"Live at Fillmore East" is one of the greatest live recordings ever, more has to be good.

Ain't it the truth! After I got the ERC-3, I did some A-B ing with the Oppo 103 and some favorite CDs and I was stunned how "live" that 1971 recording is compared to other live shows I listened to.... and brother Duane can turn the clock back and put the goose bumps on me even better that ever with my new Emo upgrades of the last year.

The only bad thing about that album was that the early vinyl copies had lots of defects. I worked in a record store at the time and exchanged many of them (including my own), but no one wanted their money back, they wanted another copy! I saw them in the fall of 1971 at USCB, great show and Duane was stunning (awesome and loud!). I was still talking about the show to friends a week later when we heard that he died. A great loss ... ... but I'm glad we have these memories of his incredible guitar work.

I graduated high school in 1970 about an hour from Macon, Ga, but alas, I never got to see Duane play, I saw the band live only after Duane's accident. My vinyl copy was a good one. I still find myself humming some of Duane's solo's like from Statesboro Blues or Whipping Post. It's been refreshing in recent years to run across other live recordings like the On the Boston Common's, etc... to hear different takes. Since, I've embarked on an upgrade spree in the last year with Emo's and Maggie's, etc..., I'm getting to appreciate some extra detail on a lot of old favorites. Makes me want to get home and listen right now :-)

In the summer of 1969 I was taking guitar lessons at Schroeder’s Music in my hometown of Savannah, GA from a guy named Larry Knight. Larry was from Macon about 2½ hours drive from Savannah. One day he asked me If I ever went to any of the clubs around there. I said, “No because I was too young to get in!” I asked him why he had asked? He said that some of his friends from back home in Macon had started a band and were playing some clubs around Savannah, and just wondered if I had ever heard of them or seen them? He said that in about 6 months or less they would have their first album out.
About October he comes to the guitar lesson with an album in hand. It was that Allman Brothers album that he had been talking about. He let me take it home to listen to it. I was hooked at first needle drop! I had never heard anything like this. I brought the album back to the next guitar lesson, and raved about it to Larry. He smiled, and told me to just keep it as he had more. He said it was a pre-release album that it would not be in the stores for another month or so, and so to tell my friends they would just have to wait, lol.
Back in ’71 I had just gotten my driver’s license, and didn’t have my own car yet. I had talked about seeing the Allman Brothers so much that my mom did not want to loan me her car the night of the concert for fear that I would drive to Statesboro. She just felt that I did not have enough driving experience to drive that far yet. All my friends were depending on me to take them so I had to do something!!! It was a big deal to all of us! What to do? Ahhh……the plan. Back then you could climb under your car and unscrew the odometer cable from the transmission, and this would stop the odometer altogether. (This is also how you rolled back the mileage on a car back then. You would attach a drill to it and spin it in reverse to “roll back” the mileage.) I finally convinced my mom to let me take the car by having her come out and write the mileage down on a piece of paper. I told her that she knew that Statesboro was over 100mi round trip, and that she could easily tell when I got back if I had been to Statesboro by looking at the odometer. She went for it thank God! So…..the scheme worked. I lied to my mom, and the rest is history, and I became a hero to my friends (who also lied to their parents, lol)
On January 7, 1971 I saw "all" the Allman Brothers with Duane, and Greg at the Hanner Field House in Statesboro, GA which is about 50 miles Savannah. I remember when they did this 30 minute version of Statesboro Blues that still gives me chills thinking about it to this day. Playing it in Statesboro just brought the whole friggin' house down!
I just wished I still had that pre-release album that Larry gave me. It might have been worth a small fortune. I have lost it somewhere over the years. As a kid I just never knew the importance of keeping up with it. But, I will always remember that night at the Hanner Field House!!! A night I will never forget.

I had most all of their albums (yes I said albums!! ) back in the 70s but have sold or lost them over the years. This thread motivated me to buy the CD. What a group they were. All of the Southern rock groups were great-Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, etc. I LOVE Marshall Tucker...saw them at least 5 times in their prime, including once w/Muddy Waters as the warmup band for them - at Purdue's Elliot Hall of Music. Amazing show for sure. Mark

Very cool to be introduced to them through your teacher, and great story going to see some of the local boys made good.

>> Great story. I laughed when I read about the odometer cable & drill. How many of us have done that at least once??!! haha <<
Oh man, does that ever bring back memories!! There was a little "gang" of friends who would, ummmm, borrow their parents' cars on a regular basis. I think were were about 14 at the time. My Dad/Mom had a 1970 Chevy wagon that my Mom watched over religiously. She suspected we were "borrowing" the car and she would write down the mileage each night as well as note the position of the tires - I kid you not!
Well, we got around those measures by disconnecting the odometer in the garage and chalking the tires like the cops do to note position. After returning from our misspent ramblings about town, we would jack the car up, re-attach the odometer and rotate the tires into their proper position. They *never* found out about us until the day my sister let some idiot drive the car and he managed to break the driveshaft by trying to do a "neutral bang" from a dead stop and he missed neutral and put it into reverse.
There's another whole story about how my sister and I flew to California (1st class!!) after that incident in an attempt to avoid my parents' wrath, but that'll have to wait for another day....
Man, those were the daze!
SCT - I have a million stories of my misspent yoof!!...

Would quietly open the garage door and rock my moms Corvair to get it over the hump in the driveway and on to the street. Then pushed it a ways down the street before starting it and driving over to my girlfriends – no cell phones of course so at that point I had to use the old school text method - throwing pea gravel at her window. Fortunately her response was better than a LOL (and my mom never found out). Yes, good times!

Actually, she's pretty alert for her age, and she might ask me how many other times did I do that? Oooops! If I told the truth it would be something like.... "Mom, it was less than a 100 times I promise!" Lol
