Listen to Luther & Cody Dickinson Join Butch Truck’s Freight Train Band for an Epic “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” at Wanee – 4/19/2017 Full Show AUD

Butch Trucks, one of the founding members of both the Allman Brothers Band and one of the premier jam band festivals every Spring/Summer, Wanee, was honored this past Wednesday at the opening of the festival. Wanee has managed to start their festival on Wednesday and kicked off the 5-day festival with one hell of a tribute to the iconic ABB drummer who passed away earlier this year.

Butch’s last band was The Freight Train Band. Luther and Cody Dickinson from the North Mississippi Allstars joined the massive Freight Train Band on Wednesday night for a rockin’ set of Allman tunes and a couple of covers.

One of the highlights of the set came at the end with Luther leading the band in a 20 minute plus rendition of “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.” Luther is no stranger to the Allman classic. Check out a “Liz Reed” for the ages that he performed with Tedeschi Trucks Band last year at the Beacon.

Butch is survived by his two kids, Vaylor and Melody who played in the the Freight Train Band as well. What a wonderful way to celebrate Butch’s life and music and to kick-off Wanee!

Watch Oteil Burbridge and JRAD Bust Out a Glorious “In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed > Here Comes Sunshine” at Brooklyn Bowl

Another weekend, another incredible run from Joe Russo’s Almost Dead with Dead and Company and Allman Brothers’ Oteil Burbridge on bass. JRAD finished up their second run at Brooklyn Bowl last night, marking their 6th show in two weeks at the Brooklyn venue.

On the 6th and final night of #MarchRADness, JRAD, specifically Scott Metzger stepped up and delivered this incredible cover of the Allman Brothers’ “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” to a sold out crowd at the Bowl. The blazing cover segued nicely back in “Here Comes Sunshine.” Joe Russo even had a nice little drum solo tucked into the cover.

Thanks again to Lazy Lightning for this great, side of the stage 4k footage!

Watch Gov’t Mule Commemorate the Allman Brothers Band Final Show with “In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed” in New Haven

It’s been nearly four weeks since the Mule has taken the stage. They kicked off their fall tour last night on a particularly memorable night for Allman Brother Band fans. October 28th, 2014 was the last official ABB show. The historical significance of this date was not lost on Papa Warren.

Watch Gov’t Mule pay tribute to ABB with the special help of Steve Elson with a version of “Liz Reed” that breaks out into “Kind of Bird” and finally into a rockin’ “I’m a Ram.”

Here are some other tunes from the concert thanks to the mighty Sean Roche

Just Got Paid

Sad and Deep as You

Peakin’ at the Beacon: Watch Tedeschi Trucks Band and Luther Dickinson Play a Blazing 18-Minute “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” at the Beacon

Tedeschi Trucks Band continued their Beacon run last night in NYC and put on a show for the ages.

Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna opened up the show and he was the the clear favorite to guest during TTB’s set, but Luther Dickinson from North Mississippi Allstars ended up coming out towards the end of the show for some sit ins.

After a cover of the Beatles’ “I’ve Got a Feeling,” Luther and TTB returned the Beacon to the glory days of the ABB runs with an absolutely smokin’ rendition of the Dickey Betts’ signature tune, “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.”

There are still two more nights of the TTB run at the Beacon. I’m looking forward to more of this in the final shows!

Thanks to Marc Millman for the excellent footage!
