Reddit reviews Skydog - The Duane Allman Story

Great Documentary includes a cool story about Gregg Allman nailing Midnight Rider on the first take. Definitely worth a watch for any Allman Brothers fan, as are the Duane Allman Biography and the Gregg Allman Autobiography. That being said, Duane was definitely the driving force behind the Allman Brothers Band. He was the true leader of the group.

I didn't realize it til just now, but I was actually listening to Buddy Miles' cover of Dreams because of Youtube's autoplay when I initially made my comment. Despite that though, TABB still has done a cover of Them Changes before - from their 3/39/2009 show at the Beacon. They had former members of King Curtis' Kingpins sitting in (Bernard Purdie, Jerry Jemmott, etc.), the band that famously opened for and backed up Aretha Franklin during her 3 night run at Fillmore West in 1971. If you've never listened to those shows, Ray Charles showed up unexpectedly and sat in for Spirit In The Dark. You can read more about those performances in this post.

Basically, King Curtis and Duane Allman were very close. Shortly after King was murdered, TABB covered Soul Serenade in tribute to him during their A&R Studios show, which I consider one of the best TABB recordings out there. Gregg, Duane, and King all sat in with Delaney and Bonnie in a different A&R show that is absolutely worth checking out.

EDIT: I recommend reading these two books: Skydog: The Duane Allman Story and Chronicles of King Curtis.
