Song History
Played a few times in 2008 after debuting at the 2007 Atlanta Piedmont Park show with Greg Allman guesting on guitar and vocals. At that show, Dave introduced it as one of his favorite songs "ever written in the world." The song was originally released on the Allman Brothers' 1972 LP "Eat a Peach," which was their first release after the death of Duane Allman.
