OMG! Thank you so much for posting; Duane was alive then! Video is awesome! God rest his soul. I remember just where I was when I heard of his passing. One of the great guitarists of our time who left us *way* too soon.
I've heard a lot of the greats. I'm what you'd you consider old school. There are so many great guitarists but you have to ask you self what really moves you, that's what it's all about. And nobody has ever moved me like Duane. Just simply the best. The timing, bending of notes, tone, feeling, just extraordinary. And just 25 when he left us. Hendrix is superb as a lot of others, but Duane for me is the best I've ever heard.
"Two Guns-Balls Out" was another talented band in the 70's that was signed to Capricorn Records. Check out their music on youtube it is a sound of its own and considered a southern rock n roll classic!!!
... Hung around w/them during the 'Jimmy Carter' tour when they donated all and I mean ALL! money to Carter's campaign for Prez... No Duane, No Berry but a trip and 1/2... I called it quits in Chicago...-:)
Saw these guys for the first time at Fillmore East when I was in high school. Twice more after Duane died at RFK Stadium (Washington DC). Both times the stadium was sold out. Both time these guys were the headliners. Both times the Grateful Dead played warm up!
i need help, my aunt use to listen to a song all the time and i dont know the name of it it went some thing like when i die 23 wil you burry me in the sunshine oh wont you say that ur still mine or something like that

Greatest memories...hanging out in Lloyd's basement in high school, while Lloyd's band jammed out IN MEMORY OF ELIZABETH REED...Drinking Molson Goldern Ale, smoking Old Gold cigarettes, feeling cooler than cool.
Got dang!!! Dickey Betts is the Betts! (Had to use that pun). Seriously, the Fillmore concert with the original Allman Brothers Band has to stand out as one of the best Rock performances ever, regardless of the really poor video.
I have been listening to the Allman Brothers since 1972 because my oldest brother turned me on to them when I was 11. I never needed to see Duane Allman play cause I could see him through his playing. But here we are 40 years later and i am seeing him play maybe for the first time and its so strange to watch him. I play guitar and my tone and style is influenced by him I even play to AB backing tracks I have and he has been a huge part of why I play now for 25+ years..
But let me tell you the Grateful Dead sure threw a good party down @ Laguna Seca Daze , and the Allman Brothers jammed wayyy pasy midnite . 1993 ...great time for all .
This has to be a recording from right before Duane Allman or Berry Oakley's motorcycle accident. I don't remember who went first but I do remember the accidents were about a year apart and very close in proximity to each other. I never considered them to be country though now I see that a little. I always thought of them as a soul and blues band. So much feeling in their music.
@JOHNHOF1 This was recorded 13 months BEFORE Duane Allman was killed on a motorcycle in Macon, Ga and Berry Oakely was killed in another motorcycle accident about 13 months later just blocks from where Duane Allman was killed. Only three members of this band are with it today. 11 years ago Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks and Jaimoe voted out the guitar player who plays the first solo (the guitar solo before Gregg's organ solo) and wrote the song for being mean, a drunk and dangerous.
@boblackey1 Wait, I dont get the last bit of your comment: "he guitar player who plays the first solo (the guitar solo before Gregg's organ solo) and wrote the song for being mean, a drunk and dangerous."
@joshua9312 You don't get it? There are only three members of the Allman Brothers left in the band. Duane Allman was killed in 1971. Berry Oakely was killed in 1972. The guitar player who playes the FIRST solo on Liz Reed and also wrote the song was voted out of the band by Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks and Jaimoe in 2000 for being a drunk, mean and dangerous. The name is Dickey Betts who was the fourth man to join behind Duane, Jaimoe and Oakely. Butch Trucks was fifth to join and Gregg was last.
@boblackey1 I dont know about Gregg being the last to join the band...but, what you said earlier didnt make sense. You wrote it as if, Liz Reed was written because Dickie "was being mean, a drunk and dangerous". Also, I know about the history of the band.
@joshua9312 It was Phil Walden's (former manager of Otis Redding) idea to put the band together. Walden had bought Duane Allman's contract from Jerry Wexler of Atlantic Records. Walden hooked Duane up with Otis' drummer Jaimoe. That's two. Next Duane wanted the bass player from Second Coming, Berry Oakely. Oakely agreed (that's three) but wanted to work a notice with that band and talked Duane into also taking Betts (four). Betts&Oakely convinced Duane they needed a rock drummer to play with..
I;m sorry to say this as a So. Cal. surfer idiot, "But can you say the greatest band of all blanking-time? I may not be a Georgia red-neck, but this is stunning greatness! Long-live Duane et-al!
Too bad this is a mono recording as I am cranking thru the headphones. Hard to believe they were only in their early 20's. I'll be listening to this and The Beatles on my deathbed IPod. Betts is dressed like a college student, the opposite of Duane.
Totally vintage Rock at it's best. You can't get any better than this, yes theres different styles different rythms but when you get can cross over into something of a cross between jazz and rock daaaaaaaamn. That's good!
this band has got to be the one band ever to experience such tragedy..losing Dwayne and then Butch was too much to handle for me anyway...I missed this concert at the Fillmore and that's one I regret cause I went there a lot.
@conwaycameron91 I wasn't trying to troll really, and I apologize if it comes off that way. I love the Allmans to death or else I wouldn't be watching this video. But the jam scene is alive and thriving with a lot of fantastic new music. There are plenty of new bands melding all different styles of music and it's incredibly beautiful. Yes, we'll never see this same band again, but there's so much more out there going on right now!

How come Butch Trucks NEVER is mentioned as one of the greatest rock drummers ever? His stamina, stability, and flavor even to this day are all incredible!
This music goes everywhere and anywhere and also, it takes two drummers to hold it in the groove as it takes you for a ride to the otherside. Hold On !
@ryanhashton@ryanhashton Love the A Brothers, but have you ever Heard Frank Zappa and his Jams? Nobody is tighter than him and the Mothers of Invention
i ask myself 2 things: why in the hell did duane allman have to die????? such a talented guitarist who had a great style and who also played with imagination. secondly, how come there hasn't been any official dvd release of his life and career with some career highlights? it's high time there was one a documentary on duane allman, long overdue
I am most knocked out by Duanes command of the guitar.He's so expressive,intense.his musical vocabulary is immence,so much memory, of an abstract thing"music",for guitar playing does not occur in nature.This is incredible mind development,profound skills indeed,Theyr'e so many things that occured to give us Duane Allmans magic sounds.I'm very grateful for that,ABB have enhanced my life,thank you to all ppl involved.May God Bless All of You!
When two great guitarist take a walk at Rosehill and both end up at Elizabeth Reed's memorial site you know something special occured for this remarkable song to become the end result. Just consider the influences Duane and Dickey were under at the time including Duane's reverence for Jazz which is the essential structure of this song all the while being fully originating from Macon. Long live the spirit of these guys and maybe lets just Eat A Peach for a Brother! Thanks
@Rainedshadow I'm an old guy (64) and saw the original band many times. Back then the story was Dickey was the one who was writing at the Liz Reed grave site a song for a girl he was seeing who actually was Boz Scaggs girl, but Dickey would see her on the sly. Dickey wrote the song for her but couldn't name it for her as Boz Scaggs would put 2 and 2 together. So he took the name from the gravestone. Then Duane let the cat out of the bag in Rolling Stone, said Dickey f***** a girl on that stone.
Coincidentally, today New York Times Online has a story about Phish's show last weekend at Watkins Glen, and it compares it to the '73 Dead/Allman show there.
Made it to the '73 show. Not a great festival as they go, but ran into a lot of buddies, which was fun. One was driving around in a big convertable. He said a stranger had given it to him about an hour before on the condition that he give it to someone else when he got tired of it.
@Spiglass Have you even notice how todays version of the ABB with Warren, Derek and Otiel is NOT in the same league with the original band. There are several reasons WHY the original band is way better that what we have today as the ABB. Everytime I think the current version is pretty good then I listen to something like Fillmore East, the current version almost sucks. And with Gregg, Jaimoe and Butch old like me now and worn out and Duane, Dickey and Oakely gone, I think they sould hang it up.
@boblackey1 Well Bob,you just can't put ANY modern version up against the original in comparison and expect it to measure up to the work of Duane, Dickey, and Berry. I never got to see Duane, but i've seen them with Dickey,Warren , and Allen Woody. No comparison but still a good show. Plus, ABB spawned The Derrick Trucks Band ,DB and Great Southern, and Gov't Mule. Not the same , but still important.. I don't think I want to see them without Dickey,Though.
@TheGonzo63 Well I just read my original post here and I said the current version almost sucks. I must have been in a bad mood reading posts on videos here on YouTube of the current band about how great they are and how it I just don't get it. Have they not listened to just the Fillmore album or the live stuff on Eat a Peach or the Atlanta Pop Festival to see that the original was more together, more energy, more creative and rocked more than today's ABB.
@boblackey1 You're absolutely right. There was no ABB after Duane. There couldn't be. That creative spark and chemistry just wasn't there. By '73 they were missing two core ingredients that made the magic happen. No Jerry, no GD. No John, no Beatles. No Jim, no Doors. Same with these guys. We got lucky with the GD being around long enough for Jerry to get grey and fat. No so with Duane.
@TheGonzo63 I also agree the Warren, Dickey, Woody version was the best other than the original band and even that version is a distant second to the original. Maybe loosing Duane is a big reason they have never sounded as good since. In 1973 the Dickey, Chuck Leavell, Larmar Williams version got real hot but still a distant third to the original. By 1975 they version cooled off and put out the uneven Win, Loose or Draw album and broke up in 1976. The 79 version was hot for awhile too but cooled
Ah, what magnificent memories! I was fortunate enough to have been at the last Fillmore East show opened to the public- late (11:30) show, 6-26-71, and I write this 6-26-11, the 40th anniversary of that magnificent memory. Albert King opened things up followed by The J. Geils Band and then the coup de gras- The Allman Brothers Band! After countless concerts since then, it is still the greatest night of music I have ever experienced. Wail on Brother Duane and Brother Berry, wail on!
@reelfinatic68 you are correct about some of it . it was a grave dickey had sex on i will not mention the name of the girl but she was married to one of the greats from that time .
@agafarmer I've heard the name of the girl too. But most everybody who was following the band then such as me heard the rumor that she was Boz Scaggs girl which is now confirmed. I'm not sure Dickey had sex with her at that grave site. I think he was there writing for her when he came up with this song. He couldn't name it for her as Scaggs would put 2 and 2 together so he used the name on the grave. Later Duane was interviewed in Rolling Stone said Dickey f***** some girl on that grave stone.
@boblackey1 i wasnt following them. i hung around , partied and rode motorcycles with them and other things . i was told he had sex with her you put the name out there i wouldnt out of respeck for boz . i guess dickey is the only one that can say as nobody was in the grave yard that night but them . i never went into the graveyard at night .i would turn down riverside when they went in thru gates that where closed . you know what duane wanted to name the band dont you ? beelzebub .
@agafarmer No I'm not sure if Dickey and this girl (Carmella, isn't that right) had sex that night on Liz Reed's tombstone. Duane Allman said that in Rolling Stone magazine and Dickey did indicate that Duane blew is cover about the song "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed". Also I didn't know about "beelzebub" but I do remember Butch Trucks saying they wanted a name (like Rolling Stones or The Eagles) that had nothing to do with any member of the band but Phil Walden demanded Duane's name be in it.
@boblackey1 i guess we have said enough about this song just to say . they spent to much time in the grave yard for me .lol it is a beautiful grave yard and i have a family in it i just dont think night time is the right time to visit . if you haven't read red dogs book A BOOK OF TAILS you should . he covered the times in macon and on the road in the early years .i have enjoyed talking about these old times with you . brought back a lots of old memories for me .
@vcx9dfne I'd say Garcia's bluegrass playing was way more southern than the Allmans. I wouldn't call Liz Reed southern at all. Other Allman songs perhaps, but there's really nothing southern about this one. A great jam without question, but southern? Not really.Garcia was much more in tune with Flatt and Scruggs than Dwayne or Dickie. I used to go see Warren Haynes in Asheville, NC. I'm pretty sure he'd say the same as regards southern music. Jerry was the one tuning into that.
@Evster2012 All true. The Dead resemble a psychedelic country-rock band, but I never associate them with "southern" in style or sympathy. Country, blue grass, folk -- sure, but not Southern, not in sympathy or mood.
Likewise, I never think of "country" or "folk" or blue grass when I think of the Allmans, but I think "southern" for some reason-- hippie southern, but southern. It's the bluesy feel, the languid jams, Gregg's voice, Gothic organ.
@vcx9dfne True and fairly stated. It's a different sort of "country" lol! And I love that you used the word "languid". Yes, symapthy and mood. Great post! What else can I say? I'm a California born Deadhead who moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains, discovered boild peenuts an sweet tee!! Been all around this world as they say. :D
@vcx9dfne I agree. There's a certain undefinable sensibility. And that is southern. Even their attitude/lifestyle in general is consistent with what their music expresses. Hell, they still call folks brothers and sisters! I never liked the Dead. Their jams bored the hell out of me, and their lyrics are saccharine. Say a prayer for Gregg, he's not feeling too well these days.
@nbe1951 It's a sensibility, yes. The Dead's OK on their own terms. Sort of a joke or trip on country music. The Allmans are serious soul and blues with that wonderful infusion of rock and musicianship. I'm sorry about Gregg. What a voice! And who arranged their songs? Surely Gregg had a hand in it, to his credit.
Great anyone has the last performance of the brothers at Fimore east they were the band that performed there april of 1971 the day after the filmore east closed
Duane and Dick did a nice job of blending lead and rhythm. Trading lead for rhythm. Hard to tell some times who's doing what. That's a tribute to both as guitarists.
If you want a treat, check out the YouTube clip called, Mastermind Behind "Layla" - Tom Dowd. Some of Duane's solo work is isolated in the clip. By the way, Tom Dowd is responsible for many of the Allman Brothers arrangement ideas. They weren't alone -- Clapton wouldn't even go into a studio without Dowd there to guide his ideas into a coherent form. If you get a chance to check out the movie on Dowd's life (where that YouTube clip comes from), your mind will be completely blown.
@elvisatemydonuts How come the current Allman Brothers, hell they been together for 10 years, can't play with this kind of tightness and oneness. Today they sound like three old tired men playing with some kids who are actually into another bag of music. And why can't the current band come up with some new songs that are as magical as this song or Dreams or Jessica or Blue Sky or Mellisa. What in the hell is wrong with them?
@boblackey1 Because the life of the GREATEST guitar GENUIS, was ended on a motrcycle!!.
If you want to whine and complain, go find the truck driver that killed SKYDOG! OR, You could see what their GREAT DNA has "produced"! a.k.a. "The Derek Trucks Band" (Their latest album took home a Grammy!!!)
OR, You can "go find elvis", and he can split a donut with you. To keep your mouth quiet!!
By the way, how many albums have you produced lately?
@0819Marlene I produced a photo album of me, the wife and kids that is interesting. We are all runnin' around naked while listening to Jessica. Well we all know the answer. The current Allman Brothers isn't as creative and as good as the original. Hell to me none of the later lineups were. The early 90's lineup came closest followed by the first couple of years Chuck Leavell and Larmar Williams where in the band. Gregg, Warren, Derek etc just can't write a Liz Reed, Blue Sky or Whiping Post.
@boblackey1 christ you again?? shut the hell up- I got bad news for you,,,skylab crashed,and we aint going back to the moon.....so I guess your going to starve all alone up there.
@boblackey1 Back in the day the songs (Elizabeth Reed, Jessica) were framework for an extended jam. Very true of other bands too, most notably Cream. The trick was to catch them on a gig when they were on. It was transcendent when that happened, but not every gig was that good. I heard Derek play a transcendent gig, and I heard what Duane could have become. Duane was great, but he would have been really extraordinary if he had lived. I will get comments on this, but it's just my opinion.
@loborome Interesting characterization. I'll listen for that.
I heard Derek do stuff at that performance I never heard Duane do (and yes, I saw ABB) I can't describe it. They are (were) both at their best live, and a real groove performance has to be experienced. If you weren't there, well....
Dead guitarists are always the greatest. Jimi, Stevie Ray, Duane, nobody will ever be better than them in some people's eyes. And yet if the pinnacle has already been achieved, why pick up the axe?
@boblackey1 - I hate to say it, but no Tom Dowd means no Allman Brothers magic. The Brothers really relied on Dowd to put their songs together and to bring out the very best in them musically -- that's why they never used another producer as long as Tom was alive. Check out the video clip from the Tom Dowd documentary on YouTube called, "Tom Dowd -- The Language of Music - The Allman Brothers Band" to get it in the Brothers' own words.
You can actually find a photo of the Elizabeth Reid grave site on the net. She was a child when she died. Dickey used to go this cemetery in Macon, GA to write songs. In addition, the original Duane was still alive. Dickey fathered another Duane. Before I die I want to meet Dickey and his son. I love your tribute to Elizabeth. The best duet I have heard in my life. I think this young lady would be very proud. I know I am. God bless you both! I'm crying now.
The Allmans had it all, they said it all. This is Miles Davis' modal jazz on steroids with a blues/rock base. The fusion of sounds is epic--twin percussion, hammond b-3, and two of the finest guitarists in blues-rock-jazz history. This represents a peak in the history of American music that probably won't ever be matched.
The Allman Brothers Band in '70 '71 was the premiere rock/blues instrumental group of their era. Their style will never be duplicated or matched by anyone----they were extreamly unique. They created a looping style only matched by some jazz greats like Miles Davis/John Coltrane. During their jams, they would play the same notes over and over but a little differently each time. This opened their ablility to create interesting combinations of notes and melodies for their extended jams.
Yup, exactly. Keith was really a stone-cold rocker, though. He used to practice on my girlfriend's upright in Oakland. (He was between pianos at the time.)
You know the honky-tonk piano solo in "One More Saturday Night" on Europe '72? That sound is really where he lived. Syncopated, soulful house-rocking boogie a la contemporaries Leon Russell, Billy Preston, and Lee Michaels.
its funny how, in the day when Live album was the death knell of most bands, it took Live at Fillmore East to propel these guys to superstardom.
The record company didn;t want to release a live album for fear that it might signal their demise. And it was this album that propelled the to Rock gods. I still have this on reel to reel lol
OMG! Thank you so much for posting; Duane was alive then! Video is awesome! God rest his soul. I remember just where I was when I heard of his passing. One of the great guitarists of our time who left us *way* too soon.

When two great guitarist take a walk at Rosehill and both end up at Elizabeth Reed's memorial site you know something special occured for this remarkable song to become the end result. Just consider the influences Duane and Dickey were under at the time including Duane's reverence for Jazz which is the essential structure of this song all the while being fully originating from Macon. Long live the spirit of these guys and maybe lets just Eat A Peach for a Brother! Thanks

@Rainedshadow I'm an old guy (64) and saw the original band many times. Back then the story was Dickey was the one who was writing at the Liz Reed grave site a song for a girl he was seeing who actually was Boz Scaggs girl, but Dickey would see her on the sly. Dickey wrote the song for her but couldn't name it for her as Boz Scaggs would put 2 and 2 together. So he took the name from the gravestone. Then Duane let the cat out of the bag in Rolling Stone, said Dickey f***** a girl on that stone.

@Spiglass Have you even notice how todays version of the ABB with Warren, Derek and Otiel is NOT in the same league with the original band. There are several reasons WHY the original band is way better that what we have today as the ABB. Everytime I think the current version is pretty good then I listen to something like Fillmore East, the current version almost sucks. And with Gregg, Jaimoe and Butch old like me now and worn out and Duane, Dickey and Oakely gone, I think they sould hang it up.
boblackey1 6 months ago
@boblackey1 Well Bob,you just can't put ANY modern version up against the original in comparison and expect it to measure up to the work of Duane, Dickey, and Berry. I never got to see Duane, but i've seen them with Dickey,Warren , and Allen Woody. No comparison but still a good show. Plus, ABB spawned The Derrick Trucks Band ,DB and Great Southern, and Gov't Mule. Not the same , but still important.. I don't think I want to see them without Dickey,Though.
TheGonzo63 6 months ago
@TheGonzo63 Well I just read my original post here and I said the current version almost sucks. I must have been in a bad mood reading posts on videos here on YouTube of the current band about how great they are and how it I just don't get it. Have they not listened to just the Fillmore album or the live stuff on Eat a Peach or the Atlanta Pop Festival to see that the original was more together, more energy, more creative and rocked more than today's ABB.
boblackey1 6 months ago
@boblackey1 You're absolutely right. There was no ABB after Duane. There couldn't be. That creative spark and chemistry just wasn't there. By '73 they were missing two core ingredients that made the magic happen. No Jerry, no GD. No John, no Beatles. No Jim, no Doors. Same with these guys. We got lucky with the GD being around long enough for Jerry to get grey and fat. No so with Duane.
ichupichu 6 months ago
@TheGonzo63 I also agree the Warren, Dickey, Woody version was the best other than the original band and even that version is a distant second to the original. Maybe loosing Duane is a big reason they have never sounded as good since. In 1973 the Dickey, Chuck Leavell, Larmar Williams version got real hot but still a distant third to the original. By 1975 they version cooled off and put out the uneven Win, Loose or Draw album and broke up in 1976. The 79 version was hot for awhile too but cooled

I was fortunate enough to have been at the last Fillmore East show opened to the public- late (11:30) show, 6-26-71, and I write this 6-26-11, the 40th anniversary of that magnificent memory. Albert King opened things up followed by The J. Geils Band and then the coup de gras- The Allman Brothers Band! After countless concerts since then, it is still the greatest night of music I have ever experienced. Wail on Brother Duane and Brother Berry, wail on!

@agafarmer I've heard the name of the girl too. But most everybody who was following the band then such as me heard the rumor that she was Boz Scaggs girl which is now confirmed. I'm not sure Dickey had sex with her at that grave site. I think he was there writing for her when he came up with this song. He couldn't name it for her as Scaggs would put 2 and 2 together so he used the name on the grave. Later Duane was interviewed in Rolling Stone said Dickey f***** some girl on that grave stone.
boblackey1 6 months ago
@boblackey1 i wasnt following them. i hung around , partied and rode motorcycles with them and other things . i was told he had sex with her you put the name out there i wouldnt out of respeck for boz . i guess dickey is the only one that can say as nobody was in the grave yard that night but them . i never went into the graveyard at night .i would turn down riverside when they went in thru gates that where closed . you know what duane wanted to name the band dont you ? beelzebub .
agafarmer 6 months ago
@agafarmer No I'm not sure if Dickey and this girl (Carmella, isn't that right) had sex that night on Liz Reed's tombstone. Duane Allman said that in Rolling Stone magazine and Dickey did indicate that Duane blew is cover about the song "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed". Also I didn't know about "beelzebub" but I do remember Butch Trucks saying they wanted a name (like Rolling Stones or The Eagles) that had nothing to do with any member of the band but Phil Walden demanded Duane's name be in it.

@vcx9dfne I'd say Garcia's bluegrass playing was way more southern than the Allmans. I wouldn't call Liz Reed southern at all. Other Allman songs perhaps, but there's really nothing southern about this one. A great jam without question, but southern? Not really.Garcia was much more in tune with Flatt and Scruggs than Dwayne or Dickie. I used to go see Warren Haynes in Asheville, NC. I'm pretty sure he'd say the same as regards southern music. Jerry was the one tuning into that.
Evster2012 3 months ago
@Evster2012 All true. The Dead resemble a psychedelic country-rock band, but I never associate them with "southern" in style or sympathy. Country, blue grass, folk -- sure, but not Southern, not in sympathy or mood.
Likewise, I never think of "country" or "folk" or blue grass when I think of the Allmans, but I think "southern" for some reason-- hippie southern, but southern. It's the bluesy feel, the languid jams, Gregg's voice, Gothic organ.

@vcx9dfne I agree. There's a certain undefinable sensibility. And that is southern. Even their attitude/lifestyle in general is consistent with what their music expresses. Hell, they still call folks brothers and sisters! I never liked the Dead. Their jams bored the hell out of me, and their lyrics are saccharine. Say a prayer for Gregg, he's not feeling too well these days.

@nbe1951 It's a sensibility, yes. The Dead's OK on their own terms. Sort of a joke or trip on country music.

Surely Gregg had a hand in it, to his credit.

If you want a treat, check out the YouTube clip called, Mastermind Behind "Layla" - Tom Dowd. Some of Duane's solo work is isolated in the clip. By the way, Tom Dowd is responsible for many of the Allman Brothers arrangement ideas. They weren't alone -- Clapton wouldn't even go into a studio without Dowd there to guide his ideas into a coherent form. If you get a chance to check out the movie on Dowd's life (where that YouTube clip comes from), your mind will be completely blown.

The early 90's lineup came closest followed by the first couple of years Chuck Leavell and Larmar Williams where in the band.

@boblackey1 Back in the day the songs (Elizabeth Reed, Jessica) were framework for an extended jam. Very true of other bands too, most notably Cream. The trick was to catch them on a gig when they were on. It was transcendent when that happened, but not every gig was that good. I heard Derek play a transcendent gig, and I heard what Duane could have become. Duane was great, but he would have been really extraordinary if he had lived. I will get comments on this, but it's just my opinion.

@loborome Interesting characterization. I'll listen for that.
I heard Derek do stuff at that performance I never heard Duane do (and yes, I saw ABB) I can't describe it. They are (were) both at their best live, and a real groove performance has to be experienced. If you weren't there, well....
Dead guitarists are always the greatest. Jimi, Stevie Ray, Duane, nobody will ever be better than them in some people's eyes. And yet if the pinnacle has already been achieved, why pick up the axe?
msspi764 7 months ago
@boblackey1 - I hate to say it, but no Tom Dowd means no Allman Brothers magic. The Brothers really relied on Dowd to put their songs together and to bring out the very best in them musically -- that's why they never used another producer as long as Tom was alive. Check out the video clip from the Tom Dowd documentary on YouTube called, "Tom Dowd -- The Language of Music - The Allman Brothers Band" to get it in the Brothers' own words.

You can actually find a photo of the Elizabeth Reid grave site on the net. She was a child when she died. Dickey used to go this cemetery in Macon, GA to write songs. In addition, the original Duane was still alive. Dickey fathered another Duane. Before I die I want to meet Dickey and his son. I love your tribute to Elizabeth. The best duet I have heard in my life. I think this young lady would be very proud. I know I am. God bless you both! I'm crying now.

The Allmans had it all, they said it all. This is Miles Davis' modal jazz on steroids with a blues/rock base. The fusion of sounds is epic--twin percussion, hammond b-3, and two of the finest guitarists in blues-rock-jazz history. This represents a peak in the history of American music that probably won't ever be matched.

The Allman Brothers Band in '70 '71 was the premiere rock/blues instrumental group of their era. Their style will never be duplicated or matched by anyone----they were extreamly unique. They created a looping style only matched by some jazz greats like Miles Davis/John Coltrane. During their jams, they would play the same notes over and over but a little differently each time. This opened their ablility to create interesting combinations of notes and melodies for their extended jams.

Yup, exactly. Keith was really a stone-cold rocker, though. He used to practice on my girlfriend's upright in Oakland. (He was between pianos at the time.)
You know the honky-tonk piano solo in "One More Saturday Night" on Europe '72? That sound is really where he lived. Syncopated, soulful house-rocking boogie a la contemporaries Leon Russell, Billy Preston, and Lee Michaels.
Too much fun!
