The magic between Duane and Dickey, plus the ever maturing vocals of Gregg. They are still my all time favorite band and I still get lost in the Live at the Fillmore Concerts.

Maybe that's why "living for today" became such a big part of our mentality, there might not be another tomorrow. If we were having a hard time, we didn't talk about it, we just put on the music and played... full blast. I had this album in high school and "favorite" is a word we always see when people talk about the Allman Brothers. Live at the Fillmore East is probably my "all time," loved their first album, and Eat a Peach... but I like them now with Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks too. Allman Brothers always will be one of my top favorites because THEY ROCK. And so do we. I still listen to them. Thanks for the clips, story and memories... really brings them back. Great blog.

Thanks for waking up my senses again and reminding me why I love music--I love your blog and look forward to being excited every week to something I may have forgotten or did not know!!! WOW– 40 years — I’m not sure what to say I can’t believe that it’s been so long sometimes it seems just like yesterday the music of that time period was so awesome not that I don’t like some of today’s music but it was so meaningful even tho I was so young you could feel the emotions of the world by just turning on the radio and listening to the latest release of a great band I had forgotten what the Allman Brothers almost sounded like until today.
