RIP Dickie Betts

Yeah -- made 80. Good on 'em. That last decade has not been great for him - health wise.    Was such a great, great player with a beautiful tone. Songwriting skills were there, too.

Last night's Mountain Jam performance wasn't the best --- it seem a bit perfunctory, at times. Gregg sounded good, though.

 

Compared to the previous nights Gov't Mule set - which I thought was so, so excellent, ABB set seemed kind of ho-hum.

 

Also I never realized that Maurice Brown was involved with the Tedeschi Truck Band  - and writing charts for the band to boot.  I use to watch him play at various jazz venues and festival when he just got out of high school in the Chicagoland area.

Him and Corey Wilkes were the two young gun trumpet slingers in town in the late 90's and early 2000's.

From Jambands:

 

 

The Allman Brothers Band have confirmed the upcoming release of their highly anticipated box set, The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings. ABB’s seminal live album At Fillmore East is set to get a makeover with 15 previously unreleased tracks from their March 12-13 and June 27, 1971 shows at the iconic New York City venue, including multiple renditions of “Whipping Post,” “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed,” “Statesboro Blues” and “One Way Out.”

 

The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings will also feature the entirety of the band’s June 27, 1971 gig, complete with the never-before-released introduction by Bill Graham. Another notable addition is the complete versions of the two takes on “You Don’t Love Me” that producer Tom Dowd combined for original At Fillmore East release.

 

The original At Fillmore East was recorded over the course of the The Allman Brothers Band’s March 11-13, 1971 shows at the Fillmore East. Venue owner (and all around famed rock music promoter) Bill Graham was so impressed by the band’s three-night run at the venue that he handpicked them to play the venue’s closing show on July 27, 1971.

 

The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings will be available on July 29. The box set can now be preordered in CD, LP and Blu-ray formats.

 

As previously reported, the Allman Brothers Band will be calling it quits after this year. The band has scheduled a finale run at New York City’s Beacon Theatre for October, as well as appearances the Peach and Lockn’ festivals.

You know - I have never seen a Blu-Ray or heard one for that matter. I don't think I have heard a 5.1 mix either.

 

 

Amazon has this listed for 64 bucks.

 

 

I am guessing some of these tracks must be the ones Tom hated - due to the horn player.

$79.98 at HittinTheNote.com.  Guess I'm not pre-ordering it there.

A friend sent this to me and I thought it was funny.

 

Off the ABB forum:

 

This is intended to be in good fun and I hope it's taken that way.

 

Notes From An Allman Brothers Band Meeting.

June 6 Hilton Hotel Hunter Mountain


Bert Holman: Ok guys, thanks for coming. Now, where did you guys come down on playing a few more dates in early October? I think..

Butch: Can someone explain to me why we had to book an entire conference room for this meeting??

Warren: I need the table space and whiteboards for the Beacon guest artist charts. Where's my rolodex?

Butch: Jeeesus Christ.

Gregg: We should ask Otiel to play a few numbers with us for old time sake.

Otiel: Dude!!! I'm sitting right next to you!! I have NOT left the band!!

Butch: C'mon Gregg! Otiel's signed with us through next year!

Bert: Next year...

Marc: Wait a minute, so we ARE touring next year?

Derek: I'm not touring next year.

Warren: I'm already booked with 12 different bands next year.

Jaimoe: What year is this?

Bert: We're getting off track here..

Gregg: Sorry brother! Must be getting a contact high from that kind Hawaiian High Times bud you're smoking.

Bert: By the way Otiel, could you not smoke that in here?

Derek: Yeah man. You smoke too much. And you're making me hungry.

Otiel: I smoke too much? Bro, you haven't been able to find you're razor for 10 months!

Derek: Uuumm...true.

Warren: I just got a text from Sade! She can play with us on October 27!

Butch: Who the fu - Sade?? You mean the chick that sings 'Smooth Operator'??

Warren: I - er, we've never played with her before!

Butch: Sade?? Why don't we just ask Peter Duchin?

Warren: Nah. I just played a wedding with him in Greenwich last month.

Marc: Guys! Are we playing dates in October or not?

Jaimoe: Yeah baby, we're playing the Beacon.

Bert: Is there anywhere ELSE you'd like to play?

Jaimoe: Well actually, yeah. I went to Hawaii last year and there was this crazy little Luau band on the beach and they said anytime I wanted to...

Bert: No, no, no. Is there anywhere you want to play with the Allman Brothers Band as part of a mini fall tour.

Jaimoe: Yeah, I want to play with the Allman Brothers this fall.

Bert: Where???

Jaimoe: I got my sticks so wherever you go, there you are so I'm cool with that. Try it out Bert. It'll help with your nerves.

Marc: What about the Tower Theater at Philly?

Butch: I told you guys! I'm not playing that place anymore! Ever! 

Bert: Really? 'Cause..

Butch: Bill O'Reilly on my dressing room TV every night!! And I couldn't turn it off!! Glenn Beck-loving jackasses! 

Gregg: Man that smells good.

Bert: Otiel!

Otiel: ..>pp<...>ppp<..>pp
Warren: Hmmm Hawaii...what do you guys think about having a steel drummer join us on Nobody Left To Run With?

Marc: Someone open a window and I'll find some lysol. There ARE smoke alarms in here.

Derek: Do you guys want to order some food?

Otiel: Since when do you eat skinny-guy? Haha!

Bert: GUYS! How about some Georgia shows?

Gregg: Man, I was just in Georgia with this saxophone-chick working on a song for my All Compositions By album

Warren: That's great! Who was it?

Gregg: Who?

Warren: The sax player?

Gregg: Can't remember her name now... but we got some good work in.

Warren: That's great. Did you finish the song?

Gregg: What song?

Bert: How about a SHOW In Georgia??

Gregg: Nah, I think we've released enough of those.

Bert: PLAYING a show in Georgia??

BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Derek: Well. You set off the fire alarm. And the sprinklers.

Otiel: Haha! Somethings ARE better when wet!

Warren: My guest charts!!

Butch: Damnit!! I could be in France right now farting through silk!

Marc: What is with your sick obsession with farting through silk? It's unhealthy man.

go on....

I think what Analogman may be referring to is that the photo wasn't taken outside the Fillmore East.  It was later shot outside a warehouse in Macon, set up to make it look like it was taken outside the Fillmore. 

Duane is holding a bag of cocaine in his hands. That is why they are laughing. 

That too.

The writer says the"peak" live album era was '69-71.  There's lots of reasons why I disagree with that statement.  Starting with a little 3 lp set called Europe '72.

I think Duane just happen to spot one of his dealers walking down the street, so he hurried up and ran up to him and ran back for the photo - hence the laughter on Gregg and the "cat just ate the pet mouse" look on Duane.
