I personally like something a little more electronic. Crystal Method's "High Roller" would
do nicely.

My #1 musical-biking nexus was listening to Beth Orton's "Stolen Car" while riding down a gentle
grade on Highway 50 in middle-of-nowhere Nevada under a brilliant blue sky, shadowy mountains all
around, tailwind urging me on gently.

I like the sounds of the wind in my ears. I hear enough recorded and live music everywhere else in
my life, don't need to tote it along on a bike ride. But years ago, when I did take music along, my
favorite was the Allman Brothers original Fillmore East performance of "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"
(not the later bastardized version re-engineered by Tom Dowd).

I guess I only have the bastardized version (on the Fillmore Concerts double CD, produced by Tom
Dowd), but I still think it's an excellent choice. Is the original version still available?

(Getting off topic, I know...)

The remastered version substitutes a different Duane Allman solo (the second guitar solo); the
original is a vastly superior performance IMHO- indeed I think it the best rock solo ever recorded.
Check out the interplay between Duane and Berry Oakley on that solo- just amazing, telepathic stuff.

The original version was also produced by Tom Dowd, and I don't know how you tell them apart. For
the life of me, I cannot figure out what Dowd thought he was doing... he normally did outstanding
work with ABB.

The original version is on "The Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East" on Polydor (rather than
Capricorn, which is the label I recall the ABB being on back in the days of vinyl), the catalog
number appears to be 823 273-2 Y-2 It's a 2 CD set, with Statesboro Blues, Done Somebody Wrong,
Stormy Monday and You Don't Lov eme on the first CD and Hot 'Lanta, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed and
Whipping Post on the second CD.
