Well, I've got to run to keep from hidin',
And I'm bound to keep on ridin'.
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no,
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing,
And the road goes on forever,
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

And I've gone by the point of caring,
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing,
And I've got one more silver dollar,

But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.

Strange the number of comments on RP complaining about Neil Young's vocals, but no-one seems to mind this screeching.

Dicky Betts and Barry Oakley, Duane, Greg, the drummers. Ho man, sent from the heavens to join and give us pleasure.

I totally agree and I totally disagree...two bands who each hold their own.

And BTW, I remember I read somewhere that the Dead where admirers of the Allman Brothers because of their way of jamming.

Everything recorded there was GOLD. Of course, this was not on the Live at Fillmore East Album. Must have been tough deciding what would go on there at the time

This is beyond Godlike when I hear the FLAC version. Yes, one of the best live albums ever.

Several years back, I heard Bill comment at the end of the this song "Ahhhh ... The Allman Brothers ... at the height of their powers".  So true and of course cemented my love for RP :)

RIP, Gregg Allman. You are the author of some of the greatest American music and the namesake head man in one of the greatest jam bands anyone has ever heard. Let's put 'Jessica' on an endless loop.

Interesting version, not on the original Fillmore album, as I recall.
Yeah, I know, Dickie was an angry redneck, but he was the real deal, he wrote this and was largely responsible for their sound. Deserved better treatment.

Catch them this year whilst Trucks and Haynes are still in the band.  Very tight.  Superb playing (and you ain't gonna hear it this good agin'//)

There have been various multi-disc "expanded" versions of this CD. Probably from one of those.

One of the best live rock albums of all time.

But don't take my word for it. One listen to Stormy Monday should do it for ya... And this take was released only much later than the original double album.

It's been Ages since I've heard the studio version of this song and far longer since I listened to this album. Great song, great band.
