If Warren Haynes plays, it will sound like D-Wayne is there.

Cat Food Sandwiches: If Warren Haynes plays, it will sound like D-Wayne is there.

If? He damn well better be there!

"We're planning a big one, man, a real big one," founding band member Gregg Allman told Billboard.com. "We're trying to get all the people we know that we've played with to come and sit in and play."

As a big ABB fan, I hope they do this at their annual music festival I attend every year in Florida, Wanee. No better place to do it than your own music festival.

Durrrr, I get it...it's funny because he lost his life at 24. Good stuff! Enjoy your Good Charlotte CDs.

Marla Singer's Laundry: Durrrr, I get it...it's funny because he lost his life at 24. Good stuff! Enjoy your Good Charlotte CDs.

But I hate Good Charlotte.

ABB is still a great band. Warrne and Dereck make a great slide guitar combo.

Yes - let's listen to `Sweet Home Alabama' as it gets no radio play anymore!

/g'damn right I'm being sarcastic

That's Skynerd, or however you spell it...in case you weren't kidding ;)

As long as Jimmy Herring isn't allowed within 100 miles of the band, I'm all for this. He has this amazing ability of ruining every band he's ever been associated with and is now working his magic on Widespread. He is by far the most unoriginal and soulless guitar player out there. Completely unoriginal and robotic. He could learn a lot from Warren.

Damn! You're right! Sorry - I've had an aversion to classic rock radio. I was there when these songs were `new' and I'm tired of listening to them. (I imagine the younger generations are even more fed up with this).

Wait....

I'm dead?

A bunch of us from college went that year to Wanee and a friend of mine who had seen them about 3-4 times before said that ABB played better than he had ever seen before that weekend.

I just bought my tix for ABB and Phil & Friends, so I'm getting a kick...

Don't you blaspheme, boy.

anytime someone is wailing on a les paul, duane is there..

Duane Allman was good,
but he was no Burl Ives.

The pinnacle of Southern rock and one of the best live albums ever recorded.

I've owned this on vinyl, 8-track, cassette, and CD. It never fails to remind me of the first time I heard it with my main man Bobby. And all through my freshman year in kollidge I could walk across campus at just about any time of day and hear it playing through someone's window.

I just saw ABB and Ratdog on Saturday so I'm getting a kick out of your comment
/bought the CD so I'm listening to it right now

I have a WIDE range of musical tastes, but I have to agree...hands down.

If I were to be stranded on a desert island this would be the disc I would want with me.

//Eat a Peach for Peace!!!

I wonder if Dickey is invited?

Wonder if Dickey will show up sober, too.

What about Berry Oakley, is he going to be there? If he can make it, i'll go.

Can they reunite Delaney & Bonnie for the show? That would be impressive.

Marla Singer's Laundry: Durrrr, I get it...it's funny because he lost his life at 24. Good stuff! Enjoy your Good Charlotte CDs.

these 2 things have what to do with each other?

dogdaze: Warrne and Dereck make a great slide guitar combo.

i cant imagine how dickie and duane can possibly be near as good as those 2.

unremarkable asterisk: As long as Jimmy Herring isn't allowed within 100 miles of the band, I'm all for this. He has this amazing ability of ruining every band he's ever been associated with and is now working his magic on Widespread.

i actually sort of agree with this although ive only heard him(post ARU)with ABB and the dead. he was usually badass in ARU and COMPLETELY badass in frogwings, i dont know why he lays back and plays so lame in everything else. he really can be amazing when he wants to be.

Jimmy Herring is incredible and has taken Widespread Panic to new levels

The Deluxe Edition of At The Fillmore is fantastic as it includes Mountain Jam and a few other songs from the Fillmore show. One of the best 25 dollars I have ever spent.

have you ever really listened to duane allman? i'm a fan of haynes and trucks, but what duane could do with a guitar is pretty much unmatched. ask clapton. and i PROMISE it has nothing to do with the fact that we have the same first name.

check out some of the work he did as a side man. there is a great 2-disc anthology set that serves as a "greatest hits" of his different session work.

also, all the awesome guitar work on the derek and the domino's record "layla"? yeah, thats duane allman too.

sorry to go all music nerd/internet tough guy on ya, but duane allman was the MAN!

i have that anthology, and i like it alot. but i find the live allman bros stuff from back then COMPLETELY unlistenable. i dig the songs but i hate the guitar playing. im not at all familiar with derek and the dominos except for layla and bellbottom blues(was that them or just clapton?).

those are both derek and dominos, and allman plays on both of those tunes. all that great noodling behind the fast parts of layla, and the beautiful soaring lead over the piano at the end is duane doing his thing.

as for the older live stuff, some of it is dickey soloing, which is kinda hit or miss, but when duane takes over it can be pretty phenomenal. especially once he got obsessed with kinda blue, and what miles was doing with that modal stuff. it crept into his playing in a really interesting way.

in the end, its all about personal taste, but i feel like allman did a great job taking the blues/rock guitar vocabulary and expanding it to include the other sounds he was hearing. kinda like a southern hick jimi hendrix.

also, the abb stuff can be a bit in-your-face. i feel like he plays with more subtlety on some of those other projects.

dickey wrote some good tunes, and is fun live, but nothing special on the guitar

Duane was only 24 when he died. Just imagine how great he would have been if he died like every other rock legend at 27?

If you're ranking ANYBODY above Duane Allman, you're obviously delusional, and other than this sentence, beneath speaking to.

liquid duane-o: as for the older live stuff, some of it is dickey soloing, which is kinda hit or miss, but when duane takes over it can be pretty phenomenal.

i can tell whos who, i just dont like either of them live. but duane sounds better to me on studio stuff, i guess i need to hear more of him.

CrackedEgg: If you're ranking ANYBODY above Duane Allman, you're obviously delusional, and other than this sentence, beneath speaking to.

the only person i rank above duane is THIS (new window) guy.

...THIS guy Wow. that guy rocks better than anybody. and he jams while floating in outer space!
Totally great.

SkyDog: Wait....

I'm dead?

Skydog lives!!

jimmy herring is great. i saw him play with the dead and he filled in just fine

I was the lead singer of the Sex Pistols and P.I.L, and I'm getting a kick out of the tedious and boring posts.

Ok so Duane and Oakley will be no-shows, what about Allen Woody?

dereksmalls: Ok so Duane and Oakley will be no-shows, what about Allen Woody?

so bad yet so good.

craigdamage: Duane Allman was good,
but he was no Burl Ives.

BX: Dickey Betts reunion??!?!-It would be nice, but doubtful, I think. The man was the heir to Duane, and he seemed to have farked that up after twenty-some years. Not bad, but doubtful.

amoricanCrowe: MARC F***KIN' FORD!-Now, that, my friends, would be fun to see.

Client No. 9

What about Berry Oakley, is he going to be there? If he can make it, i'll go.

lamar williams would also be nice..
