It debuted on their live album ''At Fillmore East'', released in July 1971, the fifth track on the album. "Hotlanta" is a controversial nickname for Atlanta, Georgia, and is a portmanteau of the words "hot" and "Atlanta".

== Composition == The song begins with a statement of the theme, followed by solos from Gregg Allman (organ), Duane Allman (guitar), and Dickey Betts (guitar). There is then a (duet) drum break, and then a restatement of the theme, which ends on a dissonant chord that fades into a drone of organ and intermittent snare drum rolls, then growing into a powerful crescendo accentuated by the timpani playing of drummer Butch Trucks.

The composition has elements in common with jazz rock and progressive rock.<ref name=Martin> {{Cite book | title= Listening to the Future: The Time of Progressive Rock, 1968-1978 | last= Martin | first= Bill Jr. | date= 2015-12-14 | publisher= Open Court | isbn= 9780812699449 | language= en | url= https://books.google.com/books?id=UoT6CgAAQBAJ }} </ref>
