@@AirplayBeats See the "Tom Dowd and the Language of Music" documentary. He recorded this and most of their stuff and was a big influence on their career. He called ABB a blues/jazz band, and called Marshall Tucker a country/jazz band. He put Clapton and Duane together and recorded Layla. Wait'll you see just who all he recorded, before he even met these guys. A Whos-Who of great artists. Fascinating man. Fascinating doc.

Thank You Guys. Yes it’s Dickey & Dwayne trading licks throughout the song. This Song Is The DNA of The Allman Brothers Band. And I remind you this is recorded live at The Fillmore 1971. Theirs no auto tune. Just some righteous brothers plugging in and playing their hearts out. And to answer who is Elizabeth Read. Dickey was at the cemetery. Paying his respects. And passed a head stone that said In Memory of Elizabeth Read. I’m 61 guys I’ve been up and down all the music you guys are discovering. Yes the music from my generations much better than anything that’s put out today . I Thank You Both ❤

From Wikipedia "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" was inspired by a woman Betts was involved with in the group's hometown of Macon, Georgia. She was the girlfriend of musician Boz Scaggs, with Betts later saying she "was Hispanic and somewhat dark and mysterious-and she really used it to her advantage and played it to the hilt."[4] To cloak her identity, the composition is named after a headstone Betts saw at the Rose Hill Cemetery, where band members often ventured in their early days to relax and write songs.[4]

Elizabeth Reed was a women from Macon Ga who died in the 1930's and had a tombstone in the cemetery that the band hung out and practiced. This is actually in memory of Boz Scaggs' girlfriend whom Dickey was in love with. But Boz was friends with the band and they didn't want to hurt the relationship so Dickey named it after a lady on a tombstone.

This song was written by Dickey Betts. He wrote it in a graveyard in Macon, Georgia. On one ofthe tombstones was written "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed". That is how the song got it's title. Elizabeth Reed was a woman who was born in the 1840s, I believe. She died long ago, but she was real person. Today Gregg Allman, Duane Allman, Berry Oakley, and Butch Trucks are all buried in this same cemetery in Macon, Georgia. It is called Rose Hill Cemetery.

I saw them first when I was 14, just after Duane passed. Berry was still with them. Amazing bass player. Still, to this day, the greatest concert I'd ever been to, and I've been to hundreds since.

One of the reasons this era is so great, is because everything hadn't been done yet, there was still room for pioneers and experimentation. I'm glad you guys heard this one because the all comments were right, you can't really put them into a single category. From here it's easy to imagine how and why Duane worked with so many artists from other genres, especially Jazz.

Hey guys, Ned from Spain here using my wife's account. Thanks for this video. These guys were not only deeply into blues and R n B but Jazz, like Coltrane , Miles , Horace Silver Sonny Rollins, Hancock among others. They were high level musicians who loved the feeling and sound of music, didn't trap themselves in a category and could play anything. One more important thing was their ears, they really heard what their partners were playing, where they were going always ready to support. The biggest problem now is the obsession with fame and money instead of treating music and art like a blessing to be enjoyed and shared.

Playing music in ones home was a way that people entertained themselves, most public schools had free music programs, and more people played music or sang in church.

The mid-60s through the late 70s was a uniquely creative time that was made by an incredible confluence of influences. The parents of us Boomers had been through the Great Depression and WW II. Then we had the somewhat severe repression of the 50s and a concurrent economic boom. The Civil Rights Movement hit its stride and then there was the Vietnam War. Rock n Roll music was born in the late 50s and became more and more popular with my generation, even though ‘adults’ tried to discourage and repress it. The way to be a cool cat was to learn to play guitar or drums and start a garage band. In the mid-60s the counter culture/hippie movement started. This music exploded out of all those influences and then helped feed the movements pushing for civil rights (farmworkers, gay, Hispanic, anti-colonialism and feminism civil rights movements followed the Black movement) and to end that dang war in SE Asia. It was a remarkable stew that birthed this music and these musicians. We weren’t as stuck on what genre was being played. "It’s all rock n roll to me" sort of embodied the attitude. If it grooved, we moved. If it spoke to us, we listened and asked for more. I don’t know the answer to why today’s music seems to be so much lesser, although there still are some excellent musiciians making damn good music out there, but technology seems to be partitioning people off into separate tribes of "oh, I only listen to K-POP or hip hop or hard rock or country or R&B or, or, or". There was less separation and more cross-pollination back then. That’s part of why there was more creativity. Diversity *does* make a positive difference.

Saw them with Duane, summer 1971-I can't describe the musicality of this band. Set list: Don't Keep Me Wondering; Done Somebody Wrong; One Way Out (that would be a great one to hear from this album); In Memory of Elizabeth Reed; You Don't Love Me; Whippin Post; Revival and Dimples. You can tell who is playing the solo on this album because Duane is in the left ear (he is left on stage as you look) and Dickey in in the right ear-assuming you have your headphones on correctly.

This is off their album "Idlewild South" and there are two well-known songs on this album, which is one of my favorite albums (lol) this song "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "Midnight Rider" which is 🔥fire also. Dickey Betts was the oldest member of the band when they formed in 1969. He shared lead guitar duties with band founder and leader Duane Allman, he went on to have a successful solo career. Dickey and Gregg Allman had a very bad falling out, I believe it was something like 15 years or more. But thankfully they patched things up right before Gregg passed away. Duane Allman became heavily influenced by Miles Davis, earlier in his career, Duane was part of the band like the "Hourglass" and "The Allman Joys." some blues artists that Duane was inspired by were T-Bone Walker (The classic Stormy Monday Live at Fillmore East is a T-Bone Walker song from 1948), BB King (He inspired every single blues guitarist you've ever heard of) 😏 and "Taj Mahal" (His recordings inspired Duane to pick up the slide) and of course the legendary Albert King (who also was SRV's mentor too.) I truly enjoyed that one guy's, thanks so much for the memories🎸💖🎶👍🤗

I grew up in the 60's/70's. I started playing guitar in my 50's. I'm 67 now. I appreciate that I can go on YT and find lessons on here. It's great, but it's still slow. Maybe it's harder to teach an old dog new tricks. So, naturally I'm amazed that guys like Duane, (24 when he died) or the Beatles, in their 20's when they landed on this planet, and did what they did. I never got it! Now I know how they did it. They just did it! They took the instruments, pounded the pavement, from club to club, made huge mistakes, and just lived it, until they perfected their craft. At first, they lifted the arm off the vinyl a thousand times until their ear understood what it heard, got together with the boys, in the daytime, and went out at night and tested it in all the clubs..They weren't sitting around in front of a computer, or TV. They LIVED IT! It's the only way to get this good. We'll never see another time like that, I'm afraid. Simply not enough clubs to hone your craft. Sad.

Dickie is a master of playing solos that include minor and augmented tonalities over major chord progressions. Switching seamlessly between standard pentatonic scale licks and heavily extended "jazz" scales like it's just normal everyday $h1t. You're used to that with jazz horn players, Miles & Coltrane come to mind, but is not normal coming from hippie good ol' boys, especially in the 70's. And Gregg was one of the best "organist" in any genre. I put him up there with Winwood, Wakeman & Wright, not to mention his vocals sounding like a 60 year old Black Blues Journeyman when he was still in his teens. Allmans definitely one of my favorite bands to cover. Have played Sweet Melissa and One Way Out for decades. Was only in 1 band that had the skills and balls to cover this one though. Way back in 88-89. Same band also did Jessica. Both a blast to play but you GOTTA play them pretty much sober, because if 1 person gets lost, the whole sound is F'd.

How can a band play so smooth and intense at the same time, usually those two things don't go together but they make it happen

Our 3 boys took music lessons when they were younger. I was talking to my son's guitar teacher about music. He was early 20's. I said he should listen to this song. He said he heard it for the first time 3 weeks prior and hasn't stopped listening to it over and over and over. That was 10 years ago. Wonder if he's still listening to it? Lol. GREAT SONG!!!!

It was sometimes difficult to tell which guitarist was playing but after years of listening to them I can usually tell. Dickie Betts wrote the tune. He is the first featured guitar lead. Greg does his organ lead. Then Duane blasts the walls open with the second guitar.

So glad you guys reacted to this one, I strongly recommended it, on one of your previous ABB videos. There's something special about this song, I still get goosebumps every time I hear it... ABB definitely can't be pigeonholed, stylistically. Another instrumental masterpiece of theirs is "Les Brer in A minor"..

Hey, I really appreciate your recognition of the Allman Brothers music and talents. I was in my last year of high school when I caught wind of them and have been a devoted fan ever since, for their earlier stage music up until the mid 70s. Its so good to know another generation is recognizing their good stuff and contribution!

You guys rock!! The Bros remind me of a Southern Santana. This band would play over their time limit and the Events would shut the power off. At one the crowd protested and they turned the power back on.

Sounds like the same Allman Bros. style to me. This is a great song too. Duane and Dickey on guitar. Elizabeth Reed's name was on a headstone in Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, Georgia where they often wrote songs.

Great live album Filmore East album Mountain Jam is 34 minutes long jam lol plug in headphones on and chill. They were together 45 years 69 to 2014. For a country sound when guitarist Dickey Betts is lead singer you really get country rock. Check out Blue Sky and Crazy Love

My favorite song on the album. And it’s a great album! I played this a MILLION times in my room as a teenager. It helped form my musical ear. Another awesome selection and so glad you dig it as much as I do. Shame we lost Duane and Butch so early, but the band kept it going for years. Loving this channel. (BTW, it’s two drummers. But someone prolly pointed that out already). Keep doing this!!! Love the channel!

You guys would love Tedeschi Trucks Band considered the best jam band touring today. Derek Trucks nephew of Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks. He began opening for Allman Brothers at 11yrs old. Joined Allman Brothers around 14-15. Anything since 1995 Derek Trucks plays Duane's slide solo's. Eric Clapton has said he channels Duane into his guitar work. Derek met his wife Susan Tedeschi when she was opening for Allman Brothers she just a couple of days ago was given award by Smithsonian Institute. Susan earned a Bachelor's degree from Berkeley University school of music @ 20 yrs old. Spent her 20's touring with BB King, Buddy Guy, Mellencamp and Allman Brothers. When Bob Dylan heard her as a teen he invited her to play during his set. 12 piece band that stays true to their root influences, mixed in with current jams. New release of 4 disc set, 24 new songs. "I AM THE MOON" 30 years of music history with Tedeschi Trucks Band. Grammy for Blue's album of the year 2012 "REVELATOR". Also greatly influenced by Stevie Ray, and Janis Joplin you will see that here. "I PITY THE FOOL" for Buddy Guy's birthday kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHXNpXVmi8dsZrc

Aren’t they great? Master musicians telepathically connected. Another Dickey Betts song I like, although it’s slow to get going, is “Les Brers In A minor” from ‘Eat A Peach’. It starts from nothing, they feel their way through, and then suddenly Berry Oakley tears into an incredible bass riff and they’re off. By the time it ends a couple minutes later I’m swearing they’re geniuses.
