No doubt one of my favorite bands...no one played slide like he did...

No one else used a glass pill bottle on the strings!
Anyone who is an Allman Bros. fan should read a book called,"Midnight Rider". It is a very close account to how things really were, the good and the bad. Gregg, Butch, and the others were livid when it came out.
An interesting bit of trivia, guess how much the insurance company (company truck involved in wreck)paid Dwayne's estate for his death?
Remember this was 1970. The company truck btw was Sam Hall Construction, they are still in business today.


The grand sum of $21,000
His Harley sportser sat at the local Harley shop for years and was robbed of parts until they threw it away.
Sorry to steal thread.

I ached for the music from the past recently.
I was ecstatic to find a Box full of 8TK tapes at a swapmeet recently.The good stuff like CCR,3DN,BTO & Especially ABB.This may just be me,but their music sounds more authentic to me on the 8TK tape format,then on the current released and cleaned up CDS.

Oh Yes Rick... All cds are digitally remastered. Computers do everything these days.
The ABB have these new releases called Instant Live CDs. They are quite costly but you can get any show from the recent tour. Anyone look into these?

Since it's music and your car is Mosport Green, all I can offer you is an old record called 'The Sounds of Mosport'. . It's a 60's live recording of cars racing at the Mosport track. . Also Music and Mosport related, you may be able to come up w/ some live recordings of Woodstock style music festivals at Mosport like 'Strawberry Fields' 1970? Canada Jam 77? . Good luck!

There is another thread about xm here now. I have found it to be the best mix of music yet. I always have mine tuned to channel 7 which is the 70's music. They have enough varity that you hardly ever hear the same tune twice in a week. Of course the more seasoned members might get into the 50's, 60's or even 40's stuff. you yuoungs can have the 80's and 90's.LOL
Dan, I bought the live cd at the last ABB concert in Knoxville. It was ok, but nothing to write home about. Could have been the venue, but nothing like "An Evening with the ABB" which was recorded live in Macon in 90 or 91. I was there all three or four nights, getting old, can not remember just how many it took to get it right.
Quick story, I was working security at the back door one of the nights. A police got into a arguement with a guy in a 74 Ford panel van. I walked over to see what the deal was. The cop said, "Oh, it's nothing, just some damn hippy trying to park back here." I look in the van, and it is Warren H. The concert is waiting on him to start, he is stoned, and the cop is making him back out of the parking lot. Thank goodness I knew who he was.....

As I mentioned before, I have a box of vinyl albums in my basement gathering dust, willing to sell. All in VG condition.
Included in the collection are:
ABB/Live at the Fillmore, BTO, ELP, Yes, Doors, Jethro Tull, Steve Miller, Leon Russel, Jeff Beck, Hendrix, Zep, J. Geils Live (REC. IN DET. ) and a few others.
Send me a PM.

I bet the other cop did not realize who he was yelling at... Warren Haynes can play the 6-string like a saint... Good Ole

I had the pleasure of seeing Warren Haynes with the Dave Matthews Band at Central Park in 9/2003. They covered Neil Young's song Cortez the Killer... Ring a bell anyone?? Warren had a 2-3 guitar solo. The show was well worth the free ticket!

How many of us here are musicians?...not too long ago a friend of mine found an old recording we did messing around back around 1983 and put it on the Southern Rock internet charts and it flew into the top 10 and finally topped out at 5...A label actually wanted to sign us until they found out we were 20 years older than they thought Where were they 20 years ago!

Bill,
I like channel 46 (Top Tracks) and 40 (Deep Tracks) too for 70's music. For me hearing a long-forgotten song always brings back memories...puts me in a great mood to work on the car too!

Savoy Brown, Humble Pie, Marshall Tucker, Rory Gallagher, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Mountain.....
