Regarding The Allman Brothers comparison.....
The 1970 version starts off with "In Memory of Elizabeth Reid".... it’s obvious that the band hasn’t found their groove yet. Thinking about it....it’s pretty amazing that they sounded sooo much better on the later lp, like a couple of years had gone by instead of several months.
The sonics aren’t as good. Let me rephrase that....there is a different microphone set-up, the soundstage is narrower. A completely different set-up for sure. It doesn’t sound awful, just not nearly as good. "Statesboro Blues"...bass is AWAL.
