Hittin' the Note, according to the band, was live in the studio. I'm not sure when the ABB has done an album that wasn't. There are a couple of overdubs; the only ones I've noticed are Warren's electric lead on Old Before My Time and the two solos on Old Friend. Perhaps there are a couple of others, but I haven't been able to pick anything else out. It's not at all a slick-sounding record, and it doesn't sound overproduced to me in the least - I think it's got that same very clear sound that you can find in Gov't Mule's other recent albums.
Mistercharlie, the ABB arrangement of Layla isn't really different from the original. And yes, Gregg switches to piano at the end and plays the coda, and he and Derek pretty much take the song from there. 🙂
