You got me on inside of Tres Hombres. Can’t remember. I didn’t have a lot of money back then. I would borrow records and record them on my reel-to-reel.

Allmans played the Warehouse in New Orleans all the time. I remember them playing New Years Eve and they would be jamming and it would hit midnite and they would morph into harmony guitar version of Auld Ang Syne and then morph back into something else. After Dwayne died they had his amp up there on standby. They opened for Pink Floyd in 1970. Those were good days to see concerts where the artists would take risks and surprise you.

I might have mislead you when I said "double album". It was only one LP with 2 sleeves that opened. Inside was an end-to-end layout of a massive mess of mexican food. That was it. Nothing of the band, just a conglomerate of beans, rice, tortillas, some kind of meat, peppers, sauce, et al over flowing the serving plate and table. It thought it was funny. My first wife thought it was disgusting - but then she had no taste...ha!

Too cool, in Nawlins yet. One of the best early live recordings was Live At The Fillmore East. I still occasionally listen to "Whipping Post" on that CD. It just pulls you into another world.
