Maybe the most underrated ABB tune. It's right up there with LIZ REED in my book. And this band! What you have is such immense talent, totally devoid of ego, working together as a unit, listening to each other, and producing musical magic. God Bless the Allman Brothers Band!
I was slinging burgers for the roadies at this concert. Met Derek, Susan and Jimmy back stage. My wife saved a seat up close for the brothers. What a day.
After they stopped playing there were fireworks off to their left center. Derek knelt down on one knee and held his guitar upright and Gregg came over to his other side and put his hand on Derek’s shoulder. Why I didn’t take a picture of that is beyond me. It was iconic. I wonder if someone got a shot of that. We were all a little distracted by the fireworks being close to the 4th of July that night.
Hi John. Shoot me your address and I’ll send you a surprise package. Don’t need anything in return but if you could find my personal holy grail of ABB shows I would owe you big time. The show is 6-14-74 @ Royals (now Kauffman) Stadium in KC, MO. ☮️
Might I add that everyone is playing it so as Dickey planned it. Even better than Dickey who does a sweet job alongside Jack Pearson, who's untouchable. Dickey makes up in fire through his occasional rhythmic lapses. It's not an entirely natural fit for Dickey, who excels in country/blues rock. But it's a daring experiment on his part nonetheless. The result is a splendid tune that ranks up there with Liz Reed. ABB continued to play all those great Dickey songs that carried the band's success forward, even after his firing. Great Southern got along fine without resorting to playing any of Gregg's material. D'ja notice?
Not far from Macon is High Falls State Park. I would bet that that area was inspiration for this song. Another nice melody from Dickey, and brilliantly played here.
I remember this tour. I saw them in Columbus, Ohio. Susan opened. The crowd was generally unaware that Dickey had been asked to leave. Jimmy was in a tough spot. Derek is / was a promise unfulfilled. Too bad.
Yes Jimmy was in a tough spot. He was very reluctant at first. And according to Kirk Jimmy and Derek took a few shows to link. Once they did, watch out. I disagree that Derek was a promise unfulfilled. IMO he was integral to the overall success of that tour. I posted “Jessica” from 8-30-00 and it smokes as did that whole show. It was the last show of that tour and they were gelling well by then. Woody’s funeral was the next day.
Jeff, I just went over to listen to Jessica. Wow, that’s a good performance! Jimmy was terrific. It’s been 22 years and a lot of shows were attended after then. But this point, I’d like to have seen more of Jimmy Herring. In fact, I’d like to have seen Jimmy play with some one like Lee Roy Parnell.
This is a great video. If you or any one else has a copy of this show please contact me. I would love to trade, and I have a lot of great DVD's to trade.
I have the whole show. Send me an email @ wsptaperjeff@yahoo.com and I can tell what you need to do to get it. If you have a list, send it in the email. The 8-30-00 show would follow the same procedure.
Jeff Jansen Jeff, did you film this ? This is UNBELIEVABLE!!!! and the way it switches from person to person sometimes integrating them together is mind blowing! I get to see Oteil and Derek and I don't know..just the way it was filmed was really cool. I too would love to trade, unfortunately all I have rn are a few of the later shows from 2011. One of the ones with EC too...lots of audio shows too. Well, a few. I'm too busy and not rich enough to pay what some of these people are asking for 1 show. I figure if I pick up a 2-3 disc 230-3 hr show for 20 or less I'm doing ok. But even at that, if you were to add it up, I mean they recorded MOST IF NOT ALL of their shows..anyway I'm rambling. I'll try emailing you. Thx for this tho. Seriously.
Another great Dickey Betts composition. Trucks is magnificent as usual. Love Oteil burbling along those Latin grooves. Who's playing the second lead guitar?

There's another Betts' Latin groove tune, Dona Maria. It's a near miss as far as I'm concerned.
This may be the greatest jam ive heard ever. And its sad dickeu being booted made it happen.

I’ve got to find some recordings from the 00 run w herring. So mysterious and such good music.
Derek is such an original.
I know Ramblin’ Man is a much maligned tune but, 5-23/96 with Franklins Jam. Anyone got it?
