I don't think Dickey Betts plays the "memorable" middle section. You can clearly here the second (Betts) solo give way to the noodly abstract, rhythmless segment at 10:15. After this Betts is still playing. Isn't that Allman coming back in at 13:24? RR 2/19/07 [74.64.12.82]

  • I know what you're saying ... that entrance sounds more like Allman's tone. However to my ears it's still coming out of the right channel, which is Betts' (it doesn't help that the other guitar goes quiet during this time). Moreover everything I've read credits the entire stretch between the second and third vocal parts to Betts (which doesn't mean it's right, of course). Anyway, I've greatly expanded the description of the performance, but I've left your language in related to this question and elsewhere. Wasted Time R 22:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


  • On the At Fillmore East album, is that Duane introducing the song? I have the recording, and it sounds like Gregg to me. Cubs Fan 00:10, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
