The surviving members of the last Allman Brothers Band lineup reunited last night for a show at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York.
Billed under the name "The Brothers", the musicians – who included guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, drummer Jaimoe Johanson, bassist Oteil Burbridge and percussionist Marc Quinones – played a 24-song set that spanned the Allmans' career.
The show took place more than five years on from the band's final show at New York’s Beacon Theatre on October 28, 2014, and three years after the death of founder member Gregg Allman.
Amongst the setlist were classics like Statesboro Blues, Black Hearted Woman, Jessica, Mountain Jam, In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed and Whipping Post, while the band were joined on ten songs by keyboardist Chuck Leavell, a member of The Allman Brothers Band from 1972 until 1976. Full setlist below.
In January, the release of Trouble No More: 50th Anniversary Collection, a multi-disc compilation celebrating the band, was announced. The 10LP, 61-song set is now available, and was produced by Allman Brothers historians and aficionados Bill Levenson, John Lynskey and Kirk West.
