worldrecordplayer Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Expanded Fillmore East set to be released, to include all four sets from 2 nights. Vinyl, cd and digital download. Not much info, but must be remastered to some degree to release the original unspliced versions of You Don't Love Me. I can never have too much of the Allmans at Fillmore East, so I'll be buying. http://www.jambase.com/Articles/121467/Allman-Brothers-Band-The-1971-Fillmore-East-Recordings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 I bet it will be one of those expensive record albums/cds/whatnot packages. Another one of the greatest live albums of all time is also getting the same treatment - Made In Japan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 WRP - here is this week's answer to your cancelled show: In a new interview with Radio.com Gregg Allman revealed that the Allman Brothers Band will play six Beacon shows in October to make up for the four that were cancelled following Allman’s battle with bronchitis. The new dates will take place during an eight-day span, including two sets of weekend shows and a pair of mid-week dates. However, the band will not play the rumored Madison Square Garden finale. “We decided that’s a bad idea. Of all the big rooms, [MSG’s] got the best sound, but nothing sounds like the Beacon.” He also reiterated that the Allman Brothers are not breaking up but rather replacing Derek Trucks. On current guitarists Warren Haynes and Trucks, Allman said: “It’s like this: No one is the ‘best.’ They’re all different. One is tiramisu, one is crème brûlée. They’re all just sexually delicious.” As far as his health, Allman says he is feeling “like a million” despite contracting a virus that coated his lungs with mucus, causing unnecessary stress on the heart. “They got me back to normal now,” Allman said. “They looked at my schedule ‘til the end of the year and they said, ‘No wonder, what are you, trying to kill yourself?’” Allman also said he’s started to get into juicing, health food and has gone vegan. “It’s not easy, man, to find enough to eat. It takes some getting used to! It ain’t biscuits and gravy.” He will also release a new live album with his new solo band cut from their show at the Grand Opera House in Macon, GA. Next up for the ABB is a slot at Mountain Jam on June 8. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 I think I read somewhere a while back that he had broken a wrist also. The dude seems determined to stay on the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plumplechook Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I think I read somewhere a while back that he had broken a wrist also. The dude seems determined to stay on the road. Yep - I turned up to see him a couple of weeks ago at the Enmore theatre here in Sydney - and he was a no-show. Promoter said the broken wrist he sustained a few months ago had flared up and he'd flown back to the US to get treatment. Govt Mule, who were the support, ended up playing the whole show - but a lot of folks, including me, took the refund that was offered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 He broke his wrist at Wannee when he fell off a golf cart. I think that's how the story goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 I guess that means Warren is still in the band. Which is odd - as I don't recall reading anything where he has stated that fact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Warren is leaving at the end of the year. He's been clear about that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 he's also been clear that he doesn't see himself as sexually delicious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Warren is leaving at the end of the year. He's been clear about that. It must be only in Gregg's mind that he is staying. I say that as he only talks about replacing Derek (or lately, anyhow). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I bet it will be one of those expensive record albums/cds/whatnot packages.

Analogman Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Made In Japan! Oh man I'll definitely shell out the cash for that. Many years ago I could have bought the UK/Japanese version of that album - all the shows on 3 cds for 20 bucks and did not buy it. I have the 1997 re-master. Anyhow - since there is no DP thread: Made In Japan 40th Anniversary Boxset. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 The Allman Brothers Band Announce Final Concerts Posted by: Rowland on Monday, June 02, 2014 - 08:00 AM GROUP RESCHEDULES FOUR POSTPONED BEACON THEATRE SHOWS IN NEW YORK CITY OCTOBER 21, 22, 24 & 25 AND ADDS TWO NEW BEACON SHOWS OCTOBER 27 & 28 BAND PERFORMED TWO SHOWS IN APRIL IN FLORIDA The ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND have announced their final plans: they have rescheduled dates for four shows at New York City’s Beacon Theatre that were postponed in March: Tuesday, 10/21, Wednesday 10/22, Friday, 10/24 and Saturday, 10/25. Tickets purchased for those sold-out shows (originally set for 3/25, 26, 28 & 29) will be honored on these dates for the corresponding days (see itinerary below). Fans unable to attend the rescheduled shows can return tickets for a refund at the point of purchase prior to August 1. Immediately following the four make-up dates, the ABB have announced the final shows for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group, which formed in 1969. These final ABB performances will also be at the Beacon Theatre October 27 and 28, a venue the band has played exactly 232 times since their annual tradition began there in 1989. On-sale information for the two newly-added shows will be announced in the near future. The current lineup of the band--founding members GREGG ALLMAN (vocals and keyboards), BUTCH TRUCKS (drums and tympani) and JAIMOE (drums) plus longtime members WARREN HAYNES (vocals, lead and slide guitar), DEREK TRUCKS (slide and lead guitar), OTEIL BURBRIDGE (bass) and MARC QUINONES (congas and percussion)--is, at 14 years, substantially longer than any other version of the band. The group returned to the stage in April with two shows at their 10th annual Wanee Festival in Live Oak, FL, where they played to an enthusiastic sea of fans each night. The ABB’s next concert appearance will be as the closing performer at this year’s Mountain Jam this Sunday, June 8 in Hunter, NY. The ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND will close the Lockn’ Festival in Arrington, VA on Sunday, September 7. Meanwhile, the band is gearing up for two nights of concerts as part of their very own PEACH FESTIVAL, August 14-17 in Northeast Pennsylvania. In its third year, PEACH FEST 2014 will feature artists including the ABB on two nights, Gov’t Mule, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band, Bob Weir & Ratdog, Trey Anastasio Band, Lotus, Big Gigantic, the Taj Mahal Trio, Blackberry Smoke, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, the London Souls and more.

jff Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Damn, no Georgia date? That doesn't seem right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 That's what a lot of people are saying. You would think they would do some multiple night run down there somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 All this time I always assumed the Peach Festival was in Georgia. Does any member of the band still live in Georgia? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 I think Gregg does. I am not sure about the rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Oteil was living in Atlanta for many years before joining the ABB. Not sure if he still lives here, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Gregg lives in Florida, I believe. And I think Oteil lives in CT, at least he used to. I was holding tickets for the Tuesday cancelled shows, now rescheduled to my birthday. I won't make it down again the following week for one of the "final" final shows, so that will be it for me. Lockn' first in September and then October 21 at the Beacon. Been seeing them pretty much regularly since 1973, with the exception of a couple years break after the Zak Wylde fiasco at Great Woods, I will miss seeing the Allman Brothers Band, no matter what else Derek, Warren and Gregg will be doing.

Analogman Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 I have to wonder now what all that BS that Gregg and Butch were putting out there was about. Of course it would not be a surprise to me if they came back with new members at some point in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course it would not be a surprise to me if they came back with new members at some point in the future.Nothing would surprise me, but that would surprise me. I chalk it up to age and the difficulty in facing the inevitable. I assume they have now come to terms with the inevitable. Time will tell I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 It's a also a shame they did not put out another album. There are some great songs on Hittin' The Note. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
