Gregg Allman

On December 11, 1981, Gregg Allman delivered an electrifying performance at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ. This concert came shortly after the release of his album 'Playin' Up a Storm,' which dropped in 1977 and marked a significant moment in his solo career following his time with the Allman Brothers Band. By this time, Allman's sound had evolved, blending his Southern rock roots with elements of rhythm and blues, showcasing his versatility as both a musician and a songwriter. Interestingly, this live show captures Allman's raw energy and the deep emotional connection he had with his audience, which is a hallmark of his performances. It's not just a concert; it’s a glimpse into a transformative period where Allman was solidifying his identity as a solo artist, while still paying homage to his rock lineage.
