No. 12 – Allman Brothers Band Motorcycle Accidents

loading...

What are the odds of this? Almost exactly one year after Allman Brothers Band guitarist Duane Allman was killed on Oct. 29, 1971, in a motorcycle accident in Macon, Georgia, bassist Berry Oakley died in another motorcycle crash just a few blocks away. Duane's crash happened right after the classic 1971 ABB double-live album 'At Fillmore East' -- considered by many his shining moment as a guitarist -- was certified gold.
