Most of them gone now. That concert at Fillmore East is one of the greatest I know. Skydog has been gone so long now. Wonder what he would have matured into.

Another big loss. It seems everyone is dying!

Ya! He kinda gave everyone a little heads up when he put out a press release a few weeks back saying something like he's in good spirits and grateful for all love he's receiving from his HOSPICE room!
You seldom walk out the front door after checking into one of those.

Always loved midnight rider and that " hello Mr. Bluebird" song

Sometimes when I used to get on a whiskey binge in public, I'd go to this one bar and drop about $10 in the juke box and play " tied to the whipping post" continually ,,,,the bar tender would unplug it after she couldn't stand to hear it another time,,,
( it was a pretty cool bar ,LEE MARVIN used to drink in there,,no joke.)

Always liked his voice. Went to see him in concert many years ago at 6 Flags in Arlington of all places. Still had the pipes.

Guess he'll be finding out if he was right with the whole "I'm no angel" idea. (Too soon?)

Psst.. you're right. Don't tell anyone but everyone is.

Yeah. That was very telling. I wondered at the time...how long he had.

I know!

No! He didn't talk to anybody ,he'd drive some old late 60's p.o.s. ranch pickup truck, dress like any other desert rat , sit at the end of the bar and drink whiskey, he didn't want any attention or put up with it either.

God bless him. My kinda guy.

Rest in peace, Midnight Rider.

I think most of the public knows the Allman Brothers via "Ramblin Man", but they were always more "Midnight Rider", "One Way Out" , or even "Elizabeth Reed" to me.

As I was looking back at the Allman Brothers' music, I was struck by the fact that there were so many powerful singing voices in rock music in the early 70's. In addition to Allman, you had Jagger, Plant, Tyler, Paul Rogers, Joe Cocker, Bob Seger (Heavy Music/Ramblin Gamblin Man), Steve Marriot (30 Days in the Hole, I Don't Need No Doctor), and even Janis Joplin. The music was diverse and original. It was a good time to be growing up.
