Forever reminds me of my guitar-jammin' rock'n'roller housemate Kenny B., from Springfield, MO, who often used to jam this and other priceless gems at our house at 211 Elliot Drive in Rolla in our E-School days. Lots of kegs, weed, windowpane, and festivities at our wild weekend parties; thankfully, our neighbors were cool!

I like the Allman Brothers, but I don't need to hear this much guitar jamming. While it pains me to do it I have to mark this song down to Ho-Hum. In the first minute I marked it a 8, then every minute or two I marked it down another notch.

My comment:
Two things: I think of jamming as a band riffing away on a particular theme.  While there must have been an element of making it up as they went, the centerpiece of the number is one long ass and well structured solo. 

Also, you listened to the whole song just to fully experience how much you hate it?  Brother, you've got way too much time on your hands.

Harsh, but understandable. In due time perhaps she came to realize she was just another girlfriend.  So you might retitle this track In Memory of Whatzername.

I'm intrigued by its obverse.  What would constitute EXCITING guitar masturbation? Since imho, and many others here--and at a mere 7.8, is clearly undervalued--this is simply one of the reddest hot live tracks ever, please enlighten us.

Some of us need to hear MORE guitar jamming.  The jamming is one reason to have extraordinary guitarists in the band. 
Have to mark down that comment accordingly.  A 5.

The finest live rock album ever recorded. I sure did rock out my neighbors in NJ playing it on my parents 100 watt Magnavox back in the day. I also recall time was you'd attend a concert by any other band and someone in the crowd would shout out "Whippin' Post!" to whatever band was on stage. Like previous posters in here I too have worn out four vinyl copies, several eight tracks and cassettes and fortunately the .mp3's live on.  Thanks Bill!
 
Oops, scrolling down through the posts I see I already made my remarks a year ago. Worth repeating just the same.

Well, maybe not every day for ever, but a 'box set binge day' of all the Allman Brothers's albums would be epic.

Umm, we have a whole gaggle of dancing banana guitar playing emojis, and a bunch of 10s to match. Yet this is polling only an average 8. These fellows were, are, the Beethoven of country blues rock. Who with musical soul rates Beethoven at 7 or 8?

I remember visiting a friends house in college and someone had put this on the stereo. I had not heard it before, and my friend turned to me and said "wait, you've never heard Elizabeth Reed before? as he handed me a smoke. The next ten minutes were spent in complete disbelief, as I heard the song in its entirety.  After I picked my jaw up off the floor, we listed to the rest of the album. I was subsequently blown away, and Live at Fillmore East remains a staple in my desert Island disc collection.  This is a master performance of incredible guitar playing.

At the tender age of 12, I saw them live.  Jammin' was what was done in live concerts back then, and I totally was into it....Everyone was.  I remember being in total awe of Dickie Betts.   And the band being so in tune with each other.  This song is an awesome example of their talents and how good they sounded live.

As you may or may not know Duane and Greg grew up and went to school here in Daytona Beach.  My brother and 2nd wife went to high school with Greg and she had the dubious distinction of getting kicked out of Algebra class with him.  Being older and having gone off to serve my country I never knew them but remember the Almann Joys playing at a youth nightclub in Daytona.

The "Summer Jam".  There were something like 600,000 people there.  That was after both Duane and Barry were gone.

I was a young but huge Allman Bros fan.  I lived in Ithaca, only about 25 miles away from Watkins Glen.  I was just out of 9th grade but when over half a million people showed up my overprotective parents put a stop to my plans.

I finally got to see them 35 years later with the Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes lineup.
 
I remember that weekend - vaguely. I drove down with some friends to Watkins Glen. Took all night to work my way through the crowds from where we parked to the front where the stage was.

Summer '73 actually.  I was conceived shortly after, pretty sure the concert had something to do with it (and partially my taste in music).  I know the date pretty well because of this... ;-)

Hah!  Duanne was not physically present THEN, but the Allman Brothers Band played the Field House in 1980. The Outlaws opened.

The rumour was the Iowa City venue was the last live show Duanne played in before he died.  Not sure if that is true.

It may be that to understand this you had to be listening to music in the late 60s/early 70s, when a lot of bands were doing long jams —- for instance, Cream's Wheels of Fire had a couple of 10+ minute jams on it.  (As a musician, it instilled in me both a lot of bad habits and an enhanced ability to improvise —- a classic mixed blessing.)

Like a lot of other stuff played here, once a month is fine.

I am so seriously jealous.

I five finger discounted this album when I was about 12 years old and ended up falling in love with the band and blues because of it. Saw the band the first time when I was about 14, after Duane died, in New Haven. Wore the grooves outta the vinyl on my borrowed copy. Bought the album five times over in various formats, making up for my borrowed copy. Ended up living across the street from the old Fillmore East for a time. Imaging that! Fell in love at least three time while listening to this album. Have seen the band probably ten times at the Beacon and remember about 2/3 of the concerts; which is probably a pretty good ratio. A constant theme throughout my life, indeed.

But you were there! As I said, I am so seriously jealous.

I was there on Saturday night!  One of a few claims to fame I have.  A remarkable moment in time!  The sound in the Fillmore was amazing and few venues today can match the quality.

I'm a fan of the Allmans overall, although I personally prefer Skynyrd, but I've never liked this song that much. Seems to get away from the Southern Rock feel that most of their music has.

This sure does sound like Camel. Or maybe Camel sounded like the Allman Brothers. Or maybe they both sounded like someone else. Anyway, pleasant and inoffensive enough, and it appears to have survived the passage of decades without becoming retro naff like, ooh I dunno, the Grateful Dead. The sort of instrumental that could grow on you. 5 from the Nottingham jury.

Incredible the range of comments for this tune; count me among the thumbs up crowd, if you ever saw them live and weren't energized, you weren't really listening....solid 9. IMHO one of the measuring sticks for a live performance is the ability of the band to sound like the studio version (the music) , the Brothers were outstanding. one man's 'incessant noodling' is another's sweet science
 

{#Yes}  They are truly an American original.

I like the Allman Brothers, but I don't need to hear this much guitar jamming.  While it pains me to do it I have to mark this song down to Ho-Hum.  In the first minute I marked it a 8, then every minute or two I marked it down another notch.
 
How can you like the ABB and not like guitar jams? This is the band that has played host to Duane Allman, Dickie Betts, Jimmy Herring, Derek Trucks, Les Dudek, and Warren Haynes!

What, all you like by them is "Ramblin' Man"?

Oh, wait, that song is about 1/2 guitar solo. {#Think}
