    Summary:
    On this date, Bill Graham assembled a stellar roster of bands to participate in the filming of a television special called Welcome To The Fillmore East for broadcast on educational channels. Short sets were filmed by the Byrds, the Elvin Bishop Group, Sha-Na-Na, Van Morrison, and the Allman Brothers Band, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of Bill Graham and the Fillmore East staff at work.
    The Allman Brothers performance is nothing short of spectacular and features the original lineup that included Duane Allman and Berry Oakley. Recorded six months prior to the legendary Live At Fillmore East double album set, this performance captures the Allman Brothers when they were a relatively new band, full of youthful passion and performing what would become classic original material when it was fresh and new.
    Following Bill Graham's introduction, they kick things off with a tight performance of "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'," which features the band's friend, Tom Doucette, blowing harp over the group's trademark sound. Gregg's vocal is barely audible, but it's obvious the group is full of fire. "Dreams," which follows, slows things down a bit and the group establishes a relaxed groove that showcases their trademark sound, blending elements that would eventually come to define "Southern Rock."
    They hit their stride on the next number, Dickey Betts' "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed." Here, the dual guitar attack of Allman and Betts is astounding. The two guitarists intertwine and synchronize in a manner nothing short of telepathic, creating a melting pot seasoned with elements of jazz, rock, country, and blues into a style utterly their own. The set ends with a ferocious take of "Whipping Post" that features outstanding melodic bass playing from Berry Oakley, with both Duane Allman and Dickey Betts soaring over the propulsive rhythm section. Shorter than the expansive versions that would develop in coming months, this is all the more fascinating for it, as they compress an incredible amount of energy into the time allotted.
    Time constrictions and vocal microphone malfunctions aside, this is still a fascinating performance. This original lineup of the band was certainly one of the most innovative and captivating bands to ever play the Fillmore.

      I think he had hit his peak already ala Eric Clapton great guitarist whose best work was all early on. Duane had already influenced so many artists as a sessions guitarist before the ABB. His unique blues and Jazz influenced playing made Dickey Betts the monster guitarist he became and he took over leadership after Duane left way too early.

  • @guyr.c.606
    @guyr.c.606 6 років тому +301

    I suspect I'm not alone when I find myself as emotionally gripped by the passion of Dickey Betts guitar work as I am by Duane Allman in this awesome early performance. They were the perfect foil for each others approach , contrasting and distinct in their tone and feel but capable of playing as though of one mind, lost in the melodic but, found in the harmonic, a band in sync but sympathetic to living in the moment.
    Their music is so compelling, it's complex but accessible, uncompromising but never elitist, an antidote to all that's bland and formuleric in modern music.
    The Allman Brothers band are inclusive, nurturing the talents of guitarists like Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, and very much a musical family who while carrying the torch within the band have broken new ground in various bands and musical collaborations taking their music to new places and new heights of virtuosity and in the process Inspire a new generation of musicians.

    Duane's incredible gift for finding his place for the pitch he wanted no matter where on the neck he began a slide from was always uncanny. This video captures much of that magic. Quick stops, down, up vibrato, pitch and timing perfect dives - amazing stuff. Derek Trucks is the closest I've heard since, but Duane always sounded so spontaneous that you felt in in your spine.

    • @STSGuitar16
      @STSGuitar16 Рік тому +4

      Spontaneous is a fantastic way of describing his playing. It almost feels like a tightrope act all the way through one of his blistering slide solos in a way. In my opinion, Derek has truly taken Duane's ideas and approach to slide playing and taken them to an even higher level. Duane was playing it unlike anyone else back in his day, and Derek is now doing the same with this generation of music. Both are fantastic for numerous reasons.

      Oh, they missed a lot of notes -- not like I blame them. But when you listen to the complete Fillmore recordings, it's obvious why the versions for the original LP were chosen. For some reason there's a good handful of times Dickey Betts loses the downbeat in his solos. On an outtake of Hot 'Lanta, for instance, he somehow winds up a half-measure ahead of the rest of the band, and it really fucks everyone up.

    RIP Dickie Betts. Witnessed his amazing talent first hand at the early show Schaefer Music Festival in Central Park in 1971. What a night! A friend had an extra ticket and asked me to join him. I thought I was going to see the Chambers Brothers (Time Has Come Today). Needless to say, a wonderful surprise!
    I know you’re up there jamming w Greg and Duane and Barrie in Heaven.

      Poor Duane and Barry both died at 24 the exact same way. And you gotta feel bad for the band, that must’ve been hell. If I could see one band in concert in their prime it would be these guys.

      I really don't understand how you could say such a thing. Duane is truly missed for sure, and to be taken at such an early age was even more tragic, BUT God chose him for a reason beyond my knowledge or yours...

    I so much wanted to go to this concert but my mom would have none of it. She's like "Jesus you won't even be 2yrs old until December", you are not going to some rock concert. "And especially not some long hair southern hippy boy rock concert".I haven't spoken to her since.

    Wow! I haven't seen or heard this before. Just spiritually high music by some outstanding serious musicians. You can hear the various musical influences that flow from them. I saw Greg during his discredited years of notoriety around 87, at free concert in Florida. Nobody but bikers bother to show up. His band played on flatbed with no flash, and they were just as amazing - dedicated to the music.

  • @barristanselmy2758

    Well, Duane is most certainly in beast mode here. Unfortunately he was taken a bit early for our liking. Good thing we can still see him here live, back when music was music, and people were people.

      +Christopher Hitchens people throw around the name "greatest" guitar player (whatever that means) and somehow fail to mention Duane on many lists, so much for lists. The guitar was invented before Slash, Eddie Van Halen

    • @andrewptob
      @andrewptob 8 років тому +4

      +I Don't Know Probably because he died so young. He accomplished a lot, don't get me wrong, but he wasn't even on most of Eat a Peach and was on none of Brothers and Sisters. His style is so incredible and unique, though. He should get mentioned more, without a doubt.
