HH912

ABB was my 1st concert when I was 13 or14 (circa 95), and have seen them approximately 12 times since. I have seen them with dickey and warren, dickey and Jack, dickey and Derek, Derek and jimmy and Derek and warren. They all sounded very different in styles especially slide. For example the early 90s sounded a lot edgier with warren on slide and woody on bass. The last line up was more jazzy and experimental with Derek maturation and exploration. What was your favorite line up musically (post 89 revival), and why? (By musically I mean take out drama and personal beefs - strictly performance).

Edit date of 1st show was 9-3-95

Awesome! Would love to hear your thoughts on that show and any suggestions if there is another one of that run you recommend :)

Funny thing - my first concert ever too. We were in the lawn and my dad turned to me and asked if I knew what that smell was. LOL he still teases me about that moment.

Ps. If you've never listened to it, check out 7-13-05 at Columbus. Not a dickey/warren show, but one I was at. Absolutely incredible. Start and end with mountian jam. School girl was great, best intro to hoochie coochie man I have ever heard, and dreams is face melting. Nothing beats this band especially when they are cooking. I listen to a lot of shows, but this is one I always go back to. I pinch myself in disbelief I was there in person.

Ps - loved one way out. Need to get the paperback so I can read the last chapter now that it's over!

My dad did! I was starting to get into the blues and 60s music and he thought I would enjoy it. Let's say it was life changing. As someone who started playing drums at 10 seeing jaimoe, Marc and butch was as revelation. Life should not be lived in just 4/4. :). Warrens slide ruined me. Nothing beats his playing or tone back then for me. It was the next step in the evolution of blues. I also love early mule for the same reason. I'll never for get that show too.
