[edit] Song Info
Various other versions of the song appear in other Allman Brothers Band live albums. The song starts with a "jazzy" keyboard intro, followed by a short guitar intro by Dickey Betts. This is followed by a keyboard solo which is then followed by a guitar solo by Duane Allman. This is one of few Allman songs that features a drum duet, and also one of the few in which the drumming is powerful. It is all capped by the timpani playing of drummer Butch Trucks.
