I finally got to see them 35 years later with the Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes lineup. I remember that weekend - vaguely . I drove down with some friends to Watkins Glen. Took all night to work my way through the crowds from where we parked to the front where the stage was. [ Reply ]

I must beg to disagree.. this particular song is an outstanding example of the band's ability to play the hell out of high-energy blues with a jazz foundation. I think its a shame that Chuck Leavell was not part of the group when Duane was still alive. I think there would have been an awesome synergy there.

I was conceived shortly after, pretty sure the concert had something to do with it (and partially my taste in music). I know the date pretty well because of this... ;-) [ Reply ]

Duanne was not physically present THEN, but the Allman Brothers Band played the Field House in 1980. The Outlaws opened. The rumour was the Iowa City venue was the last live show Duanne played in before he died. Not sure if that is true. [ Reply ]

keller1 Dec 15, 2009 - 05:37	It may be that to understand this you had to be listening to music in the late 60s/early 70s, when a lot of bands were doing long jams —- for instance, Cream's Wheels of Fire had a couple of 10+ minute jams on it. (As a musician, it instilled in me both a lot of bad habits and an enhanced ability to improvise —- a classic mixed blessing.) Like a lot of other stuff played here, once a month is fine. [ Reply ]
