Had to do a double take

marco — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 17:24:35 +0000

Was at the local "Wally-Mart" and they have their own syndicated radio station/ programs.

Anyway, tooling up and down the aisles and low and behold I hear Gregg's voice, upon getting closer to a speaker they were playing Stormy Monday from Fillmore East - pleasantly suprised.

My Brother Featured in Guitar World Magazine

Jason never tells me about this stuff. I guess he doesn't want to brag. I googled his name Sunday night and this article came up. He's been in the limelight for so long now, you just find stuff. You guitar players may understand the second half of the article; I was completely lost. I even had a great guitarist named Chris here in the El Paso area tell me that he has a very simple setup that he's used for over 25 years, and HE was lost reading Jason's equipment details. Jason has been a gearhead ever since he worked in a music store as a teenager. The article is fairly recent, issued in 2025. Oh, Chris did add this:

"I found what I liked by 2000 and haven't sought out new things, besides replacing my tube screamer with the Octonaut Hyperdrive that Jason did a demo on youtube. It's perfect for me!"

Favorite Sax Solos in a Rock Song

cmgst34 — Mon, 26 Oct 2026 03:06:38 +0000

Let’s stick with studio songs, because live can go down a billion roads.

1. Long As I Can See The Light. So awesome. So awesome. And that first vocal line of the final verse after the solo . . .

2. Old Time Rock and Roll — kinda goofy song, but MAN I love that solo.

3. It Makes No Difference (Band)

Can’t think of more off the top of my head but thought of this because I heard Whitney’s “How Will I Know” tonight for the first time in ages and never realized the sax solo in it before.

I'm sure there’s some Springsteen that belongs, just don’t really listen to him much.

The Economies of the Allman Brothers Band

The Economies of the Allman Brothers Band.

It's interesting but not sure if it's accurate. Seems to be.

When Gregg died in 2017 Celebrity Net Worth listed Gregg Allman worth $18 million dollars. Dickey was on the site as worth $40 million, Jaimoe at $2 million and Butch Trucks in the negative.

The Fillmore Concerts - 1992 release Elizabeth Reed

PaulColetti — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 20:54:21 +0000

The CD booklet notes quote Tom Dowd noting that he used a different Dickey Betts solo on this set for the Liz Reed. To my ears, Dickey's solo on this set sounds exactly like the one from the original AFE album. Anyone have any info? Are the notes wrong or was the CD changed at the last minute?

Thanks

I Could Use your Help

THE DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO DECEMBER 8TH DUE TO A SCHEDULING CONFLICT WITH THE VENUE.
For the last two years, I have been having some severe medical and financial problems. After a series of very hard falls, I have been unable to work and am now looking at being a homeless ward of the state at the end of December. I havehad an 8 section laminectomy (C2 to T2) to prevent me from becoming paralyzed and chair bound. On October 1st, I had a total left knee replacement. I still need to undergo a year long series of infusions to raise my bone density in order to have a new procedure they have developed to restore my lower back and be able to walk again.
In true Nashville style, my many musical friends(I am blessed beyond my worth) have secured the use of 3rd and Lindsley (thank you Ron Brice, owner) to host a fund raiser.
As of this afternoon this list includes (and will grow)
Jonell Mosser
Etta Britt
Charles "Wigg" Walker
The Jack Pearson Trio
Lee Roy Parnell (dependent on date change)
As we establish a link for contributions, GoFundMe account and more artists, I will update it here.
I'm only hoping to be able to supplement my $100/ month Social Security to the point I can pay my necessary bills and keep a roof over my head,
Many thanks for the friends and folks I have met through this site and the ABB family.
I hope you can help in any way or amount.
Thanks,
Mike West

Billy Gibbons @ Crossroads 9/26/26

I posted links to the entire Crossroads 2026 shows, Day One & Day Two. But they're really long, and in case anyone missed it, here's Billy Gibbons & The BFG Band's entire scorching 25 minute set from Day One. Bill Murray says it all: "The cool has entered this building." I couldn't agree more. BFG includes Chris Layton (SRV's Double Trouble), Drums, and Mike Flanigin, Bass and Vocals. I've watched it several times, just can't get enough.......

Crossroads 2026 Days One & Two Available For Streaming

DAY ONE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2cCj0CAQk4

I watched Day One yesterday, the entire 6-1/2 hours. REALLY worth your time, and one of the better Crossroads shows I have seen, especially if you happen to be a fan of The Tedeschi/Trucks Band. Eric Clapton obviously recognizes the intense greatness of this band, because TTB starts right around the 5 hour mark and they finish at 6:30. That's right, a 90 minute set. If you've seen all the Crossroads shows like me, you know that NO band, or any other artist for that matter, has ever got anything remotely close to a 90 minute time slot. Add in some awe-inspiring TTB sit-ins by Trey Anastasio, John Mayer, and the Man himself, Mr. Clapton. Another highlight: Right around the 4:30 mark, Billy Gibbons & The BFG Band delivered a blistering set of ZZ Top tunes. BFG includes Chris Layton (SRV's Double Trouble) on drums and Mike Flanigin on bass/vocals. My advice: DON'T MISS THIS ONE. Here's Day Two, which I'm just getting into, and it's even longer at 7-1/2 hours. ENJOY........

DAY TWO
