Wow, what an experience to be right up in it..me and the ol man of mine were in heaven. This is a standout for this band. Thinking about it now, older and health in devline, I am still amazed as a yound girl These guys would look u in the eye, they were frienly and wanted to engage u. From that show forward, we saw them 7 ×. I got to be a known face to Gregg, who would always kindly put my purse and belongings up by him and once sent me a pain pill w/a Perrier for an obvious migraine. A sweetheart. Also, I met Warren and Allen Woody at 3a.m. outdide Buddy Guy's Legends when they came outta their bus after a Gov't Mule show. Only a few of us remained quiet on the sidewalk and out came all 3 of them to sign autographs and share a joint. That was the ABB mag cover w/them on it that was signed. It sits in a beautiful frame in my living room still. I didn't get to sit close to anybody til 1990. but started going to concerts in winter of 1965 at age if 9! That was the Hollies, again in Chicago. That folowing summer of 1965, The Beatles at 10 yrs old w/,my Dad who laughed his ass off at all the crazy screaming girls. I fell in love w/music at about 6 yrs old for no reason at all. It took me 27 yrs to sit up close...and got truly spoiled! I coulda had a nice retirement from all that $ spent on concerts. But Soooo glad I spent it. Those memories make my 66 yr old sick self feel better in my soul than any $ ever could. Keep the music alive Joe and spread it around .

When the Tonight Show band joined in, that was possibly the most talent ever assembled on a Carson stage. Wow!

[@BertGrange]

Greg Allman was one of the best singers out there So under rated

[@rogercoleman3597]

Other then their original line up, this one a close second. Saw them many times in the early 90's. Fantastic playing.

[@dilutedspleenjuice]

Yeah, well good line up mate. I like Johnny Carson he is a lot funnier than his fucking irish twat of a brother Frank. Maybe its the way he tells um.

Saw them 5 times in the 90s,they rescued my musical soul after Stevie ray passed

[@scottrobinson9752]

Doc as an Allman Brother.... thats kinda blown' my mind!

[@RobertOdell-hq3wn]

I saw the band in Central Park in NYC in 71. Duane had fun reverbing his sound off of the skyscrapers. I’ll never forget his smile. Perfect weather and an indelible memory

[@asr53]

RIP Gregg, Johnny and Doc. These clips are smokin! Growing up in the 60's everyone watched the Ed Sullivan Show for great musical performances. When you were older you could stay up and watch Carson at 1130pm who had on the next generation of comedians plus some great music.

It's hard to explain to someone who wasn't thee, it was an amazing era that will never be duplicated.

Two of the best American guitarists. Great comeback album.

[@franklyterrence4860]

Now you see why Carson was the Best! By far. Today's hosts are pale imitations. We never knew Johnny's Politics either. Good. We don't care

[@justafanintexas7913]

He was a known Democrat, so what are talking about? He didn't discuss politics on the show but his politics were well-known.

Whichever party was in favor of policies that would keep his alimony payments down...!! :))
