And Derek Trucks threw out a rumour that Dickey may guest with the Brothers down the road.
those shows look insane. Taj Mahal showing up to do Statesboro. Wow. Lucky B going tonight, I read that tonight might be Clapton and Buddy Guy. Dickey was invited, Bonnie Bramlet has already rehearsed with them and so has Boz Scaggs...Butch Trucks did an interview and said most of this. I can't wait to hear Loan Me A Dime with Boz....Jackie Greene sings this with Phil's band and it kills but with Derek doing Duanes part I can only imagine how killer this will be.
tonight is trey and page (hence the "phriends" in initial post).
clapton is doing two nights next week and there are rumors it's going to be the entire layla sessions. half the first night, the other half the next night.
Quote3/09 - Levon Helm, Taj Mahal
3/10 - Johnny Winter, Los Lobos
3/12 - Trey & Page
3/13 - Boz Scaggs
3/14 - Chick Corea, Lenny White, and possibly Stanley Clarke
3/16 - John Hammond, Bonnie Brownlett (or something close to that)
3/18 - Sheryl Crow
3/19 - Clapton
3/20 - Clapton
3/21 - TBD
3/23 - TBD
3/24 - Billy Gibbons, Sonny Landreth
3/27 - Gary Rossington, Ivan Neville, possibly Kid Rock
3/28 - Weir & Lesh
oooh....man, thats going to be killer to have trey and page sit in a few times.
some of my favorite shows still are those phil and friends ones with trey on the axe
I Imagine Susan Tedeschi will show up at some point...i'd rather see her than Sheryl Crow.
I read today that Buddy Guy was heard saying he was showing up to play with the Allmans at one of his shows last week. I'd kill to see that.
Quoteoooh....man, thats going to be killer to have trey and page sit in a few times.
Agree. Wish I was in NYC this evening.
What a shocker that Sheryl Crow is involved. Is there a festival, tribute or charity event that she hasn't been involved in? She should just fuck off.
Oh, and what fucking zoned-out hippy filled out that list?
It's Bonnie Bramlett, John Hammond Jr., Garry Rossington, Page (you'd think Wavy Gravy would be able to spell a member of Phish's first name) and Kid Rock.
I would love to be at the show with Bonnie Bramlett, they'll probably do a couple of tunes for Delaney.
last night was amazing. still trying to take in everything that happened.
wow. trey, page and BUDDY GUY!
QuoteSet 1: Little Martha (Derek and Warren), Trouble No More, Leave My Blues At Home, Who's Been Talkin', Black Hearted Woman/The Other One Jam/BHW, Can't Lose What You Never Had, The Sky Is Crying (w/ Buddy Guy), You Don't Love Me (w/ Buddy Guy), Southbound (w/Buddy Guy, Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell)
Set 2: I Know You Rider (w/Trey & Page), In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (w/Trey & Page), Dreams, Jessica > Drums > Jessica

well to start, there was no written setlist for the show. they were playing from the seat of their pants which makes it even more amazing, imo.
started out real solid, but by the time they got to 'bhw>the other one jam>bhw' there was already fire coming off derek's fingers. the kid is a true virtuoso. and then buddy FUCKING guy comes out for 'the sky is crying' and i literally thought the ceiling was going to cave in on us...and then to really just slap us all in the face another time trey and page come out with buddy FUCKING guy, still on stage to play southbound. video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wHnMWOSW3c
set break was great as most of the theatre had to be resuscitated.
second set opens with trey and page back and they go into 'rider', at which point i'm convinced i'm fast asleep dreaming, but i wasn't because it only got better. trey and page stay on stage for the best version of elizabeth reed mine ears have ever had the lucky opportunity to hear live. just amazing. trey and page shake hands and leave the stage to a nice ovation, to only have warren continue the face melting experience during 'dreams'. and from there it was into the 'jessica>drums>jessica' to close the set.
they came back out for a truly spirited encore of 'statesboro', and by the end of it you could tell everyone in the building, band included, had fully realized how special the last 2 1/2 hours were.
to say i was glad to be there would be a disservice to the entire night. i will not soon forget it.
Anyone making it to any of this years Beacon shows?!?

That is AWESOME, and I am extremely jealous.
5 friends and I just pulled the trigger on tickets for Friday 28th! Here's to one more great Beacon run :beer:
These last four beacon shows have been postponed for the time being due to Gregg's bronchitis. Pretty upsetting news, I feel especially bad for anyone traveling to NY and had already planned their trip. Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon.
Yeah, a bummer for sure, but not a big deal for me to cancel. I was just going to drive up for Sat-Sun. Had some fun things lined up with old friends but hopefully they'll pick a good weekend to reschedule and I'll get to see their last show at the Beacon after all.
Every year that I lived in NJ I always said I was going to make it to one of these. The year I actually bought tickets and was prepared to go was the one year they moved it from the Beacon. The show got cancelled bc of poor ticket sales I think. I was refunded my money and never got to go. Now I live too far away and it'll all be over and I never got to go. Boo me. :embarrassed:
I always told myself I'd get to one of those Beacon runs someday, but I never did, and I really should have after getting into travelling-for-shows shape. The end of it all is a bummer for sure, but I can live with the memories of the shows I did get to see, a bunch at Red Rocks, and most with Dickey. It might be different if I had connected with other fans like I have with MMJ peeps, but that didn't really happen.
I should be sitting in the balcony right now filled with anticipation as the Allman Brothers get ready to take the stage one last time at the Beacon after over 200 shows since 1989.
But no, at least for now, that's not to be. Hopefully it will be rescheduled (a lot of doubters out there that this will ever be rescheduled at the Beacon - I hope they're wrong).
To get the presale code to order my tix for this show, not only did I need to be a Peach in good standing but I had to order a recently-released live CD from their March 10 & 11, 1992 Beacon run. I guess listening to that CD for the first time will have to suffice for this Saturday's "Plan B".

I hear ya man, I was blasting Allmans on the jukebox last night getting more and more upset. Do we have any word on when we might hear any news about the rescheduling??

No word on rescheduling yet as far as I can tell.
I went to put on that "Plan B" CD last night - Play All Night - Live at the Beacon Theatre 1992 - and guess what, my CD player died in protest.
Not to be denied, I move on to "Plan C", which turned out to be even better. I dug out my ancient vinyl copy of Live at the Fillmore East which I have not played in some time. Somehow my vinyl copy has survived virtually unscathed from millions of my plays in the 70s. The album cover is beat to crap, but that isn't nearly as important. Played all 4 sides while cracking open my bible - "Live at the Fillmore East, A Photographic Memoir" by Amalie Rothschild. There's a reason why many consider this the greatest live album ever made.
There was no time or place that was more important to rock and roll than 1968-1971 at the Fillmore. The Allmans closed it down with three consecutive shows in June of 1971 when everything that was incubated there could no longer be contained within its intimate confines.
Excellent news to wake up to. They finally have rescheduled these cancelled Beacon shows....

Did you guys watch the stream from Mountain Jam last night? Wow, the Allman Brothers Band have still got it. I was so glad to hear and see that, I was a bit worried with all the bad news from the Allmans this year (Gregg and Butch missing shows, Gregg's broken wrist, Warren and Derek leaving, band carrying on without them, band not carrying on without them, etc) but I had nothing to worry about, they smoked yet another mindblower of a show, playing all of the first two albums (except Every Hungry Woman). I can't think of a single band still playing that can touch the intensity, virtuosity, and jamming abilities of this band. I believe they are in another universe compared to every other rock band in existence. They are truly going out at the top of their game.
I'm thinking dangerously about how I can see one more show this year, although I cannot afford it. That Lockn festival lineup has got so many highlights, so many favorite bands playing multiple nights in multiple configurations. What I would not give to see Phil and Bobby playing The Other One with the Allmans blazing away behind them, forcing Bobby to up his energy, pushing the pace and intensity back to where it belongs, where it used to be all the time (Black Hearted Woman jam last night had me thinking that). www.locknfestival.com (http://www.locknfestival.com)
Last Beacon show: Do you think Clapton could stay away? Would Dickey get over it and play one last time with the Brothers?
One of the things I am so thankful for, I will be able to sit back when I'm old and recall all the times I have been so incredibly fortunate to see live in concert two of the greatest rock bands of all time, The Allmans and the Grateful Dead. In a few months, neither will exist anymore. Ain't that the end of an era.
If you have not checked it out, you should get the new DVD version (unedited) of Great Woods 1991 (Woody is fucking amazing, along with Dickey and Warren) as well as the recently released DVD of 3-26-2009 40th anniversary of first rehearsal. That show has me agreeing with the folks who think Derek Trucks is the greatest living blues rock guitarist. His playing was beyond mind-blowing that night.

I've been fortunate to be one of the fans to see the Allmans at the Beacon, and it ranks right up there with the best concert experiences I've ever had.
Like a dummy, I missed out on the sale for this run. I know it's a long shot but if anyone hears of a pair of tix for any night, please keep me in mind. I have put a lot of feelers out there, and hoping big time that somehow the rock Gods smile on me once again. :beer:

I can't believe I'm just catching up with this. Immediately ordered the vinyl to go with my early 70s copy that I bought new and is now heavily worn but still sounding fine.
Don't let this become another Okonokos, if you like the ABB, and get your vinyl before it sells out! This is about as "no brainer" as it gets in the music world. It's worth the price just for Whipping Post!

Hey Eric, are you still looking for tickets?
If so, give me a call.
