Analogman Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Usually the only good thing that comes out of musician' deaths is the usual flood of torrents that follow --- of course we won't be getting those. Definitely will be playing some Allmans tonight. Last week I listened to Idlewild South reissue, again. (read through some of this thread today - man some people got cranky -- lot's of 'bags of' stuff...) Does that have the Ludlow Garage show from 1970? I recall buying that in a record store when it first came out in 1990. I have not bought any of re-issues or Deluxe re-releases. I always wondered what that title meant - until the book came out and they talked about the name of their practice cabin. Which is funny - as Lynyrd Skynyrd also had a cabin like that.

suites Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 This one -- I think I do have it on my hard drive -- need to check when I get home. S.U.N.Y. at Stonybrook (9/19/71) : Stonybrook, NYBlue Sky with Skydog....what could be better. They only did it 3 times I think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadhse ma Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I know there are many fans besides me of ABB ...Man I'm going to miss seeing him. I had the chance to meet him a couple of times.An easy conversationalist, and funny too. I'm going to play Post tonight, and listen for those drums!The band is slowly being reformed above.Butch Trucks thanks for sharing the Joy!Rest In Peace Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Fillmore East / Brothers and Sisters / Idlewild) I do have the Stonybrook show - definitely will be listening to tonight. When suites mentioned the Blue Sky, I remembered the show. Haven't listened to it in awhile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 That Mountain Jam is over 40 minutes - if I recall. I have not listened to that in a long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hmmm. I'm starting to get it. I just need to say "eat a bag of..." (finish the sentence) and I'm in the club! Let's see...ok, eat a bag of Trucks! Hell, eat a Ramblin bag o' trucks! i randomly clicked on this thread and learned something. jw harding is composed of a dumpster full of bags of dicks.

calvino Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 That Mountain Jam is over 40 minutes - if I recall. I have not listened to that in a long time. 45:13 minutes on the reissue. My friend had the original release, so I never gotten around to buy it, since we always listened to it when we were at his place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 I wonder if it sounds better now. It was pretty muddy as I recall. I would think they were probably able to get a better analog to digital transfer all these years later. If they went back to the tape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 i randomly clicked on this thread and learned something. jw harding is composed of a dumpster full of bags of dicks.You just made the list. I'll miss Butch on those big old kettle drums at the end of Allmans sets. That was always a highlight. Remember him talking about the chronic pain he dealt with, and hope he is free from that pain and any other demons now. The road goes on forever... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Oakley is really in the high in the mix on the Stonybrook - sounds great. The Ludlow show on the reissue does sound better than the original - but is still doesn't sound that great.I have always enjoyed Ludlow. It seems like the Allmans were always complaining about monitors, like the Dead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I recall correctly it even pre-dates the very first "One From The Vault" (Pre-Dick's) release (8/13/75) by a few months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 I may have bought that cd at the same place. I was also listening to that Allman Brothers show that came out by way of the GD (Fillmore East - February 1970). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadhse ma Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Got out to hear a GD cover band last night. Out of a jam they went into 10 minutes of Whipping Post. The place went nuts, it seemed everyone was looking for some live ABB. Turned out a couple of the guys onstage had sat in with Butch on a recent Les Bres Boston stop.

Analogman Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 That is surprising to hear that he had money problems. I though he was the guy that looked after all the sort of thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Tragic. What a truly horrible experience for his wife. To choose to end your life, especially violently, is sad, but choosing to do it in front of someone that loved you is... well, I don't know what it is. Fucking hell.

jff Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 So sad. He must have been in unthinkable turmoil to have done that with his wife in the condo. I hope somewhere deep in his heart he knew how much joy he gave to music fans around the world. He said on his blog several years ago that he didn't have a lot of money, so that aspect of the story is not surprising to me, and even less surprising since the ABB stopped touring. I wish he had known there was a different way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 I have often wondered how a drummer in a band had a place in the South of France. Maybe he overspent. I recall he had some trouble with the Moogis thing he came up with several years ago. Maybe he lost a lot on that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I recall he had some trouble with the Moogis thing he came up with several years ago. Maybe he lost a lot on that. He probably spent a whole tour's worth of earnings on that. As far as I know, he isn't credited as a writer on any of their songs, so his income was primarily from live performances. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 I would think so. Too bad more bands could not follow the R.E.M. and U2 way of doing things. Of course, it is not like The Allman Brothers had any hits exactly. At least probably not since the 1970s. I recall a few years back one of their songs was in a commercial for feminine hygiene products or adult diapers. I can't recall which. I remember thinking - I hope they all got a check from that.

Reminds me of Vince Welnick doing similar (knife to throat) in his wife's presence (though Welnick had battled depression for quite awhile). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
