Allman Brothers Band, Saturday Night in Macon concert footage, circa 1973

This is a true gem.  Check it out.  The Allman Brothers perform in 1973, and this footage is some of the only material that exists of the band at that time in their career, after Duane Allman and Berry Oakley passed on.  This lineup with Dickey Betts on guitar, Lamar Williams on bass, and Chuck Leavell on keys, along with Gregg Allman, Jaimoe, and Butch Trucks, lasted from 1973 to 1976.  Also in this concert set are performances by Wet Willie and The Marshall Tucker Band.  They are probably from around the same time (1973 or so), featuring short, but dynamic performances by all three bands.  This is a goldmine if you're into southern fried boogie rock jams.  Check it out.
