You were thinking BÖC
Weren't you?
But I am thinking how Robbie and all those dudes in that band called the Band might be in the mix that influenced Eric,Buck ..

The Band influenced many for sure. Got to see Levon with his own band at New Orleans Jazz Fest about a dozen years ago. A treat.
I think the Allmans impressed/influenced/inspired a young BOC band…not positive on The Band.

We dug The Band for sure, but I don't think they influenced our direction much. I saw Levon's band in Clearwater the later 2000's. Allmans definitely.

Never read anything about them saying they were ever influenced by the Band that I can recall.... they did support them once, though, in May 1969:  This was Les's last Stony Brook gig with the SWU (their final gig with him was at Wells (Aurora) not too long after this)... BTW: EB always says in interviews he took on the vocal role in April '69, but this shows the earliest it could have been would be around mid-May or so... Attachments:
