42 years ago.. Berlin Airlift, RFK Stadium Washington DC.. Nobody knew who the Allman Bros. were.. We were there for Grand Funk Railroad.. Coming out, they ripped into Statesboro Blues, the whole stadium got up, shaking the place to the foundation! From there they went to Miami.. Eric Clapton was in the front row at their show, went back stage, invited them to the "Layla" sessions.. The rest is history.. We miss you brother...

Actually he was far from under-rated in his time, he was highly sought after for session work apart from his band, starting when he was 19 or 20, he played with big names on their records. His time with the ABB is still talked about today as one of The Greats - he had The Gift

Gary Rossington is right there with him. Duane's the one that tought Gary. Skynyrd also had Steve Gaines who was a hell of a guitar man. Check out his slide solo during T for Texas. Theres a live black and white full concert summer 77 and Steve let's em have it.

[@digitalboomer]

@@twiztidlife66 : JW was a huge influence on me as a guitar player. Very different styles, Duane and Johnny. Both influenced by Elmore James of course. Johnny used a thumb pick ( because Chet Atkins did) and a metal slide because Johnny said it was "nastier', Duane used a glass coriciden bottle and because it is glass it is much mellower and sweet. Johnny was also a lightning fast standard electric guitar player, much more so than Duane, however Duane's 'voicing' was superb, and in Statesboro blues, you can hear Duane use the 'question answer technique' which is in this case, the vocalist singing something and the slide guitar answers the phrase, so Duane's 'voicing' was sublime . Glad I grew up when I did... Johnny and Duane were certainly the best slide guitar players of their time, and indelible in music history. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5TPg52mqbyfjZo

[@twiztidlife66]

I would not have made it out of have made out of my young adult life. If it wasn't for the Allman Brothers. I'm here rocking still.

[@carolallegrezza503]

i wanna go back in time, maybe to relive just a half a day, when i was playing this song over and over again. still gives me chills. reminds me and makes me think of memories i cant say on here......

[@jblcva]

Honey they ain't no going back..If there was i would be there...

[@carolallegrezza503]

jblcva i'd be there , too. but my memories stay with me forever.

[@jblcva]

Carol Allegrezza So true, nobody can touch them..

jblcva one of the only things we have in life, that are truly untouchable...our memories.

[@kevinbrown8152]

Carol Allegrezza thanks for the comment on the song, we've all got those special memories. The bands of the 70's.............can't do it any better.

I am so glad Derek Trucks continues in Duanes memory

[@1988WHISKY]

This song is fantastic! Duane was amazing, one of the best guitarists of the world, no doubt about it

[@gilkenson53]

And to think Duane went on in a few months after Berlin Airlift and played on the 'Layla" lp with Derek and the Dominos (my fav LP of all time..) that August 1970..

[@joefriedman9843]

Not trying to start any of those pointless arguments here, just saying. My room mates bought Led Zeppelin II, I bought the first Allman Brothers album. That was it for Led Zeppelin.

[@yucchhiiowwee]

ed f ...If anyone starts an arguement with you over how YOU feel about the music you like, that person(s) is a total idiot. Personally, I love MUSIC...(Old School music). Hell, there were a few songs in the 60s & 70s that I did NOT like and with the garbage out there nowadays, I even appreciate the stuff I DIDN'T like then.

[@gregpalermo3861]

Yep

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Saw him play three times before he passed..... I'm that old ....he was my inspiration to learn to play guitar...... Dickie too ......still play today

[@markdavis3905]

Heard a concert of them on the King Buscuit Flour Hour, man 72 or 73. It's foggy.

[@ericanderson8886]

one of the best intro songs of all time, Duane was amazing

[@mudnducs]

Incredible performance by the entire band

[@stevelongobardi6870]

The greatest electric slide player ever.....still. Duane set the standard from which every slide player is judged.

[@SGTJDerek]

Derek Trucks is a student of the Slide too. One of if not the best since Duane. And just like Duane, no ego when he plays with others. Watch him on stage with John Myers, The King, His Wife Susan. The pure joy they have playing together. John gets a bad rap but he's good and you can see him studying Derek when he plays.

[@jacobparson1677]

Trucks good also

[@robertcrabtree4843]

Lowell George was pretty fantastic also

[@thomaslasch567]

Slide fans, check out Sonny Landreth. You won't regret it.

You ain’t kidding Steve. Amazing to think what he would have done in 5, 10, or even 50 years?

[@sandrasmith7501]

Robert..I too had the honor of seeing them as well. It was in Dec. of 1969 just after the release of their first album, which hadn't been favorably accepted by a lot of ignorant folk, except for Rolling Stone magazine. The ticket to the show was my birthday present. The show was at a small auditorium in Georgetown, Ky. When we arrived at the one and only door , there was no one there to even take our tickets!. We walked to the front row, which was maybe 4 feet from this small stage and sat down in these wooden chairs. They walked on stage and proceeded to tear it slap down with their unmistakable sound! They played as if they were playing to hundreds of people, though there were only MAYBE 75 people there!!! After playing Trouble No More and Don't Want You No More and on and on for at least a couple of hours, they took a break, walked to the back of that little stage and sat down on the floor to partake of drink and weed, just as we were. No one around who objected. After a few minutes, they came back up front and played for another hour. Un- believable evening, so incredible I recall it as if it were yesterday! We watched them leave that snowy night in the back of a station wagon. The next year, they were playing at Fillmore East and were finally beginning to get the recognition they so deserved. The following year, Duane was gone. The year after that, Berry was gone....in the same way and in almost the same location. Tragic times.. That first album that was so ignored in 1969, was remixed, re released in 1973 I think, and sold over 500,000 copies. And to think, only 4 years earlier, I experienced The Allman Brothers...Gregg, Duane, Dickie, Berry and Butch.... live.... on a small stage in Georgetown, Ky!! Once in a lifetime experience and best birthday present EVER!!!

[@carolallegrezza503]

lost count of how many times we played this song. lived on Long Island, NY, way back then and had a direct RR line to madison square garden. We were always stoned, the Garden was always packed and full of smoke, and the Allmans , always put on a great show. great live..love the guitar solos

[@anthonyblakey96]

YOU WAS CRYIN THE BLUES

[@carolallegrezza503]

pure , unadulterated, blues, only the way the allman brothers band could do.

[@carolallegrezza503]

ANTHONY BLAKEY yes

[@jeffdubuque5699]

sounds like good times, and I love a good guitar solo by the way.

[@carolallegrezza503]

so glad someone else can relate to and remember what im talking about with going to see a concert at the Garden. Always will be the best times of my life. would love to relive one of those concerts there again.
