Duane Allman was the best guitar player and band leader the world will ever see.Can you imagine what he would've accomplished had he lived? He lived fast and you know what comes from that. His accident was an undescribable tragedy. His spirit and musical legacy was so strong it propelled his band to do some of the best music for the next 40 yrs thanks to Dickey,Gregg,Warren,& Derek. Good job guys! Duane would've been so proud of his brother Gregg for continuing forward with the brothers & his accomplished solo carrer.He left quite the legacy himself.Diane was the best and the best that will ever be. Sorry Jimi,sorry Eric,sorry Jeff.

I think you've really captured the true essence of such a beautiful spirit. Not a day passes that I don't listen some Duane. He was a complete guitarist with a distinct style, tone and emotion. Thank you for expressing this in your article.

The Allman Brothers live album at Filmore East can never be topped. I have gone to and listened to so many bands since 1969 and it tops them all. I can listen to it over and over. Thank you Duane, Dickey, Gregg, Barry, Butch and Jaimoe. 😎✌️♥️

Just listen to Picketts version of Hey Jude. What’s the big difference? And I was looking for Duane Allman’s version and couldn’t find it. I was just really curious.

"It's almost like he's with us," Gregg Allman. Profound. I sense that in the times I saw the Allman Brothers play. Always wished I’d seen Duane live. But his essence prevails.

The Allman musical tree holds multiple generations who are stellar contributors to the crafting of good music. I am very sure Duane stands proud of all his family.
