I don't quite remember what I was doing the last time ABB played at roo, but I know I've kicked myself a lot for missing their show. I'm really stoked to hear them play.
Mad props to the WV people. I grew up in Oak Hill and will be leaving from there the wee hours of Thursday morning to make the trek to roo yet again.
Right on. My pops is from Oak Hill. Have some karma!
For some reason, Liz Reed they still play fairly frequently.
That's because it's so awesome. As for their setlists, it's really anyone's guess. Sometimes they do really jammy sets, sometimes they play a lot of hits, hell I saw them do an all blues show last summer in VA Beach, complete with Manic Depression cover.

With my name being Melissa I can only imagine you guys know what song I want to hear
I have been trying to see Allman Bros. for years and everytime they come anywhere near me something comes up... so I am stoked to see them at roo....soooo if something happens, like their tour bus breaks down and they don't make it to roo you can blame me....
I know they still play "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" because I have a recording of the ABB in 2003 doing a 34-minute version of that song. It kicks some major ass!
My advice see ABB. Your going to get a great show. I hope that they don't get conflicted as bad as 05. They were up against Herbie Hancock and the Bela Fleck Trio. I remember a insane Mountain Jam and a great Slide Jam with Jery Douglas sittin in before I ventured to Herbie.
I'm really excited to see Derek Trucks. He was touring with Clapton last year, but didn't play the Canadian shows, so I didn't get to see him. Then when he finally came to Winnipeg on his own, I was out of town and had to miss him once again.
Bonnaroo should make up for all of that quite nicely.
I'm super excited for some Trucks/Tedeschi action. I have the Derek Trucks Band Songlines Live! DVD, and it is fantastic. I highly recommend it to all of you.
My favorite surprise in '03 was a smokin set closer of "Layla" and in '05 it was "Franklins Tower" and "Jessica". They always light it up at Bonnaroo. I read a review of the '05 set in Relix and the writer called it the best ABB set in the last ten years! They will play a two hour set in the late afternoon before the headliner. They have played the same time slot both times they have played. If you have never experienced the brothers I would say this is a don't miss set. It has been a highlight of my festival both years. Also it is about damn time the Derek Trucks Band is appearing at Bonnaroo. I am almost certain they will play a late night slot. With his wife Susan Tedeski appearing with them it will be a very special set and should include a lot of special guests!
I wish the Mule was playing, too, but I suppose since they just played last year it makes sense that they aren't again so soon.
Besides, Warren is going to be playing with just about every other band there anyway
I also think it would be really cool if Oteil & The Peacemakers had a small afternoon set, I've never seen or heard them before. I'd be really interested in that.
I've seen The Allman's twice now. Once they were headlining at SPAC and once they opened for Tom Petty (that was a great show) They do a good job of playing some of their hits (read: Melissa, Blue Sky, Ramblin Man etc.) At the first show they did a lot of jamming which was nice the second not so much but again still a good show (especially followed up by Petty ;D) Anyways I'll be at their show for roo, great band.
Blue Sky and Ramblin Man? When was this...
Blue Sky's kinda rare these days ...I think In the last 7 years of Beacon shows (what's that like 100-125 shows) they only played it once.
Ramblin Man is unheard of since Dickey left...
I love those songs...and Jessica...I want Betts back damn it!
I saw Dickie Betts sit in with Phil Lesh for a complete third set a couple of years ago in Atlanta. The third set was Turn On Your Lovelight, Blue Sky, In Memory of Liz Reed, Ramblin' Man, Franklin's Tour. All of this was with Dickie Betts. Yeah it was pretty awesome.
Close your eyes. Picture a convict. What's he wearing? Nothing special, baseball cap on backwards, baggy pants... he says something ordinary like... 'yo, thats shizzle.' Okay. Now slowly open your eyes again. Who are you picturing? A black man? Wrong. That was a white woman. Surprised? Well, shame on you.
