The Allman Brothers Band - Live Performance of 'Jessica' at Starwood Amphitheatre

Venue: Starwood Amphitheatre Location: Antioch, Tennessee, United States Date: July 12, 1986

Ah, the artistry of The Allman Brothers Band is such a treasure, isn’t it? By the time they graced the stage at Starwood Amphitheatre on July 12, 1986, they were riding the wave of their 1986 album, *Seven Turns*. That record was quite significant, marking a resurgence for the band after a period of ups and downs. It brought back the essence of their Southern rock and blues sound, the kind that sends chills down your spine! During this live performance, they played the iconic track “Jessica,” which had become a fan favorite since its original release in 1973 on *Eat a Peach*. How cool is it that this beautiful instrumental piece, a tribute to both joy and sorrow, could still captivate audiences over a decade later? Listening to them perform live, you can feel the energy, the connection, and their sheer love for music—it's like they’ve taken the stage just to share a moment, pulling every heartstring along the way. The band’s resilience and ability to evolve while staying true to their roots truly shines through during this show.
