Although not a vinyl release, I feel that this is an historic day for Allman Brothers fans as bands' historic concerts at the Beacon Theater in New York last month is set to be released in a 45-disc CD package capturing all fifteen shows. This is the first time that the Allman Brothers have released any live music from, what is now, their 188 consecutive sold out shows dating back to 1989.
The run not only celebrated their 40th anniversary as a band, but was also dedicated to the late Duane Allman, guitarist and band founder. Joining them over the 15 nights is an amazing group of iconic musicians including: Eric Clapton, Levon Helm, Taj Mahal, Buddy Guy, Boz Scaggs, Johnny Winter, Sheryl Crow, Stanley Clarke, Kid Rock, Bonnie Bramlett, Robert Randolph, John Hammond, Billy Gibbons, David Hidalgo, Trey Anastasio, Susan Tedeschi, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh among others.
Also included in the set will be the band's performance at Warren Haynes' 20th annual Christmas Jam from December 2008 and 40 photos taken during the Beacon run. All of this will be included in a custom numbered box.
The price for this massive set is a bit expensive, but fans should have no problem shelling out the $499.00 for this amazing collectible set. Individual shows are also available for $27.00.
