Never understood him hooking up with Charo though.

Actor Gary Oldman, I don't get it either..

A girl that used to cut my hair dated Gregg allman back in the day. Which in itself probably put her in with a very long list of others... But for 20 bucks extra, she would cut your hair topless! ....... Rip
dang that one really hurts!!!! Saw him and my good buds from Marshall Tucker in so many local barnyard concerts!!
RIP sir!
I saw them in '69 play as a lead off band for Country Joe McDonald, again in '70 then in '71 at Clemson right before Duane died and again in "72.Two more times after that , can't remember the yrs. Jaimoe and Butch were the best combo on drums to ever play, and Dicky and Gregg, none better playing those strings. Statesboro Blues and Midnight Rider have always my favorites.
Hoop, all the old MT Band guys are gone now. I worked with a guy that used to play with them locally around SC, he could pick , but Dicky and Gregg were always the best. All the good Southern R & R , R & B bands are gone now, but there is one hell of a jam session going on somewhere now.

Saw them at the Warehouse in NO at their New years concerts in 71, 72 and 73. All there the first year, minus Duane the second, and minus Barry the third. Gregg and his Hammond organ tying it all together each time. And he had one of most distinctive singing voices ever. Thanks for the memories brother...
Eat a Peach is still one of my favorite albums but my favorite song by them is Loan Me a Dime.
There seems to be some confusion on the brothers amongst a couple folks.. Duane was the ‘guitar guy’, Greg played a little acoustic but was the singer and played the B3 organ. Loan me a dime was a Boz Scaggs tune Duane played on as a session musician.
The ABB is my favorite band so this hit me hard yesterday. Music can have a very emotional impact on some people while some people could care less. Listening to a live version of Mountain Jam while sitting on a high mountain in CO while elk hunting is a yearly tradition for me. This loss hurts. I went to church last night after hearing the news and was treated to a Memorial Day service. You know what, he made music that touched my soul, but at the same time was a draft dodger and made some very poor life choices. He really was “No Angel” and I had a little perspective change consideration the many folks that gave lives for our freedom that won’t receive the headlines or accolades. I’ll miss the music but is it tempered by the fact that he was an artist and not a hero. God bless those who gave their all and may Gregg have found peace.
It's interesting to see so much adoration for Gregg Allman on this site as he shot himself in the foot to avoid the Vietnam War. That would seem to guarantee him 'snowflake' status.Of course there is no shortage of hypocrisy around here...
