Allman Brothers Band Cincinnati 7-20-2005

> Hey Y'All,

> After a short visit home to work with Chris on building a retaining wall at the house, it's back to work in Ohio. I landed in Dayton and headed south to meet Jeff T. for the show. The other special note for this date, is it is Mark Brut's Birthday!!! We set up in about the 12th row DFC. Our neighbors were very cool, and I was definately not the oldest one in the crowd tonight! Moe came on at about 6:30 and played a very tight 90 minute set. They kicked it off with a nice Mexico, always a crowd favorite. Other highlights were The Faker and Lost Along the Way. I was hoping Warren might come out for a song, but not tonight.

> The Bros kicked it off with Don't Want you No More> Ain't my Cross to Bear. I was surprised to see Midnight Rider next, very early in the set. Another smokin' Egypt, with twin lead guitar breaks. The Rockin' Horse was stellar! Revival in the middle of the set was very nice. The Statesboro was not as good as the Toledo show, but they went back into it for a reprise.I was very happy to see the Les Brers to end the set. It stretched out about 30 minutes with the drum solo in the middle. With moe. opening, we were relegated to 1 long set due to time restraints. It was exactly 2 weeks from the last time I saw the Bros. I was hoping for a Whippin' Post, Stormy Monday, or Dreams. The opener and the encore were exactly the same as 2 weeks ago, plus several other repeats. The dual slide leads on Southbound were excellant. The playing was better and the crowd was up for the most part all show, unlike Toledo where ushers were actually asking folks to sit down. Good seeing fellow tapers Doug, Lee, and Tom (where was Pete?). Good hangin' with Jeff, Christy, Dan and Michelle, Pete D., and Brownie!

> Rabbi vs. Pope
>
> Several centuries ago, the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to convert or
> leave Italy. There was a huge outcry from the Jewish community, so
> the Pope offered a deal. He would have a religious debate with the leader of
> the Jewish community. If the Jews won, they could stay in Italy, if the Pope
> won, they would have to leave.
>
> The Jewish people met and picked an aged but wise Rabbi Moishe to
> represent them in the debate. However, as Moishe spoke no Italian and the
> Pope spoke no Yiddish, they all agreed that it would be a "silent" debate.
> On the chosen day, the Pope and Rabbi Moishe sat opposite each
> other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three
> fingers. Rabbi Moishe looked back and raised one finger.
>
> Next, the Pope waved his finger around his head. Rabbi Moishe pointed to the
> ground where he sat. The Pope then brought out a communion wafer
> and a chalice of wine. Rabbi Moishe pulled out an apple. With that, the Pope
> stood up and declared that he was beaten, that Rabbi
> Moishe was too clever, and that the Jews could stay.
>
> Later, the Cardinals met with the Pope, asking what had happened.
> The Pope said, "First, I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He
> responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there is still only one
> God common to both our beliefs. Then, I waved my finger to show him
> that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground to
> show that God was also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and wafer
> to show that God absolves us of all our sins. He pulled out an apple to
> remind me of the original sin. He had me beaten and I could not continue."
>
> Meanwhile the Jewish community were gathered around Rabbi Moishe.
> "How did you win the debate?" they asked. "I haven't a clue," said Moishe.
> "First he said to me that we had three days to get out of Italy, so I gave
> him the finger. Then he tells me that the whole country would be
> cleared of Jews and I said to him, we're staying right here." "And then
> what?" asked a woman."Who knows?" said Moishe, "He took out his lunch, so I took out mine."
