Duane first picked up the guitar at 14 and left this world at the age of 24. He was literally born to play, there are people around the world still learning his licks from Allman Brothers songs to his studio work. His abilities on slide guitar are where he shined the most ✨🎸 and earned him the nickname Skydog✌️
Muscle Shoals studio. Some of the greatest studio musicians ever. Duane Allman played with them often. He also played on Aretha Franklin's record made there around the same time (year or so earlier) as this was recorded.
This album was recorded at Muscle Shoals with the famous musicians that played on so many blues and soul and early blues/rock songs, and backed some of the biggest acts from the late 1960s and early 70's. My God, so much fantastic music was recorded there under the auspices of Rich Hall. This album was produced by Jann Wenner, who founded Rolling Stone magazine and was friends in the Bay area with his neighbor, Boz Scaggs. Anyway, Nick, you can read wikipedia to get some history on this. And for you and Lex, I can't recommend strongly enough that you watch the two Netflix rockumentaries, "Muscle Shoals" and "The Wrecking Crew" because it will bring together so much information relevant to so many songs and artists that we (your audience) will suggest. Indeed -- so many we already have!! Plus, they're really well-done films. Take your time and do it off-channel, of course.
Really glad you liked this. This thing just oozes soul and pain. As other commenters have noted, it's not one we find people reacting to. Thanks for extending your single-song request time to 15 minutes - this one (and another longer one I have in the queue) would have been impossible to show you otherwise, and tough to incorporate into a marathon. I'm also a "less is more" person, and the pauses and silences are tremendously effective in creating drama, and letting (as you said) your bandmates shine.
I had the 8-track, Duane Allman Anthology, this was my fav tune on there, 1973, I had just graduated high school, drove from Utah to SE Georgia and I played this a LOT! I am So Very Glad you checked this one out, was my intro to Boz, I been a fan ever since!
I saw Boz at the world famous ryman auditorium in 2021 and it’s one of my favorite concerts of all time. He played this and I was on the verge of tears. The whole audience just watched in awe during this song, and after was one of the loudest applauses I’ve ever heard. Still gives me chills thinking about it. Music is unmatched
This was played a lot in the early 1970s when it first came out and subsequently became a staple in “free form” (where DJs could play anything they wanted to) FM radio stations in the Bay Area. Very popular and deservedly so😃
I love your statement-"One of the most beautiful notes sometimes are the ones that are not being played in a solo". Duane Allman was a master at the pause/the silence between notes as heard on this track, as is David Gilmour and Joe B. I love SRV, he fills every millisecond with guitar, and he does it beautifully. But even SRV, the best part of his Texas Flood solo (to me) is when he bring it down, and has pauses.
Legendary guitarist and vocalist on an iconic blues track for sure. Seeing as how you seem to be one of the few reaction channels to step outside the box of just big hits, I’d love to make a request for a song that I believe Don Henley said was the most beautiful song ever written. “Late For The Sky” from the album of the same title by Jackson Browne is truly one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. ♥️✌🏼😎
Duane was barely 22 years old when this was recorded! When a couple of my favorite, local, college radio DJs were retiring their shows after decades, and they both played a 'Last Song' that really touched and stuck with me. This song, and 'Wild is The Wind' by Nina Simone. If you haven't heard 'Wild is the Wind' all I can say is that it is a fragile masterpiece. On the subject of Duane Allman's session work......off the top of my head, I can say that 'Hey Jude' by Wilson Pickett, and 'The Weight' by Aretha Franklin are ridiculous. Treat yourself.
One of Duane Allman's biggest influences was Miles Davis, a true master of musical space. According to Duane and his bandmates he listened to "Kind of Blue" endlessly.
I was always hoping that someone would review this, but it's too long for most younger reaction folks. Muscle Shoals had such a powerful line up, imagine Dwayne playing guitar on so many diverse genres of artists. Plus Boz's killer vocals. Love this song.
"but it's too long for most younger reaction folks." Yes, too long and too obscure. So many UA-cam reactions cover the same ground over and over again.
Duane being Duane. From the anthology record, Cowboy Please Be With Me. Clapton covered the song after Duane passed., and a song with great energy Clarence Carter the Road of Love.
I was 10 when this hit underground FM radio in 69' and blew my little Fing mind! I didn't know what to think imagine at 10 years old being so shook I sat for an hour wondering what I just heard. I figured it out though! 🔥✌🤘😎
Awesome song, thanks for taking a shot at this. Great guitar from the late, great, Duane Allman on this one, those guys killed it. For more excellent Boz try Runnin' Blue. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Eric Clapton hired Duane to play on the Layla sessions. The short time Duane knew Eric they became musical soul mates.Duane got his great guitar phrasing from listening to a lot of John Coltrane! Duane was a monster player, who my opinion could smoke about anybody out there. Jimi Hendrix thought very highly of Duane Allman
Like the fact that the original was 41 minutes and there's a sign at Muscle Sholes that's still up from the recording of this song, that says, Hippies Use the Front Door. Duane was not only a genius musician who was not only a master on guitar but invented an entire genre by himself, he was also humble. He came in the back door and asked if hippies were allowed in, inspiring the sign. There's more too. I've just got sick of writing them.
Great reaction to a great tune. Less is more because it means it’s not all about me. More is definitely more, but is more better? Better is better and you learn the meaning of better from listening and looking. 😃 At least that’s what I heard. 🤔
Nice reaction. But you gotta listen to the next song, "Sweet Release". It's the last cut in Boz's debut. The fade out w Duane picking and backgroung singing by what sounds like angels is heavenly indeed. A more than satisfying follow up after "Loan Me a Dime". BTW the entire album is what's now called 'Americana' cause it doesn't fit a particular genre.
See on YT the Dukes of September featuring Boz, Michael McDonald and the one and only Donald Fagen. Saw them in YYZ about 10yrs ago. They each played their hits backed up by the other. Very good.
Obviously many commenst will be that Duane Allman is playing the guitar on this - which really made it that much more famous. Still waiting on Whipping Post from Filmore East. Love Boz.
WOW, I stop now, after Boz started singing and I can say, by the instrumental intro I never would have guessed that it's a Boz Scaggs song ... parts of the intro reminded me a bit of Zeppelin's Since I've been loving you ..... ok, let's continue 😆 Over all it's a great song and I like it better than the later "radio-Boz", even though it wasn't bad either
Long time favorite Boz recording. I've heard it mentioned before that the beginning of this song has some similarities to Pink Floyd's Shine on You Crazy Diamond. At times I can almost hear it. I'm not necessarily saying it inspired Floyd though. Love both songs at any rate.
That was recorded at the original Muscle Shoals Studio in Alabama , the first recording of this that Boz made I meant ..This is not the version with Duane Allman ..It sounds more 80s or 90s
Do believe if Duane had not been killed and lived another 30 or 40 years he would unquestionably be far and away the best guitarist ever....he was about 20 here

Duane Allman on guitar with Boz. A match made in Heaven.
As others have said this was done at Muscle Shoals Sound and I BELIEVE not very long after The Swampers left FAME Studios.
This is what we call "a slow burn to a raging inferno".

One of the most beautiful and emotional songs ever. And Duane's guitar playing is so uniquely beautiful and unmistakable.

Skydog always takes u higher than u thought u could go.
I love this song!
I cannot Thank You enough for reacting to this, I have been waiting for Someone to do it and you are the first I have seen listen to this...
One of my favourite songs hands down love the build and the sound of desperation in the whole ensemble love it
You have to listen to the Boz Scaggs and Group album. Monkey Time and Runnin’ Blue are my two favorite songs.
Wow!! Had not heard this song by the great Boz Scaggs. Amazing!! 💕
The late Great Duane Allman lead guitar at the end and throughout!! And all at 22 years of age.
Boz Scaggs, Finding her ❤
I had the 8-track, Duane Allman Anthology, this was my fav tune on there, 1973, I had just graduated high school, drove from Utah to SE Georgia and I played this a LOT! I am So Very Glad you checked this one out, was my intro to Boz, I been a fan ever since!
One of the last concerts I went to before Covid was Boz. He still closes the show with this song & still kills it. The crowd is with him all the way.
I saw Boz at the world famous ryman auditorium in 2021 and it’s one of my favorite concerts of all time. He played this and I was on the verge of tears.

"but it's too long for most younger reaction folks." Yes, too long and too obscure. So many UA-cam reactions cover the same ground over and over again.
Those guys really shone on their talent with this one -- it was unrehearsed, and the last song of this album's recording session.
Duane.
Boz and Skydog… doesn’t get any better!!
Duane being Duane. From the anthology record, Cowboy Please Be With Me. Clapton covered the song after Duane passed., and a song with great energy Clarence Carter the Road of Love.

Wow! That's Duane Allman's guitar paired with Boz. One of my all-time favorite blues songs.
Awesome song, thanks for taking a shot at this. Great guitar from the late, great, Duane Allman on this one, those guys killed it. For more excellent Boz try Runnin' Blue. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Nothing beats the slow blues.
Eric Clapton hired Duane to play on the Layla sessions. The short time Duane knew Eric they became musical soul mates.Duane got his great guitar phrasing from listening to a lot of John Coltrane!

On the same album: Finding her. Fantastic!!!
One of my favorite songs. I have so many stories about the recording, etc.

He came in the back door and asked if hippies were allowed in, inspiring the sign. There's more too. I've just got sick of writing them.
Written and originally recorded by Fenton Robinson. Boz initially credited the song to himself but later changed it to Robinson on future pressings.
Yup, that's the stuff ! Beautiful!🔥
Great reaction to a great tune.
Less is more because it means it’s not all about me. More is definitely more, but is more better?
Better is better and you learn the meaning of better from listening and looking. 😃
At least that’s what I heard. 🤔
Skydog!!!
Boz is the man. This is my favorite track from his illustrious career. I can now take this off my future request list...lol! Great one Mickey!✌️🤘✌️
Yes Eric, isn't it great, if once in a while someone fulfills our wishes ? 😆 our lists are just too long 😂
@@rudolfbecker4313 always great to have great minded people like ourselves!😂🤘✌️
What a great song thanks!

VERY cool selection. The great Roger Hawkins on drums.
Another great song from this same 1st album from Boz is I’LL BE LONG GONE. Just fantastic❤️
Yes yes yes!!!!
This track is on the Duane Allman anthology album which I've had for over 45 years and still play. The whole double album is brilliant.
Nick about 5 or 6 yrs ago they The Dan played with Box and Michael. Dukes of September. Full gig is on UA-cam. Great stuff.... Keep up the good work!
Blues at its finest loved it 👍
Obviously many commenst will be that Duane Allman is playing the guitar on this - which really made it that much more famous. Still waiting on Whipping Post from Filmore East. Love Boz.
Cannot believe not once did you mention the guitarist's impact on Loan Me a Dime. That guitarist sir was Duane Allman.

If you appreciate space in guitar solos, check out Peter Green. E.g. A Fool No More.
Do Allman Bros at The Fillmore East STATESBORO BLUES !! Duane's slide at his best !
I heard the for the first time only 5 years ago. The song literally stopped me in my tracks
Tom from Toronto
This is one Lex should of sit in on.
Roger Waters talks about leaving spaces.
Now that is some real music. if you don't like that, you're not alive,
Duane Allman, one of the best blues guitarist, par none!
Boz Scaggs claimed he "Wrote" this song but in reality it was written Fenton Robinson. No comments about Duane Allmans soulful to fiery lead guitar?
Skydog... Muscle Shoals
If you do a reaction to any Christmas songs… please check out ELP’s “I Believe With Father Christmas.” Very powerful.
Duanne Allman joins Boz on this track
Very cool!
Familiar with Boz Scaggs radio hits in the 70's, but not this tune.
Sounds like Steve Miller on vocals.
BB King
That was recorded at the original Muscle Shoals Studio in Alabama , the first recording of this that Boz made I meant ..This is not the version with Duane Allman ..It sounds more 80s or 90s
This is Duane
The late Duanne Allman and Boz Scaggs. Can it get much better.
Do believe if Duane had not been killed and lived another 30 or 40 years he would unquestionably be far and away the best guitarist ever....he was about 20 here
You r ruining a great song w/your face
Why do you watch reaction videos? To insult people? Rather look in the mirror while listening to this song. That's what you deserve.
