ChiFlyer Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) I was not going to post this because I had put up several Slash posts recently, but this one deserves a call out IMO. Slash plays the Blues Edited May 13, 2023 by ChiFlyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiFlyer Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 The Allman Brothers Band - > "One way Out". This is interesting in that it was recorded in 1991. Duane Allman died in 1971. The lead guitar work in this recording is done by Dicky Betts (a highly underrated member of this iconic band). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpuynarak Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) This was LZ's opening song when i saw them for the second time at Salisbury City hall circa 1971. At 21yo and high as a kite on LSD it was a memorable evening lol Jimmy Page was awesome. Edited May 14, 2023 by Pumpuynarak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carried them following Duane's death - That's when they cam out with "Brother's and Sister's". What an album ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X8xeKF0CDU Edited May 14, 2023 by Glasseye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiFlyer Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) One of my favorite bands of all time as well. For me, and many others, their greatest cut was "Whipping Post" on the "Live at the Filmore East" album. This is the cut that really drove home their dual drummers innovation.

There are guys who play the guitar as well or possibly better, but Zappa was an absolute unbridled genius. The Nikola Tesla of modern music.

Rompho Ray Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Zappa on guitar, George Duke on keys, Jean-Luc Ponty on violin, the first many of us heard of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rompho Ray Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Ponty went on to do his own great things, like so many who played with Zappa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many people know that Frank Zappa covered this tune: Have to admit that I was completely unaware of the Zappa version of "Whipping Post" and I am a Zappa aficionado. The man's range and overall talent was incredible. I could pick out at least a dozen favorite songs and they would all be different. One of his lesser know efforts that I enjoyed was done with Captain Beefheart during the 1976 bicentennial. Probably what was going on in my life at the time made this one special to me.

Definitely one of the best live recordings ever, I've enjoyed this one for a long time; my personal favourite is "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" which really showcases the differences in style between Duane and Dicky - although I prefer Duane's playing, I've never considered Dicky to be underrated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiFlyer Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 A different song by Zappa that he did later in his career was "Black Napkins". I was mystified by the guitar work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, this album "Over-Nite Sensation" and "Apostrophe" are considered by many aficionados to be Zappa's "commercial sell-out" albums, but yet they are among my favorites. Great cover of a Zappa tune: Joe Satriani, Steven Vai, Eric Johnson, toured calling themselves "G3". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiFlyer Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Since we are covering Zappa tonight, here is one of his earlier works. This initially turned me off, but later on I changed my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
