allman brothers

All I can say is that if you guys love the CD's you should hear the original mint vinyl on a good rig. Let me tell you, I've heard both and there is NO contest. Not always the absolute case (this is not a CD/LP debate flame), but it is so with Allman material. "Eat a Peach" and "Live at Fillmore"? Incredible.

To anyone who likes the Allmans - do not overlook this often overlooked album - Greg Allman: "Laid Back". It was produced and recorded just after the death of Duane and is, at once, spiritual, uplifting, introspective, and downright sad. Well worth a listen.

Who is coming to NYC to see the Bros in March. We can hook up then?

Happy Listening.

I have seen them live around 10 times and their live show last year was the best I've ever seen them (unfortunately I never saw them with Duanne). Greg is singing the clearest I have ever heard. His organ playing also has renewed enthusiasm. Their live show had three percusionist with guest appearances from 4 local artist. Lots of improviastional jam sessions betwean the band and their guest. This band rocks with the nimbleness of a jazz quartet. One of the guests was Derck Trucks wife Susan Tedeschi. She is a great blues singer... sort of like Bonnie Raite(sp?) with a little more bite.
Derick trucks latest album "Soul Serenade" has a really nice set of songs. It has a little more of a jazz sound with a cool sounding flute.

i dont know what & the hell i was thinking when i said greg allman on guitar,brain fart! i just bought a new pair of mcintosh xrt22 speakers & im discovering things in my collection that i havent gave a 2nd thought about in yrs.

i have a bunch of other allman bros but the thing that stuck in my craw with this 1 was the clear cut jazz influnce that is impressed on it.

lokie, i agree about gregs singing & also with your description of the band playing with the nimbleness of a jazz quartet,it amazes me that i have missed out on how great the allman bros are until now, i have allways loved their music but i never really considered them to be more than a good band, until now & i am currently smokin over my entire collection of them.

Duane, Greg and Warren were heavily influenced by John Coltrane and it shows in much of their music.
