From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"
Pegasus
" is the third song from
The Allman Brothers Band
's 1979 album
Enlightened Rogues
.
[1]
It is an instrumental written by lead guitarist
Dickey Betts
.
The song draws some comparisons to "
Jessica
" in some respects. It begins with an opening motif that builds into a main theme (similar to "Jessica") played in three-part harmony by Betts and
Dan Toler
on guitar, and
Gregg Allman
on
Hammond B3 Organ
. The main theme then leads into the first guitar solo by Toler, an organ solo by Allman, and a second guitar solo by Betts. The song suddenly gets quiet for a different reintroduction into the main theme, featuring muted guitar and
Clavinet
. During the second repetition of the main theme, it suddenly begins to slow into a breakdown that shifts key from A Major to B Major at the very end of the song.
