Nice review --- at least someone's paying attention 😆
And I learned a new word. Does Kirk West know he's a "griot"?
-
a member of a class of traveling poets, musicians, and storytellers who maintain a tradition of oral history in parts of West Africa.
@islalala I'd never heard the word. But it fits Kirk except the West Africa part.
A couple of weeks ago I read on line The Allman Brothers Band plans to tour next year and record a new studio album.
It said Warren Haynes, Derek and Duane Trucks and Oteil are confirmed and the rest of the lineup would be set soon.
I was skeptical it could be true. In my opinion Warren and Derek wouldn't use the name Allman Brothers Band even if such a project is considered.
A few days later the story disappeared so it must have been fake news.
I'd buy an album by a band called The Brothers but not the Allman Brothers Band.
It would sully the legacy of the Allman Brothers Band to tour and record as the Allman Brothers Band with zero original members.
Even if Jaimoe appeared on the album it would be a stretch to call it the Allman Brothers Band.
A tour saluting Gregg and Duane Allman, Dickey, Butch, Berry and Jaimoe and perhaps have Chuck Leavell in the lineup would be fine to me.
Good post robertdee - all the talk at the time was how amazing a show it was, just like that whole final week at the Beac
this one & the amazing March 2020 coda at MSG - the last-ever ABB shows, just like The Final Note, Owings Mill - would together be a tremendous, almost definitive record of the band’s history, especially of course post-2000 - they got it in just b4 covid hit, watta miracle - the stoke was equally high for that show, The Brothers - Gregg & Butch would’ve been pleased
awesome to see the full Oct 2014 finale out - thanks guys!😁🎼I love the ABB
@stephen Yes those October 2014 shows were real good. I saw The Brothers show too and it was good.
According to Butch Trucks, Gregg Allman, Old Coot and several others ( wish I had been in NYC in June 1971, was in March) the next to closing night show at the Fillmore East was the best show the Allman Brothers ever played. But it didn't get recorded!!! 🙁
The next night, closing night did. But Butch and Gregg said it wasn't as amazing and other worldly as the night before.
Here is Done Somebody Wrong on closing night which is like a rocket taking off. I just can't begin to imagine how good the night before was.
@robertdee That version is by far the best version I've ever heard and it is the best solos that Dickey played on that tune and One Way Out from that night. Captn Skipper sent me his remix and It made me fell like I was standing on stage between them...Make's your big toe go right up through your shoe...

The two goats.
With all due respect to Derek, Warren and Oteil and they are real good....the Allman Brothers Band and it's unique sound is at its best when it's Duane, Dickey and Berry.
Too bad it only lasted from 1969 to 1971.
Well I'm happy to see A review, but I honestly thought the writing was ghastly🤮 like some high school student trying to jam as many large words into a review as possible- it's rock n roll fr gosh shakes 😎

Ha, this author's work has been shared here previously and I wrote the same thing. I appreciate his enthusiasm and I don't like to rag on fellow fans' work, but he really needs an Editor. Every sentence is over-written and clunky. He probably thinks it's poetic but it's just word salads that would be too much for even Yoda.
"There as elsewhere during [Through out] the three sets"
Like, just say that.
Um ExACTly!
I would suggest that's true only when the reading comprehension level is lacking?!?!?
@waitinforrain Wotta shame you don't find profundity in 'rock n roll'; it's there, albeit in only a few selected artist's work, so look harder (if you dare!?!)

You say you're suggesting but you end with question marks - so are you suggesting or asking my opinion?
To answer your question, insults are the last refuge of the insecure. I can read just fine but I prefer to not read run-on sentences. Again, I appreciate the author's enthusiasm for the music, but I'm simply not a fan of the writer's purple prose. Using more words doesn't make the message more nuanced, just more convoluted. Writing is about art and communication, and this is an unfocused word jumble:
The patient but rabid audience offers instant recognition of the instrumental introduction to “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” after which the intonation in Gregg Allman’s voice, as he begins to sing, triggers a flood of emotion: the moving likes of those moments has been curiously absent from earlier portions of this last live performance by this iconic unit.
Talk about running on....
hehehehohohohahahahahahahahehehehohoho
@dovetail maybe you have a comprehension issue here because I was not talking about the artist I was talking about that terribly written review 😂
No, I comprehend alright, perhaps more fully than you realize...
Why is it hard to get this show on CD? I had to buy it used on Amazon. It hasn’t been out very long.
S/b able to get it in latest form thru ABB merch
A friend of mine was told recently in Macon the final show is selling just "so-so". But the fedility is very good.
I hope they sell most of the copies ordered and I'm glad it's out. It's an important show. The last time ever the Allman Brothers Band played.
The RFK 1973'show should do alright and I doubt the first run of CDs will be as many as the final show.
Be conservative with the initial order and if it sells out have a second printing.
