Allman Brothers Live at Beacon Theatre: 'Sailin' 'Cross The Devil's Sea' Performance
In March 1998, when The Allman Brothers Band performed “Sailin' 'Cross The Devil's Sea” at the Beacon Theatre, they were riding high on the momentum of their 1994 album, "Where It All Begins." This record marked a significant moment in their career, as it featured a reunion of the band’s classic lineup and showcased a blend of their signature Southern rock sound with more contemporary elements. Interestingly, "Where It All Begins" includes some standout tracks that have become fan favorites, along with “Sailin' 'Cross The Devil's Sea," which encapsulates the band’s deep-rooted themes of longing and resilience. The Beacon Theatre itself holds a special place in the band’s history—it's almost like home turf for them, thanks to their annual March residencies. So, seeing them perform live there in '98 definitely offers a nostalgic thrill, reminding fans of the band's enduring legacy and electrifying stage presence. Who wouldn’t want to relive that energy?
