Leavin Trunk - Taj Mahal with Allman Brothers Band video free download

I wonder who filmed this / great camera work

Y know for old schoolers, we know a recording trick that goes back at least as far as Howlin Wolf. Vocals would shift into a timbre derived from the mic bluesers used for harmonicas. Later that became a standard tone (for example it can be heard on Little Feat / Lowell George recs----what's that track where LG cites "sore displeased" ? -- & Capt Beefheart used it , too). //// Note how at 4:50 Taj flips N2 that tone just by vocal skill.

Just before the 1 min mark ? " I go home , lay down on the funk ? "I know its sposed 2 B "floor" but that clearly aint what he said...........

Great Back up band! LOL!

Christina Lee

Good lawd. Dirtay' fiya.

I wonder if Taj Mahal and Angelique Kidjo have ever collaborated. Taj is like a force of nature, and so is she.

This version is only ok. If you want to see it ripping up, check out the version with the Black Crowes - that one really blows this up, not even close. Also, Jesse Ed Davis was great, Warren is good, period. Warren's solos are just notes, not music. Educate yourself about Jesse's accomplishments so you don't sound stupid.

People!! Derek and Warren BOTH are outstanding guitar players and something else......Warren can SING!

That's a bit rough! I agree that the Rock and Roll Circus version is beyond compare. It's superb in every respect. But you have to remember that was 40 yrs earlier. I don't think you can knock a great band simply because they are successful. They have money in the bank because people want to see them and hear their records. I think the two guitars in this track are pretty good, even if they don't have the same scratchy feel as Jesse Ed Davis. Get more philosophical, Socrates!

2:27 Taj ripped the two best guitar player a new on "somebody play the guitar"
