Thanks for the links, Kraniac! I didn't go to many concerts when I was younger, and I especially regret not seeing the Allman Brothers live.

No video of the performance, but here's "Nobody Knows," one of the best songs of the ABB's late period. Great vocals from Gregg in a Dickey Betts composition.

I was so lucky the first time I saw the allman bros. One of my FAVORITE bands, but I wasn't really thrilled with the post-Duane version of the band although one of my favorite songs - High Falls came from that era. For me, it was the Fillmore band that thrill me.

In 1989 the ABB announced a concert in Sacramento as an afterthought - sometimes bands roll through the SF bay area and stop by Sacramento, sometimes not. But they only announced a week in advance - there was almost no one there (outdoors - Cal Expo Amphitheater). A big huge lawn was only about 15% filled and some people in the stands. it was the lightest attendance of a major band I had ever seen before or since.

IT WAS WONDERFUL! And that was the year they broke out with Warren Haynes - a guy that could play slide on a level with Duane. What a shock! It was an amazing show - one of my alltime favorites. I told everyone that would listen - GO SEE THE ALLMAN BROS - THEY ARE BACK!

Saw them many times since, but that was the best. Saw Gregg's band once - all great stuff.

Thanks for all those links, which lead to yet more links.

Gregg's voice was a singular marker, and one that will be missed. I wish that I had taken the chance to see him when I passed by a theater in Burlington a few years back and it was nearly show time with some tickets left. Always take those opportunities!
