someone said music is what words want to be. no one could communicate like Duane. He never sounds dated. The great American Band. It's hard to listen to most of the new music when you have heard this.
Unbelievable, like a fuckin orchestra. DA is perfection...together the band is a masterpiece. At 2:16 to 2:30 are those just hammer/pulloffs? Hes muting or maybe tapping with his right hand?
i think this song would have not sounded so good without dicky! i mean i love duanne and dickky but man all im hearing is good dicky, minus the great duanne lead for 1min or so ?
Awesome footage. So, so glad that I saw them at A Warehouse in New Orleans while Duane was still with us. Shit. I was only 16 then but my date and I loved it.
Whenever I hear Mountain Jam I always associate it with the inside cover of Eat a Peach. It's been a long long time since I have seen the inside cover but it always becomes clear in my head like I was staring at it whenever I hear DA sliding away...
Thanks for posting a great version of this song - for years I had only heard the version on Eat a Peach and I was so happy when I found this about a year ago.
DAs playing is especially soulful and comes deep from his soul... his playing is so intense yet soothing with such a gentle feel to it....really indescribable in words but the way it makes your soul stir is undeniable...
@Domdalom You described the indescribable so well. Try as I might, I can't find anyone else who can begin to compare - such a powerhouse of a band, and such gentle soul-stirring music. . DA once said that making a record was really a gift of love from the artist - you can't help but feel it, especially in these live recordings.
It is easy to see that some of ''owlsley's finest'' made the trip across the country and wound up down in macon georgia because these cat's were as psychadelic as it can be. I have always said that i would have rather been at the fillmore east to catch the double billing of the grateful dead and allmans each time they played together than to be at woodstock. The '73 shows at R.F.K with the dead and then watkins glen with the dead,the band,and the allmans it does not get any better.thanx owlsley.
I remember exactly where I was 39 years ago when the news came over the WRPI radio that Duane had died. Such a tradegy to pass so young with so much promise. Listen to this and the many other versions I have of this song and you understand the great them laid down by Dickey, who really shines during the Mth Jam, while Duane, the consumate musician, weaves in and around what Dick is doing. Tremendous joy to hear the two come out of Berry's bass solo, trading back and forth and then Duane's.
Holy shit. Could be the best close-up video ever of Duane's magic fingers playing. Thank you! I still miss him as much as the day he died, cutting cheddar cheese on my kitchen sink in New Hampshire when the news came over the radio, thirty-nine years, I've never gotten over it. I've been listening to rock since 1954, beginning with Doo-Wop, and Duane's playing was THE high point. RIP, Skydog.
It is wild how talented Duane was, easily, even by today's 'standards,' whoever they might believe themselves to be. I wonder if those who played with him and saw/heard him during his, (Duane's) lifetime knew how stellar he actually was... he didn't have the flash, appeal or media mechanisms that Hendrix did.
Ode to a a series of true artists...its been 40 years and yea I've been listening to ABB all my life and it still and most likely always will inspire me,Gregg,Dickey and Duane are all true artisans and the best,and yes,to this day,they put the bar pretty high :)
@JimBozeman1956 Open E predominantly (E,B,E,G+,B,E)- although on a couple of occasions he would play in standard - off the top of my head for Dreams, mountain jam.
Hey Bozeman my brotha how does Duane make those high pitch bird like sounds starting at 4:05 through 4:35...Its him cause you can see him doing it off to the side...Ladies and gentlemen The REAL Allman Brothers Band...These guys must be in a state of total musical bliss
Wow, between about 5:30 and 7:00 I thought that at any second Bob Weir was going to break in with "Spanish lady comes to me, she lays on me this rose..."!
Top notch all the way my friend, been listening to these guys most of my life, and their stuff never gets old, as I watch and listen, it warms my heart to know someone cares enough to rework/preserve and share this great body of music with those of us who truly appreciate these guys.
@totallygonegearhead so true. I can't believe Duane has never achieved the kind of worshipdom that jerry garcia or jimi hendrix did. Considering he left us at the ripe old age of 24, he was a true musical sage
THE best song The Allman Brothers ever played and wrote... by far. Trip to this... it's a voyage.... especially The Eat A Peach version. On CD you don't have to flip the tape over which makes it doubley better.
man, i feel like im gonna explode everytime i hear this, does everyone feel the same way???? its just... too god damn good, duane is inspiration incarnated, i dont think there will ever be someone like that again
@ZEBRA2828 -He did ! HE was !The Dude Abides , I wish , Jeff Bridges would produce a Major Motion Picture - and present the Life story of the Brothers, I think Jeff Bridges has the vision & the sense to do it right---
Thank God I discovered this! I have been looking for a video of Duane playing slide for a while and this is the first one I discovered. Does anyone know of any other videos of Duane playing slide guitar?
@Blackface5 Saw one just a few minutes ago of Duane playing Don't Keep Me Wonderin', it was amazing! This stuff should be put together on DVD - it'd sell a million!
Wow! how could anyone do this stuff at 20 something yrs old? You could get lost in these jams.that is what I love About the old Band. F the 2:30 pop songs!
Every article I've ever read on Duane's slide playing has always pointed out that he used the coricidin bottle on his ring finger and damped the strings behind the slide with his middle finger but it's clear in this video that this wasn't the case-- no string muting!
i have met gregg allman and he was cool.....there is good video footage from a concert in georgia...i dont know which one... that has been in storage for years...that may get released...i think its a question of ownership rights...i also attended concerts in the same halls the ABB played in during the year 1970-1971...but i never saw the ABB...
I have to say, Duane would have been as good a slide guitarist as Derek if he had lived longer. This clip shows that clearly with his knowledge over where to each note is and should go. starting from 4:39 on is just magic with his slide playing.
R-U-Nuts??? Where in the world do think Derek learned to play? Dickey taught him! Who do you think he wanted to play like, well you know that, too, RIGHT?
"Derek's really a great talent and super good," but he's been standin' on some tall shoulders his whole life, seein' all the way up to the front to of the line,
from the begining man, ya-know-------
Duane was "THE ORIGINAL!!!!!!" Everybody else came "AFTER." As good as the rest of 'em are, nobody else has that kinda, constant "FIRE!!!"
Dicky didn't teach Derek, Derek learned on his own, listening to records. Duane is great, but he wasn't as technically apt. as Derek is. Duane had the fire, but Derek has it too, and he can keep it going much longer than duane did.
How about you try and calm down also. It's just a simple opinion, and you don't have to jump all over me for it not being like yours.
In 1992 (I think), I was part of a 2-man in Nashville team that refinished a gold top for Derek Trucks. We were told the refinish was a gift from his teacher, who gave us the guitar, DIckey Betts. When aked what he was playing like, the answer was,"sorta like Duane, it's all he wants to know about."
well, I'll be darned. I had assumed that Derek learned most of what he knew from listening to the old record, but I guess I was wrong. Does derek still have this gold top?
Nice work Scotiadave. I saw this back about 1990 but the dubbing was out of sync. You've made it much better. Thank you. We're fortunate to have any film of Duane at all, particularly something this good. Anyone criticizing the quality is missing the point.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
horrible camera work. Why does the viewer need to watch Greg and D. Betts coasting along while Duane A. plays killer slide, and then make the bird sounds. No wonder is was never released, camera work does not do justice to the performance.
there probably is better shots,I put this together from a few sample reels that were obtained by Hophead a few years ago which had no sound. Any view has got to be better than no view. The full reels may see light one day, but until then we'll all have to suffer my "fan" project :) dave
Oh my oh my. I've got pleasant chills and am tearing up. I've loved Duane most of my life. Something about Duane's playing touches me deep inside like nothing else. And to see and hear this treasure, found almost by accident from a Facebook link, is practically a miracle. Long Live Duane.
Duane ROCKS he's just in a groove that no one else gets...i've tried....his guitar and slide are awe inspiring...just beautiful, graceful and enlightening
Duane takes the Coricidin off of his finger and holds it in his left hand. He reaches up near the bridge and holds the bottle against the strings between the pickups.
yeah i can see that but i mean, how is the flicking the strings??? his right hand is on the ffretboard, ...wait, i think i get it jaja, you dont have to pick the strings do you? just slide the slide up and down ...
Same bird chirps as at the end of Layla...yep, that was DA.
Thanks SO much posting the better of these jeweled films...none were more pleased than me to finally get to SEE DA and the band together, whole and happy, doing what they were put on Mother Earth to do, make the greatest Southern Rock/Blues that were and probably ever WILL be created.
just switch to the treble pickup cause it wont work in the neck pickup. take your slide all the way up past the frets to the treble pickup and mess around. youll get the hang of it.
toy was a legend skydog was a legend and I thank who ever floats around in the eternal bliss scotiadave I thank you I thank you I thank you for posting these vids I requested them and you came through now america needs to do the same thing with marijuana reform! Peace out.
This song is so relaxing...its almost good enough to be alive. I love Berry's beginning part. I love the main guitar part. One complaint. Dickey Betts is picking his nose from 0:47-0:52 XD. Rock in Peace Duane and Berry.
I wouldn't say any of those guys are better or worse than each other. It's not a contest. So many great guitarists from 60s, 70s, and even 80s. What happened? People must listen to the radio too much I guess.
this segment of this footage is so insanely beautiful!!! no one will ever touch his angelic grace on slide or straight lead for that matter. end of story. cant find the recorded version of his solo from dont keep me wonder'in as on the anthology where he really soars beyond our scope, after greg says one more time.... the filmore footage dosent capture the same intensity?

Duane takes the Coricidin off of his finger and holds it in his left hand. He reaches up near the bridge and holds the bottle against the strings between the pickups.

yeah i can see that but i mean, how is the flicking the strings??? his right hand is on the ffretboard, ...wait, i think i get it jaja, you dont have to pick the strings do you? just slide the slide up and down ...

Same bird chirps as at the end of Layla...yep, that was DA.
Thanks SO much posting the better of these jeweled films...none were more pleased than me to finally get to SEE DA and the band together, whole and happy, doing what they were put on Mother Earth to do, make the greatest Southern Rock/Blues that were and probably ever WILL be created.

just switch to the treble pickup cause it wont work in the neck pickup. take your slide all the way up past the frets to the treble pickup and mess around. youll get the hang of it.

Duane Allman is one of the greatest guitar players in the world, and the most underrated. Eric Clapton couldnt be a pimple on Duanes' ass.

Toy ...really? Who the hell is Toy Cadwell...if he is seriously being compared to DA i need to do some research!

He was the lead guitarist for The Marshall Tucker Band.
He was a great guy, but Duane does blow him away.. no competition.

saw toy in '81 at the roundup in philly, think he played the entire time with a thumbpick...

Toy and Tommy were both thumb pickers.

This song is so relaxing...its almost good enough to be alive. I love Berry's beginning part. I love the main guitar part. One complaint. Dickey Betts is picking his nose from 0:47-0:52 XD. Rock in Peace Duane and Berry.

This is my favorite part of Mountain Jam, when the guitars come to life after a break...it is downright heavenly and holy...

I wouldn't say any of those guys are better or worse than each other. It's not a contest. So many great guitarists from 60s, 70s, and even 80s. What happened? People must listen to the radio too much I guess.

this segment of this footage is so insanely beautiful!!! no one will ever touch his angelic grace on slide or straight lead for that matter. end of story. cant find the recorded version of his solo from dont keep me wonder'in as on the anthology where he really soars beyond our scope, after greg says one more time.... the filmore footage dosent capture the same intensity?

The theme is "First There is a Mountain" by Donovan, which is a great song itself!

then there is no mountain/
