The Economies of the Allman Brothers Band

The Economies of the Allman Brothers Band.

It's interesting but not sure if it's accurate. Seems to be.

When Gregg died in 2017 Celebrity Net Worth listed Gregg Allman worth $18 million dollars. Dickey was on the site as worth $40 million, Jaimoe at $2 million and Butch Trucks in the negative.

The Fillmore Concerts - 1992 release Elizabeth Reed

PaulColetti — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 20:54:21 +0000

The CD booklet notes quote Tom Dowd noting that he used a different Dickey Betts solo on this set for the Liz Reed. To my ears, Dickey's solo on this set sounds exactly like the one from the original AFE album. Anyone have any info? Are the notes wrong or was the CD changed at the last minute?

Thanks

I Could Use your Help

THE DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO DECEMBER 8TH DUE TO A SCHEDULING CONFLICT WITH THE VENUE.
For the last two years, I have been having some severe medical and financial problems. After a series of very hard falls, I have been unable to work and am now looking at being a homeless ward of the state at the end of December. I havehad an 8 section laminectomy (C2 to T2) to prevent me from becoming paralyzed and chair bound. On October 1st, I had a total left knee replacement. I still need to undergo a year long series of infusions to raise my bone density in order to have a new procedure they have developed to restore my lower back and be able to walk again.
In true Nashville style, my many musical friends(I am blessed beyond my worth) have secured the use of 3rd and Lindsley (thank you Ron Brice, owner) to host a fund raiser.
As of this afternoon this list includes (and will grow)
Jonell Mosser
Etta Britt
Charles "Wigg" Walker
The Jack Pearson Trio
Lee Roy Parnell (dependent on date change)
As we establish a link for contributions, GoFundMe account and more artists, I will update it here.
I'm only hoping to be able to supplement my $100/ month Social Security to the point I can pay my necessary bills and keep a roof over my head,
Many thanks for the friends and folks I have met through this site and the ABB family.
I hope you can help in any way or amount.
Thanks,
Mike West

Performance Improvements

rowland — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 13:07:36 +0000

I've made a number of performance improvements for the site on both mobile and desktop. I haven't changed the Forum at all so you may or may not notice an improvement here, but the rest of the site should load faster. Sometimes speeding things up introduces bugs, so let me know if you find one.

Hit that note,

Rowland

Hey, something looks different!

rowland — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 20:37:24 +0000

We just finsihed a site refresh. Main updates:

Updated look and feel
New homepage and simplified nav bar
Full bios page (Band) with band lineups per era
Improved layout for Discography (Music), News, Photos
Login at the top right, and once logged in that is a dropdown for your account and member stuff
Links for available albums added to appropriate show pages

Let me know by PM or post here if anything needs a fix. Should be good on phones, tablets and desktops.

Hit that note,

Rowland and Lana

Hi, I’ve been a big music fan for 50+ years. I feel very lucky to be in the right place at the right time to see them four times.
My primary hobby is collecting live music. I have every circulating Jimi Hendrix audio file. I have 90+ SRV, and 25 Allman Brothers Band shows.
I have turned my attention to acquiring audio for shows I’ve seen. So far I have 7.
I would really appreciate adding this show to the short list of shows I saw.
Thank you

Hi, I’ve been an Allman Brothers fan since my friend Doug loaned me a copy of Dreams, cd2. That was in 1990. I have been lucky enough to see them four times. Of course all the shows were awesome!

I have been collecting shows I’ve been to for maybe a decade and have 7.

I would really appreciate a copy to add to my collection-

Thank you

Billy Gibbons @ Crossroads 9/26/26

I posted links to the entire Crossroads 2026 shows, Day One & Day Two. But they're really long, and in case anyone missed it, here's Billy Gibbons & The BFG Band's entire scorching 25 minute set from Day One. Bill Murray says it all: "The cool has entered this building." I couldn't agree more. BFG includes Chris Layton (SRV's Double Trouble), Drums, and Mike Flanigin, Bass and Vocals. I've watched it several times, just can't get enough.......

Church Music

Lana — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 18:41:11 +0000

The Gregg Allman Band and Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble toured together during the summer of 1987 with a Tuesday, June 9th date in Minneapolis.

It didn’t matter that this was also the evening of the annual fellowship dinner at our church. I was going to the concert.

I helped with the planning and set-up of the dinner … then just didn’t show up.

The show, of course, was wonderful. After it was over I bought an “I’m No Angel” t-shirt and happily headed home.

The next day I was still on a concert high, but by Thursday my conscience was nagging at me. I needed to confess.

I stayed after church Sunday. When everyone else had gone I approached Pastor Hiiva who was breaking down his musical gear.

“Pastor Mark, I have a confession to make. I didn’t come to the dinner Tuesday because I went to Minneapolis to see Gregg Allman. I’m so sorry.”

His response? “Don’t be sorry, Lana. I love the Allman Brothers Band. If I could have gone, I would have too.” With that he picked up his guitar and played a beautiful acoustic version of Whipping Post that made me happier than the concert had.

Pastor Hiiva moved on from our church and I, well, somehow became part of the Allman Brothers Band family. I like to think if Mark knew that he’d be happy too.
