Great post, Bro. Turnitup. Sometimes greatness isn't perceived until long after the fact. Part of the magic of our band is that we realize we are hearing something that is near the best mankind has ever produced, even as we take it in. Long live the spirit of Bro. Duane Allman. EAPFP
Sorry, that was KCJimmy. They look so much alike.
Benjamin is easily scared. (Or amused)
What color is it now?

Hey there sweet family,
Give it up for turnitup - the latest member of the fam' to hit the home page! :spinner: Thank you, turnitup! :clapping:
btw, if you missed the ABB on The Tonight Show last week chances are you'll be able to catch it repeated late, late night tonight.
Take care and know that you are loved,

My Buddy Box just turned Blue. What the Hell does that mean?
Oh, Hello everyone! Don't mind me!
:dance:
Amen Turnitup!!! 😎
Hey Folks, haven't posted in a while but I just left a B&P for 10 on the forum for NAPS(Neel, Abts, Porter, Stoltz) This show is actually called the Rocky Mountain Power Jam and is quite good.

Beautifully written Turnitup!...Sounds like the Brothers really did turn it up and turned it on!
I guess the bottom line is: This great collection of players that we're currently enjoying in the ABB really is "A BAND" not just good players that play well together. I've been noticing lots of different sounding jams and different approaches lately to the same great songs which we have been listening to for years. Whether this lineup is your favorite or not...they certainly are the "freshest" and probably willing to take more chances than any other... I for one, happen to like that approach.
You know the old saying: "The whole is greater than the sum of the parts"? Well this certainly applies with this amazing group of musicians...but it sure doesn't hurt when the parts are as good as they are either!
Peace Friends

Nice post, turnitup!
Great post, turnitup...except...Charlie Trucks is destined to be a drummer...and according to Derek, he's got Susan "working on" a bass player for the next time....
Great post Turnitup! Enjoy yourself tonight and please give us another review tomorrow.
Take care,
Ryan
Beacon? Booked? what the hell!
i hope Jacquie is on the case! Sweetie? Jacquie? hello? 🙂
:bounce: :bounce:
my beacon fever started the day after i left this past year.
Had the pleasure to see the Winery and LA Greek so far and SB Bowl
tonite.
The band is at peak form. Gregg's voice sounding so good, singing loud
and clear....the new songs really give Gregg the chance to shine..Desdemona,OLd Before, High Cost etc, I am not used to saying his voice was sounding so good, its really
good to get to say that.
Guitars: as everyone has said...Derek indeed has stepped up to another level since last year when I
saw 3 nites at the Wiltern. He is up front on both his lead work and
rhythm and for sure his NON slide leads have made a huge leap.
You can hear him playing behind Warrens leads and either he is riffin a
bit or playing the chords in a playful and always tastey and appropriate way. Same when Greg is doing a solo or singing..he is adding tastey nuggets of sound adding to the depth and contrast of each song. When it is Dereks turn to play lead..he steps up..is loud and in your
face...like listen to this....he is more aggressive and commanding on
stage, I caught him leading the band often, telling Gregg to take a solo
and looking at Warren and letting him know where he is going.
Could all of us been any more lucky than to have Derek be the other
guitarist in the band. A Miracle.
Warren is my man, he is like the star player who sees his role more of
making this band be the best rather than try to always be the dominant lead
guitarist for the band. He is the ultimate team player, letting Derek go
as long as he wants, slide or straight lead. Then Warren always comes in
and lays the sweetest,most tasty leads one can imagine. Warren is just
soooo good that you have to laugh when he goes off and then keeps going,
till his hand is a whirlwind crescending and taking your head off but
then puttin it back nice and tidy in time for the smooth transition to
the song.
Oteil: I cant imagine a bass player who could fit the Bros like Oteil.
He plays the most amazing bass, with emotions, with power, with grace.
he plays sooo graceful,,, it looks so easy
for him. When Oteil,Warren and Derek are peaking together all you can do
is open your mouth, know at the moment you are watching greatness and
for that 20-40 seconds of madness..your a witness to musical magic ..it is at these moments during the show, all of us connect, wherever we are, cause we do know just how incredible those moments are...these are the moments that keep us driving to the shows,,,missing work...living like a kid, chasing the magic and making new friends from this site.
After 30 years, I get to see this band and enjoy it as much if not more
then ever.
The drums are always keeping it going with syncopated perfection.
My all time favorite song is Liz Reed......oh my..was a.masterpiece at the Greek.
Derek even gave a few opening rythm moments like the preview
Dicky gave us back at the Fillmore. Warren played great respect to the
song. And I remember when they used to do Reed with Dicky and
Warren..and remember how Warren would kill in the song....and he did
again last nite...he ranged from wild wailing to giving the song the
slow,patient lead work it calls for.
Melissa with just Warren on guitar was beautiful..Gregg acoustic,warren
on the Les Paul..doing the pretty leads but tempering restraint which
shows the master he is.
Whipping Post: once again killer leads, respect to Fillmore version
with some of the best leads and moments from that 22 minute miraculous
version. I love this song.....they got awfully mean........
Dreams...Warren blowing it away especially on the last lead , the
slide...
Layla, once again, the spirit of the song is played with respect and the
leads and intensity was tearing the place up.
This is a BAND. a bunch of great players, playing to be a great band,
for each other and for their earnest desire to have the fans feel and be
part of one of the greatest rock n roll bands ever. Dont see any egos on stage.
I see the brotherhood of the brothers expanding.....both on stage and in
the family and in our community.
One thing we all have is the love, the pure love for the music, the
guitars and the Allman Brother family and the ever expanding family
tree....I expect Dereks and Susans kid to strap it on pretty
soon....maybe he will do his first sit in when he is 10.
We got three decades of music,death,changes, highs and lows, we lost
friends, we lost members of the Brothers yet those that remain are
witness to and participants in the Greatest Show on Earth.
love to all my Brothers and Sisters.
Beacon Fever!!! In September??
I have a travel blackout in effect for two weeks minimum after baby #4 is born around March 9th - 11th (somewhere around there, we hope.)
...so I'd have to go only the last weekend in March (if that turns out to be a part of the scheduled run)....so that's my vote for the Hospitality Sweetie Event timing!
Sorry Old Coot you're mistaken. That is just my mower running again.
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ARRRRRRRRGH!!!
