The line up question again ????? Well, here's the truth.
The ABB couldn't announce a line up as it changes from show to show. They have different guys play a kind of air guitar while a recording of Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes plays in the background.
They just slap a long blond wig with a pony tail on the local town drunk or sometimes it's one of the record co exec's kids and bingo there's Derek for the night. Most of the time it's Warren's guitar tech who plays the role of Warren - he doesn't wear his "I'm not him" tee shirt for this part of his gig though.
Jimmy Herring replaces Gregg almost every night and fakes playing the organ, while a recording of Jimmy Smith's greatest hits plays in the background. They use old Bobby Blue Bland records for Gregg's vocals.
Percussion is usually played by participants in an anger management class. They pay the band for this therapy. They've got 2 shows recorded and that's why every other show is identical. This is a drag but think of all the $$$ you will save on b&p postage from this point forward.
The Evil Gregg and Eviler Butch (or is GA more evil, I keep forgetting) have arranged all of this to further build their vast (and evil) empire.
