"Whipping Post" was a favorite from The Allman Brothers but I wasn't generally such a fan of the band since the southern rock style was substantively different from the psychedelia of the time. The Allman Brothers, in some ways, were a reaction to psychedelic hippie music with their different southern style and this was much like the way krautrock sprang up in Germany as a reaction to the heavy preference for guitars in almost all American rock.
Ed: aren't you the musicologist!
No chance. Any real musicologist could clear my clock before the end of the first bar.
You have seen it by now but that was Duane Allman since it wasn't until about a year later when he was killed in a bike crash. (WIKI: Duane Allman)
Doc was a huge fan of the band and it was one of life's great tragedies for him when Duane Allman died.

You don't mention the huge start the Allmans got from Delaney and Bonnie, one of my favorite all time party bands. https://youtu.be/rTUtvx7Ubc0 Also huge with Clapton. Andy
As another tidbit I forgot to mention Derek Trucks was hugely influenced by Duane and is currently one of the best slide guitarists on earth. His father was tha Allmans drummer. Andy
Thanks as I have picked up tidbits of classical from you but did not think the Allman Brothers could be far from your heart.
