This track was recorded in Atlanta on November 25, 1984. It is
another solo from "Whipping Post", played on the custom Strat. The
vamp played by the band is based on Bo Diddley's "I'm A Man". The
title refers to Duane Allman (1946-1971), who played guitar on the
original recording by the Allman Brothers Band. That band was founded
in Georgia, albeit in Macon, not Atlanta.

Also, FZ reportedly dedicated this song to Duane's memory at
this '84 show.

I'd never noticed this before, but Frank does indeed say "For
Duane" before WP.

Just wanted to note that WP author is another Allman. Greg.
