Verbalize the Positive
A large thank you to my friend James Tallon for loaning me this double LP ages ago and for his patience while I took far too long before finally reviewing it!

Kings of Long songs
Absolutely Deke – a funny contrast with a punk album I heard on the 1001 list last year, where the group did 14 songs in 15 minutes!
hahaha…thats awesome!
Outstanding album receiving excellent stephen1001 appraisal. Almost a candidate for the ‘zero word’ challenge!
My thanks Bruce – it may be in the vicinity of the #200wordchallenge too, I may have to do a word count!
I hadn’t heard this one until recently. Our mutual pal, HMO, gifted me a copy and it’s been hogging the platter… like you, I couldn’t complain one bit about the time they spend jamming. I mean, who needs to hear songs when the band is that good?
He is a fine mutual pal!
This is my first Allman Brothers adventure – I imagine, if I need to hear an emphasis on lyrics, I can hear the studio recordings (unless they’re also 20 minute jamming tracks!)
My first, too. I have Brothers and Sisters on the list after a recommendation from another mutual pal (Bruce). I’ll get to it!
And that’s definitely another reliable source/mutual pal!
Very efficient review of an album with zero wasted notes !
My thanks HMO – it’s funny that with some doubles, arguments are made that things ought to be trimmed. Though if so much as a second of the 23 minutes and 3 seconds of Whipping Post were edited, it just wouldn’t sound quite right here!
Possibly your best work yet my friend. Like a good live album, you continue to surprise and inspire me.
Much appreciated Mike – that’s a really nice compliment!
All my compliments are honest. It’s a flaw of mine.
If it’s a flaw, it’s as nice a flaw as one could have!
I love this album! This and Eat a Peach!
Sounds like Eat a Peach will be my second Allman Brothers adventure!
Get ready for Mountain Jam! They couldn’t even contain it to only one side of the LP!
Just looked it up – that’s priceless, it takes up sides 2 and 4!
It is a thing of beauty!
You’ve brightened my mood. I once questioned….now I’m a believer! Roll on The Allmans, I’m ready for you
Enjoy Geoff!
Hahaha DATA NOT FOUND.
That about sums it up, right there!
I was simply incapable of complaining about this one!
