Was Duane Allman imPEACHed?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eat_a_Peach

The widespread story regarding the origin of the album's title, that the truck involved in Duane Allman's fatal motorcycle accident was a peach truck, is not correct; the truck involved was actually a flatbed lumber truck. The name actually came from something Duane said in an interview shortly before he was killed. When asked what he was doing to help the anti-war effort, Duane replied, "There ain't no revolution, it's evolution, but every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace; the two-legged Georgia variety." The album's name was originally slated to be The Kind We Grow in Dixie, and the artwork for the album showed a peach. Band members were dissatisfied with the name, and the image suggested Duane's quote instead.

This album came close on the heels of their breakthrough At Fillmore East set and featured live tracks that did not make it onto that album, including boogie classic "One Way Out" and two entire album sides devoted to "Mountain Jam", a 33-minute improvisation based around Donovan's song "There is a Mountain."

The remainder of the album was recorded in-studio and served to cement the Brothers' reputation as innovative Southern rockers. Several tracks featured a new emphasis on more lyrical acoustic work, notably on "Melissa" and the guitar classic "Little Martha." The lilting "Blue Sky" became an album-oriented rock radio staple, while "Ain't Wastin' Time No More" served as both a quiet generational anthem and a personal statement of purpose by the band in the face of Duane's death.

Two, actually.

I ate two plums as well today. Yum

Dat's what I meant. :D

heh.

:toast:

but something cultivated much farther south than Georgia
:)

And everyone else that night as well....June 26th 1971....The following night, the 27th, was closing night at the FE, forever...Great, but, it wasn't quite the same....(On the 27th, that's when the tape was rolling)...NOT on the 26th for some reason, they just never rolled the tape...I went to many Fillmore West shows but from what I read from many, it was the 26th at the Fillmore East that it was ALL-TIME kick ass show stopper... They were perfect that night on the 26th! Even the Bros, Dead & Graham were congratulating themselves that night of the 26th, which is extremely rare for a Duane & the Bros led perfectionist band!!

Wish I had been there.

Edit: Sorry, I see you corrected that.

"Searching For the Sound".

for being too well stocked. :)

He's a certified rat who looks like a bloated goat

Listened to that album over and over driving through the South in a sweltering heat wave, on the backroads avoiding the freeways, the summer I got out of the Army. At roadside stands you could buy jars of hot vegetables pickled with chili peppers...

guitar. What a musician.

And one sorely missed.

In Memory
