623.0. "The Allman Brothers BAnd" by AWATS::WESTERVELT () Wed Mar 30 1994 14:50

    No Allman Bros topic?  We'll fix that.

    Anybody besides me catch the Orpheum show last night?  I was
    fortunate enough to sit only 12 rows back... front and center.

    Never saw them before, but it was terrific.  Actually, it's
    hard for me to imagine these boys having a bad night.  They
    really know how to cook a fine guitar stew.

    For those who care, the band will be back to play Great Woods
    in August.

    Also, there's a new album due.

623.1MSDOA::PWHEELERGet Yer Ya Yas OutWed Mar 30 1994 15:3712
    
     Last summer they played here in Knoxville Tenn., without
    Dickie Betts, who was in alchohol dryout at the time. In
    last weeks paper someone with the band was quoted as saying
    he has replaced alchohol dependancy with Zen Buddhism. Wow.
    
     From what I heard on the radio it sounds like if you want
    to hear them having a bad night, buy the live release they
    put out last year. The few songs I heard didn't sound too
    good, and I love the Allman Bros.

    That must be the live show at the Orpheum, I haven't heard it.
    
    The live video release from Great Woods is a good one, tho, in
    my opinion.

    The thing that impressed me in person was what a good guitarist
    Warren Haynes is, and how much the band relies on him.  

    Maybe Dickie and Rick Wakeman should get together, I wonder if
    they'd have anything in common  
623.3A touch of OzzieSTRATA::BERNIERThu Mar 31 1994 13:299
    
    
    	I saw them last Summer at GW (For the 4th time).  It was
    	disappointing to say the least.  Dickie was arrested the day before
    	in Florida and Zach Wild was filling in.  It was interesting but 
    	as a guitarist for Ozzie, it didn't quite fit.  Playing it behind
    	his head was just a little too much.

    So is Dickie back and Warren still in?  I'd love to see those two
    together!

623.7AWATS::WESTERVELTThu Apr 21 1994 20:266
    New Allman Brothers Band album due May 3, called "Where It All
    Begins" (I think).

    Also, they play Great Woods August 13/14 as part of the HORDE
    Festival.  
623.8Can't wait for the new releaseODIXIE::BRANCOLINITue Apr 26 1994 15:166
    Heard the same song played from the new CD, as what was played on Conan 
    O'brian on Peach Jam, this past Sunday night. I liked the live version
    better, and usually the "brothers" play it live better anyway (IMHO).
    
    I just received the entire tour schedule along with an opportunity to
    purchase a special release CD.
623.9C Leavell's new group?NAVY5::SDANDREATonya Rodham Bobbit; the date from hellMon May 09 1994 16:576
    I just heard a new tune called "Hard Act to Follow".  The jock says the
    keyboard player is former Allman Brother Chuck Leavell (sp).  I did not
    catch the name of the group, but I loved the tune! Anybody got the
    skinny on these guys?  Is it s new group?  Any other noteable members?

623.10Wipe the window, check the oil, dollars gas, great Allman's LPSLOHAN::FIELDSStrange BrewMon May 09 1994 17:058
    Steve, it might be just that easy, the Chuck Leavell Band....to check
    out some earlier stuff by Chuck (before the Allmans), look for Sea Level 
    LPs....on the news tune, I remember seeing something on Entertainment
    Tonite, a feature on Chuck at home and stuff...I don't remember
    anything about a band, so Im guessing its going under his name.
    this guy has played keys for Clapton,Allmans,Stones just to name a few.

623.11obvious look to the obvious, eh?NAVY5::SDANDREATazmanian PersonMon May 09 1994 17:075

    window!

623.12SLOHAN::FIELDSStrange BrewMon May 09 1994 17:2214
    the only other thing to do is call the radio station....I heard a few
    new Allamns tunes over the weekend, the one I like has a Hand Jive beat
    to it...
    
    1st time I saw Chuck, Sea level opened for Charlie Daniels back in the
    late 70s....so after racking a few brain cells around Im not sure what
    came 1st Sea Level or the time he was in the Allmans...I do know he
    join the Allmans after Duane died....if I could remember when the
    Allmans lp I mentioned in the last note came out I could pin point it
    :')
    
    I glad to see him do some solo (if thats what it is) work....hes all
    over the Clapton unplugged, and 5 yrs ago toured with the stones. I'd
    bet hes the most unknown known keyboard play in the world !
623.13And what a player!NWACES::HICKERNELLGood rhythms to bad rubbishMon May 09 1994 17:345
    I think Leavell joined the Allman's for the Brothers and Sisters LP
    (the one with "Jessica" on it), maybe around 1973-4.  Dunno when he
    left, though.
