The Allman Brothers Band Live: Don't Want You No More / It's Not My Cross To Bear at Capitol Theatre
On January 5, 1980, The Allman Brothers Band took the stage at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey, delivering a live performance that showcased their iconic blend of southern rock, blues, and jazz influences. At this time, the band was navigating a pivotal moment in their career marked by lineup changes and a renewed focus on their classic sound. Just before this performance, in 1979, they released *Enlightened Rogues*, an album that was met with mixed reviews but showcased the band’s ongoing evolution. Interestingly, this period highlighted the band's resilience following the tragic loss of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley in the '70s. The live recording captures that raw energy and emotional depth, reminding fans of why the Allman Brothers Band continues to resonate deeply in the hearts of music lovers. Moments like "Don’t Want You No More" and "It's Not My Cross To Bear" not only highlight their technical prowess but also their ability to connect authentically with the audience
