Sorry to hear it. His input on those first five or six ABs was part of the force.

This is truly tragic news. I'm really saddened. What a huge loss. I'm glad I saw him play.
Wow is all I can say. RIP Butch. I'm a huge Allman Brothers fan.

I saw the Allman Brothers multiple times in the 90's, and they always put on a great show. RIP Butch
He and his band were going to be here in April. Another great loss. RIP Butch.
The older I get, the better I was.
I saw the Allman Brothers on their last tour before firing Dickey Betts. It was a great show. RIP Butch Trucks.

I am glad I got to see him play as part of the mighty Allman Brothers Band rhythm section.
Rest in peace, Butch Trucks. First Jaki, now Butch. And the beat goes off.
We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
RIP Butch, the uncle of Derek Trucks current guitarist of ABB, and drummer of ABB.
Sad news , I actually downloaded a show from Butch Trucks & The Freight Train band that took place on Jan. 3rd 2017.
RIP Butch!
RIP, Mr Trucks.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
BUMMER!!!!!!!!!

RIP Butch. Such an integral part of one of America's greatest live acts.
I was playing ABB early this morning but my wife had a headache and started complaining about "too many notes". I guess I have an excuse to go back and play some more now.
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart
Caught the Brothers in '78 at MSG my first time. Dozen or so times since; easy enough as they'd hit the Beacon every year for a nice long run till they called it a day.
R.I.P. Butch

"I have nothing to do with Endless River. Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip." - Roger Waters, 2014
"I'm a collector. And I've always just seemed to collect personalities." - David Bowie, 1973
That Fillmore live material is another example of that word 'transcendental'. Brothers And Sisters is also one I listened to a lot when I first got it. RIP.
So sad... RIP.
Sorry to hear this. I caught his band last summer. He played with a lot of energy!
Totally speechless. Anyone know the cause? I've been an ABB fan since I was 12. RIP Butch. Jam with Duane and Berry.
Also a huge ABB fan since a little tyke. Rest with Duane and Berry brother.

"MARKLAR!"
He was one of those guys you just think would play on forever. I consider myself fortunate to have seen many ABB shows from 1991 on. A consummate musician. This one was a total punch in the gut for me. Almost as bad as losing Chris Squire.
