The Allman Brothers Band was an American rock band formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1969. Its founding members were brothers Duane Allman (slide guitar, lead guitar) and Gregg Allman (vocals, keyboards, songwriting), as well as Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jai Johanny “Jaimoe” Johanson (drums). Subsequently based in Macon, Georgia, they incorporated elements of blues, jazz and country music and their live shows featured jam band-style improvisation and instrumentals. The band’s first two studio albums, The Allman Brothers Band (1969) and Idlewild South (1970), both released by Capricorn Records, stalled commercially but their 1971 live album At Fillmore East was a critical and commercial breakthrough. It included extended versions of “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” and “Whipping Post”, showcasing the group’s jamming style. Group leader Duane was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1971; however the band continued, releasing Eat a Peach in 1972, a dual studio/live album that cemented the band’s popularity and featured Gregg’s “Melissa” and Betts’s “Blue Sky”.
