Butch Trucks on his Allman Brothers Band best and worst memories

Archive #28 goes back to 2009 when The Allman Brothers Band were celebrating their 40th anniversary with 15 shows at The Beacon Theater in NYC. Butch Trucks (R.I.P) was also launching Moogis (live performance streaming website) around that time and was doing promotion for it. I was kinda sad as I listened to the whole file digging this archive as Butch told me at some point (not included here) that he had the plan to retire in France (more specifically to a house he bought in the Languedoc area) where he could just ride horses, write books, play music with some people and just take it easy…tragic he took his own life in 2017 and heartbreaking to listen to those words nowadays… The Moogis part of the interview is now a bit irrelevant so I decided only to include here the part in which Butch talks about the inception of The Allman Brothers Band, his best memories and to the opposite dealing with Duane Allman’s death and Dickey Betts demons. We also talked about why the band chose to play with 2 drummers and the chemistry he had doing so with Jaimoe. R.I.P Butch Trucks, Gregg Allman, Duane Allman, Berry Oakley, Allen Woody, Dan Toler and David Toler. The Allman Brothers Band music lives on forever !
