Updated info!! Please read all who already downloaded. Thanks to our friend SteVe my questions about the songs in the 1969 set list have been answered. The recording is actually from January 24, 1970 not January 24, 1969. This is just one of the reasons I think I have the best visitors & friends a blog like this can have. The help in figuring out when I make a mistake. I still wonder why The Allman Brothers Band was playing at a venue the size of The Whiskey A-Go-Go. Was it some kind of showcase gig? Was it a prestige thing like playing The Bottom Line in New York City? I remember reading an issue of Rolling Stone when I was a school kid (my Mom made sure I had a subscription from the age of 10 or 11 till I moved out of the house) about Bruce Springsteen playing The Bottom Line and I laughed because the place was way too small for the ticket demand. I figure it would be the same for The Allman Brothers Band playing at a venue as small as The Whiskey.
I have always loved "Dreams", the lyrical theme and the kind of haunted feel of Gregg's vocal delivery. It could easily be called one of my favorite Allman Brothers songs. That being said I have to say I absolutely love the Molly Hatchet version. They didn't just cover it, they made it reflect their own musical dreams. The vocal deliveries of the 2 differing versions really makes the feel of the entire song. Gregg Allman seems to channel the haunted feeling of a man far beyond his young years at the time he recorded the original. Molly Hatchet lead vocalist Danny Joe Brown's delivery is that of a young man not yet bent by the odds against his dreams fruition. One summons a character devoid of hope almost ready to pack it in. The other summons the image of a young man, fist tightly clenched saying not today damn it. The song itself was written with so much passion built in it every rendition is bound to pull you in somehow.
