The Allman Brothers Band singer and co-founder was laid to rest Saturday afternoon at a private funeral in Macon, Georgia, and afterwards ABB drummer Jaimoe Johanson and bass player Berry Oakley Jr. — son of late Allmans bass player Berry Oakley — joined Allman’s solo band music director Scott Sharrard and percussionist Mark Quinones, among others, for a four-hour jam at the Allmans official museum, The Big House, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Variety posted a clip of the band wailing its way through “Stormy Monday.”

“They all played for Gregg,” Allman’s manager Michael Lehman, told the Journal-Constitution on Sunday. “It was a true celebration of his music and his legacy.”
