Well, there´s some great music piling up in this thread - plenty of worthy material to investigate, even if some of it is drifting away from the Allman Brother´s sound.

Psy-Fi´s post of the Mark O´Connor/Bela Fleck version of Freeborn Man reminded me of The Outlaws, who do a great version of it too:-



Another staple of the Outlaw´s repertoire was a song they wrote themselves; a ten-minute track when it first appeared on their 1975 self-titled album, here they are giving Green Grass and High Tides the full Allman Brothers treatment, a 23-minute-long guitar jam which sounds like what ? Well, to me it sounds like the Allman Brothers on a night when their playing was a little rougher than usual:-
