Gregg Allman, RIP

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.

    One of my favorites. I love it how Servo keeps trying to start and Flavia interupts.

    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.”

    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.
