Analogman Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 So much for the last show talk: Although the Allman Brothers Band has announced it will stop touring after next month's Beacon dates, the Wanee Festival will carry on with the ABB - and now you know the dates so you can save them on your calendar: April 16, 17 and 18, 2015!

worldrecordplayer Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Jambase post doesn't seem to indicate the Allmans are playing: "Even though it appears the Allmans will play the final shows of their 45-year career late next month, Wanee will continue in 2015."

mountain bed Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 On Your Feet Or On Your Knees is the greatest live record of all time. 1974 I think.Man I need to get back here more often. I love that record to death, but it doesn't make my top 10. Top 20 yes, but I respectfully disagree with #1. Fillmore East might be the best, if (IMO) it wasn't for the first 35-40 minutes of QMS's Happy Trails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk That's what I am now wondering. Maybe this is a typo. Or it is going to be one of those "all star jam" type of things. will carry on with the ABB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 From ABB Facebook page: Here's the link to the Wanee Festival site for 2015:http://www.waneefestival.com/ And to be clear, the ABB is not performing at Wanee 2015 - but the festival is happening. Save the dates, April 16, 17 and 18 2015! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 I see. "Carry on with the ABB" was probably a line to sell tickets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm going on October 21, rescheduled show from March, also happens to be my birthday. First saw them in 1973, thought Lockn' would be the last one when we got those tickets, but now "this will be the last time". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RaspberryJam Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'm happy to say that my ticket found a home with someone here, but I'd love to hear if anyone else is making any of the Beacon shows. I have a terrible case of envy toward anyone going, one for the books, for sure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'm getting on the Acela from Boston tomorrow for the show. Show rescheduled from March. Only catching this one show, this will be the last one for me. Thought Lockn' was going to be it when we bought our tickets, which was before they announced the Beacon shows. Been riding this train since soon after the Fillmore album came out, saw them for the first time in '73 at Nassau Coliseum, hoping I go out strong tomorrow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dagwave Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Yes! That lucky soul would be me- thanks rj! Can't wait to see the Allmans - I've always loved them (truth: mostly a Fillmore/ Dreams guy), but stepped off the bus when the road was getting muddy with issues, band changes, etc. In the late 80's I did favor Mountain Jam on the college bar jukebox, primarily because I could get my 25 cents worth while enjoying the groans that my julebox cblock brought from some of the patrons. Have always been a huge Warren Mule fan, so when Derek also came on board, you could tell the momentum was pointing skyward. Most everything I've heard in the last 7-10 years has sounded fantastic. Still, I've never seen them live. I can't express how fortunate I am to get the chance with a killer Saturday night seat at the Beacon. Haven't been there since the Nov/ Dec Phil and Friends (with Warren) run in 2001. Starting tomorrow in Nashville and finishing Saturday at the Beacon. This quite possibly may be the greatest live music week in my 48 years. Yes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RaspberryJam Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 My friend who was there for both nights so far said that Wednesday night was way better than Tuesday night, musically. She also mentioned that Gregg was frail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She also mentioned that Gregg was frail.Gregg appeared same at Newport late summer as well. However his vocals were spot on his band had their moments.Of course Gregg's band is not 1/2 as good as the ABB. been to many a show in the last 20 / every trip Boston in the last decade.I'm so dam glad I took my kids ; late teen and early 20s to see them last yr!

worldrecordplayer Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Last show tonight, wish I was there. What a run of shows I could have in NY this week, Allmans at Beacon Monday and Tuesday, Wilco at Cap Theater Tues, Wed and Thurs. Then Phil and Friends at the Cap Friday and Saturday (with Nels on Saturday) http://www.jambase.com/Articles/123159/Video-CBS-This-Morning-Profiles-Allman-Brothers-Band Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dagwave Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I had the great fortune to attend Saturday's show. The band was a bit slow coming out of the gates, but starting heating up 1/2 way through the set and never stopped. Gregg did indeed look frail, as I watched him entering venue (and Warren) on side street. He left the stage for most of Elizabeth Reed in the second set. The show was great overall- incredible Jessica with a snippet of Will the Circle be Unbroken (theme for the beacon run). Also a fantastic Into the Mystic dedicated to Bill Graham on the anniversary of his death. Lastly, Politician thrown into Elizabeth Reed as a Jack Bruce tribute and a sweet double encore. Watching Warren and Derek jam was an amazing experience- the two of them w/ Oteil really propel the band to crazy heights. I enjoyed the second set from the floor and at times was able to get 5/6 rows center before being shooed from the aisle. Met some super people as well. hope tonight goes well - last nights reviews were strong- i'll be staying up to monitor setlist and read today that tonight's show will be replayed in a couple of days on Sirius.
