Good album. Mountain Jam is awesome.

First few songs are nice, then it goes into some live stuff while Duane was still alive, and to me it feels a bit weird. I liked his guitar playing and stuff, don't get me wrong, but the albums' feel changes mid-point, and makes it sound off. Ok album, Mountain Jam was an interesting song to put in here, would of preferred a studio version that was maybe around 10 minutes in length instead though.

3 songs (the last 3) were recorded with Duane Allman before he was killed in a mororcycle accident. The effect of losing him would be felt throughout their long career, which continues to this day. After Eat A Peach, they had one more great album in them. Eat A Peach is almost a classic, and would be better had they released a single instead of a double album. "Mountain Jam", (which, along with 2 other tracks, are from the famous Fillmore East concert. At the end of the Fillmore album, you can hear the beginning of this song as "Whipping Post" fades out.) clocks in at a whopping 33 minutes, and takes some doing to listen to all the way through. But it was a necessary part of the album.

Otherwise, this is great. The first 3 tracks were recorded without Duane, and are as good as anything they did with him. "One Way Out" and "Trouble No More" are also from Fillmore, and the last 3 with Duane, particularly Dicky Betts' "Blue Sky", are excellent.

A band picking up and moving on from tragedy. Not for the last time, either.
