The Allman Brothers Band
Allman Brothers Band - Statesboro Blue Live at Great Woods Concert
On September 6, 1991, during a live performance at Great Woods in Mansfield, Massachusetts, the Allman Brothers Band showcased their enduring musical legacy with a rendition of "Statesboro Blues." By this time in their career, the band was well-established, having released their album "Seven Turns" in 1990, which marked their return to prominence in the music scene after a lengthy hiatus. The album was notable as it was the first to feature original guitarist Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody, revitalizing the band's sound. The 1991 concert exemplifies their classic Southern rock flair, blending blues and improvisational jams that the group was revered for. This performance came during a resurgence period for the band, where they were actively touring and celebrating their legacy, engaging both new audiences and long-time fans. The band's ability to blend soulful melodies with dynamic musicianship was particularly evident in this live recording.
