Seven Turns was released on this day, 1990. Kirk West explains the cover image. 

Tonite we attended a tribute jam in Osprey, Florida, held to celebrate the renaming of a section of US 41, now the Dickey Betts Memorial Highway, in the local legend’s honor. I love that florida legislators recognized Dickey’s contribution to the world and saw fit to designate a bit of Highway 41 near his home in his honor.

The former county commissioner who spearheaded the idea opened the show by reading the first verse of Ramblin’ Man.

The crowd, many of whom appeared to be roughly Dickey’s age when he passed, went wild.

Hi.
Does anyone know if there exists any good reissues of Allman Brothers at Fillmore East? Ive tried several represses and remasters, but not a single one is good at all. They all sound flat and boring

I have a 1971 capricorn monarch press, but it isnt in the best shape. The best would be to get my hands on a mint capricorn, but they doesnt seem to exist, atleasy not without having to sell a kidney or a car.

Is there some specific pressings that were made during the 70’s that comes close to the original?

Thanks😊

I've been playing bass for most of the past 55 years and am always in awe of Berry's tone on the Fillmore album. Is there anything documented as to what kind of rig he was using for those shows?

Hey everyone, I am in search of any dated memorabilia of my husband when he was a drummer back in the day.

He was heavy in the Rock/Metal scene in San Diego between roughly 1984 through 1993. I know for sure his band opened for Gordon Lightfoot at the Del Mar Fair in June 1984.

Here are the band names he remembered being in:
Kraven Moorehead
Legion
Pitch black
Neverland
Arsonal
Trip the planet

If you have any, I’d greatly appreciate it!

He was the first member invited to join the Allman Brothers Band and now he's the last man standing. Jaimoe's got a lot to say.

this fkn song mannnnn....dickie is a legend who im glad got some fame while he was alive...guy outshined duane (just imo rip duane)...dickie is such an influence on me and im so glad he made bougainvillea in addition to his contribs on this album...absolute legend, long live DB

I was lucky enough to attend a Gregg Allman show in Amsterdam at the Paradiso Theater in July 2015, back when I was probably too young to fully appreciate the rarity of the experience - but I was in the city, saw he was playing, and went because I loved all the Allman Bros classics. Reflecting more than a decade later, I now know how unique it was to have seen him in his next-to-last year of touring, when I just by chance intersected with him in a foreign city - and I have only listed to ABB more over the years since.

I badly wish I had some sort of memento from the show - poster art, etc. - but I cant for the life of me find anything online from this show or even really the 2015 tour where the show would at least have been included. I am not deep into the world of "jam band" merch, so am looking for advice on how to refine my focus beyond hopelessly searching on ebay. thanks in advance for any tips in steering me in the right direction!

The legendary music executive died yesterday. Looking back at the Allman Brothers Band's troubled years on his Arista label. The Grateful Dead had a lot more success with the label and the executive.

On grief, legacy, and what it means to keep playing when the music gets hard.

Many years ago, I got some files from a neighbor (no foolin') labeled "Live at Beacon Theater 3-23-01" and have been trying to find the original source but have had no luck. Here's the tracklist:

1. Black Hearted Woman - 4:11
2. Stand Back - 6:39
3. Hoochie Coochie Man - 5:36
4. Feel So Bad - 7:46
5. Rocking Horse - 8:34
6. All Night Train - 11:03
7. Desdemona - 6:58
8. Jessica - 13:52
