Back at the beginning of the '70s a friend left their first two albums at my house after a band rehearsal. I curled up with the albums and drank them in. It was my first introduction to really passionate lead guitar. Duane and Dickey had a really profound influence on my guitar career. I kind of adopted Duane's full-tilt, "all in or not at all" way of approaching lead. His ability to call up pathos was phenomenal.
I saw the Allman Brothers on their "never trust a band under 30" tour in 1999 with Derek. I saw Eric a while later with his band, opening for Eric Johnson.
