Allman Brothers - Mountain Jam (Fillmore East 1971... just the Duane Allman part)

I edited this to fade in just before Duane's solos begin.

He plays two AWESOME solos... crescendoing first on slide, then without the slide.

As it was put to me...

"To me, everything Duane was in life and in his career can be summed up in his slide work on Mountain Jam after Berry's solo. Before or since, I've never heard another guitarist reach so far and so high."

I think the non-slide solo right after is just as good though personally.

I had to cut the last minute and a half or so to fit the video on youtube. No big deal as it's just sort of a wrap up to the song, but after that Duane announces all the performers which I thought was pretty cool.

This is the solo that turned me on to Duane Allman. After this I went out and got everything he ever put out. I'm still digging up bootlegs. What a musician, what a soul!

[mattmossop]

@muskratrowdy Any bootlegs to recommend?

[impala327]

@mattmossop

Go to Sugamegs and look for the Allman Brothers Band. You'll love it. Better set aside a couple hours at least for all the goodness!

[mattmossop]

@impala327 Lol ya looks like it'll take a while to go through. Thanks :).

[Muskratrowdy2]

@mattmossop Wow! Where to start? A&R Studios from 8/26/71 is one of the best quality boots out there and has Duane breaking into Soul Serenade during You Don't Love Me. Missouri Blues from 2/28/71 has a great Liz Reed solo, the Fillmore West recordings from 1/71 are great, Syria Mosque from 1/71 has an incredible Duane solo on Whipping Post and N. Orleans Warehouse from 9/71 has Blue Sky and Revival. Download Sugarmegs and you can hear just about every Duane ABB concert recorded.

@Muskratrowdy2 Man too many to go through on there, lol... but I'll definite check out the ones you mentioned... thanks!

BY GOD< he was barely a man when he died... makes ones imagination reel when thinking what else he would have written and performed if he continued working his talents... Shit.

I loved the music when I discovered it with 16 years, I still love it now at the age of 50, gives me the same old feeling of my gorgeous hippy-youth, like no foto can. Great music of Duane Allman lives forever as long as we have technology and travels the whole world around. Peace and Greetings from Switzerland

My dad got me hooked on the ABB a long time ago and they are still one of my favorites. Anyone that dislikes DA needs their head examined. Excellent guitarist.

[tosa275]

Can race with Mozart ...Nobody ever came to this area like DA..This emotion,flawless,melody ,technic,imprevisation have all come to one person..
