There is a video out there somewhere of Dickey Betts telling the story. He says he thought Duane broke a string and took over

Duane was the greatest member of the greatest band of all time. 
And the dude stayed busy. He was never not in a studio or playing a show. It's mind boggling.

He was also the first hippie ANYONE had seen in North Alabama. Long hair, dressed all kinds of weird, hung out with the brothers. The Shoals didn't know what the frick to think.
It takes balls to be a granola freak up there now, can't imagine doing it in 1968.

If I recall correctly, both Duane and Gregg saw Clapton in the audience. Gregg kept playing, but Duane was so taken aback that he actually missed a bar or two.
I loved that part in Skydog
As good as Duane was Clapton still flustered him and Duane flustered Clapton

I wouldn't be surprised if you told me that he didn't even notice

Probably not. I think he had a little cabin on the Tennessee or the Elk River where he just jammed and got fricked up when he wasn't working.
I just laugh at the thought of my grandfather seeing Duane Allman in a public setting in the 60's.

I know Gregg asked him how to learn to play slide one time and Duane told him to go down to the river with a bag of cocaine and figure it out. Gregg said he tried on numerous occasions but it just never took

I've tried that too, didn't work. 
I played the guitar for a while but it never really suited me. Picked up a Fender Jazz Bass and it instantly clicked.
I play a little mandolin here and there, but it's not nearly as useful. I've even attempted slide mandolin, it sounds a little odd.

I wont say he's easily my favorite musician ever, but he holds a slight lead

John Paul Jones and John Prine (as a songwriter more than a musician) are the only ones that come close for me.

Duane is a legend,no doubt, but the brevity of his career is a bummer
Posted on 1/16/13 at 6:39 am to HeadyBrosevelt
As short as his career was, he somehow managed to churn out as much music as most do in twice the time frame

His slide work is out of this world.
I remember as a young lad listening to the duane allman anthology from my dads vinyl collection. Now i have vol 1 & 2 on cd and love listening to his guitar work on the muscle shoals stuff.

I could have sworn that, at least when I read Skydog, it was Pickett's cover of Hey Jude that led to that call. I could have a faulty memory, of course.
That is correct. Clapton also references this in his book.
