Live classic 70s Southern ROck......


Hey folks...going on a road trip down to the deep south...and looking for some cool tunes to keep me company...at any rate here is what I was thinking:

One More for the ROad(Deluxe)
ABB-fillmore East (deluxe)
Maybe early zz top?

Any others?...

How about "The Band' and "Graham Parson".

The top three by a wide margin and in order of greatness are The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Marshall Tucker Band.
ABB's, "Live at Fillmore East" is a masterpiece by any standard.

As a Georgian let me just throw in couple of others: The Georgia Satellites, Drive By Truckers, The Black Crows, and The Atlanta Rythym Section. (REM... definitely not).

BTW, I saw Hank III this weekend and all I can say is: WOW. The band consisted of a steel guitar, a fiddle, a drummer, three guitars and a stand up bass, playing what I would describe as heavy speed metal rock. Now, that's southern rock!

There is great live music in Athens, Ga... so y'all stop on by ya hear.

Try on some Ry Cooder, the soundtrack for "Paris Texas". It's not live but you'll be glad you did. Maybe some Doug Sahm and his Texas Tornadoes. Also the Los Lonly Boys
Have a great trip!

Lokie, those are some great pulls! I hadn't thought of ARS in a long while. Great music. My favorite Atlanta band at the time was The Brains. No, not Southern Rock, but southern new wave rock... Cyndi Lauper had a hit with "Money Changes Everything". I liked The Brains' version better.
The Marshall Tucker Band. I heard them live at a concert and they were sooo good. Some of the members have passed on, but the band is still out there recording and playing. Sandra
