  1. they formed a major part of my musical environment for decades, influencing my musical eduction out of classical (12 years) and into a lifetime of blues jazz and bluegrass. I hold them in the heart like family.

  2. Is that Duane or Dickey on lead? And who's the dude on bass - is that Berry? Are you sure this video isn't from after the crash(es)?

  3. Hell yes - this is from way after Duane and Berry's deaths. Dickie and Les wrote this one, and it was released in 1973 - 2 yrs after Duane's death and a year after Berry's.

  4. You are of course correct. I was blogging too fast. I've fixed the title.

  5. Either way it's a classic.
    Can't listen to this without smiling.

  6. That's Dickey Betts on the lead. I remember seeing the Alman Brothers in concert around this time. Sigh. Love their music.
