The Allman Brothers Band - Full Concert - 05/14/82 (OFFICIAL) The "Allman Brothers" at that time were:
Gregory Lenoir "Gregg" Allman - lead vocals, organ, acoustic guitar
Dickey Betts - lead vocals, lead guitar, slide guitar, acoustic guitar
Butch Trucks - drums
David "Rook" Goldflies - bass
Mike Lawler - pianos, synthesizers, clavinet
"Dangerous" Dan Toler - lead guitar, rhythm guitar
David Frankie Toler - drums
Later, the legendary Warren Haynes (formerly of the "Grateful Dead" and still leader of the "Gov't Mule," no small feat) would join the band to add his touch with electric, rhythm, lead & slide guitars.
The only founding member of the group still alive is the eighty-one-year-old former drummer Jay "Jaimoe" Johannson.
Butch Trucks passed away on January 24, 2017, by suicide, followed on May 27 of the same year by Gregg Allman, who had been ill for some time with pancreatic cancer. Howard Duane Allman, guitarist (his older brother), died in a motorcycle accident on October 29, '71, at only 25 years old. A year later, almost at the same spot, bassist Raymond Berry Oakley III lost his life in a head-on collision with a bus, hitting his head on the pavement; he was just 24.
In 2018, Dickey Betts suffered a stroke that forced him to permanently end his music career; he died six years later at 80 due to lung disease.
