VIREN WAS THE BEST AT THAT TIME AND HE KNEW HOW TO PEAK AT THE RIGHT TIME. HE RAN ABOUT 200 KM PER WEEK IN TRAINING TRAINING 3 X PER DAY USUALLY. HE DESERVED ALL THE GOD MEDALS HE EARNED THEM.

The original band was the best band ever assembled in many years at that time in 1971. They were the tightest instrumental group around. Bill Graham was right when he said,"we'll round it off with the best of them all, the Allman Brothers". The Seven turns album in 1990 was awesome. The ABB w...

Great memories of the past. Never forget the good times and all the competition. Stan (the man) Plolski, Sammy Beavers, Al Tasnady, Oliver Butler, Billy Osmun, Ken Brenn Jr. Chip Slokum, Kenny Albright and many more.

Dickey will always be a Allman Brother for ever amen. I don't care if they don't speak or hang out anymore. I think Dickey should be back playin' with the Brothers. It's where he belongs. He seems lost at times because I know he thinks about the ABB. How could he not? He was with them for o...

I grew up with Jamaican people in my home town of Montclair N.J. I Can't say enough good things about the women...........the men are for shit-------not all I should say but most Jamaican men are senseless, narrow minded and have no class. But the women are a class above. Try talking sense int...

I agree that the best lineup for the ABB was the original band no doubt. Duane was miles ahead of everybody as far as intonation, overtones and raw talent. He played notes that out his gibson that I never heard before. He was a real genious. He coaxed those gorgeous sounds out of his guitar b...

Jimmy Hendrix was eclectic at the time and created a dynamic sound. Duane was just as talented but played different that's all. Duane was into jazz, that's all the ABB listened to for years during Duane's tenure with the band. They didn't listen to rock when they were home in Macon. Miles Dav...

I saw George at Avery Fisher Hall in 1977 playing this album. Unreal and will never be duplicated. George was never psychodelic.........but pure jazz.

The Allman Brothers Band in '70 '71 was the premiere rock/blues instrumental group of their era. Their style will never be duplicated or matched by anyone----they were extreamly unique. They created a looping style only matched by some jazz greats like Miles Davis/John Coltrane. During their j...

Jimmy Johnson from the Muscle Shoals days taught Duane how to play slide with his gibson tuned to an E cord. Before that, ole Duane played slide in open tunings. It opened a whole new demension for Duane. Dreams is a perfect vehicle for Duane's flamming slide playing. I think y'all should lis...

Incredible bunch of cats eh!!!! The ABB was sent to us by the ole mighty one and bestowed upon us the blues, rock, jazz, fusion riffs of a lifetime. Of course Gregg's vocals are equaled by no one. He is the white blues master of all time. The old band (original band) did it for me man. When ...

Dickey Betts was a major part of the ABB. Listen to most of their expansive songs like Whipping Post, or Elizabeth Reed. Dickey quarter backs most of the jams on at Fillmore East. When the band falls out, Dickey was the one who kept the flow moving forward. Listen to "You Don't Love Me" on th...
