Info for Final Concert 10-28-14 (Live Concert Recording) (Live Concert Recording - Remastered)



Final Concert 10-28-14 is a live album by the rock group the Allman Brothers Band. It contains the complete concert recorded on October 28, 2014, at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.

As the title suggests, the album documents the last concert by the Allman Brothers Band, which formed in 1969. Early in 2014 they announced that they would disband before the end of the year. From October 21 to October 28 they performed a final run of six concerts at the Beacon Theatre. For the last show, they played an extended performance of three sets, with most of the songs selected from their first five albums.

“Having joined the Allman Brothers Band in 1991, I had no idea what I was getting myself into as a percussionist joining two drummers on stage,” percussionist Marc Quinones notes looking back. “Fast forward 23 years to the last show we played as the Allman Brothers Band. I feel honored to have been part of such a historical musical force that was and is the ABB. Love live the ABB!”

The Beacon was the appropriate location for the ABB to make its last stand; the Allmans had logged more appearances there than any other venue and had also set a Broadway record, with 237 consecutive sold-out shows at the venerable hall. Starting in 1989, the Allman’s annual run at the Beacon became a rite of passage in Manhattan; “March Madness,” ABB-style, marked the first sign of spring in NYC. Fans from around the globe traveled to the Upper West Side to be captivated by the group’s riveting shows. As Duane Allman once said, “We’re spreading a religion here,” and the Beacon became a musical house of worship.

Although there was still some gas in the tank, the members of the band – founders Gregg Allman (Hammond B-3 organ, piano, acoustic guitar, vocals), Jaimoe (Drums) and Butch Trucks (Drums, tympani), along with longtime cohorts Warren Haynes (Lead and slide guitar, vocals), Derek Trucks (Lead and slide guitar), Marc Quinones (Congas, percussion, vocals) and Oteil Burbridge (Bass, Vocals) – concluded it was best to go out on top.

The band wanted a set list that would be a montage of its career, one that would pay homage to the original six – Duane, Gregg, Jaimoe, Butch, Berry Oakley and Dickey Betts – while also drawing from the group’s vast catalogue. With input from everyone, Warren Haynes compiled a spectacular, three-set show. Almost 30 songs, drawn from six ABB albums, along with three strong covers that represented the musical trajectory of the group.

A gentle snippet from Duane’s composition “Little Martha,” performed by Warren and Derek, kicked off the performance; then the rolling tympani introduction to “Mountain Jam” ratcheted up the intensity, and the group never looked back. The first set found the ABB in top form, with brilliance throughout: Gregg’s growl on “Not My Cross to Bear,” Jaimoe, Butch and Marc pounding through “One Way Out,” the soaring guitar interplay of “High Cost of Low Living,” a “Blue Sky” nod to Dickey Betts, and an emotional “Soul Serenade” tease in “You Don’t Love Me.”

Set Two featured vintage ABB tunes, including a stomping “Statesboro Blues,” the poignant “Ain’t Wasting Time No More,” a scorching “The Sky is Crying,” and an ethereal “Dreams.” The band took a break before heading into an unprecedented third set, making this one of the longest shows in Allman Brothers history. A tender “Melissa” started the final act of the Allman Brothers Band, along with a return to “Mountain Jam,” which included a segue into the appropriate “Will the Circle be Unbroken,” a song this iteration of the group had never played. Oteil’s thudding bass kicked off “Whipping Post,” and the force of the Allman Brothers Band was on full display for everyone to experience and remember. Afterwards, Gregg, Butch and Jaimoe shared a few thoughts with the mesmerized audience, with Butch perfectly stating, “We’re going to bookend the Allman Brothers Band…end it with the song we started with.” For the last time, the familiar strains of “Trouble No More” burst forth from the speakers; short, sweet, and to the point – 45 years, encapsulated in four minutes.

Unfortunately, several Allman Brothers Band co-founders have passed away since their final concert, including Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts, leaving Jaimoe as the only surviving original member.
