Grateful to have seen the Allman Brothers a few times, starting in the late 70's. The band's influence is strong - The Grateful Dead and Phish count the band as helping to shape their music. I loved that Jimmy Carter was such a big fan. I had tickets to see Greg Allman in Aspen at Belly Up, but he had to cancel for health reasons. Then Greg passed.
