As is befitting to
someone who's contribution to the world of music is so great, there
will surely be many “tribute Shows” to Gregg Allman in the near
future. Jack Pearson turned his regularly scheduled monthly show at
3rd and Lindsley into one when he stepped up to the
microphone and dedicated his show to Gregg. The first song, very
appropriately, was Jack's “My Old Friend”.
Jack's years with the
Allman Brothers definitely impressed Gregg. For years Jack has been
Gregg Allman's “go to guy” for lead guitar work. Gregg said of
Jack: “There is no question that Jack is one of the most
accomplished cats I've ever played with”. The emotion that Jack
carried into this show made it one of his best. A peak emotional
moment was when Jack covered “Please Call Home”. There was more
than one tear that fell in the house during that. The connection
Jack has with Joshua Hunt on drums and Charles Treadway on the
Hammond organ was more evident than usual. They had obviously picked
up the vibe from Jack that made this show so heartfelt and special.
Thank you Jack, Joshua, and Charles for this evening of music in
remembrance of Gregg..
