Duane And Gregg
This is an addition to your discography. The album is entitled Duane and Gregg. It is an early Polydor release. The album cover features the same likenesses as on Idlewild South (white outline drawings of Duane and Greggs faces on a black background) The sound quality of this record is actually quite poor but it […]
Discography
Hi, I see that the IRSA benefit album (6/11/92) seems to be missing from the above; a very fine album indeed! Also a couple of European and Antipodean collections and compilations: Madness of the West; All Live; The Best of the Allman Brothers Live. All the best, and keep up the good work, Bob (from […]

Allman Brothers Better Than Ever
By: Ralph Berrier Jr. The Roanoke Times Really, the Allman Brothers shouldn’t still be this good. The band hasn’t even been a brother act since 1971. Duane Allman died 31 years ago.

The ABB’s a Fire-breathen’, 7-headed, Rock & Roll Monster
By: Ron Everhart mmm…before I go to bed, I decided to drop back by and say that last night (Salem, VA, 9/18/02), we got the Derek Dreams. As much as I love that tune and as many times as I’ve heard it live & on tape, I couldn’t say I’ve ever heard a more muscular, […]
The Allman Brothers Band is Only Getting Better With Age
By: Jim Zahner Savannah Morning News Seeing an Allman Brothers show is a lot like seeing the past come to life. Songs that were written and performed more than 30 years ago still have the same energy and distinct sound that made the band famous. Sure, Duane Allman and Berry Oakley, two original band members, […]
It’s Still a Family Celebration
By: Thom Smith Palm Beach Post The Allman Brothers Band has always been about family. From the communal Big House during the pre-fame days in Macon, Ga., to the present of comfortable living and noodling grandchildren, good times and bad, death and divorce, the family has persevered… and thrived. “I’m having a (expletive) ball,” drummer […]
West Palm Beach show, 9/13/02
NEW-LOOK ALLMANS SOUND STILL REIGNS Palm Beach Post 9/15/02 By BILL MEREDITH Jam bands are the music industry’s current rage, even if most are only non-jazz groups that improvise (often because they can’t compose decent music). But 30 years before the term existed, the Allman Brothers Band was pushing the improv envelope – plus composing […]
