This months shows is yet another one of those "I cant believe it took us this long to play this for you" shows.  An amazing, long and wandering performance that will certainly entertain just about anyone who enjoys live music.  For half-time we take another listen to the Allman Brothers from NYE 1973... this time with some decent guests.  This, my friends, is a good one... enjoy the hell out of it!!!

Here is a really nice and quite intense show from upstate NY in 1977.... no, not "that one", this one is a little more spine tingling.  "Bob", our valiant co-host, discusses his experience a few days later.  All that and some great Herbie Hancock/Jaco Pastorious for halftime... what could be better?   Enjoy this one y'all.... and, Happy Homecoming!

This months podcast comes to us from the beloved Fall 1979 Tour of the east coast.  Brent was, clearly, fully integrated into the bands sound and the sky seemed to be the limit... and the destination!  Halftime brings us some great 1979 stories from Bob, who got around quite a bit that year... as well as some Hot Tuna.  Enjoy!!
