Saw the Gregg Allman band last night.

Yes, I've seen him and his band a few times as well. I always liked his solo albums better than most Allman's albums. Used to see him at his annual New Year's Eve show at the Roxy in Atlanta. I heard he stopped doing that show but I moved away from Atl about 5 years ago. Is Dan Toler playing with him now? Last time I saw him and its probably been 10 years ago, he had Dan and Jeff Carlisi on guitar. Through a fluke of sorts my wife and I had our pick of any pair of seats in the place.

Laid Back is good of course but from 1973 I belive. I'm no Angel is classic Greg. Personally I like Just Before the Bullets Fly best. It's a tad over-produced (80's style) but the songwriting is strong and Dan's guitar work is fabulous. That album is one of those rare not-a-bsd-track on it ones you run across every several years.

Speaking of Fillmore, go to youtube and watch three videos of Dreams 1) Fillmore era (PBS special) with Duane 2) later 70s version with Dickey playing lead and 3) recent version with Derek. I'd be interested in hearing comments on the differences.

I like them in order listed. Duane surely played with the most soul. Then Dickey's version played in his own inimitable style (bending the strings, etc.) Lastly Derek's pyrotechnics.
