Just got finished with your book. Actually I read the first half and then listened to the second half. Loved hearing the interviews with the band. You did an excellent job covering this transitional period for the Brothers. I made a playlist to go along with the book so I could listen along as you covered the various musical moments. Let me know if I'm missing anything on here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/407brr3PZhvhwccMJr4fGk?si=82f07436628c4722
Thanks for another awesome article Alan. One tiny observation; in the caption of band pic. Gregg is named as front row guitar while Duane is named as back row organ. Happy Trails!
Thanks for posting this, Alan. I love both of these bands and all the players. And PG’s Fleetwood Mac. Heady days! I also want to pick up all your books next time I get back stateside. I enjoy all your posts here and on FB. Muito obrigado.
Thanks for posting this. I was there for one of the shows but not the one where everyone jammed. I was a senior in HS, already hard core Deadhead, first time seeing them was 1968. I had never heard of Allman Brothers or love before show. Both were great and became fans of both bands. Hard core Allman Brothers fan ever since so glad I got to see them with Duane and happy that Bear made a recording of them. Still addicted to listening to GD, something about their music still makes me feel good and happy. I had seen GD so many times in SF but I went as much as possible to the NYC shows before leaving in 72 and think the Fillmore East shows were the best
Fantastic. Had already read that. But man, I could read that passage of Brothers and Sisters over and over. That is high praise coming from a guy as demanding as Phil Lesh is (musically speaking).
You can hear the Dark Star and Spanish Jam from the 2-11-70 show on Relisten.
Good stuff as always, Alan! I saw two epic ABB/GD shows back a hundred years ago in the 70s. Don;t remember the exact dates but one was a small venue in Hartford called Dillon Stadium,
Berry Oakley was still alive for that one. I also saw one of the JFK (Wash DC) all day marathon shows. Amazing stuff. Perhaps there is an Alan Paul Grateful Dead book coming in the future? :-)
Thanks Tony. All covered in Brothers and Sisters! i'd be happy to write a GD book, but I feel like there are a lot of good ones. Not sure what my original angle would be there.
I love reading articles such as these. Truly embodies the true era of ✌️💜🎼. Where an audience is captivated and transported by the music they are listening to. I miss that, however, I'll I have to do is put on The Grayeful Dead and I'm back there✌️💜🎼
Thanks @Shane Tobin... at a quick glance, list looks great. I already did one!

Eek, you're right. I did not make the graphic, and did not notice until you pointed it out.

Thanks man. I added the video. I should have thought of that in the first place!
