Howard Duane Allman (November 20, 1946 -- October 29, 1971) is still referred to by his nickname "Skydog," which may be a reference to his signature guitar sound and tone. Many consider "Skydog" a variant of the nickname "Skyman" given to him by Wilson Pickett during the recording of Pickett's cover of the Beatles' "Hey Jude." Jim Dickinson was quoted in Keith Richards' autobiography Life as saying he was given the name because he was high much of the time .

  • I would love to know where this recording came from, best I've heard! Thanks!!

  • That story has been haunting me my whole life....Allmans were my heros man. I even had the same damn boots wit the fucking ring on the side (which ya cut off) AWESOME post...

  • Thank you for all your time and hard work to make this video. As a kid growing up in Alabama in the 70's music was a big part of my life. Hours in a dark room with my head set and this music. I will never forget Duane Allman and I dam sure miss him. The road gones on forever, maybe if we are luckly, we will all meet again.
