The Allman Brothers Band

In February 1996, during their appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman," The Allman Brothers Band performed "Jessica," a track from their 1973 album "Brothers and Sisters." This performance came during a notable period in the band's history, as they were enjoying a resurgence in popularity following their 1990 reunion and the release of the acclaimed album "Shades of Two Worlds" in 1991. At this time, the band was still featuring foundational members, including guitarist Dickey Betts, who wrote "Jessica," a song that won them a Grammy Award. Their live performance on television highlighted their enduring legacy and ability to connect with both longtime fans and new audiences. The band's blend of Southern rock, blues, and jazz influences was evident during this electrifying performance, showcasing their musicianship and establishing "Jessica" as one of their signature songs.
