I am trying to see if I can find any alternative streams - this is the best so far, though not the actual album: http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/concer...rtID=1656|7096 )

I've decided to go for what I think is a classic album.
the reason is that I don't really do classics but I love this album to pieces. It catches the classic line up with Duane and Gregg Allman along with Dickie Betts taking their music from the record and making them feel so fresh and involved. Taking songs and expanding them almost improv style and keeping your attention - there's a couple of very long tracks on there.
I don't think there's another album I've bought more versions of. Originally it was released as a double cd set and then re-issued with the same music all on one CD, when cd time approached 80 mins. Classic reissued it on double vinyl and subsequently a Deluxe CD version has been released with the cirrect running order and with all the tracks from the concert.
Due to the lenght of a some of the songs the running order was never correct on vinyl to allow.
Duane Allman was best known, I think at the time, for Derek and The Dominoes and he was a talent sadly cut short.
