Eat a Peach includes Allman Brothers classics “Melissa,” “Blue Sky” and the Duane Allman tribute “Ain’t Wasting Time No More.” It also features “Mountain Jam,” an extended all-instrumental jam session that spans the entire second sides of both vinyl records.
The live jam, heavily inspired by Donovan’s 1967 Billboard Hot 100 hit, “There Is a Mountain,” spans 33 minutes and 41 seconds. The hit folk-rock song was such a basis for ”Mountain Jam” that songwriting credits for the 1972 release went to all of the Allman Brothers Band members as well as D. Leitch, better known as Donovan.
Billboard once noted that “Mountain Jam,” which became an Allman Brothers Band concert staple, was much more than a “meandering” exploration, adding, “[It] was an example of what always set the Allmans apart: no matter where the song would go, it would always come right back to where it started, with its main theme based on Donovan’s 1967 hit ‘There Is a Mountain.’”
“We cut it, though, at the same time at the Fillmore,” he added. “There was no overdubs whatsoever on the Fillmore. No vocal overdubs, no repair work. There was some edits in some of the jams. You know, they had to edit it to try to get it on the record, but other than that, there was nothing done to that. It’s just a pure performance.”
