This is great. Thanks. 

Good stuff. I remember the first time seeing Warren Haynes play he used the silver PRS on slide and lead. It sounded good. This was Dickey's band in 1988. He uses it on the 1989 Allman Brothers Band shows on YouTube. 

According to his website, the silver PRS is still listed on his gear guide page so he still has it...along with another PRS, two Fender Stratocasters and many Gibson Les Paul axes including Warren Haynes customs, several Gibson Firebirds and about three Gibson ES-335s. 

And a number of acoustics of different makes. 

Warren is one of my favorites. 

That was really special, and thanks for posting.  I don't know if I've ever come across another guitar player who is even remotely at Warren's level who is also that humble, eloquent, and just plain old nice.  Also, it sounds like David Allan Coe is a real A-Hole, although Warren (of course) never came out and said it!

@robslob David Allen Coe had an album deal with Columbia and was a known act across the country when Warren was offered his first gig beyond local bands in Ashville, N C. and David was the OPPOSITE of Warren and his values. 

David Allen Coe is a hardcore southern biker redneck racist Confederate flag waving Hells Angles type. 

Warren played in his band for awhile but it was too weird for him. 

David is a good song writer though but some of his off lable early albums are horribly racists with the N word used in the lyrics. 

Best thing that happened to Warren his meeting Dickey. Dickey saw a solid musician and the best slide player since Duane died for ABB style music. 

I think the first project Dickey had for Warren was playing on Dickey's new country album recorded in Nashville. After it was finished, Dickey decided not to release it and Warren as recently said it didn't work. 

Next Dickey called Warren and said gets do a rock album together which was Pattern Disruptive. 

Warren since Dickey's passing has credited Dickey with giving him the break he needed to have a real career and Dickey convinced Gregg and Butch that Warren was the right guy to take Duane Allman's spot in the Allman Brothers Band. 

Warren was getting ready to record HIS first solo album but out that on hold so he could tour in 1989 with the Allman Brothers Band. And that tour was a one off to support the Dreams box set and the band's 20th anniversary. 

Warren said the band sounded so good and the crowds were the biggest Gregg and Dickey had in years and the most money Gregg and Dickey made in years so they decided to record Seven Turns and tour in 1990 too. 

I'm sure you already know all that. I'm just an old bored man snowed in and decided to type it out in case younger fans hadn't heard the story. 

Warren said playing next to Dickey was the first time he played with another guitar player who was already a legend and didn't sound like another famous player but sounded like Dickey Betts with a big killer tone. 

Warren said it inspired him to find his own style and stop showing his influences. 

I think Warren would have eventually made a mark in the business if he hadn't met Dickey but Dickey wasn't sure he would have if he hadn't met Duane Allman. 

Warren's first year with the band. 1989. He fit perfectly. 

Everyone check out this LIVE version of Blue Sky I had no heard before. Fantastic slide solo from Warren Haynes that just keeps going and going! Great playing from Warren.
