Feeling fortunate to have seen Gregg play with the Allman's a couple times over the years. Once @ the Beacon, and 2x at DTE/Pine Knob, the Shed north of Detroit. ABB always had smoking guitarists, so it was always great to see them.

Carmichael:

Being quite senile, i saw the Allmans in SF in the late 70s, and again throughout the decades. Fine bunch of fellas.

Pine Knob! I grew up in Sterling Heights! Although it was called DTE by the time I could go to shows, haha.

Beautiful start, Jeff. I work for a photo archive and the photographer shot the Allman's and Dead in a jam together in Aug of '72 at The Gaelic Park Sports Centre in the Bronx. I always wondered if that boot was out there. Any idea Jeff?

Oh yeah, been there, too. With that big fighter jet.

Yeah, 73 is by far my favorite year. After seeing the doc today, I really wanted to do all GD but I have a very sick track premiere for later so maybe I'll do the all-GD when its least expected.

Juan:

Hello Mr Conklin, greetings from Baja California again, where a sliver of moon gently lights the hills and island across the bay as it slowly descends into the Pacific horizon, the cats and recent rescue dog lounge peacefully around the place, and I'm carrying a kratom and kava buzz.
And as always while connecting with your show, here I am visualizing how the late night South Manhattan skyline looks like from across the Hudson, and how much I'd love to dig into a Katz pea soup, sandwich and pickles.
In a nutshell, another lovely, mellow Sunday night... holy cow, The Myrrors sound like a spectacular shamanic freakout, flute and bicycle bell in there, to boot!

@tidy: And I'm the biggest 80s/90s GD proponent there is!

Tony Z:

@Erik, I don't understand your dislike of the phrase "southern rock," given Gregg Allman himself was the person who came up with it???
Avatar 1:36am
Erik in MIchigan:

Just seems limiting to what they did
Avatar 1:36am
Jeff Conklin:

@Tony: Because I mentioned it was too limiting and i stand by it. It also denotes some awful shit that came after the Allmans. Gregg called the term "redundant"
Avatar 1:38am
Erik in MIchigan:

And the term got co-opted by shitty bands like Molly Hatchet and 38 special. The ABB was so much bigger than anything that term had to offer.
  1:38am
Tidy666:

I hopped on in the 80s...no disrespect...just nice to see consistency!thank you again for your work!
  1:38am
Tony Z:

I've read interviews with Gregg that said he was fine with it. I think disowning the phrase would be like saying you don't want to use the phrase "psychedelic rock" because of all the shitty psych bands that came later.
  1:39am
Tony Z:

But thanks for explaining. :-)
Avatar 1:40am
Jeff Conklin:

It's ok to not like the phrase, and I'll continue to think its limiting, whoever may have coined it
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:42am
Aitch:

Great stuff Jeff
  1:44am
Tony Z:

Yes, I agree it's limiting, and it's too bad lots of people associate "southern rock" with southern rednecks how like the confederate flag. I like the phrase "southern rock" because it highlights the regional flavor of the Allman's music (both in terms of their influences and actual location). Anyway, I didn't want to debate this. I was just interested in understanding your dislike. Thanks.

I checked out the new self titled Mountain Movers LP, after that track you played last week. Whole thing is great

speaking of that style, Marshall Tucker Band hold a special place in my heart. Perhaps it the flute. Can't be wrong. Heard it in a love song.

@PP, i happened to hear Jonesy and Xray talking shit about the MTB and that flute today...
Catch the last set later, thanks Jeff.
RIP Gregg, he will be missed down here (writing from his last hometown).
