Zappa Plays Zappa (feat. Allan Holdsworth) "Treacherous Cretins"

Interpret this song title as you will.  But, this is some massive guitar jamming here, with Dweezil Zappa and Allan Holdsworth, playing the tune by Dweezil's dad, Frank, called "Treacherous Cretins".  Zappa holds the rhythm, and lets Holdsworth fly on this thing!  A monster track.  From a fan video of a Zappa Plays Zappa performance at the Canyon Club in Agora Hills, California, on February 20th, 2012.

The Allman Brothers Band "One Way Out", Germany, 1991

Today, would mark, the 47th anniversary, of the Allman Brothers Band's founding, in Jacksonville, Florida.  March 26th, 1969, to be exact.  Let us venture, to Germany, and the Ohne Filter Music Pub, circa 1991.  From one of the few (and probably the last), European tour that the Allman Brothers ever did, here is a sizzling version of "One Way Out", with what also sounds, like a tease, of Freddie King's (by way of songwriter, Don Nix), "Going Down", in the middle of it.  Dickey Betts is absolutely on fire, with his gold top Les Paul, plugged into his Soldano SLO 100 amp, running through a  JBL D120F loaded Marshall 4x12 cabinet, for you guitar geeks out there.  This jam, is massive!  Dig it, baby!
