Me too. I saw him at The Forum, a way too big venue, but I have the memory of it. Being in L.A., with so damn many people, they had to make multiple dates in large venues. Shit! Linda Ronstadt sold out two weeks of the Universal Amphitheater. She wouldn't play in those fucking football stadiums, anymore. That amphitheater was great, only 5 thousand people and not enclosed.
I'm pretty sure I never saw him. But then I saw most of the shows I saw in my Navy years (early 80's), and the term drink like a sailor has it's roots in fact.

But before and after the Navy, I saw shows in Panama City, Tally or Dothan Alabama. All over crowded civic centers with bad acoustics. Most of the acts coming through were southern rock bands.

Man, I really loved Southern Rock. Still do, if I get over the implications.

Other than the Brothers, I listen to very little southern rock from that era. I got burned out on the 38specialization of the genre.

Right. I'll listen to the Allmans forever, because I'm a blues guy, but I used to like Atlanta Rhythm Section, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, (though I cannot tolerate him anymore), but I don't go back to those, anymore. It just don't drive me like it used to. It's past tense.

Yea, those are the bands that made the rounds in my neck of the woods. I saw ARS and MTB several times and CDB once. I saw most of the southern rock bands of the era and loved them. My taste have changed. Can't really stand most of it today.

But guys like these have aged better. (a chip off the Brother's block)

Never owned any Wet Willie, but "Everything that cha' do" has been in my head from the first time I heard it.
All the older heads that I knew growing up had the 1973 Dripping Wet live album in their collection. And the band was still getting airtime when I was a teenager. But I'm guilty of overlooking them today.

Sweet! I'm a big fan of Jimmy Buffett, too, (though I don't call myself a parrot head) also from Mobile.
