I noticed recently that this site gets a lot of hits from people looking for the movie "Please Call Home".
"From 1970 to 1973, the Allman Brothers Band called the Tudor-style mansion on Vineville Avenue in Macon, GA, their home. “The Big House,” as it came to be known, quickly became the communal hub for the band, their family and friends, and that magical era is brought back to life in the long-awaited DVD release of Please Call Home: The Big House Years. This wonderful film, shot in stunning Hi-Def, captures all the joy and sorrow, triumphs and tragedies that the Allman Brothers Band experienced under the roof of the Big House."
Allman Brothers, new footage, me wantee! Until now I've had difficulty finding out what happened to the movie as it seemed to just drop off the face of the planet. Given the number of "Please Call Home" related hits I was getting I did some more digging and I just found out this morning that the film is available for purchase on region-free DVD.
For those interested, follow the "Buy DVD" link from the movie's website, here. I've placed my order already, so hopefully I'll get to finally see it soon!

hmm - never heard of it let along searched for it... :-)
I don't remember how I first heard of it, but it was one of those documentaries that piqued my interest because it might give a sense of what it was like to be in a band like the Allman Brothers, back in the day. I'm certain it's 100% aimed at rabid fanboys... like me :-)
Still my favorite blog.
