You're so right. If I didn't know it was LLB and I was just listening to the music LLB was the Allman Brothers. I honestly wouldn't have noticed the differences. Well, actually I would have. One of the piano/organ solos in the ABB version sounded like a finger slide or hit a wrong note. It was always part of the song, and I was waiting for the LLB to play it
Every time this bass player is on, I just love watching him. He is so stoic about the whole thing. Doesn't miss a thing and is great. But will not smile. Not once😊
As a fellow bassist, I'm well aware of the stereotype: Q: "How many bassists does it take to screw in a light bulb?" A: "None... you don't need light on that side of the stage." 🤣
Me too, the guy is great. I once had an older musician who was kind of a mentor to me, and he would always say you don't need to jump around and make faces, just play the music.
My twin sons were born in 1973. They grew up listening to the Allman Brothers and have played some of their songs in their band. NEVER LIKE THIS - OF COURSE!!! ❤
You can never match a vocal song because you just can't match another person's voice but as far as instrumentals go, this is without a doubt the greatest cover version that I have ever heard by far. They've got it down to a T. This is officially the GOAT of instrumental cover versions.
What an absolute joy it is to hear a southern rock classic resurrected so lovingly and brilliantly by a younger generation of artists. Thanks from the bottom of my heart, gentlemen!
Flawless performance. The complexity of the song, the note-for-note rendition, and the cohesiveness of all the band members to bring it all together is amazing. Takes me all the way back to the 70’s when I first heard this song.
What an incredible tribute to Dickey Betts and the Allman Brothers! The only difference between this version and the original is the people playing. Everything else is IDENTICAL!! Unbelievably fantastic! Thank you guys for this one!
Beautiful, you see the heads bobbing, the legs moving, the feet dancing, and the smiles. You guys make such beautiful music and it sure looks like you have a great time doing it. THAT makes it very special each time!!!!
@@memstuff4634 yes I am watching, again, and again, I see enjoyment and satisfaction on their faces, and in their motions. This group doesn't do anything that they don't enjoy
Mike, You are my FAVORITE music group. You guys are such of talented musicians! We are so grateful that you bring back this great songs! You guys make them sound better than the original ones. I have been recommending your music videos to all of my family and friends! Please keep on doing that great job! I love you guys! ✌️
Wow !! Not only would the original Allman Brothers just LOVE to hear this, but Chuck Leavelle would just as much. Please more Allman Brothers --- one of the very BEST lives bands ever ! Thank you so much for this Lexington Lab Band -- this was truly incredible -- keep up the GREAT work !! 😂🤣💪
It’s a quiet cloudy day in East Tennessee and the Lexington Lab Band just burst thru the clouds and my feet are tapping and as usual I feel blessed to hear their music. Thanks to all!
Absolutely positutely amazing, I'm 72 and was lucky enough to see them live at little Marietta College in 1970 or 71 (I'm so old I can't remember) and you guys sound just like them, thank you.
My dad used to play this one for me….as far back as I can remember. He’s been gone 8+ years now, but I still smile every time this one comes on. Such an incredible tune in the soundtrack of our lives. Well done LLB! 🥰 🙏🏻
This is simply another outstanding performance! Don’t you guys get tired of being soo good?! This is not an easy “cover “ and you performed it to perfection! Sounded like the original, doesn’t get better than THAT! When you play as well as the best, you’re awfully dang good! Well done, well done, BRAVO!
Sometimes music is great with no vocals. This is incredible. Everyone played their parts to perfection. I could get lost in this one and keep listening to it over and over. LLB completely smashed this one. I know the Allman Brothers would definitely approve this cover and be proud of it. Fantastic job everyone.
Every single one of you!!!!! Amazing!!! There is no one that could ever touch LLB musicians! 🎶 Come on Labor Day weekend!!! Can’t get here soon enough!
That's ironic - because you just listened to musicians that created music like this *nowadays* . They didn't compose it though - but I'm sure there are still many excellent songwriters out there too.
At the gym I go to, at least half of the music has samples from decades ago, and my 30-something trainer is always surprised when I say something like, "Oh, those horns are sampled from Chicago 'Street Player'".
"Modern music" is for 95% something any chimpansee with a symthesizer/sampler can create. The 70s and 80s were on a whole different and much higher level.
❤3LB That just touched my heart. I started playing guitar listening to the Allman Brothers and named my daughter Jessica. With the passing of Dickey Betts 😥 and playing what I believe is the best song he ever wrote, ..... well done you guys.... well done
One thing about a monster instrumental is that everybody gets a chance to show off a little. This demonstrates there is not a weak link among you. FANTASTIC STUFF!!!
Sometimes a ‘like’ doesn’t come close to giving the credit that’s deserved. This is flawless! Outstanding in every way 👏
Another great cover, The Brothers would be proud. Can’t wait until September
Well said!
Real music is a thing of the past it seems like. Could anything like this come out today? I doubt it. Thanks to all of you for the memories.
You're so right. If I didn't know it was LLB and I was just listening to the music LLB was the Allman Brothers. I honestly wouldn't have noticed the differences. Well, actually I would have.

Mm m@@georgemichael7178
Perfection!!!!!!
Pure music heaven...... The Allman Brothers would be proud !!!!!!!!!
Definitely
OMG!! Amazing tribute!! ... RIP Dickey Betts. You are remembered right here.
Yep beautiful ❤❤❤
Every time this bass player is on, I just love watching him. He is so stoic about the whole thing. Doesn't miss a thing and is great. But will not smile. Not once😊
Randy is a awesome player and a awesome dude!
As a fellow bassist, I'm well aware of the stereotype: Q: "How many bassists does it take to screw in a light bulb?" A: "None... you don't need light on that side of the stage." 🤣
I was thinking the same thing. Randy is always rock solid.
Love Randy's tone-what amp is he groovn' on? Just sounds right.
Me too, the guy is great. I once had an older musician who was kind of a mentor to me, and he would always say you don't need to jump around and make faces, just play the music.
RIP Dickey Betts. Excellent rendition of this song Dickey wrote for his daughter Jessica.
I had forgotten that - thank you!!!!!
Duane, Greg, Betts are you listening? you are still here. Music never dies....
Randy's bass playing is sublime. Never flashy, always perfect. Everything a great bassist should be. Man, you guys can sure pick 'em!
And that folks, is why Lexington Lab Band is the best. No debate.
-edit- commented wrong reply :-)
Tonight, on TOP GEAR
I wear some goggles, Richard falls down a small slope, and James says "hello" to a man
I drive a tractor, James makes some gin, and Richard gives his daughter driving lessons.
I fight some sheep, James says “Cheese”, and Richard sleeps with his Oliver
Thank you Stephan, Roger, Derrick, Austin, Mike, Randy Refalo, Tucker & Joel for this awesome cover of a life long favourite song of mine.
Please…. Take the time and close your eyes and just listen!! You will transported back to 1973 and a great time for music. Perfect job LLB!!!
Sounds just like the brothers! Beautiful!
I saw the Allman Brothers do this tune at Eastown Theater in Detroit. With all the original members!
My twin sons were born in 1973. They grew up listening to the Allman Brothers and have played some of their songs in their band. NEVER LIKE THIS - OF COURSE!!! ❤

This is not a cover. This is a perfect replica of the original. And, the sound engineer is as much a part of this group as is each musician.
seriously!
Hey babies that was the Allman Brothers on 99.3 WFRE rocking Kentucky with classic rock. Great job. Can't tell the difference. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
D93 Bowling Green ain't no joke neither! And I live in Tampa😅
Close my eyes and the Allman's are playing!
When a seven and half minute song seems too short ; you've got to be doing something right.
Absolutely fantastic. Musicianship of the highest order.
Awesome!!! RIP Dickey. One of the greats. Thank you LLB
I can tell you that my neighbours are going to enjoy hearing this one, whether they want to or not. Superb!
Tonight on TOP GEAR. LOL😄😄😄😄
Excellent job fellas!!! I think the ABB would love what you all did 👍
Wow, that is incredible musical talent right there!! Everyone is right on time, perfection!!! Thank you for doing this fantastic song!!!
That was perfect!
The duel guitar work between Lefty and Jason Bateman is superb. The whole band in this tune is spot on!
Took me right back, thanks for that.... and Thank You Allman Brothers and Dickey Betts.
What a great tribute. Long k
Live the Allman Brothers
Sweet Tribute to Mr. Dickey Bettes .. LLB Bringing it home with Jessica!! 🔥😎🔥..
One more flawless example of what these excellent musicians are capable of doing. Great job. We named our daughter after this song.
What an absolute joy it is to hear a southern rock classic resurrected so lovingly and brilliantly by a younger generation of artists. Thanks from the bottom of my heart, gentlemen!
Austin killed it as usual.....what a talent !
L.L.B. keep doing what you do!!! Rock America and whoever else is listening!!! 😁🎸🎶
Listening and watching from South Africa.
Flawless performance. The complexity of the song, the note-for-note rendition, and the cohesiveness of all the band members to bring it all together is amazing. Takes me all the way back to the 70’s when I first heard this song.
What an incredible tribute to Dickey Betts and the Allman Brothers! The only difference between this version and the original is the people playing. Everything else is IDENTICAL!! Unbelievably fantastic! Thank you guys for this one!
I am ever in awe of the caliber of musicians associated with LLB. It makes for a pure listening experience.
You guys can’t be that damn good
You never pick an easy piece of music to redo.
Thank you. PRIDE
Maybe a little too good ....
I have a daughter named Jessica.
When I hear this song, I think of her beautiful face.
You guys did the Allman Brothers right !
The best rock instrumental song ever then and now!
*lexington Lab Band* Bravo well done, thank-you for taking the time top bring us along. GOD Bless.
Lexington area drummer here. I didn't know who Tucker Wilson was before watching this great performance. I sure do now. That dude is fantastic here.
Would love to connect. Send us a note through our website
@@LexingtonLabBand Done!
This group is my library of music now......amazing.
Beautiful, you see the heads bobbing, the legs moving, the feet dancing, and the smiles. You guys make such beautiful music and it sure looks like you have a great time doing it. THAT makes it very special each time!!!!
Were you watching the same clip? Where were all these smiles you talk about? Great playing but it didn’t seem they were actually enjoying it.
@@memstuff4634 yes I am watching, again, and again, I see enjoyment and satisfaction on their faces, and in their motions. This group doesn't do anything that they don't enjoy
The best cover of Jessica I’ve ever heard. I think Dickey would approve!
Mike, You are my FAVORITE music group. You guys are such of talented musicians! We are so grateful that you bring back this great songs! You guys make them sound better than the original ones. I have been recommending your music videos to all of my family and friends! Please keep on doing that great job! I love you guys! ✌️
Another GREAT performance by the BEST. You are all true pros for sure. I especially am amazed by the left handed picker. That cat can PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite Allman Bro's tunes.Ya'll did it right..
An excellent tribute to Dickey Betts. If he heard this fantastic cover, he was dancing in heaven. Thank you guys for this awesome piece of music.
100% PERFECT! Love it! What a tribute to Dickie Betts! So glad this music lives on!

During my scout years I led pioneers to the Pacific. All I needed to endure the brutal elements was Jessica. By Lex Lab. OUT-STANDING!
Phenomenal! I never would have known it wasn't the Allman Brothers.
Great rendition of a classic song!!!
Best 7 and 1/2 minutes I've spent in a long time. Outstanding!
Superb job guys. RIP Dickey.
Sometimes music is great with no vocals. This is incredible. Everyone played their parts to perfection. I could get lost in this one and keep listening to it over and over. LLB completely smashed this one. I know the Allman Brothers would definitely approve this cover and be proud of it. Fantastic job everyone.
Thanks again LLB for sharing your talents. Wonderful performance of this song
Y’all are incredible. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. This song is absolutely beautiful and flawlessly recreated. Bravo!!!

Standing ovation for this cover is well deserved….congratulations LLB.
The timing is beautiful with the recent passing of Dickie Betts. Well done LLB.
WOW! Just wow! This made me happy cry a bit. Excellent job by everyone and perfect time to release this. Mr. Betts would be honored.
It's easy to get lost in a long instrumental. This was pure perfectiom......
All I can say for you guys is, “The Allman Brothers would be proud of your hard work.” Well done Lex!
Holy smokes nailed the guitar solo!
❤

Dickie Betts would be proud. Absolutely flawless tribute.
"On that terrible disappointment it is time to end thanks watching top gear good night" this song will always make me think of top gear.
Outstanding!! Great job. Dickey would be proud.
Saw the Alleman brothers a few times in my life. You guys nailed it Thank you
Jessica has always been my happy time song!!! GR8 job guys!!!!

This is the best cover I have ever heard of this songs!! FANTASTIC!!
For us in the uk it used to be top gear a car show opening music well done guys brilliant as ever thanks for sharing 🤔👏😎🇬🇧
Why can’t musicians today create music like this anymore?

All the good riffs have been taken
Same reason they can't read cursive writing
AWSOME ...Thank you Stephan and Roger along with the rest of the LLB crew
These guys never cease to amaze me... Absolutely spot on. Wow! ❤👏👏👏👏👌👍👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
How can any modern music be played at this level. The '70 was the Pinnacle of modern music.
"Modern music" is for 95% something any chimpansee with a symthesizer/sampler can create. The 70s and 80s were on a whole different and much higher level.

That just touched my heart. I started playing guitar listening to the Allman Brothers and named my daughter Jessica. With the passing of Dickey Betts 😥 and playing what I believe is the best song he ever wrote, ..... well done you guys.... well done
OUT-DAMN-STANDING!!! The Brothers would be damn proud of ya, I am, and I’m not even a Brother. Musicianship Supreme!!!
The Allman Brothers were one of my favorites when I was growing up. You guys nailed it. You're band is so tight and you never miss a beat....
Outstanding!!
Perhaps my favorite Allman Brothers song and you guys knocked it out of the park! Outstanding! Bravo!
Wonderful musicianship by all... thanks!
OMG A FLAWLESS MASTERPIECE! BRAVO!
I closed my eyes and was taken back to the Allman Brothers playing this. Flawless
One thing about a monster instrumental is that everybody gets a chance to show off a little. This demonstrates there is not a weak link among you. FANTASTIC STUFF!!!
Got that right🔥🔥🔥🔥
That could not be any better.
