Someday a vicious knife fight will break out in that hotel room and we'll get stuck with the minibar tab.

This is an absolutely incredible song...  and I must admit that I also love the Molly Hatchet cover version...

I saw Gregg Allman interviewed on TV not long ago.  I was surprised at how inarticulate he was.  I mean, we're talking about one of the great rock bands, and the guy can barely string two sentences together.

Man, has it been that many years since I sat listening to this on my Sears Silvertone stereo?

It's good to hear this again, but a little hard as it makes me think of my friend Barney, gone these many years, with whom I shared so many aventures in those days. RIP, brother.

I just love the Allman Brothers, and this is an amazing jam.  I can close my eyes and be anywhere - driving down a long stretch of two-lane highway with no cars and only the sunrise in my eyes. I can be at the top of a mountain, with the clouds below me and the snow brushing my face.  I can be on a sandy beach with white sand, sunshine, and the sound of a ukelele in the distance.  I can be anywhere, doing anything.  This song takes me to those places.  The Allman Brothers' music always does that to me.

Okay - you drink your white chai tea or sniff your glue or whatever else you might do to get inspired. I listen to the music of RadioParadise, and it keeps me alive and motivates me and inspires me. I love RP.

Shutting up now.
 
Please, no glue. Ever.

Old white guys drink chai tea? I must have missed the email.

Know what you mean about the Allman Bros, though!

Peace!

The Allmans are the closest thing to jazz rock gets:  just beautiful mood inducing music.  Rock on, Duane and Dickie!!

I don't know enough about the personal beliefs or politics of the Allmans, and this is a huge generalization, but I doubt a southern-fried rock band in the late 60s or early 70s would be writing about MLK.  I could be wrong, but that would be an interesting discussion.

Duane Allman switches to bottleneck guitar midway through this song... this is such a great song that Dreams is the name of a box set for the Allman Brothers that came out in 1989...

I feel a million things when I hear this song...  some old friends and I smoked a joint on Duane Allman's grave in Macon, Georgia, in the early 1980's...

This is definitely one of the better Allman Brothers tune (not a big fan), but Molly Hatchet kills this one and has made it their own!{#Yes}

You don't get voices too much like this now. It does sound like its from the 70's but its still so good.

I've gotten to know Vandal a bit and he is a good man.  I don't think that "schmaltz" applies here but he sure provoked a lot of of commentary about the undeniable link between rock music and drugs.

WTH? I'm certainly no "old white-guy" and I love this station. But to each his own. That's why there are 32 flavors after all.

hmmm....and what do you listen to?  Britney Spears, Mariah Carey?  Tell you what, if you don't like your musicians and musical artists writing music from and with drug use, throw away all your Beatles, Smashing Pumpkins, Pear Jam, Doors, My Morning Jacket, The Who and just about any band that ever probably influenced your life in some way's cd's because these artists used drugs of all sorts. (nods to B. Hicks)  You can keep Frank Zappa though if you want...surprisingly enough didn't do drugs. As for the schmaltz part, c'mon, it was the 60's psychedelic era.  Stretching out and doing long instrumental experimentation was cool.  Certainly more interesting than the recent trend of Orange County whining emo crap.
 
C'mon, lighten up - it's just my opinion, not a proclamation of absolute truth. . .
