After 24 minutes, they finally wind it down following one last burst of organ creativity from Gregg.
This transitions into a dreamy section, recalling the spacier sections on live versions of "Whipping Post," before they veer off into another hot jam with everyone trading solos.
This sequence is reminiscent of vintage Allman Brothers with the twin leads soaring. Around 16:30 into this jam, Betts begins playing a Duane-like solo and Elvin Bishop follows in unison. Gregg takes a fine organ solo followed by several minutes of guitar interplay. Once all these musicians get comfortable, the jam begins to take off. A minute or so later Steve Miller adds another guitar to the proceedings and Buddy Miles takes over one of the drum kits. Nothing outstanding, but a fun little romp to get the band heading in another direction.Īt this point, bluesman John Lee Hooker joins everyone and begins one of his signature boogies, "Hey Hey My My." Around the six-minute mark some interesting slide solos develop between Bishop and Betts.
They begin with "Fannie Mae," now with Bishop on lead vocals and guitar. The fun really begins when the band invites Elvin Bishop on stage and they begin to play unfamiliar music. Their hit single, "Ramblin' Man" is next, followed by "Statesboro Bues," but the band really begins to hit their stride with "You Don't Love Me," pursuing more adventurous jamming endeavors. The band's enthusiasm level increases on "Come and Go Blues," which features another memorable piano solo from Leavell. In addition, it's nice to hear Gregg and Dickey singing together. The same applies to "Blue Sky," though the slower pace lends itself to a lovely piano solo from Leavell. "Midnight Rider" is up next, played here at an unusually slow pace. Although marred by significant fiddling with the mix, a dedication is next made to the fallen brothers, Duane Allman and Berry Oakley, before they begin the classic "One Way Out." A nice slow blues arrangement of T-Bone Walker's "Stormy Monday" follows, which begins with an unusual piano/guitar sequence not commonly played by the band. The recording misses the first song, "Wasted Words" and begins in progress with "Done Somebody Wrong," here played in a very laid back manner. Still there are enjoyable moments and some interesting guests joining them onstage. Understandably, this night never reaches the incredible heights of the previous night and is a far more relaxed affair in comparison.
