      I totally agree with you about Blue Sky, Mark, but that is not what S-tier is for, according to A&A. S-tier is for genre-busting songs, or something like that. (Maybe "genre-busting" kinda equates with "revolutionary" or "redefines" or "opens up new frontiers.") Blue Sky *PERFECTS* its genre, it doesn't bust it. Maybe they need to have a "B-tier" for "so perfectly beautiful you could cry" -- anyway, that's how I feel about Blue Sky.

It’s certainly subjective and unique to each of us. I loved their reaction and S Tier score of CSN&Y’s Wooden Ships, which also has a similar effect on me.

    "One Way Out" next. It has a little different style than what you've listened to so far. Duane kills it. It's a live recording and it's great. Allman Bros live at the Fillmore East has long been considered one of the best live albums ever. "Southbound" is a great one too that's more straight forward rocker. It gives you another flavor yet.
    You still have several A+ songs left. "Dreams" is a longer, lost in the sauce. "Ain't Wasting Time No More" is the best song that you haven't heard yet. "Statesboro Blues" is a classic blues. "Little Martha" is an acoustic instrumental happy little song. "Revival" is yet another great jam. And "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is more in the vein of Melissa.
    These are all A+.

    The "Blue Sky" in the song is actually Dickey's girlfriend, soon to be wife, Sandy "Blue Sky" Wabegijib (whew! Had to look up that spelling!). This is truly one of the happiest, most upbeat songs I know! It ranks WAY up on my "All Time" list! The "Eat a Peach" album is fantastic from start to finish, and you really should hear it all. It's too important not to! If I had to cherry pick tracks to react to, I'd say do "Melissa" and "Little Martha" together. Both are short and wonderful! "Ain't Wasting Time No More" has exceptionally strong vocals by Greg and "One Way Out" is a fun romp about being the "back door man", with scorching slide runs by Duane. The epic instrumental "Mountain Jam" is over 18 minutes and probably too long for your situation. If you are looking for an instrumental (besides Little Martha), I'd do "Les Brers in A Minor" which features some fantastic bass work by Berry and some wonderful guitar/organ harmonies. Whether the reactions find their way onto the channel of not, you must hear this whole wonderful album! The isolated guitar tracks for Dickey, Duane, and Berry, are available on You Tube for Blue Sky. Here's Duane's ........czcams.com/video/0CHsk_GGUA0/video.html

    “Loan Me A Dime” by Boz Scaggs (with Duane Allman)
    The next Allman brothers song to react to isn’t an Allman Brothers Band song. It’s a Boz Scaggs song featuring an amazing extended guitar solo by Duane Allman. It predates the Allman Brothers Band first album by a few months. It was recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio where Duane had worked as a session musician. Duane had left to form a band with his brother, but was convinced to come back for a week because of Atlantic Records’ involvement in Boz’s album. The album was ignored at the time, but is now considered a classic and is on Rolling Stone’s list of top 500 albums of all time. I discovered it in the early 80’s when I saw it listed as the #1 greatest album in a book rating the albums of the rock era.

    Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident, he hit a Flatbed truck with crane on it Duane Allman was speeding along Hillcrest Avenue on his Harley-Davidson Sportster when he slowed to let a flatbed truck carrying a huge crane boom make a left-hand turn in front of him. Allman pulled his bike toward the center of the road so he could swing around the outside of the truck, but in the middle of its turn the flatbed suddenly rumbled to a stop. Unable to maneuver around or under the giant obstacle, Allman ran right into it. The crane’s weight ball knocked him off his Harley, which bounced up in the air and off of Allman’s chest before skidding to a stop along the curb. The guitarist was not killed instantly-in fact, he had no visible injuries except some bumps and scrapes-but died in surgery later that evening.

    The Allmans could be different bands depending on who was writing or singing between Gregg and Dickie. This song is pure Dickie Betts with country-infused rock and blues. For me it's never been a super big hit, but so smooth and so perfectly arranged with two fantastic guitarists trading easy licks throughout.

    The guitar work on Fillmore East especially "Stormy Monday and Elizabeth Reed " songs becomes alive and an extension of Duane and Dickey. Beyond the sounds of the guitars there is an emotion that comes through as if in crying out in angusih. I feel like the guitars become alive.

In those 3 years though, I listened to Eat a Peach and Brothers & Sisters and the Fillmore East albums like 100 times. So good.

      I feel ya. I too didn't know much about them growing up in the 70s, outside of Ramblin' Man and Midnight Rider. I kind of just ignored them. It wasn't until about 20 years ago when a guy I worked with at the time exposed me to them. He was a huge fan, and he started me off with Eat a Peach. That opened up a huge world for me, and I've been a fan ever since. Blue Sky might be my favorite by them.
