1976: The Allman Brothers Band dissolved for the first time after a tense US tour that culminated in Gregg Allman’s court testimony against the band’s road manager, Scooter Herring, who had been convicted of distributing cocaine, after which the band refused to communicate with Allman. Chuck Leavell, Lamar Williams, and Jai Johanny “Jaimoe” Johanson continued playing together in Sea Level, Dickey Betts formed Great Southern, and Gregg Allman founded the Gregg Allman Band. The band reunited at the end of 1978 to begin recording their reunion album, Enlightened Rogues.
