I went to visit some friends in Oregon who i had a fantastic summer with the year before. I got up there in April. Nobody was home. So i drove way up this logging road to a place that overlooked the lake where they had a house. I was smoking some colombian red which made me paranoid. I went to leave but was stuck in the mud on a down slope. The only 8 track tape i had was the Allman Brothers. So i tried to sleep in the back seat as it started to snow. Dreams was playing over and over as i got more worried and depressed. That song matched the scene i was in perfectly. I got out sticking my Army jacket under the wheels. I drove down to see my cousin at the lake. He had just gotten a divorce. I went to see a girlfriend who i saw the summer before and she was depressed because she had just been put in a foster home.Then my transmision went out. He had it fixed for me and was glad to see his uninvited guest leave. So i drove back home to California while listening to dreams that i never saw. I will never forget that trip and how spooky that song was for me alone at the top of the hill. The perfect soundtrack for a miserable time.
You are the true believer ! I just about done the same, but wasn't stuck in the snow. I ran out of gas with my friends onboard. On our way to The Brothers concert in, i think, 1970.
I think I remember the first time I heard this song. I was riding in a car with a friend and I think it was 1972 in Warner Robins Georgia. That was about 20 miles from Macon. Was kind of a cloudy overcast rainy day which we didn't have a lot of down there but I remember the somewhat eerie sound of the song the feeling I got when I heard it which I will never forget. That's eerie and awesome of course. I started out as a Black Sabbath , Led Zeppelin and mostly hard rock fan they are still great to me especially on their records sometimes live performances of them somewhat lacking in my opinion. I've listened to some of these original Allman Brothers songs hundreds probably thousands of times and it's the only band I still listen to pretty much on a daily basis. The most amazing American band ever. The Brits can fight it out over there.
We're practically neighbors. A guy named Flip Jones, who's one of the best guitar players I've ever heard much less played in the band with as a huge Dwayne Allman fan and he can nail those licks like nobody's business. He was lead guitar for a band called the US kids. I start to play on with them when I was about 17. Drummer was JC Cruz and a guy named Lee Godfrey on vocals. We used to play some things with Mike Causey and the two of those guys were just killer guitar players. All influenced by Dwayne.
This may be the best rendition of Dreams of anything they did live or on in studio. This music levitates. Oakley, Jaimoe and Butch were outstanding. This was amazing.
Their Fillmore west 71 was epic. Duane hits notes that are above the fret board. But I love all versions of this great song. No other piece of music sounds like this
If you listen close when they go into the first instrumental of this song you can hear Dickey playing Da da dit da da…only does it twice in the first stanza.. they never played it after… leading me to believe it might have been Duane… saw them in Sept. of ‘71 and you really couldn’t tell when they switched up who was playing lead…Derek and Warren never played it with that hook…never
I saw them in concert Santa Rosa California. Long Time algo. The first tree línea wher. Veterans frem viet nam. All on weelchair. And Greg was walking by
Allman wrote that in Cali after Duane told the record co. to kiss his azz. and returned to Fla. Gregg stayed to prevent a lawsuit but hated it and said he constantly thought of suicide.
Been listening to this song for well since I was 12. 53yrs. Never gets old!!!❤
Another masterpiece from the ABB. Duane and Dickie, the ultimate dream team. Wish I had been old enough to see them live

This is when i really need to connect with those SKYNYRD fans and tell them Alman Bros are the best ! That voice transends perfection !!!
Can't compare brothers w skynyrd or tucker , all 3 at top with type of music they played , all different , have cool day
The best version of DREAMS. Legendary!!♥️

If you liked this version, you're gonna love this! ruclips.net/video/BDZoYnxEPYQ/видео.html Who's with me on that?
@@josephvengen9989 That is too cool. You can tell they're trying to get a good feel in the arrangement.

Listen to the version on their 1971 live at the Fillmore West. Awesome
SUNY
BRILLIANT! BEAUTIFUL! ETERNAL!
An AMERICAN Band,, just like the 4rth of July or Apple Pie,, the Allman Bros.,,
My favorite song of all time, my favorite band of all time.
There will never be a band like the Allman Brothers. May God damn the drug pushers.
Very impressed with the sound quality...from all those years ago!
Thanks for sharing💜
Can't believe Greg was left off Rolling Stones top singers list
Just another shining example of where RS fails yet again...
Disgraceful. We know better. Fuck them.
@@cornfilledscreamer614 Consider the source - Rolling Stone
It doesn't get any better than this
Alway's on our mine ..R.I.P. ... Keep on playing, 👍
Best Southern Rock of all time
The Best, ain't no one ever Close, jùs såyîn ¡😎🥚😎¡
@@freakbennett2263 I never was a fan of Lynard Skynard. Were You?
There was no skynyrd when I first heard Allmans in 1969.
Guitar gods!
Always & forever❤
Excellent Tim!!!!!🎸❤🎸❤
