The Allman Brothers Band

I was there. It was 10/31. I know because my birthday was the next day. Duane did not perform with the band that night (it was many years later when I found out why), and it was not a particularly memorable show. The Emory gym was not the best place to hold a concert either. I had seen the abb several times before, and this show was disappointing to me for a number of reasons…I wasn’t having the best birthday I ever had either, but I didn’t know then that next years’ birthday would be even worse…I turned 22 on 11/1/71, and everybody knows that was a really bad day.
