Duane Allman at the Forest Inn 69 (that's Betts tearing it up on the audio)

[jokkergar]

WAT??? just a clip ?where i can find this full audio ?

[baudster]

This clip is definitely from the Forrest Inn. If you were ever there in those days, you'll instantly recognize it. The brevity of the clip sure leaves you thi

rsting for more, but what a treasure that it even exists!

[rpprice49]

The players on the music on this video are, Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, John Meeks(deceased), Reese Wynans, and Dale Betts if you could hear the whole thing.

[rpprice49]

The music added to the above video was probably played at the Jacksonville colleseum. Alan Facemier is the then manager of The Second Coming and The Load. Duane Allman was jamming with us along with Jaimoe on that night. Alan Facemier is the voice telling the hippies that there is going to be a be in.

As for the person who commented that couldn't we just see Gregg, Gregg was not even in town yet to be in the early jams. Duane was still trying to get him there. Gregg is not in the above video.

[Scotiadave]

@rpprice49 Thanks Richard :) Hope you are well :) Yes , that's Betts playing the lick on the vid above from you guy's tapes - in Hindsight I wish I'd have left the video silent - it's created a fair amount of confusion ..... Have a good one and thanks for all your input with all this stuff Dave

[danogzilla]

and that was dickey!

[danogzilla]

holy shit was he nailing it. the only two other people playing in '69 that i can think of who could hit that lick that hard and sharp were john mcglaughlin and george benson.

[nanceebee42]

To borrow my favorite quote about Duane.....That skinny lizard sure can play!

[MultiShades]

couldn't we just see Greag

[GeorgiaSouthern87]

nobody plays music like north Florida/south Georgia boys

[jf99151]

Damn boy, you heard that badass lick ???

[skjohnstone]

Thanks for posting this! I've been wanting to see a photo of the old Forest Inn.

[allbroskj]

I have an audio tape from that era. Reese is on organ, Berry was not the bass player. They played "Don't Want You No More". The announcer mentions an upcoming Forrest Inn event. From the context, I believe the tape was from somewhere other than the Forrest Inn. Did Second Coming and guests play at the Cedar Hills Armory?

[Scotiadave]

@allbroskj I'll pm you some info

[humanbeing122112]

wow, i would love to have seen this show...

[maxzaxe217]

I seen them in Daytona in about 1966 they were the Allman Joys, then in the Forest Inn days The Second Comeing, so many groups and people would come out and jam anyone remember Larry and The Load, To become Iron Butterfly how Groovy it was baby to be out there for free and getting stoned and hearing the best at their beginnings. Thanks so much,they still play on and always will.

[maxzaxe217]

Thanks for a great memory I seen the Bros,so many times at the Forest Inn those were great times,I had to stop typing for a second kinda teared up thinking about it all. Once again Thank You!!

[willruddock]

I listened to the Allman Brothers Band's entire Fillmore East album at midnight in the New Mexico desert once. An experience I'll never forget. There were even electric lightning storms and shooting stars. And fireworks too! I thought I was on acid! Long live the ABB.

[calerouan]

@willruddock ....hey that must have been a momentous occasion,.....I need a trip to the desert, but being in Virginia, makes it a bit of a hike, well maybe one day

[willruddock]

@calerouan It was momentous. I also had "The Band" and "American Beauty" playing too. Up all night in the New Mexico desert with no one else awake (except for the fireworks guys of course) and then sleeping from 9:00 to 1:00 and having the best Mexican food of my life. That was five years ago but it seems like yesterday. Peace.

[XPIOLT]

Short but sweet!

[gruveking]

That was fucking cool as hell man.

I love Duane.

[AJollyGoodFelon]

blues suck after all these years. the guy should have been a typist. Oh wait they don't allow heroin in the office. wtf just crash into a truck and be a poster boy for the war on drugs.

[k1re33]

Hey man don't talk about Duane that way. He's a god to some people including me. And he didnt crash into a truck, he lost control of his bike and it landed on top of him. Watch what you say about people's heros.

[fightingphish72]

Get ur Facts straight !!!

Before u put ur foot IN Ur Mouth

Good Felon

[humanbeing122112]

@AJollyGoodFelon wow, you seem like quite a hurtfull guy... i wonder what could have happened to you, to make you have that type of a repugnant personality... do you have any friends that r real? just wow..you poor guy.. i hope your life gets better..really, good luck dude.

[DrAntonPhibes]

THANK YOU FOR POSTING !!!

[biminitwst]

WOW!!!

I was there, too, but I was just a kid.

I remember the (new) Second Coming, The Wapaho Asprin Company, and the Allman Joys. Good times, good people.

[rpprice49]

Hi, do you have any photos or movie film from those days and the places we played. Thanks, Richard Price

[rpprice49]

Hello, I am the bass player in this 1969 video at the Forrest Inn in Jacksonville, fla. There is no audio in existence. The music you hear is the 1rst version of THE SECOND COMING when Dickey and Berry were still in that band before the ABB was ever formed. Dickey is playing lead on Don't Want You No More. It is from a live recording two mics in front of the band in fla. It is not an ABB band rehearsal. It is a live gig This song was redone when the Abb band did form and made . I was there

[jason4866]

Thanks for setting things straight here.

[badbrian1]

WOW!!

I love these first hand accounts of what went on. Thank you so much for sharing!!

[1tuxedoedlobster]

Then I know you. Nice to see you again, my friend.

[rpprice49]

Hi, what is your real name. Maybe I'll remember you too. Do you have any photos or film video from those days and the places we played? Richard Price

[k1re33]

Yeah and im the saxophaonist.

[calerouan]

@rpprice49 ....I'm with you , the music does not match the video here,...damn good to see Duane's face though,...it must be a good memory for you , having played in a band with the man...

[dare4distance69]

@rpprice49 wow ur so damn good in this vid and nice 2 no ur still around =p

[zimmy81]

@rpprice49 I love first hand info like this, cool of you to say.

[ih8thishit]

This footage was on 8mm film, there was no audio to it, ever. The AUDIO part is supposedly from 3-30-69 but I'm highly suspicious of that early of a date. The ABB didnt play out as a band till later that summer. This vid clip is from the Southern Rock special CMT did, it was kinda lame and mostly a waste of time to a true southern rock fan. There are countless sites and books on the subject. Buy "Skydog" and "Midnight Riders" from Amazon, that should tell you all you need to know.

[BLESSMYBONES]

you are absolutely correct. i swa them in the fall of '69 in Piedmont Park, Atlanta Georgia and i was told that they had only beejamming a couple of months.

[MarshallAmpMan]

do you have more footage on Duane. You need to post the music to this vid because it's obvious what Duane is playing doesn't coincide with the music...the music is actually Dickey...thanks for posting this.

[boxbro]

I've got the 9/23/70 Fillmore East show, "Love Valley" NC 7/17/70 footage and some other rare Duane footage that I just compiled onto a DVD Compilation....

i've got thousands of shows listed on my site...email me if anyone's interested...

[wholeinmytree]

Too bad that I am too young to have seen Duane live, but when he died, my father was thirteen, and so I missed the chance.

[csason]

Happy New Year..thanks for the vid..

[Scotiadave]

happy new year to you too , and .. you're welcome :-) Dave

[Danjd1]

I noticed the CMT in the corner, does country music televsion have the rest of this vid!!

[SCROOBA12345]

the lick is actually Dick Betts work, it's NOT Duane!

[joebrassmonkey]

Good ear my friend. =]

Dicky used that same lick at the filmore show in 71' during "you don't love me" about 10 minutes in.

[SandinDirector]

hey dude what is that song ? answer please

[gloriarfinney]

The Sax player was my father Donn Finney.

[HendrixClaptonSRV]

the lineup here was, duane allman, dickey betts, jaimoe, butch trucks, ritchey on bass, reese on organ.

this is how the guy introduced the band at the 3/30/69 show

from what ive read it was reese wyans on organ. the same reese wynans that played with SRV and Double Trouble.

im not sure who ritchey is tho

[Scotiadave]

Richey is Richard Hombre Price , and he frequents these here parts :-)

[HendrixClaptonSRV]

oh yeah man i think i have seen something about Richard Hombre Price, i wasnt exactly sure though. by the way man i love all those marshall tucker band videos you got, same with the abb ones too

[Scotiadave]

Thanks bro :) Here's hoping no one gets uppety and takes them down like some of the others we've had up. :)

[aarfeld]

Then this is probably the earliest footage taken of the band. Gregg would have been back from California only four days when this was shot, which is why he's probably not yet appearing with the band.

[lpmccook]

@HendrixClaptonSRV yeah he was going to be in it but Gregg already had the keyboard/organ seat filled and of course vocals. So..they let him go but Duane was sad to let him go ,so he recommended him to Boz Scaggs, who needed a band at the time, and the rest is history.

[HendrixClaptonSRV]

oh shit i just realized i got this bootleg

[Scotiadave]

You mean the 3-30-69 tape or the vids?

[HendrixClaptonSRV]

i wish ihad the tape but i have the 3-30-69 audio 7 tracks.

[zeppelin2392]

can you please tell me where you got it lol im dyin for more duane

[Olgatkhlamentofsky]

Oh..it sounds OK..just another typical hillbilly band..In Russia, we have better music than this like Oman tkachenko, sergio ravonowski trio, Dave Edmund Bhlavnokov duet..your duane allman is average and may be below..thank you, Olga.

ps-skyman46, you are wrong..they are average.

[coontardo]

wow they let you listen to music in russia? but hey i guess you have to have some concelation after losing the cold war. duane was one of a kind and has changed rock guitar forever, what have these chumps accomplished

[thestratlars]

I wouldn't worry about what this Rusky thinks about American music. After all, name me ONE well known rock, blues, jazz, country, R&B, etc. that has emerged from Russia. There ain't none!!

[Skyman46]

What are all the comments about??? Has anyone here, listened to Allman Brothers at Filmore East...give me a break, Duane's solos on Liz Reed, Whipping Post and You Don't love me blow this out of the water...Long live the legend of Duane Allman.

[cyrixd]

I didn't discredit any of his other work, I was just wondering if he's ever shuffled this fast elsewhere. The closest I can come up with is SUNY Stonybrook or the Warehouse tapes, but they don't sound like this.

[rampantlion25]

you are right, i listened to them when i was at filmore east, first show they did. and other shows in fla. but it is good to see a bit of the old days still around.

[Skyman46]

Wow, you're very lucky to have actually seen Duane, and the original lineup back then. I was a bit too young then...I wonder if I would've taken him for granted...how was anyone to know that his future was very uncertain :( Thanks

[cyrixd]

I've never heard Duane play so fast... to those who are sure it's him, are there any other recordings where he sounds like this?

[HendrixClaptonSRV]

now that i think about it dickey does a shuffle pretty fast very simliar to that in You Dont Love Me, at the fillmore east. so im thinkin gernblanston1234 is correct, i was wrong. its dickey

[gernblanston1234]

I think it's Dickey Sounds like licks from "You Don't Love Me"

[cyrixd]

Please, please, please post more or direct us to more.

[motthead69]

that was DEFINITELY Duane - the BEST EVER!..

[CadillacL]

Makes you wonder "What if?"

[incongra]

Very very interesting. Thank you.

[TonyJenRock1]

what the heck was that? pretty coolest 15 secs I lived in the last 2 hours!

[Mastas999]

how did u get that that was pretty clear to

[i9d9k99999]

Its weird, the deaths of all the greats is like the suspenseful end to a story and you're just left wondering... like its all planned or something

[MacRaisen]

where was that?

[Scotiadave]

Forest Inn , '69

[CyberAynne]

Great post, thanks!

[doublejay29]

sounds like dickey. it is that lick he does in you dont love me

[EmmoIVF]

I agree; sounds like Dickey.

[Orsino89]

Dickey could not shuffle that fast in 1969. That was Duane.

[HendrixClaptonSRV]

thats so duane.

[eyechord]

isnn't that butch playing bass, second to last shot?

[hotlanta71]

no thats Berry for sure

[DOConROCK1]

R.I.P.~~Duane..... Best slide player, ever!!

[nelsonchump]

RIP SKYDOG!!! WE LOVE YOU!!1

[magicbella]

this music talks to my early days in happiness!

[bloodgrave47]

Hey if this was from the December 1969 concert in Piedmont Park, I was there.

Dick from Atlanta

[Bopalena]

Wow! Wish it was longer! Thanks for posting!

[phloydrix]

man, he looks a lot younger in '69...never seen this long of a video from here, usually only like 2 secs...thanks!

is he playing that fast triplet thingy he always did in '71 (he almost always did it in hot 'lanta, liz reed, and whipping post...and in Hey Jude)

[Scotiadave]

I patched it from a second coming rehearsal tape from 3-30-69, so in answer to your question ..... oh yes :-D

[tornadothrasher]

It kinda sounds like he is using it but he isn't. That's hands down my favorite lick and use it all the time, but every time I do I keep Duane in mind.

[onticbeat]

8P.....Duane Allman Footage!!!

[LinnieXX]

hey nice i never saw this before dave!
