Not to mention or be petty, but Gregg didn't really have very nice things to write about the members of the Dead, either. And lets be honest, it was good for business in the mid to late nineties for the Allman's to toss in a Franklin's tease. I saw them perform it a few times and it was always fun. They always threw up a Garcia image on the screen during No One Left To Run With, too. From Gregg's book "My Cross to Bear"

Listening to the SUNY 71 show --- that Blue Sky is definitely something. It's great to hear Duane speaking after the tune ---- of course it goes into Stormy Monday -- which should be the theme song for the band. Had my family over today - they were all cool with the Allman Brothers Band theme.
-
Ugh. Was running around with kids and every time I turned on XM Deep Tracks, they were playing a Allman Brothers tune - after the fourth time, I assumed Gregg had passed and sure enough Earle Bailey - DJ on Deep Tracks, came on and said that he died. So happy that I was able to see him play. Now listening to the Fillmore East shows. I am listening to the Blu-ray, which runs pictures while it plays- nice to see them so young. 4 gone.
-
Same with Bill Wyman --- it weird that bands forget about who played with them... It is a definite bummer about Vince.
-
Well that sucks. He wrote great poetry, too.
-
A long while ago - I took my car to a Walmart for an oil change and a new battery -- some guy stole my hitter box that was in my glove department. The bastards.
-
Thanks for the heads-up.
-
Just finished the below - first time reading any of Thomas Bernhard's stuff, definitely an interesting style of writing. Funny, too. Definitely will read more of his stuff. No onto the below - our letter writing/phone-calling group decided to set up a book club, too.
-
I think a toad could get Chris to talk about Rich.
-
I enjoy the hell out of CRB and Chris's songwriting - but the below is a bit of a hyperbole. Betty and CRB are a great fit.
-
I agree - I'll give KevinG that the press may not be able to talk about more than one story at the time, but I know my group is still active in the healthcare debate.
-
Mine, too - but I still call and write them. It's important to voice your opinion, even it is the same as theirs. Half the time I write them thanking them and encourage them to keep up the good work. Durbin or someone on his staff even sent me a card thanking me for writing last month.

Congress has to step up. Meaning we, the people, need to step up...
-
That it a great clip - I had to chuckle on the description in the clip, though - I think he took maybe took two steps --- at time's Garcia's slight movement of his arm or slight vocal tonation could whip a crowd up more than a 100 Pete windmills.
-
I agree about the show reviews - it came off like I was reading reviews from archive.org.
-
Forgot about the hammer and nail break during the Boston show.
-
Right you are - typo on my part. Pretty heady essay in the latest 77 release. 5/5/77 sounded great - it's been a while since I listen to the tapes. Now onto 5/7 - my favorite of this set.
-
According to the below link it was Garcia from 3/2/70 http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2010/04/march-1970.html
-
Hiding is definitely the worst tune in the set - not sure why they chose to lead off the set with it or even have it on the cd at all. I enjoyed the release upon one listen.
-
I listened to the Circles record and part of a concert - it really didn't hold my interest. Maybe different if I was actually at the show. Speaking of Casal - I am now playing Willie Nelson's Songbird - he is backed by the Cardinals - nice listen.
-
Thx. for the review, Shug - does sound like was great show. Hoping Jay gets a wild hair and does another Chicago gig over the summer. Still bummed that I missed the last one...
-
I saw that on the GD page - wish I could make it up there for it. If you are working or hanging there tonight - I'd be curious to know how the turn out was. thx.
-
Half way through disc 2 - they're cooking.
-
My copy of Betty Blends Vol. 3 came a day early. Of course this release has the same old stellar packaging with detailed liner notes Anybody know what shows the tunes are from. Chris is sounding a bit rough on the opening track - I Ain't Hiding.
-
Yeah, I really enjoyed 12/7/71 last night. Nice brisk show - definitely some flubs but it's seems like they were having a blast on stage - at least that's is the way it came across through speakers. Keith did seemed to be buried in the mix, though. Hopefully, I will get to 12/6 tonight. I should be getting the May set tomorrow, too --- also, I should be getting Betty's Chris Robinson Brotherhood cd tomorrow. Lots of new music to listen to this month.
