Saw the Allman Bros band in the New Orleans Superdome in August of 1975. First weekend events were ever held there. Crowd of 100,000 (Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels and others also played.)

I met Greg when we were staying on Santa Monica Blvd when my band was playing LA (76). I was outside near the Coke machine when a green Vette came screaming up. He got out, long blonde hair, and was so wasted he couldn’t put a quarter in the pop machine.

I said “ Let me help you,” got him a soda. He said, “Aw thanks, man” ... then went upstairs to meet CSNY drummer Dallas Taylor. I was told they were doing heroin, but didn’t check & never saw him again until the next month The Allman Bros were playing Cincy & they got us back stage passes.
