Steve Earle Among Allman Brothers Band Guests @ Beacon

We’ve reached the home stretch of the Allman Brothers Band’s March Madness run at New York City’s Beacon Theatre. Last night the legendary Southern Rockers welcomed a number of guests for their seventh of the 11 shows that make up this year’s run.

While the Allmans have been filling most recent shows with repeats, which is expected by show number seven and isn’t a knock on them, they are still finding spots to dust off classics. For instance, the group opened last night’s show with the first Sailin’ ‘cross The Devil’s Sea of the run. The opening stanza also included Spots of Time, one of the new originals the Allmans have debuted this month. Beacon Run regulars The Juke Horns made multiple appearances throughout the night starting with Don’t Keep Me Wondering towards the end of Set One. The Juke Horns stuck around for another version of Dylan/Manuel’s Tears Of Rage which was debuted one week earlier and a set-closing rendition of Same Thing that also included contributions from keyboardist Bruce Katz.

Set One: Sailin ‘cross the Devil’s Sea, Walk on Gilded Splinters, Trouble No More, Spots Of Time, Statesboro Blues, Don’t Keep Me Wondering (w/ Juke Horns), Tears of Rage (w/ Juke Horns), Same Thing (w/ Juke Horns & Bruce Katz)

Set Two: Knockin On Heaven’s Door (w/ Steve Earle & Bruce Katz), Copperhead Road (w/ Steve and Bruce), One Way Out (w/ Bruce), No One To Run With, Been Loving You Too Long (w/ Juke Horns, just Jaimoe on drums), To Know You Is To Love You (w/ Juke Horns), Les Brers

Encore: Whipping Post

When the Allman Brothers Band returned for the second set, they brought out Katz and singer-songwriter Steve Earle for a killer rendition of Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door. Earle last performed the Dylan cover with the Brothers at the Beacon during the 2011 Run. Both Earle and Katz stayed out for Earle’s Copperhead Road – an Allmans debut. Bruce Katz was a featured performer on a mid-set One Way Out. Towards the end of the set, The Juke Horns returned for a two-song stretch of covers: Otis Redding’s Been Loving You Too Long and Stevie Wonder/Syreeta Wright’s To Know You Is To Love You. A long and jammed out Les Brers and Whipping Post encore brought the evening to a close.

The Allmans return to the Beacon tonight. Watch Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door with Steve Earle…

  1. Great show last night. The Juke Horns with Don’t Keep Me Wondering was also a nice twist. Thanks for using my video by the way!
