Trivia ... that most of you probably know:
The Atlanta airport was just beginning to grow when the Brothers made this album. "Idlewild" was the New York airport now known as John F Kennedy International; at the time the busiest airport in the world.
Since the the Brothers were flying all over the place from Atlanta, they dubbed ATL as "Idlewild South". ATL has since grown into the busiest passenger airport in the world, surpassing Idlewild/JFK in 1988.

Don't do drugs, kids. You could end up sounding like the Allman Brothers.

In the mid 70's I saw a concert with Elvin Richard Bishop, Marshal Tucker and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The first two bands did an encore and the whole thing ran so late that Skynard never got to "Sweet Home Alabama".
On our way home we stopped at a McDonald's. It turns out that Bishop stopped at the same. He was being driven in an identical car to mine and we where only parked 3 or 4 spots away. He tried to get into our car. It was a bit odd. Easy mistake to make both cars where Ford station wagons which where a very light blue. Other than these two cars I have never seen cars of this color.
Oh and it was a great concert.
Best concert I ever saw was CSNY with the Greg Allman Band warming up. Only time I've ever seen a warm-up band get called out for an encore. Halfway through the encore, Steve Stills ambled out, plugged in his guitar and began to jam with the band for another 15 minutes or so. Place went absolutely nuts. Great show.

If the tent you refer to was called Music Carnival at the Thistledown Racetrack, I was there for that show, the first show. There were two that day.
The band arrived late due to some interference by the Ohio Highway Patrol coming up from Columbus to Cleveland. They apologized profusely for the delay, said they would make up for it and proceeded to put on one awesome show. Third and last time I saw the original lineup. Duane and Berry left us shortly after this tour. I've seen the ABB more than any other over my lifetime. Roughly 10 times at least. One particularly great show was for the Brothers and Sister's album. Catching Chuck Leavell on piano was a real treat.
Timeless. Just some 40+ yesterday's jumped in a buddy's Pontiac and drove to Cleveland for a last weeekend of freeedom fling before another buddy went and joined the Jesuits. One of the activities in that beer and smoke filled weekend was seeing these guys in a concert under a huge tent. Awesome concert, great weekend, wonderful memories...

One of the advantages to age is realizing that yes, albums released the year I was born can be totally awesome. 
This song is soooo good it puts a spring in my step this winter evening!!!!

You're kidding, TIC, right? The form is a good ol' time gospel, Bible thumpin' tent revival—an American (mostly Southern) Christian invention and convention. Gee whiz, the name of the song is "Revival," a clue, yes?

I think the Allmans believed in mushrooms a lot more than they believed in Christ.
How sad for them.

From Wikipedia, the undisputed knower of all things:
How did Allan Woody (the bassplayer) die? Does anyone know?
From Wikipedia, the undisputed knower of all things:
Allen Woody joined the Allman Brothers Band along with guitarist Warren Haynes upon the group's reunion in 1989. Woody and Haynes formed side project Gov't Mule in 1994 with drummer Matt Abts. The two of them decided to leave the Allman Brothers Band in 1997 to put a full-time effort into Gov't Mule. Woody died in 2000, leaving behind his wife Jenny and daughter Savannah. The cause of his death was a heroin overdose.
Not my favorite version of this song (I think this is on one of the "An Evening With The Allman Brothers" discs — and it absolutely smokes there!) but I still like it anyway.

My Dad didn't like much my 'our modern music - he was rooted in Jazz and Swing of the 40s but he liked this track.
He died last week - funeral this Friday

Don't think I'll ever tire of hearing this classic Allman Bros. tune.
Love this tune, but then again, I'm very biased. This was my intro and outro music during my oh-so-short dabbling in the dee-jay biz... 1972, or thereabouts, Armed Forces Network, in Sinop, Turkey.
Thanks for lighting off some long-dormant synapses, Bill!

Anybody see the "Allmans" at 'Summer Jam' in Watkins Glen in 1973. I was there with 600,000 other 'hippies'. They were incredible.
Nope. I was only 4 in 1973. But, I am very jealous of you for having been there. Watkins Glen is legendary, not only for the Allmans, but for the Dead shows that happened there as well.
I did see the Allman Brothers at the 1994 incarnation of Woodstock. It was incredible. They played on Sunday morning. We had been there since Thursday night, and by Sunday, my whole view on life seemed different! The rain on Saturday had been incredible. It had poured, and by late Saturday night (after Aerosmith played despite a pouring rain), the die hards were being separated from the casual fans. People started streaming out of the concert area after they learned that there was no longer any dry land anywhere in the vicinity, and that mud was now a way of life.
I remember thanking my lucky stars for my Boy Scout training (put the tent up immediately upon arrival, and on high ground!!) and that I was not nearly as drunk as my friends when we arrived (some of whom left while I was puting up the tent on Thursday night, not to be seen again until Monday morning back at the car), for I had a dry and comfortable place to sleep on and off a few hours over the weekend.
Anyway, I was largely dry, happy and awake when the Allmans took the stage early on Sunday morning. I carefully navigated the rivers of mud in order to get close to the stage to see the Allmans. Either everyone else was trying to get a few hours of sleep after Aerosmith (they played nearly until 4AM with fireworks at the end -- it stopped raining by then, sort of), or they had gone home. So, I was right up near the stage for their performance, and for the brief time that they played, the sun was out and it was warm.
How lucky did I feel? It was awesome. Here was this legendary band on stage, and I was right up front! They played a lot of the tunes that they are known for, including this song. It was a wierd intimate setting, or so it seemed, and their music filled my cold weary heart with warmth.
I will never forget that weekend or the Allman Bros. performance!

this brings back so many great memories.
Was good until the singing and tamborines started.
I suppose I'm just a sucker for nice guitar harmony, but I really enjoy this.
The Allman Brothers: the world' most boring rambling dose of mediocrity. I can't. Stand. This band.
The Allman Brothers and other bands were part of a whole movement of Gospel/country rock bands that peeled the finishes off their Strats. The AB, Stills (mentioned below ... think of his Manssas album), and lotsof others, including Delaney & Bonnie And Friends (they toured with Clapton, recorded with Tina Turner, Eddie Kendricks, Clapton, King Curtis, Dave Mason, Billy Preston, Duane Someone-Or-Other, Leon Russell) ... just for a start. You don't have to like it. Just recognize that it was a huge gig in the late 60s and early 70s. It blazed trails for so much of what we hear today. Hey, just listen to the Counting Crows "Rain King," playing right now. Can't say there's no Alman influence there.
This early stuff by the Allman Brothers in the 70's is so great. Thanks Bill!

What amazes me is that this was made when the band members were in their very early 20s. Too bad kids so rarely care about learning to really play instruments anymore.
That's a concert! Luv much of A Bros, but this song is among my very least favorite.........

Yeah, the guy's got issues.. and the rest of the band just got tired of dealing with them. The good news is that now we have the ABB & Dickey's band Great Southern making twice as much good music.

Hey, spare a thought for the rest of the globe! 'Classic Rock' stations across Europe are only aware of Jessica (short version!) and what else is classed as 'classic' can be very debatable. The more ABB on the global airwaves, the better, I say.
