No, but seeing them close out their tour with Widespread Panic in the Woodlands with everyone on stage playing Revival a few years back was pretty cool.

Specifically when Duane was still alive.
Yes. In Lafayette. An absolutely amazing show.
Also sat in the front row for Jimi Hendrix in Shreveport.

Many times before and after at The Warehouse in New Orleans. Great times, very laid back and great great music.

I managed to download one of the shows from '71 there. Think it's September 16th. Killer version of Blue Sky and Midnight Rider.

Saw them at the Superdome, about 1975. Wet Willie, Marshall Tucker Band, ABB. Gregg had his left arm in a cast.
Was there! You left out Charlie Daniels. I felt Wet Wille stole the show.

That and the Stonybrook show a few days later are the only ones I can recall.
The Stonybrook Blue Sky is one of the best collection of sounds ever recorded. Both Duane and Dickey's solos are transcendent.

The Blue Sky from Stoneybrook is played in rotation on Sirius Jam_On channel...

There are a few bars where I have zero fricking clue what Duane is doing. Although I'm not very technically proficient, I have a decent ear and can at least grasp what a guitarist is doing. Some of the sounds he makes are just crazy. Like some weird three string power chords, I don't really know.

I love the mid way point when you can hear dicky and Duane switch lead.

Blue Sky, Dreams, Liz Reed, and You Don't Love Me are all phenomenal from that show. There's a small part of the jam section of YDLM where Duane starts off on a little riff and the band joins behind for a few measures. Sounded like what could have been the next instrumental for them.
Really wish there were extended versions of Hot 'Lanta out there. It lends itself to all kinds of jamming.

You are correct, forgot about CDB! I wanted to hear ABB play Melissa, but left before the encore, if there was one. Had been a long day.

Saw them with warren Haynes and Derrick trucks, would have loved to have seen Duane. As someone mentioned earlier I've seen the Greg allman band and it was pretty good show. Met the cowboy Dickey Betts at a Warren Hsynes concert in Oxford a few years back, clean and sober he was actually very nice.

I'm not sure many bands have had as many different members as the ABB. The only constants were Gregg, Butch, and Jaimoe.

Even Jaimoe was gone for a while, from 1980-82, Frankie Toler took his place, his brother Dan Toler was playing guitar in ABB at the same time.

Great guitar player...a shame he passed a few years ago.

Duane's work on this version of Stormy Monday is some of the most beautiful guitar work from start to finish I've ever heard. Especially from about 3:00 on.

At the Warehouse in New Orleans a long time ago. A lot of people played there. Cat Stevens, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Poco, Black Sabbath, ZZ Top and so forth. Might have been a little smoke in the air.
I think Poco might have been one of the best I saw there. They did an encore that was from their second album that I was sure couldn't be done live and nailed it. This.
The whole number is pretty long and the first half is not what presents a problem live, but the second half is sort of like Jimmy Smith meets Carlos Santana. You've got a pedal string guitar run through a Leslie cabinet sounding like a Hammon B3, drummer George Grantham laying down some latinish syncopated funk and Timothy Schmidt on bass doing great work holding the whole piece together. (I'd put Grantham on the list of underrated drummers mentioned on another post). It's a nice piece to put the headphones on and relax.
They also did a pretty good blues number from the same album that night and nailed it as well. Anyway, Bye, Bye.
Obviously these pieces are in contrast to the country-rock with which they are generally associated.
sorry for the long response but your post took me back to an interesting time in my life.

Saw them at the Warehouse for new years. I was 16. Duane was just from another world. To think he was 24 when he died. What could have been is mind boggling.
