Wow they make it clear Dickey was pissing in everyone's drink for years, focused on himself and a mean bully.

Dickey had to go or the band was done. Actually Gregg and Butch had already quit. They made that decision in Atlanta in the spring of 2000.

Sadly this revitalized lineup was wanting to quit by 2009. I guess because Derek and Warren and Gregg too were wanting to pursue their solo bands.

I didn't have time to listen to all of it but got about 40 minutes of it.

Thanks for posting it!!

That was as good as "Let's Make A Dope Deal". Behind one of the three doors was Officer O' Malley of the FBI!! If you choose his door your time on the show is over because YOU ARE BUSTED!!...

Is this exactly the same as the one on the DVD? I remember watching it but don't remember it being an hour & 16minutes long.

True Colors: 2003 documentary from THE Beacon Concert DVD

This great 2003 documentary was a snapshot of where the band was at in 2003 when they had just released their new HITTIN’ THE NOTE album and recorded and released the LIVE AT THE BEACON CONCERT DVD

This was part of the DVD as a special feature, but was never released any other way until now.

With the coming release of the Gregg Allman, THE MUSIC OF MY SOUL documentary which is a comprehensive tale of Gregg’s entire life plus an in-depth piece also on ABB this stands as an interesting unique look at just 2003

Produced and Directed by Michael Drumm for Peach Records and the Sanctuary Music Group

The Perfect Gift for Warren

I recently read that Warren Haynes has teamed up with the Asheville City Soccer Club to create a custom apparel collection with his initials, WH, on the pieces. What a great guy he is and what a perfect gift for any Warren, soccer, or Asheville fan!

Speaking of a perfect gifts, the Allman Brothers Band played at Red Rocks 26 times between 1979 and 2009. When I was with them I often used my free time to roam around nearby cities to shop and grab a bite to eat before getting ready for the show. During one of those rambles I ran across what I considered to be a perfect gift for Warren, a hat.

After determining that it would fit him I took it back to the hotel, put it in a box, wrapped it up, and carried it backstage. When Warren arrived I told him I had a present for him and handed him the package.

"What is it?", he asked.

"A hat. A custom hat with your initials on it."

"You shouldn't have ..." , he continued as he began removing the gift wrap.

"Oh, it was nothing. But I thought if was perfect for you."

Soon he was holding the hat in his hands. A Waffle House paper hat which, of course, had his initials, WH, on it.

Warren thought it was perfect too - perfectly hilarious! - and wore it during the show until the wind blew it off his head. What a great guy!

@kcjimmy Oh my me too. Pushing 80.

There is good video of the 1986 Nashville show on You Tube. Only audio that I've found of the Bill Graham 1986 New York show.
