The show was last night in Macon and featured Wet Willie, the Randall Bramblett Band, Brent Cobb, Marcus King, John Bell (Widespread Panic), Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke), Bonnie Bishop (very good looking - her new album is produced by Steve Jordan), the legendary Bonnie Bramlett, Berry Oakley, Jr., Jaimoe (Allman Brothers Band), Lamar Williams, Jr., Johnathan Edwards, and Duane Betts among others.

Highlights were Lamar and Bonnie Bishop singing Elvin Bishop's "Fooled Around And Fell In Love", Johnathan Edwards singing "Sunshine", Wet Willie's Jimmy Hall (a southern Mick) working the crowd on "Keep On Smiling", and all of the Allman Brothers' songs.

Statesboro Blues sang by Taj Mahal. He also sang Otis Redding's "Respect".

Duane and Tommy Talton played "Little Martha" on acoustic/dobro.

The finale of "Jessica" (Chuck and Duane really shined), "Whipping Post", and the encore of "Revival".

Other ABB songs included "Midnight Rider", "Dreams", and "Pony Boy"!

A southern music paradise.

Glad you got to go, and happy it was a good show!

(Don't mean to rhyme every time.....)

That's a nice mix of generations. Are they rebooting Capricorn? Hope this was professionally documented.

Thanks for the report.

Didn't even know about this. Glad you enjoyed it.

I’m a capricorn and could use some revival.

Yeah, Mercer University (my alma mater) bought the old Capricorn Studios and refurbished it. It will be used by up and comers as well as professionals. The label is not restarting though.

The show featured (mostly ) Capricorn music (ABB, WW, Marshall Tucker, etc.). A good mix of old and new.

Of course, the songs hold up well.

Im Cancerian and could use a lemon-squeezer ………….

Yes, it was. Johnathan Edwards also did "Shanty" - "put a good buzz on". It is a great song (ala Illegal Smile) that I had forgotten.

Thanks for posting!

You are welcome.

The show was at the Macon City Auditorium and sold out quickly (just a few minutes).
