Allman Brothers Band w/Eric Clapton: "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" Beacon Theater, New York City, March 20th, 2009

Two years ago for their 40th anniversary, the Allman Brothers invited many artists from diverse musical backgrounds to play with them on their songs to celebrate the bands 40th anniversary.  One of those nights featured Eric Clapton and the band (with EC front and center), performed a stunning version of their 1971 jazz fusion opus "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed".  What a remarkable display of virtuosity this song is, and having Clapton take a solo, well, that was icing on the cake.
