I'm not into tribute shows and I know many on this site are not. However, last evening I saw a really good band in Chicago. They are called "Peach Jam". The lead singer tried to do Gregg but of course, that isn't possible. He still tried. It was a five-piece group. The guy that was kind of Dickey was my favorite. His vocals on Blue Sky and Ramblin' Man were amazing. He even looked like Dickey from the 70s. 

The guy on keys was good. They did Jessica and handled it quite well. He was on a Hammond. Was he Chuck? Of course not. But he was really good. 

The only "new" song they did was Soulshine of course. Ugh for me. Wink  

They even threw in a Mtn Jam tease. 

If you ever get to Chicago, check these guys out. Well worth $22. Very cheap for Chicago!

Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.

There's a good one in the Bay area called Freestone Peaches.  Alan Paul sat in with them last year when he was there, I believe it was for a book signing.  The singer, Jefferson Bergey, is REALLY good and he handles Gregg's vocals about as well as anyone could.  They broadcasted this show live for free and what blew me away the most was a really tender These Days which I was not expecting.  They gig only occasionally and to my knowledge do not travel outside of the Bay area.

 I fall into the same boat. I am indifferent to them. Really no feelings and never gone out of my way to see one. Maybe one of these days, but good to hear it was a nice time!

 

Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,

There sure are a lot.  Just heard about Soulshine Band.  Over the last few years I have been trying to see as many as I can. Some good stuff and then too much running around. Just step up and play 😎

@mulemewarren  I saw Chris Anderson sit in with the ABB in Florida about 1995. Dickey and Warren let Chris stretch out on Blue Sky. 

This may be the same show. I thought it was Jacksonville

Chris Anderson takes the first solo.

Thanks for the clip.  Dickey could sure make that gold top sing.  That looks like "Rook" on bass at the end.

The Brothers Revival show was very good.  Had to spend the Skynyrd opener in the lobby.   Chris Anderson was excellent on guitar with a PRS. Several nice solo's and he stepped it up on Liz Reed. Rook was right there on bass and Mike Kach has the Gregg vocals down pretty good. Glad I got to see Chris Anderson again after 19 years when Hughie brought him to the Outlaws comeback.
