Vince played with Pure Prairie League in the late seventies. Not really a country band and they had some big hits. He always hung around Albert Lee who became a country star. Albert played with guys like Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. You hang with those guys you better be able to play a guitar. You want to hear real guitar playing watch Albert Lee play country boy. I believe he was guitarist of the year six times.
Only Gregg Allman could sing It Like That, Cause He wrote it, Like That. God Rest Gregg Allman's Soul for "Providing" Thousands of us U.S. Americans with some "Top Shelf" Lyrics, and Music.
Let's not forget, Vince and Gregg both are cut from a very high-quality cloth. When Gregg was laying down hits with his brother, Duane, Vince was establishing himself in Pure Prairie League. The 70's gave us so many southern/hard rock legends, and there's 2 of them on display here.
When I first saw Vince, he was in a group called "Mountain Smoke" - back in my Oklahoma State University days at a club in Stillwater. Vince Gill - Class of 1975 - NW Classen High School - Oklahoma City !
When I was a young man I didn't understand what the old timers ment when they said they still felt young in they mind, but now that I'm 62 I know exactly what they were saying
My mom always said she felt so young in her mind. She passed last year at 97. She taught me to love Jesus, work hard, and listen to great music 🎶 ❤ God bless
And my good friend the legend Chuck Leavell; greatest piano player alive. No other can make that muscle shoals Rhythm, blues, rock sound float so melodically intertwined with the heavy rock n roll soul. One of a kind !!!🎶🎶🇺🇸🇺🇸
Agree. And if haven't already check out the guitar gently weeps all's star one in which Prince just throws down the Magic on top of all the greats. It's tight up there with this one for sure. Both so great.
And I couldn't agree more. You left any mention of Zak out of the conversation. If you wish, I will pinpoint several instances where the boy just showed he ain't on the same level as his stage mates. Shake your stocking hat and go on back to the casino scene feller.
I am 65 years old and I'm never tired of hearing that song is one of my favorites I saw him perform it live Vince Gill and Zac Brown are absolutely fabulous what a great band rest in peace Gregg Allman
@@innervisions1828. Ok. To you. Some others have appreciated his work since late 6os. I assume you are talented at Somethung. What have you given to the world that you can share so we can judge you as overrated?
Of course 'they' may not now but mostly these artists are still doing it or have passed on. Others carry on making great music. I'm 75 and never have I been unable to find awesome music and musicians. Tedeschi Trucks Band and Govt Mule are products of ABB. Are you on YT claiming you can't find great music? Are you listening and looking hard enough? Maybe not. There's always more great music to hear.
I met the band, still have the signed CD, it was a release party. I was a kid and won the tickets by singing the candy bar,Almond Joy song, cuz the first name of the band was Allman Joy. Dickie Betts was incredible, all of them are incredible musicians. Just will never forget that!
Some of us even in our teens knew that what the ABB was producing was history in the making.. 50 years later, all I can say is that it almost brings a tear to my eye to see younger generations laying hold of gold like this..
Thanks my man. This old man is now 74 kinds hot the news today. This song makes me think of the jungle in SRAsia. Think of my brothers in arms who didn't make it this far. My life changed after I sobered up I've thought often of going to Ukraine to help Maybe I could contribute positively to a worthy cause I hope to carry my dog tags Adiieu my friends. Take care
Vince Gill is a perfect example as a good Steward of God's blessings. In any event, with whomever he plays, irrespective of genre, Vince guarantees a delightful, burnished, tearfull deliverance.
I love the way Vince always steps in helps anybody in the music industry it don't matter if it's rock country he's there for everybody and his instrument playing is top notch I always has been
I can see why Vince Gill is in the bunch. Greg needed him for his wonderful falseto voice background singing and outstanding guitar. There are some people who are so good, like Prince that you see in videos with other folks. I think that Vince plays every stringed instrument in the known world and that says alot.
It's amazing to hear just how incredible Allman's voice was even at this age. He sounds EXACTLY like he did when he was in his 20's. Very, very, VERY few guys were able to maintain their voices into their 60's.
Exactly and Greg did his voice no favors. He smoked cigarettes and drank most of his life, with some illegals thrown in sometimes too. Just blessed with talent
What are the odds of arguably the greatest guitar player of all time (depending on whether you prefer technical perfection or ethereal magic badassness) and the greatest blue eyed soul singer of all time being brothers.
My little sister recently pass away. Not a seat was vacant! I wish my mind had been clearer on that day and this wonderful prayerful song would have been included! Rest in peace my best friend, Linda!!!
What an honor it was for hear two country musicians to play and sing with Gregg Allman, member of best Southern Rock Band ever to grace a stage. Only Jao alive today. I long to see them all reunited in Paradise to play once again. Te elstion 21:1-4 promises we'll see it.
Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow!!!!!!!!!! Everybody just nails it!!! Greg's voice! Vince's jam! Zac's loving it. Keyboards, drums, horns! Greg's voice is one of the incredible things I've ever heard, live!!!!! 👌 Wow!!!
Vince is awesome. You can see in his full expressions that he knows he is in the presence of greatness and wants to absorb whatever he can from this greatness and then realizes he is one of them. That is hope for the rest of us. Bless y'all.
Vince is so funny - he said in one show that he lives in a big house because he sings like a girl. But he shreds like an all time PRO....never hogs the stage, always shows respect to the other players and is seriously humble. Great guy.
Greg had his issues like most of us did in the 70's. But he was a righteous guy. He came into my shop one day and was looking at a nice leather jacket we had at "Comes the Sun" in Buckhead Ga. When I saw him , I began to look around for Duane, who was my guitar god. Duane was not with him on that day but Greg wanted that jacket. I told Greg I'd give him the jacket at my cost (50 % off ) if he would wear it on his next album cover. I never thought about it again until I looked on the back of the live at Filmore album and sure enough he had it on. He was overshadowed by Duane and Dickey for many years but had immense talent that the world realized eventually .
This performance is epic! Chuck Leavell on keyboards totally gave the song a melodic tumble up and down the register that blew it out of the water! Kenny Aronoff on drums is inspirational and of course Vince Gill slayed it vocally and on the guitar. Gregg Allman, you rocked it! R.I.P.
@@Christopher_Bachm Your correct I honestly think he's right up there with B.B. Eric Jimmy and who ever else my y buzzed ass can't think of right now!!
And all that reading went out the window when Chuck Leavell overran his solo. Did you see the look of horror at 1:44? I bet Don Was (on bass) straightened that out.
I've had the pleasure of sitting and talking to Vince Gill while working security at a venue he plays yearly. The guy is so humble and down to earth it's amazing.
Vince Gill, showing his true talent…he’s stepped in for numerous bands and has far exceeded expectation in my book. Rest easy Gregg Allman, and rock on Zach Brown.
Kenny Aronoff is everywhere playing with everybody. He’s just awesome on the drums. I’ve always been a big Vince Gill fan. He’s one of the greatest guitar players and is so under rated.
Allman Brothers Band is a highwater mark in the world of music. Greg's voice is the perfect blend of soulful, gritty and somehow buttery all at the same time. Usually these big group jams bore me, but this one is especially good.
I'm 66 & was so blessed to have seen them 4 times in 76-77...I was 18 then & 19 when the plane crashed...I had just heard Street Survivors Allbum at a party that had a kick ass stereo a few days before I heard the bad news.. Seems like yesterday every time ...every day I listen to at least a couple songs from 77...not this Tribute band...I'm glad they can carry on the music like RVZ would approve of...
I am 67 and within the last year or two I finally had my son put together a record player so I could listen to my old albums again and it’s been great so thank you for UA-cam so that I could actually see them other than just them
NO ONE, & I MEAN NO ONE, can do this song like Gregg Allman! He wrote it, he sings it, he plays it. This is his best piece of music ever! NO ONE CAN HOLD A CANDLE TO GREGG ALLMAN & THE MIDNIGHT RIDER. Be at peace, Midnight Rider. I'll see you in Paradise.
@@SilentKnight43 I stood outside a small bar right behind Kenny and watched him hammer away. Every so often wood chipped and flew off his sticks. It was awesome!
As a die hard southern rocker I always felt Gregg was shafted by life having to live in his brothers shadow but everytime I saw Gregg Allman the show kicked ass! I cannot say such things about the Allman brothers band. Both are great but one was a true artist playing anywhere , anytime. His name was Gregg Allman
I loved and admired each one of the band members. Loved everything they ever did, but to me,Gregg was the ‘soul’ of the band, through my eyes, and my ears, and my heart.
Zac is a PRO!! He's very careful not to upstage Gregg's vocals by over-singing his parts, and instead chooses to shadow Gregg's beautiful voice in perfect step. That's the sign of true respect and a fine human being.
Vince Gill manages to show his versatility in nearly all he does, virtuoso guitarist, fine vocalist and influenced by a host of genres. He's truly a musical prodigy.
I love the guy, he is all that you said plus just a great human being. Here, he looks like he was mowing the yard and cleaning up some brush and got a call to come sit in on Midnight Rider...where he proceeded to sing beautiful, perfect back up vocals and nail a badass solo. So great...the whole thing
Zack Brown has to pinching himself to make sure it all isn’t just a dream to be on stage with those guys doing ‘Midnight Rider’. You can tell he is certainly appreciative and honored to be there.
My friend Kim Payne was a roadie for Gregg and Co. in the early days,he lives in Alabama. Greg called him at his house one day and said we are going on a national tour again. Can you come out to Ca. and join us? So my friend got on his 1968 CB350 Honda and rode out there on it in several days. On his way out he wrote this song in his head when he arrived he told Greg about it and they sat down tweaked it and put it to music. His name is on the sheet music as co writer with Gregg. He has the gold record in his house,he is mentioned several times in Greg's book He's pictured on the back cover of the Live at Filmore East album wit the other roadies. He also has a new book out called Roadie. He is a friend and I feel lucky to know the lost history of this song and know the true story. Now you do too......
Greg alman late 80's kissimi 192 playing at water mania,,, god it was great,, those other 2 guys .. great job !! They are all masters.. glad i was there ! This world is so full of talent !!! Good lord sure knows his buss.. huh!!! Go swift 24
For those of you that don’t know, Vince Gill is a monster on the guitar! This is coming from a Stevie Ray Vaughan fan! I love Vince gill! He can rock the house. Zach Brown is cool, and Greg, may Creator stand You tall brother 🙏 Gone, but NOT forgotten. You are a legend. I’ll bet your Harley is shined up, and you’re riding with the king. I still have my silver dollar. See you in the spirit world my brother🏍
Ya know what? Age has nothin t'do with recognizing good music! I'm 80, too. I still cain't hep it! Music makes me move, y'all. LOL And percussion is one of my voices.

Not being much of a country music fan I never realized just how awesome a guitar player Vince is. He rocks it.
One of the best guitarist ever hand down
When Mark Knopfler asks you to join Dire Straits, yeah you are a pretty awesome musician.
Not much of a Country fan either but DAMN! The vocals and instrument genius is on f'ing FIRE!
Vince played with Pure Prairie League in the late seventies. Not really a country band and they had some big hits. He always hung around Albert Lee who became a country star. Albert played with guys like Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. You hang with those guys you better be able to play a guitar.

Yes he did that's very right I don't know I forgot what he did but he made it right and he's a great greatest of them the Allman Brothers
Cher??? A big mistake

Perfection at its best! Never will i forget the smooth vibe and jammin ' thank you for sharing your journey
if you listening to this great song a BIG THumbs UP TO YOU IN 2024
Oh I'll be listening to this until the end of time~! April 2024~
✌🏽💚💙💜
Oh hell yeah - it's all good in my hood!!!
I will listen to this until I'm dead and gone!
Every day every way. 75 and still alive
Vince Gill is this salt of the earth dude who has the music in his soul
As a many musicians alike.
@@lisaweaver986 Sorry, there's only ONE V.G. though and that's who Pat was referring too ! Do you understand now ?
And Gregg with his sweet voice. Played right up until the end, even as the cancer was eating him away.
RIP
True... Timeless as Johnny Cash
@@BrianCarnevaleB26 Greg was the shit, no one like him!
LOVED Vince Gill's guitar solo. Kenny Aronoff's drumming was superb, as always.
I came here to say something about Kenny's playing. Dude is THE boss of the kit.
Kenny Aronoff is everywhere playing with everybody. He’s just awesome on the drums. I’ve always been a big Vince Gill fan. He’s one of the greatest guitar players and is so under rated.
Clapton's keyboard man ( Chuck Lavelle ? ) is one of the best in the biz'.
@@trswanson9604 Chuck was a member of the Allman Brothers Band in the 70’s, hence the connection.
@@LeeGibsonSings lol Philippians y
Damn !! What a great rendition of The Weight. They were very much in sync with this one.
Vince Gill makes this son so much better because he is an awesome guitar player!
Vince killed it. One of the best guitar players and most underrated.
Definitely
Agreed. Absolutely. Vince slays.
Not underated, the guy is amazing everbody knows that
He may not have big star name like Allman but in the biz, he's considered genius.
@@nizzurtmontalgizzert3337 This.
Allman Brothers Band is a highwater mark in the world of music. Greg's voice is the perfect blend of soulful, gritty and somehow buttery all at the same time. Usually these big group jams bore me, but this one is especially good.
Gregg's songs were always a Lil more rough n haunting...Dicky's smoother but they were good together
Because it's a ftm tranz person all of em are Allman is a sheeee
They kept it short
I'm 66 & was so blessed to have seen them 4 times in 76-77...I was 18 then & 19 when the plane crashed...I had just heard Street Survivors Allbum at a party that had a kick ass stereo a few days before I heard the bad news..
Seems like yesterday every time ...every day I listen to at least a couple songs from 77...not this Tribute band...I'm glad they can carry on the music like RVZ would approve of...
I am 67 and within the last year or two I finally had my son put together a record player so I could listen to my old albums again and it’s been great so thank you for UA-cam so that I could actually see them other than just them
NO ONE, & I MEAN NO ONE, can do this song like Gregg Allman! He wrote it, he sings it, he plays it. This is his best piece of music ever! NO ONE CAN HOLD A CANDLE TO GREGG ALLMAN & THE MIDNIGHT RIDER. Be at peace, Midnight Rider. I'll see you in Paradise.
Legendary Kenny Aronoff on the kit! Who's here enjoying this stellar rendition during coronavirus 2020?
I could watch an entire concert and just key in on Kenny the whole time.
@@SilentKnight43 I stood outside a small bar right behind Kenny and watched him hammer away. Every so often wood chipped and flew off his sticks. It was awesome!
Kenny's a deeply underappreciated legend.
The rona doesn't exist ppl but for some reason strep throat dose in which I have ...its not fun..
Here enjoying 06/2020
As a die hard southern rocker I always felt Gregg was shafted by life having to live in his brothers shadow but everytime I saw Gregg Allman the show kicked ass! I cannot say such things about the Allman brothers band. Both are great but one was a true artist playing anywhere , anytime. His name was Gregg Allman
💯🤙🏻😎🤔
I loved and admired each one of the band members. Loved everything they ever did, but to me,Gregg was the ‘soul’ of the band, through my eyes, and my ears, and my heart.
Vince Gill did a killer solo and his 335 is sounding good as hell. Also Jack Pearson was present. Jack Pearson is a man amongst men!
This is such an amazing version of this song, Vince Gill kicked ass with that solo and Gregg and Zac’s voices work so well together
Great video! I love how Zac Brown "bows" to Gregg. That's cool.
Greg > zac
Vince takes it
I agree with that !
Duane would be proud!
Zac is a PRO!! He's very careful not to upstage Gregg's vocals by over-singing his parts, and instead chooses to shadow Gregg's beautiful voice in perfect step. That's the sign of true respect and a fine human being.
Greg Allman is it as far as I’m concerned. The Allman Brothers created southern rock, and no other band comes close. His voice is haunting...
Southern Blues. One of the greatest Blues singers of our time.
🙏 amen 💣
CAN WE GET AN AMEN!!♥️
Sorry, Tammy 666! I just saw your Amen! Ok, can we get 2 Amens!
@@kwondo780 amen, amen😊
I am 73 .. this song takes me back to a wonderful simpler time .. totally enjoyed it .. Thanks
72 here what you said !!!
A powerful song❤😂 RIP brother
Vince Gill manages to show his versatility in nearly all he does, virtuoso guitarist, fine vocalist and influenced by a host of genres. He's truly a musical prodigy.
I love the guy, he is all that you said plus just a great human being. Here, he looks like he was mowing the yard and cleaning up some brush and got a call to come sit in on Midnight Rider...where he proceeded to sing beautiful, perfect back up vocals and nail a badass solo. So great...the whole thing
Great point... Modesty is his single greatest attribute
And modest enough to not hog the stage even though he''s totally qualified to do it.
@@flowerfarmerscott humble...💕
Ole, Sweet Pea.
GROWING up with this music was some of the best times of my life!NEVER TO BE FORGOTON
Totally agree with you. Listening from Aotearoa New Zealand
its some of the best toons ever!!!
These men ARE/WERE jthe best at what they do ! R.I.P. Mr . Greg Allman , one of a KIND !
The Allman Brothers Band was my first concert at age 14 in Mobile, AL. Gregg Allman looked like a movie ⭐
Zack Brown has to pinching himself to make sure it all isn’t just a dream to be on stage with those guys doing ‘Midnight Rider’. You can tell he is certainly appreciative and honored to be there.
His voice is perfection
Yes, I sensed that also. Zack Brown's humility is admirable. A great talent in his own right, he fit in just perfect with GA and VG. Truly amazing.
Vince Gill is one of the most underrated guitar players ever
Damn skippy. That boy plays his A off!
Underrated by who? He's a fuckin legend!
BEST done just Right
I always thought he sang like I imagined a unic would but when he plays that guitar he is a full grown man no doubt.

@@sweetest247cheers to you from bradenton, pal! 🥂

I lived in Bradenton a short while.
Were you born & raised in Florida?
Amazing lineup, amazing song! So good to see and hear Gregg Allman! He's still killing it!🎤🎶🎶
How could you NOT love this song?
My friend Kim Payne was a roadie for Gregg and Co. in the early days,he lives in Alabama. Greg called him at his house one day and said we are going on a national tour again. Can you come out to Ca. and join us? So my friend got on his 1968 CB350 Honda and rode out there on it in several days. On his way out he wrote this song in his head when he arrived he told Greg about it and they sat down tweaked it and put it to music. His name is on the sheet music as co writer with Gregg. He has the gold record in his house,he is mentioned several times in Greg's book He's pictured on the back cover of the Live at Filmore East album wit the other roadies. He also has a new book out called Roadie. He is a friend and I feel lucky to know the lost history of this song and know the true story. Now you do too......
I am so happy to know that story. Thank you!
Peace
Thanks for sharing that! 👍
That is the kind of thing that makes a song come to life! Very happy to have read your friend's story and very glad you have a friend like that.
@wolfgangzrt Smith - That's a great story. Thanks for sharing it.
Vince Gill has the most amazing voice and kills it on the guitar. Pure praire league..
Vince Gill is a really underrated player.
He wasnt with them for their best song, "Aimee"...most think he was.

For those of you that don’t know, Vince Gill is a monster on the guitar! This is coming from a Stevie Ray Vaughan fan! I love Vince gill! He can rock the house. Zach Brown is cool, and Greg, may Creator stand You tall brother 🙏 Gone, but NOT forgotten. You are a legend. I’ll bet your Harley is shined up, and you’re riding with the king. I still have my silver dollar. See you in the spirit world my brother🏍
