I found a great copy of it a few years ago and it's my favorite album by far now. Blows my mind how much he did by the age of 24 and definitely sounds way more of a matured guitar player

I bought Anthology on a whim when I was 14. I saw it in a bargain bin at a record store in Durban, South Africa, and just liked the cover. When I heard it on getting home I was staggered. Especially this tune and Loan Me a Dime. A whole new musical world opened up. 40 years later I still love that record so much.

[@peterscuzzo3656]

I am 52 and for some reason I never go into The Allman Brothers. I grew up during the hair band days of Motley Cruel, Sabbath of course, Van Halen, etc. I never dug the Southern Rock or Blues but then I grew up. Lately within the last 8 months or so I can't get enough of this band and Derek Trucks who is a guitar god in my opinion as is Duane. This tune I am listening to now is physically making me feel like music should. I think I actually stopped breathing for a few minutes as Duane started getting into it. I also like taking my guitar and coresidan bottle and play along. This particular song is so fun to play with a slide in open E. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. My ass you can't. I have learned how to play a lot of these licks and for me the Allman Brothers are like a new band to me since I never listened to them in the 80's or 90's when I was in highschool and college. This band moves me. The triumphs and horrible tragedies this band has faced but still moved on. The Allman Brothers Band are truly one of the greatest bands that Rock n Roll, blues, jazz, and country have ever heard. I can't get enough of them.

[@allanbriggs807]

Remember Derek Trucks was brought up with the Allman Bros. First played with them when he was 13.

One of Duane's very best. He pulls so many tricks out of his bag of licks on this one. Other than his obvious vituosity on the guitar, sometimes underappreciated is the tastiness of it all. Never overplays, seems to always add the perfect phrase at the perfect moment. Check the tiny lick at 7:06 ...the water drip lick. Sounds just like a slow drip of water finally releasing itself into a drop. Gorgeous and difficult to do with that kind of amazing clarity.

Next saw 'em 1975 in South Carolina and Dickey Betts was still the sole guitar man and he took that entire concert, put it on his back, and carried it to high Heaven. It was impressive, he really rose to the occasion. I would have sold my soul to have seen him and Duane onstage together and sold my soul twice to get a good seat to view it even mo' better.

Would have loved to see him live!!! Headphones and Duane will solve any problems you have.

[@maxlentz4471]

[@gossamerwings3632]

wow this is so nice!!! jazz & blues ....

[@josephbottone9855]

here we go with that guitar, it tares me wide open, Its true my friend I feel every line.

[@jeannemariewallace9216]

rest in peace brother allman,what a great lost to the music world

[@sylviafarese8837]

It makes me happy to see so many here just learning about Duane and loving it!

[@piperzdad]

Dude was head, and shoulders above the rest!!

[@stargazer6753]

Amen.

[@perijetton9275]

I think he gives Gregg a run for his money with this song! ✌️🍑🍄💙

[@Frank332666]

I just discovered this musician 5 minutes ago and he just blows my mind!

[@geneweaver9199]

Duane, excuse me, (Sir Duane) has been my pick as the all time greatest,24 year old, on a six string ever. We will never, ever, have anyone come along, that can touch him, ever. I'm WAY BLESSED!! to be a chronic, adamant, Allman Brothers follower, with JJ Cale bringing up the rear, and I must mention Dicky Betts, (Duane said it himself, Dicky was as good as he was.) I will also throw in Henry Vestine and the awsome guitar players from Canned Heat. I will also add, I'm from Memphis, Tn., I also thank Sam Phillips and Sun Records, without Sam, rock and roll would not be what it is.

[@jondough4227]

you forgot Alvin Lee ... [ kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ3dZKOuacmHi5o ]

[@davidjohnson00001]

I agree although Derek Trucks has carried on from the Brothers. A different feel but just as soulful.

[@allanbriggs807]

Al "Blind Owl" Wilson - great man with the slide - died early

[@denibaro1230]

Happy 75th Birthday Skydog, you are not forgotten.

[@UfoDan100]

I feel bad for anyone over age 55 that never got to be at an AB concert when Duane and Berry and the rest were all doing their magic !

[@SupernovaA-dj8dh]

55 ...saw 'em in 75 with Muddy Waters,Boston Garden.No Duane but I was thrilled to be there still.Nobody has done it like Duane.

[@ALBERTKING901]

saw them in 1970 at Hampton Roads Colliseum. Duane, Berry, Greg, Dickie, Jaimoe, and Butch. God they were great!

[@timhoovermusicman]

that would be me,although just 54,

[@garylaubscher9914]

That would not be me . I live in Daytona, heard the two practice some while they were here & play once when I sat outside a nightclub. After that about 4 concerts, could not travel much , still in high school , saw them when I could. Miss those days. 68 now, still listening, thank God for internet, Live long& rock on!!!

[@jpkirkpatrick]

I take umbrage with that! I am 67 and went to many, many concerts of the Allmans, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, BB King, and many that most younger than I could not have seen. Blues is it, but All Southern Rock was good!

[@jaxtraw51]

Bob, I've come across you a couple times and all I can say is...You know your shit! Your info/insight fills in holes,restores memory,completes a picture.When Duane died I was a dumb ass college student in upstate NY.I'm still a dumb ass but I will forever remember that day I was told he passed....i was hitch-hiking to my girlfriends school and the guy who gave me a ride also gave me the news.I'm 61yrs old,quick of mind and spirit...but I will never forget that day. Take care, Jack

[@hager084]

I'm 23....my girlfriends stepdad saw the Allman's in concert....with Duane. Sometimes I with I was born 40 years ago.

[@russellcameronthomas2116]

You probably mean "40 years earlier". To be exact, you'd need to be born 46 years earlier to be at least 16 years old in 1971, the year D.A. died. (Yes, I'm a Boomer)

[@bobstewart5370]

Been loving this song since it was put out. Guitar magician.

[@bazjanagain]

No one ever mentions the vocals. I loved them - but that guitar - man this was Duane's finest. Duane and Peter Greene - that's all your ears and head need,.2 guys who listened to the masters, absorbed and chucked out something better. Oh shit. Duane's killer performance.

[@Shereeee45]

His vocals are just down right "SEXY" !!!! Paired with his guitar this is just, like you said, his finest!!!!

[@suitman36]

the vocals on this song are boz scaggs.....not duane.

[@olfartdrummin8627]

stew kupperman it's DUANE on vocals.

[@suitman36]

nope. it's not. it is boz scaggs. duane is only playing guitar. duane rarely sang on anything. he only sang a couple of songs, early in his career. go look at the album....and check the performers on the cut. you'll see it's boz scaggs on vocals.

[@stargazer6753]

That is Duane most definitely.

[@websurfer99]

39 years ago today, RIP Duane. You may be gone but your music will live on forever. Best there ever was.

[@dougg1729]

This belongs in a museum.....or if you look up blues in Websters it should say "see Duane's Goin Down Slow"

[@Shereeee45]

I like your attitude dude...it does indeed belong in a museum. But glad we have it to listen too.

[@esoteric5277]

It should be manditory listening in every school, church & halfway house!

[@esoteric5277]

Not to mention Congress, Senate & White House!

[@esoteric5277]

just lost my mandate for misspelling :P

[@esoteric5277]

not that I ever wanted to date a man ... but if I were a woman, Duane would've been my man!
