greg allman - hospice (1 Viewer)

So people would get angry and tell me there is no way I could have not heard of him.  To be fair, I originally quoted someone else who had no idea who he was and agreed.

Good opp (appears you are somewhat taking) to learn about one of the great American bands...

I would probably recognize an Allman Brothers song if I heard it but would have no clue who sung it.  Allman Brothers are a hippie band?  I remember growing up when the Greatful Dead had a concert at Autzen Stadium and our neighborhood was flooded with all these hippies with tie die shirts.  That was very annoying.  I lived very close to Autzen growing up.

Not a hippie band. Southern rock. Let me help you out. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DhIRBLUh3MGM&ved=0ahUKEwiQ9Km5p8DTAhXLv1QKHajqCmsQt9IBCFwwCw&usg=AFQjCNFyrmKUE_Gc7-DJuTQJYXCTIlL7-A&sig2=zPTv4T-5n60j1R48biRupg

 
I have had the pleasure of seeing Gregg solo and with the Allman brothers at least 15 times. :thumbup:   The last time I saw him was last summer when he sat in with Tedeschi Trucks for One Way Out.  It was obvious he was not anywhere near full strength and he cancelled a string of shows after that.  Thanks for all the memories and hope you recover to take the stage again.

I have a friend who is a huge dead fan and used to follow them across the country.

They may look similiar to the conservative eye but they do not like being called hippies. They call themselves deadheads and don't identify with the hippie movement

 
If you are over 30 and lived in the US your whole life anywhere with the exception of a Mormon enclave in Utah or some other religious cult it is shocking that you have never heard of the Allman brothers.

Assuming you are white.

if not then it's not shocking in the least

I am a Mormon from Utah and I know who the Allman Brothers are

Yes, like all bands that emerged from the late 60s/early 70s, they could be thrown into the category of 'hippie band',

Beg to differ, my translucent friend.

 The Allmans were the furthest thing from a hippie band as was possible at the time.

Maybe Bobby Sherman was more an outlier, but only him.

They had a ton of crossover appeal with the deadheads. I have heard them tease dead songs in jams before. St. Stephen for one.

i was there.

 
I'm seeing reports that he has died.

My favorite musical performer. I saw ABB a couple of times and was lucky enough to see Gregg in a solo show last summer.

 
My FIL followed them around in the 70s.  Favorite band by far.  I sent him a text to express my condolences thinking he knew.  He didn't.  He was fishing.  ####.

Said he'd be in mourning for 6 weeks.
