ABB/WSP: More Sit-Ins at Jones Beach
The Allman’s co-bill tour with Widespread Panic continued last night at Jones Beach in Wantagh, NY where we saw a continuation of many of the trends established earlier in the tour – sit-ins and tons of latecomers. Panic came on close to the 7PM show time to find an empty venue. A number of Allman fans rolled in towards the middle of Panic’s set just in time to see Derek Trucks join WSP for Thin Air and Blackout Blues. ABB bassist Oteil made an appearance towards the end of Fishwater and showed off his scatting skills.

* – w/ Derek Trucks, ** – w/ Oteil Burbridge, *** – w/ Warren Haynes
The sit-in of the night happened at the end of Panic’s set when Warren Haynes joined the Georgia rockers for two songs off the brute. album Nine High a Pallet, Protein Drink and Sewing Machine. Haynes tore into the tunes which he seemed more familiar with than the last time he played them with Panic at the United Palace back in April of ’08.
Allman’s Set: Done Somebody Wrong, Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More, Woman Across The River, Midnight Rider, Rocking Horse, Statesboro Blues, Revival, Stormy Monday, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed*
Encore: Southbound*** – w/ Jimmy Herring, ** – w/ Jimmy and JoJo Hermann
Jones Beach seemed about 2/3rds full when the Allmans kicked off their set with Done Somebody Wrong. The Brothers seemed to extend every song with intros and solos as even Revival got the 10-minute treatment. Former Allmans guitarist and current Panic axe-slinger Jimmy Herring came out for a Liz Reed that went on forever. The ABB closed with a tune that they love bringing out guests to perform on, Southbound, which Herring and JoJo Hermann sat in on. The tour continues tomorrow night at Great Woods.
