louisthebass Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Great album - one of the original "Jam Bands". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) One of my all time bands, they played at the very first Knebworth Festival in 1973, it was a joy to see them live. Devon (son of Gregg) Allman and his band with Duane ( son of Dicky) Betts are doing a few dates in the UK in September.

ikay Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Fabulous indeed, a great band! Edited August 24, 2018 by ikay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I play in an Allman Brothers band, only 2 gigs a year mind. I never liked them back in the day. Endless guitar solos never did much for me! In this band we've got 2 very good guitarists which is fun. I still doze off in E Reed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Might be!! There is a mighty Jules on one of the guitars. In fact the band is based around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think that there could be too many ABB tribute bands round in that neck of the woods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's him. Good isn't he? We're not really a tribute band. Just come together and have some fun jamming through a set of Allman Brothers songs. If you've seen the videos, it's pretty loose!

SteveK Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Toured with The Allman Bros back in '91 when they, and The Beach Boys, were in Europe. Never really knew much about them, other than they had "legendary" status. First met Gregg just before the first show in Berlin: He walks into our dressing-room, introduces himself and strikes up polite conversation. All the time, we couldn't help but notice that he seemed to be distracted by the various bottles of booze laid out neatly on a table. After a couple of minutes of chat he asks if he can pour himself a drink, "Sure Gregg, help yourself!" After 1/2 an hour and a couple of shots of something-or-other he said his goodbyes. We all discuss "What a nice friendly chap Gregg is" only to discover, later on, alcohol was banned from The Allmans dressing room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Where is this ABB band based - I'd like to hear that sometime. In fact, we could even do a recreation of the Fillmore gigs with your ABB and the Grateful Dead tribute I play in! We might need a Peter Green lookalike to come and jam with us, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, we were just talking about him last night with another guitar player who plays with him (Steve Wright) at Colne Blues. I have seen some YouTube clips of the ABB band a while ago. Will have to take another look... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
