First saw them in 1971 at The Warehouse in New Orleans. They started playing that night at 9:00 PM. I remember waking up at 2:00 AM and Duane was taking a break to re-string. I walked out of a side door into a blinding Sunday morning sunrise at 5:00 AM and they were still playing. No one like them since. They were Masters of Music.Period.

[@alexfree4329]

I have referred to that as the triumphant return of the guitar since I first listened 25 years ago. At 43 it's still my favorite piece of music I've ever heard. I'm willing to bet that it will never be bested in my mind, and instructions have already been given for this song to play at my funeral.

[@glennkarant6760]

I'm only allowed to say this once in all the millions of KZbin videos that are available to human beings throughout the universe and that is that the guitar work by both of these gentlemen especially Duane will never be surpassed in any lifetime...

I haven't done acid since '98. I hitchhiked from upstate NY to Macon, Ga. I planned on spending a couple of weeks there. I spent almost 2 years there. I was in my 20s. I split with the girl I was staying with and was staying with a "friend" He told me he did a whole sheet at Woodstock 2. One night he asked me if I wanted to dose and I said sure. He ripped off 2 10 strips and said let's do'em. We did. 2 days later I had to call in work cause I was still wiggin' nuts. Shrooms are a gift from the Creator. Can't say I'll always do'em. However, at this stage of the game, can't say I'll quit, either. Shrooms area vital part of getting in touch with the core of the soul. As, I think, all hallucinigenics are. Peace

When I lived in FLA years ago, the CD Jukebox had just gotten to the bars in the area. Eat a Peach was a selection. The regulars hated me when they saw me come in cause they knew the first thing I'd play is Mountain Jam. The bar maid actually shut the CD Jukebox off, cause everyone would complain...lol How anyone could complain after listening to this is still beyond me...One of the greatest Rock tracks to ever grace vinyl..

[@davisonh1]

I know my brother and I used to do that (more than once,lol) at the underground pub that we used to go to, we were like..you know who this band is??? And they'd be like,.Noooo waaay!!!

[@crystalchristianson57]

it was a selection on the juke box at A.J.s fireside café on Lake Wallenpaupack n the Pocono Mtns in Pa, and I wore it out literally playing it so much. There were never any complaints except when city slickers came in from N.J. or N.Y.C., but they were quickly shut down with threat of violent retribution by the locals!!!

Alec Guinness wrote that for him Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 32 was for him the greatest piece of music he knew. "Life, death, all turmoils, sorrows and happiness seem to be resolved whenever I hear it." I suspect most everyone who comes here to listen to Mountain Jam is nodding in complete agreement.

[@ozarkdem]

The best part begins around 23 minutes in. You don't realize how much this part made us cry back then. Hard to say unless you were an AB fan back then. So much was going on. Love having that peace and emotion listening to it today.

[@dollydagger7502]

[@taylorpelletier89]

22:06 is when it starts. I have the Flying Peach on my back and plan to get 22:06 added to it. When the band comes back in at full force it is truly the most amazing piece of music I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. Brings tears to this 32 year olds eyes pretty much every time. Duane's solos on the stretch from 23:43 - 30:05 are out of this world. So much emotion coming out of that guitar. Can't even put it to words. Words can't do that justice - ever.

One of the greatest tracks of all time. Despite the great playing by Duane and Dickie, people tend to overlook the best bass guitar players I have ever heard: Barry Oakley. He provided the bottom for the ABB for all of his years. Thank God for that.

[@Wormtongue13]

Yes! And the drummers-“Jaimoe” Johanson and Butch Trucks-had a freaking telepathic tightness with Berry's bass.

[@FreemanLittle]

Carey Wilson percussion is what drives everyone, bass is part of that as is rhythm. All may play lead parts but the chemistry, sync-ness possessing every song, cannot be matched again.

[@Wormtongue13]

As a performing drummer with about 40 years behind the kit, I agree.

[@MegaCoddfish]

4 sure Tom !

[@MegaCoddfish]

that's for sure!

[@cyberties]

I remember when I first heard this tune. At the 27:30 mark, I expected a soulful blues voice to come in singing and I was BLOWN away to hear that voice in the guise of Duane's guitar. I was hooked from then on. What a fanatastic eargasm!

[@wanderingwade8877]

From an article on Butch Trucks: It was onstage, where the group's ability to meld into one unit - when they were "hitting the note," to use a phrase they said often in the Seventies - was best on display. "Hittin' the note is reaching that point where you can't do any wrong," Trucks once said, according to Skydog."With us, when we're playing music, it's where the brain goes away and the body just does what it's supposed to do, and there's no thought and there's no question, and no matter what you do, it's right. It's getting to that spiritual level where the communication is total, but it's not mental."

[@andrewptob]

The section toward the end (at about 27:22 or so) where Duane plays lead over Dickey's arpeggios is literally the best thing I've ever heard in my life.

[@andrewptob]

+Tom F Probably not; that's Dickey playing that part. ;^)

[@thundergod1298]

+AOB Why is there so much confusion about what's Dickey and what's Duane? I can tell the difference easily and I don't listen to them that much....

[@brauncrw7]

+AOB actually I'm almost positive that's Duane playing. He does a lot of his characteristic double stops and double bends and you can tell he plays continuously through after his slide solo. He uses similar licks in the You Don't Love Me/Soul Serenade cut.

[@andrewptob]

+Erik Braun Yes, Duane is most certainly playing the lead during the section that I referenced in my original comment. There was a reply where someone mentioned a different part that reminded him of Layla, but it was most certainly Dickey playing that part (I don't recall where the guy referenced exactly), but the guy deleted his comment.

[@bornwithoutwarning]

+AOB Hear hear, I couldn't agree more. magic time. but i'd say 27:15. I like those harmonics in the buildup

I turned 62 this year, and if I lived to be 162, I will never tire of listening to EAP and Mountain Jam. Grew up in NE FL and ABB was ingrained into our youth in so many ways. I think each of us pauses and flashes back to a time and event when we hear our ABB song - mine was Mountain Jam. I believe this is what heaven will sound like when I get there. No other words to describe the incredible music and almost reverence for these sounds they made.Had the pleasure / honor of seeing ABB too many times to count in my days and due to forces beyond my control that "went up in smoke", while my memories may be a bit blurred, the effects of listening are not. RIP Skydog and Barry-see ya on the other side down the road.Also, if you're a ABB fan and you ever find yourself near Macon, GA, be sure to stop in at the Big House museum in Macon. Incredible tales and memorabilia that's been displayed there. Easy to spend a few hours looking over the house.

There are numerous stunning moments by the band from this iconic live recording from the 70's. However, even after listening to this song for 44 years, the solo that starts at about 25:47 still gives me the shivers and takes my breath away. In a word " Inspired".

I saw the Allman Brothers at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa) auditorium in 1973. One of my first concerts as a young teenager. Now at 57 I still remember the concert as if were yesterday. No musical acts of today can come close to the great rock bands of the 70's. I feel sorry for the youth of today that missed the great talent and musical legends of rock and roll. Today its all about stage show, back then it was all about musical talent and an ability to make the music come alive.

[@marystandiford178]

The Allman Brothers brought me soo much happiness in the 70's and continue to do so. in 1975 I played them so much I remember my friend? taking the 8 track cassette out of the machine ..throwing it on the floor..smashing it to pieces..all the time asking me if I had enough of The Allman brothers???? I think it was Live at the Fillmore East

[@bagmanh6120]

As a young guy learning how to cook, I use this song to judge how much better I'm getting. "Oh yeah, It only took me a half a Mountain Jam to make lunch for both of us." "I managed to listen to Mountain Jam twice in the time it took to make this pasta. Sausages took longer than expected." "Only took one Mountain Jam to get this plate sorted out"

[@BuzzDailey]

This came out right after I returned from a tour in Vietnam. The first time I heard it realized where the title came from.....Donavon's classic hit "First There Was a Mountain". Of course, the Allman Brothers added much more to it and made it a classic rock hit. Eat A Peach was an awesome album, my friends.

[@u89worlds]

I must say, this recording deepened my appreciation for instrumental music, and for that I will always be grateful. Duane Allman's slide guitar solo after the bass feature, halfway through the piece was the first wordless music to make me shed a tear. Jaimoe and Butch Trucks are extraordinary throughout and opened my mind to jazz and the full texture of what drums sets can conjure. Gregg Allman's playing is supportive like a beautiful persian rug in a majestic, opulent room. Dickey Betts reaching on guitar, huge ears and his tone is wonderful. He is so underrated. The perfect foil and partner to Duane. Berry Oakley on bass with that big felt pick....moving it all along while being melodic and funky. Exquisite. I can't be objective about it. I will listen to it in it's entirety while cleaning the kitchen and making dinner for later. thanks and praises

[@ScottieMacF]

That slide solo, at least the tail end of it, is Will the Circle Be Unbroken - an old traditional country-ish song.

[@allanbriggs9007]

RIP. GREGG I came to the Allman bros late in life - very sad. Another one of the greats has died. There will never be another music era like the one we have been through. Changed our lives.

[@thomaswinfree3131]

Eat a Peach -- side 4 is some of the best guitar music ever recorded. Duane Allman and Dicky Betts were so in sync with each other when they were performing that it was as though they had rehearsed every riff before taking the stage; but it was all spontaneous improvisation. They had played together live for so long, they intertwined their guitar riffs effortlessly. Duane had already found his drummer, Jaimo, and was trying to lure Berry Oakley away from Jacksonville's " The Second Coming", but Oakley would not join Duane's band without Dicky Betts, the guitarist for The Second Coming. We are all fortunate that Berry Oakley stood his ground and brought these two guitar giants together. Long live the music of the Allman Brothers !!

[@otherworld11]

Not only was Duane Allman a savant virtuoso, he told stories with his guitar, which separated him from just about every other great guitarist.

[@Dogdrum]

I remember listening to this when I was 14. My dad brought home this album. He actually had on vinyl but it didn't last so he got the CD copy of it. The whole 33 minutes of this jam, my mouth was opened, my eyes staring at the sound system in a trance, my ears clinging on to and savouring every note. It's the only mega-extended jam I know of that never bored me for even one second from start to finish.

[@garynewman2935]

The way Duane says “THANK YOU” in his solo. 50 years later still brings tears.

[@pbedwards1]

american music. don't you just love it? this was the pinnacle of the blues soul jazz rock band whatever you feel like calling it electric guitar drums bass and keyboards dancing and tripping and psychic wandering kind of music. and all it ever said was groove. the message. as it is and ever shall be. just groove man. bring it down from the mountain to the street and slide it down the alley to the jook joint so we can dance all night to the sound of the water and the trees in the dark with our friends and our lovers and forget the city. a dedication to the peace and tranquility of our original soul using the tools at their disposal to the best of their ability god bless them, the Allman Brothers Band.

[@jamesposter7072]

How about we just all enjoy the incredible music, that this band has given us. Duane,Eric,J.Page,J.Hendrix,J.Beck, Santana, Wow we were so lucky. Enjoy it

[@snarkyob]

It's like going to church. Redemption.

[@MegaCoddfish]

21:00 - 30:00 may be the BEST 9 minutes of pure RnR ever put down on record. No studio "help", no redubs or retakes... just nine minutes of the best music I have ever heard. I thought so 40 years ago when I first bought "Eat a Peach" and I still think so today.

[@richrich411]

Greatest live recording EVER!!!

[@jp0308]

I've never had the opportunity to ride a cloud but jammin' with the Allman Brothers is the next best thing...... ah yes, smooth groove.......roll that number and pass it along but don't bogart it.......

[@drmwm1]

An amazing thing about this recording is that band members have said this was not one of their best performances of the song (Butch says he thinks it was one of the worst!), but that it was the only one they had with Duane on it. Duane's emotional transition in the midst of his solo at 3:33 is iconic.

[@lucychinadoll]

God how I love this! been listening to this for....what, 50years.....but I will never be old, music keeps me young...so glad I was from this generation, best music all day long.....

[@Payne427]

My mom has a huge collection of albums and this was in the stack. I bought the CD for my truck because I kept listening to it over and over.

[@rutherfordBHAZED]

WHAT A GREAT BAND!!! RIP DUANE, BERRY, BUTCH, GREGG, LAMAR, DANGEROUS DAN!!!

[@TheGuitarMan71]

Dan Toler was an absolute badass

[@stevenbagnasco8582]

THANK GOD!!! ROCK N ROLL STILL LIVES,, ITS THE MAIN STREAM TO MY LIFE!!! THE ALLMAN BROTHERS KEEPS IT ALIVE!!!!!

[@Msboboliciios]

My favorite band and the one I have seen the most times, I am so lucky to be a part of a generation that has the best music. This is so awesome, no music today can come close to it. Named my 1st daughter after Crossroads. "Sweet Melissa"

[@felixgomez3603]

Never get tired of hearing this CD. Love the music. Love Mountain Jam. Best half hour of music I have heard. If you haven't heard it LISTEN TO IT and enjoy. Love the drum solo.

[@Arbeedubya]

Actually a duet. Very enjoyable though.

[@geoffreybidlack8399]

How can a jam play so perfectly? I don’t think anyone could perfect this piece so well as this, or was there some influence from above that brought this together so well. Anyone with music appreciation listening to this is truly blessed.

[@taylorpelletier89]

microdosing mushrooms every concert probably helped... they took capsules of ground up shrooms daily from what I read in SkyDog.

[@jrvp1124]

duane allman was the greatest side ever. listen to him and boz scaggs on loan me a dime

[@MrJose0569]

One of the best musics ever recorded.This is......wordless.

[@StormTrysail]

This was my favorite music when we would take off to the Mountains to spend a few days getting back to what really mattered. Spending time with a few good friends and taking in the best that Mother Nature has to offer. The seven mile ride into Roaring Brook at Baxter State Park (Mount Katahdin) in Maine was just long enough to listen to the whole Jam! I'll never forget growing up in the Seventies and how lucky we were in having some of the best music ever.

[@jag15301]

I did it Saturday night at a social club to which I am a member of. All these people OLDER than me were playing hip/hop, rap kinda of stuff, and were really being annoying, so I played Mtn. Jam, followed by Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull. I totally killed the vibe in the joint. Other patrons thanked me for playing those too songs which took over an HOUR to play!!

[@paullarocca2115]

27:00 the best lullaby I ever heard.

[@MDavidG1]

In 1974 I was thirteen and rode my bicycle about eight miles to a Woolco Department Store on a Canadian early spring day, and I bought the only vinyl copy of Eat A Peach they had. I knew they had one in stock, and had been saving up my money to buy it. It was quite a bike ride home carrying that LP in a paper bag on that blustery day. I knew absolutely nothing about life at that age, but I did know about great music, having been turned on to the ABB Fillmore East record by my older brother the year before. Being that young, I think perhaps it took a couple years for me to fully appreciate the the absolute brilliance of the entire Eat A Peach album, but since then I doubt I've gone a whole week without playing it. Words fail me in conveying how deeply this music touches my soul. It saddens me to realize today's kids will never know the thrill of saving up to buy a record, finding a way to the record store to buy it, carefully pulling it out of the sleeve and playing it on the turntable for the first time. To say nothing of the 'music' they listen to these days...

[@jameswarren9237]

I was 13 yrs old lying in bed when fm radio was the place to go for music and I heard blue sky gave me chills, wow I thought, blew me away

[@billbishopboyiscool]

Drums, guitar, EVERYTHANG!!!!! Great music

[@ProfessorTime]

Jaimoe and Dickey are the only original members left. Good Lord. I guess a lot of years have gone by. Pass me that bottle there young whipper-snapper.

[@andysLiveLoudLove]

It's MT Prof. I fly you buy ?

[@hamr55]

[@elyceoleary8957]

[@waynedanberry]

Some People May Not Know, The First Minute or Two Is Donovan's 'First There Is A Mountain,Then There Is No Mountain,Then There Is!'

[@jimwesson7896]

remember at that time "first there is a mountain" was a popular song in rotation on the radio

[@rupertcornholio209]

Wayne Danberry Is There Any Particular Reason Why You're Writing Like This?

[@Permagrin187]

Rupert Cornholio The Real Question is: Why Does it Irritate Us? Some say that Everything that Annoys Us is here for us to Get Over Ourselves and Finally Lighten Up Completely so we can Really Relax and Enjoy Ourselves. Not in an Unconscious Dippy Way But in a Very Totally Conscious Way. Apologies for the sidetrack. The SACD release of this album is amazing btw.

[@geetarnut]

Permagrin187 Anything you say, oh "Mighty Confuse-us"!! LOL!!!

[@PBGSURFER65]

Permagrin187 Hey, that's what youtube is all about, let 'er rip.It is a great post.

[@dhigg36791]

this jam is aptly titled : it is a Mountain Jam, as in a lot going with all the moving parts, and great solo's, a lot of people in my neck of the woods like to talk about the Grateful Dead in awed tones because of the ability to play live...frankly The Allman Brothers had it down and played with more verve and life and had more people who could solo and stretch than those guys all day!

[@djroxanne4429]

Dylan Higgins why do people like to compare? why cant people just like who they like? I'm not a dead fan , but why compare two bands that had their own cult following before ever making it big? theyre both great bands in their own right..and jammings been around since we invented instruments to play so come on dude chill and enjoy..

[@dhigg36791]

because it's a common observation among musicians in my area, especially people that like to jam

[@djroxanne4429]

Dylan Higgins but to say one is better than another only incites people, so I don't understand why people would want to do that. and you would have to be on here 1 minute to realize that..im so sick of the fighting especially over something that's subjective anyway..IMo.. which people forget to use IMO, cuz thats all it is, or are you the definitive word on jam bands?

[@ichupichu]

Deej dawn-roxanne I like to compare the Grateful Dead to The Allman Brothers all the time. The Grateful Dead was the acid band and the Allman Brothers was the mushroom band. Both were great.

[@geetarnut]

Dylan Higgins Right On!!! I used to say that all the time to some of my friends, way back in 1970!!! I saw the Dead MANY TIMES,, and if you ask me?!?!?! Their name couldn't have been more appropo!!!!!!! Sort of kidding/not?!?!

[@Isildur1971]

Man, this is just transcendental. Beautifully perfect for this gorgeous spring evening sitting, enjoying a beer, and just looking at the woods behind my house.

[@ejl1000]

I could listen to this forever.

[@michaelwest9840]

James Brown said it's got ta be funky. He was right, but the Allmans said it's got ta melody, harmony, swing, put a smile on your face, be funky, country, blues and rock 'n' roll.

[@michaelwest9840]

+Michael West and it has to last for 33+ minutes

[@Arbeedubya]

+Michael West Even longer if you consider that they segued right into this from Whipping Post.

[@georgebethos7890]

Arbeedubya Am I the only one who HAS to hear this after listening to Whipping Post?🕉☯

[@poppenator]

If music is drug, then I had the golden shot today. Rest me in peace....and I thought nothing can surprise me after Clapton, Gilmour and all the music I admire - - - - it did.... :-)

[@dmiller4511]

Just listened to it drivin' down the highway, sun setting over the Rockies. Heart bursting...

[@pbedwards1]

no comment. the skydog and Dickie just walked all over my soul and told me all i needed to know about life and music for ever and ever.
