The Allman Brothers Band Live Performance of 'Can't Take It With You' at Capitol Theatre
On April 20, 1979, The Allman Brothers Band delivered a memorable performance of "Can’t Take It With You" at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey. This live recording comes during an interesting chapter in the band’s journey, as they had recently released their album *Enlightened Rogues* in 1979. This album marked a significant turning point, being the first without the iconic Duane Allman, who had passed in 1971, and it showcased a more refined sound while retaining their signature Southern rock essence. Interestingly, *Enlightened Rogues* produced the hit "Jessica," which became a staple in their setlist and beloved among fans. By this point in their career, the band was revitalized, experimenting with new tunes and collaborations while touring extensively—a true testament to their resilience and adaptability in the face of change. It's a thrill to witness their electric chemistry during this era in live recordings like this one!
