Royale with Cheese Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Yep. I saw them live a few years ago. I always liked them but after seeing them in concert...much more respect. They were much better than I thought they would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 maybe not the same band, but a helluva band nonetheless, with Warren and Derek and Oteil, they were an outstanding version of the band we saw the allmans a bunch at highschool. loved the shows. as things went on the band just withered away. once dickey betts was done, it was no longer the same band imo.

Best Player Available Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 we saw the allmans a bunch at highschool. loved the shows. as things went on the band just withered away. once dickey betts was done, it was no longer the same band imo. Betts was done 15 years before they booted him out for good. The band was no longer the same when Duane and Berry died. Duane was the engine for the Allmans. Got too,hang with Greg a few times after he divorced Cher and moved too Marin county. Great guy but really puished his body. For him getting the band back together was huge. And getting Derek and Warren was awesome. This just sucks. But not unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not unexpected. this is true. those old, live albums are the absolute greatest. i was given the duane allman anthology years ago as a gift, and it shows what an incredible guitarist he was. didn't someone associated with the band recently commit suicide? maybe trucks? maybe not the same band, but a helluva band nonetheless, with Warren and Derek and Oteil, they were an outstanding version of the band were they still good in the last few years? i just assumed they were fading like most older bands.

The people that work at Hospice are a special breed IMO and we're all lucky that people like that exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea Butch Trucks commited suicide in front of his,wife. Saw him last year and his other son played guitar. He was no Derek Trucks. He would also bring out his daughter to sing. He had a couple of bands. That was called the freight train band. His unique drumming style will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/gregg-allman-denies-hospice-rumors-w478638 Statement denies he's entered a facility. "Resting at home under doctors orders" does not deny hospice care though. Either way, prayers to family. Hospice care is great and terrible at the same time.

Me neither, but I have the utmost respect for those who do it. I really don't understand how they can. Life can be funny though. Sometimes you get the most appreciation from the things you least like experiencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
