This is mind blowing stuff. To some, it may be just a lot of noise. But, this is a really, really cool improvisational jam, featuring John Medeski on Hammond B3, Vernon Reid on guitar, Jack Bruce on bass, and Cindy Santana on drums. Another, in a series of tributes to the late, great master of the bass guitar.

The Allman Brothers Band's final shows at the Beacon Theater in New York City
Even though I have accepted that it is the end, of one of my all-time favorite bands, there is still one more thing to write about as we close the book on the history of the Allman Brothers Band. The last pages of that book, have been written, after 45 years, and many triumphs, as well as trials and tragedies. I've been following this band every year for the last eleven years, having seen them, four different times during that span. It is hard for me, as a fan, (not so much as a blogger, but as a fan), to write about these guys, without getting choked up. Their music, means a whole lot more to me than I ever could express in writing. Their music has inspired me, and has pushed me to be a better musician. It also, helped me through struggles and successes, during my college years.
More than that, though, the Allman Brothers' music has become a part of me, that is very difficult to describe in words. I said it in my review of Saturday night at the Peach Music Festival. During their performance of "Mountain Jam", I just welled up. Very few bands have had such a positive, uplifting impact on my life, as the Allman Brothers Band has. The records and memories, will still be there. But, it is so hard to accept that these guys are going away for good, even if it may be for the best.
Here are the final set lists from the Allman Brothers concerts at the Beacon Theater in New York City for each day of their six night run there, which follows a run in March, that was postponed.

*For this final show, the Allmans played the majority of the great songs in their catalog, which included only the blues standards that they've covered for so many years like Spencer Davis' "Don't Want You No More", Elmore James' songs "One Way Out" and "The Sky Is Crying", Blind Willie McTell's "Statsboro Blues", and fittingly, closing out with The Carter Family's "Will The Circle Be Unbroken", in the middle of "Mountain Jam", and ending the show with the first tune they ever played as a band... "Trouble No More", by Muddy Waters.
Rolling Stone magazine's David Fricke, sums up the whole show.
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/live-reviews/the-allman-brothers-band-take-a-final-bow-at-epic-beacon-theatre-show-20141029
The band ended the show at 1:30 A.M. this morning. What an amazing way to close out a career. Will the Allman Brothers return? It's very hard to say. 45 years is a long, long time, and with Warren and Derek's solo band's, it seems unlikely. But, one thing is for sure, the music will live on forever. These guys are truly, my favorite band, and I mean that in the most sincere way. Their music has had a major, positive impact on my life. It is very sad to write these final words on the band's legacy. I have followed them, for the last decade at least, ever since they released "Hittin' The Note", which will ultimately be their last studio record, and the only one with the lineup of Derek and Warren on guitars.
But, it is safe to say that their legacy in the pantheon of musical history, is secure. Long live The Allman Brothers Band! Thanks for the memories, guys.

Gregg Allman Says No Guests including Dickey at The Beacon
It may be fine for festival gigs. But, this run is the final one, ever, for the Allman Brothers Band at the Beacon Theater, and the final set of shows of their career.

Dickey Betts "Duane's Tune"
This song could easily have been written as a homage to both Duane Allman (though it doesn't quite sound like it would have been), and Dickey Betts' son, Duane Betts, who currently plays alongside his dad in Dickey Betts & Great Southern. It's "Duane's Tune" and appears on The Dickey Betts Band's 1988 record "Pattern Disruptive", as well as the last track on the fourth disc of the "Dreams", Allman Brothers anthology box set. Check it out.
