Back Where It All Begins: Celebrating The Allman Brothers Band

On April 15 and 16, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Jaimoe, Oteil Burbridge, and Marc Quiñones will regroup as The Brothers at New York's Madison Square Garden. Five years after their only other show under that name, the longtime collaborations will be joined by fellow Allman Brothers Band alum Chuck Leavell as well as Joe Russo, Reese Wynans and Isaac Eady. In celebration, we look back at some of our favorite conversations with the Allmans during the past 25 years.

All My Friends Part I: Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks and Oteil Burbridge Remember Gregg Allman

Some of my fondest memories are of us writing songs together. He was a rare, old-school individual, who was never in a hurry to finish a song. If it didn’t look like it was going to be finished today, then maybe we could look at it tomorrow— and if it didn’t look like it was meant to be finished tomorrow, then maybe we’d look at it next week.
