the allman brothers play 'whipping post' at the crossroads guitar festival 2013.

Naturally the whole festival is stacked with top guitar players but here alongside Derek Trucks, Wayne Haynes and Greg Allman are two drummers and a percussionist who absolutely nail this to the Madison Square Garden stage. And goddammit with all these guitar gods around it's really hard to find a name check for them. We'll keep searching and update this post when they're found.
(now we got 'em - BUTCH TRUCKS (drums and tympani), JAIMOE (drums), MARC QUINONES (congas and percussion)
Despite that complaint this version of Whipping Post is one of the best you'll hear, with the sound quality in highest definition. The whole festival with it's monster lineup is out on dvd, blue ray, cd and you can order it from the Eric Clapton website" and no doubt lots of other outlets.
