slavetothegroove Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Just came across this, I had no idea. July 31st, and August 1st Haynes with ABB will be playing at the Casino Rama, only an hour or so from Toronto. Between that and the Mule playing in Fredericton, I don't know what to do with myself.....http://mule.net/tour/warren.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Unfortunately tickets are very expensive. Wish we still had ABB shows at the Amphitheatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyBeats Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 That died with the poor turnouts two years in a row, why I'll never know. On that note I saw the Allmans and Moe last year (or the year before?) in London for an audience of maybe 1000 people. Lamest crowd ever and the band still rocked the house!

Kanada Kev Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I was at that London show too ... def lame after the MOlson Amph show the night before (or 2 nights before). I couldn't believe that they weren't selling beer in the LABATT Centre that night either. Best thing about that show ... we were in front row, the band ripped it up, and Susan Tadeschi came out to sing with the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'm 99% sure that Warren Haynes plays with ABB every show now and for the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 steph we are going, it's my bday! we haven't booked rooms yet so maybe we can get a deal on multi rooms or a suite? i think velvet's in charge of booking the rooms so maybe talk to him...we are gonna try and stay somewhere for cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.p. Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 He does. It's just that "Slave" got his info from the Gov't Mule/ Warren Haynes web page which makes mention of Warren Haynes events. On the ABB page or on the tickets it would probaly say "The Allman Brothers Band". If I was on that side of the country I'd be all about going, and I'm pretty sure that my mom is going. I'd miss one of the nights though for YMSB @ the Horseshoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 That died with the poor turnouts two years in a row, why I'll never know. Call me a cynic, but fans cannot lose sight in the significance of the loss of Dickey, even with the release of the mostly excellent "Hittin' The Note". There's only so far you can play his signature songs and guitar parts and get away with it. Losing Dickey is far more damaging (but comparable) than the disasterous albums and various lineup change fiascos of the late 70's and early 80's.

p.p. Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Not to take away the importance that Dicky was to the band, but I've seen them lots of times now. In the mid-late 90's they began to get a bit boring. With the new line-up (Oteil, Derrek, and Warren), the music seems to have been reborn and they seem to be having a really fun time which is important. Their spirits are up and the band is more fun than it had been in a long time. The only thing I think we're really missing out on is the fact that we'll probably never hear "Blue Sky" again.According to interviews I've seen with them on their DVD, they're happy that Dicky is gone. He apparentely was a bully, and they'd finally had enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.p. Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Oh yeah.... Warren still wouldn't be in the band right now if Dickey was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I'll be catching them in August at Darien.I definitely prefer that venue over the toe-tappin Casino Rama (minus the pesky border crossing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That certainly soured me on ever travelling to see them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Warren doesn't cancel on gigs too often. I never made it into that show but I remember people saying it was still pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phorbesie Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 i didn't mind warren not making that show. what are ya gonna do...he had a family emergency or something! is it fair to be sour? chuck leavell was fun instead, i can see warren with them any day. i haven't been to Casinorama yet, but if it's anything like the Fallsview shows, definitely not to be missed!! very intimate and rockin can't wait!

Booche Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I'm with p.p on the Dickey thing. It was getting blooming awful with him in the band. Heck, it got to the point that I gave up on them entirely.I cant speak too much for modern-day Allmans but the show they played here at Bluesfest a few years ago was excellent. Then again, Dickey surprised me last year. I guess it's best left they stay in their separate corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hey, I'm not saying the Allmans aren't sounding great without Dickey, but they just aren't nearly as authentic anymore. I understand why Dickey was fired and I can't argue with it too much: Listen to how Derek kicks his ass on the last Dickey/Allmans album: "Peakin' At The Beacon". I'm just saying that longtime fans and even new fans just discovering the band may feel confused and/or cheated.A big part of why the Allmans "got boring" in the late 90's (Betts was fired this decade) was that they didn't realease any new studio albums, which reflected on their subsequent unimaginative and stale set lists. The second best era and incarnation of the band was with Allen Woody and Warren, and back then, the Allmans released a lot of good studio albums.

NewRider Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I guess it's best left they stay in their separate corners.Agreed. Though I would love to see Dickey play with them again he does GREAT with Great Southern and the Brothers have been rockin'. Live and let live.

Freak By Night Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 when did the allmans play bluesfest? July 11th 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 No. A much bigger part of why he was fired is because he was getting facking drunk as hell and screwing up while playing. I mean, badly screwing up. I had a bunch of tapes from that era and got rid of them. He was falling apart at the seams even when Woody and Haynes were in the mix. I still recall this NY State gig in 93 or 94 and he is playing some of the sloppiest guitar I have ever heard. He even tried to speak a few times in between songs ("Love seeing all you people out there" banter) and he was slurring his words worse than a 2am Badams at Stages.
