Ok I’ve tuned into to this station only a few times and already heard this repeated. I like the song but there are hundred of allman brothers songs if you want to play them or something different. This station is supposed to be different!
Let's hear it for Chuck Leavell. One of the all-time greats.
Love it

I have one criticism of this song...It isn't long enough!

Ah yes, the old bumper music they'd use on the Phil Hendrie comedy radio show back about 2004, syndicated out of Los Angeles.
Allman Brothers are good at music.

Just my lowly opinion but I still think The Allman Brothers was the best southern rock band. Yes, even better than Skynard.

Spun this CD the other weekend and this album STILL stands the test of time. Just one jam after another.... so hard NOT to crack the volume to tinnitus levels!
RIP Gregg, Duane and Butch, yinz guys just plain ROCKED!!!

First time I've been alone in my house in 13 months...and I turned it UP!
9 up to 10. Just cause. Just cause these boys just crushed it...continually! And, 30+ years later there really ain't too many that can even come close.

So you hung with Gregg and Dickey extensively in the 70s and heard both sides, I'm sure.
Maybe start your comment with "In my highly biased opinion, based on no actual facts . . ."
definitely enjoyed it but it confirmed what I already knew: Gregg Allman is a narcissistic prick unwilling to share credit or tolerate the success of others...........namely DICKEY BETTS!

Wow. Southern R n R. This is so freakin good. My god, this use to be so common to hear several bands playing this genre; albeit not this well. But hey...they were trying.
The guitar work is soooooo good. You can get high on it.

Last time RP played this I had to break out my album and listen to it. I forgot how awesome Gregg and Dickey played on this song.
There is no better for me

Just bought an Allman Brothers greatest hits album and heard this for the first time (that I can remember, anyway.) It immediately went onto my favorites playlist. Great jam.

Thanks RedGuitar. I catch up 9 months later....
FWIW, I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment.
Not really something that I would choose to listen to personally, but if you don't end up tapping your toe or shaking your head to this one you're probably dead.

So what is the highest honour that the USA can bestow on her citizens? Did the Allman Brothers band members ever receive that reward?

Although it included Spectrum acoustics they used to put on great "Eat a Peach Christmas Boogie" shows back in the 1970's.

nice.
Great tune. There's a KILLER version of it from last Summer's VA Beach show with the horns from Mofro sitting in.
this tune COOKS!!!!
Yup, the Allman Brothers produced some of the best dance, party, road music of the period.
More please.
Can't. Stop. Tapping. Foot.
Great Jam, Love the Brother's. Always have and will. More please

How lovely messy this tune is listening in headphones. What were they thinking with 2 drummer playing freely.

The two-drum setup is essential to their sound. I'd prefer this to a synth-drum soundtrack beat with no soul. Listen to the Grateful Dead sometime, you'll hear a similar thing.
Its no worse than a drum line in a marching band, really. What an organic, cool thing, as if the beat has its own life.
If this does'nt make you boogie, your dead.

Another one of the great tunes off Bros. and Sisters.
And here I was just thinking that I could stand to hear some Allman Brothers! Good work on picking up on those psychic waves from across the continent, Bill!

i agree - the loss of Duane and Barry was terrible, but adding Chuck was phenomenal
I recently got a copy of their show at the Nassau Coliseum, and Mountain Jam with a great keyboardist is incredible
