Gregg Allman .......I cannot believe it has been 5 years.

…….Gregg had his demons no doubting that but ; '' bdp24 '' as one of the premier the concert historians on this site ; have you ever seen the Allmans Brothers or Gregg live '' ? Please let us know that story …..

Good morning Audiogoners …...johndel1960 then you get it ! Sure everyone knows he had is demons, but on stage there were times it was just magic. It is too bad that sometimes those demons are how people remember some of these artists. I tis too bad as I also followed the Grateful Dead around since the seventies until Jerry died. What a shame as he too was such a talented artist who gave me at least years of musical fun and pleasure but I try not to think of his demons. I could tell as I saw them both enough that when Jerry was '' using '' and Gregg was drunk and to be honest, got ticked off as they really weren't there. It is what it is …...but Gregg was one of those for me who could really sing '' those blues '' …...dam I miss it live ! Stay well all..... **** also - music _is _ life …...not sure what ; " Bzzzzzzzzz Government Mule '' means. I have see them but not sure what it means to my post. Thanks though …..

Thanks pehare - and your response was dead spot on. No doubt he had his demons but the musical memories I have of him as well as the Allman Brothers will stay with me for the rest of life. I too had some really great times seeing him and as I noted were the backdrop of my life musically as I get older. There were a bunch of times that I missed him or the ( original ) Grateful Dead when they were on tour and came by which was all the time it seemed back then as I was married, had a career and had responsibilities but believe you me I caught them both a lot. I will listen to Gregg's version of the Beatles ; '' Rain '' as I do not recall that or have listened to that in a long time. Thank you again.
