Watch later. 🍑
Not a fair question.
ELO and Lynyrd Skynyrd and Boston and The Doors and Led Zeppelin and my absolute favorite.....the Moody Blues.\

I look at the Allman Brothers as more Jazz-Blues Fusion like Jon Mayall was doing for all those years. If you listen real close on Fillmore East on Hot Lanta you can hear The Memphis Horns in the background. Duane asked them to sit in one night and did not tell Tom Dowd who has producing, he about freaked out and did whatever he could to drown them out on the tapes.
I have seriously considered being cremated and having my ashes buried there since they are my favorite band.
Unreal!
“My son’s band does an excellent cover of this and can absolutely bring the house down with thier take on Hotlanta.”
Love it.
There was a record store called Peaches Records and Tapes that sold them, I had a couple of them back in the day. I think the store lasted into the 80s. In Buckhead near Piedmont Hospital on Peachtree.
I may even still have one, but don’t think so. If I do, it’s in the bottom of a guest room closet where all the legacy vinyl lives. I’ll look tomorrow.
Sounds great
Looks like a New Orleans version of the store survives to this day. And they’re higher than the guys at the one on Peachtree in the 70s, if that can be believed. As proof, look how much they want for a peach crate:
The Muscle Shoals documentary that’s on Amazon Prime (IIRC) is highly worthwhile. Watch it on a big screen with good sound, don’t mess with watching it on a laptop or iPad.
Hey wardaddy, how far is this from you?
The “Eat a Peach” album was a classic 70s album in every way, all the way down to the cover and liner artwork. Actually, LP record album art is one of the great losses in music.
Holy cow!!!! How much do you think mine from 1972 would be worth now? And yes, I got mine at the record store on Peachtree, 1972. I remember the Allman Brothers in Piedmont Park. Good times back then, when I had no worries.
Agree, but one must not leave out Little Feat or the Atlanta Rhythm Section (real pros).
One very memorable evening many many years ago (a very young student)— in Atlanta went to a double billing small club date with Little Feat and the Allman Brothers. And in the audience noticed a who’s who of Southern legendary musicians/writers (Joe South,Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett among them). And somewhere in there an amazing Atlanta Rhythm Section show at the Fox Theater- starry night sky ceiling and fantastic acoustics.
Beyond phenomenal- and always wondered if there were any bootleg tapes of that show. We sat in the front table/row and were just drinking bourbon, and were completely amazed at the musicianship.
This brings back the feel of those times, acoustic music wise:
Delaney & Bonne and Duane Allman (playing Robert Johnson’s “Come on In My Kitchen”). Go Gators!:
