Nam 69 in the hut with the hooch. Long pipe and fire this song turned up. The rest of the Joes ripping & ripped. We didn’t know if tomorrow would come. I remember once a prisoner heard this kept he pointing at the speakers smiling and nodding his head in approval. Let me tell you hearing their (ABB)first album under those circumstances over there with my boys. Even for a few minutes I was able to get away from all the stuff going on there. Strange thing is 69 was my second tour. Did one more then came home. I’ve had enough. God Bless America. God Bless ABB. No more war. Heal Mother Earth.

Incredible amount of talent on that stage. My favorite Brothers' tune. Dickie Betts wrote it, and plays some tasty leads, but watching this live version with Butch and Jaimoe duelling on drums, Berry Oakley thumping that bass, Gregg with his eyes shut tight, so focused before the booze and drugs took their toll, and especially seeing Duane soloing so effortlessly, with that rich lyrical tone, just brings me to tears. RIP Skydog- you were a wonder to behold.

Was fortunate enough to seethe original line up on Steel Pier, Atlantic City, summer 1970. Walked right up to the low stage hour before the show, stood literally within arms reach of Duane.

Never seen anything like it, never will again. The absolute pinnacle

this could only come out of the US, it's real American music

This song here is all you need to know at to why they hated being called a southern rock band. These guys were on a plain no one else was occupying. Simply incredible the music they made. This song is all derived from a single tombstone. Wow.

@johnfrancis6746

3 жыл бұрын

A very good point - this is a departure from the Blues and Country modalities where I'd locate 'Jessica' etc. Commentators have pointed out that ABB trailblazed the Southern Rock genre, so I think it really was theirs to mess with as they wanted! I'd argue that they were on a plain that others were exploring though - this tune, and its structure, shares elements of what other extended bands were playing at the time - Santana, The Mothers of Invention, The Grateful Dead - harmonically, musically, it sits alongside what those guys were doing. In that they were stretching the boundaries of the blues/country safe place they knew, this tune involves risks for the soloists, and I think that Duane and Gregg were more able to find their way round the changes than Dickie, at this point. Dickie's best stuff is in his flowing, [often minorised blues] that you get in 'Jessica' and so forth - at that point, he really sings, and I have found comparison with Jerry Garcia's playing then. I used to spin ABB 'Live at Filmore' and Dead's 'Live Dead', alongside one and other of an afternoon. Heady stuff - and 8 great sides. Oh, and of course 'Eleanor Rigby' was inspired by a gravestone too - I wonder if there are more....

Two lead guitarists of that caliber who could both go off in different directions in the same song on leads for 20+ minutes at a time, and then round it up and bring it back home flawlessly for that big ABB finish. Those two playing together in the same band just really wasn't fair to other bands of the day.

My God! This was them at their purist. Dickie healthy and playing so strong. Barry putting down the base line for everyone to spring off from. JJ and Butch!! JJ the man who introduced them to jazz riffs and the masters. I just loved watching Butch snap his head as he came around the kit on this song. And that Hammond B3, Greg could send you on a carpet ride. And of course the master Duane. Leading like Duke Ellington and playing with such soothing calm and then blazing with the intensity few if any will ever replicate. There are about a dozen songs in particular that I always have to pick my chin up off the floor after hearing his section. I spent a summer (73) following them on tour and never regretted the time, money and effort it required to get to the next site and score tickets. Thanks to some Deadheads who were touring some with the Brothers that summer. They helped at times in several ways. Long live the Brothers.

I never got to see them live. But, I can listen to them anytime. One of the absolute top five bands of all times.

Remember Duane and Gregg Allman.

Anyone that’s comes across this in 2024 I hope you realize what magic you are witnessing. These guys were on a different plain of musical talent. And you will never see it again.

Most of the southern bands dedicated their albums to Duane Allman. So, not much. That first original Captain Beyond album was a dedication to Duane and it set my turn table ablaze many times. The death of Duane Allman though tragic set the south on fire with lots of wonderful power bands.

Damn how i miss this sheer musical interaction these days. Derek and Warren carried the legacy on, but sadly it was discontinued. Allman Bros Band forever.

You can not beat 2 guitarist that can lead at any given time , and work together! Plus this is a band that is in sync!

I was at this concert. My first concert with my future wife. Albert King, sha na na, the Byrds, Van Morrison, and Albert King.

I didn’t realize the ABB was technical (not at all saying they’re bad, they’re great) I thought their magic was due to feel. I thought that cream would be considered more technical (not better). What’s technical? The chords/harmony? Scales? I’m not too much of a technical guy so Idk

Six legends, five gone. Only Jaimoe (The black drummer, as well as the Allman Brothers Band's original drummer) is still with us. Duane and Berry died in motorcycle accidents, Gregg and Dickey died of cancer, and Virgil (the white drummer) committed suicide.

The man who left a gaping hole in millions of people's hearts and souls. But left us with so much to remember him by.

This song and this band will be the yardstick that jam bands are measured by forevermore. All hail Allman Brothers Band.
