The Allman Brothers Band: The Brothers 50

2020

On March 10, 2020, hours before the United States came to a complete halt due to the pandemic, "The Brothers" gathered at Madison Square Garden to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Allman Brothers Band, the last show the band played under that name, it was on October 28, 2014 at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan. The concert turned out to be the last public appearance for the musicians on stage for the whole year, this only added mystique to the event that closed the book on half a century of musical tradition. Featuring performances by original ABB drummer Jaimoe, along with Duane Trucks, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Otil Burbridge and Mark Quinones, as well as guest appearances by original pre-ABB Second Coming keyboardist Reese Wynans and Chuck Leavell, who played with the band from 1972 to 1976.
