Karloff Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Next month I'm heading to Scranton, Pa. for the 3 day Peach Festival. Right now, I'm actually wondering, "what was I thinking ?" signing onto a 3 day music festival, I'm decades past ever dealing with a music festival... when it's all said and done, i know i'll be glad i was there, especially since this tour is it for the Allman Brothers. Any one else here going to the Festival ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I won tickets off the radio last year. Of course it was only for Saturday's lineup. My buddy and I drove 4 hours up to Scranton Friday night and got a flea-bag hotel room. It was a great festival though. The three biggest acts were Government Mule, Bob Wier and Rat Dog, and The Allman Brothers. Plus a bunch of other bands I had never heard of playing on different stages. Have a good time this year.

rct Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 No, it isn't just you. Peaches and Nectarines are nearly interchangeable, with Peaches having the fuzz, and Nectarines not having that gene, so no fuzz. The two have been bred for decades to produce less fuzz on a Peach, because somebody decided it was unsightly. Of course, a side effect of it is longer life on a train or a truck and absolutely no flavor whatsoever. When Eat A Peach For Peace meant something, the peaches they spoke of are something that kids today probably would not even recognize. I wish they had gotten it together for their last year. I remember years of tours when they didn't touch that record. Enjoy the show, Warren and Derek are great players. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the good fortunate to see them at the Fox theatre in Atlanta years gone by. Really can't recall the entire evening,so it must've been good. As for the genetically manipulated peaches,I find cardboard an acceptable substitute,as you so rightly stated Sir,0 flavor. Absolutely the best fruit and veggies over the past years I have eaten were the ones we received from Turkish sources while in the O.I.F. theatre.Juicy,freestone peaches and tomatoes to cry for. I still find Peach festival in Pa. a tad outta place,bein a Southerner an all... Let there be rock,er Southern rock that is. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karloff Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 my daydream is that Betts strolls out at some point, but i don't think thats gonna happen. Blackberry Smoke will be there. Really looking forward to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 my daydream is that Betts strolls out at some point That would be awesome and I hope that happens for all of those people there to see them. "irretrievably broken" was what he called it about two years after they ended. If he comes out and does Blue Sky give him a big kiss for me. This here CFMartin I bought last month has been getting a Little Martha workout since I brought it home, and I hope them two do it justice. I've seen Dickie do it himself, I am glad of that. Stand Back is one I've never seen them do, that would be a treat, but with, well, you know. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aster1 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I was very disappointed in the Georgia Peaches this year. Wish I could get a "lug" of some Illinois peaches from down around Cairo (Mississippi river town). Colorado peaches still have pretty heavy fuzz (always had about the toughest beards I guess). Oh yeah, BTW, have a good time at the festival. And eat some good taste'n peaches if ya can. Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always loved how Betts and Haynes played together. Thought it was the best since Duane ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
