That's why "See 'em while you can" is my mantra. Glad I got to see him several times, most with ABB, but his last album, Low Country Blues in 2011, was great and he sounded good touring behind it.Very sad. Gave us a lot of enjoyment. First concert I ever went to was the Greg Allman Band in Hartford.
Wow. Unfortunately I never saw them with Duane. My first show was 1979 at New Haven coliseum. I was 15 and my uncle took me. It was nuts. Bob Welch warmed them up and he was booed off the stage. I'll never forget it.....The Dead and The Allman Brothers - it don't get better than that
Was my first concert in 1971 - got to see Gregg and Duane 5 times before Duane died
Saw the band and Greggs band probably 12 times
His last solo live album is one of my favorites- Queen of Hearts melts my heart
RIP Gregg - always in my heart
RIP Some great music:
I've been playing Allman Brothers Band tunes since I heard. Still holds up.
Been a tough year Col Bruce, Chris Cornell, now Greg. So many things to reminisce on. Many concerts, parties, road trips jamming to ABB. Really got into them after moving south after college 20 years ago. His music will live on forever and the torch passes on. RIP Greg, your music will continue to give us all new memories.

Bob Welch was old Fleetwood Mac, really good stuff.Wow. Unfortunately I never saw them with Duane. My first show was 1979 at New Haven coliseum. I was 15 and my uncle took me. It was nuts. Bob Welch warmed them up and he was booed off the stage. I'll never forget it.....
One of my 8 track boxes in the car was full of ABB and Deep Purple alone. Like you said, road trips - drives to the beaches, t-tops off and the Blaupunkt hollering "Whipping Post"? Really hard to forget those days. Losing Gregg is really a hard hitter, more than most.
I still have an 8 track player, Mau. It has never been used. I was visiting my father in the hospital in Hartford and my 8 track was stolen out of my car in broad daylight during my junior year at UConn. I shouldn't encourage Deepster with this type of negativity regarding Hartford. The really incredible thing about it is that anyone once considered them valuable enough to steal out of a car.
The insurance co. paid to replace it, I bought a new one, but never installed it. If I were to dig deep enough, I may even have a handful of old 8 track tapes to play on it.
RIP, Gregg. You were a true master.
