i asked my county library to order your book and they agreed to do so my plan is to speak at all montgomery county ohio locations spreading your message and keeping duane and dickey and berry oakley's work thriving is on track. i can't pull off a hat as well as you or am afraid of looking silly while wearing one but your book will be in at least one county in ohio. long live the ABB!
thank you! let them know I’m also a good draw as a speaker 🍄 ps: the hat was a transition from the baseball caps I’d worn from the 70s. my wife and daughters liked it so I went with it. 😎
Berry was in his own class, an amazing musician. Just a standard rock bassist, would never been able to keep up with Duane and Dickie. They were a unique force to be reckoned with.
Imagine being 14 years old in 1970, having just discovered the Allman Brothers Band and hearing Berry Oakley sing 'Hoochie Coochie Man' with THAT BAND as a tour de force delivering the power & groove behind his vocals.. It was truly an ethereal experience.
I like this video. I’ve been a fan of Barry since 1972. I think there is a very definite difference between Barry and Phil Leah and Jack Cassidy. Those two, to my ears, were more meandering and at times hit or miss. Barry was very purposeful and the notes he played seemed like accurate counterpoint. No wasted notes. Thank you for the video.
Ironic as it may be, one of the reasons I love the short lived live quintet recordings are because of the huge Berry Oakley bass presence. It's as if he's playing a rig that's somewhere between a six string and a bass. And it sounds exactly as described, he plays it like a guitar. Duane's death left a huge hole in the band, but as a quintet the ABB still sounded great.
ABBsolutely outstanding take. this is one reason I’m a huge fan of the 5 man band. Wrote about the latest release here www.longlivetheabb.com/p/the-best-damn-band-were-ever-gonna

Should read Berry.
right on! Lesh & Casady were his models, but B.O. was in a class of his own for sure.

Was Barry Oakley an "ear" player, or was he a musician that could read charts and sheet music, and play bass parts off sheet music ?
I think he was an ear player, though he may have had some formal training, it wasn’t much.
Wish he had gone to the hospital the day of his accident.
Wouldn't have mattered, the damage was done & couldn't be reversed. Numerous accounts verify this. Sad!!
