I am w/ Garebear on this one. I saw the Gregg Allman Band in January '10 this year. I was just able to enjoy them more
than my last couple of ABB concerts from recent years.

Allman Bros concert
Just attended the Allman Bros concert in Philadelphia at the Tower Theater Thursday evening. It was Gregg Allman's first live performance since his successful liver transplant back in June. Looked understanbaly thinner and was walking around a bit more gingerly but his voice is still that same signature "GA" voice. Band was tight and oh so good. Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes on guitars were phenomonal. Otiel Burbridge on 4 and 6 string electric bass (I play a 5 string) was outstanding as usual. Percussion and drums were fabulous.
I was just a little disappointed that Gregg didn't speak with the audience more just getting back to touring on their first night. Just a few hellos and thanks. Perhaps he wasn't up to it and needed to focus on his playing considering what he's been through. Anyone else attend by any chance on this forum?
