I loved that song since 1973 when i was in school radio station and that masterpiece was on the air. I bought the album the day after. One of the 10 albums i brought if i was in the moon for the rest of my life.

Duane Allman solo take you on a journey through life

"Dickey Betts' song!!!" What a tune this was for the band! If Duane had lived on, what incredible depths and heights they would've take this song unto. As it stands this was still an ultimate jam vehicle for not only the Brothers, but for countless other bands. An incredible musical exposition from a truly unique songwriter, Mr. Dickey Betts

The band was not the same after they fired him.

[@allanbriggs9007]

@@michaelfishman3976 I disagree

[@codybluetarp]

The perfect song to bring forth The Allman Brother's Band that liked to dream, and so did we. I like the way Duane, Dickie, Gregg, Berry Oakley, Jamoe and Butch Trucks took turns here with some incredibly orchestral Riffs, and the hinterlands and river valleys that work their way through them. Around starting at 3:46 i remind myself that this is part of the theory of a certain unity that stands forth as a general description of the particular. And with the relation in mind and in hearing with you this iconic performance of Music, best wishes to all who cherish the reminder of when we were 21 and were learning what certain themes are like. This version of "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is by far the most musically explorative song that comes to mind. That's how it is when you're in the moment, and this song is that. A great performance of a great song.

One of their all time best recordings of such a beautiful song......

Fillmore east top version...but this really good

[@TheMfmccarthy]

There's such sadness in some of these notes. Maybe I'm projecting, but I hear so much loss in there

[@anatorres-ym8ke]

dickey solo was very sad and duanes was explosive

[@codybluetarp]

Sadness is one characteristic that comes with awareness. i grew up then. it's great to hear it here, especially as a musician. this is the real thing.

[@randallbrown3317]

I believe at the 2:36 mark Dickey breaks a string! And at 3:45 comes back in. Notice the short little solo by Greg? Duane waits for Dickey to come back and do his solo. Then at 11:51 Duane takes off!!!

[@LordYisusCraist]

if this is music, what are we listening to nowadays?

[@benvyule779]

Nope Filmore East blows this version away.

[@TheGuitarMan71]

Cmon this was insane, string break included. I’d agree that the Fillmore version is tighter.

[@greg7129]

The Grooviest band and music ever since I was old enough to know better !
