The Allman Brothers Band, Saratoga Springs, NY, 7-24-05
For the last show of the July run, Warren Haynes rejoined the Allman Brothers Band for a truly spectacular show. From the powerful "Jessica" opener to the magnificent "Layla" encore (the only time they played it on this tour) the band is hittin" the note with gusto. New instrumental "Egypt" continues to grow into a powerhouse that can stand proudly alongside the band"s greatest works. Derek"s solo on "High Cost" packs even more punch than usual, and "Maydell" and "Who To Believe" are both strong. Take note of the 19-minute "Whipping Post," an epic excursion that is among the finest versions of the past ten years.DISC ONEJessica 14:44Statesboro Blues 5:29High Cost of Low Living 9:57Maydell 4:39Midnight Rider 3:19Egypt 16:06DISC TWOCan"t Lose What You Never Had 6:03Into The Mystic 4:48Who To Believe 7:01Leave My Blues At Home 25:29DISC THREEMelissa 6:02Dreams 11:23Whipping Post 19:13Layla 7:33
