The Allman Brothers Band

In the live performance captured on September 6, 1991, at Great Woods, The Allman Brothers Band was riding the wave of a revitalized career. Just a couple of years prior, in 1989, they had released the album **"Seven Turns,"** which marked a significant comeback after a lengthy hiatus throughout most of the 1980s. This album not only reintroduced the band to fans but also helped cement their legacy in the Southern rock genre. Interestingly, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" has a fascinating history, originally debuting on their 1970 album **"Idlewild South."** By 1991, the band had solidified their live prowess, developing a rich, improvisational sound that had become their trademark. They excelled at blending blues and jazz influences, and this performance showcases just that. It’s easy to hear how the chemistry among the band members contributes to their timeless appeal, making this live recording a gem for both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
