I still (sort of) recall taping that when it was on TV. I still have the VHS tapes. And the TV Guide for that week. It was a very big deal at the time (November 1995).

It's too bad the kids of today don't get the spinning wheel.

That must be this:

I never heard them - but I recall reading and/or Jimmy stating there were songs cut or maybe he was jut rather unhappy with the sound. I figure the price will keep me from buying them. If I do get one - it will be LZ III - which is my favorite LZ album.

I never bought anything but the complete studio recordings. Well - that and the BBC disc. I just hope these new versions sound better. I suppose it may depend on if they are going off the master tapes, or some old digital file. And I have to wonder what sort of shape some of those master tapes are in after all this time. My benchmark is usually the GD Warner Brothers box or The Byrds re-masters. To me - those are some of the best sounding cds I own.

I suppose we'll have to look that up - I don't see how they put them all out in a box in 1993, and then again in 1994. Here is what I found:

If you dig around you can find some articles about the planned new boxsets. We'll have to wait and see (hear) how they sound. Technology has come along from 1990 with regards to sound. I bought The Complete Studio Recordings box a little over 16 years ago. And I have never cared much for the sound. I never owned the original cds - so I don't know how they sound. Before that, I had cassettes from the 1980s, and almost all original vinyl pressings. That is what I grew up with. I still have all of them. I think the studio box from (The Complete Studio Recordings) (1993) is the only time t

I've read a lot of complaints about the first two episodes of the new series. I managed to find them online and found them pretty funny. We'll get them here officially sometime this month on PBS.

That is true. It will be nice to have some good sounding LZ cds though. Or we hope, anyhow.

Jimmy had this to say recently:

Thanks for not posting it.

If it was just Greg with a butch of new dudes calling themselves The Allman Brothers Band - then I could see it.

I don't think they are either. They have had a lot of members over the years:

I never bought the album - but as I recall they played some songs from it at the show.

That's great you have seen some Beacon shows. I only saw the band once - in 1995. Another quote from Derek:

Over on Facebook, someone suggested Devon and Dickey's son Duane playing with the band. That's an interesting idea - but do they have the chops? I am not familiar with Duane's playing, but I think Devon is in a couple of bands now and is more of a front man.

That's the only time I ever saw a show of his (actually CSNY) - on the tour for that album - Looking Forward.

That's right. He has said that more than once.

I guess they will either hang it up - or do a certain amount of shows every year with new guitar players. I would think they would hang it up - but I could certainly be wrong about that.

Kenney weighs in (Billboard):

Last night's setlist: (some great songs in this set)

If you grab that Midnight Riders book you can read all about that deal. A good bit of the book is about Greg and that trial.

I read the book last year - but I don't recall much about it. I guess there is a new band bio book coming out this year (ONE WAY OUT: The Inside Story of The Allman Brothers). I have the one from 1990s - Midnight Riders. I believe the band was not too happy about that book. Oddly enough - I did not get into the band until the early 1990s. I think I started out with Seven Turns (1990)/Shades of Two Worlds (1991), and then went back and bought the first album up through Brothers and Sisters.

I use to - but now I can not stand such films.

I recall seeing Live At Great Woods (VHS) at a record store back in the day. I never bought it though. I've read the new version won't have the interviews stuck in the middle of the songs.
