The Allman Betts Band on Tour
When Devon Allman and Duane Betts come together to carry the torch that their fathers â Gregg and Dickey, respectively â bore for so many years, they do it their own way. Sure, they bring classic Allman Brothers Band tunes like "Ain't Wastin' Time No More," "Jessica," "Midnight Rider" and "Blue Sky" to the stage with a sound and spirit that will make their fathers' fans misty. But this is no tribute act. In addition to breathing new life into the old material, they offer up their own tunes, influenced by old-school Southern rock but bearing an undeniably original feel. And along the way they take songs by other artists, from John Lee Hooker to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and put their own roots-rocking stamp on them. Between Devon's pipes and Duane's guitar, old spirits are conjured in an Allman Betts Band concert, but new fires are stoked as well.Â
The Allman Betts Band in Concert
When Gregg Allman passed away in 2017, the loss ended any chance for the Allman Brothers Band to ever take the stage again. But two men found a way to move the spirit of the ABB into a new era. These musicians are an undeniable part of the band's legacy even though they were never actually members of the band. Gregg's son Devon Allman joined forces with Duane Betts, son of legendary Allman Brothers Band guitarist Dickey Betts, to form The Allman Betts Band. Devon's soulful voice and Duane's fiery guitar work represent the next chapter in a Southern rock story that started with their parents back in Georgia in the late 1960s. There's even a third Allman Brothers Band offspring in the Allman Betts Band â Berry Oakley Jr., whose dad was the former's founding bassist. Those who mourn the Allman Brothers Band will find cause to rejoice in The Allman Betts Band, as not just a rekindling of old memories but a powerful path forward.Â
This was a dynamite show, all excellent musicians, only criticism is the venue, promoter, or whoever should have listed that there were 2 warm up acts, this way the consumer knows what they're in for especially on a week night !
Not only did the band put on an incredible show with AMAZING talent on stage, but even the bands who opened for them were great! This show didn't disappoint!
a good concert as I always enjoyed the Allman brothers ,would have liked it more if when not playing there own music that they stuck to playing Allman brothers stuff and not someone elses music,the Allmans brother music is what got them there and stick to it
Great opportunity to see new acts with a mix of some well performed covers.
Really disappointed that we missed most of the show we bought the tickets for. Show was advertised as an 8:00 start. We figured we'd be out of the show by 10:30 and planned our night accordingly. We have two kids at home and on a Tuesday night, we were not able to stay for Allman Betts. With two warm up bands, they didn't start until 10. We stayed for 3 songs and had to leave. Really disappointed!
Enjoy the. Entire Show! Opening Acts were Awesome. Allman -Betts made their dads proud I am sure!
Tremendous triple bill . The Allman Betts Band will be playing bigger venues soon . Go see them now. My second time in last two months .
Great venue with awesome music. Played the new stuff, Some classic Allman Bros. and some Dead and Petty. Great musical talent.
Fantastic show, couldn't have been better!! The opening acts of Jackson Stokes and JD Simo were great as well... Couldn't be happier with the show...
What a great show! Duane, Berry, Devon carrying on in the spirit of their fathers! Felt like I was back in eight grade...so happy that this music is being kept alive. The band members also performed their own compositions and other covers...just excellent. They are all superb musicians, too.
Scottish Rite is a wonderful arena and the Allman Betts Band rocked the roof off with original songs and some great Allman hits.
What a great show. I never thought it would this good. Can't wait for them to come back again. Hopefully soon.
The venue is excellent very comfortable great acoustics Allman Betts Band definitely delivered an epic performance hitting in classics like In Memory of Elizabeth Reed instrumental, new material Down by the River, can't wait to see them again this summer. I give them Five Guitars đ¸đ¸đ¸đ¸đ¸
Being an Allman Brothers Band fan since the early '70s, I thought it would be great to see the next generation of Allman, Betts, and Oakley. I wasn't sure what to expect. It was an incredible concert. It was a nice mix of their own material, ABB songs (Midnight Rider, Blue Skies, and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed), and other great songs. I can't wait to see them again! Please come back to the area soon.
It was a great night watching the Allman Betts band. I bought their album right after the concert. I love them and I canât wait for them to come back! Great music! Was so nice to hear the Allman Brothers music being played live by their sons! And their new music is so good. Great show!
A great experience. Sometimes i felt like i was at the Fillmore East in 1970. While they definitely display the influences of the Allman Bros. parents, they have a sound of their own.
Great show at a great venue acoustics were great, easy to/ from and free parking. I will definitely be going back!
One truly amazing band and a great venue. We were totally jazzed
These guys are making their Daddyâs proud by carrying on a rich Allman, Betts, Oakley tradition with some great music. This iteration is perhaps a click closer to the Country side of the Southern Rock-Blues-Country blend the original Allman Brothers were known for. Jackson Stokes set the table up nicely with his set prior to The Allman-Betts Band taking the stage. I especially liked his cover of The Talking Headsâ, Take Me To The River. If you enjoy Allman Brothers type music, this show is a Must See event.
This was a relatively good show entertainment wise however every time they covered an Allman Brothers song it was sad to say how far they are from the original. I'm glad most of the show was their own material, they did that well... very soulful.
