8>>>9! Maybe 10 the next time I hear it!
agree - I've just changed it from 9 to 10
So f'ing fine it brings tears to my eyes, to the days when dudes played like this with passion and about as close to perfection as booze, dope and skill would let them get.
the booze and dope allowed them to imagine this song

i rarely give a 10 rating, but,,, this almost puts me into a trance dream state

We need more applicable emojis for this track. Dancing bananas don't do justice to it. Fire halos worn by weed-smoking angels while swigging Jim Beam and riding a Harley at 120 m.p.h. might do it.
and now the former Fillmore East is...an...Apple Bank

wtf is wrong with us?
I'm still driving 120 and no speeding ticket yet. In addition, I'm now deaf.
Berry Oakley and Butch Trucks are buried with them as well.

You say that like it's a bad thing.
For the record, icymi, gents and ladies, the former Fillmore East, a shrine where this recording and many dozen other greats preceded and ensued -- is now an Apple Bank. 105 Second Avenue https://tinyurl.com/yraufefe
I like the Allman Brothers, but I don't need to hear this much guitar jamming. While it pains me to do it I have to mark this song down to Ho-Hum. In the first minute I marked it a 8, then every minute or two I marked it down another notch.
My comment:
Two things: I think of jamming as a band riffing away on a particular theme. While there must have been an element of making it up as they went, the centerpiece of the number is one long ass and well structured solo.
Also, you listened to the whole song just to fully experience how much you hate it? Brother, you've got way too much time on your hands.
My girlfriend at the time mentioned that the ABB was just another southern rock band. At that moment she became my ex-girlfriend. No regrets on that call at all.
Harsh, but understandable. In due time perhaps she came to realize she was just another girlfriend. So you might retitle this track In Memory of Whatzername.

The piece has something that just can't be put into words!
Isn't it just the best driving song....

I'm intrigued by its obverse. What would constitute EXCITING guitar masturbation? Since imho, and many others here--and at a mere 7.8, is clearly undervalued--this is simply one of the reddest hot live tracks ever, please enlighten us.
Some of us need to hear MORE guitar jamming. The jamming is one reason to have extraordinary guitarists in the band.
Have to mark down that comment accordingly. A 5.
Apparently you're the masturbation expert.
Too bad you're not as skilled at recognizing incredible music.
Now, I'll leave you to . . . er . . . yourself.
Well, maybe not every day for ever, but a 'box set binge day' of all the Allman Brothers's albums would be epic.
Fillmore East
Ditto here. Every word.

A simply great bit of music, evocative of a time as well.

As you may or may not know Duane and Greg grew up and went to school here in Daytona Beach. My brother and 2nd wife went to high school with Greg and she had the dubious distinction of getting kicked out of Algebra class with him. Being older and having gone off to serve my country I never knew them but remember the Almann Joys playing at a youth nightclub in Daytona.

...and for the 37 of you who gave this amazing piece of rock-and-roll history a 1 (5% of the respondents, no less) a question. Do you music at all?
And it sounds like there are about 500 people in crowd.
Dickey Betts wrote this song, and the version on this album is absolutely incredible... both Dickey Betts and Duane Allman play lead guitar together, and Gregg Allman plays an amazing organ solo... this is a brilliant album... Betts wrote the song about a name he saw on a tombstone in Macon, GA, and now Duane and Gregg are buried together in a cemetery in Macon... in the early 1980's, some old friends and I drove to Macon and we smoked a joint at Duane's grave... time flies when we're having fun... love Radio Paradise...
I could not agree more!
I play my computer ( Radio Paradise) threw my home entertainment system via head phone jack..give it a try turn it up and enjoy !!!!
Get Sonos zone player and go coax or optical (digital out) to a good DAC and then into your stereo and enjoy this station like hit was meant to be.
back in 1971
Gotta do it; bump 9 > 10.
The "Summer Jam". There were something like 600,000 people there. That was after both Duane and Barry were gone.
I was a young but huge Allman Bros fan. I lived in Ithaca, only about 25 miles away from Watkins Glen. I was just out of 9th grade but when over half a million people showed up my overprotective parents put a stop to my plans.
I finally got to see them 35 years later with the Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes lineup.
I remember that weekend - vaguely. I drove down with some friends to Watkins Glen. Took all night to work my way through the crowds from where we parked to the front where the stage was.

OMG the good ones always leave early..............How tight was the Allman Bro band !!!!
I saw the Allman's at Watkin's Glen in '72, where they were billed with The Band and The Grateful Dead - the jams were mind-blowing.

Oh.. I must beg to disagree.. this particular song is an outstanding example of the band's ability to play the hell out of high-energy blues with a jazz foundation.
I think its a shame that Chuck Leavell was not part of the group when Duane was still alive. I think there would have been an awesome synergy there.

Summer '73 actually. I was conceived shortly after, pretty sure the concert had something to do with it (and partially my taste in music). I know the date pretty well because of this... ;-)
i hope you mean 1970
otherwise they would have propped up a ten year old corspe
Hah! Duanne was not physically present THEN, but the Allman Brothers Band played the Field House in 1980. The Outlaws opened.
The rumour was the Iowa City venue was the last live show Duanne played in before he died. Not sure if that is true.
Amen!! Let the h8rs mute and cry like babies. This is epic. Play it anytime RP.

Like a lot of other stuff played here, once a month is fine.
Cool! I thought I had a good memory when I saw them play in '80 at the Field House in Iowa City, reportedly the last venue Duane played live with band. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can relate. Thanks

I am so seriously jealous.
I five finger discounted this album when I was about 12 years old and ended up falling in love with the band and blues because of it. Saw the band the first time when I was about 14, after Duane died, in New Haven. Wore the grooves outta the vinyl on my borrowed copy. Bought the album five times over in various formats, making up for my borrowed copy. Ended up living across the street from the old Fillmore East for a time. Imaging that! Fell in love at least three time while listening to this album. Have seen the band probably ten times at the Beacon and remember about 2/3 of the concerts; which is probably a pretty good ratio. A constant theme throughout my life, indeed.
But you were there! As I said, I am so seriously jealous.

This is GREAT music... love it...
It's tempting, Romey, very tempting. But I am not taking the bait.
On the other hand, if ABB has the gig, you can sign me right up.
They are truly an American original.
How can you like the ABB and not like guitar jams? This is the band that has played host to Duane Allman, Dickie Betts, Jimmy Herring, Derek Trucks, Les Dudek, and Warren Haynes!
What, all you like by them is "Ramblin' Man"?
Oh, wait, that song is about 1/2 guitar solo.
