Allman Brothers reunion

[BikerDude]

Yup.
Looks like we may have them back for 2017.
And the biggest news is it might include Dickie Betts.
Gregg never really committed to a "never again" and he's been floating the idea to key players.
A band that you just can't kill.

That said, if you perform in public, that would probably make a lot of people happy.

If it comes to pass that the Allman Brothers reform for old time’s sake, it won’t be for a night. It’ll be for a whole damn tour of major cities. And if I play with Dickey again, it will be for more than one night. It will be to play in front of all the people who we always played in front of.

So it would be with [drummers] Butch Trucks and Jaimoe?

I would imagine so, yes. But we’re talking about something that you shouldn’t even think about happening before 2017.

I know [bassist] Oteil Burbridge may be busy for a while as well; he’s playing bass for the Dead and Company at their upcoming shows.

I haven’t spoken to him, but I’ve been hearing a lot of really great stuff about him. He’s a fine bass player, and I wish him all the luck in the world. I’m sure he will bring that band up a step or two. I’ve always admired the Grateful Dead… but I admire the Allman Brothers more

I hope that you and Dickey get back together, even if you just play in a room with no audience.

I think that you can probably count on it, bro.

Gregg Allman has had health issues since July........he may not ever get back to touring......or a reunion......unless it's a one-off deal.

 

[Sharp Dressed Man]

As long as they don't come across the pond or release a new album, I guess a reunion wouldn't make a huge difference. Still, would be great to see them back together. We'll see... I don't read too much into rumous.

Saw Gregg last year, I heard he has cancellled some dates, sounds like he is unwell. Would love to see a reunion but would cost a small fortune as per usual.
