Allman Brothers Welcome NMAS Duo, Collins + Sermons @ Beacon Before Warren and Derek Guest @ Bowlive

The Allman Brothers Band continued their March Madness run at the Beacon Theatre last night for the fifth of 11 shows that make up this year’s residency. Not only did the Allmans welcome plenty of guests to their show, but ABB guitarists Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes headed to Brooklyn Bowl after leaving the Beacon stage to sit in with Soulive at the second night of Bowlive IV.

After starting off with the classic Don’t Want You No More > Ain’t My Cross To Bear pairing and their signature version of Statesboro Blues, the Allmans offered second Beacon run takes on Rain by The Beatles and Ann Peebles’ Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody’s Home. The guest parade began with Luther and Cody Dickinson of North Mississippi Allstars sitting in on blues standard Come On Into My Kitchen. Luther and Cody stuck around for a mid-set One Way Out that also saw contributions from saxophonist Jay Collins – a Beacon run regular who was making his first appearance of this year’s residency. To cap the opening the set, the Allman Brothers delivered a rare split version of Hot ‘Lanta with All Along The Watchtower breaking up the instrumental. Collins worked his magic on both the opening of Hot ‘Lanta and the Dylan cover.

Gregg Allman, Warren Haynes, Oteil Burbridge and Butch Trucks kicked off the second set with a Melissa that featured Gregg on acoustic guitar. Next up was the recently busted out Low Down Dirty Mean followed by another Warren-sung Blue Sky. The jam-fueled closing stanza continued with Dreams and the 1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) > Mountain Jam mix that the band debuted one week prior at the opening night of the run. Tedeschi-Trucks Band trombonist Saunders Sermons emerged for the meat of the Mountain Jam. The jamming continued into the encore with Whipping Post.

Once Trucks and Haynes were done at the Beacon, they headed to Brooklyn Bowl for a surprise third set with Soulive. Among the tunes performed during the set, which started around 1:15AM, was blues standard The Sky Is Crying that also featured Robert Randolph and Saunders Sermons.
