That’s another great story. Did you ever think that band would become as iconic as they are remembered now?
It’s hard to tell, but probably not. I was a HUGE fan from their debut album “The Allman Brothers Band” which was released November 4, 1969 (I was a freshman in the Fall of ‘69). We got some big acts (Beach Boys, Three Dog Night [I think]) and when we had the Allman Brothers a couple years after their debut, they were already HUGELY popular.
