| jhorton (Trailer Park on Cape Cod) | Posted: Nov 13, 2012 - 16:46 The original is transcendent. This is fair. Like everything Kottke plays it sounds antiseptic, void of emotion. |
| mrdak (Middle GA) | Posted: May 08, 2012 - 09:13 Goot Lawd! Kottke  You be jammin! |
| socalhol (Seattle) | Posted: Apr 06, 2012 - 15:45 Leo sure has a very distinct style! I recognized it as him playing before I even looked....  |

Well, it seems the "laughing" emoticon is no longer with us; alas. Always loved this Allman Brothers classic. I'm not sure Kottke does anything fresh with it but it's great to hear nonetheless. |

| Kokoloco53 (Safford, AZ) | Posted: Jul 28, 2011 - 15:34 Oh yes, RP could play at least one Kottke tune a day, I'd catch some of em. |
| George_Tirebiter (Phoenix) | Posted: Mar 24, 2011 - 10:45 Leo's version is far better than the original. His music always sets me adrift ~  |
| Dave_Mack (Saratogy, Californy) | Posted: Mar 24, 2011 - 10:45 My hero. And this is a beautiful song — original by Allman Brothers is fantastic too. |

Whatever happened to Tom Smith? "Tom Smith" sounds like an alias to me. Are you sure he wasn't KGB, using a special electronic playback device imbedded inside his acoustic guitar to fake his perfomances? I bet he had face-recognition cameras disguised as tuning keys, too. He probably swayed, dipped, and pivoted his guitar to make sure he got video recordings of everyone in the audience. |
| JGM | Posted: Jul 30, 2010 - 18:52 One of the best versions of one of the best guitar songs ever. Essential. |

| unclehud (300 feet above the planet) | Posted: Nov 09, 2009 - 03:30 Little Martha's grave is about 200 yards from Duane's and Berry's. Martha Ellis died at 12 years old, and the slab over her grave reads "OUR BABY."  edit: Several unsuccesful attempts to download my photo, so I quit. Damn, I feel old when I can't get my computer to do what I want it to. I'm sure you can Google the image and find it on the web somewhere, though. |

| bokey (Up on the tightwire.One sides ice and one is fire.) | Posted: Nov 26, 2008 - 13:16 It takes a tremendous amount of guts to cover a Duane Allman tune- props to Leo. |
| Danimal174 (Upstate South Carolina) | Posted: Nov 26, 2008 - 13:07 Not bad, but I prefer the Allman Bros' version of this, even though this one sounds more technically-challenging. |

| ArbiterOfGoodTaste (Seattle, WA) | Posted: Oct 20, 2008 - 10:19 Great segue from Hold On! I had the volume kinda low, but it sounded seamless as far as I could tell! |

Of course he does' foo-wool! A good friend of mine is a part time jazz musician with two albums out and he plays Kottke anytime he's bored. |

If I remember the story correctly, he recorded this, got on his motorcycle, and had his fatal accident with a Peach truck. Hope that doesn't ruin the irrational happiness... just for reference, it's an urban legend that Duane was killed by an actual Peach Truck... |

I agree although this song is better than some of his other work. Brilliant guitarist but not something I would listen to very much. |
