i was trying to look for a ticket for tonight but they are up to $400/500 ; what a setlist

[Jaimoe]

I have mixed feelings about the Allmans and friends Beacon shows. I love that the Brothers are getting interesting guests, but they never can replace Dickey. If he walked on stage and sat in for a set or two, nothing would top it. You can't replace an original with great substitutes.  

On an aside, the best performace - at least on paper since I wasn't there - was when members of Cowboy joined in and played their classic "Please Be With Me." If you know your Allman Brothers history, then you'll know that Duane played on the songs - two versions, one released only on Duane Allman Anthology Vol. I. "Please Be With Me" at the Beacon was the first time the Allmans ever played the tune and for me, the song is one of the most beautiful folk-country ballads ever written (specifically the unreleased acoustic version on Duane Vol. I).

Here is the unreleased original acoustic version featuring Duane doing some of his best slide work. Ignore the silly video slide show and crank the music track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaDPx6mWwp0

Me too...great show.  Billy Gibbons from ZZ top played last night and Warren and Derek wore beards..awesome.

Yes..I heard about BG. If you look in the pic I posted above I think thats BG sitting on stage slightly to the right and above EC.
I hope they were video taping these.

All this Allman bros EC BG talk makes me not want to pass up the Allmans  out here in Oakland at the newly made over and opened Fox theatre May 12 and 13

I KNOW! I'd be just as excited to see the Allmans as I would be to see the reborn Fox! That stretch of Telegraph through Oakland has been dying for restoration for a long time, and that theatre is a great first step. Mid-week shows down in the Bay Area aren't happening these days though  ;D  

Have you ever been to the Paramount Theatre ET? That place is spectacular. :o If Oaksterdam can ever gain some legitimacy, downtown Oakland would be rockin'!

[bold99]

what sucks is a regular show is going to seem like a letdown after this run but an Allman's show is always a good time either way.  I plan on seeing them at some point.

Never have been to Oakland's Paramount.. or Oaksterdam
Those weeknight bay area shows are kind of a bitch sometimes
