WHEN I SAW THE ALLMAN BROS ON BOSTON COMMONS IN 1971 THAT WAS IT FOR ME. THEY HAVE BEEN MY FAVORITE BAND EVER SINCE. IT WAS A TRUE PRIVALEDGE TO THE THE ORIGINAL BAND. IN MY BOOK THEY ARE THE BEST BAND OF ALL TIME PERIOD.

Rock and Roll Jepordy Question:

If The Allman Brothers and Led Zeppelin did a song together what would they call it?

The Allman Brothers Band is quite possibly the greatest band ever. They deserved induction in their first year. The only sad thing is that some of their other members, such as Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes, were not inducted with them.

"Ramble On With A Ramblin' Man"

The Hall recognizes those who made somekind of change in music. It was THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND who created southern rock and sold out the Atlanta Stadium [52,000] by themselves. Uhhh....2000 more than the Beatles drew.

Don't know why I'm commenting here, but I just heard the song "Midnight Rider" again. Even after I've heard it a million times already, it's still a great song.

Wow, first Butch Trucks, then...

Rest in Peace Gregg Allman, 1947-2017.

RIP to the late great Gregg Allman. I had the pleasure to see Allman live last summer when he toured with Peter Frampton. Allman performed many songs that night including 'Midnight Rider,' 'I'm No Angel,' 'Ain't Wastin' Time No More,' 'Black Hearted Woman' and 'Whipping Post.' An amazing set and he sounded great. I make it a point to see older musicians because you just don't know what could happen to them. I'm glad I did see him because he postponed shows due to his worsening health that resulted in a trip to the Mayo clinic. He was one of the truly great rock musicians and had such a distinctive and powerful voice. This is a major blow to the rock world.

I am a bit overdue for a tribute to Gregg Allman, so here goes:

It doesn't take a genius, one who appreciates all music, of any level to know the impact Gregg Allman and his brother Duane had on rock history. People will say without the Allman Brothers, there would be no Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band, or Charlie Daniels. Who knows. Or maybe somebody else would have paved the way to popularize what is known today as Southern-style rock. What about some of the non-Southern rock bands that were also during that era? I'm sure they are crediting Allman some way or another. They deservedly got in their first year of eligibility. Speaking of which...

I have read parts, or bits and pieces of his memoir which came out a few years back. He does start with one of his most embarrassing moments, which was accepting Rock Hall honors on stage, all piss drunk. Luckily, that was his wake-up call. Gregg still performed like there was no tomorrow. My favorite blogger Bob Lefsetz (who always wrote positively about Allman) said of Gregg a couple years back, that Gregg 'was a musician who's a Southern gentleman, with a soft-spoken voice, but with a brain working overtime...". His mind knew what to deliver but not his body.

I never saw Gregg live, and wasn't high on my priority list. I knew he wasn't going to last forever, either. Not to get into my personal taste, but I never really got into the Allman Brothers music. I do like some Southern classic rock, and jam music if I ever get in the mood, but for some reason, it just never clicked. I always thought "Ramblin' Man" and "One Way Out" were over played, especially on TV and movies. But "Midnight Rider" is a favorite chill song of mine and "Whipping Post" is one I consider a classic.

It always seems that Gregg lived a dream rock star life. I mean, he had a high-profile marriage at one time, and when you're a pioneer, most of the time you live to see credit given to you, or so it seems. But I know, that Gregg had his share of fame and fortune, struggles and everything. He knew what it was like to have everything (as in money), to being broke. He did live to tell it all.

No matter, Gregg made more than his mark in rock history, and he gets to rest now, finally.

Talk about a double shot in the nuts, losing both Greg Allan and Chris Cornell. I saw Soundgarden back in 2012 during their first tour back on the road since the 90's and it was a great show. Not seeing The Allman Brothers is one of my biggest regrets. Their first 5 albums are masterpieces. Both will be greatly missed.
