The group announced their separation at the end of 2014 and performed their final concert on October 28, 2014. The deaths of Gregg Allman and Butch Trucks in 2017 has most likely closed the door on any further reunions for good and leaves Johanson and Betts as the two surviving founding members of the band.

** ''Eat a Peach'' has "Mountain Jam", which runs 33:34 in its completed state (the original LP split it into two parts--19 minutes and 15 minutes--that each got their own album side, while the cassette and CD releases featured the uninterrupted take). The song itself is an extended {{Instrumental}} improv on Music/{{Donovan}}'s "There is a Mountain" (which runs a mere 2:30 in its original form), also tossing in "[[Music/JimiHendrix Third Stone from the Sun]]", and "May the Circle Be Unbroken", with extended soloing and dueling between every band member, reportedly fueled by a bottle of whisky each. The icing on the cake is that the ''Eat a Peach'' performance of "Mountain Jam" literally followed the ''At Fillmore East'' performance of "Whipping Post" ''[[FadingIntoTheNextSong immediately]]'' in the actual live performance; you can hear the opening notes of "Mountain Jam" at the end of ''At Fillmore East'' before the recording fades out. The band wanted "Mountain Jam" to be included on ''At Fillmore East'' as a third LP, but the record company vetoed this. Longer versions of "Mountain Jam" are known to have been performed; a forty-four minute version can be heard on the ''Live at Ludlow Garage'' album, on which it comprises the entire second disc, and a forty-five minute version can be heard on the ''Fillmore West '71'' album (although recorded from their March 1970 gig at The Warehouse in New Orleans) which was an added bonus on the fourth disc.

* '''Dickey Betts''' – guitar, vocals (1969–1976, 1978–1982, 1986, 1989–2000)

* IHaveManyNames: Their drummer John Lee Johnson, aka Jaimoe, aka Jai Johnny Johnson, aka Jai Johanny Johanson (though the extra A's are silent), aka LJB ("Little Johnny Boy").

* UncommonTime: The EpicRiff from "Whipping Post" is in 11/4. Gregg Allman wasn't actually thinking about the time signature when he wrote it, just [[RuleOfCool whether it sounded cool]]. Duane had to explain to him what 11/4 was. It's also been argued that it's actually in 11/8. Gregg later returned to 11/4 in his solo song "Queen of Hearts".

* GenreMashup: Although they were primarily a blues rock band, they also had elements of jazz fusion, Latin jazz, progressive rock, country, and other styles in some of their songs.
