Man, it never gets old. His work from 10:54 to the peak at 12:43 is pure upward momentum, like a lumbering pack animal bringing the whole band up the mountain

How can anyone pigeon hole this band? They’re one of the greatest blues bands ever

Yes man this song might have my favorite bass line ever

Blues yeah, but jazz and psychedelia too. This track has all of that. Then In the Dickey Betts years country and rockabilly flowed in. It was a tasty mix always expertly played.

Berry was overrated as was Duane in terms of playing. Both were heroin addicts which impacted their ability to play.

Duane Smiles from those words!

Berry

😊😊

Same here Philadelphia CivicCenter open for CTA. Wen th started playing people were milling about n Duane turned his back n th band Jammed on. Suddenly people started to sit down n th Mystic moment was Live.1968 I was 17

nicely said sir! to me they were like a giant freight train racing down the track, so powerful as to knock one back in their seat, one of the most dynamic bands I have ever seen live!!

Jk loftin. Couldn’t disagree more bro. Listen to allmans in 2010. Oteil outplays berry and trucks and Haynes vastly superior to Duane. Duane is overrated as fuck. Warren and derek a thousand times better bro. Listen to the tapes. Duane allman decent but he ain’t as hyped as you and others make him out to be bro. You should listen to 2010 version and you’ll know I am right bro

@@mojorising0071950 you guys need to stop with the overhype on Berry and Duane. The band was vastly superior when the brothers added Lamar and Chuck leavell. They got bigger in 73 and Derek and Warren were better players. Yo that’s fact not fiction. Try to listen with your ears bro. Duane was sloppy as fuck

Saw the brothers back in 1969 in Jacksonville Beach Florida their 1st album have been follow eversense truly one of most amazing groups! I was very fortunate to see them several times with Duane Allman . Derek Trucks is the closest thing to Duane Allman. Will surely miss the brothers playing

Such good sweet words...

I still think it is, recorded. I heard Derek Trucks play it at peach this summer and was blown away. It was like watching someone rise from dead.

Here is a spectacular version with Trucks taking both solos kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNijf9mWv9Owg3k.html

Exactly. A year and a half between the two performances.

+James McCarthy Duane and Dickey, Barry, Greg, Jaimoe, Butch - The magic is real, it wont be back but it is here(hear?). I believe this is as near to heaven as if there. No others have ever moved me so...My heart thanks(thinks?) No Heart that is not moved by this magic, is no heart I'd want in me.

I completely understand....sniffling still a year after you wrote this...love to you.....

Gregg is Ba-bro...as Duane used to call him. Older by little over a year. Just some trivia, but your thoughts brought tears to MY eyes...saw them a few months before music world caught on, in a small auditorium..maybe 200 seats...maybe. No one even there at the door to take our tickets! Don't know what seats we were assigned, thet werent used.....walked right down to first row, 6 feet from a small stage and listened to them play as if to a crowd of thousands, take a break after a while in the back corner of the stage, as they enjoyed some "refreshments", then get up and play for another I don't remember how long. The next year, they WERE playing to thousands. The next year, Duane was gone..followed by Berry a year later...in the same way at almost The same location. But, that show they put on for so few that night was the best birthday present of my life!

@Lord Jagged I know....tragic, and then Berry...I remember selfishly worrying that there would be no more music from them...Both of them, brilliant in different ways, yet so important in the world of music. I know that they are part of what I know.....

Personally I prefer the version on Gregg Allman's '74 Tour

Ignoring "thumbs down" is a key KZfaq video-watching skill. It takes practice, though.

@Moon Shine of known recordings and of this quality there actually arent that many recordings of dreams thru 1971. fillmore west, brewer field house, and this one are some. tired id say not... i mean the band was at the peak of their hard drug use so maybe a little strung out but i hear too much energy in this recording to feel that theyre tired in the slightest. This is the definitive recording of live versions of dreams in my opinion.

Moonshine which versions do you like most, are any on KZfaq? I like the Fillmore WEST from Feb 71, and Atlanta 70. Is Atlanta 69 out? They also played in 70 a pop festival in FLORIDA, has anyone heard this show?

@Moon Shine lmfao. You're a fucking joke.

And what about what Dickey is playing in the middle! Really beautiful notes!

Listening and writing this number down for mine.

Mike McGreevy Berry was and wanted to be a lead guitarist at first. Switched to bass, but he plays it like a lead axe. What choices did he have with Duane and Dickie ??? Can you imagine, THREE lead guys in the same band !!! The rest is history..............

Pretty close to damn perfect.

Perhaps the greatest

First time I ever did hear the birds!!

Last Note of Layla....Chirp @@robindesjardins8238

Incredible blessing. 49 years ago today

Don’t sleep on Elizabeth reed 71 Fillmore. Technically, I don’t think they’ve played a better song

I would have to agree with you there.

*****

chev202 u ain't lyin, my friend

Ain't no maybe about it.

Maybe? That and Bluesky are the best versions ever.

Seriously Troutvoice THANK YOU

When the Allmans lost a talent as unique and gifted as Duane the Allmans they never again reached the heights that they did with him. Impossible to do so. Rest in Peace Sky Dog.

Funny, because when Duane put the band together, he wanted musicians where each one was better than the next and all were better than he. NOW, whether I agree that Betts was better than Duane....I don't. But Duane respected him. 2 lead guitars working in harmony is just not an easy undertaking...with a tidal wave a percussion, 2 great drummers. 2 Key boards, Gregg and Levell, Berry (genius), and Gregg's throaty, blues voice...they worked together like nature...they knew just what to do. Gregg.. after losing his brother, was not sure people would want them...he took a chance, he wanted to make his brother's dream a reality...and he did a pretty good job. He made sure to separate his band from the ABBs band. Betts had never played slide on an electric guitar. Gregg said on a flight across the country, he started to try...he mastered it by the time they landed. One sad, sad thing is that they were starving when Duane died. Gregg says LITERALLY 2 weeks after Duane's death, they were millionaires....

Absolutely right!😙💨✌️🎼🎸🎸🎤🥁🥁🎹

Yuh no doubt

Michael McCarthy nice to see a true duane fan

+Michael McCarthy amazin observation

+Michael McCarthy - say perfect in harmony and structure and full of ideas who show us how to play a guitar

Thanks for the kind words man, this recording means a great deal to me.

Thanks for the kind words man, this recording means a great deal to me.

I was there from 69-73' - some amazing nights of music. They didn't 'headline' till this '71 show. Remember, opening up for Mountain? or Delaney and Bonnie a week after the Dead shows?

Simon Bolivar Hi Simon......Hmmm I woulda thought they headlined in 69? I can't remember specifics of any of their shows except for that 1st one........ ;-) Can you imagine if Jimi Hendrix was still alive !! I can remember how hard his passing hit me and where I was.........I was living in Roth 1 and walked over to the Mess Hall.......... :-( PS One of THE greatest anecdotes I ever heard...... about Duanne starting Slide is on the Muscle Shoals documentary. If you havn't seen that work.........its wonderful !

onemanmatt PS The TOM DOWD documentary is a MUST He was the Allman Bros Sound Engineer for many recordings inc the Fillmore LP

It wouldve had to be in '69, as they didnt form the band until Feb 1969

klmullins65 I just found my SUNY Concert list from those years it was 4/28/70 :-) If you want me to email you a PDF of the complete list let me know mm@soundsight.net

This is an Official Release from the Allmans Archives!

troutvoice Be that as it may....my buddy was the FOH and he did the recording, unless by that time the Bros had their own FOH and did the recording?

onemanmatt OH and if you have a 'connection' WHERE IS the Black and White Film of the THE last concert at the Fillmore East?

I would think that the B&W film of last day at Fillmore would be somewhere in Wolfgangs Vault if it exists....Sure would dig seeing that as well as the Atlanta Pop Fest 1970 footage that has supposedly already been worked on...

I've talked with Mossyi (the lighting guy) about those vault tapes and Seth who manned the board passed away within the last 3-5 years due to Crones Disease. He hasn't been able to locate his parents to see if he could get a hold of those boxes and boxes of SBDS. I've attached a link here for you...home.comcast.net/~gv0000/Stony_Brook_Archive.pdf

Richard Breault like ONLY Duane could do it! tweet tweet

It's the chirp a BLUE BIRD makes!

Look at the youtube video- "Duane's 12 greatest licks' The technique for all-even the birds-are in that video. Loved it❣

Duane Allman has become almost a myth
