I was 15 & I got picked up hitchhiking by the Allman's road manager & crew in their Winnebago Land Yacht.(one-of-a-kind ride) They dropped us off at Winterland when the Allman Brothers Band opened for The Grateful Dead in San Francisco in 1969. They were both great (Allmans better that night!!!) & The Dead were my religion! The jam at the end of the night was simply amazing!!! Both bands respected and influenced each other and played together every chance they got back in the day.
This is great but not as openly melodic or a musically disciplined as the studio version which is a truly beautiful song that moves me to tears on a bad day and raises my spirits on a good one. Duane was an exceptional player but they were a very tight band who worked hard to develop a unique depth of sound. They listened to each other when they played - so different to many modern, technique addicted musicians who perform for themselves.
The Dead were The Dead and The Allman Bros were The Allman Bros. I'll admit nothing in The Dead's canon catches me like "Blue Sky" or "Jessica." The Dead could be incredible, or they could be one of the worst acts you ever saw. It all depended on what type of night they were having. When they were on, they were on but when they were off.....they were WAY OFF. The Allman Brothers Band on the other hand could go for as long as The Dead and keep it as solid as when they started the song.
@gsupham Your statement shows your ignorance regarding the Dead. Their greatest songs were almost all Garcia/Hunter collaborations and covers were actually pretty rare...maybe one a night if that...in the future, please refrain from commenting on things that you are clueless about.
A wonderful show. Too bad it was not professionally recorded. The mic stowed away in the ceiling does not capture the vocals very well. But just listen to the interplay between Dickey and Duane! just awesome. I have had this in the car for years playing the shit out of it! Can you imagine where they would have taken the solos had Duane lived?

OK, I loved Duane too, and was lucky enough see him, but this is mostly Dickey. Duane starts it off, but Dickey brings it home. It's his riffs and melody, and most importantly his groove through out the whole song, including the solos.
personally i thought duane's blue sky solo here was a lot better than his SUNY one. this one's a lot more concise - went in there and said what needed to be said... for the SUNY blue sky, dickey betts kills that solo. but either way... i fucking love duane allman
@fcbtim I couldn't agree more with you that Duane seems to be "all over the map" in the SUNY solo as compared to this one. But that is the beauty of the Allman Brothers brother, you never knew what you'd get on any given night. It's a shame that so much talent was lost, beyond words that we lost such an artist. How many other bands do you hear playing the same songs so different anymore? This for me is as good as any other solo I've heard, with Fillmore East - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed)
@Bodomchld agreed. i think what you described is part of the charm for the ABB. i'd rather a band be explorative rather than listen to the same version of a song ALL the time. i cant imagine people actually even wanting to play the exact same parts as they always do aka most of modern day bands.
if you want to check out an amazing, nothing-held-back, give-it-all-you-got solo, i think duane's liz reed on filmore east closing night is some of the best soloing i've ever heard. search it on utube
@fcbtim I've heard it many, many times. Many drives home after a long day at work is cured by that solo. What a true gem. If you haven't listened to "Why Does Love Got to be so Sad?" by Derek and the Dominoes, find that on youtube. Duane will give you a little taste of that IMOER solo, but on another level! If you like the "says what needs to be said solo," you'll be blown away by what you hear in the first solo.
Another thing is how sweet the fills & trills Duane adds here while Dickie sings. Note Duane's sensibility w/this song's sound & texture, keeping his solo melodic while still acclimating himself to the dynamics & rhythm of this then new song. As great as this song sounds here, I really believe Duane was just learning how to play it. I also believe this song & it's middle jam would have evolved to sound extraordinarily different over time. O/T, but Duane & Jerry Garcia were true American Masters!
IMO, Duane was just scratching the surface of what this song would have evenutally sounded like had he lived. You can only imagine how the ABB would have evolved over the years. IMO, not only would they have further explored the American Blues catalogue, but I can envision Duane contributing some songwriting and voice, along w/Berry & perhaps an even greater output from Gregg & Dickie. I believe there would have been more rock-n-roll & hallucinogenic material too. Man, what all of us lost!
Sorry, guys, I LOVE the Allman Brothers Band, but the Dead were the greatest American band ever & that's just a fact. The Duane Allman lineup of the ABB wasn't around long enough, & though what they did was truly astounding, it just doesn't match up w/what the Dead accomplished over the decades. So damn unfair about what happened w/Duane & Berry, & artistically, why it happened so early in the game. Still, when you listen to tapes such as this Blue Sky, it drives home how great this band was!
@1jimithing Totally agree. While there are some great concerts by The Dead out there, but I just don't think that they ever quiet reached the heights of the 1970-71 era ABB when the Brothers were hittin' the note. It's a question of jamming ability and interplay between the featured musicians, and the 1970-71 Brothers were the John Coltrane Quartet of rock bands. Kudos to the Dead though for American Beauty and Workingman's Dead studio albums, and decades of fine performances!
@1jimithing Yes! I got into an arguement with a Dead head the other night that was trying to tell me Jerry was better than Duane. I told him that he didn't know his ass from the hole. I could name you 200 better guitarist than Jerry. The Dead had some good tunes, but they're extremely overrated cause they had such a huge following.
@josh1988ist you argued with a deadhead???????? why bother... the sky is yellow and the sun is blue, can't tell them any different.. on the other hand, how can you compare 18 months in the allman brothers with 30 years with the Dead. you are comparing the dead and the allmans, like comparing Bombay and Delhi.
@zummo61 I wasn't comparing The ABB to the Dead. It was more Jerry's guitar playing versus Duane's. Duane was a better guitar player... period. Dickey was better than Jerry.
@JimmyPage97 Overall technique.. plus Duane took slide playing farther than anyone had before him. He set the bar for slide playing. I'm not saying Jerry sucks ass or anything I'm just saying that in my opinion there are 5 guitar players who are qualified to say they're the best of all time. Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, Jimmy Hendrix, SRV, and Eric Clapton. Jerry is not the that tier of guitar players.
@JimmyPage97 Oh my bad I read it wrong. I never said they weren't talented, but everyone in the Allman Brothers were better musicians than anyone in the Grateful Dead. Duane is arguably the best guitar player that ever lived and Dickey's guitar playing is probably the most melodic playing ever. Jerry's guitar playing doesn't compare. Show me a song where Jerry is playing licks like Duane and Dickey are in Hot 'Lanta.. I've yet to hear it.
@josh1988ist Hot Lanta and songs of this type I believe are very "staple" of Allman Bros. But as far as similarities take China Cat Sunflower. The Intro alone should be plenty of allman brother-esk guitar harmony. I'm not truly arguing which is better, this is clearly an opinion. Just to share the opinion that The allman Bros were just as talented as The Dead. Played music just as good as the Dead, and visa versa.
@1jimithing Because, it would be crazy to go and enjoy both of them, as different things, now wouldn't it.
I mean, these guys had enough mutual respect and love of music to have jammed together on several occasions, but for you it's some sort of contest. Good job totally missing the point.
@bthoma1 Yes of course. When something is labeled as an opinion the fact that "everyone has one" is assumed. This was an understood idea when I wrote "in my opinion." But opinions all vary under a very wide spectrum of validity and strength.
@bthoma1 Well we could fall into a endless pit of opinions of an opinion...or we could do what I believe is the correct way to make your statement valid. If you believe that my "opinion has no strength" then you are free to argue your end. You are open to express exactly why this is...
Opinions only have strength when it is provided....
@JimmyPage97 I believe your opinion has no strength because your saying not to argue what someone would have been. I'm saying to do that. Listen to Liz Reed, Push Push album etc. Duane was clearly heading towards Jazz. Also the music that he listened to shows he was heading that way.
@bthoma1 I don't want to sound totally obnoxious but...Try again?
The way I see it:
You said nothing really new in that message. You created a circle argument in the first part. Then you stated your end of the argument (which is cool but was pretty much obvious). And then you gave me links to listen too (which if I listen too is only going to lead to further opinions).
@bthoma1 Uhm I think your taking this too personally. I'm going the root of "explaining a circle argument, and how bthoma1 has utilized it." A Circle argument is a philosophical fallacy in which someone creates an argument in which the conclusion is the derived from assumed reasoning
For example:
"I believe your opinion has no strength because your saying not to argue what someone would have been."
@JimmyPage97 In this statement (which is your assumed argument and logic) you express that MY OPINION is incorrect BECAUSE (I'm) saying not to argue what someone would have been.
The part after the BECAUSE is the reason in which my opinion has no strength. But at the same exact time the part after BECAUSE is also my opinion. Your argument created a circle...which is a bad thing.
@JimmyPage97 how is it off topicwhen it relates to something you said? anyways "I think" I'm done here.. enjoy the music or go else where go listen to some page or something
@bthoma1 Because if the central topic was "Things that JimmyPage97 has said" then we would have years and years of arguing. Way to broad of an issue. But thats cool and all. I just think its ironic that your the on who said my opinion has no strength...
no I think if Duane were alive now he would be like Duane Allman...there IS no one else like him.. Eric basically learned slide from Duane. He was a musical genius up there with Mozart he and Jimi made what rock is today,we learn from them now.
@davisonh1 It is interesting to think what the ABB would be like today if Duane were still alive. They may have broken up years ago. Butch Trucks recently said that in the months just before Duane died, some problems had developed but didn't say what they were. When I watched the original line up, for some reason I always focused on the three on the front line. Duane,Dickey and Oakely. And man could those three lead the band with Gregg, Butch and Jaimoe with the foundation and accents to that.
@davisonh1 But if Duane had lived, who knows. The magical front line was reduced to two when Duane was killed and to just one with Oakely's death. Larmar Williams took over on bass and Chuck Leavell was added on piano to fill Duane's void. But in 2000 they kicked out Dickey. So who knows, they may have kicked out Oakely by now too. But I would guess they wouldn't dare kick out Duane. They would just break up if the others couldn't play with him. They fired Jaimoe in 1980 but he was back in 1986.
@davisonh1 Also as you can hear on this video, NO lineup including the current one (Warren, Derek, Otiel) actually nails that Allman Brothers sound like the original. Indeed, as good as Warren and Derek are, without Dickey, to me, they almost sound like a tribute to the ABB band. Espeically when Warren and Derek throw in obivious Duane and Dickey licks on the old songs. Allen Woody was a big Oakely fan and would sound like Berry at times, but that was cool to me. I liked the Warren/Dickey lineup
These cats were so hip and way ahead of their time, nobody touched them back in the day! Listen to those jazz notes in there, and Berry Oakley is the MAN, he sounds like a 3rd guitar! IMHO the original lineup is perhaps, the greatest rock band to come out of the South and that's really a misnomer because they were a jazz and blues band too... Sadly, we will most likely never see the likes of these guys again(Duane & Berry) in our lifetime, they were truly, "God's Children."
it's like being rocked in my Momma's rocking chair. This is just so awesome. Daune and Dickie and the rest of Brothers are on the mark. Thank you guys for this.
I have the Stony Brook tapes and if anyone would like a copy please leave a post and Ill be happy to share or trade for some other original lineup recordings. It seems like they were on point that night in all facets; best Liz Reed Ive ever heard and best DKMW.
is this right you think? til ~ 3:48 duane ~3:48 harmony til ~ 3:57 dickey til ~ 6:05 harmony ~ 6:20 vocal comes back in btw ~ 5:00 didnt know ronnie wood was in the abb :-) duane and dickey playing blue sky a transition song from soaked in blues to tinged in country dickey was coming to the fore but duane's buy in is 100% you can hear it to say this tape is epic doesnt e-v-e-n come close to an adequate description peace & t/y
@JustAintthatWay You got it right. I remember the original lineup and Duane always went first but not with slide that I can recall. Then they would do the harmony thing in the middle and Dickey would solo until he played the little riff at the end and Duane would jump on it and play it with him starting at the second time Dickey did it, then back to the vocals. It's the same way on the album cut (Eat a Peach). After you've listened to Duane and Dickey together for a few weeks....
@JustAintthatWay it is easy to tell them apart when they solo. Duane and Dickey actually had completely different styles when soloing. Back then it was difficult to decide which one was better with a solo. After several shows it became obvious that they were equals but very different. I know at first listen they sound similar but once you get use to hearing what they do on a solo, suddenly you see their styles and approach were very different. And like Jaimoe and Butch, that makes it better!!
@sacrowley11 I'd have to agree that the greatest incarnation of this song was the Live at S.U.N.Y. sessions now available. Unbelievable and, as nice as this is, far better than any other version. There isn't a lick they don't execute with spell-binding perfection. GET IT !!
imho this solo of Duane's is the best of the three (EAP, Stonybrook, and the Warehouse). This is probably last in terms of fidelity for the recording but I've never heard him play Blue Sky with more pure joy and abandon.
i'm certain we'd all be happier had he lived and turned a new leaf but you gotta admit it-he's probably the truest hippie of that era; at least, the greatest personification of the free-spirited hippie; wild american kid, all about peace, drugged-up, against the grain, and totally in love with the blues. hardly any big-time recognition whatsoever! didn't even want any. played for himself, from his soul.
I started crying right from the beginning of ths song. Then i really tripped at 1:36, when duane reaches that sound that makes me comeback and hear this version almost everyday. For sure the BEST SONG EVER and one of the (if not the) best jams of the planet. I feel sad that i can't really experience this kind of thing LIVE..
@uncasist I have the Stonybrook CD recorded in 1971 and this is NOT a dub of the Blue Sky in it. Both Duane and Dickey play different guitar solos. And Duane's is a bit shorter and Dickey's is a lot shorter. I remember 1971 and saw them do Blue Sky a couple of times. I didn't noticed how different it was for an Allman Brothers song until the Eat a Peach studio version came out. A happy country/jazzy thing that just made you feel good. Different from most songs they had done except Revival.
Good Lord, this song. It's my favorite song from 56 years of listening to rock and roll beginning with doo-wop. The amazing thing is that I've listened to my two favorite versions -- the studio version and the live Stonybrook version (my favorite live version) -- more than 10,000 times between them (not an exaggeration, don't forget it's 39 years since Eat a Peach and I listen to Blue Sky at least once most days) and I never stop loving it. R.I.P., Skydog.
thanks for posting this. I was at the show in NYC on Saturday night and they played a Blue Sky instrumental tribute to Duane... it made my night, I wish I got a video of that
Hey Baron, I just thought of something. Do you think you could post the Stony Brook version of this song, but just Duane's solo? It keeps getting taken off due to copyright infringement, but maybe if you just included the solo it would stay on. The same thing kept happening to Loan Me a Dime, but when just Duane's solo was posted they left it alone. The Stony Brook solo is so incredible, it needs to stay out there. Anyway, thanks again for all your great work on this site.
The version I'm talking about (better than the Warehouse version) is on the Stonybrook Live 9/19/71 CD that you can get from the Hittin the Note website.
@rnross I'd have to agree that the greatest incarnation of this song was the Live at S.U.N.Y. sessions now available. Unbelievable and, as nice as this is, far better than any other version. There isn't a lick they don't execute with spell-binding perfection. GET IT !!
@rnross ... The Hittin' the Note website doesn't have the StonyBrook Album anymore. I used to have it and it's amazing. Might you know where another copy is available?
This isn't the Stonybrook Blue Sky version, which is killer beyond belief and is right up there with my favorite recordings ever. Duane takes over for four minutes at 2:10 and plays from another galaxy before Dickey picks up on lead. RIP, Skydog.
It's really sad to note what might have been with Duane. With every passing year their stuff gets better and better (in comparison w/ a lot of what's out there), and more young'uns realizing what a great legacy these guys have left.... please keep on posting and rocking!
Oops; I apologize. I just listened to the Stonybrook version and this isn't it. I think you have the date wrong, however, because that is the same date as the Stonybrook recording. Anyway, please keep posting if you have more. This is pure gold, especially with Duane.
This was recorded at Stoneybrook College in new York, not The Warehouse in New Orleans. It's a great version, though, and almost exactly like the studio version, even though they didn't have overdubbed acoustic guitar and electric piano.
I was there for this. A year before I graduated from high school. My mother brought me to see them several times. God bless Gloria for enthroning me with the gift of music in my genes! :)
@BrucePetty, you are correct that Duane passed before Eat A Peach was released. His work was still included on the album, and it was dedicated to him ("Dedicated To A Brother"). R.I.P.
@dlm9293 This makes me cry: it speaks to me of hopes and dreams realized and unrealized... what is and what could be. 40 years later are we any better off? Freedom, naive-ness, and the creation of new and deep often must travel together. Keith Jarrett often speaks of being naive of what you are doing.
I sent ya an e-mail. Atlanta international Pop festival. not sure if the cd is still out there, but when you talked about " a stinging slide solo from Duane on "Dont keep me wonderin.....thought i would pass it along. good luck.
Back in the mid-70s, in NY, I found an ABB bootleg that had a version of Blue Sky on it (not this version)....also had an absolutely insane Duane slide on "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'" that I can still hear soaring in my ear today...oh man....does anyone out there have it?....it was recorded somewhere in the south because at one point between tunes you can here Duane say "nothin like a good Southern audience" and someone near the mike says, "nothin like a good Souhtern group"....bless you, Bro's....
Duane, Greg, Berry, Jaomi or whatever, Butch, Chuck, Dicky= magic. I'm seeing the ABB at the end of the month. Sure Duane, Dickey and Berry wont be there but it will be awesome.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Duane is a BMF and I think hes gota slide on his pinky but mostly palying traditional lead. sloves that huh? he was know to do both. and this song was relatively new at this point. I think hes was still trying out what works then, "in comes the peach truck" you know... if you know anything youll know what that means. RIP My freind...
first of all there is no slide, and duane never played slide on his pinky.
2nd, in come the peach truck? what a disrespectful way of putting it (that is of course if you're referring to his death) It was, by the way, a lumber truck if you want to correctly make rude comments about the greatest guitar player who ever walked this planet.
Thank you very much, bthoma1, for posting this. I was at that Warehouse concert many moons ago, and Duane did not use a slide. He had hands that were a gift from God. Anyone who saw him play live will never forget it. When you speak of those hands, you can only compare Duane Allman to people like Heifetz or Rubenstein. Yes, he was that good. And the Allman Brothers Band then were a great band. Nice to hear Berry Oakley on bass again. Have to stop. This Southerner can feel his heart breaking.
there is a difference in Duane Allman and the later Dickey betts, Duane played from the heart .Dickey Betts played like a wonderfrul guitar!!!!!!!

@josh1988ist haha did I say this? What was "totally incorrect in my opinion" was your statement "That JUST makes him the front man..."
They weren't a popular band for their looks.... (I'm trying to say that talent had a very strong input in their popularity)
Hopefully this is clearer?
JimmyPage97 5 months ago
@JimmyPage97 Oh my bad I read it wrong. I never said they weren't talented, but everyone in the Allman Brothers were better musicians than anyone in the Grateful Dead. Duane is arguably the best guitar player that ever lived and Dickey's guitar playing is probably the most melodic playing ever. Jerry's guitar playing doesn't compare. Show me a song where Jerry is playing licks like Duane and Dickey are in Hot 'Lanta.. I've yet to hear it.
josh1988ist 5 months ago
@josh1988ist Hot Lanta and songs of this type I believe are very "staple" of Allman Bros. But as far as similarities take China Cat Sunflower. The Intro alone should be plenty of allman brother-esk guitar harmony. I'm not truly arguing which is better, this is clearly an opinion. Just to share the opinion that The allman Bros were just as talented as The Dead. Played music just as good as the Dead, and visa versa.

@1jimithing Because, it would be crazy to go and enjoy both of them, as different things, now wouldn't it.
I mean, these guys had enough mutual respect and love of music to have jammed together on several occasions, but for you it's some sort of contest. Good job totally missing the point.

@JimmyPage97 exactly IN YOUR OPINION..Everyone has one to each their own
bthoma1 10 months ago
@bthoma1 Yes of course. When something is labeled as an opinion the fact that "everyone has one" is assumed. This was an understood idea when I wrote "in my opinion." But opinions all vary under a very wide spectrum of validity and strength.
JimmyPage97 10 months ago
@JimmyPage97 yes and yours has no strength in my opinion...
bthoma1 10 months ago
@bthoma1 Well we could fall into a endless pit of opinions of an opinion...or we could do what I believe is the correct way to make your statement valid. If you believe that my "opinion has no strength" then you are free to argue your end. You are open to express exactly why this is...
Opinions only have strength when it is provided....
JimmyPage97 10 months ago
@JimmyPage97 I believe your opinion has no strength because your saying not to argue what someone would have been. I'm saying to do that. Listen to Liz Reed, Push Push album etc. Duane was clearly heading towards Jazz. Also the music that he listened to shows he was heading that way.
bthoma1 10 months ago
@bthoma1 I don't want to sound totally obnoxious but...Try again?
The way I see it:
You said nothing really new in that message. You created a circle argument in the first part. Then you stated your end of the argument (which is cool but was pretty much obvious). And then you gave me links to listen too (which if I listen too is only going to lead to further opinions).
JimmyPage97 10 months ago
@JimmyPage97 yo make no sense to me
bthoma1 10 months ago
@bthoma1
"I believe your opinion has no strength because..."
This (imo) sets up for your reasoning. After the "..." should follow the reason why YOU think MY OPINION has no strength. Your follow up:
because..."your saying not to argue what someone would have been" (which IS my opinion)
So what I concluded was this:
"I believe (your saying no to argue what someone would have been) because .... your saying not to argue what someone would have been"
You know where I'm going here?

@JimmyPage97 downtown? No where are you going? Show me the way cause obviously you think you know it all. So please enlighten me oh Page lover
bthoma1 10 months ago
@bthoma1 Uhm I think your taking this too personally. I'm going the root of "explaining a circle argument, and how bthoma1 has utilized it." A Circle argument is a philosophical fallacy in which someone creates an argument in which the conclusion is the derived from assumed reasoning
For example:
"I believe your opinion has no strength because your saying not to argue what someone would have been."
JimmyPage97 10 months ago
@JimmyPage97 In this statement (which is your assumed argument and logic) you express that MY OPINION is incorrect BECAUSE (I'm) saying not to argue what someone would have been.
The part after the BECAUSE is the reason in which my opinion has no strength. But at the same exact time the part after BECAUSE is also my opinion. Your argument created a circle...which is a bad thing.
Am I clear here?
JimmyPage97 10 months ago
@JimmyPage97 how can you try and assume that I'm taking this thing personally? By reading a text? Cause I was unaware that text carried emotion.

davisonh1 11 months ago
@davisonh1 It is interesting to think what the ABB would be like today if Duane were still alive. They may have broken up years ago. Butch Trucks recently said that in the months just before Duane died, some problems had developed but didn't say what they were. When I watched the original line up, for some reason I always focused on the three on the front line. Duane,Dickey and Oakely. And man could those three lead the band with Gregg, Butch and Jaimoe with the foundation and accents to that.
boblackey1 11 months ago
@davisonh1 But if Duane had lived, who knows. The magical front line was reduced to two when Duane was killed and to just one with Oakely's death. Larmar Williams took over on bass and Chuck Leavell was added on piano to fill Duane's void. But in 2000 they kicked out Dickey. So who knows, they may have kicked out Oakely by now too. But I would guess they wouldn't dare kick out Duane. They would just break up if the others couldn't play with him. They fired Jaimoe in 1980 but he was back in 1986.
boblackey1 11 months ago
@davisonh1 Also as you can hear on this video, NO lineup including the current one (Warren, Derek, Otiel) actually nails that Allman Brothers sound like the original. Indeed, as good as Warren and Derek are, without Dickey, to me, they almost sound like a tribute to the ABB band. Espeically when Warren and Derek throw in obivious Duane and Dickey licks on the old songs. Allen Woody was a big Oakely fan and would sound like Berry at times, but that was cool to me. I liked the Warren/Dickey lineup

pawn63295 1 year ago
These cats were so hip and way ahead of their time, nobody touched them back in the day! Listen to those jazz notes in there, and Berry Oakley is the MAN, he sounds like a 3rd guitar! IMHO the original lineup is perhaps, the greatest rock band to come out of the South and that's really a misnomer because they were a jazz and blues band too... Sadly, we will most likely never see the likes of these guys again(Duane & Berry) in our lifetime, they were truly, "God's Children."

JustAintthatWay 1 year ago
@JustAintthatWay You got it right. I remember the original lineup and Duane always went first but not with slide that I can recall. Then they would do the harmony thing in the middle and Dickey would solo until he played the little riff at the end and Duane would jump on it and play it with him starting at the second time Dickey did it, then back to the vocals. It's the same way on the album cut (Eat a Peach). After you've listened to Duane and Dickey together for a few weeks....
boblackey1 11 months ago
@JustAintthatWay it is easy to tell them apart when they solo. Duane and Dickey actually had completely different styles when soloing. Back then it was difficult to decide which one was better with a solo. After several shows it became obvious that they were equals but very different. I know at first listen they sound similar but once you get use to hearing what they do on a solo, suddenly you see their styles and approach were very different. And like Jaimoe and Butch, that makes it better!!

@uncasist I have the Stonybrook CD recorded in 1971 and this is NOT a dub of the Blue Sky in it. Both Duane and Dickey play different guitar solos. And Duane's is a bit shorter and Dickey's is a lot shorter. I remember 1971 and saw them do Blue Sky a couple of times. I didn't noticed how different it was for an Allman Brothers song until the Eat a Peach studio version came out. A happy country/jazzy thing that just made you feel good. Different from most songs they had done except Revival.

Hey Baron, I just thought of something. Do you think you could post the Stony Brook version of this song, but just Duane's solo? It keeps getting taken off due to copyright infringement, but maybe if you just included the solo it would stay on. The same thing kept happening to Loan Me a Dime, but when just Duane's solo was posted they left it alone. The Stony Brook solo is so incredible, it needs to stay out there. Anyway, thanks again for all your great work on this site.

Thank you very much, bthoma1, for posting this. I was at that Warehouse concert many moons ago, and Duane did not use a slide. He had hands that were a gift from God. Anyone who saw him play live will never forget it. When you speak of those hands, you can only compare Duane Allman to people like Heifetz or Rubenstein. Yes, he was that good. And the Allman Brothers Band then were a great band. Nice to hear Berry Oakley on bass again. Have to stop. This Southerner can feel his heart breaking.
