The Allman Brothers Band
Melissa - Jackson Browne & Gregg Allman Live from All My Friends Concert
On January 10, 2014, the Allman Brothers Band was engaged in a period of reflection and celebration of their legacy, highlighting the impact of their music through performances featuring key collaborators. This live recording of "Melissa" with Jackson Browne took place during the tribute concert "All My Friends: Celebrating the Songs and Voice of Gregg Allman." This event marked a pivotal moment as it was part of a year that saw the band announce their plans for a final tour, solidifying their status as rock legends. Prior to this concert, their last studio album, "Betts, Howe, & the Allman Brothers Band," had been released in 2004, which was a significant hiatus from new studio work amid their extensive touring schedule. This event not only reaffirmed the band's influence on rock music but also illustrated the deep connections they maintained with fellow artists throughout their career, culminating in a heartfelt tribute that resonated with fans and fellow musicians alike.
