I was really impressed with Johnny's slide playing! He's got fabulous technique and is precise, soulful, yet capable of exploding into the stratesphere. I think the stand-out for me was Johnny Stachela, Duane's foil on twin lead and slide.
I love Duane's lead playing, and he's really established himself as solid lead player. Duane's songwriting is really coming into its own. His new album has some great original material. He not only looks like his Dad to a T however, he even sounds like him. Turns out, Tyler 'Falcon' Greenwell sat in tomight! You'd think he and Duane's drummer had played together for years! Very Tedeschi Trucks Band-like. I don't know anything about them, but I will look into them as they were excellent! Besides being very tight, they were also jammy, and their vocals were superb with some fabulous harmonies.ĭuane's band stage set up looked exactly like the original Allman Brothers Band with two guitars, bass, keyboards and two drummers. Thank goodness I didn't! This was a CRAZY good show! The Cordovas opened the night with a great set that really set up the evening. And to think I almost bailed on this show because the weather was wet and chilly.
