Up to 'Brothers and Sisters' I was a big, but for me they lost it over the next few albums and I never got back into them. How could they be the Allman Brothers without Duane duh? Might've been better to have changed their name. Some of the retrospective releases have been top notch like 1996's 'Fillmore East' live. Mind you 'Seven turns ' is pretty good but I have nt heard 'Hittin the note'. Maybe I should take my blinkers off, but it's one thing to lose Duane, but with Dickey Betts also out of the band, I'm a little prejudiced.
