Allman Brothers are done after this weeks Beacon shows . Anyone wanting to take this trip can and should do so Oct. 25, 27 and 28, as the band concludes not just this final Beacon run but also then calls it quits for good.

 

Hopefully Dicky will make it for one last time . There's been a little controversy on if he was invited or not ! Come on guys one last time please !

 

 

 

 

Here is a nice retrospect of some of the often overlooked and disliked albums from the band .

It's been a great crazy wild ride for the Brothers but i guess it's the End of the line

 

 

 

Flotation is Grooovey !!

Saw them 3 times and each time was more than great. Love them. Sad to see them hanging it up, but I get it.

I got to work with some of them along the way.  I did a short run of Gregg and friends shows, and the band and I crossed lots of other paths.



But the milestone for me was fifth grade.  Never forget it.  A guy named Danny Huddleston brought a copy of Beginnings to school and was showing it to me, and at some point he put it on the turntable (went to a hippy ass school, you could do that kind of thing), and off went Every Hungry Woman.  And I remeber thinking (after having grown upp listening to whatever stuff came out of the radio), "wow this is different.  These guys do something else other than what those guys on the radio do".


Thats what it was for me.

Sex, drugs and rock n roll  sure is fun but it takes a toll


prolly even worse if you're in the band


My other rod is at your Mothers house!

And closed it out with Muddy Waters. 

 

 

 

According to an article I read today at jambase.com, Trouble No More was the first song the band ever played together, and now is also the last song they ever played together.......maybe.

 

Looking at the set list from the show, it looks like they hit all of the biggies. I can't think of anything they missed song wise. Would have been nice if they and Dickey could have buried the hatchet at least for a few hours anyway.

The last time I saw Dickey play in public, he appeared as a guest with the TTB and did 3 of his own songs. He made a fool of himself. Getting Dickey to show up is only half the battle. The hard part is getting him to show up sober. :dismay:
