This week, to celebrate the Allmans’ annual Beacon run, we have just a single track. This meaty Mountain Jam, clocking in at thirty nine minutes, is the end of a high summer show in Charlotte that has some ups and downs in performance. But this song distills what’s best from a loose attitude into a truly interesting exploration.
Particularly noteworthy are the “Birldand” and “Afro Blue” themes that frame a long jungle trance bout of drums/bass segment. The latter is a crazed interpretation that drives the whole jam home — Derek grabs that lead without a half second’s pause and just runs with it. It’s jazzy, spacey and a whole lot of fun. Enjoy!
