Less Peakin' at the Beacon?

Word has it the Allman Brothers may be forced to take up residency somewhere else when their time comes to plant their lazy asses in New York for a month.

There’s still no official confirmation from any of the parties — and I’m entirely not sure there will be any time soon — but one of Manhattan’s most revered and neighborly music theaters is rumored to be undergoing some major changes in 2007. As the still-preliminary story goes, the Beacon Theater’s lease has expired, and several interested buyers have inquired about the historical landmark’s future.

Along with the unconfirmed news of the potential sale (to such rumored suitors as the Madison Square Garden folks), there is some underground chatter that the Beacon will shut down after the Government Mule New Year’s shows for extensive renovations that may run as long as six months of the year. And that would leave old stand-bys like the Allmans without a home, possibly leading to a re-titled “Smokia at the Nokia” or “Show Some Titty at Radio City” run.

Hidden Track will obviously stay on the story as more details emerge, but it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few weeks and months…
