      Scott Ross - I believe this concert is one of the best of the ABB with or without Duane. Can you provide any more info on this concert? How long was the show? How would you characterize their spirit? Was it a one-night or two-night gig? To my ears they were at the top of their game. I hear a wonderful concert. There is so much disagreement on whether Barry was horribly depressed or coming out of his depression from Duane's death. I would love to hear your comments on what you remember. Thanks.

      @@andymarchus6250 I own the book, read it, and I think Gregg is a good witness. Then there is this other account from One Way Out. He had organized a festival, or was to participate in a festival, and he was excited about it. Jaimoe said this or he said something similar in another book or article, and both Gregg & Jaimoe obviously knew him. The stories conflict. The Berry I see in this concert has had a year to mourn and he seems to be enjoying himself. I simply hoped Scott Ross would provide his opinion. Thank you for the answer.

I think Mr. Bill Graham who was way ahead of his time said it perfectly when he said they were the best of them all and they were. Every member was absolutely the best and I sure am thankful that they had the guts to keep going and keep making the music that has helped me get through many times good and bad for 52 years. Every member through all the years have been the best of the best bar none. God bless them all each and every one of them and he certainly blessed me to be able to hear and see them many times and so thankful to have the opportunity to take my grandson to see them a few years ago because his generation has missed the true masters of music and again like Mr. Graham said, the absolute best. Legends and also real dudes man real dudes.

When I saw em all sitting in that creek inside first album I think I was just struck that such music could come from a pack of skinny little white boys and I was a skinny little white boy. Lots of hair though. I've seen them many times. I was struck Allan's had same instrumental line up as Grateful Dead. Two drummers, guitars, so on. The jams they get into are. Seeing them that second time at Ludlow Garage I was doing an Ohio Sunshine Company Orange barrel LSD. Just amazing band in every way. May I please shut up now? Thank you.

    one of the best versions of Ramblin Man on video. Raymond Berry Oakley was in my opinion the best bass player in southern rock hands down. His melodic bass lines along with playing support with counter lines with lead guitar gave the Allman Brothers Band is amazing original sound never duplicated after his motorcycle dealth on november 11, 1972. Berry oakley was a major force in the allman brothers sound as they are the grandfathers of southern Rock n Roll. Rip BO.

    I saw the band in Mobile, Al, the FIRST PUBLIC PERFORMANCE for them AFTER Duane's death. They actually played as if Duane was on the stage. No attempt was made to modify. Soul Shock and HS presence had them playing with Duane in their ears and hearts. Berry was phenomenal to watch. Completely transfixed by their vibe, that bass became a lead guitar. To see him sway to the beat, his leg rolling and bending to the flow was a spiritual experience. He was as great an artist on the bass as Duane was on his Gibson. Those two, together, created the multi-leveled, original mastery of musical fusion known as the Allmans. After Berry's needless death and Duane's tragic crash, the true band was gone. They soldiered on, with dignity and future success; but they never returned to the mountaintop again. In my heart, the ABB was the superb masters of American music fusion to this day. Their harmonics, power, and creativity powered by hypnotic positivity birthed a new musical idiom. Too bad their intense personalities became self destructive. Euphoria in such immense dosages coupled with the band's dangerous drug usage destroyed their common sense.

    Dickey is so underrated as a guitarist man. This is still great music, not as good as Duane with them but still leaps above just about everyone else at the time. Pre 75 Chicago with Terry and the original Santana band before they broke up were my favorite American bands.

      +Claude Galinsky ... I was at the 1971 Hofstra show as well ... dead center front "row" ... my first time seeing the ABB and it was indeed a fantastic show. I was fortunate enough to see them twice more before Duane's unfortunate demise ... both times at the Fillmore East w/ Canned Heat as the "headliner" and then the Saturday night late show where most of the original Live At Fillmore East album was recorded. I've seen them now and then as well through the years but I don't think they were ever the same, or as "good", as they were with Duane.

Just could not believe how tight, perfect they were and totally amazed that huge voice was coming out of that pretty little blonde haired hippie dude who looked kind of like me but better looking by a damn sight. Hahahaha. It was what you can imagine it was. Just so close to perfect. The Alman Brothers Band has given the world so much. So many great spin off bands and people. Butch and Susan comin here to Red Rocks twice next summer. Thinking about these guys long enough and I always end up in tears for the beauty and the losses for those who left us way too soon.

If any of you are not "afraid" of cemeteries, I strongly suggest stopping by Rose Hill to pay your respects... (right off the highway... very peaceful, wonderful place (if you can say that about a cemetery)... lots of wonderful Civil War history to soak up also... of COURSE, I was on a mission to find the grave of Elizabeth Reed (my daughter's name because I loved the song THAT much... ) IF you try and find it...

      Not much good happened after Berry died. They released Brothers and Sisters in '73 and that was their last good studio album. They just happened to have some build up momentum and a lot of very good unreleased material when Duane died so they did well for the couple years after. Then the problems started, though I think the loss of Duane was really the tipping point - for a while none of the remaining members wanted or were equipped to lead the band, until Dickey started trying to take over and that didn't end well.

    You can almost see the pain in their eyes. Gregg was definitely using here. Something but, the spiral had begun. Dickie bravely stepped up and did fantastic. Berry looked less animated. I mean, the brothers were in pain and although the singing and playing are stellar, it's apparent that they know this is new territory for them. Oh what could have been had Duane lived! But you know, they did carry on. They adapted. Was it the same? No. Was it good? Yes indeed it was.
