I don’t think it’s that late - ‘95 I think?

Totally appreciate why you’d dig it, Derek always ripped it up. I never cared for it much, felt a little generic to me. But I’m not big on Warren’s heavy stuff, seemed more like a Mule song.

Hmmm. I'm trying to remember if I saw the ABB do that song but I remember the Govt Mule show where I saw the Mule play it. It is a nice blues number.

Also remember between a couple of songs some guy near mr yelled "Play all night!" and Warren heard it and said "Where have I heard that before"?

Warren is one of the most versatile musicians I've seen. He can play so many styles and genres of music and real good too.

Love Worried Down with the Blues, also liked it when they paired it with Desdemona.....

I also like Larry McCray's version - it's on his album Born to Play the Blues, which also includes a version of Woman Across the River.....

I love the song and always was hoping that Gregg would occasionally sing it live. Should of been on Hittin the note instead of Rockin horse.

Hitting the Note was a good album but not a great album. Perhaps some of the song selection could have been better.

The band's studio albums post 1989 were all good albums with Where It All Begins the best seller going gold [500,000 plus copies] but none were great albums. It's the song selection that is why.

Compare the songs on the first album, Idlewild South, Eat A Peach and Brothers and Sisters! The writing and covers are much better. All the band's best and most classic songs come from 1969 to 1973.

But there are good songs such as High Falls, Crazy Love, Good Clean Fun, Seven Turns, True Gravity, Kinda Bird, No One To Run With, Firing Line etc after 1973 but to me, none match the great songs such as Whipping Post, Dreams, Midnight Rider, Liz Reed, Blue Sky, Melissa, Ain't Waisting Time No More, Jessica , Ramblin' Man, Southbound etc.

I was always hoping the song writing would return to the 1969 to 1973 period and another album after Hitting The Note would be recorded. But it didn't.

Still all the band's albums have some good songs including the Arista albums. But even the Stones never had a Honky Tonk Woman or Paint It Black on their later albums so its likely a hard thing to do.

Here's a version with Gregg taking a verse:

Here it is with Warren & Dickey in '96 at 35:30

Interesting at 1:39:00 Dickey & Warren play the "Let's Get Together" melody in the middle of "I Know I Outta Leave".

That version being recorded from Mike Gordon's Rising Low documentary. Alas, the scene cuts before Gregg's vocal comes in, but I have some foggy memory of seeing it elsewhere once upon a time. Not sure if there was a bonus DVD disc or something.

Another nice moment from that documentary:

Agree. Gregg sang this the first time they did it on 4/22/95 in Louisville. I thought it was fantastic. Warren changed the words slightly from "So I started drinking whiskey" to "So i started doing more than drinking".

4/22/95 is a top 5 ABB show for me. If anyone has a good copy of that show, please pm me...
