Allman Brothers Band WIPE THE WINDOWS, CH - Vinyl
The Allman Brothers Band: Gregg Allman (vocals, guitar, organ, Clavinet); Richard Betts (vocals, guitar, slide guitar); Chuck Leavell (piano, electric piano, background vocals); Lamarr Williams (electric bass); Butch Trucks (drums, tympani, percussion); Jaimoe (drums, percussion).
Engineers include: Johnny Sandlin, Tom Flye, Tom Scott.
Recorded live at various venues in California and New York between 1972 and 1975. Originally released on Capricorn (0177). Includes liner notes by Mike Hyland and Mark Pucci.
By 1976, it had been five years since the release of the Allman Brothers' breakthrough (and all-time classic) release LIVE AT THE FILLMORE EAST. With the band calling it quits, the Allmans record company decided this would be the perfect time to issue a follow-up--WIPE THE WINDOWS, CHECK THE OIL, DOLLAR GAS.
With original members Duane Allman and Berry Oakley deceased, the mid-'70s Allmans line-up was patched up by bassist Lamar Williams and second keyboardist Chuck Leavell, helping to show that the group still could work their in-concert magic. With "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" the only song from the FILLMORE release to reappear here, such post-Duane gems as "Jessica" and "Ramblin' Man" shine in a live setting, making WIPE THE WINDOWS a worthy addition to any Allman fan's album collection.
