Saw this video about Duane Allman and the Allman Brothers Band, then I did some reading. And now Im tripping: -October 29th, 1970: Duane Allman suffered from a drug overdose, but the doctors thought he was too far gone to make it. Berry Oakley, the bands bassist, ran outside of the hospital, dropped to his knees, and begged God to give Duane a second chance at life, just one more year to enjoy life and play with them again. Not even moments later, the hysterical bassist was informed of a miracle; Duane was going to be okay. Duane survived and was back on the road within days, and the band continued playing shows. -October 29th, 1971, EXACTLY one year later: Duane Allman dies in a fatal motorcycle accident. He was 24 years old -November 11th, 1972, barely a year afterward: Berry Oakley dies in a fatal motorcycle accident. 3 blocks and 150 ft away from where Duane was killed. He was also 24 when he died. I need a moment.
