Moogis Returns

Allman Brothers Band drummer Butch Trucks will revive his Moogis webcasting service this summer. Moogis has been inactive since financial troubles prevented the company from webcasting The Allman Brothers Band’s 2011 Wanee Music Festival.

Moogis will now officially return for The Allman Brothers Band’s The First Annual Peach Music Festival, which is slated to take place in Montage Mountain, PA on August 10 and 11. The webcast will be free and Moogis will present an encore presentation of this show a few weeks later.

The site’s founders have also commented on 2011 subscribers whose service was cut short when Moogis went offline. A message reads:

In 2011, Moogis had hoped to stream that year’s Wanee Music Festival. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make that happen. But because of our involvement in this year’s Peach Music Festival, we are able to allow those who had subscribed to Moogis for the 2011 Wanee Festival to receive access to the Moogis Archives until March 1, 2013 at no charge.

These archives date back to the 2009 Beacon Run which was the Allman Brotheers Band’s 40th Anniversary featuring incredible guest artists. 2010 Archives feature the ABB at The United Palace in NYC for 8 shows. Also, included is The Wanee Music Festival from that year featuring performances by Stephen Stills, Dr. John, Bob Weir and many, many more. 2011’s archives include ABB’s Beacon Run. 2012’s Archives will include the Peach Music Festival and may include some material not included on the live stream.

Fans can also purchase a pass to watch the Moogis archives that will be good until March 1, 2013. Passes will cost $50.

Anything for Butch to make a buck!

What else has Butch done to turn a profit? I’m just asking, not being a smart ass. I thought the Moogis idea was flawed from the beginning, but does he have a history of being a profiteer? He used to get me backstage passes and always seemed pretty cool.

Butch thanks the best value I’ve ever had.

Greg and Butch both! Greg lied to his entire Fan base about paying $40 for a hand signed book that turned out to be an autopen!

During the 2009 Beacon run, I attended one live and watched the rest via Moogis. Regardless of anyone’s opinion of BT/GA – thanks to Moogis – I saw some of the most amazing shows ever. Plus, with Moogis, parking is cheaper, the drinks are better, the sound is amazing. Like being on stage.

How many people do you think have signed up for this? How much do you think the cameras, crew, and streaming equipment costs? they are probably not making that much, which is why they probably stopped the service because not too many people signed up for it and it was losing money. 50 bucks for all the shows included in this its not that bad. A used dvd costs about 10 bucks plus shipping. Seems more like a service to true fans than a money making scheme.

Also your an idiot ButchSucks. Do a little research. Gregg saw his faults and reacted very well. You can return the book you did not buy. http://www.allmanbrothersband.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=XForum&file=viewthread&tid=123919

Well for me Moogis is a wonderful product. We went through some tough financial times at the same time Moogis was born. We have been going to the Beacon for years and we did not have to miss any shows. In fact we used to do two per run and then we were at every show !!!!
This band kicks ass now just like the beggining and I thank Butch for delivering the live experience to my door.
I found Gregg’s book a great read. Got the book on my iPad and loved the interactive features. Obviously I love this band and am thrilled to death they are still hittin the note.

As a 22 year ABB fan I can’t be more pleased with the fact that it’s 12:10am on the first night of the Peach Festival broadcast and I haven’t missed a beat from the confines of my home in NC. Thanks Butch for such a great service and good luck making it profitable!

Thanks for everything, enjoyed the entire broadcast.
