Yes, I am not that familiar with the Allman brothers album, but imo Mac's Tea Party beats both the Who and Stones.

It's also interesting that Peter revisited a couple of his own blues songs, both as studio outakes and onstage. I'm thinking about "Fast Talking Woman Blues" (based on "Driftin'") and "Leaving Town Blues" from BBC/Show-Biz Blues album. Both songs were unreleased at the time ... So I've always imagined that the next FM album (if Peter had stayed) would have contained one of these....

I have a live bootleg with the Kiln House line-up (can't remember the date), and Danny actually did "Like It This Way" alone. And although he did a fine job, it's still quite sad. Because the absence of Peter is so evident on that song, where there should have been two duelling guitars.
