My ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND obsession began in March of 1971 at FILLMORE EAST and continued for the most part throughout the years up until the very end of the band for a grand total of over 50 perfomances. Funny as I calendarize my shows I found 3 separate shows for the same date JULY 21 in various years.
TICKETS TORN IN HALF- July 21
(ABB Show #6) July 21, 1971: ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND/ COWBOY @Wollman Rink in Central Park was an experience.Met up with a buddy in a tavern prior to the show. In the park the sun was shining brightly as the ABB hits the stage and they finished hours later in the calm of an early evening. Duane was in his element. Photos galore. Two shows that night,we had the early one.

(ABB Show #10) July 21, 1973 ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND @ Madison Square Garden, NY: The ABB even after the death of Duane and Berry were becoming a huge attraction on the circuit. This two night stand at MSG followed two sell outs with the Grateful Dead at RFK stadium , 80,000 seats each night, only a month before.

I’m sitting at the top of the expanded amphitheater with a guy I finally got to attend any show with me and tonight we are seated amongst college kids, guys, mostly drunk who encouraged their girlfriends to go topless in the rain. And it rained.

That’s pretty cool. How do you still remember all this stuff after so many years? Did you keep some sort of diary, or are using setlist.fm or something similar to refresh your memory? I sometimes can’t remember what I did previous day! 🙂
The Allman Brothers were a “late discovery” in my case. Fortunately, I saw them once at PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey in 2014 – only a few months prior to their final performance at the Beacon in New York. Great show!

I have a journal that I have notes from 1968 on,sometimes just a few words, sometimes paragraphs, also newspaper clippings, ads, and reviews… and a jar filled with my tix stubs.
