The Allman Brothers Band

Re-posting this with some additional details...

When Gregg Allman (1947-2017) passed nearly seven years ago, I was driven to the negative archive to see if I had any decent shots of the man. I had attended at least two concerts in 1979, as I recall, which would put these images in the Enlightened Rouges time period. I was not thrilled with the quality of the negatives I found, but I was glad to have them nonetheless.

Gregg used his Hammond B-3 with Leslie speaker, of course, but what one sees above is an electric piano with “Hohner” printed thereon. In addition to Gregg, there are three other original members of the band playing during this time period—Dickey Betts, who can be seen playing his Gibson Les Paul, as well as both drummers: Jai Johanny Johanson (Jaimoe) and Butch Trucks.

In the end, one can say that Gregg Allman certainly had an interesting life, with extreme highs and lows. Musically, he had a unique voice and wrote some very memorable songs. The band, which Gregg and his talented brother Duane formed in 1969, was extremely influential and enjoys a firm place in the history of rock and roll. Duane is often to be found on lists of "best guitarists" of course—he was an unusual talent, to be sure.

The close-up of Gregg was taken in Indianapolis at Market Square Arena on May 26th 1979. The other two: the Band from afar, with the second highlighting Dickey, were shot at Alpine Valley, near East Troy, Wisconsin, on August 18th 1979.

Hello! My name is Blaise and since January 2021 I've been writing many words about classic rock and pop music that I love or find interesting. The following is a complete master post compilation, collecting all the work I've ever written or created for this blog since I first started in January 2021.

Ranting and Raving

A series where I look extensively at one song that really interests me and share my thoughts about it. It's not limited to any one kind of song, so it could be about any song that exists in time and space. It's also not a series with a rigid schedule. Organized from newest to oldest.

Playlists

I like making playlists and enjoy sharing them (don't we all?) All of them follow a specific theme of some kind and all of them have both Spotify and Youtube versions available!

The Record Connection's Top Thirty Hit Songs of 1981 - “Exploring the strange year of 1981 by choosing 30 of the best representatives from Billboard’s Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1981”

The Record Connection's Top Forty Hit Songs of 1978 - "This time around we’re exploring the underrated year of 1978! A simpler yesteryear when disco ruled and a lot of great pop and rock music enjoyed popularity! These forty songs, which are the best representatives from Billboard’s Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1978, will help take us back in time!"

Colour My World - "Inspired by the colors of the rainbow. The songs included all have colors in the title, except for “Fancy Colours” and “Colour My World” by Chicago, which were added in order to reinforce the positivity of the theme."

Aboard a Tidal Wave: An Ode to The Beach Boys in the Seventies - "An exploration and showcase of The Beach Boys’ work in the 70s. While they were no longer hitmakers starting with this decade, they were still a creatively ambitious and wildly interesting group. This playlist honors and salutes that."

The #Shitpost Tag

Every dumb post and silly meme I've ever made and posted on this blog can be found here.

(This silly image I made in three minutes is an example of what you'll find in that tag. It also had the honor of being reblogged and tagged as a "certified Beatles post," an accolade I don't take for granted).

I will keep updating this post as time goes on! If you like what you see, I hope you stick around! Also, please feel free to get in touch! Send an ask, send a message (even if it's just to say hello!) I'd love to hear from you!

My biggest writing weakness has always been conclusions, so I'll just say: Thanks for poking your head in and looking around. I hope you enjoy your stay and have a nice day. :)

Queens of the Stone Age Keep Rock Alive on Saturday Night at Forest Hills Stadium

Queens of the Stone Age – Forest Hills Stadium – August 12, 2023

It was a fitting match for the old tennis grounds of Forest Hills, the Queens of the Stone Age in the heart of Queens. Saturday night brought along its summer best calm-before-the-storm weather, frontman (and rock elder statesman) Josh Homme giving the gathering crowd a queen-like wave, with a new gray beard that comes to a fine point. The greeting followed a welcoming kickoff run-through of the now classic “No One Knows,” the buoyancy of its impish guitar riffs setting the stage for the performance to come. 

It's hard to position Homme’s charisma without pointing out how lacking it is from other rock bands, especially of late. The man is equal parts performer and musician, as apparent as ever on “Smooth Sailing,” Homme channeling the song’s lurching drive and launching an angular guitar solo as if he were wrestling a snake. The stop-and-start drive of “My God Is the Sun” felt like someone driving a car with one foot on the gas and the other on the brake. With wind gusts picking up around the same time, the thick smoke coming from machines was pulled into a tight breeze running across the stage. “Sometimes you love and sometimes you lose, and that’s OK,” said Homme, introducing “Emotion Sickness,” off their latest, In Times New Roman…. The tune put all three guitarists to work with dueling guitar riffs and three-part harmonies. 

The best Queens of Stone Age songs come with heel-turn shifts in momentum. “If I Had a Tail” began pop-flavored before getting sucked into a noise-rock black hole. On “I Sat by the Ocean” Homme pulled out a glass slide, making it sound syrupy. The band’s current iteration is thick with guitar heavy hitters — and put to good use: A breakdown at the end of “The Way You Used to Do” sounded Allman Brothers-eque with guitars doubling up on each other and harmonizing. Homme polled the audience to see which new song, “Made to Parade” or “Time & Place,” they preferred, with the former eking out the win. It featured some of his best soloing of the night, hard to believe it was left to audience democracy on whether it would be played. The slow-burning QOTSA classic “Better Living Through Chemistry” followed, pausing before dropping and plowing through a final path of destruction. Next, the hard-hitting new single “Paper Machete” served as something of a resurrection.

Homme conducted a sensual sing-along for “Make It wit Chu,” having groups of the audience trade off the chorus before blues-riffing the song to a climax. “We’re not doing a fake encore where we make you clap for us, we want to stay out here with you,” he said. Forgoing the traditional encore, Queens of the Stone Age remained for three more: After “Little Sister” and “Go with the Flow,” the frontman offered, “Wait ’til you see what we have for you” as an introduction to “A Song for the Dead.” It brings such a relentless take-no-prisoners momentum, one would think the band would have welcomed a break to catch a sip of water before launching into the finale. One would also hope this song is exactly what dying feels like, with the brain spilling out every feel-good chemical it has as it sends the soul through an all-encompassing tunnel of sound and light. With the stage lights barraging the venue with flashes of white, the track deteriorating into noisy guitar feedback, it was a perfect end to the show. Rock ain’t dead — and even if it’s dying, being near death happens to sound fucking awesome. —Dan Rickershauser | @D4nRicks
