This sucks. Gregg Allman was one of the great blues singers of his time.
The Allman Brothers may be one of the most tragic bands in history. Duane Allman dies in a motorcycle accident. The next year, Berry Oakley dies in a motorcylce accident one block away from where Duane crashed and died. Lamar Williams, the bassist who replaced Oakley, died of lung cancer from Agent Orange. Earlier this year, Butch Trucks committed suicide. And now this. Awful.
As great of a live band as I have ever seen. One of my favorite stories to hear was when the band was playing the run of shows at the Fillmore East that spawned the classic Live at the Fillmore East album. One of the nights, the band launched into an extended version of Mountain Jam. They played so long, and so many encores, that when the show ended, and the doors of the Fillmore opened, the sun was coming up.
RIP to one of the all time greats.
