The Allman Brothers Band is a Southern rock band based in Macon, Georgia. The band was formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1969 by brothers Duane Allman (slide guitar and lead guitar) and Gregg Allman (vocals, organ). While the band has been called the "principal architects of Southern rock", they also incorporate elements of blues-rock and hard rock, and their live shows have jam band-style improvisation and instrumental songs. In 1971, George Kimball of the Rolling Stone Magazine hailed them as "the best damn rock and roll band" of "the past five years." The band has been awarded eleven Gold and five Platinum albums between 1971 and 2005. Rolling Stone ranked them 52nd on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time in 2004. Eric Clapton once called Duane Allman the best slide man ever. RIP Duane... god only knows how far you would have gone...I guess he wanted a blues playerup there!! In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed ...live at Great Woods...1991. I wish I had clips from this song when they did it at Fillmore when Duane and Berry Oakley were still alive. But I like this clip cause Dickie Betts FINALLY tells just who Elisabeth Reed was or at least how he named it. :) Enjoy... Better Times...Better Place
