It happens once a year. I listen to some ABB and I get hooked. All I listen to is ABB. Everything from Sky Dog himself, to Dickey & Jack to Warren & Derek.

I learn as many guitar licks as I can each night. Damn what a band!

Any other ABB guitar playin' wanna bees in here?

They record some sets at Jazz Fest and then sell them LINK

Problem is that sometimes they are for limited time....I've got the Anders Osborne set from few years ago there, and you can't find it anywhere now...one of best sets I've ever heard.

Blue Sky - September 19, 1971

They released the concert as an album a few years ago. This is probably the best version of Blue Sky you will ever hear, and I will say the same about this show's 'Liz Reed and Dreams.

While I do love the dead I prefer ABB's bluesier more "southern" sound.

I heard the original ABB with Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley In New Orleans New Years Eve at the Warehouse when in college. I think it was '70, could have been '71. It was unbelieveable for a guitar player. Foghat opened. Lasted from 11:00 to 4:00 am, fantastic. Saw them several other times over the years, but never the same, after 2 or 3 deaths. Live at the Fillmore and Eat a Peach were great to learn to play. I got the melodies and chords down, but could not cover the leads, just the melodies. Best live band ever, no doubt.
