Allman Brothers Band at The Beacon - 2013

On Friday evening the Allman Brothers began a 11 night run at the Beacon Theater that has become an annual harbinger of Spring in the New York area.  Following last year’s residency, many in attendance felt that Gregg Allman’s tenure with the band was drawing to a close; he left the second to last night show late in the 2nd set because of pain from a bulging disc and could not appear at the last show at all, being replaced by Bruce Katz on organ with Warren Haynes picking up lead vocals.  On Friday night, in much better health, Allman sang strongly, in full voice as the entire Beacon joined him singing Midnight Rambler.

More than March madness, Spring training or early crocuses, to many New Yorkers the sure harbinger of spring is the Allman Brother’s multi-night run at the Beacon. Opening the show with a recording of  Bill Grahm’s introduction to the classic Filmore East concert of June 27th, 1971, the band covered songs both on the original record plus Midnight Rider, Statesboro Blues and Whipping Post from the 2006 live bonus release from that historic show.   In between the opening Trouble No More and rousing Whipping Post encore, the Allmans were joined for several songs by the Jukes horns, who played with the band through amazing covers of The Band’s It Makes No Difference, and, according to Haynes, Bill Grahm’s favorite tune, Van Morrison’s Into The Mystic.  A mid show accoustic set included a rare rendering of Duane Allman’s Little Martha.
