It's likely Gregg was using another organ that belonged to a band playing later or a house organ stays back stage if someone needs one. Those things are the toughest of the equipment the ABB used to load and unload and set up.

They were not a headliner at Bill Graham shows in Feburary 1970. And they played over 300 shows in 1970, their most in any year, so they had plenty of time to further develop the songs including backing off Outskirts of Town and moving to Stormy Monday with a similar arrangement.

Dickey should have a little different tone too because he played a Les Paul on Fillmore East ( he changed Les Pauls several times until he finally settled on Goldie in 1974) and in February of 1970 Dickey was playing a Stratocaster.

BTW in summer of 1969 Dickey played a 335 then a Strat then an SG which he soon gave to Duane as he went through several Les Pauls but didn't take to a few of them until he found Goldie at a New York City pawn shop. Dickey had a couple Les Pauls that seemed to go out of tune. But like Duane he became attracted to that fat tone. He got made at one and threw it across the stage and Red Dog said it wasn't broken so he put it back in the rack. Red Dog said when Dickey, Duane and Berry came over before the next show started to the guitars and Dickey saw that Les Paul back, he grabbed it and slammed it so hard that that time the neck snapped. I think the Dog said it was put in the dumpster out back then.

But after 20 plus years of Goldie Dickey got pissed at Gibson for ignoring him and suddenly switched to Paul Reed Smith then the next year Dickey got a red 335 which is Gibson ?? then an old time ABB fan and friend said to me if this goes like 1969 Dickey will have a Stratocaster on the next tour and damn if he didn't. Then when Jack replaced Warren there was about a 2 year stretch seeing the Allman Brothers and Otiel had a Fender bass so there were NO Gibson guitars on an ABB show!!! That was strange to me though I remember when Dickey played a Strat in late 69 and early 70 but Duane was playing a Gibson so it was really odd seeing the band and no Gibson guitars. Of course Jack, Dickey and Otiel were bringing it with those non Gibson axes. Sounding good!

Now if you are a Duane fan like me you know he played Fender guitars just before the ABB was formed.

Thanks Blackey, love those old stories.

''It's likely Gregg was using another organ that belonged to a band playing later or a house organ stays back stage if someone needs one. Those things are the toughest of the equipment the ABB used to load and unload and set up.''

You're probably right, Gregg does seem the tower above the B-3 in the liner notes photo that's in side the deluxe edition cover and top bill were the Dead with 2 keyboard players Pigpen and Tom Constanten,also Dickey is playing s strat. The Dead and Allmans shared gear several times in the seventies.

Well doing some digging and I found a site that list the organ Pigpen used and dates. Looks like he had a B3 at the Fillmore. Previous he used a Vox.

Maybe Gregg used that organ but didn't change the settings. I don't know anything about that stuff so just speculating.

Either way its all good...

OK here is a little more info. This is from a site called deadessays blog:

The Dead had also played with the Doors at the Fillmore in January '67, and apparently formed an instant dislike of them, so perhaps Pigpen shared that view. In any case, he was willing to share his organ with other players at times -- Ned Lagin on a few occasions, Gregg Allman on 2/11/70, Steve Winwood on 11/16/70, maybe Vince Guaraldi at some point, and perhaps an unknown player in the 4/15/70 Other One jam. (Constanten may have stepped aside sometimes for guest players as well, in the Lovelights on 4/4/69 and 6/8/69.)
