It’s a good story. Too many drugs in that world in the 70s. Much temptation for these great musicians. They were great and they were very young there.

It shows their friendly side. The picture on the back is of the roadies.

The tragedy of the Allman Brothers is what could have been.

Pretty much were done after 1973, they could have rivaled any band if they had kept the original lineup intact.

Butch couldn't support himself without the Allman Brothers band. I think it is one of the reasons he killed himself. He was really a good drummer. It was hard to see it because there were Two drummers in that band.

They were still amazing band with likes of Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes playing guitars. Once Greg Allman finally got sober they put on some amazing shows until just a few years ago.

One of the best albums of all time.

That was the first record album I bought at age 13, 14 or so, branching out from my collection of 45’s. Looking back, unusual choice for a girl.
