Savannah, Georgia–Gregg Allman, a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band, which inspired and gave shape to both the Southern rock and jam-band movements, died on May 27 at his home here. He was 69.
MSTies will recall that a snippet of the Allman Brothers standard “Melissa” (which Allman co-wrote) can be heard coming from the radio of the “loaner Crow” in a host segment in episode 913- QUEST OF THE DELTA KNIGHTS.
The New York Times has the story.
Thanks to Timmy for suggesting we include him in our files.
Muscle Shoals is in mourning.
He’s taking that Midnight Ride. Gotta ride out into the country and blast that out the windows in his honor.
(Loaner Crow, one of my most fav MST3K moments. will bring tears to my eyes for another reason in the future)
And don’t forget “Jessica,” from “The Thing That Couldn’t Die.”
lets listen to what the loaner Crow has to play:

Yes, this definitely deserves a mention.
One of my favorites. I love it how Servo keeps trying to start and Flavia interupts.
Jessica! Forgot about that! Getting old… been a while. :( and I’m on season 5 at the moment.
Boggy Creek II riff–
Crenshaw: They was just a bangin’ and carryin’ on… a man can’t get a bit of sleep around here.
“I think he’s getting the creature mixed up with the Allman Brothers.”
Cher outlived both her ex husbands.
also how did Gregg Allman die before Kieth Richards anyway.
We do not list riffs in the theater. If I had to do that, I would be doing that and only that. And if anybody wants to pay me handsomely to do that, I’m in. But as of now, those riffs were in the theater so they are not included.
