The Tribune-Democrat of Johnstown, Pennsylvania reports that Allman's
performance on Saturday at the AmeriServ Flood City Music Festival may
have been one of the last chances for fans in the region to see Allman
and his band, The Bridge.
The newspaper says Jambands.com reports that the 64-year-old Allman will
require several days of hospitalization and four to six weeks of bed
rest. Allman suffers from an upper respiratory condition. The paper also
says The Bridge is breaking up at the end of the year because of
financial difficulties.
Festival marketing manager Shelley Johansson says, "It just makes me
more grateful that he was here and put on such a wonderful performance."

I appreciate this info, but I'm not thrilled about the subject header.
Greg is still alive. And I'm sure he will be back on that very stage
kicking ass in the near future.
The Allmans played an amazing show on 7/27/11 as a Hep C benefit with
Crosby, Nash, Phil Lesh, Natalie Cole and Billy Gibbons. It was on
Sirius live.
Great stuff.
Thanks to some posters I know, it's here:
