Gregg Allman passed away today

Would just like to add only saw ABB once live in July of 1974 at Mile Hight Stadium in Denver. Was a great afternoon concert. I'm 61 and grew on on the music of the sixties and seventies and it seems that so many of my heroes are passing away. It was a magic time seems all we have left is the vinyl. 

........42 years of my life I have listened to him and the Allman Brothers. Countless shows and actually got to met him to sign a concert promotion poster. There will never be another. I had bought tickets and airfare and hotel nights to see him on 06/14 and 06/15 in Savanah, Georgia this year and I live in New York and after those were cancelled I feared the worse would happen, and it has. He was one of the few that actually could sing  Sam Cooke's ; '' Change Is Gonne Come '' with true musical conviction.' That '' generation ''  and style of music has really come to a close. This is a huge loss.              

One of the best southern rock vocalists,that will be truly missed.

Rest in peace.


Kenny.

Enormous loss!  Garebear, you hit the nail on the head!

RIP

For anyone interested in how Greg got his start in the industry have a look at the Muscle Shoals documentary - its on youtube,  also a better copy on Netflix.
A great way to fill in two hours
