Another excellent analysis of an absolutely quintessential ABB song. I totally have to agree with your canon. Interestingly, both have Duane playing slide in standard tuning brilliantly. It was interesting to see Dickey didn't like being in the studio.
That 2nd half is some of the most beautiful music ever recorded. Have you recently listened to the Live at A&R Studios recorded in August 1971? It includes a GREAT rendition of You Don’t Love Me.
Mountain Jam is the sound of 6 guys completely in the moment. All heading the same direction 100% of the time. It’s astounding to me. And yes, that YDLM on 8/26/71 is incredible.
That Fillmore West take is one of very few Dreams from spring 1971. There are 2 others I know of, another at Fillmore West, and 2/28/71 Brewer Fieldhouse.

Thank you very much. Thanks also for the reminder that Duane played this in standard tuning, a fact I should’ve included in the post.
I want the last half of Mountain Jam played at my funeral. It’s what Heaven sounds like to me.
Right after Berry's solo works for me. Duane was where he always wanted to be I still get chills every time I hear him say, "I'm Duane Allman..."
me too my dude. me too.

There’s a great version of Dreams from the 1/31/71 Fillmore West concert so that makes up for not having that song played at the Fillmore East weekend
