Essential Allman Brothers tunes

I’m pretty sure I have the original At Fillmore East, only because I’ve seen other versions with bonus tracks.

That’s my favorite. There are expanded versions that have more songs, although some of those are from a later Fillmore performance. The original still feels right to me.

Dreams is on my list. I unfortunately heard the Molly Hatchet version before the ABB.

I’m so sorry. I only heard that version once and it’s still on my Worst Covers list.

I’ll check out Kind of Bird and also Mountain Jam.

Well, what are you waiting for? The Eat A Peach version of Mountain Jam was actually performed right after the Whipping Post that ends the Fillmore album - you can of hear the tympanis just starting up as the album fades out. So that’s really one continuous 55-minute jam. That’s the essence of the Allman Brothers right there.

Now you got an earworm started – didn’t click the link, but that good a playing doesn’t just disappear from the brain. It wasn’t all Betts – the whole outfit was in the pocket on that one IIRC.

Go make a sandwich during the drum solo. But make sure you’re back before Duane goes nuts on slide guitar when everybody is back on stage.
