2021 AUD

After missing last year due to COVID, the Peach Festival roared back this year. One of the many featured acts that graced the Peach Stage this past weekend was Oteil Burbridge and Friends.

Oteil played mostly original material with a couple of Dead and JGB songs. Early in the set, Oteil and Friends were joined by Eric Krasno for a good portion of the show.

Towards the end of the set, Oteil welcomed some brothers of a past life to join him for a few songs. Devon Allman, Duane Betts and Berry Oakley Jr., all relatives of Oteil’s old band, The Allman Brothers Band, joined Oteil and friends for a few ABB tunes including “Midnight Rider,” “Blue Sky,” and “Revival.”

Listen to Warren Haynes Perform “Cortez the Killer” and “Hallelujah” at South Farms – 9/12/2020 AUD

Warren Haynes announced a pair of socially distanced shows, his first since the COVID shutdown for this weekend at South Farms in Morris, CT. The two shows sold out in no time and Warren quickly announced more for October.

The shows feature Warren with support from Gov’t Mule keyboardist Danny Louis. To say it was incredible to see Warren back on stage would be an understatement. Warren treated the fans on the farm to 20 songs over two sets and an encore. The show featured some of Warren’s favorite covers such as Neil Young’s “Cortez the Killer” and Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”

Thankfully Sean Roche was in attendance and a couple of tapers including johnt569. Sean got some great footage of the “Cortez the Killer” encore and “Scared to Live > Hallelujah.”

Listen to the Allman Brothers Band Reunite in NYC as The Brothers – 3/10/2020 AUD

The Allman Brothers Band played their last gig in NYC at the Beacon Theatre on October 28th, 2014. While it’s only been a little over five years, so much has happened in the Allman Brothers community. Gregg and Butch have passed, Derek and Susan have been spreading their own brand of southern rock, Warren has continued to earn his moniker as the hardest working man in rock and Oteil has found a new calling with Dead and Company. One of the most exciting projects to happen in recent years are sons of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts (Devon Allman and Duane Betts) joining forces for a new era of Allman Brothers-inspired music and tours.

While so much has flourished from the ashes of the Allman Brothers Band, nothing really quite replaces the real thing. While both Gregg and Duane have passed and Dickey has opted out, the remaining members of Allman Brothers Band reunited last night in NYC to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the band.

Despite the fear and spread of COVID-19, tens of thousands of fans made the pilgrimage to NYC to see ABB reunite for one evening. Instead of peakin’ at the Beacon, the Brothers decided to put on a huge celebration at Madison Square Garden.

Last night’s line-up included the loan remaining founding member of the Allman Brothers Band, Jaimoe on drums, Warren Haynes on guitar and vocals, Derek Trucks on guitar, Oteil Burbridge on bass, Marc Quinones on percussion, Chuck Leavell on grand piano and vocals, Duane Trucks on drums and Reese Wynans on keyboards.

While variations of the Brothers line-up have played over the years, the core hasn’t come together since the final ABB show back in 2014. Never the less, it didn’t take long for Warren, Derek, Oteil, Jaimoe and the rest of the Brothers to find their groove.

The evening was a sight to behold. Allman Brothers Band members and family, new and old jammed deep into the evening at MSG on the best of the best of the ABB catalogue. The Brothers treated fans to nearly 30 songs during the two sets and encore.

Let’s hope we don’t have to wait another 5 years for another night of the Brothers summoning the spirit of ABB.
