Great song, but their best I think is “dedicated to the one I love”

“The Allman Brothers Band-live at the Fillmore East.

The whole darn album.”

mega freaking dittos to that my FRiend.

“statesboro blues” on that album will never be topped.

That album actually kept me sane (or passing at least) for a while back in the bad old days.

“In the Still of the Night” is definitely one of the greatest songs of all time.

Yes, another new system. *sigh*

And it is not ready for prime time, but the plan is to “go” anyway. *sigh* *sigh*

“The best version I have heard is oddly done by the Leningrad Cowboys with the Russian Army Choir.”

That is odd, especially since that song was written in response to the lefty song ‘Southern Man’ by Neil Young.

Eh, I like Neil Young but I was glad about this push back.

I’d like to know when was your fave version recorded?

Yeah, my grandad plays them from time to time. Gets all nostalgic over them and other tunes from back then. Tells me a lot of his growing up in NYC.

My Aunt and Uncle had “smoke gets in your eyes” for their wedding song. When I said to my mom that it didn’t seem like the best song for that she said: now you see how big a hit it was. And my mom was no pop music person.

I figure it had to be one of the biggest hits of all time!
