I love both the Allmans and the Dead. For the longest time I liked the Allman Brothers better, but in the last couple of years that has flipped. Of course, that might change again at some point as well. It also feels like I shouldn't actually admit this, but in the classic Allman Brothers line-up, I always preferred Dickey's playing over Dwayne's. In fact, as a guitar player myself, Dickey was a big influence.
Also, posting this here, as I feel LANDLINE is a place that would appreciate this (I just stumbled across this the other day), but check out this section of a silent fantasy film by Fritz Lang depicting the prelude to Wagner's "Das Rheingold" from 1924! How cool is this? The aesthetics could be from a psyche-stoner band's video today. Eerie, but also beautiful atmospherics? Check. Strange paranormal/ultraterrestial entities? Check. Powerful classical proto-metal music? Check? Primeval spirituality? Landscapes of power? Check, check.
