Allman Brothers Band - 'Jessica' Live Performance at Great Woods
By September 6, 1991, when The Allman Brothers Band performed "Jessica" live at Great Woods, they were riding a wave of renewed energy. The band had released "Seven Turns" in 1990, marking their first album of all-new material in over a decade. This album was significant, showcasing their return to form after a turbulent period filled with lineup changes and personal challenges. The release of "Seven Turns" was like a breath of fresh air, injecting new life into their signature blend of Southern rock and blues.

The Great Woods show in 1991 was instrumental in reaffirming their place in the rock scene, continuing to captivate fans with a sound that felt both classic and rejuvenated at the same time. Can you hear that nostalgia swirling around in those guitar riffs? It's the magic of the Allman Brothers—a timeless echo of musical camaraderie.
