    The white drummer is Butch Trucks. He is the uncle of guitarist Derek Trucks. I encourage you to check out the Tedeschi-Trucks band. Derek is an incredible slide guitarist who is as close to a reincarnated Duane Allman as you’re going to find. Their band is absolutely great

    The "Best Damn Band In All The Land"! The Brothers were hands down the best live band (every incarnation of the band was formidable) ever. The Brothers on a rare "off" night would still make others bands best nights pale in comparison. It was always about "hittin' the note". It does my old heart good to see younger generations appreciating the music and magic of The Brothers. Eat A Peach For Peace.

    The two drummer thing: I saw something amazing at a Joe Walsh concert at the Santa Barbara bowl in the early 1980s - as usual, Mr. Walsh had two drummers with him on stage with two full drum sets - as they were playing from OPPOSITE sides of the stage, they (Joe Vitale, his normal drummer and another guy) threw their drumsticks across the stage like jugglers with bowling pins, each while playing the song flawlessly! They did this for the ENTIRE song! I couldn't believe it, so I took my camera to the stage and photographed it - got the pictures back, and it was real! Too much!

    IMHO Duane’s guitar solo in the Fillmore East live album version of this song is arguably the greatest solo. I recommend the studio version of Whipping Post next if you haven’t reacted to it yet. They have many great songs, including One Way Out and Statesboro Blues. I think their version of Stormy Monday (live Fillmore East album), is one of the greatest blues song of all time. The other great guitar player in this band, Dickey Betts, wrote the song Elizabeth Reed.

    Tom Dowd, engineer extraordinaire spliced two recorded versions of IMOER that provided the best possible version of it live. I believe the first section features Duane and the second section features Dickie. It is an awesome tune regardless of what one you're listening to.👍👍👍👍

    Eric Clapton, a guitar player of some repute, said that it had only happened a few times in his life, when he heard a song on the radio and he immediately pulled his car over to find out who the guitar player was. It happened with Jimi Hendrix, It happened with Duane Allman and it happened with Stevie Ray Vaughn. As someone else mentioned, Duane Allman later played with Clapton when the Layla sessions were recorded. Duane played slide guitar on that tune, as no one else could ... with the possible exception of Derek Trucks (whose uncle Butch Trucks was a founding member and drummer of The Allman Brothers Band). Derek, himself, was later a member of The Allman Brothers Band and is a sublime slide guitar player in his own right.

    This was part of a PBS special filmed 9/23/1970 at the Fillmore East. You can see other footage from this night from different bands on youtube. The quality is much better for them because it was produced and polished for the special. The Allman Brothers were left out because some doofus forgot to plug Gregg Allman's mike in until halfway through the performance. (The control board or something.. the audience could hear him just fine). All we have is the raw footage. So what should have been their big break didn't happen and they had to wait another year or two to get big. Duane Allman was royally pissed after the fact when he found out.

    I understand that you are a drummer, I saw the Outlaws live with two drummers and I saw Blue Oyster Cult play live with two drummers, don’t know if this was all the time, great review. Thanks.

    @L33Reacts Duane Allmann was a gifted guitarist. He was becoming an in demand session player as well as playing in this band. The song Layla by Derek and the Dominos would be quite different if Duane didn't meet Eric Clapton in Florida

    Two part guitar harmonies, occasionally added a third voice in the organ....

    I had tickets to see the Allman Brothers in West Palm Beach, Fl...I believe it was 1970 but it was the original band with Duane and Barry. You must check out "Live at the Fillmore East" and "Eat a Peach".
