The Allman Brothers Band played their final concert on October 28th, 2014 at New York City’s Beacon Theatre. Now, a recording of the show is being released as a live album for its 10th anniversary, available via Peach Records digitally on October 25th and as a CD box set on November 22nd (pre-order here).
In addition to the remastered audio of the show, the Final Concert 10-28-14 3xCD edition includes a 16-page booklet with exclusive photos and liner notes. Curated by Warren Haynes, the 29-song concert featured a lineup of founding members Gregg Allman, Jaimoe, and Butch Trucks alongside Haynes, Derek Trucks, Marc Quinones, and Oteil Burbridge.
Divided into three sets, the concert featured selections from six Allman Brothers Band albums, kicking off with “Little Martha” and “Mountain Jam.” ABB also played songs like “One Way Out,” “Blue Sky,” “Statesboro Blues,” “The Sky Is Crying,” and “Melissa” before closing with “Trouble No More.” See the full tracklist below, and pre-order the CD set here.
“Having joined the Allman Brothers Band in 1991, I had no idea what I was getting myself into as a percussionist joining two drummers on stage,” Quinones said in a statement about the concert. “Fast forward 23 years to the last show we played as the Allman Brothers Band. I feel honored to have been part of such a historical musical force that was and is the ABB. Love live the ABB!”
Unfortunately, several Allman Brothers Band co-founders have passed away since their final concert, including Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts, leaving Jaimoe as the only surviving original member.
