Hope he gets the nod. I have heard him and Derek Trucks play slide that was so close to sounding like Duane Allman it was spooky.
Comes to B'ham every year, except this past year.
Last 2 summers Gov't Mule played Sloss, before at the Alabama theatre every year since 2005. Then in '09 Widespread and Allman brothers played 2 shows together on a Friday and Sat evening the week of Ole Miss '09 in Oxford.
Trucks and Haynes were just great.
First saw Warren Haynes play with Allman Brothers at Boutwell in Nov 1991. Dickie Betts was outted by Greg Allman because of substance abuse and Haynes came in and played on "Seven Turns' album.
Have seen him since with Phil Lesh and Friends, Grateful Dead, Bob Weir "RatDog" and all the Mule showes. Last summer tixs were only $20 bucks!
