Col. Bruce Hampton on the Allman Brothers Band’s first appearance at Atlanta’s Piedmont Park May 1969: "From the first time, they were just fantastic and Duane especially was supportive of many, many musicians and bands including ours. They were as good then as they ever got. They were on fire. The intent and the essence were there. It was just pure as hell. You could feel the purity in the fire in the intensity; nobody was playing checkers or talking business. This was music for music's sake." 📷️Twiggs Lyndon⁠
