Bob, there's a lot of very good music on your list. I'm sure that the first ABB I heard was Don't want you no more, into Not my Cross to bear on the first LP....we were just blown away...nothing else like it. That entire record just killed us. I can't find my original copy...but I've got the Beginnings set and my original, 1st edition, hot off the presses Live at Fillmore...that really did us in. We were covering as much Allman material as possible in 1971 at dive bars near Hagerstown on Rt 11 & Rt 40
I can remember a friend of mine in high school band turning me on to Cream and hearing Crossroads for the first time. That blew my mind and I started on a path of discovering the blues artists. I was real fortunate to catch Muddy Waters at the Marble Bar in Baltimore around 1978.
I practiced my drum kit with headphones, playing with the live Crossroads on Wheels of Fire in '68...that must have made my parents neighbors totally crazy.
Crossroads was the first “real” guitar song I connected with and learned to play. I moved on from Clapton really quickly once I heard Duane, but for about 10 years he was a talisman for sure.
