Everyone knows that, he's on Jessica, too.

The question was if Les Dudek ever played LIVE with the Brothers and I don't know the answer. I do know that he's on the Super Deluxe version of the remastered Brothers and Sisters. He plays on a 16 minute studio jam, A Minor Jam. But "live" before an audience? Don't know.

KSAN in SF would broadcast the ABB shows "Live" from Winterland and the Cow Palace during the Allman's 73 & 74 Bay area appearances, If memory serves, the pre-broadcast show on KSAN (12-31) included a lot of insider info that Les Dudek had in fact been asked to join the band, had accepted and was going to debut that evening...But when the curtain rose and Bill Graham introduced the band, Les was not there.....

I saw Les Dudek play with the ABB on August 24th 1973 at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. He was the guitarist for Boz Scaggs at the time who opened for the Brothers that night. He played on one or two tunes, not sure what though.

One song only, Statesboro Blues and that indeed is the only time he was onstage with the ABB.

The second and third pictures above are from Grant's Lounge in Macon where many assorted members of various Capricorn label bands would get together and jam.
