Allman Brothers Band "Dreams" 7/9/70 SUNY Stony Brook
Every Dreams with Duane is precious, particularly the well-recorded ones. This show hit circulation in January 2017. The full show circulates, but I wanted to just focus on Dreams.

This show was an "Orientation Pre-Concert" in front of 50-100 people. Tapes of the next night, 7/10/70 have long circulated (also has a killer Dreams➡️Mountain Jam)
Here's backstory from James Moyssiadis, aka Moyssi, on why we have so many quality recordings from SUNY Stonybrook:
"It was a Thursday night with just ABB in 1970, followed by them opening for two shows with Mountain on Friday. ABB did Stormy Monday, which Mountain also did as the headliner. After the early show, Leslie West wisely asked if he could open for ABB on the late show.
What a friggin' wonderful show that turned out to be. They [played] Mountain Jam that night. (But I've done about 2,000 shows and mix up dates and bills and everybody's name, so take it for what it's worth.)
Many, most, maybe all of those shows were recorded with permission on an Ampex 300 or 301 from the sound mixer. Seth Dworkin was the mixer--a brainiac who went on to win a Grammy with the Grateful Dead and direct satellite operations for Wall Street Journal--kept all the original recordings (made on Scotch professional 1/4" tape supplied by me)."
