Come & Go Blues is among my ABBsolute all-time favorite Gregg songs. Amazing that that version is in front of 600,000 people. I came to the Allman Brothers in 1992 and skipped buying Wipe the Windows because it wasn't Duane and was supposedly of lesser quality because the band was in disarray. After seeing them for the first time in November 1993, I went & bought Wipe the Windows the *next* day. "If they're this good in 1993, imagine how great they were in 1973!" was my thinking. Helped really open up the entirety of the Allman Brothers to me. Because it opened my ears to the genius of the Chuck/Lamar lineup in a new way.
This album has had a magnetic hold on me ever since I fell in love with the ABB. I could go on and on, but I'm so glad you chose to put the spotlight on Lamar Williams and Dollar Gas. "Come and Go Blues" is the track that's had the deepest, most personal impact over the years. Funny how great music works. It's as if that recording found me instead of the other way around! Long live the ABB.
