Ramblin’ Man may be overplayed, but there’s a reason it was a #2 hit. It’s a damn good, catchy song.

It's fantastic. Just when you think you've heard it all, you get to hear that jam for the first time! I sent a link to the album to my trout fishing buddies who are all Allman Bros freaks. It def will light up some trout trips in the upper mid-west this spring!

Great version for sure. Check footnote 4 for my favorite 45min of ABB music that includes an amazing Jessica

You inspired me to give a listen to Wipe The Windows. Took it with me on my walk this AM. I enjoyed it a bunch. Liz Reed has some great work from Chuck!

such a cool document of a very important time in Allman Brothers Band history. It's easy to overlook it because of how much great music they played before and after it.

November 13, 1993? I saw them on either side of that night, in Gainesville and Cocoa! Derek guesting in Gainesville on the first show after Dickey's summer break and a real Mountain Jam! Two nights later at the Brevard County Fair, we were on the stage. Dickey handed me his pick that night. In the spring, Gregg had been singing Dickey's new tune "Change My Way of Living" but Dickey was now singing it in November. Had backstage passes from HTN in Cocoa and met Warren, Woody, Jaimoe and Marc that night. They all signed my ABB bandanna, which is wrapped around my rear view mirror to this day.

ABBsolutely outstanding. I had no idea of the drama that had been going on, I just remember being BLOWN AWAY by the old songs AND the new ones, BWIAB just slayed me. But it was Mtn Jam that really got me good. I had no idea it was such a rarity.

I actually saw the Smashing Pumpkins the next night, another mind-blowingly psychedelic concert.

Bought the book yesterday. Coming with me to Key West next week. Will check in after. We met briefly in Ron E's room last summer in Atlanta
