I was lucky enough to see the Allman Brothers a couple of months before Duane died. He blew me away totally. I still get chills when I think about how good that concert was. Ot was at the end of the tour that produced the Live at the Fillmore album. I was hooked and went on to see every iteration of the band. But nothing wil ever touch that first concert. Weiting this makes me amile with my memory.
What is your most fond musical memory.
One that makes you yearn for the ‘good old days.’
Mine took place in 1970. My grandparents were going on a world tour and I had their whole house to myself for 2 months. Alone at last!. I was 16. First thing I did was set up my audio system. Then I turned down the lights and put on the just released Grand Funk “Closer to Home’ album. I thought I was in heaven when ‘I’m your Captain’ came on. 10 minutes of Pure Bliss. To this day I get the tingles whenever I play that song.
