Saturday Morning Classic Rocker

The album was a two-record set called "Eat a Peach." When it released Duane Allman was already gone, a victim of a motorcycle accident with a lumber truck. The story goes that in an interview someone asked Duane whether he had a "cause" that he supported. His reply was that whenever he returned to Georgia he would "eat a peach for peace."

There are more recent videos of Mountain Jam, but they simply highlight how great Duane Allman was. The Allman part is now handled by Derek Trucks, the son of band drummer Butch Trucks. Dickie Betts still pretty good!
