Gregg Allman, Duane Allman and Berry Oakley, 1971.

we got armadillos in our trousers...

Far out man

#2 It's really quite frightening.

guy seated. "Gee your butt looks great," Middle guy,

"how do my traps look, im doing alot of shrugs?" Guitar guy "Shut up you two I cant hear the freakin guitar"!

Two on the right....dead....bike accidents.

one on the left......sometimes dead, sometimes very alive.

Source of pic and place taken. Just curious, I'm from Macon.

Great picture, and I thought I had seen them all!!

#7, Riverdog,

Just a guess, but I recall seeing Duane wearing the same shirt on the Layla album, which I believe was from Santa Monica, Calif.

...but of course, I don't recall the involvement of Duane's brother or Oakley in Clapton's album.

But at least it may i.d. the timeframe

#7

October 16th, 1971, inside of two weeks before Duane's death on Oct. 29th. Gregg Allman, Duane Allman, & Berry Oakley above. Duane and Berry died in separate motorcycle accidents-- Duane in 1971 and Berry in 1972.

Poor Duane... He ate a Peach (truck that is)...

This was one of the great bands and you won't find a lot of folks to disagree.

PT 🙂

Thanks everyone. That was a pretty cool time to be alive and young in Macon, Georgia. Still remember the crushing feeling when I heard of Duane's death. All of the band members were quite open and accessible in those early days and very much a part of the "community". And while it would have been ultimately more poetic, I'm pretty sure it was a crane and not a peach truck. On the other hand my memory of those days isn't necessarily completely crystal clear.{:-)

Like Jimi Hendrix, it would've been amazing to see where Duane took his music.

He died way too early.

I think my mom has some drapes made out of the same material as Greg's shirt.

Saw the Allman Brothers in August...Widespread Panic was the opening band...but that is beside the point.

Greg's singing was better than it was the last few times that I saw them. I also feel that the addition of Derek Trucks makes this line-up amazing. Duane, I feel, would be proud and amazed with the guitar work that Derek and Warren execute.

If "The Brothers" play somewhere in your area and you are a fan of great guitar playing, you should go see them. I don't think you will be disappointed.

...and if you are a blues fan and do not own any Derek Trucks Band cd's....get on the ball, you are missing out!

so Warren Haynes is now doing dual duty as guitarist for Dead and Allman's?
