But, I really miss tge counterpoint guitar under the ending solo.
Of course, he'd have needed 2 or 3 other guitar players to do it.
He's in good voice here & his solos evoke what he did on the record without being a dead-on copy.
Enjoyed that

...I was at that concert. I was a college freshman. I had a girlfriend in 1972, a high school senior then, who was a big Allman Brothers fan and I know we saw them and did so on Long Island, because i wanted to impress her. We had great seats. In my memory though it wasn't Hofstra but CW Post. They're both in Nassau county near where she lived, Port Washington. I could be wrong; the memory is old as I am old.

That girlfriend was the first of my girlfriends over the years to dump me. I was devastated at the time.

Years later, when I was playing in my clubs myself, I always thought of her when doing my bastardized slide version of Tom T. Hall's Pamela Brown, a cheap effort to imitate Leo Kottke. It's a song about a guy who's grateful that he didn't get to marry the girl of his (then) dreams, and thus had a life.

If she had stuck with me as I would have liked, I'd probably be now facing the 20th or 30th year after my divorce, and of course without the woman I did marry, happily.

Thanks for the post. It brought back amusing memories.

In 1972 I had a different girlfriend; we broke up after the Watkins Glen festival.

It seems like the Allman Brothers and my love life were tightly intertwined in those days.

It is with some amazement I think back on who I was then, an oversexed and shallow Hippie.

Eventually I got better.
