May 7 - Trane/Eternity's Breath/St. Stephen Jam

The Allman Brothers Band spawned a great little power trio when guitarist Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody decided to start a little side project with drummer Matt Abts. Haynes and Woody left ABB in 1997 to focus on Mule, but Woody died in August 2000. The current lineup has Jorgen Carlsson on bass and also includes Danny Louis on keyboards (and guitar and trumpet when needed). It was this lineup that for Halloween 2008 played several Ping Floyd songs in the Phish tradition of wearing a musical costume. This was what drew me to them, and I love their versions of the Pink Floyd songs - but today, as I am focusing more on the jam band aspect of their music, I am playing one of the extended jams found in the first set. Trane segues into Eternity's Breath, which finally segues into St. Stephen, a Grateful Dead staple. All in one seamless jam. Enjoy!
