Gregg Allman .......I cannot believe it has been 5 years.

I've never gotten tired of listening to Live at the Filmore East.  In Memory of Elizabeth Reed from that album may be one of the best rock songs ever.  Dreams is also one of my favorite all-time songs.

I had the pleasure of sitting front row at one of his performances (800 person venue) over a decade ago.

I am a Hammond B3 player and had always marveled at the ease and grace of which he played…I tried Iike hell to mimic his style, but there is one ONE Greg Allman

What I found most intriguing was his voice, when heard live, was magic. The tone and slight rasp he had and his unique style is something I will never forget. 

Though gone from us, his music and our individual memories will last our lifetime. Thats’s a tribute of a great artist

@garebear 

I whole heartedly agree with you about Dickie Betts being an amazing guitar player, but brother Duane’s passing really changed the band. 
 

I think I’m going to listen to Idlewildsouth now.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz Government Mule 

Good morning Audiogoners …...johndel1960 then you get it ! Sure everyone knows he had is demons, but on stage there were times it was just magic. It is too bad that sometimes those demons are how people remember some of these artists. I tis too bad as I also followed the Grateful Dead around since the seventies until Jerry died. What a shame as he too was such a talented artist who gave me at least years of musical fun and pleasure but I try not to think of his demons. I could tell as I saw them both enough that when Jerry was '' using '' and Gregg was drunk and to be honest, got ticked off as they really weren't there. It is what it is …...but Gregg was one of those for me who could really sing '' those blues '' …...dam I miss it live ! Stay well all..... **** also - music _is _ life …...not sure what ; " Bzzzzzzzzz Government Mule '' means. I have see them but not sure what it means to my post. Thanks though …..
