The Allman Brothers Band

In March 2000, during the iconic band's residency at the Beacon Theatre, The Allman Brothers Band delivered a stellar live performance captured in "High Falls." This recording is a part of their album "Peakin' at the Beacon," which was released later that year on November 14, 2000. This live album came out at a significant time for the group, as it showcased their resilience and musicianship after facing challenges in the 1990s, including lineup changes and the tragic passing of founding member Duane Allman. The Beacon gigs have become a cherished tradition, a rite of spring for fans, and that specific show featured an exceptional blend of rock and improvisation, with the band laying down intricate layers of sound that highlight their mastery of the extended jam format. Fun fact: the Beacon Theatre gigs often included special guests and variations in their setlist, emphasizing their collaborative spirit and the joy of live music. It was truly a moment where the Allman Brothers shined brightly.
