AUDIO: Dan Herbeck on infamous Allman Bros murder in Buffalo

Morning Bull is celebrating the “Most Shocking Moments in Buffalo History” all week long.  If it made headlines at a concert in Buffalo, it’ll be covered this week on 97 Rock.

 

Starting things off is Dan Herbeck of the Buffalo News, who critiqued concerts along with his news reportage for the paper.  He recapped this infamous story back in the ’90’s for the News, on the incident’s then 25th anniversary.

 

When the Allman Brothers were just starting out, they had a weekend of dates at Hertel Avenue’s Aliotta’s Lounge.  After a dispute over payment, Allman’s roadie Twiggs Lyndon fatally stabbed club owner Angelo Aliotta in May of 1970.

 

Lyndon served time in a mental institution, but never did prison time for the crime.  He continued to roadie until his death in a skydiving accident in 1979.

Here’s a pic of Rob with Gregg Allman when he shared the stage with them in the early ’80’s.
