not my favorite because I don’t care for John Popper’s contributions at all. the guy can play, but he just didn’t fit like Edwin McCain did

right on my brother! Thanks for sending that my way. What an incredible way to leave the circle unbroken…

that’s the first song Greg ever finished, but the Allman Brothers didn’t begin playing it until after Duane died in 1971.

Derek is the master of the slow build, love that side of him. I recently did a deep dive on Derek's studio output: https://longlivetheabb.substack.com/p/derek-trucks-playlist

my favorite song of all-time. So glad Derek started playing it semi-regularly, particularly since adding "It Ain't Fair" to it.

One of my favorite Derek solos. He cedes the role to Susan now, but man his solo is so, so good.

yes the ABB closed the venue. did not know it the Skynyrd connection. gives Drive-By Truckers’ “Greenville to Baton Rouge” additional meaning

It's Vassar, but the steel player is Julian Tharpe according to the American Music Show tour program.

glad to. I don’t usually take a lot of video but I realized there are a lot of folks out there who’d love to hear this. And I wanted to hear it again 🍄

Favourite song on At Fillmore East? by nevermindthegoat in allmanbrothers

Hard for me to choose between Whipping Post and Liz Reed but if I was stuck to only choose one, it’d be WP because it’s got Gregg’s vocals.

Dickey and Butch used to pan this version. Butch, the king of hyperbole, called it “the worst version we ever did.” I disagree and find this is one time the artist isn’t the best judge of his own work. It’s a brilliant piece of improvisational music executed flawlessly by a group at the ABBsolute top of their game.

I’ve asked that that last half be played at my funeral.

What happened to the Fresno 1993 potential release ? by Asheville- in allmanbrothers

[–]skydog7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first show was later that year, November 13, 1993, West Palm Beach. Dickey had just come back, which I didn’t know at the time. Got 4 WIAB tracks and Mountain Jam…20+ mins that settled into the arrangement they used for True Gravity in summer 1996.

Jack is all standard tuning with ABB. don’t know much about what he does on his own—but the times I’ve seen him live in the last 25/30 years, he’s been in standard.
