I’m gonna spam the thread, Allmans are in my top 3 favorite bands.

One of my favorite shows. Jerry and Billy from the Dead sit in the latter part of the show and it’s basically one big instrumental jam since they were all dosed. Butch Trucks couldn’t finish so Billy had to take over.


Earlier that same year the Dead and the Bros played a few shows together, including at RFK stadium. The third set features Dickey and Butch, starting from It Takes a Lot to Laugh through to the end. And the first two sets are some typically stellar 73 Dead.
