The best live recording ever ❤ We were raised on Allman bros music and they were the Top shelf in our gang

[@GBeret83]

Pound for pound, perhaps the most technically proficient at every instrument group to ever come out of what we now call the classic rock era of music. These guys could all play their asses off. Butch Trucks & Jaimoe together on drums and percution made the ABB the first American rock band to incorporate the use of double drummers into their act. Add to that the incredible bass lines always thumped out and held down by Berry Oakley so magically, often through very long solos. The incredible organ work done by frontman Greg Allman who's vocals give you cold chills, and who I think is the greatest "white" blues singer to ever grace a stage. Last but certainly not least, I would argue that no other band of that era or any other for that matter had a more formidable twin guitar attack, or maybe assault is a better descriptor, than the ABB had with Duane "Skydog" Allman and Forest Richard "Dickey" Betts. Two duel lead guitarists of that caliber, both with that much talent just really wasn't fair to other groups of the era. For my money, live music came no better than these guys, and I'm pretty certain their Live At The Filmore East album circa 1971 would back me up and hold up in court as evidence of such!!

"Pound for pound" ❓ Respectfully, check your bias scale...there are many highly proficient bands from the era & I'm a huge ABB fan. ☆ Little Feat were one of them. Like Duane, band leader & music genius, Lowell George was a session player, (multi-instrumentalist, composer, engineer, producer)...graduating to Frank Zappa's, Mothers of Invention, forming the Feats at his suggestion. Original members, Lowell George, Billy Payne & Richie Hayward, including later members, Paul Barrere, Kenny Gradney, Sam Clayton & Fred Tackett, were all sought after session musicians.

IVNobody, no one’s arguing about there being other great guitarist out there at all. Personally I happen to love Haynes and think Derek Trucks is about as good as it gets. We’ve all heard a multitude of great slide players. We are bias it would seem with Duane Allman. So you telling everyone to check our bias is pretty presumptuous of you because then you would be implying that we have never taken the time to listen and learn about other artist. In my opinion then and to this day, Duane Allman still remains my #1 pick in slide guitarists. So I guess that really does make at least myself bias and that’s ok with me.

[@loilt5091]

@@sherryarflin726 We ALL have our opinions...there are many different styles of slide guitar, in other genres & parts of the world, including regions and eras of Americana. My tastes are more eclectic than most. I've seen Derek with the ABB, his own band, before his marriage, including the current group with Susan. The prodigal wiz kid was the heir apparent to Duane's throne. ☆ My current personal favourite, electric blues based slide player, is Sonny Landreth. His Cajun roots fusion is wider sweeping in it's varied influences, forging new frontiers. ⊙ The late Berry Oakley shares my birthday.

Duane Allman hands down the greatest guitarist to put a slide on his finger a play guitar he used an old glass Coricidin pill bottle as a side, another good one is Come And Go Blues has a little rock, a little Jazz , and small touch of country it’s a great example of how tight and together they play as a band, it’s off the Brothers and Sisters Album

[@loilt5091]

Respectfully, there's no questioning Duane's uncanny, tone & absolute command with the slide, but there are others. Slide guitar is a massive world, with many eras, sub genres and different cultural practioners. Do some homework & get back to us. ☆The legendary ethno-musicologist and guitar legend, Ry Cooder, is often cited by other fellow slide greats, including Mulist, Warren Haynes, as the Man. Ry has pointed to VM Bhatt, Hindustani classical music instrumentalist who plays the Mohan veena. He invented his own lap, slide instrument and has devoted dozens of hours daily, over multiple decades to absolute mastery of his instrument. Ry respectfully has said he felt comparatively, like a child in the presence of the supreme master. Thankfully, I once saw both he and incredible son, play at a summer folk festival. ☆The late Bob Brozman, was the scariest, Western practioner of acoustic, blues-based slide, I've ever witnessed in the flesh...highly recommended listening. ☆While former Allman, the prodigious, Derek Trucks, is a monster, I personally prefer, Sonny Landreth's, advantageous, Cajun melting pot of Southern fused goodness, in his highly distinctive, signature fusion of finesse & progression. ☆Be-bop slide wizard, Dave Tronzo's also not one to be missed...he'll melt your face! He's such a generous and affable gent! ☆Hawaiian slack-key, is another worth while world to explore. This popular craze was all the rage, almost 100 years ago, inspiring the National steel/Dobro guitar rage and a neec for the insrument to resonate beyond the acoustic volumes of pre-amplified music. ☆There are so many dobro, country-tinged greats...session great, Jerry Douglas is good starting place. I once had the pleasure of seeing him perform a set at a guitar festival, about 3 decades back.

This song was written by Blind Willie McTell in 1928. Taj Mahal recorded it in 1968 with Jesse Ed Davis on slide guitar, When Duane heard that version, he was inspired to play slide and record this song on the Fillmore album.

His playing is excellent, including the CHOICES he used in the song. Duane taught/influenced a LOT of slide playing. An expert. Reviewers said his and Dicke's playing was emotional, not just technical. This song was written in a more misogynist time. lol I had a connection to the band and got to see some amazing concerts and found many other artists thru them.

Greg and Duane Allman were brothers and formed this Band in 1968. Duane Allman became very good friends with Eric Clapton in the early 70s and in fact, Clapton came to Allman's place, in the U.S. to stay with him and Jam etc. After that, He invited Duane to play on his song Layla, with his new Band "Derrick and The Dominoes. Duane was considered one of the best, if not the best "slide" guitarist in the business. Add in brother Greg's fantastic soulful vocals and organ, not to mention another great guitarist in Dickie Betts, and you have the greatest Blues Band ever. Both Greg and Duane are gone now, as Duane was killed on a motorcycle 50 yrs ago, and Greg died a year or two ago. I love this Band.

[@davidhattman7649]

Dusty Not quite sure you have all the facts correct. Allman Brothers recorded their first album in 1969 and in fact recorded that album in two weeks. The way Clapton met Duane was that Eric heard Duane Play on Wilson Pickett's version of Hey Jude. So Eric was recording the Layla Album in Florida and it just happened that the Producer of that album and the Allman Brothers First Album was none other than the Legendary Tom Dowd. Tom mentioned to Eric that The Brothers were playing a concert not to far from the studio and Eric said lets go see them. After that concert Eric invited the band back to the studio where they jammed. Eric asked Duane to play on the Layla Album and that is how that came about. In fact Eric asked Duane to join Derek and The Dominos band, but he turned them down to continue playing with the Allman Brothers. Good move !

Clapton and Duane collaborated on Derek and the Dominos song Layla. The story is they were in a Miami studio recording when they were invited to go see the Allman Bothers who were just coming up.

There were some cross overs from time to time , but on this song Duane plays all the slide and the first solo , Dicky plays the second solo on regular lead . Both played Gibson Les Pauls or SGs . There is a whole heap of video of these guys on You Tube so grab it before it goes .Cheers from Australia .

Blue sky from that German tv show is my pick for next song

Live double album with 4 sides; only 7 songs. 76 minutes of live greatness.

This band has had many different line ups and it is amazing how they just kept getting some of the best guitar players ever.

An argument could be made, and some believe, that Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes together were better than Duane and Dickie.

Their best years were the early years, from the Hourglass days with Gregg and Duane to entire line up playing here with Berry, Dickie, Butch and Jaimoe. This group keeps evolving and it’s beautiful to see how their music has influenced so many others, across genres too!

One band I really wish I could have caught live. Duanne's guitar playing is legendary. So crisp and with a beautiful sound. Thanks, Harri, you're the best.

Well I guess that after some time with her in the country he thought more highly of her. Great stuff Harri.

You will be looking into more from these guys I’m sure. They are fabulous. I got to see them numerous times in the 70’s- they came to Little Rock Arkansas a lot!!! Whipping Post, Stormy Monday, so many great tunes!!!

Live at Filmore East. Watch..2 drummers playing in perfect unison

The song is short because on radio in those days songs couldn't exceed a certain length and if you wanted to get airplay you had to fit in the prescribed timeframe. By the mid-70s a few songs began to break that rule and get played despite being "too long". Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody was one of them i can recall off the top of my head

Had a great time, won't be my last.

Another fun reaction Harri. Thanks

Hendrix playing Red House, sort of said the same thing. “If my baby don’t love me no more, lord I know good and well, her sister will”
