Losing Duane and Jimi was a major loss for the rock world.

[@paulbalintsr.4428]

Most people just don"t realize what a masterpiece this performance is. It should be entered in the Library of Congress as pure American classic music. Footage of Duane playing live is rare and needs safekeeping for future generations.

My cousin married in New Orleans, I want to say in 1968 outside of City Park Stadium and the Allman Brothers were playing. They invited all the wedding memebrs to their concert. It was the first time I ever heard of them and have been a huge fan ever since. I was very lucky in life to see them 12 times.

[@NolalanD]

They played NOLA a lot. A couple times impromptu on the Fly behind Audubon Zoo . My dad saw them at a venue called the Warehouse. Such tasteful players. Glad my dad turned me onto this when I was still in short pants because it started a life long love of music and guitars.

I've never understood why fans...followers of ABB insist on going back and forth about who is better than whom. Does it really matter?!?

[@dankowalski6925]

It is for most of us😊

[@Bubbette23]

It matters. The Allman Brothers without Duane were a cover band. They degraded what Duane achieved. There was no replacing Duane. He arranged all the songs, wrote the solos and had incredible ears trained at FAME. Duane Allman BB greatest of all time. Greg Allman BB was rated at 50 in list of bands. Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell hire a black guitarist and tour as the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Same thing with Duane.

[@spankduncan1114]

Two drummers as one...

[@6teezkid]

In 13 months after this concert, Duane would be gone and a year after that, Barry would be gone. Both crashed on their motorcycles within a mile of same spot of road and buried next to each other. Barry never had a day of peace, unable to get over Duane's death. After all these decades, it all still breaks my heart. They had only just begun. Their music got me thru my late teens, they showed me what real music was and were a direct influence on what I loved to listen to ever since. Each band member had top-shelf musicianship. Now Gregg is buried with them. Was wonderful that after so many years, he got clean, kept on with his music and helped others. He was a very grateful sober man.

[@oonojoe]

I've said this on other ABB post's but I got Clean and Sober in 1993 Listening repeatedly to this music. I Love it more now 30 years later than at any other time in My life.

So the death of Hendrix would have been a heavy and fresh reality in the hearts and minds of these fellow true musicians.

And the same canned beat on all of it. Now, take "we can work it out" from the Beatles. It has 3 different time signatures and a key change within a 3&1/2 minute song. Within that short time span, it takes you on a little musical journey, and back home again like a good composition should do.

One thing I rarely see amongst the comments is the observation that this was a time of fertile cross pollination between many genres. Folk, electric, country, jazz, soul were being blended by Miles, Sly, Jimi, the Byrds after Gram joined were progenitors of what became country rock. The late 60’s were a volatile magical time and the early 70’s extended it. These guys got back together and began their long stand of shows at the Beacon and night after night, they were like Duke Ellingtons band, playing the repertoire just a little different, sometimes a lot different in the solos and order of who played first. Seeing this footage just reminds me of how much we lost after Duane rode into the sunset. Shalom

as much of an impact that duane and dickey's twin lead guitar stuff had on the sound of their music, the absolute powerhouse freight train that was butch and jaimoe had every bit as much an impact on the sound of this band. There aren't very many drummers who you could identify with no other musical context, but you can instantly identify this drum section as butch and jaimoe without any doubt. The ABB simply would not be what it was without those two back there laying a rock solid foundation on every tune. That sound they had was incredible even just by itself, but paired with the rest of the top notch musicians in that band it became even more alive and powerful. There has not ever been a drumming duo quite like those two.

@@1viridis I also recommend checking out Bill Kreutzman’s drumming in the Grateful Dead from 1972. He had a totally unique and jazzy style that is every bit as cool as Butch and Jaimoe, imo. Billy is right up there with Butch and Jaimoe for sure.

One of the best phycadelic jams of all times! Is it blues,jazz,rock? It is simply the genius of The Allman Brothers!! RIP brother Greggg,

It’s a healthy mix of Blues, Southern Rock, and Psychedelic Rock

found myself wishing this song would never end.

[@Gnofg]

If you go listen to 9/19 from Stonybrook they played 2 songs for the second set. Dreams and Elizabeth Reed. I was directly under Duane for both songs.

[@bigdawg1758]

1970 what a year. God blessed us with the gift called the Allman Brothers Band. Duane was the angel to what God called the prophet. I was 13 that year. My sister was going to this show. I wanted to go so bad it hurt. Things eventually worked out very well and I had the pleasure of seeing them at Watkins Glen in 73. Me and 600,000 strong. Tripped right thru it. Amazing simple amazing.

[@joerectifier]

This still sits perfectly and sounds great after 54 years….notice that there are no dancers, choreography or bullshit…..just great music performed by cutting edge musicians - songs that demand to be heard over and over. Duane was 24 when he left is and boy did he leave a huge swath of burned earth in his wake…..a natural and tremendous player that worked inside the the music instead of on top of it - as so many of today “shredder” players do. You could play 1,000 notes per beat at 220 bpm and still Duane wins…..and Dickey then comes and smacks ya around for being a goof. Dickey was also tremendous and in my opinion played even more inside the music and structure with outstanding phrasing

[@paulfuller8985]

These 6 young men were creating a part of American culture and history . Arguably , the Allman Brothers Band were the start of a whole new type of music . American art and a new way of looking at The Blues and the South's, African , American heritage . Rock and Roll had its roots in the South , and ABB made it pure .

[@coolrosco1]

Anyone that argues with that has a problem. lol NO ONE ever approached (this style of music) The ABB at their best in this period.

[@1viridis]

I'd call this blues-jazz fusion. Their own unique style. Incomparable.

Link Wray, a Native American, started the Power Chord for the likes of Pete Townsend and Jim Hendrix; a parallel movement.

I really wish this recording was on the Fillmore East album..... this is the best rendition of Dreams that I can find

[@DavidWilliams-wl6uu]

Agree. I only play this one ...over and over again.

[@paulcudone4642]

Listen to their 71 version from San Francisco. It about 12 mins and Duane soars above the fret board and makes his own notes, simply amazing

The version on Fillmore west in 71 is haunting

[@tamararosecollins1623]

As I was also born in 1964 / my father played this stuff and I love it !!!

[@CasperLCat]

Duane playing slide was like listening to someone’s soul singing, without boundaries or inhibitions. He gave the electric guitar a human voice, a human soul. Whether he was shrieking, or mourning, or announcing his youthful manhood with a kind of swaggering exuberance that was all his own, he sang to all of us thru that instrument, for the ages.

[@adamlink7432]

I can listen to this on repeat. No one speaks though they’re guitar like this.

[@BG4NYC608]

Oh the memories here now as I and my best friend then had snuck into this show. I love my NYC and the early Allman Brother's

[@karenscigliano9787]

Love "snuck into the show"...what a concept!

[@erwinroman4217]

The 3/4 time signature and tempo of Dreams is such a fantastic treat. A Southern rock Waltz.

[@jpalberthoward9]

Amen to that. If you haven't already heard it, see if you can find John Coltrane's version of "My Favorite Things" it's also a triplet 3/4 time feel, and Coltrane takes a very ordinary show tune from "The Sound of Music" and transforms it into something that Rogers and Hammerstein would never have dreamed of in a million years. If you play it, and then listen to "in Memory of Elizabeth Reed" back to back, you'll be pleasantly surprised. You might notice a whole other level of Allman Brother genius. The boys definitely had large ears and well tuned radar.

[@ChrisBarnette-zk8iy]

I know Gregg"s mic failed but damn what an incredible instrumental then.... Duane is the greatest slide guitartist of all time. Miss music like this..
