lol, Chris, I'm noticing a trend. Are you gonna be eeking out these jewels daily? ;)

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

See ya up front 2nd Sat. for ABB.

[ohio]

Chris, when is SRV playing?

[NOLA]

Any rumors on the day ZZ Top is playing?

[mendelj2]

Anyone know if derek trucks band or susan tedeschi will be around with the allmans in town?

Allmans/Rads back to back would be amazing!

[Mojo Rises]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a little DDBB action w/ the Brothers. Maybe Taj could sit in for a Statesboro Blues jam. Can't f'n wait!:D

[Mojo Rises]

I know Warren Haynes is a huge Gibbons fan. ZZ Top songs are a staple of Gov't Mule shows - Maybe Billy could join the ABB. Count on a Warren sighting at the ZZ show - no matter when it is.

[Mojo Rises]

I'd say there is nearly a 100% chance that Gov't Mule will be in town as well. Derek Trucks band too. :cool:

[funkkjunkie]

Since trucks and tedeschi have little ones, we might see her around the FG with the kids.

[Mojo Rises]

I'm so pumped!

[ac_deadhead]

i would almost bank on chuch leavell sitting in with them...
he jammed with them in new york last year, and if he is playing the fest the same weekend...

I friggin LOVE Warren Haynes!! I was so disappointed last summer when we went to their show in Detroit and he had a family emergency and didn't play :( This is the act I am MOST excited about for fest this year....this and the New Orleans Social Club :)

[Amy Winette]

Me too bc of Warren Haynes!! He was soo amazing last year, my highlight after Bruce.

[ac_deadhead]

well, being a deadhead and all, when warren did a year or two with phil lesh & friends a couple of years back.... that was the sh*t for me! his guitar riffs are chilling!

(the mule at night at last years fest was a treat as well!)

How come the ABB isn't on the front page with all the other musiicans?

[steeleye]

To be honest, I don't think ABB is the same without Dickie Betts. The last couple of times I saw them post-Dickie, they didn't perform any of the material where he had the sole writing credit, a product of their acrimonious split I'm sure. Not saying that Dereck Trucks isn't a great musician, he is, but I miss the days with Dickie. You never knew what shape he would be in, that was hit or miss, but when he was "on" you were in for a memorable night.

Not all the headliners are included in that slide show -- no Taj Mahal, no Lucinda Williams, no Joss Stone. So I doubt that no ABB is any kind of slight or anything.

I will agree to a point with you on that, steeleye. Dickie when he wasn't so blitzed he couldn't function would give you performances you read about. I think Derek is really starting to come full on into his own and with my man Warren-the heir apparent to the JB moniker "the hardest working man is show business"-I will not miss that performance.
Chuck Leavell I am almost positive will sit in-they have played together on and off when they can for the last few Allmans tours.
Funkjunkie-i hope we may see Susan get on stage with the brothers.
She is from just south of Boston,and I have followed her career for some time now. Just a great musician-she joined one of the post-Jerry incarnations of the Dead and really held her own.

[ac_deadhead]

with warren and dereck trucks they have been a bit more jammy and psychedelic... reminds me more of the 70's allman's. that's cool by me!
stilll think it is a shame about dickie betts though... drinking problem or no, he rocks! and, is greg allman the one to be throwing stones at ANYONE about excessive partying????

[bluedog]

:o wow I really need to get back in touch with my "Freedom Rock" ... Derek Trucks was just in town here and I saw his name in the Fri Xtra and said to myself ... "self you know that name - Go to the show!" and I didn't because I could not remember the music:rolleyes: (f*ckn' pot) .... and wasn't sure if $75 for sitter + tix was worth the trip. well duh!

[stlbarb]

Dickie?
