I can't post there, the subject header is too long.

It was a great show though... erie to hear Warren sing "They should of never taken the very best." During The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, down in Tennessee.

That was Greg Allman not Warren Haynes that sang The Band's "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" at bonnaroo.

Though it was an amazing song selection by the Allmans to performed "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" in Tennessee.

I couldn't post there either.

How was Dreams Tim?

I hope they play it tomorrow. I've only heard it once, and never with Dickey. That's eight shows with only one Dreams.

The Allman Brothers performance of "Dreams" at bonnaroo was quite good. The song lasted around ten minutes which is three minutes longer than the studio version, but I'm sure ten is around an average time length for current live performances of "Dreams."

I have seen the Allman Brothers six times and I know I have seen them do "Dreams" before, but I don't remember how many times? I'm going to have to look that up.

Could of sworn they traded verses, but then again I'm not the one you call when your looking for someone with catalog style memory. ;) Man was it humid down there... I can still remember the way the smoke from the barbeques would just stick to the ground... you could swim in it it was so think.

I looked it up and it was only my second "Dreams" that I saw performed at bonnaroo.

The first was at the Molson Amphitheatre in 2000 which I assume was the time you saw it as well.
