THANK YOU AGAIN, Tyler.....I watch the disc all the time & it always brings laughter & tears.....he blessed us all....this will be the first year in many, that I don't get a Christmas card signed by him... 🙁
Nic was a hero and friend......
"Your heroes will help you find Good in yourself, your friends won't forsake you for somebody else....they'll both stand beside you through Thick and through Thin.....that's how it goes w/ heroes & Friends"...R Travis
Dan, no cigar. Must have thrown out my bootlegs. Ron Everheart in Charlotte gave me that show, too, so it was special.
I am flattered kimberly... sorry i forgot
I bookmarked that Tribute to Nic and have watched it many times over the past year. That grin.
No Capn, I believe we ran into each other at Tampa Bay Bluesfest after that, I saw you side stage briefly, that was when Dickey was sick and Great Southern played on...haha! I remember everything...lol! Just teasing ya...
Frankie's Birthday Bash is Wednesday night, Dickey's Day is Thursday...Andy's is next Monday.... and, some dude named Gregg was yesterday... NIC's is later this month... CELEBRATE !!!
-=DDT=- Kimberly, that benefit at Hershberger's was the last time I saw You & Nic... a great weekend for sure... I remember when I got the news Warren was on his way from Orlando... I was given the "task" of spreading the word, in an effort to bring in a few more guests... result, about 50 + people showed up in the next 2 hours... what a wonderful memory.
The first abb gig I attended was May 2000, shortly after the fax. J.H. sat in for Dickey... I left early, not liking what I heard... I also had tickets for Red Rocks that July, gave them away and cancelled my flight... ironically, the friend I gifted my tickets to, also LEFT EARLY.... highly disappointed
BUTT, letting go of the past is often the best way to enjoy TODAY.
The past is history, the future a mystery, today is a GIFT, that's why they call it the present !!
People can you feel it?
Wow Bluesky Johnson, thank you for putting the video together for our sweet Brother Nic, my heart breaks every time I ponder that he is not here not earth but he is our angel...miss Neil too...made me realize that every precious moment we have on this earth means something and is cherished...last time I saw Nic and Pam we had lunch out in Siesta Key...it was a good time...also a damn great time was the benefit for Danny Toler at the Hershberger Horse Ranch, when Warren showed up, priceless in my heart...
Sending love to everybody here...
Remember it is Dickey's birthday this weekend - 70th yeah baby, time to celebrate!
To Dickey, For all you have done, accomplished, survived, triumphed over, learned from, and laughed about... Congratulations and Happy Birthday to You!
Love, Kimberly
Dan, I had/have? an ABB show with Dickey and Jimmy Herring that is one of my all time favorites. We've been doing a lot of remodeling here lately and I don't know whether I kept all my bootlegs or tossed them but they aren't in the ol' mancave anymore, so I'll check around and see if I can find it today. Herring's style is so different from Dickey's and the contrast was really great.
Here's a dream ABB reunion show for you - Dickey, Jimmy, Jack Pearson, Derek, Warren, and Chuck Leavell. I'd pay at least $10 to see that!
I gave myself the Layla guitar as a birthday present 12/07. It arrives tomorrow and I am so excited 🙂
Ya know, I look at it this way…
The SEC IS without question, the dominant force in college football. Whoever wins the SEC outright deserves respect for a damn tough conference schedule.
Saban got greedy and out coached, so get over it. He ain't God, and he ain't Bear. And to say Auburn got lucky is part true, but luck defines college football just like the X's and the O's….happens across the country every week. A win is a win, no matter how you get it.
0:01 = the new normal
I don't care if someone does not like Auburn, but the SEC Champ should be respected for winning the toughest football conference in the Country.
Okay right now I a watching Austin City Limits and they have Wide Spread Panic... I am quite impressed! Jimmy is a phenominal guitarist . So my question is does anyone have any live stuff by these cats and give me a direction on their studio albums. PM me for some help.
Thanks Dan
The end of this month would have been Nic's Birthday... Missing our brother and all the other brothers/sisters who have left us way too soon... 😥
Morning all
WAR DAMN EAGLE
Bluesky, guitar is on its way! Will post and thank you..
Whoops - it's Palladia!
Tyler, I saw a recent Warren Haynes Band performance on Paladium and it was fantastic. I enjoy Warren and Trucks with ABB immensely, but Warren's own band is not surprisingly the best platform to showcase his talent because he handpicked every musician and is in charge of every aspect of each recording and show. I shouldn't have been so surprised how good WHB was but it really shocked me. So you ought to be on the lookout for that show if you get Paladia in your market. I see a lot of great music/musicians on that station.
Just watched a Who concert from 1977 the other day. Buddy, they could really bring it!
Howdy folks! :wave: Hope everyone is well?
Been checking out quite a few clips of brother Dickey back in the 90's. Man was that lineup on fire! I know a lot of folks have said he ain't what he used to be. I personally still dig the heck out of him and love the vibe he brings. What struck me as somewhat of a revelation though, is Warren Haynes. I have seen him quite a few times over the years with the ABB after Dickey was out of there. I have to say that I can't believe how different he plays now. I still am a fan of Warren but miss his playing from the 90's era. His playing had more of a bite to it and I loved his slide playing better than now. I'm not sure if it's the whole band combination at the time or Dickey's influence on him but to me it's different now. Just my opinion though I guess. For me, the '89-'97 version was one of the best after of course the original.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
RickT...the painted guitar sounds cool! Please show us some pics if you get one done!
Stay warm folks! Got to 20 degrees here in beertown today... :cold:
