Talk:In Memory of Elizabeth Reed

How to classify song
I really think this song should be classified as jazz/rock fusion. Southern rock typically is used to describe the country leanings and more pop-oriented tunes better used to describe many sounds of Lynyrd Skynyrd. If Duane's playing like Coltrane, why NOT be considered at least jazz? And if anyone's heard this tune this definetly sounds like some fusion.Peachslide 05:25, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Is there such a thing as an "instrumental song"?
Isn't part of the definition of a song that there should be singing in it? I thought something without vocals was called a tune, a musical piece, or, if it's on a recording, a musical track. Respectfully, SamBlob 23:09, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

No, a song is a form, usually on the order of verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus. Lyrics are often a part of this form but not integral. -Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.176.37.234 (talk) 14:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

order of guitar solos
I'm not sure whether Dicky Betts or Duane Allman did the first solo. The first guitar solo is melodic, the second guitar solo is fast. I think Dickey mostly did the faster work - such as the things on BROTHERS AND SISTERS. He also used the Gibson SG whereas Duane used the Gibson Les Paul. The second solo guitar sounds like a SG guitar. Could Dickey be the second soloist and Duane the first? [21:47, 4 January 2007 84.129.121.176]

Only the people who watched the concert can know that, if they even remember. But,chances are, Duane did the first one because Dickey usually does the first during concerts.203.111.236.48 15:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

It's definitely Dickey first, Duane second. It's stated in the FAQ on the Allman Brothers Band's official website, at http://www.allmanbrothersband.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=1#q80:


 * Q· Who took the first guitar solo on "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"? on the Filmore East '71 album, Duane of Dickey?


 * A· Dickey starts the song off with volume swells which almost sound like violins. The first solo is his too.

The liner notes for the Beginnings album also state that on the original studio version, it's Dickey first, Duane second. Wasted Time R 19:34, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah. So glad to get that sorted, aren't we? Can we open some more presents now? ;) [13:32, December 27, 2008 86.221.27.112]

the "three-note" lick
The "three-note" lick is often used by Duane. The lick can also be heard in Hot `Lanta.203.111.236.48 15:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Is puerile. [13:32, December 27, 2008 86.221.27.112]
