So excited. One more till 50! This was a great album, a fantastic representation of the band at their peak. And a great representation of Duane, before his death.
Finally back to my wheelhouse, blues baby. Great music to listen to, especially when driving. Especially when it's 75 and sunny. And especially when you're trying not to think about how you made an ass of yourself last night.
Anyway, the interaction between the band is phenomenal, especially the two guitar players (the aforementioned Duane Allman, and Dickie Betts) And the audience interaction is great as well. This is the gold standard for live albums, I dare you to name a better one. Actually that brings up an interesting thought. Is the live album on its last legs? What with youtube, and other such sites, you can see tons of bands give live performances. So is it still special to buy a live album? Why would I spend money on that? Or not? Who knows? Laterbye!
