“Duane Allman didn't see himself as the bandleader .. he led by example, and you gained a lot of respect from Duane if you earned it, if you proved you could keep up with him. If you couldn't, you'd either end up in awe of him or you might not even like him. He was very different from Jerry Garcia (guitar/leader of the Grateful Dead) who was very easy going. Duane didn't have time to be easy going ... there was much more urgency to his personality” IfsDifferentEndsMightEasyLeaderMusicExamplePersonalityGratefulGuitarAweUrgencyJerryEasy Going Author:Richard Betts
