Can't wait......as usual!!!

Started reading mine last night. Great to find out how the making of The Fillmore East box set recordings came about and all the effort that went into it. Well done Bill Levenson, and thanks to the folks at HTN for bringing the story to us fans

I get a lot of publication, well 3.... the one I look forward to receiving most, and has consistantly raised the bar with every issue, is HTN! The writing, the selection of stories to run, the reviews of cds, the photos, the insight, etc.. is fantastic. Thanks, again, for a really great issue.

Got it last Friday. Great issue.

Just ordered my copy and can't wait to read more of the back story on how this epic box set finally became a reality!

The interview with Graham Nash offers tremendous insight into what went down on CSNY's 1974 tour - really interesting reading. The tribute to Brian was from the heart, no doubt; thank you.

Got mine a few days ago and have gone through it page by page.

Another great issue

I'm hoping it will be for sale at the Beacon......I'm still miffed that I never had
the chance to get the `Brothers And Sisters' ish. It was the only recent back-issue
not available at the HTN table at the Beacon last March.

Got mine a few days ago, along with 5 back issues featuring the Mule, and have to say it is stellar. Not only is the Bill Levenson interview fascinating but the feature on John Mayall and Blackberry Smoke make this one issue every fan has to get their hands on.

In the Bill L. interview he is asked about Bobby Caldwell, drummer from headliner Johnny Winter And, playing percusssion with the Allman's.

Here is a great interview with Bobby Caldwell about his relationship with the Allman's. I never realized how close he was with the band.

JC: Around that time how did you get to be jamming with the Allmans on the Fillmore Concerts?

BC: I had been playing with the Allmans way before I met Johnny.

JC: Okay, let’s talk about that, then.

BC: I had been playing with the Allman Brothers off-and-on when they were virtually unknown and I had become quite good friends with the band and so when I joined Johnny I ran into Duane and the band in New York and when I told him what had happened – that I had gotten on with Johnny –, he was just elated. He was so – Duane was the kinda guy that was … he was happy for you, and so my relationship had gone sometime before that.

Bobby and Duane Allman

BC:Well, here’s the strange part about that. When that Fillmore East album – are you talking about The Allmans Live at The Fillmore East?

JC: Yes, yes.

BC: When that was recorded, Johnny Winter And was headlining. A lot of people don’t know that.

JC: No, that’s interesting, because I even know it was still edited down to make a double album but it indicates that the Allmans, who were not headliners, were on stage for quite some time.

BC:Yeah, they were. It was Johnny Winter And, the Allman Brothers Band and the Elvin Bishop Group.

JC: Okay, yeah, what a line-up.

BC: And it was sold out. You couldn’t have squeezed anybody into that place, backstage, on the roof, the basement, in the front, I mean – and I played with the Allman Brothers and then I went back, changed my clothes, waited about an hour and came back out and played with Johnny.

JC: Right, so basically you’re with the Allmans throughout the whole entire gig and then you went to [laughter] Johnny.

BC: That’s correct. I played. I played.

JC: Wow, because I’ve heard live albums and, wow, both would take a lot out of a performer.

And that all happened. That was all. It was a fantastic night and that Fillmore East with the Allmans was unbelievable. I mean even now when I listen to it. A lot of people are big, big live album fans and, “What do you rank about this and that? Who do you rank…” and they rank the Johnny Winter And Live album the first one. But that Allman Brothers, they were on fire that night. Well, I mean, it was the whole weekend.

JC: Yes.

BC:So I mean it, just, oh man. I just can’t tell you. It was just phenomenal. And I was just playing percussion as I always did with them and then on a few songs I would play drums on “Midnight Rider,” a few different things.

Complete interview with a really nice picture of Bobby with Duane
