The year after their big breaktrough with the live album from Fillmore East, the Allman's put some leftovers from that live album on this double album, plus a few new studio recordings. It was the last album to feature one of the brothers, namely Duane Allman, who died in a motorcycle crash in october 1971 (2 months after i was born!) while this album was recorded. 2 sides of the album consists of a 33 minute live jam session bases around the song There Is A Mountain by Donovan. The album is very blues-based, ecspecially the live songs. The african rhythms put an another level to the music and fits great with the jazzy and progressive elements of The Allmans's music. It's a great album with great playing and great songs. It still rocks and stands tall after 40 years!

1)Ain't wastin' time no more (7,5) Typical Allman floating sound and african-like rhythms.

2)Les brers in A Minor (9,0) Absolutely fantastic! 3 minute tuning of instruments and then the greatest jam-song I can imagine. 9 minutes is way too short!

3)Melissa (7,5) A nice mellow ballad.

4)Mountain jam (8,0) Good quality jam-session. Part 1.

5)One way out (8,5) A Sonny Boy Williamson-cover. Good live-blues.

6)Trouble no more (8,5) Muddy Waters-cover. Again some good heavy Chicago-blues. Greatly played by a fantastic band!

7)Stand back (8,0)

8)Blue sky (8,5) Dickey Betts on vocals in this sweet calm Allman-rocker.

9)Little Martha (7,0) Duane and Dickey plays acoustic.

10)Mountain jam (6,0) Not very interesting second part of the jam.
