"We all knew that asking another guitar player to step into Duane Allman's shoes would not really be ..." — Butch Trucks

When we're playing, when we're really, really going... you're just in the moment. You're not thinking about yesterday, tomorrow, or anything else. The brain gets out of the way. Your body just does what it knows how to do, and it's just... it's like a religion.

Of all the songs we played, 'Statesboro Blues' was the most ripped-off.

If there's anybody who knew how to play in a studio, it was Duane Allman.

Once we started headlining at the Fillmore East, we were free to play all night, at least for the second set. 'Whipping Post' could get lengthy.
