"Won't you smile for the camera?" Borrowing from Steely Dan... Great pic again, Donnah.

OK, I've seen this reference before but held off asking because my question's too unhip: Just where was the Warehouse?

Man,

If I could play like those two & had a vintage LP in my hands........
Yeah , I'd be smilin' too !

The Warehouse was/is in New Orleans .

This is my dream concert. I lived in New Orleans in the mid-seventies -- Duane was gone by then -- but I saw the reconstructed Allman Brothers open the Superdome.

But the Superdome wasn't the ideal place to hear a concert back then, The Warehouse was. I can't count the number of great shows I saw there.

And the name of the hall was dead on. In the warehouse district just off the river, this unadorned, unrenovated concert space stood as the perfect backdrop to the raw music we were listening to. See those rafters faintly in the background -- those are the real thing.

Wow. We all change a lot over the years. If you look at photos of Eric Clapton from 1965 on, you see a progression of very different-looking people, even tho it's the same guy. Dickey is kind of that way, too. Unfortunately, in this pic, he looks a bit too much like Charlie Manson. Quite a difference from the "Richard" Betts solo album pic of him (boy, that's one great album, by the way.)

Thanks again, Donnah. By the way, I checked out your flickr photo site. What a collection!

The Warehouse was or still is on Tchoupitoulas Street in New Orleans. Saw Grand Funk RR and Illinois Speed Press there in April 1970. Saw Dwayne and Greg 1970 in Jax Beach; the best there ever was.

I am trying to figure out what tune they were in..
something in A it appears..
Great pic, Thanks Donnah.

Revival for sure.

No comments on Dicky having a Duane style guitar strap?

I noticed that Mike.. I guess you did. Maybe the 'rings' matched their dingos..;)

Aw Revival?? Naaaaw! They didnt play Revival in their live sets. They had it in their repetoir, but they stuck to the more blues/rock oriented songs like Statesboro Blues and Dont Keep Me Wonderin...

By Duanes hands it looks like Whipping Post where he bends the 2 strings together (during the verse as rhythm) and watching the Fillmore '70 video confirms it for me.. Dickey plays three 2-or-3 note chords up there on the first four frets.

And ya... I doubted for a moment that it was Dickey myself... but I remembered how many different looks he had over those short 2 years.

Thanks again, Donnah, for another great one!
Wailin On, like our great Skydog,

Ben I am going to have to disagree with you on this one..although we will never know.

On another note....check out the list of bands on the poster at the beginning of this video.

$1.50 to see the Allman Bros.

Wondering seriously who that really is? Other pictures show that Duane was definitely taller than dickey.

He just doesnt look like him. And I have never seen Dickey wear flower power shirts. If it is him makes you wonder who copied who with the guitar strap.

Anyways, nice shot of course Donna.
Wail on skydog!

Carl- You petted Traveler. It's impossible for you to be anything but cool.

When I was a kid I'd look at the Clapton photos and marvel at all his different looks. Thank God he retired the big permed afro.
Dickie has some different looks too. I could scarcely recognize him in the photo of all of them sitting on the steps with Thom Doucette.

As for the height in this pic, it's just the angle of photography. I've added other pics of Dickey in a floral shirt and with the same guitar strap.
