Is there a “show me the whole list” option.

This is too slow.

Pinging to those from the previous threads. This one needs no introduction: a classic, upbeat song from one of the definitive American bands of my lifetime. The Allman Brothers Band joins Bob Seger as the only two bands to show up twice on this list up to this point.

"Blue Sky" was one of the last Allman Brothers recordings with guitar tracks recorded by Duane Allman before his untimely death in 1971. He plays the guitar solo for the segment of this clip from 1:07 to about 2:30 before Dickey Betts joins with his own track.

"Don't fly, mister blue bird -- I'm just walking down the road. Early morning sunshine tells me all I need to know."

Let me know if you'd like to be added or removed from the ping list!

I was at the concert that is the "Official Video" for this song. At the University of Florida Bandshell. I was right in front of Dicky Betts (the dude with the cowboy hat) and maybe 8-10 people back from the stage.

This is a good tune. Duane and Dickey. Written by Dickey Betts. Dickey on vocals

We were sitting around the table after Thanksgiving dinner my nephew at the music control. I requested this after it started, all the kids/young adults came back in from the basement, upstairs, front yard to listen
