Do you love your mommy, Baby Blob Whine?

Awww Tuity fruity Lil baby Blob Whine again, eh? Still running around in little shorts with your fat gut hanging out? Somebody please put that picture up...:lol:

IMHO Dickey looks and sounds good last weekend out west for kach's Birthday Party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf3VnfGR4Ng

Maybe type it out 5 more different ways, Wally? I feel at some point eventually 2 of your posts will be in agreement. Maybe it's just the different personalities coming out.

Warren Haynes has given over a HALF MILLION DOLLARS to Habitat For Humanity in Charlotte, NC, through his benefit performances, Jonesy. You are right about him all the way.

Pintobean, you are entitled to your opinion. I am simply expressing mine. Listen, there is no bigger Dickey fan than me. I was as frustrated as anybody when he was no longer in the band. I saw the current ABB a few times, and i enjoyed it but to me there was a hole in the sound simply because nobody has a tone like Dickey Betts and it gets in your bones when he's on. One more thought on Warren Haynes. This guy is the salt of the earth. I have a young boy whom i took to see Govt Mule here in Las Vegas a few years ago. We saw Warren after the show purely by accident. Warren bent down low to look him in the eye and asked him how he liked the show. He then reached in his pocket and gave him his WH guitar pic. Freakin cool! my boy still cherishes it. Warren was in the DBB band before joining the ABB so it was Dickey who got him into the band. Dickey has fostered many other players (Danny Toler of course) and aside from being a great guitar player, he has played different styles. I share the same hope..that he keeps playing, and plays well.

Well--I see the conversation is continuing. It was almost civil 🙂 The discussion about branding is an interesting one. Absolutely the ABB "brand" is what has sold tickets. DB and GS has been a "small venue" band since Dickey was ousted from the band in 2001. But let's factor in some other points here. First--the Allman Brothers post Dickey have drawn strongly but by all accounts attendance was receding during this time frame. I honestly don't think it was because Dickey was no longer in the band (only the hard core fans paid attention and may have expressed an opinion), but rather declining number of shows and lack of new material was a factor. It's no mistake that Warren and Derek paid attention to their own bands, and rightfully so, there is a blatant difference in age here. Pintobean I think your comment about their committment to the ABB is seen differently by me. Warren was totally committed to the ABB, and this incarnation of the band lasted longer than any other. Hard to bang on Warren and Derek. Also--DB and GS was formed in 1976 or so. I saw them at Radio City Music Hall, the place sold out and they were great. That was at a time the ABB was very well known, and Dickey was the acknowledged guitar maestro. Didn't put him in Madison Square Garden though. Even Gregg Allman, who had the Allman name to market, was playing dinky joints for years after the ABB broke up. The juice in music is royalties, and although i don't know it firsthand, i am sure Dickey is still reeping those rewards and will continue to. By the way...hey there TennKev!

I ain't even gonna go there and make things worse around here. Lets talk about the cat in the hat. Capn.........tell Dickey to put down the bow, pick up the guitar, and play some dates in the fall and winter. :guitar:

I suspect Baby Whine might be a little light in the loafers, don't you, Kev?

It's a little fruity, that's all I'm sayin'. 🙂
