The Allman Brothers Band- Into The Mystic – Live Performance and Review

ByEditor

The Allman Brothers Band has always had a knack for delivering soulful performances, and their rendition of “Into The Mystic” is no exception. The interaction between Warren and Derek is on a different level. One of the greatest and brightest cover of Van Morrison’s excellent song!

Allman Brothers Band- Into The Mystic – Live

From the first note, it’s clear that the band respects the original while making it their own. The guitar work is stellar, as expected, with Duane Allman’s slide guitar adding an ethereal quality to the track. Gregg Allman’s vocals bring a raw, emotional depth that perfectly complements the song’s mystical lyrics.

Lyrics:
We were born before the wind
Also, younger than the sun
‘Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic

Hark now, hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic

Yeah, when that fog horn blows
I will be coming home
Yeah, when that fog horn blows
I wanna hear it
I don’t have to fear it

And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float
Into the mystic

When that fog horn blows
You know I will be coming home
Yeah, when that fog horn whistle blows
I gotta hear it
I don’t have to fear it

And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float
Into the mystic

Come on, girl

Too late to stop now
