Well, It's Oct 29th again, and it has been 39 years since Duane Allman died in a horrific bike accident in Macon Georgia back in 1971. Duane at the young age of 24 left a legacy in southern rock that will guarantee his immortalization in our hearts and ear drums. Rolling stone magazine ranked him #2 in their "100 greatest guitar players off al time" list. Although that doesn't mean much considering they all ranked Kurt Cobain #12 and Jerry Garcia #13.......but thats another rant we shall save for another day! Nonetheless Skydog was a monster in the world of slide guitar, with arguably the greatest tone to ever scream out of a marshall. So wherever you find yourself today, stop for a moment, crack a bottle of pabst blue ribbon and pay your respects to the late great and always righteous Howard Duane Allman.
In commemoration of Duane life and death I'm posting the Allman Brothers Band Live at American University /12/13/1970. Its Raw, it's gritty and it's perfect! Highlight - The 16 minute version of "you don't love me" is definitely the gem on here!
