The Allman Brothers Band Tickets

The Allman Brothers Band continues to stun their audiences with an amazing blend of rock, blues, and jazz. Every member of this band has mastered their instruments. This band has been together for 40 years with 3 original members. The newest member to join is an amazing slide guitarist, Derek Trucks, who fills in the slot of the late great Duane Allman. Derek brings a musical intensity , and diversity that I have found to be unmatched. Otiel on bass... I grew up listening to such bassists as Jaco, Stanley Clarke, Ron Carter to Mingus, Otiel has a style and musical sense that rivals all the greats. The rhythm section consists of two original member of the band Butch Trucks, (Dereks Uncle) and Jaimo, and later added a percussionist Mark Quinones together form the driving force behind this great band. Gregs Vocals and tasty chops on the B-3 organ are umistakable and seem to pull the entire band together and orchestrate some of the most magical moments of live music I have ever experienced. Rounding out this crew is one of the most amazing and versital guitarist / vocalist to come from the south. Warren Haynes is one of the most solid players weather it be with the Dead, Govt mule, Solo acoustic acts, with the Allman Brothers, or any of the many other projects he takes on. These guys are not "entertainers". They are serious musicians that speak the language in a way not many can. After 40 years ( I grew up on these guys from their first album on thru their entire career) this band still amazes me. Thanks ABB for coming back to the west coast. It was an unforgetable evening.

The show was amazing. They sounded great!!! The Fox Theatre was a sight in itself. The acoustics rang true in the place. I love Greggs voice and Warren and Derreck shreaded. Man, it was better than when I saw them at the Beacon. A show that I'll remember for a long,long while.

In between Dead shows, The Allman's played Oakland's restored venue and slayed the house. Those old songs never sounded fresher with the life that Warren and Derek inject to the show. Greg's voice still soulfull and vibrant. The jams took the audience to the edge and back seamlessly.

I am sorry I did not go to both shows.. Equally sorry I missed the first song! I love this new revived venue and will put it on the top of my list. The acoustics are great and the visuals of the decor and proximity of the stage and screen are tremendous. It's intimate but handles a good crowd. I loved the diversity of people I met as well. The addition of background screen with Duane was fantastic touch.
