The Allman Brothers Band- HOLLYWOOD BOWL 1972 With Johnny Winter- CD- 2014-
- Smokin’ Production- 823564639925- 400 grn
When The Allman Brothers Band initially began soldiering on as a quintet in 1972, following the death of Duane, it was Berry Oakley who most filled in the sizable gap, playing with a newfound ferocity and focus. This slice of The Allman Brothers at the HOLLYWOOD BOWL in August of 1972, clearly displays the band continuing to forge their musical vision following on from Duanes death. Capturing their set, as well as the first of two encores with Texas guitar slinger Johnny Winter as a guest, the group's music still has plenty of fire, inspired jamming and that intangible spiritual quality that was at the heart of their finest work.
PERSONNEL: Gregg Allman - vocals, Hammond B3 organ; Dickey Betts - guitar; Berry Oakley - bass; Butch Trucks - drums, percussion; Jai Johanny Johanson - drums, percussion; Guest: Johnny Winter - guitar, vocal.
Few bands could have recovered from such tragic personnel losses, as did The Allman Brothers Band. After the death of Duane Allman in 1971 and Berry Oakley the following year, few would have thought The Allman Brothers Band would carry on or could ever again be relevant. Bassist Berry Oakley was the band member most responsible for re-establishing band unity following Duane's death. With Gregg too devastated, it was Oakley who became the band's de facto leader and he is generally credited with keeping the distraught band members going. Oakley's long, melodic bass runs were often responsible for propelling the direction of the music, as well as anchoring the songs during the group's extended improvisations. Rarely recognized for his groundbreaking musicianship, Oakley was an equal to the most innovative electric bass players of his generation, extending its role as much as Jack Bruce, Jack Casady, and Phil Lesh did within their respective bands and influencing countless bass players to follow. Despite the absence of the fluid and melodic twin guitar harmonies of Dickey and Duane, the group still sounds remarkably strong, not unlike the Eat A Peach material they were recording at the time. It's a remarkably strong performance that precedes the set closer. The sound of Oakley's modified Fender bass, nicknamed "Tractor," is bone crunching and it is he who leads the way into the penultimate performance of the evening. When they return for an encore, the brilliant Texas guitarist, Johnny Winter, has joined the group on stage. Without further ado, they launch into Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode." Although unrehearsed, the performance crackles with raw energy, featuring Winter on vocals and both he and Betts taking turns shredding on guitar. Although the second encore (a cover of Elmore James' "Dust My Broom") was unfortunately not captured due to the tape stock running out, what remains is a delightful example of likeminded musicians having a lot of fun just winging it for the sheer delight of playing together.
