:: Beacon Theatre :: New York, NY ::
Words by:
When the Fillmore East closed its doors in June 1971, the Allman Brothers Band was the last band to perform. The recording of these shows, At Fillmore East, is one of the greatest live albums to ever be released. For the past 13 years the Allman Brothers have returned to NYC for an annual residency at the Beacon Theatre, a fantastic, art-deco treasure on the upper West Side. Fans from around the world come each March to experience improvisational rock & roll like what the Brothers played in 1971. Step inside the three-tiered 2,300-capacity Beacon's huge bronze doors and you find incredible murals, 30-foot Greek statues, marble floors, and ornate moldings.
This was the 15th show of 16 sold out nights...
