Good God this is precious video, but it looks like Phil Graham handed a camera to someone who does not understand "where the guitar sounds come from."
Love this song and the vid, but kinda sad that they were so new, the cameraman didn't still didn't know who was who anyone was, or when (or who) to focus on during the leads, etc. Still a great piece of history!
@zazu173 Thom Doucette does some great HARP playing on their earlier stuff. Glad to see some GREAT harmonica playin' along with slide. I think Thom was offered a position in the "Brothers" right after Duanne and Berry left us. I think Chuck Levelle joined in on keys when Doucette declined being a full time member. Read the book "Skydog" and it will fill you in some if you don't already know about it ...
it's almost a criminal shame that this is hardly any exisiting footage of duane allman in the band. what there is great, even though the picture and sound quality are both a bit shit. oh well "sigh"
@LePooperTrooper - i agree, at least there's plenty of his music to enjoy. such a great live performer as well, as proven on the fillmore east concert. an enduring classic!
i agree 100% i need this concert on blue ray i mean (whats the problem legal battles or what ?) shit i think abb could start a fund to get it made( if there not rich enough) us fans would donate a dollar a peice to make it happen if i get a dollar off the cost of the dvd (hence it would be paid for and we get to show and teach our kids this is why daddy plays guitar everynight
please why not ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
@sharplespaul I agree wholeheartedly! I know there is a ton of footage, much of it deteriorating in storage. I - for one, would donate along with other fans to see those jewels come to light!
the Allman Bros are STILL the only band that really matters! if you play guitar and dont feel your music,get into the ABB and you will learn what feelin is all about.
I would like to have a really long serious conversation with the editors of this video....and unless they could prove that at the time they edited this film they were both blind and deaf they should be banished from ever editing anything again. No excuse for that sorry of a job. The greatest slide guitarist in the universe wailing his ass off and we're watching everything BUT that......
I was at the last Fillmore East show on 6-26-71 headlined by The Allman Brothers and they played until 7:00am!!! Smoke that night they did! I saved the ticket stub and I went to the The Big House in Macon, GA back in March where I donated it because I felt it belonged there. After countless concerts since, it was and still is the greatest show I ever attended! Take care of that ticket stub E.J., I know you will! :)
Well said all 'round But I gotta get my licks in too.....I'll skip describing Chuck "Spaceman" Thorndyke's paranoid , Old Mil infused warning as to why we were nuts to harvest what we'd spent most of the l;ate morning/early afternoon combing the acreage off Gunn Highway. Until we hit pay dirt and, after a suitable snack to replenish the stores, I took a look at our Bovine hosts and started what felt like a two-three hour laugh jag.
The Allmans were never quite the same after Duane and Berry passed. In their day, They were the Daddy of all Sourthern Rock Bands! Great video! Even though it misses Duane's solo ride, you still get to hear it again.
don't blame the cameraman, i'm seeing 3 or 4 cameras, blame the dipstick editor who couldn't tell dickey playing chords from duane playing lead slide.
showing the action made it easier for other performers to 'steal their thunder'. there were a lot of performers who didn't want their magic filmed directly.
my six year old daughter loves the allman brothers, she is growing up to this ( the same way i did) and has really good taste in music.. she definitely knows the difference between the "allman brothers" and the "jonas brothers"
(Donna's hubby Rick)enjoyed it -am big AB fan grew up w it. Elizabeth Reed is stilla fave tho' and the" peach album" off course .would love to see them doing Ain't wastin time , still greatful for anything that shows up-bless tose of you who find the material. played hese tunes many times in coverbands
Cleartwater here, this is an amazing song and Duane plays his heart out. I never seen a slide player as good as he became, People say Hendrix is the best, but with his feedback and irrational notes no comparison to Duane Allman. I want to thank musicman5200 for downloading this amazing song. Vietnam was much easier to survive with my Allman Brothers cassette tape. It was very hard to not get it ripped off. The memory still lives and thrives in me. Cleartwater
Hmmm. I'm thinking that the commenter who thinks Billy Gibbons is/was a better Slide Guitar player than Duane Allman was being sarcastic. There simply can not be another explanation for saying something that idiotic other than in a reverse joking way. It's similar to saying that the Monkees were a big musical influence on the Beatles.
At age 12 I was into the Osmand Brothers (don't shoot me yet). I heard on the radio that Duane had died in a motorcycle accident and thought they meant Wayne Osmand. It got me looking into and listening to the Allman Brothers. That's quite a leap for a 12 yo. kid!
@Larrymh07 ...How funny. I grew up down the st from the Ludlow Garage and when the Allmans played their as they often did I thought the radio ads were referring to the Osmands and remember thinking why is Donny Osmand at a rock venue? Even though I had the flyers(and still have a few) in 69 and 70 and could read the correct name it didn't register until I became a fan later in 1970. I do remember exactly where I was when we heard Duane had died. A true loss.
@yippierb Don't keep me wondering is one of my favorite tunes by them, too. I like the shifting tones between the slide guitar and the harmonica. Plus Ludlows is in Cinci. I live up near Cleveland, OH.
Hey, the mix on the Fillmore East album is very good. I think this is either one "side" of a stereo mix, or a monitor mix from stage that had very little vocal or drums. Even with that, thank goodness someone was smart enough to save this film footage.
I just want to know when some one is going to digitally remaster this whole concert at the Fillmore East sound and video and release this to all of us who could not be there or in my case was just too young at the time.If you would like to purchase this in a DVD click the up arrow and maybe we can get somebody who wants to make a dollar to take on this project.....I know I would be in line to buy my copy the day of its release!!
@clemenza24 I'll be right behind you in line ,brother. I wore holes in my copy of the LP and have bought the CD a few times as well . It has been the soundtrack of my life, and I never knew there was film of the show, at least one available to the public.Bill Grahm filmed and recorded every show, and when he died , ONE man bought the whole treasure trove at auction and has released SOME rare gems from other bands of the day.Maybe he'll see this .Hope so!!
I read or heard I cant remember, Jimmy Page said that back in the 70s when Zeppelin would film a lot of the footage was shit and didnt look good because most of the time the camera operators were usually just as messed up as the band was. Im assuming thats the problem here because the camera guys missing everything good.
God, I wish I'd been at these Fillmore East concerts! I've worn out 2 copies of the DVD and still have the LP; thank God for Discwasher! These guys were from the south, but they're really a blues band, and my favorite American band ever.
Hard not to get angry at this video, the guy is listening to some of Duane's best playing & apparently doesn't even know who's playing the solo. Filming Dickie Betts during Duanes solo, zooming on Butch Trucks face, next time give the camera to someone else.
@justchill919 I know .It wasn't Spirit, nor the Grape ,Doors,British psychedelia,Cream or even Jimi so on &so forth.in a way they are just as "cosmic" as the Dead -but with more a destination in mind.if you dig. None of that - but a most unique mix of straight ahead rock & a searing ,mean boogie !Why I took them for granted i'll never know.
I hope that cameraman is homeless and on the streets now. A chance for music history in seeing the slide master Duane Allman at work up close and the airhead with the camera totally screws it up.
the cameraman (?men) may not be to blame. the editor may have been mentally impaired, but they couldnt elimate the audio, thankfully. interesting for butch trucks......
most 60's and 70's film is fuckin ruined by inept or artsy(we were stoned and thought it was cool) camera work. Hell I was stoned and knew better than that...What a shame
cameramen always shock me with how dumb they are, GOOD JOB not showing duane playing anything significant, LETS ZOOM IN ON THE RHYTHM GUITARIST DURING THE LEAD SOLO!! morons
There's always the underlying strong groove. Always. It's the basis of the band. On top, we have Duane and Greg (Greg actually adds the "atmospherics" that make this southern rock band almost Gothic). Betts is mostly part of a four-man rhythm section, but when he plays lead, he punches out a more staccato or hillbilly take on what Duane does as a spacey departure. It's wonderful music, always tight, multi-layered and honest.
In their most exquisite prime...I remember,,,I was there. BUT I dearly, dearly wish the camera had focused on Duane's slidework! (hindsight - who knew what would happen?) RIP Duane and Barry. You are not forgotten.
@signeseeker17 It must of been cool going to the Filmore East back in the day. I grew up in North Wi , and the Filmore was like Yankee stadium to me. That was the place to be for the music...Hendirx, Zappa. Humble Pie. All those bands. You are a very lucky person.
@signeseeker17 Agreed. It is great to see them, but the camera work is amatuerish. Duane gettin off these great solos and you see the harp player. Oh well
,MEANWHILE back at the shack (party HQ for the most arrogant band of consumer rockers in town) Someone was taking the shrinkwrap off the Live album. We played it on (dig this) the Magnavox portable turntable I got with the tax return two years earlier. Didn't matter;. I/we saw smoke as sure as I'm hammering these words out. Memory sucks with the advance of age, but when you're the bass player and your operative age is 19, (as the French say,"PPPHHHHHTTTTTTTTTT!").
(Thanx for the canvas to remember...I apologize for my brains leaking all over the page). Rollin' Stone wrote 'em up in a cool and laudatory (then) piece entitled "Hitting the Note with the ABB". Dixie Greasers, New York Deadheads (of which my cousin Jesse is a lifer) let loose under the benevolent eye of Bill Graham.and ANYONE WITHIN 200MILES WHO HAD A HALF CLUE WHAT THESE CATS WERE ABOUT..
Didn't matter how big or how little the spekers were.. They smoked so hard and deep the only proper forum for a Thomas Mertton-like review was the Polish American Club, St Pete Beach, where my idol, accordionmaster and teacher Angelo P.did his weekly gig. Angelo gave me knowledge which dug under the blues. Any cow will tell ya, "Bell haz tolled, my baby's on that train 'n gone!".It's about roots, guts, and a Craftsman 11/16 socket, glass slide, a Shubb (lapstyle), putting authority on it.

that "rhythm player" is Dickie Betts, who blistered a few solos in his day. After Duane and Berry died, Dickie put the band on his shoulders and carried them. Even before the tragedies he wrote some of the Brothers' best stuff. Thanks for posting this. It's a rare find.
Duane, what more...Duane. What a lucky guy to be able to connect like that. Critics, criticizing anyone associated with ABB, please exit stage left. Just because you can't play doesn't mean you can discern.
guys you all make it sound like ABB is not out there still kicking ass. derek and warren carry on the tradition honorably and duane would be proud. i have nothing to say about disckie though. it's pretty clear he got a raw deal... still.. derek and warren... there aren't 2 better out there right now.
@JZepeach there have been many great slide players: rory gallagher, johnny winter, alan wilson(canned heat), junior brown, jb hutto, elmore james. they are all unique. no one is better than the others. dickey betts was a mean slide player too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@kisuke2891 i think you have it backwards Duane was clearly far superior, much more emotion and technique, Billy is okay.. are you familiar w/ all of Duanes slide work? it is extensive, Gibbons was like most guitarists an "Ocassional slide player" ...
@eyechord I agree....at least in principal. The so called "editor" is actually the criminal here though, not the cameramen. There were several cameras filming because there are so many angles. One camera could not have moved that quickly and from so many different locations. So...somewhere that footage of those rides may actually still exist if it wasn't trashed. It certainly was shot. And like you I would truly love to treat my eyes to what my ears have loved for so very long.....
skiffle lol. yeah maybe training wheels for musicians who are going to play good music instead of your nickelback and other commercial shit like you probably like.
Here's an example of training wheels watch?v=4L5HSHLQaOg&
the kid is better at age 11 than these dead fucks here who gave drugs a bad name by crashing into things. Your heros. You're the one who don't know shit. come on back and I will prove it again.
PEOPLE read the guys page hahaha. ajollygoodfelon is a jollyfuckhead. he posted a breakfast at tiffany's video- voted worst song ever !!! I think the acid and drugs he wants everyone to take has fried his noggin. pot calls kettle black. RIGHT DAVID ?????? So go ahead and post your own rendition of any song covered by the Allman Bros. We all await the chance to make you admit you are FOS. unless you are in with the tossed salad man.
@AJollyGoodFelon I think your just a stupid fool rambling on like you know something about everything. It's been 39 years since Duanne Allman died, but people still know his work and love it, they are inspired by it. You lack logic you just mindlessly type away. What gives you your special musicial insight? I bet you sit alone at your computer with your cock in hand hoping someone might think your insightful,sorry buddy your WRONG
You're a fuckin idiot you know that? You obviously know nothing about music whatsoever. So let me try to explain it to you, even though you still won't get it because... Well you're an idiot. The blues was the basis for all rock, jazz, metal and more styles. Every MUSICIAN knows the blues and respects the blues. Without the blues, there would be no good music, plain and simple. Everyone, especially the pros know that. So next time do your research before you make another dumbass comment.
You repeat what I said, every musician knows the blues. it's the training wheels. Can you not read? Maybe it's time you shut your piehole until you learn to read with some comprehension.
You mean it's the foundation for all music. Now let me get one thing straight: you hate the blues. I disagree 100%. That's ok. A lot of people aren't fans of the blues. I don't have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with is people like you trashing the blues and the people who built it. Like it or hate at least respect it. Respect the people that came before you. And yeah I'm still talkin
Our wannabe music critic felon friend obviously knows very little about the Allmans. Go listen to "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" from this very same show, and then go fuck yourself. The Blues maybe based on simple chord structures, but it is hardly simple music.
Hardly simple to an idiot such as yourself who thinks "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is blues. That's Jazz and they suck at it too I am listening to them fumble around in their crap attempt at playing their own song. Heck they keep repeating their own riffs because their brains are too wiped for jazz too.
Btw, SRV was one if the greatest guitarists of all time. Don't ever talk shit about someone like him unless you can show you're better. When you do that (yeah fucking right hahaha) then I will shut up. Until then keep suckin those dicks. Peace
Saw SRV 5X. Unfreakin believable guitarist. Came out in a head to floor indian feather head dress for an oncore once. No one will ever deny he was the sack. But Duane was his equal and the greatest slide guitarist of all time.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Blues suck, anyone can play it. It's like playing on autopilot. It takes no creativity, the music write's it'self. That's why idiots cling to it. It's all the same fucking song. It's the emperor's clothes of music. Next thing down is childrens nursery music.
No sir you could not be any farther from the truth. Sure any average joe can play a half assed 12 bar blues but it takes real skill to play with the feeling and soul that people like these guys do. Creativity-wise you are also very wrong because all the creative guitarist such as Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix etc. all started with blues because there is so much you can do with it and you can be so creative with it so no, it does not write itself. Please go fuck yourself and stop commenting on videos
No, if they started out playing it, that's because any fucking child can play it. Listen to this shit, it's easy to play as riding a rocking chair. You are all retards. I will comment as I please too. Don't tell me what to do. And btw the comments area is what makes youtube great. My comments are the best thing here. These guys look like they smell like shit and don't care. Your heroes. You are just mad because I am dead on right. Eric Clapton was ok Stevie Ray Vaughn Sucked.
@AJollyGoodFelon your mother sucks..how can you you say shot like this, can you play guitar? what music is good to you Micheal Bolton? Kenny G. List to In Memory of Elizabeth Reid then tell me it can be played by a child ...what a fool.
Yeah I can play any part of this better than any of these drug wiped hepatitus dispensers. :) You'd give me a standing ovation I would say thank you, and I would tell myself what a fucking idiot you are for liking the blues.
WHY oh why do they not show lead guitar solos and show other people's faces instead. Sigh. Almost not footage of Allman exists and most don't actually show his hands lol.
Good God this is precious video, but it looks like Phil Graham handed a camera to someone who does not understand "where the guitar sounds come from."

@clemenza24 I'll be right behind you in line ,brother. I wore holes in my copy of the LP and have bought the CD a few times as well . It has been the soundtrack of my life, and I never knew there was film of the show, at least one available to the public.Bill Grahm filmed and recorded every show, and when he died , ONE man bought the whole treasure trove at auction and has released SOME rare gems from other bands of the day.Maybe he'll see this .Hope so!!

I read or heard I cant remember, Jimmy Page said that back in the 70s when Zeppelin would film a lot of the footage was shit and didnt look good because most of the time the camera operators were usually just as messed up as the band was. Im assuming thats the problem here because the camera guys missing everything good.

God, I wish I'd been at these Fillmore East concerts! I've worn out 2 copies of the DVD and still have the LP; thank God for Discwasher! These guys were from the south, but they're really a blues band, and my favorite American band ever.

This great treasure of video is from September 1970. The "At Fillmore East" album recordings are from March 1971.

Hard not to get angry at this video, the guy is listening to some of Duane's best playing & apparently doesn't even know who's playing the solo. Filming Dickie Betts during Duanes solo, zooming on Butch Trucks face, next time give the camera to someone else.

@justchill919 I know .It wasn't Spirit, nor the Grape ,Doors,British psychedelia,Cream or even Jimi so on &so forth.in a way they are just as "cosmic" as the Dead -but with more a destination in mind.if you dig. None of that - but a most unique mix of straight ahead rock & a searing ,mean boogie !Why I took them for granted i'll never know.

I hope that cameraman is homeless and on the streets now. A chance for music history in seeing the slide master Duane Allman at work up close and the airhead with the camera totally screws it up.

There's always the underlying strong groove. Always. It's the basis of the band. On top, we have Duane and Greg (Greg actually adds the "atmospherics" that make this southern rock band almost Gothic). Betts is mostly part of a four-man rhythm section, but when he plays lead, he punches out a more staccato or hillbilly take on what Duane does as a spacey departure. It's wonderful music, always tight, multi-layered and honest.

,MEANWHILE back at the shack (party HQ for the most arrogant band of consumer rockers in town) Someone was taking the shrinkwrap off the Live album. We played it on (dig this) the Magnavox portable turntable I got with the tax return two years earlier. Didn't matter;. I/we saw smoke as sure as I'm hammering these words out. Memory sucks with the advance of age, but when you're the bass player and your operative age is 19, (as the French say,"PPPHHHHHTTTTTTTTTT!").

Didn't matter how big or how little the spekers were.. They smoked so hard and deep the only proper forum for a Thomas Mertton-like review was the Polish American Club, St Pete Beach, where my idol, accordionmaster and teacher Angelo P.did his weekly gig. Angelo gave me knowledge which dug under the blues. Any cow will tell ya, "Bell haz tolled, my baby's on that train 'n gone!".It's about roots, guts, and a Craftsman 11/16 socket, glass slide, a Shubb (lapstyle), putting authority on it.

that "rhythm player" is Dickie Betts, who blistered a few solos in his day. After Duane and Berry died, Dickie put the band on his shoulders and carried them. Even before the tragedies he wrote some of the Brothers' best stuff. Thanks for posting this. It's a rare find.

eyechord 1 year ago 29
@eyechord I agree....at least in principal. The so called "editor" is actually the criminal here though, not the cameramen. There were several cameras filming because there are so many angles. One camera could not have moved that quickly and from so many different locations. So...somewhere that footage of those rides may actually still exist if it wasn't trashed. It certainly was shot. And like you I would truly love to treat my eyes to what my ears have loved for so very long.....

What gives you your special musicial insight? I bet you sit alone at your computer with your cock in hand hoping someone might think your insightful,sorry buddy your WRONG
salty7121 2 years ago
You're a fuckin idiot you know that? You obviously know nothing about music whatsoever. So let me try to explain it to you, even though you still won't get it because... Well you're an idiot. The blues was the basis for all rock, jazz, metal and more styles. Every MUSICIAN knows the blues and respects the blues. Without the blues, there would be no good music, plain and simple. Everyone, especially the pros know that. So next time do your research before you make another dumbass comment.

You repeat what I said, every musician knows the blues. it's the training wheels. Can you not read? Maybe it's time you shut your piehole until you learn to read with some comprehension.
AJollyGoodFelon 2 years ago
You mean it's the foundation for all music. Now let me get one thing straight: you hate the blues. I disagree 100%. That's ok. A lot of people aren't fans of the blues. I don't have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with is people like you trashing the blues and the people who built it. Like it or hate at least respect it. Respect the people that came before you. And yeah I'm still talkin
4lifeguitar 2 years ago
Our wannabe music critic felon friend obviously knows very little about the Allmans. Go listen to "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" from this very same show, and then go fuck yourself. The Blues maybe based on simple chord structures, but it is hardly simple music.

Hardly simple to an idiot such as yourself who thinks "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is blues.

No sir you could not be any farther from the truth. Sure any average joe can play a half assed 12 bar blues but it takes real skill to play with the feeling and soul that people like these guys do. Creativity-wise you are also very wrong because all the creative guitarist such as Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix etc. all started with blues because there is so much you can do with it and you can be so creative with it so no, it does not write itself. Please go fuck yourself and stop commenting on videos
