The CD release presents the same playlist as the long out-of-print limited release from 1996, with all new mastering from Bear's original tapes. In fact, all of the source tapes for the CD have been mastered and will be released as high-resolution downloads (available on July 27 through our website).

These downloads showcase never before released material from each performance, including the earliest known live concert recordings of “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed,” which the band opened with on each of the three nights. Here's a sample of it from the February 14 version that's on the CD. If you're attending the Festival this week, we hope you'll stop by the Allman Brothers Band Museum table to visit with us and have a listen...

Bill Graham and the Rock & Roll Revolution is both a deeply personal reflection on Graham’s life and an exploration of how Graham helped transform rock music into the immersive, multi-dimensional, and highly lucrative phenomenon of rock theater that persists today. Treasured photographs and artifacts from Graham’s early life and career will be on loan from the Graham family, many on view to the public for the first time. Also for the first time ever, preparatory drawings and the original artwork of several iconic Fillmore concert posters will be on museum display, revealing the signature visual styles and creative process of poster artists Bonnie MacLean, Wes Wilson, David Singer, Greg Irons, and David Byrd.

This exhibition explores the extraordinary life of Bill Graham (1931- 1991), a renowned music promoter who helped launch and promote the careers of countless rock & roll artists. It also traces the indomitable spirit of a man brought to the United States as an eleven-year-old Jewish refugee fleeing the Nazis, fueling a lifelong passion and advocacy for social justice.

Bill Graham and the Rock & Roll Revolution opens to the public on August 18, 2018 and will be on display through February 10, 2019 at The Florida Holocaust Museum.

I want to invite you to Roots Rock Revival, the summer jam band camp founded by Butch Trucks and initiated with myself along with Luther & Cody Dickinson of The North Mississippi Allstars. Now in its 6th year, this unique five-day experience has grown beyond our wildest dreams.

The 2018 line up features an amazing team of host artists including: Jaimoe, Eric Krasno, Johnny Vidacovich, John Medeski, Grahame Lesh, Vaylor Trucks, Berry Duane Oakley, Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Bird Horns, Junior Mack, Hash and Congo (Thievery Bass and Drum), and Brandon “Taz” Niederauer.

Each day offers a curriculum of workshops and seminars, an evening concert, three gourmet meals, and nightly open jams that go on and on. All this happens at the incredible Full Moon Resort nestled in the Catskill Forest Preserve, just a few miles from Woostock (New York).

You don’t need to be an accomplished musician to benefit from the camp and all ages are welcome. There is a wide array of accommodations, from tents to brand new luxury Mountain View Cottages. I encourage anyone who wants to keep the flame that Butch lit burning, to come join the Roots family gathering. This year’s camp is from August 6th through 10th.
