This here is unbridled six string greatness. Both these guys just killing it. One of the greatest live albums ever made. All of em gone except Jaimoe. What a band!!
I'm "close" to this band since 1969. I appreciate your perspective :)
Those southern boys went on up north to the big city and blew the roof of of the Filmore East theater. The New Yorkers in attendance for these shows never seen such a thang.
Trust me. No one had.
Dickie’s solo first, then Greg’s, then Duane…then the drum break. Such an awesome performance, such a powerful tune!
And a shout out to Tom Dowd who engineered this, if this is a cut from the deluxe version, ( which includes mountain jam) he re listened to the original and didn't think it was quite right, so he he perfectly spliced two performances together to get the best possible version. Keep in mind, the AB when this was recorded were doing 2 show's a night, with all these looong song's. They were an orchestra!! 👍👍👍👍🤠
I love seeing folks listen to this for the first time. Even after having heard this virtuosic masterpiece dozens of times, I never cease to be blown away by it.
Great choice for an Allman Bros. song. Best version too. My personal favorite.
This is the song that started a life-long love of The Allman Brothers for me. Sophomore in college. Unparalleled lead guitars
Duanes solo at the end one of the great ones. Man this band was so good back then.
I was at the Fillmore East March 1971 (20 years old). Greatest concert I have ever seen by one of the greatest bands of all time. I bought the LP as soon as it hit the stores. Has been played many times over. Thanks for reacting............ it's good to hear younger people like you can recognize how great the music was in the 60's and 70's. I have listened to your music and am very much impressed. Keep on rocking!
Thanks so much! You’re appreciated ❤️!
Sad to realize only one musician we are hearing is still with us!
I actually work with a guy whose father sold a Cadilac to Jaimoe.
Dickey and Duane were magic together...the whole band just locked in
Everybody is hittin' on this one, but I give a particular shout out to Mr. Oakley's sublime bass playing. He does an admirable job keeping the flow behind those three incredible solos.
Saw them in concert many times back in the day ❤ Always been my favorite
an unrivaled piece of jazz-blues-rock
Absolutely brilliant 👏 👌 Legends rip
Besides the rock,blues and jazz on Elizabeth Reed I always hear a Latin sound as well. Stormy Monday from this same album is another great one. The sound of the guitars on Stormy Monday seem almost to have human emotions playing out feeling of crying out in anguish or despair.
Greatest live album
As someone who played this version of this song in a cover band for years, I can testify that hitting those transitions between the solos was challenging, but not impossible. Eye contact, a nod of the head, and everyone knowing the riffs between the solos helped.
It's such an incredible instrumental, it will always feel timeless to me.
Dickie and Duane and their twin '58 Les Paul's. Just an awesome sound!
There were musical cues, to signal each other when a solo was ending, and the next section was up. They were so attuned to each other!
They use to go to a cemetery and brainstorm about music etc The headstone they'd sit next to was marked Elizabeth Reed
Thanks for the info!
Musical perfection! And some of the greatest bass playing by Berry Oakley.
Wow, this brings back memories. Classic blues-rock-jazz jam. Saw these guys perform with the Dead in the early 70s at RFK Stadium in DC. It was an epic jam-a-thon. Nice pick Nafisa!
This is my band baby … ABB fan forever and I’m 66 years old . Love this S-T !!
Love them!!!
72 yes old and feel the same❤
Sifa...rockin the Elton John sunglasses...lookin and sounding good..lol...oh you too Dan lol you can never go wrong with the Allman Brothers ...pure sourhern rock .😊
Some of the finest music ever recorded in any genre. Dicky did the first solo, Duane the second. Dickie's notes had a harder edge, Duane's were "rounder". The band was of one mind, they just..did it. Astounding. The entire album is astounding, no weak spots. Not to mix metaphors but Dickie and Duane were the best one-two punch since Koufax and Drysdale if that means anything to you. We took it for granted. Never to be repeated. Well, maybe, someday, somewhere
Greatest live album,musicianship is mesmerising.rip.❤
Brother Duane's solo gives me full-body goosebumps every time
right side is Betts,left Duane
You remarked on the chemistry, and coming back in after the changes. They were on the road in 1970 for over 300 dates. Betts also attributed some of it to telepathy. I imagine after that many gigs you can "read" your band mates mind. As an aside, no studio tricks here, such as after the fact fixes or overdubs for the entire album. Only some editing. What they played those nights is what you hear.
Give us some volume!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent choice 👍🏻
The best of the Allman Bros - that entire album is golden
Indeed!
Dickie does the first guitar solo. After Gregg's Hammond solo, it's all Duane.
Listen to the whole album. Not a dog in the bunch. Then "Eat A Peach." which was half live, half studio..Also a masterpiece album..Good call on the drumming, Dan..Jaimoe (last man standing) was more of a Jazz drummer..In fact, he almost turned down the ABB job, because he wanted to move to NY and join a little Jazz trio, or quartet, or something like that..Together, Butch and he fit hand in glove. The first time I saw them they did the most amazing double drum solo you would ever wanna see! It was one of their first shows after Duane passed, but they came out with an attitude like, "We're not going anywhere" and Dickie just put it all on his shoulders and blew the roof off the place..No joke!..They played well over 3 hrs.!..I know this well because I turned 15 when the clock struck 12!..I've been to hundreds of shows since, but none come even close to that one.
An absolute masterpiece!...My second concert was seeing them in the Hofstra Field house, just after Duane died..I was 14..Been a fan ever since..I'm 67 now, and this song never gets old..Even today it's the one performance that set's my soul free.
At the Fillmore was a rocket after 1st and Idlewild South weren't until later on finally getting the full recognition they deserved ..
Although the studio version of this is great, it's more like a template for the live version where they made it become so much more. This is the definitive version. They were definitely a live band. This live album is them in their prime. Now you're ready for Mountain Jam.
Another of Florida's best is Blues Image - not for "Ride Capt Ride" but for all their other stuff which never got recognized because of their record label. Here's the tune to check out - "REALITY DOES NOT INSPIRE" - here's the link - ruclips.net/video/1dinhI0qB_k/видео.html And as far as bands knowing where the tune is going, having been a musician since 1963, is a matter of intuition and listening - it's like a school of fish - they all move together making changes in direction exactly together all at once. It's an incredible feeling when you're part of that process.
Sweet! Bout time u2!
You can practically smell the pot and patchouli. What a time that was. Thanks
When you see them live it's clear that Duane (big brother) led them, much like the director of an orchestra. Dickey had influence from some outside jazz, i.e., Sun Ra and Rashaan Roland Kirk, etc. while Duane could play bossa nova and jazzy things. It was Dickey Betts who brought this jazzy element to the group. Duane was a terrific rhythm guitarist. I like this one and "You Don't Love Me" the best from the same album. "Hot 'Lanta" sounds like it has a lot of Dickey's writing as well. Two drummers was Duane's idea. Gregg--what a voice! You can't praise Berry Oakley (bass) enough.
They are all amazing! Thanks for watching!
It is mostly improv in the solos around structured pieces. They had very distinct keys for transition and the band was perfection executing them.
You can say that again!
Jaimoe is the only member still alive.
Next Great song on this album Stormy Monday
YOU WANT IT DIRTY ......I Love Everybody FROM THIS SAME ALBUM
Hey Sifa and Dan, it's been a little while. Sorry. The Allman Brothers Band was one of my first concerts, back in 1977, and the instrumental "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" was one of the most memorable songs of that show, because it was an instrumental. Dickey Betts tore it up, Duane Allman and Barry Oakley had already passed at this time, but the crowd loved it in a big way, with prolonged applause at the end. A crazy show, The Edgar Winter Group opened, and they played "Frankenstein", quite a contrast of instrumentals.
Listen to the entire album. Not a dog in the bunch. Then go on to Eat a Peach. Equally phenomenal. Half is studio, half is live, I believe from this same weekend at the Fillmore.
Thanks for the suggestions!
....when improvising a solo with experience you gain a feel for 8-bar patterns. Most pop, rock, funk music, etc. is based on a bar with 4 beats. (kick-snare-kick-snare quarter notes). for whatever reason music is often constructed in four bar patterns so there is often an overall 32-bar pattern for 1 verse and 1 chorus of a lot of songs out there. 32 is a multiple of 4 so musicians will get an instinct for 4 bars, 12 bars, 8-bars, 16 bars , etc and won't have to think about counting. Signals are used onstage as well and these can be hand signals, or musical cues, too. In order to develop this instinct for bars you have to practice and perform a lot and it's best to play with as many musicians as you can.. Sitting around with a sequencer just won't do it..... 🤠
.....musicians often 'trade 8's'. This is taking a solo for 8 bars and then letting another musician take it away for his own 8 bars. This is a great way to learn how to feel 8 measures of musical time....
First solo is played by Dickey Betts. Second solo is Duane Allman. No slide guitar in this song.
R.I.P. to them both
Same album…You Don’t Love Me….your brain will melt ✌️
Great song by Dickey Betts. Duane’s guitar solo (second one) is arguably the greatest of all time!
that first solo is Betts
U guys gotta do Black Sabbath - War Pigs!!
Suggest it on our Patreon!
Duane's solo - the second guitar solo - is spliced in from a different show from the same weekend. This is from Tom Dowd's mouth, not the internet.
Thanks for details!
Nice chords. C Maj7 to b minor 7th. Simple but with so much room to play.
Exactly!
If this dosen't take you there nothing will.
your channel volume is quite low - perhaps more gain?
two drummers
You should react to Layla -Derek and the Dominos with Clapton and the great Duane Allman n his superb slide-guitar!
How do you know you're my new favorite band?
Because
@@SightAfterDark Because why?
I think Duane Allman takes the second guitar solo.
Dicky is good. Real good. Duane? From another planet. If you can't tell the diff in utter brilliance of the second solo (Duane) you'll be cursed forever.
Duane is an absolute legend. Gone way too soon
There is no part of this tune that isn't top notch. Berry Oakley's bass though? Snap!
Duane was a great slide guitarist but not on this track. There is video of a different show. No slide.
Dickey takes the first guitar solo!! Duane takes that long extended solo after Greg's solo on the B-3..what was also interesting, was when the Allman's played the Fillmore East, quite a few of the name Jazz players playing in NYC, would come backstage to watch the band and especially Duane Allman...Wayne Shorter said Duane Allman could do more in a one chord vamp and not bore you.
