Some times when I'm doing research for these posts, I learn something new about the band, or one of their albums or songs. Other times, I gain new insight into what was transpiring in the music world at the time of the concert covered in the post. Every now and then, I learn something new about the venue where the show was held. This is one of those posts where the concert location takes center stage. I had mentioned in an earlier post (Jefferson Airplane from 1970-05-01), that SUNY Stony Brook in Long Island NY was a hot bed for rock and roll concerts in the early 1970s. Yet despite having written those words, I don't think I fully understood what they meant until I started doing some research on this Allman Brothers show. In addition to this concert on September 19, 1971, 41 years ago today, the Allmans played Stony Brook 3 more times that summer and fall July 10, July 26 and October 23. Can you imagine 4 opportunities to see Duane, Greg and the entire Allman's contingent in 6 months at small college campus right outside New York City? I'm betting prices were under $5 a ticket! Oh well, if we can't bring back those intimate shows at bargain basement prices, at least we can still enjoy the incredible music, by downloading great bootlegs such as this soundboard recording! This 10 song included nearly 20 minute versions of Dreams and In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, as well as an over 25 minute take on You Don't Love Me. This show is also significant because just over a month later, on October 29, Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident. Download this soundboard recording, therefore, to hear one of the last live performances by the legendary guitarist and founder of the band.
