The Allman Brothers Band - You Don't Love Me (Stonybrook, NY, 9-19-71)

[@ericm4815]

Berry Friggin Oakley. Can somebody just admit how great of a bassist he was?

[@williamcook1117]

Absolutely

[@markcorley]

The best ever

[@impala327]

He was off the charts and a huge part of their improvised sections: giant melody lines

[@ronayotte3571]

He was one with Butch and Jaimo!

[@johnhy27]

B.O. was the best bassist He would climb too the top of heaven. Meet him all the back down at zero and play bass as a 3rd guitarist Only bassist that talk to Duane the the tractor

[@american_psycho1147]

#1 in my opinion.

[@XxSkydog71xX]

The jam at 8:18 is absolutely incredible and funky af. Just shows Duane and the band’s genius spontaneity

[@J.C...]

Whoa. I was born 10 yrs and 1 day after this was recorded. Hard to believe Duane had only been gone for 9 years at that point. My daughter was killed 9 years ago, in 2014. It really puts things into perspective. As a kid, 1971 felt so long ago. But now, 9 yrs feels like yesterday. So I sort of understand how my Dad felt. It was still very fresh. Even st 9 yrs later. We miss you, Duane! 😭❤️

[@gregborror745]

Now THIS is the Allman Brothers. Rock on and rest in peace guys!

[@petestegler2227]

Loved this band from the moment I heard them! I'm from Stonybrook/Setauket and didn't start going to concerts until the following year. Bummed that I missed this. My first show was Hot Tuna the next year, and off I went. Thanks for sharing this!!

Best live Band i ever seen.........And in the early 70's i seen them all.

Saw them seven times but never with duane! Great live as was jeff beck group, boz scaggs, tull , zeppy, grand funk, floyd, yes, manassas, . I could go on and on.

[@VuksaVelickovic]

You can easily miss it but at the ending you can hear Duane playing his "Layla" riff at 24:00

[@J.C...]

He got it from another song. I think possibly a Hank Williams song. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry or something, IIRC. God he was incredible. 😭

[@judygirl3102]

G-d This is so great!

[@aturogs1954]

This date, I heard this version for the first time. All I ever heard was the Fillmore live version since it came out on radio stations locally. I am amazed at the clarity of the recording since those times, live sound recording was a bit "crude" compared to today's technology. Almost came close to today's standards. I say that because I can hear every nuance that Duane and Dickey does with their guitars, although the drum parts are quite inaudible. The version is an equal to the Fillmore version. Dynamic and intense.

[@bobbynoe1]

Well, it's longer, but surely not equal to the Fillmore version, though it's another proof of the greatness of this band.

[@markcorley]

Incredible, thanks

[@kevinallison2227]

Better version than Fillmore and I Love that version

[@r2ndp]

Way better!!

[@golfhound]

Dayne Peachman, thank you for loading this. Especially since the sound quality is quite good for a bootleg. Many thumbs up!

[@michaelcraig9449]

Awesome. Holy Chrome! I never got to see them, saw lots of bands, but never them, bummer. At least we have these great recordings to listen to. Even they were all great at solos, it was always about the songs, there was always a musical grove of some kind happening. A lot of these shredders now, they go for speed and all that, but they dont have any creative soul about them like Duane and the band, just a totally different thing.

[@rickolson7775]

great board mix . picture is great too. I have Les Paul just like Duane's.

[@patricksmith8783]

He used one in the first year of the Allmans, some of the Eat A Peach sessions (!) and in the 90s.

[@michaelcraig9449]

Should have been the other way around.. Allman Brothers were way better. So sick of that damn Clapton, most over rated musician ever. Cant stand that damn Clapton. Most boring concert I ever saw. Half the crowd left by the halfway point. It was so sleepy and quiet, no energy, no life, like all the air had left the room. Duane, Dickey, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore, Frank Marino, Hendrix, Stevie Ray, .. 100 times better than Clapton.

I saw them at the fairgrounds also. An estimated 30,000 others poured in. Fences were crashed, they only expected about 10,000. Dickey got a shock and was pissed but it was a great show. I’ve got a copy of it on reel.

Now, about the photo. I like it too, but people are asking me which guitar Duane is playing because of it. Yes, I have sent a bunch of people (who don't read everything the way I do) here to hear your find, and everyone is blown away...I do not know what guitar he is playing, do you? Anybody?

[@uncasist]

I do believe it was the '58 Tobacco Sunburst Les Paul that Billy Gibbons gave him in '71. Phenomenal tone, Eh? Here is a link: www.duaneallman.info/duaneallmanstonequest.htm

[@19tractor52]

The guitar in the pic was a few years earlier, it is a black LP CUSTOM, you can tell by the fret markers, I have seen this pic before, but never any explanation why he was using a CUSTOM--never heard nor saw it again. At Stoneybrook--just a month and 10 days before he died, he was mostly likely playing the Tobacco Burst==it had the hottest pickups of his 3 LPs--he used his Goldtop on Layla, and within about a month had taken the pickups out of Goldie and installed them into the Cherryburst fall of 1970---he used the Cherryburst till I think I read about June of 1971 when he acquired the Tobacco Burst, which had the hot pups. For me, Duane's the one.

[@chrishill1073]

uncasist Thanks for the info. It was pretty cool. Duane was searching for that unique sound. Experimental trials, made him and Dickey Bett's one of a kind sounds

[@MMcG25]

@@19tractor52 The thing that struck me was the other guitar in the photo. Did Dicky Betts play a a Strat back in the day? I'm so used to envisioning him in a cowboy hat playing a Les Paul. Great photo to go with this song.

[@gregward3264]

​@@MMcG25 I have seen picks of Dicky with that sunburst, described as a 1954..occasionally you'll see his son Duane playing it or one like it...I don't know if it's the same one that Dickey gave to Billy Joe Shaver's son Eddy....check out that guy. He was also an off the scale master.

Thank you for uploading this. IMO this is as good or better than Fillmore East. Duane could play a song 100 times and it come out different 100 times. Actually, they never really played a concert. It was more an improvised jam session.

[@terrenceshields4797]

[@Mellevaelslide]

More and fastest notes are Duane's, always... Also a dirtier sound. Dickey played less notes but with more elegancy, more melodic too

[@chipurBillWhite]

First time I’ve heard this cut. That second break is tricky. Sure sounds like Duane when it starts, but then you know it’s Dickey.

[@ChenrezigProject]

[@danw5785]

Really shows off Dickie's improv skills and that he was perhaps more creative in a live setting that Duane. Betts plays a much wider variety of licks and really leads the band on the 2nd half of this song.

[@ericfischer996]

I always loved Dickie's playing, and I don't see why he isn't held in as much reverence as Duane.

[@peterjenks3265]

Hi Dayne You continue to outdo yourself with these releases. I've always maintained YDLM is the perfect forum for The Allmans to just let 'er rip. This is an outstanding version. Just love how Berry and Duane step right in after I'm guessing Dickey breaks a string or two. Thank you for circulating and sharing your music.
