Who out there is familiar with this instrumental?
The only reason I am is that years ago a buddy of mine turned me on to a bootleg DVD of ABB's 1989 show at Shoreline Amphitheater here in the Bay area. It was taken from the video feed that goes to the live video monitors at Shoreline. How someone got a hold of this I'll never know.
Anyway, "Duane's Tune" is probably the highlight of this show, and since Dickey introduced the song, I'm assuming he wrote it. Sure sounds like a Dickey instrumental.
IMO, this could have ranked up there with some of ABB's best instrumental tunes. Wondering here why it never made to the cut for their next studio record, 1994's Where It All Begins.
It is the last song on disc four of the box set Dreams released in 1989
Misspelled the word "song"

"Duane's Tune" is on Dickey's Patterns Disruptive solo album. I believe it is named for Duane Betts, and not Duane Allman. Since Dickey and Warren had been playing the song it was added to the set list for the Allmans' Dreams tour.
I was never really a fan of the song, it sounds like it belongs on a Rocky montage, but I imagine it sounds better stretched out live. Warren's slide is so raw on the studio cut, it feels like a demo for everything that ended up being great on Seven Turns.
Actually, it first appeared on Dickey's solo album "Pattern Disruptive,'' which featured future ABB members Warren Haynes and Johnny Neel. ...
Thanks for the info, everybody. And since it's on the Dreams box set, that means I actually have it! Haven't pulled that one off the shelf in many years, but now I will, soon.
