... them, all of which paved the way for the new in-concert set. "I think we've always wanted to do a live album since we got together," says Haynes. "We're just happier in a concert situation, though it wasn't intentional that we'd do two studio discs first, just like the original ABBdid before Fillmore East. But just like then, our songs sound better in concert and, in fact, the Allman Brothers are and will always be a live band. We even cut our studio albums live, with everybody set up in the room and playing all at once. Most of the guitar solos that Dickey and I cut in the studio are live on the tape as they went down, which is very unusual. Of course, we go for that same spontaneity live and instead of just trading straight solos, sometimes we just bob and weave, leaving spaces for the other to fill in with harmonies, unison bits or counterpoint - it's all unplanned and experimental, like Miles Davis and John Coltrane improvising together or 'Trane and Cannonball Adderly. And we leave the mistakes and mishaps in while recording live, too. Like when I'm soloing in the first half of 'Blue Sky,' I start playing straight lead and then you can hear where I switch to slide and finish the lead playing bottleneck. The funny thing is that there's about a five or six beat pause in between them because the slide got kinda stuck in my vest pocket and it took a while to get the darn thing on my finger!" Given his broad listening tastes and keen melodic intuition, it shouldn't be surprising that Haynes also has a wealth of good advice to impart to younger players. As proof, just sample this tidbit of universal guitar wisdom, one which cuts to the heart of the matter just as fast as one of his always inventive solos: "Awhile back, I used to play country music for a living with David Allan Coe and, while I don't think I'd be happy playing country every day, I learned a lot from the experience because whenever you step outside your genre, you're bound to expand your horizons. When I used to read interviews with some of the truly great players, there was always one influence they'd mention that was a complete surprise, like B.B. King saying he dug jazzers like Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian, which in turn gave him his own special voice as a blues player. In my mind, whether you're into blues or heavy metal, listening to and also playing other styles of music can only make you a better guitar player."
