Most anything of theirs live is awesome. Later stuff is richer but not their best IMO.
I dig the early 70's stuff, At Fillmore East and Eat A Peach, last one before they lost Duane?
The widespread story regarding the origin of the album's title, that the truck involved in Duane Allman's fatal motorcycle accident was a peach truck, is not correct; the truck involved was actually a flatbed lumber truck. The name actually came from something Duane said in an interview shortly before he was killed. When asked what he was doing to help the anti-war effort, Duane replied, "There ain't no revolution, it's evolution, but every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace; the two-legged Georgia variety." The album's name was originally slated to be The Kind We Grow in Dixie, and the artwork for the album showed a peach. Band members were dissatisfied with the name, and the image suggested Duane's quote instead.
Always damn good though. I've got lots of their live stuff.

Saw 'em many times in early seventies. If you get a chance go see Dicky Betts tour (Great Southern). He's cleaned up and still amazing.
