What Allman Bros/ family band music have you listened to today

I was listening to 2010 NYC show this morning and The new Govt mule album while working out today, How about yourself?

Been listening to a copy of my first Gov't Mule show, 8/22/95 at the Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA today and the past few days (thanks PhotoRon)

Just received the UK `grey area' 1979 Merriweather Post Pavilion CD - spinning it now. I
can remember taping this live broadcast on cassette from the radio.

Spun Dreams, Ain't Wastin Time No More, and Wilson Pickett and Duane Allman Hey Jude on the jukebox at the tavern just after midnight. Only 1 credit each - most stuff on there is 2 credits. Dreams always resets the vibe, every time, without fail. Magic sounds.

Brothers&sisters side1.Hittin the note side1 both vinyl.While i drove to the record store to go shopping Live at the beacon 1992.Since I consider Eric Clapton to be part of the family as well Unplugged,Wheels of Fire and John Mayalls 70th birthday featuring the blues breakers.What a great cd this is.Happy Saturday.

Mule

I always play that Dreams box set and the Duane Anthology. Been delving into Dickey’s solo stuff to see what’s out there. If Clapton is included I’ve been listening albums I didn’t exist from Clapton - Apple Music has like fifty. The Backless album and few others I’ve never heard before. Govt Mule’s Mighty High album seems to always find its way into the rotation.

Sea Level - 2/7/77 - Ivanhoe Theater - Chicago ...

Been listening to two 1990 ABB shows. July 2 in Atlanta probably my favorite.
The band is high energy and big-time emotion on these shows. Hot...Hot... Don't Want You No More/Cross, Statesboro, Blue Sky, One Way Out and lots of material from their then new album Seven Turns.
Warren, Allen, Gregg, Butch and Jaimoe are really bringing it. Two things that stick out on both shows is Johnny Neal's high energy barrel roll piano playing often sounds misplaced and out of sync with the rest of the band which is very tight. Johnny's harp playing is fine and his lead vocals on The Blues Ain't Nothing are fine and he sounds fine on the album and on Pattern Disruptive so it was surprising. And the Dickey Betts Band and ABB shows I saw with Johnny I remember being very good. Johnny was not rehired by the band when his contact expired at the end of 1990.
The other surprise for me is how Dickey is the hottest musician on stage on several songs. His energy and power, tone and play on Statesboro, Blue Sky, Gamblers Roll etc is stellar.

DTB "Out of the Madness." Kickin Back!!
After some mention of it on this page recently, I also gave Fleetwood Mac "Shrine 69" a spin. Great stuff.

The brilliant Southern Blood. Very emotional.

Betts, Hall, Leavell And Trucks - Live At The Coffee Pot 1983
Been streaming this the last couple of days...

Watched the first night of Clapton at The Beacon from 2009. Several of us from here were there both nights (first night was better). The video is so cool because I couldn't see the stuff that is on the footage from my seat.

Listening to American University. Hadn't done so in a very long time. Kind of forgot how good it is.

You're quite welcome.

TTB from Macon, downloaded just for Whipping Post.
This band really doesn't do much for me.

Listened to Gregg Allman Laid Back yesterday. Hit the spot!

Dickey Betts-The official Bootleg

Dark side of the Mule

Spun TTB's Oakland album for the first time in a while - this band just keeps getting better and better.

Searching For Simplicity. A Gregg gem. Jack Pearson’s slide work is incredible. Great guest appearance by Derek. Red Dog suggested the acoustic Whippin Post, what a great version!

I listened to that myself this morning, just makes me wonder how an ABB album would of sounded with Jack playing on it.

"Shades of two worlds" Let it play through twice; some seriously good stuff on that CD.
"End of the line" remains in my top 5.....

Pedro & Friends Too -- great vibe to it, great playing, many musicians, a take of Hendrix' My Friend that so belongs on that disc

Gov't Mule doing The Sky is Crying with Walter Trout.

SUNY 9/19/71. Forgot how good this is.

Win, lose or draw

Andy Aledort & the Groove Kings, Live at the Northstar 2009 -- a more smokin' album would be hard to find -- the wah wah pedal is in its glory on Wrapped Up In Love Again -- Andy is Brilliant on this

Final show has been in the car player for a couple days.
I sure miss this band.

Just watched a chunck of the Tedeschi Trucks Band Free Webcast 2/20/18.
