This dude twisted out every note that guitar had to give. His talent on guitar surely can be compared to the great classical musicians of the 17th and 18th centuries and I don't care if that sounds nuts, either.He only would have gotten bettter if he were around today. If there was only one song that would describe, Duane, it would have to be this one, right.
Lucky, hell yes i was 13 when their first lp yes a RECORD came out and iv'e seen them many times . If any morons think this music will fade good luck believing that , Good intelligent playing and feel like the great classical composers will never fade. has Beethoven, or Chopin, i think not. These guys were the most influential band of our generation, Musicians will be listening & playing this great stuff for many long years, For music is forever, If a few idiots don't get it let them fade....
@gitaarleraar1970 obviously someone is looking for a rise out of us here;) Either way did you know Zappa was a ABB fan? He even covered Whipping Post. I wonder what he would say about brother Duane and the band
MOSKII58.....I'm guessing, but I think it's Larry "Rhino" Reinhardt in the fringe jacket at 2:11 in the video. It sure appears to be him. Rhino was part of that gang of musicians who were all jamming together in Jacksonville, FL back in the late 1960's. The Allman Brothers Band was formed out of those jams. Larry Reinhardt went onto form Iron Butterfly and later, Captain Beyond. Reese Wynans, Stevie Ray Vaughn's keyboardist, was also part of the Jacksonville music scene back in that same era.
It;s important to have this recording to compare with the one a year later...it's live at stony brook and one year later 7/19/71 he does it again, right before he dies...with the birds and what an amazing job he did with this song...like a dream inside a wakeful life cut too short...
For those fans who love the FE album, the lighting engineer at SB who also did same at the Captiol in Passaic, commented in an interview that some of that album were actually from SB. Reason? There's a clock in the gym that would 'buzz lightly' on the hour - none such existed at Billy's place. Check the interview out at my alma mater. Google moyssidotcom and look for interview with Bill Frey.
I believe I attended this show..if the year is correct, then this was the first time I saw the band..I believe they opened the show for Chicago, whom I went to see..has never heard of AAB until that night..became a devout follower that night...saw the Fri night Live Fillmore show...also caught that Live Stonybrook 71 show before I left for Calif.. it was the last time I got to see the original band..Duane passed on a mere 5 weeks after that show..I was in Big Sur when we got the news..
actually i enjoyed the slide show.. some very cool & interestings pics,love the one w/ Duane & Eric & the one of Duane playing on the grass w/ everyone just standing beside him, like no big deal.. i woulda freaked..and my fav is the one of his two les pauls the tobacco & cherry sunburst side by side on the table..forgetting the fact that they are Duanes, they are still worth 1/2 mil or more for the pair & add in the Duane factor and i'm sure they'd bring a mil plus.
mesmerizing hypnotic tranquility. hmmmm duane was an ole slum dog hillybilly who made it big. I may not have liked all the stuff this band did but this song is really a stand out. it's like he took guitar playin' to new heights at that show. simply beautiful playing of a guitar. he left us all wondering how good he would have been. sorry, but he would have only gotten better.
duane was good but not all his live stuff sounded as good as this piece, here. this is a real, deep, knarly cut of some ABB. not a whole lot songs that I really like by this group but this one damn song is enough evidence for me to argue how talented Duane was. he was carving a wave on this jam, for sure, going through the pipe playing air guitar.
okay i'll listen to some crappa and and miles and then i'll leave a comment and say this is crap, which it truly is. i'm moving to montana soon with my waxed dental floss and miles with his annoying shit that goes nowhere. give me some real jam i can sink my teeth into. duane was excellent and that's it. you'll never catch the midnight rider, baby!!!!!!!
I was at this show. The Allmans were no strangers to Stony Brook. When they were the Allman Joy they were the house band for a wild fraternity house there and would play a couple of times a semester. I was just in high school but I knew they would be huge. Fuckin' motorcycles. Thanks for posting this!
the guitar solo in this, is like watching a rose bloom from a bud, using time elapsed photography. it explodes in a burst of brilliant floribunda before your very eyes. a bong hit and this jam is better than a ham hock and cornbread.
@jakks345 I have the Ludlow Garage tape on reel that I got back in 74 from Tony Yoken who put DA Anthology II together. Never could figuure out why it did not make the CD. I will have to ditigize it and load it up here!
@SoberAllmanBrosFan well you can thank your lucky stars for you tube w/o it you would never even know what you missed..and the tube is great for all these shows that you can watch over & over
does anyone have a link or a possible upload of dreams and the near impossible to find In Memory of Elizabeth Reed from the show Live at Ludlow Garage? In my opinion the best version of both songs
this is the allman brothers band. duane was the heart and soul of this group. forget about the final show at the beacon theatre because when Duane died that was the final show PERIOD! this performance proves why he was the nuts and bolts that held it all together. everybody that really knows anything about this band and truly knows what a talent duane was on guitar, knows that the current band is not worth seeing. there just going through the motions. he only would have gotten better and better with time and his death has to be one of the biggest losses in rock n roll history.
I will start by saying that I'm a huge fan of Duane and he is my favorite guitarist of all time. With that being said, I couldn't disagree more with your statement. What is a 28 year old like myself who wasn't born early enough to see Duane play do? Am I supposed to never experience his legacy and the torch that was passed on? I just feel your opinion is short sighted. I was at the Beacon for the 40th anniversary show.. At the end of a ridiculously riveting performance by Derek and Warren, they put a few clips of Duane on the big screen. I'll never forget trying not cry like a baby in front of my then girlfriend. I personally think these are arguably two of the greatest guitarists of their time (Derek & Warren), and another generation is lucky enough to see those talents convene on one stage and carry on the torch. In the 8 times I was able to see "this version" of the band play, I always wanted more. And I wish the road did go on forever. Because there were always moments when the hair on the back of your neck would stand up and you'd sit there in awe of a band whose "peak" was 40 years prior. You're entitled to your opinion, chev. But you've missed some incredible performances if you haven't seen them since Duane..
Sonny Kupniewski yeah i saw them back in the late 80's. with dickey betts and whoever was playing the "so called" lead on that tour. the only reason i went was because i donated blood and got a free ticket. got too drunk and stoned and don't remember much of the show. but i remember them in atlanta and some shows they did at the fillmore west, with Duane. he was so pure with his sound. it was amazing to hear it live.
@@chev202 your drugs may be the reason why you sound so uninformed and, quite frankly, ridiculously out of whack, off course and plain wrong. Duane had a vision of what he wanted in a band...there was a fat sound coming from 2 lead guitars and 2 drummers. Gregg was A brother who wrote music and lyrics like nobody's business, and then, there was Berry Oakley, amazing bass player. Gregg's voice and Duane's sound made the band (aptly named) different than any band to date. After Duane's death, Gregg still wanted to push his brother's dream to fruition. He created two bands. One, which would be called the Gregg Allman Band, and the other, The Allman Brothers, keeping it 'brothers' because he was pushing and pulling for that sound Duane wanted. No BODY could replace Duane...but to stop, would be to negate all the hard work Duane did. Gregg, took it by the balls and brought forth a new ABBs...still having that sound, and Betts grew into it, the other dude you're talking about is an amazing guitar player, Dangerous Dan Toler and his brother joined the band too...RIP to all, and you got lucky to get to see them ever. Are you still giving blood to live? Who are YOU to judge. I don't judge you, who sound so stupid. I didn't say you ARE stupid, what you said is stupid...what you did 4 years ago and before that was stupid...I certainly hope you see my point and that you are not a victim of drug addiction. If you are a victim of that disease, I can give you a break...and suggest you find some strength inside you to heal and give up the bad habits. Always here to lend an ear...but I will not listen to garbage about the Brothers Allman, either of them. Gregg has now passed, and NOW the band is gone, except there is a NEW generation of children...with the DNA of their parents, trying to make that sound live on.
It was the best of times. I happen to be on campus for this show as part of freshman orientation. Then saw the band in Sept as well as the following Sept. Great times at SUNYSB. Dead, Floyd, Byrds, Traffic, Tull, Kinks with the lineups before I got there even more insane: Who, Janis, Hendryx, Monk, Miles, Fugs, Moody Blues. Btw, @ 7:12, that's Duane rehearsing in one of the rooms at the SUNY gym (also @ 8:02). There's still great music NOW to be had, but I'll always remember those nites.
And you were reading Dickens' A tale of two cities and listening to the ABBs along with all the others...Don't forget Santana, Beck, Wow, so much good stuff back then...It was the best of times...it was the worst of times...
i believe it cut him off and he went down and his bike dragged him, Berry was going around a corrner and crossed the line while a bus was going the opposite direction , he collided with the side and went down, He refused to go to the hospital saying he was ok, We know the rest... Such a tragic loss for all of us..
He was thrown 50 feet from the point of collision. Duane was absolutely un-conscience as soon as he hit the ground. He sustained massive brain injuries. He was in surgery for 2 hours before they pronounced him dead. RIP to both brothers. Berry is a brother in my opinion too, and HE was able to get up and go home for a second until something burst in HIS brain...Gregg died of Liver problems and Butch Trucks shocked us all when he did his own self in...tragic.
What is amazing about the Allmans is how dramatically the band changed from the late 60's-early 70's to the mid 70's with the passing of Duane and Berry Oakley. While still a phenomenal band, they were really never the same. How could they be? To lose one of the greatest guitar players ever. That crazy pychedelic slide guitar he played... never heard anything like it before or after...Dickie Betts is great and all, but it is like being right handed and losing your right arm.
duanes playing is beautiful on this track , fell in love with it 1st time i heard it , on his anthology album , just a stupendous band , seen them live at knebworth in the 70s , obviously no duane ... ( dont remember them playing this track anyway , ) jesus i,ll always love the allman brothers , some bands from america , just play it like it should be , jesus i love this band , im kinda emotional now . they play a gig in new york in july for hepatitas c , awareness !! im in london but wanna go
Great, no matter how often I've already heard this song, it's still fascinating, powerful and yet such melancholic. I guess though, I've never listened to this version, I've got the CD "Suny at Stonybrook 9/19/71", I haven't compared it A/B but this seems different. Shorter, and more in tune than my CD version. My favorite though still is the Atlanta version.
extremely raw, live jam. so pleasant to listen to. makes you want to get a guitar and dream. i only wish that the other stuff they did was this kick ass. for whatever reason this song really is a stand out. some nice guitar stuff. very different and unique to say the least. thanks for posting!
bthoma it's possible you have one of yhe best recordings of this, maybe better than stony brook, 9-19-71but maybe. no bird whistles on this one one but still a solid version for sure. where was this performed????
Same place as the incredible one with the birds fluttering and whistling...even the creciendo is around 5:30, and again at the end, like the one you're talking about...which may be the greatest recording of the greatest guitar player....1 year later the version you are talking about came out...9/19/71, I guess he had to get it just perfect, as he knew what was to come...it was at Stoneybrook this one and the one you''re referring to. I KNOW which one you mean...it's incredible.
Duane, was so taleneted that you can never ever question if he was one of the best guitarists ever. he loved to play and it just came so naturally for him. i guess he took the same approach to the guitar as Moon did to the drums.
This was THE music when I was a kid. I feel I should have been born down South the way I love this music. Don't fight over it, enjoy it. Southern Fried Rock defines 70's music to me. Takes me back to being a kid, raising hell. and carefree. Don't read more into it than it needs...just listen to it. That's what it was written for. To listen to, not to analyze.
no one even wants to deal with you...go find something to listen to your own damned self. I know it's 8 years later, and certainly hope you've pulled yourself together.
I wasn't even born but still I wish I could've seen the great ones live in concert like Allman Bros, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Jones(Rolling Stones) and others.
every one excuse my weird comments and enjoy possibly the best recording of dreams that was ever done with Duane Allman moon dog, sky dog, whoever whatever. he was Americas's best guitarist to ever play. simply amazing what he could do. They should do a bio-documentary on Duane and get it it out at soon. He was an incredible talent that will never be matched.
Laudnum and morphine were at one time legal...when the railroads were being built they made opium, made from the poppy too, illegal so that the asian railroad workers would get sick and stop opening businesses...one reason. One could still obtain it from the Sears and Roebuck Cat. Many women, who would never be caught drinking ordered morphine from Sears and did it during the day to take the edge off...their secret. I do not know why I just wrote a whole thing on opiates...I don't even see who you are replying to and it's five years later....it's here and I'll leave it. I misspelled laudanum...
this is guitar playing. this is getting every fuckn bit of meat off the bone jam. nothing left to prove or do after this one. such a tight lil masterpiece. i'm soooooo glad that i can listen to this song whenever i can because you sure won't hear it on the radio
Both motor cycle accidents and both fatal. The details of the accidents differ. The coincidence is that Berry's accident happened about 2 blocks from Duane's and a few other things. Duane's accident was horrible, major brain injuries, who knows how that would have left him had he lived. Berry's was not as brutal, yet still just as fatal.
I will always be listening to the Allman Brother's the best,always live,and die listening to the music.👍💥
IT'S BEEN A WHILE BUT NEVER FORGET THAT GREAT MUSIC, OF THE ALLMAN BROTHER'S..👍R.I.P. GREG 🙏

Bthoma1 I want more But what I’d love is the Original 6 live video of Stormy Monday at Fillmore East. That’d be a Dream I’d Like To See
@gitaarleraar1970 obviously someone is looking for a rise out of us here;)
Either way did you know Zappa was a ABB fan? He even covered Whipping Post. I wonder what he would say about brother Duane and the band
-- some great photos here, thanks! Most I'd never seen before. ABB music lives!
As good as it gets. Duane plays mounfully, profoundly. Did he know somehow that his time was short?
This piece of music is a gift to us all.
I love the pictures! And love the ABB. 💕
39 years ago today all...we lost our brother SkyDog....RIP brother....
@gitaarleraar1970 Whatever helps you sleep at night buddy :)
When music actually meant something. R.I.P. Duane..
There will NEVER be another like The Allmans.
ABB=American music excellence=)

How could you say that gitaarleraar? I gave this to a 24 year old bass player who asked me how'd he missed this. He was very happy to have the cds.
If you continue to compare musician to musician, lives to life, and distinct sounds to each other then you may one day miss out. Then again......
Listening, brings me right back to the good old days. Live at the Fillmore east was a great live album. What's this cut off of?
does someone know why the strings are set like that at 6: 30, look at the bridge... they are on the outside. whats that about???
thanks 4 this song. i'll take good sound quality over video any day. and yes their other stuff is this good too...rock on!
@ioriorioriorio not you
Thank you, I was about to say the same...now, I second that. I love what you upload. Thank you very much...a fan.
G-d blessed stonybrrok with everone from the Allman Bros. to Twisted Sister. I loved that !
Who is the harmonica player at 4:24-4;44? What show, song?
hey jethro can duane play or what. Hell yeah, Jed. Hey granny wake up and pass the joint!
Is that a "I only have eyes for you" tease at @3:08-3:12? Its a quickie, but noticeable.
I remember that good ol' dillon stadium show with the dead...think it was 5 dollars!!

mind was blown up to 6;20 then i just fell upon the heavens after 6:20

always. always will i love this music. don`t matter which version.

Great, no matter how often I've already heard this song, it's still fascinating, powerful and yet such melancholic.

bthoma it's possible you have one of yhe best recordings of this, maybe better than stony brook, 9-19-71but maybe. no bird whistles on this one one but still a solid version for sure. where was this performed????
Same place as the incredible one with the birds fluttering and whistling...even the creciendo is around 5:30, and again at the end, like the one you're talking about...which may be the greatest recording of the greatest guitar player....1 year later the version you are talking about came out...9/19/71, I guess he had to get it just perfect, as he knew what was to come...it was at Stoneybrook this one and the one you''re referring to. I KNOW which one you mean...it's incredible.
Oh, btw, I see your comments often and enjoy the immensely. So, don't apologize. I saw what you wrote on the bird one too...
Duane, was so taleneted that you can never ever question if he was one of the best guitarists ever. he loved to play and it just came so naturally for him. i guess he took the same approach to the guitar as Moon did to the drums.
This was THE music when I was a kid. I feel I should have been born down South the way I love this music. Don't fight over it, enjoy it. Southern Fried Rock defines 70's music to me. Takes me back to being a kid, raising hell. and carefree. Don't read more into it than it needs...just listen to it. That's what it was written for. To listen to, not to analyze.
just WoW :) QC
anyone know who the harp player on stage w/ duane is? (4:41) is that Tom Duchette?
It sure is.
can some one direct me to other vids that jam or is this where the buck stops.
no one even wants to deal with you...go find something to listen to your own damned self. I know it's 8 years later, and certainly hope you've pulled yourself together.
4:26 Love Valley Festival?
Indeed,notice younger generations,when music is this good very few or no voice be needed,your instrument says it all..thats the way it should be...
I wasn't even born but still I wish I could've seen the great ones live in concert like Allman Bros, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Jones(Rolling Stones) and others.
pistol pete of the guitar
Seems like yesterday.
Want more live Duane!!
The title is self explanatory...DREAMS
Amazing thanks
I could listen to this a thousand times over and not get tired of it. Timeless Allman Brothers perfection.
YEAH!
Duane R. I. P. ♡
ik heb mijn zoon 30 jaar geleden naar jou genoemd
i love your guitar playing
The 5:34-5:55 could be a easily be mistaken for a violin. Simply amazing tone and phrasing!
RIP Brother Duane
Hard to believe its 37 years now.
REMEMBER DUANE ALLMAN
Everything's just fine........when the Brother's are playin.........
This is great along with the pictures...i had to listen twice :)
every one excuse my weird comments and enjoy possibly the best recording of dreams that was ever done with Duane Allman moon dog, sky dog, whoever whatever. he was Americas's best guitarist to ever play. simply amazing what he could do. They should do a bio-documentary on Duane and get it it out at soon. He was an incredible talent that will never be matched.
How do you know what drugs Beethoven was or wasn't taking? Opium was legal back then.
Laudnum and morphine were at one time legal...when the railroads were being built they made opium, made from the poppy too, illegal so that the asian railroad workers would get sick and stop opening businesses...one reason. One could still obtain it from the Sears and Roebuck Cat. Many women, who would never be caught drinking ordered morphine from Sears and did it during the day to take the edge off...their secret. I do not know why I just wrote a whole thing on opiates...I don't even see who you are replying to and it's five years later....it's here and I'll leave it. I misspelled laudanum...
Anyway, what does it matter if it's legal or not, that wasn't his point...and what is your point?
this is guitar playing. this is getting every fuckn bit of meat off the bone jam. nothing left to prove or do after this one. such a tight lil masterpiece. i'm soooooo glad that i can listen to this song whenever i can because you sure won't hear it on the radio
A year later he did this song even better....
ABB 40Years!
Fantastic miss the music from those days
This is from when music was actually good...
Love this!
simply an amazing song i love it
right duane&berrys death came from hitting a bus
John Arena Wrong.
Both motor cycle accidents and both fatal. The details of the accidents differ. The coincidence is that Berry's accident happened about 2 blocks from Duane's and a few other things. Duane's accident was horrible, major brain injuries, who knows how that would have left him had he lived. Berry's was not as brutal, yet still just as fatal.
Skydog would've turned 62 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DUANE!!!
