Nice little set at the Lincoln in Raleigh last night. Was a tribute to #DickeyBetts. We did a short set of “unplugged” stuff—Little Martha, Pony Boy, and Sweet Melissa.

Minor disaster during Pony Boy. In the middle of the tune we hear this massive flanged jet engine sound roaring through the house and monitors. We all look at each other. Apparently the singer had accidentally bumped some sort of effect button. Took him about 20 seconds to figure out how to turn it off.

The prompt is Idle
The Allman Brothers Band, “Idlewild South” 1970

The #AllmanBrothers' second album was reissued with their first eponymous album as the double album Beginnings after their bar-raising live album “At Fillmore East” and the popular success of “Eat a Peach.”

I know what you’re thinking: #SouthernRock, rednecks with guitars, but while they arguably launched that genre, let’s remember their jazzy, dare I say, #JamBand side, and two drummers - TWO DRUMMERS - that drove songs like pile drivers, not to mention #GreggAllman's world-worn vocals and those two lead guitars. OK, the guitar thing became a southern rock cliche, but when you have musician's musician #DuaneAllman on slide, it’s a whole different animal.

Tragedy and excess would reduce the band to a less adventurous shadow of its former self, but their first two albums are a gumbo of #BluesRock weight, instrumental finesse, southern soul, and inspiration.

Dickey Betts, cofounder of the Allman Brothers Band, died last week. In this essay for Paste, Matt Mitchell remembers his work on "Eat a Peach" and "Brothers and Sisters." "I contend that, between February 1972 and August 1973, there was no greater rocker walking among us than Dickey Betts," Mitchell writes. "Most musicians would kill to write 'Blue Sky,' 'Jessica' and 'Ramblin’ Man' over the course of a long career; Betts did it in just 16 months’ time, a creative peak few musicians of his caliber, genre and longevity have ever paralleled."

So, vocal mix is just awful, but how about the unacknowledged little tribute to old comrades in the #GratefulDead in this one - if that's not Franklin's Tower they're playing at the start I'll eat Dickey's oldest and nastiest pisskey-soaked cowboy boot.
