The two Peavey Classic 50s do appear to be his gear. His son seems to be using the Marshall stack. I would prefer the Peavy's - if my back was able to withstand lifting that kind of weight like it used to.

+Escape1988 Why would anyone trust what Gregg Allman says? He isabout the least trustworthy and honest one of the bunch. He never hadanyone's back but his own and his dealer's. I agree that Dickey Betts hadmajor problems with his behavior but come on. Gregg has been married and divorced six times. Is that a man grounded in reality?

+Escape1988 I just finished "One Way Out" and according to the book Gregg and Dickey both had issues with drugs and alcohol. what was strange was when one had their moment of sobriety the other would sink into a downward spiral. They were never clean at the same time. Back in 2000 Dickey had a few close friends pass away very close to him and was in the "downward spiral". Derek Trucks was in the band at the time and they recorded Peakin at the Beacon. Known for it's lack luster performance, it was the straw that broke the camels back. Gregg planed on quitting. Butch Trucks planned on quitting. They talked it over and had every intention of telling the other they were done when they decided "Hey he's the one causing the problem." They sent him the fax stating that they were planning on touring without him that summer. It went on to further state that he was welcome to come back to the band after he cleaned up and was willing to work as democracy and not a dictatorship. They wanted to fire him but Jaimoe who was an original equal partner said "No one is fired in the this group. The only way out is by death or quitting."Dickey didn't respond to their message and they were greeted by his lawyers. Jaimoe then stated, "I guess he quit!"Jaimoe is the only voice of reason and the only guy in it still for the music and not for making money. Jaimoe said he quit. End of story!

+IslaGC09 I absolutely agree with your statement except the fact is that Dicky was never fired via fax. Gegg explains that entire scenario in the book. A fax was sent yes, there is no doubt about that, but it did not say in any way, legal or other wise, that Dicky was fired. He just took it that way for some reason. Essentially the fax requested that he take some time off and get straight and then come back. It was more of an intervention, but it wasn't a firing.

+Escape1988 - Somebody had to lead the band after Duane died. Gregg certainly wasn't going to. If it wasn't for Dickey's leadership and songwriting, the Allman Brothers might have gone down in history as just a short-lived band from that time period.  I think Dickey's addiction issues had more to do with his firing. Gregg got sober and Dickey definitely didn't. Yes he was an angry pain in the ass drunk and coke addict, but it was kind of a shitty how they let him go via fax.

In more or less words according to Gregg, after Duane died Dicky started acting as if he was the band leader. He essentially tried to take over The Allman Brothers and it just kept getting worse throughout the years. His drug and alcohol abuse compounded everything as well. My take on it is that Dicky was and probably still is jealous that it was the Allman name and not his. He's basically just a bitter, angry, vindictive son of a bitch. In Gregg's book he says that after Duane died, Dicky began acting like he was "the fucking five star admiral of the band."

+Escape1988 you should elaborate. I'm curious

nyuck, nyuck
