i just saw the allman brothers band at red rocks. holy crap it was such a good concert. first off, they had this great (local? either way it was no name) opening act (cant remember name, will get it tomorrow). They were kinda jazzy, motly kick ass. The leader played sax, flute, and sang. the abb did an insane15 minute rendition of whipping post, an awesome version of dreams, and a 35 minute song with guitar solos, drum solos, bass solos, flute solos, and a piano solo by a blind guy! they did a 3 hour set and the first band did 1 hour. they finished it all off with an awesome layla (i didnt know why till my dad told me that Duane Allman had been in derek and the dominoes). well worth the 45 bux (my dad and i wanted to be closer, but the closer seats have been sold out since june). The guitar work of Warren hayes and Derek trucks is insane, and the way they compliment eachother is beautiful. it was basically 3 hours of awe inspiring guitar work.
