      Nam 69 in the hut with the hooch. Long pipe and fire this song turned up. The rest of the Joes ripping & ripped. We didn’t know if tomorrow would come. I remember once a prisoner heard this kept he pointing at the speakers smiling and nodding his head in approval. Let me tell you hearing their (ABB)first album under those circumstances over there with my boys. Even for a few minutes I was able to get away from all the stuff going on there. Strange thing is 69 was my second tour. Did one more then came home. I’ve had enough. God Bless America. God Bless ABB. No more war. Heal Mother Earth.

Allman Brothers got their start I heard as a house band at some bars in Daytona Beach.just to the north of us.Later, I hitchhiked ⁉️ to the Orange Bowl & got to see them live .Great times - growing up with these bands as.....the Soundtrack to our Lives.🆒️👍✅💯😎

      Incredible amount of talent on that stage. My favorite Brothers' tune. Dickie Betts wrote it, and plays some tasty leads, but watching this live version with Butch and Jaimoe duelling on drums, Berry Oakley thumping that bass, Gregg with his eyes shut tight, so focused before the booze and drugs took their toll, and especially seeing Duane soloing so effortlessly, with that rich lyrical tone, just brings me to tears.
      RIP Skydog- you were a wonder to behold.

    This song here is all you need to know at to why they hated being called a southern rock band. These guys were on a plain no one else was occupying. Simply incredible the music they made. This song is all derived from a single tombstone. Wow.

    • @johnfrancis6746
      @johnfrancis6746 3 роки тому +35

      A very good point - this is a departure from the Blues and Country modalities where I'd locate 'Jessica' etc. Commentators have pointed out that ABB trailblazed the Southern Rock genre, so I think it really was theirs to mess with as they wanted! I'd argue that they were on a plain that others were exploring though - this tune, and its structure, shares elements of what other extended bands were playing at the time - Santana, The Mothers of Invention, The Grateful Dead - harmonically, musically, it sits alongside what those guys were doing. In that they were stretching the boundaries of the blues/country safe place they knew, this tune involves risks for the soloists, and I think that Duane and Gregg were more able to find their way round the changes than Dickie, at this point. Dickie's best stuff is in his flowing, [often minorised blues] that you get in 'Jessica' and so forth - at that point, he really sings, and I have found comparison with Jerry Garcia's playing then. I used to spin ABB 'Live at Filmore' and Dead's 'Live Dead', alongside one and other of an afternoon. Heady stuff - and 8 great sides. Oh, and of course 'Eleanor Rigby' was inspired by a gravestone too - I wonder if there are more....

    Was fortunate enough to seethe original line up on Steel Pier, Atlantic City, summer 1970. Walked right up to the low stage hour before the show, stood literally within arms reach of Duane. The most perfect, yet seemingly effortless music. No jumping around or showmanship, virtually no signals between musicians. Just one 6 member organism. Astonishing. Never seen anything like it, never will again. The absolute pinnacle

    My God! This was them at their purist. Dickie healthy and playing so strong. Barry putting down the base line for everyone to spring off from. JJ and Butch!! JJ the man who introduced them to jazz riffs and the masters. I just loved watching Butch snap his head as he came around the kit on this song. And that Hammond B3, Greg could send you on a carpet ride. And of course the master Duane. Leading like Duke Ellington and playing with such soothing calm and then blazing with the intensity few if any will ever replicate. There are about a dozen songs in particular that I always have to pick my chin up off the floor after hearing his section. I spent a summer (73) following them on tour and never regretted the time, money and effort it required to get to the next site and score tickets. Thanks to some Deadheads who were touring some with the Brothers that summer. They helped at times in several ways.
    Long live the Brothers.

      @Patrick Pierce, I would argue that Duane Allman & Dickey Betts were the most formidable twin guitar attack ever. Two lead guitarists of that caliber who could both go off in different directions in the same song on leads for 20+ minutes at a time, and then round it up and bring it back home flawlessly for that big ABB finish. Those two playing together in the same band just really wasn't fair to other bands of the day.

    This show was video taped at the Fillmore East in September 1970. The "Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East" album was recorded in March 1971. This video shows that Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts had shorter hair than they had on the cover of the live album. Also, Dickey is playing a red Gibson SG on the video; on the live album he is playing a Gold Gibson Les Paul. You can see it on the inside cover of the album. Dickey gave Duane the red Gibson SG to use when he played slide guitar so he wouldn't have to change the tuning between songs. Duane used the same sunburst colored Les Paul guitar on the video and the live album.

    Even though I was a Dead Head, the Allmans were the greatest American band by far and I did see them a few times as well.

    I can’t believe how good this sounds. Duane’s solo is so powerful. Love his and Dickey’s transition of this song from one year to the next.

      No distortion. Just shows how great they were.
