Title: R.I.P. Gregg Allman
Post by: PolarBear on May 27, 2017, 01:53:27 PM: R.I.P. Gregg Allman!! He was truly one of the best and my personal favorite vocalists. One of my fondest memories was taking my Dad to the Allman Brothers Band at the Paramount Theater. An "evening" with the band wound up being 7 hours of awesome music that never got boring. Even my Dad was having the time of his life and that's saying something. I met him twice and he was always very nice and acted like he had known you for years. Sad day.

Great vocalist, great Band.
I saw him a couple years ago at the Gorge.
They played with The Dead and the Doobie Brothers.
Great show.

And she used to wear a burlap sack over her head

:chuckle: Say what???

I love Tom Hanks story from Lettermens last show on NBC where he explained being a bellhop in a SF hotel and delivering a bag to Cher and Gregs room, ..."I immediatly started to call my girlfriend toots....and I also started to experiment with heroin"

Yep. Butch died not too long ago so all that is left of the originals is Jaimoe and Dickey.
