Full Show Friday: The Allman Brothers Live At The Beacon 2003

Last year we searched the murky back waters of youtube to find full concerts and posted them to the site monthly.  That was all well and good but this year RtBE is upping the ante with a show every week to celebrate Full Show Friday's.  These shows are of varying quality and may not be here for long so enjoy them while you can...As always, please support the artist every which way, but especially by seeing them live (if they are still playing)...This week...The Allman Brothers!
RtBE has caught this incarnation of The Allmans a few times but sad to say we have never Peaked At The Beacon with the fellas. Honestly we like the group, but aren't in love with them and ticket prices at the Beacon during the March stand being what they are, Love is really needed and this video is a good stand in. Warren and Derek are great continuing the amazing tradition of dueling axe players in the group and when it comes to singing Warren brings the group even higher then its ever been.

This is a pro shot pro sound DVD you can buy it here. This hour and18 minutes is not the full disk, it is only half the show, so I don't mind posting it, if you want the full show, buy it. Highlights include the ripping, "Black Hearted Woman" Greg's soulful take on Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come" (though I wish Warren sang it), a spin through Gov't Mule's "Rocking Horse", the "Desdemona" soloing and a gorgeous "Soul Shine" to close (cutting off 1 minute too soon though). Enjoy:
