Allman Brothers Move Beacon Theatre Run

New York Times, broke the story yesterday in an interview with Gregg Allman that the Beacon Theatre will be booked with Cirque du Soleil, shows during the spring to summer. This means that the NYC run will not be at the Beacon but at the United Palace Theater in Washington Heights. Allman mentioned money might have been an issue in MSG's decision.

According to Gregg "one monkey don't stop no show"

Allman Brothers /WSP Jones Beach

The Widespread Panic set kind of bored me but the ABB set RIPPED. they played, Done Somebody Wrong, Les Bres in Am, Midnight Rider, Statesboro Blues, Revival, Stormy Monday, all the good old Duane songs. This show was "dedicated to a brother," meaning Duane and Trucks really channeled his energy and style sometimes. getting my videos off my phone soon. Some amazing jams, on Truck's part, Trucks is a hard solo to follow but Warren just pulled it off. they have complementary styles even though Trucks is really so much more fire. Driving home, the DJ on 104.3 played the entire 22 minute Whipping post off the Fillmore CD, then said "now you can't complain about radio!" I'm pretty sure the venue did not sell out and there were lot's of empty seats, mostly on the floor, though you need to show your ticket to get there and security gets kind of tight. pretty much anywhere else is fair game to sit though. I saw NO shadyness in the crowd, ABB and WSP is such a mellow vibe. The only thing I miss is no shakedown street, there were like 4 tents set up toward the back. I saw Truck's play last year at the Bear Creek Music Festival.

I'm almost ashamed to post these pictures of the shitty video we took at the Widespread/Allman Brothers show. But it's what I got, oh yeah, for better or worse the tanks were out in full effect, everyone seemed to be on their best behavior though, as we all have the internet now, even goons and wooks. I'm going to put together an ABB/WSP mix inspired by what Scott at Hidden Track put together. It will be the classic Allmans.
