snuffbox 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2009 The Allman Bros Band is forty years old today. I hope I'm not the only fan here but it wouldnt surprise me. I do remember I had to defend Gregg Allman's ability to grab hold of 'Night They Drove Old Dixie Down' once here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2009 I was hoping they would be added to the Bonnaroo lineup this year after canceling last year's appearance. I want to see them again; not sure how much Gregg Allman has left in the old tank. I guess they've been bringing out all kinds of guests for their current Beacon run: Clapton, Boz Scaggs, ZZ Top, Buddy Guy, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2009 There was a rumor that a certain former band member might be one of the Beacon guests but it hasn't happened yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2009 Huh, I figured I was the only Allman fan here. The Beacon Shows have been sick. The second Clapton show was filthy, especially the Liz Reed at the end of the 2nd set. Right now, I think that Derek is the best rock guitar player around. The new DTB cd is amazing as well, and just seeing his ability to interact with any other player and make them better is fantastic. Dickie won't be there though. I think it's for the best. The band has moved on in a different direction that they could not have gone in with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
