We were out in the country with no wifi when I got the news.....I poured a tall fruit jar glass filled with ice with some Four Roses Bourbon and placed it in the freezer for about 45 minutes...Grabbed a little Coca Cola bottle, the smart phone and the chilled Bourbon on the rocks and headed back to the tub...Settled in as the sun was setting...I pulled up Whipping Post from live at the Filmore, hit play and tipped my glass to the setting sun...

God Bless You Greg and may you rest in peace.....

Dang, I just saw this. Very sad, love the ABB. RIP Greg.

I have immersed myself in live recordings from the original six since this happened. There's a lot out there although, in many cases, the sound quality is lacking. Prior to this happening the only CD I still had was the original Fillmore East. I'm not sure how I let that happen but it won't happen again.

Charlie Daniels just posted this on Twitter and I thought I would share.....

Six hours and I’m first to reply? Wow, this sucks. Jammin’ With Tom Petty now.

We’re going to Florida in November, and staying the first night of the trip in Macon, GA. I would advise anybody that has even a passing interest in the ABB to take a trip to Macon. We have been to rose hill cemetery several times, it’s where Duane, Berry, and now Gregg, are buried, and it was also the place that inspired several early ABB songs. It’s an amazing place to see, and there are many other cool places around town that are closely tied to the band.

I've seen the Allman's live more times than I should probably admit.

Gregg's voice is the siundtrack to many very happy times in my life.

Me too, so many great times.
