Gregg Allman & Rick Danko - 1991-06-01 - Lone Star Roadhouse, NY NY (SBD)

When Rick Danko played the Lone Star Roadhouse, a favorite venue for The Band. on June 1, 1991, 28 years ago this very day, instead of his normal band mates, he was joined on stage by the late, great Gregg Allman. The Allman Brothers were  just about to go out on tour, but Gregg got a jump start by playing this gig with Danko.  Its 2 sets, filled with Band & ABB classics. By the way, John Popper of Blues Traveler was one of the freinds playing with Allman and Danko.  According to Popper's biography, "Gregg and Danko we’re getting good and lit backstage and giving Popper some good natured hazing. Apparently, they made Popper go out and play some songs by himself for a while so they could keep partying... " (my thanks to my buddy Pig Street! for that tidbit!)  

NOTE - I updated the link as of 2 pm Eastern time.  The SBD tracks are now at 320 thanks to my buddy Auvo. For thoise who grabbed this before 2 pm, you may want to re-download to get the higher bit rate.
