Allman Brothers review, Friday March 23, 2007 Options

[burd]

I saw the Allman Bros two nights ago with my friend who had the presale nightmare with Ticketmaster. After that disaster, they gave him even better seats than he had in the first place! He originally had row 20 on the floor, but ended up with first row seats in the first balcony. There was NOOOOOOOOOTHING in the way of the sound. It just flew up at us!

I didn't recognize any songs lol except a few covers they pulled out. First was The Sky Is Crying (SRV). I didn't know they played that!!!! Even my friend was surprised. I was crying during the whole song. Derek Trucks plays out of Diaz amps (which is what Taylor used to play until the Diaz guy died. Now he keeps the amps in the studio) Diaz was the last name of the guy who built the amps. He designed them when he was SRV's guitar tech. He designed them FOR SRV!!!!! After SRV was killed, this guy started selling the amps. So there I was, no sound obstruction, listening to live SRV thru his amps ... water literally poured out of my face. I wasn't crying like waaaaaaaa *sniff*sniff*, it was more like I was cutting onions (without the smell). I was absolutely stunned. I sat totally still, didn't move, didn't breathe, and had water pouring out of my eyes. THEN maybe 3 songs later (an hour!!! lol) they bust out Manic Depression. With 2 drummers & a percussionist!!!! Holy shit!!!!!!!! Then later again, Derek Trucks wife came out (Susan Tedesci). She sang, "Take a load off Annie. Take a load off your feet. Take a load off Annie. annnnd Annnnd AANNNDDDDDD you put the load right on meeeeeee" ... whatever that song is. I think it's The Band. ??? That was about 10 minutes lol and pretty cool. But I really don't remember anything other than the SRV & Hendrix. Holy crap. HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!
