82 years YOUNG today. The last surviving original ABB member! Thanks for all the music, Bro.

I love some of Jaimoe's quotes in the new Gregg Allman documentary. Sample quote (I paraphrase): "I was planning on moving to New York to play jazz. Then I met Duane Allman, and that all changed. I thought, 'I can play jazz right here, with this dude'. Whoever would have thought of starting a band with two guitar players and two drummers? I don't think anyone would have thought that would work. But that was Duane's vision."

Thanks to Lana and Rowland!

Just a quick note of appreciation to Lana and Rowland for developing and maintaining this site. I know that it's been a labor of love, and has brought people together through our common interests in the music by the band and crew. I'm not going anywhere, and hopefully neither are they, but I think that it's important to say thanks in an unprompted way.

Thanks!

Gregg Allman & Monte "Mondo" Thomas Interview At KILO 94 AM, Colorado (1988)

allmansrvvegas — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:51:47 +0000

Promoting the Gregg Allman band on their Just Before the Bullets Fly Tour in 1988, with Dr. Dave Curtis & the Housecall band being the opener. By 1988, Gregg got to be great friends with the latter's band, ex-Cactus soundman turned bass player Monte "Mondo" Thomas. They occasionally had some hilarious adventures as friends over the years up unti Gregg's passing in 2017. This interview done at KILO 94 AM radio in Colorado while stoned out of their minds was one such adventure, as Mondo himself explains in the very beginning of the video before the tape plays. Digitized & remastered by Andrew "heathinvader" Scott in 2025. Enjoy!

At Fillmore East dropped 7/6/71

55 years ago today At Fillmore East was released and gave the band a big shot in the arm. It sold ( and outsold the first two albums) over 100,000 copies the first week and went on to go GOLD in Duane's lifetime which made Duane proud and the other band members thought Duane was right all along. This band is going to do real good.

Today the album is Platinum ( over 1 million copies sold) and is regarded by many critics of rock music the best live album to date 55 years later.

Interesting how Mike Mattison (a Harvard grad and English major) inspired the entire band to read the lengthy Layla poem, which of course inspired Eric Clapton as well.

Well, just got this album in the mail a few days ago, and I've been listening to it. Really enjoy it!! All the artists did a great job doing some BB King tunes. Joe Bonamassa did a great job choosing the artists & songs, and producing it as well. Let me know what you think of this album as well.
