Allman Brothers Tickets Information
The original Allman Brothers bandmates were:
-
Greg Allman on vocals and organ
-
Duane Allman on lead guitar and slide guitar
-
Dickey Betts on lead guitar, rhythm guitar, and vocals
-
Berry Oakley on bass
-
Butch Trucks and Jai Johanny “Jaimoe” Johnson on drums
And go on they did, adding Dickey Betts to the lineup. A year after the next new member, Chuck Leavell, joined the band on piano, Berry Oakley died in a tragic motorcycling accident too, just three blocks from where Duane Allman lost his life. The Allman Brother album being produced at the time all this tragedy was taking place, Eat the Peach, was named after the cargo being carried in the truck Duane Allman swerved to avoid hitting when he lost control.
From there, The Allman Brothers Band underwent a string of parallel triumphs and challenges, as they churned out one successful album after another while dealing with all sorts of adversity, not least of which was each other. They had several breakups and reunions. The band lineup underwent many changes over the years until winding up with its current group, including Gregg, Butch, Jaimoe, along with:
-
Warren Haynes on guitar, slide guitar, and vocals
-
Marc Quinones on drums, percussion, and backing vocals
-
Oteil Burbridge on bass and vocals
-
Derek Trucks on guitar and slide guitar
