I was at this show. I was a regular at the Fillmore East. It was close and tickets were 4 to 5 dollars. We could afford to go every week. I was the right age, in the right place, and got to witness rock and roll history. The legends all played there. The music they gave us is still considered rock and roll gold.

Oh, they missed a lot of notes -- not like I blame them. But when you listen to the complete Fillmore recordings, it's obvious why the versions for the original LP were chosen. For some reason there's a good handful of times Dickey Betts loses the downbeat in his solos. On an outtake of Hot 'Lanta, for instance, he somehow winds up a half-measure ahead of the rest of the band, and it really fucks everyone up.

I'll say it again, Dickey Betts has never gotten the recognition he deserves so much for being a phenomenal guitar player!🍄🍑

Im going down the Allman Bros musical rabbit hole .Duane is the one I’m not yet familiar with (listening). Greg is intriguing.Dickie (his stance and his stern demeanor)scare the $ out of me. Duane-bc of your comment? Looking forward to listening to Duane.

I suspect I'm not alone when I find myself as emotionally gripped by the passion of Dickey Betts guitar work as I am by Duane Allman in this awesome early performance. They were the perfect foil for each others approach , contrasting and distinct in their tone and feel but capable of playing as though of one mind, lost in the melodic but, found in the harmonic, a band in sync but sympathetic to living in the moment. Their music is so compelling, it's complex but accessible, uncompromising but never elitist, an antidote to all that's bland and formuleric in modern music. The Allman Brothers band are inclusive, nurturing the talents of guitarists like Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, and very much a musical family who while carrying the torch within the band have broken new ground in various bands and musical collaborations taking their music to new places and new heights of virtuosity and in the process Inspire a new generation of musicians.

Spontaneous is a fantastic way of describing his playing. It almost feels like a tightrope act all the way through one of his blistering slide solos in a way.

RIP Dickey Saw the ABB many many times over the years and it was always a joyous occasion

The Allman Brothers at the height of their powers. All original lineup in top form. Damn, I regret not being able to see them but when this concert was recorded I was not quite 12 years old. Timeless music that never ages. RIP to the lost boys but their music will never die.

Man duanes first solo in whipping post is epic. I wish he'd have stuck around longer. What an awesome group the Allman brothers were with Duane leading.

Maybe some did it for that reason but we did it because the band onstage couldn't play for shit and we were being assholes about it. Not nice but that's what happened.

Every time I come on any of the old Allman Brothers, with Duane especially, I hit LIKE each time!

Duane and his guitar gave new meaning to the word "sweet". Miss ya, brother.

Back again. It doesn’t get any better than this. The definition of drip. Long Live The Allman Brothers Band!

it is one of the biggest mistakes in rock live recording history lol Gregg was absent for the first half of it because some dude back in the day forgot to turn him up when the band started playing, which leaves us without the vocals by one of the all-time greats for half of this video. Sucks. At least there was some mic bleed so we can at least _just_ hear him. Better than nothing, I guess.

Unlike most kids my age who listen to one song from the 80’s and say they were born in the wrong generation, im just sad I wasn’t born in the 60’s to see the allman brothers work their magic. I grew up on allman brothers, Grateful Dead, fleetwood mac, tedeschi trucks, .38 special, and now, phish. I wish I could see all of these bands before most of them split up or died. I now play the guitar and are learning my childhood songs. Just turned 16 and miss every minute of 5-10 years old. Just some weird facts about me.

"one of..." ? My own faves. Below one comment mentions Peter Green. He founded Fleetwood Mac - if you can get a live recording of FM from the late 60's, Green and Danny Kirwan were great, totally different from the pop band that FM became. I'd also throw the Yardbirds w/ Beck & Page as contenders. But for me, the ABB were (and are still) the best. RIP Butch Trucks - his passing has got me listening, again.

@JohnDoe-wo1jd

***** Allman was never part of derek and dominos band. He was brought in as a recording session guitarist to play on some of the songs, the most noteworthy being the album's title Layla. without Allman the single Layla would have never been a big a hit and legendary. Also the drummer Jim Gordon, the dominos drummer, a classically trained percussionist who came up with the idea and wrote the music for the piano intro(played by Dominos member Bobby whitlock) to introduce the beautiful second half of the Layla song. most of Clapton and Allman jams were recorded but never appeared on Layla, the dominos only album. Allman died in a motorcycle accident about a month after the album layla was released. While with the Allman brothers, Duane did a lot of session work for quite a few singers and bands including playing guitar on Wilson Pickett's version of the Beatles "Hey Jude". it's not unusual for band members to play in recording sessions for other bands and singers. Even in Steely Dan's first album wiz kid guitarist Eliot Randall was brought in the lead on Reeling in the years. Even though the dan had two excellent guitarists in skunk baxter and denny dias. After Steely Dan's first two albums, Fagen and Becker were Steely Dan and used many recording session artists. it didn't Matter because Fagen stopped touring and just concentrated on making albums

I'll vouch for what you're saying as I used to read a lot of R-&-R press, but I don't want to get into one-ups-manship or whatever. I read, a long time ago now, that Duane hung out at the studio where a lot of Atlantic artists recorded (Muscle Shoals? - but wherever Booker T & the MG's were doing session work back then - Steve Cropper loved his playing, Cropper preferred playing rhythm) and was often hired on a song-by-song basis, and in that capacity there's no real way of knowing for sure how many artists he backed up. He is credited as "Donny Allman" on Aretha's "Spirit in the Dark" album. He's also on Laura Nyro's "Christmas and the Beads of Sweat," another great album.
