Calling All Music Fans...

Growing up in Macon, during the ABB hayday, I love em too. I even have a copy of Dwayne's wreck report from the MPD. I will look and see about the vinyl, not sure what I got or where it is packed away.
RIP Dwayne and Barry

Jason...I'd be interested in that Allman Bros. stuff...now you guys are starting to talk my language...

I think I have almost every Allman bros album but I'm not parting with them. I actually wore out the Live at Fillmore East double album and had to buy another. Later bought it on CD. I managed to see them at the Fillmore west before Duane died.

Since it's music and your car is Mosport Green, all I can offer you is an old record called 'The Sounds of Mosport'. . It's a 60's live recording of cars racing at the Mosport track. . Also Music and Mosport related, you may be able to come up w/ some live recordings of Woodstock style music festivals at Mosport like 'Strawberry Fields' 1970? Canada Jam 77? . Good luck!

Yep, some very good stuff.
The quality is fair but enjoyable to say the least.
I have done some digging around and have a couple sites too.
...will post them later today.
Thanks.

No one else used a glass pill bottle on the strings!

Anyone who is an Allman Bros. fan should read a book called,"Midnight Rider". It is a very close account to how things really were, the good and the bad. Gregg, Butch, and the others were livid when it came out.
An interesting bit of trivia, guess how much the insurance company (company truck involved in wreck)paid Dwayne's estate for his death?
Remember this was 1970. The company truck btw was Sam Hall Construction, they are still in business today.

The grand sum of $21,000
His Harley sportser sat at the local Harley shop for years and was robbed of parts until they threw it away.
Sorry to steal thread.

I ached for the music from the past recently.
I was ecstatic to find a Box full of 8TK tapes at a swapmeet recently.The good stuff like CCR,3DN,BTO & Especially ABB.This may just be me,but their music sounds more authentic to me on the 8TK tape format,then on the current released and cleaned up CDS.

Oh Yes Rick... All cds are digitally remastered. Computers do everything these days.
The ABB have these new releases called Instant Live CDs. They are quite costly but you can get any show from the recent tour. Anyone look into these?
