The Allman Brothers Band - Pegasus (Part 2) Live at Capitol Theatre
During their performance on April 20, 1979, at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey, The Allman Brothers Band had just released their album "Enlightened Rogues" the previous year in 1979.

It’s a beautiful reminder of the resilience that defines The Allman Brothe
