Analogman Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 There are two of those Duane Allman Anthologies - I don't have either of them. I have some songs from that Boz album on a cdr somewhere. I'll Be Long Gone is a great song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I don't have Scaggs album, but I have Duane's An Anthology and Loan Me Dime is on that. Great, great long jam.Yeah, they played that one the other night w/ Scaggs. Awesome song. I can't check it from work here, but there very well may be a YouTube video of it out there.

dmait Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 >He just put out a new album not to long ago. I figure there will come a day when he leaves the band to do his own thing full time. He's pulling a Warren-type three-fer by playing solo, with the Allmans, and also with Clapton. I don't know if playing with Clapton was semi-permanent or just for a tour or two. Nice balance, nevertheless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 There was an interview with him in one of the recent issues of Rolling Stone. Who, Derek? That's cool that he's getting some mainstream attention. The guy is just amazing. Here's a fresh one from All About Jazz (I may have already posted this link, if so, apologies): http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=31943 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 He just put out a new album not to long ago. I figure there will come a day when he leaves the band to do his own thing full time.When the ABB started making a big deal about the 40th anniversary of the band this year, I heard a lot of rumors that this year was going to be a farewell, of sorts. The band denies it and I don't think it is necessarily true either, but I would not at all be surprised to see the ABB become a more sporadic operation and let the younger guys spend increasingly more time on their own projects. That's great that Derek is getting more attention. He really is my favorite player out there right now. His DTB records are very good--I actually preferred it before they added a full-time vocalist, but the newer ones are good, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LenF Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 He just put out a new album not to long ago. I figure there will come a day when he leaves the band to do his own thing full time. I don't know that he'll have to leave. The ABB are touring less as the original three get older and have experienced more health issues so he and the others have plenty of time to do their own thing. Plus, it's a much better revenue stream for him compared to his solo stuff, so if the schedule isn't too demanding then I would think he'd stick with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DawgSong Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Sheryl Crow played last night. What's her connection, other than through Clapton? I guess it was around the time TNBC came out cica '93, she opened a leg of a tour,can't recall the date. It may have even been the year before that album, somewherearound that period though. Back then I was stopping in at The Big House in Macon, Ga to visit Kirk & Kirsten Westa good bit. Really just seeinh how the house refurbish was going and as always just tolisten to Kirk ramble on for hours about the early days of the Brothers, etc. Kirk was absolutely in awe, I would say "love" with SC. According to Kirk, the band alsovery much liked SC and she was more than an opening act but a friend. Anytime I could find aSC bootleg, yes they were import boots back then as her following overseas was much stronger thanhere ....I would buy two and take one down to The Big House for Kirk. There may have been some post sit-ins etc over the years which I can't recall but this is the time frame where the Brothers and SC first came together. ***edit: Below is a link to The Big House, appears KW bought it in the summer of '93so I was probably stopping in by late summer. I assume then SC opened some summer '93dates. History of TBH, Macon, Ga Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 History of TBH, Macon, Ga Edit: it's out now. 25 bucks. Please Call Home The film chronicles three years from 1970 to 1973 when the Allman Brothers Band lived in the "Big House" at 2321 Vineville Avenue in Macon, Georgia. This was a time that saw triumph and tragedy as the band went from playing for free in Central City Park in Macon and Piedmont Park in Atlanta to selling out stadiums across the country, but also lost two of its brothers, seminal slide guitarist Duane Allman and bassist Berry Oakley, in separate motorcycle accidents a year apart on the streets of Macon. These were the years that the group became the road warriors who broke down color barriers as the first integrated rock band to come out of the South. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DawgSong Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I hope that film comes out on dvd eventually. Please Call Home I agree, would love to see the film. During this time of the Piedmont gigs theBrothers and all hanger-ons had access to the artist Peter Max's place near thepark. I'm not sure why PM had a studio/house in Georgia at the time. My aunt (who BTW turned me onto good music back then and got this kid's ball rollin')was a frequent attendee of the park shows as well PM's place. Oh, the stories shehas shared.

quarter23cd Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 wow, the allman's are big sheryl crow fans? that's disheartening.I remember really liking the first song on her first album. That's about it, really. Eh, oh well. I don't really see too much musical connection (although she always did strike me as a "classic rock" fangirl), but maybe she is just a friend of the band? I mean, really, what is Bruce Willis' musical connection to the band? I mean, that Seagram's Wine Coolers commercial was teh awesome all those years ago, but, really? Yeah, I guess I'd be disappointed to be in the audience the night of the Sheryl Crow guest spot and then find out that Clapton showed up at the following show. Can't win 'em all, I guess.

Analogman Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 I've always thought that song was rather sad. It's interesting to me that on the album, it is followed by the song Leave My Blues at Home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think he's pretty happy about it actually, because now he gets two nights with two different guests. I just hope he's sober enough to remember them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

quarter23cd Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 6. w/ John Popper - harpThis is the first guest-appearance through this whole thing that made me cringe. Yeah, I went through a Blues Traveler period in the early-90s, but at some point I hit my threshold of how many of his harmonica solos I can take and even now I can't take no more. Anybody else holding out a tiny shred of hope that the final night of the Beacon run will feature a reconciliation with Dickey? It would be a neat way to cap off an epic run. Seems far-fetched. I have no idea about Dickey's current status and I can't imagine that his relationship with the band has been very good for the past several years. And I don't even know if I would want it to become a permanent thing if it did happen, since Derek has been the best thing about this band for years now--but one recurrent thought through this run is "Damn, I really miss some of the Dickey songs." Seriously, a "Blue Sky" bust-out would make me smile for weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DawgSong Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I'm also hoping for a Bro Betts appearance.Matter of fact, since the "2" decided to toss out BettsI have only referred to the band as AB, or Allman Band.It isn't a brotherhood less Betts, IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
