The Allman Brothers Band - Midnight Rider Live Performance at Woodstock '94

Venue: Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts Location: Mansfield, Massachusetts, United States Date: August 13, 1994

In August 1994, when The Allman Brothers Band took the stage at Woodstock '94, they were riding the wave of a remarkable comeback that had begun earlier in the '90s. Just before this performance, they had released their studio album *Shades of Two Worlds* in 1991, which reflected a resurgence in their creativity and sound, blending rock with blues and Southern rock's rich history. Their performance of "Midnight Rider" at Woodstock was particularly poignant, showcasing not just their musicianship but also the revival of their fanbase following years of lineup changes and personal struggles. Interestingly, this was the band's first appearance at Woodstock—almost 25 years after the original festival in 1969—which added a layer of historical significance to their set. The emotional weight of that moment, paired with their legendary sound, made this live recording truly special, a testament to their enduring legacy.
