^ I`m glad you`re enjoying it; the opening track is excellent, isn`t it ? The slow build up, the change of tempo, it all works so well. I also like how the flute playing gives us a little break from the guitarwork once in a while.

Yes, I have some tracks from Hittin The Note - in fact that was the album that convinced me that the "new" Allmans are just as good as the old. Old Friend was a good choice - one of the best !

I also like the Stompin My Foot clip, SATCHMO. Very neat lyrics !
and talking of the North Mississippi Allstars, I wonder if anyone knows about this album ?



I think it`s the NMAs, but with Robert Randolph in the star spot, which sounds very promising. Has anyone heard it, or know where I can find it ?

Luckily the new Allmans were able to pick up someone like Derek Trucks. It's just crazy that his uncle is Butch Trucks. What are the chances that Butch would have a nephew as talented as Derek and that nephew would end up joining the band?

I love the flute playing on that album as well. They all are very talented musicians. Derek Trucks is just brilliant. His style is very jazzy.

Default Allman Brothers Live ,Duane

I think anyone who got Duane Allman Anthology or know he plays .
Layla with Eric Clapton and a couple others on Derek and Dominos
Loan Me a Dime Boz Scaggs Duane and Boz playing wow no words
The beautiful Dobro on Please Be With Me by Cowboy
There are few men who influenced music the way Duane did ,I agree he went way past Progressive into Inventive
One of the few reasons to be glad you are a 60 yr old man is because I saw them and him
But we all use our own subjectivity to me Progressive moves a genre forward like the Beatles . Duane did it too his own way

No love for ZZ Top?

they're Southern-rock, just because their biggest hits had synths make people forget people that their stuff up to that point and shortly after that were Southern-rock

as for the Allmans, i don't think they can be considered prog at all, sure they had 20-minute jam sessions, but the songs are mostly blues-based and not complex enough to be "prog" nor are they suites of many smaller songs, the long jam is one long song, really

i just got Eat a Peach and At Fillmore East

At Fillmore East seems to fulfill the promise that Duane was the John Coltrane of the blues, but I wished they remastered or doctored it some more, as the guitar tone is very harsh and brittle on that

It's an amazing album and I'm almost sure that It's been remastered with some bonus tracks added to it.
