“The Allman Brothers” then and now are still my favorite band. They were what I would call a true Improvisational Jam Band that blended Rock, Jazz and Blues into a great sound that has really never been duplicated since then.
Have always felt that Duane Allman has never really gotten his due as master guitarist and Dicky Betts wasn't far behind.
I think their two best extended songs were “You Don't Love Me” and “Mountain Jam”. It really doesn't get any better than that if you like Southern Rock and still holds up today.

Duane Allman was a smokin’ player. He would blow Dickie Betts off the stage in their call and response solos. Smoked Clapton on Layla. Too bad he died so young.

Favorite Souther Rock tune(s).....

Juke Joint Jump - Elvin Bishop.

Cabio Diablo - Charlie Daniels Band

Trouble in Paradise - Souther, Hillman, Fury Band.

I couldn’t agree with you more.
My favorite is “One Way Out”. The volume gets turned way up when that one comes on.
