The Allman Brothers Band has always been one of my favorite bands. They have the great songs, the legendary stories, and are one of the greatest live acts in the history of rock and roll.

While the Allman Brothers Band studio albums are sometimes a mixed bag and hit or miss propositions , one of the greatest live albums that came out of the 1970’s is “Live at the Fillmore East”. This legendary double album set captured the essence of the band for all time with the lineup that included the late great Duane Allman (who also played with Eric Clapton for an incredible collaboration in Derek and the Dominos).

Dereck Trucks of the now defunct Allman Brothers Band played with Eric Clapton at the 70th birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden last night.

The road goes on forever

Rock on
