The Allman Brothers Band

On May 14, 1982, The Allman Brothers Band performed a live recording of "Brothers Of The Road," which is significant as it marked a transitional phase for the band. During this time, the band had released their album titled "Brothers of the Road" in 1981, which was their first studio album after a lengthy hiatus. This album was notable for its emphasis on a more mainstream rock sound, moving away from the Southern rock style that had initially defined their earlier work. The era also saw the incorporation of new band members and a shift in musical direction, attempting to reach a broader audience. Notably, this period was characterized by the challenge of maintaining their legacy while navigating changes in the music industry, as well as the ongoing effects of the tragic losses of founding members Duane Allman and Berry Oakley, which profoundly impacted the band's dynamic and evolution.
