October 28 2014 - the last show

The Beacon is buzzing, the web server is groaning from the load, and my cell phone battery is 48%
Hold on, strap yourself in, Lana is hyperventilating, and we are filled with mixed emotions as we contemplate the final ABB show
Just heard a couple hits on the bass drum,..
I'll get right to it...

Rowland: I just want to thank you and Lana for all you have done for all of us over the years. It has been an amazing ride and I am thankful that I got to share so many shows with my family and friends. The Road Does indeed Go on Forever because of the friendships we have forged over all these years. Enjoy tonight sir. Thanks again, Johnny Garth

Thanks Johnny!

But Ayla & I are here for the show

What an opening to a show…this is going to be EPIC!!!
Thank you Rowland and Lana! Rowland I've had the opportunity to shake your hand a time or two but I've had the pleasure to spend a few shows/pre-shows with the beautiful Lana…thank you both for the space you've filled with your love and positive energy!

Rowland, come up to Loge A 101 and i'll hook you up with my recharger. What phone do you have?

From the looks of things, sounds like a perfect night.

Thanks for the updates, Rowland.
I was kind of wondering though...how the heck does someone really take in a show...and hang out on a web site at the same time?
I'm old... 😉

Set II

Rumor has it they are playing till 2:30

PERFECT opening setlist!

Sounds like one for the ages so far, there's still a lot to plow through though
Oh, and the server must have cooled down, it's full speed ahead

Solid but slightly subdued relative to last nights scorcher. I get the sense they are doing the slow build for a rip-roaring 2nd set, but time will tell. So happy to be in the house and enjoying every minute, sight, sound and smell 🙂

Are they at set break?

With you there in spirit
Thanks for the updates

Sounds like " love is everywhere "
Thanks for the updates, from the other coast!

Wanted to join the chorus of thanks to you and Lana, Rowland. You are doing, and have done, a wonderful thing here and touched many lives in the process. So glad to have been a part of it and the wonderful music that is The Allman Brothers Band! Y'all enjoy!

I waited on line at the box office for 5 hours and scored one of the last tickets they released at around 8:50. 15th row Orchestra Center. The show has been phenomenal so far and I met some of the coolest people tonight waiting on line. More later. On with the show. This has been an amazing run of shows for me.

You gotta love technology - I just resized the web server from my cell phone at the show!
Twice the power so hopefully enough juice
And speaking of juice, huge thanks to Brosicle for a cell charge battery
Amazing first set!
I'll get right to it...

Rowland,
Thank you to you and Lana for all these years. Enjoy the rest of the last "Evening With."

Wake up mama time for some Statesboro Blues!!
I'll get right to it...
