Allman Brothers Band - 1973-09-26 - San Francisco, CA (FM)

The Allman Brothers entered the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, alongside Neil Young, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Al Green, Frank Zappa & Martha and the Vandellas. Willie Nelson made the induction speech for the Allmans. Greg later admitted that he was drunk for most of the week leading up and including the induction ceremony. He was embarrassed by that fact and afterward went into rehab to get clean and sober.

Our post celebrating the Allman's induction goes back to 1973, a year in which the band rebounded from the tragic motorcycle deaths of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley to reach new heights of success and popularity. In the summer of 1973, they toured with the Grateful Dead, culminating in the legendary show before 600,000 fans at Watkins Glen. In September, they released the single Ramblin Man, which would become their only top 10 hit, climbing all the way to #2 on the Billboard charts. Ironically, the tune that kept Ramblin’ Man out of the top spot was Half Breed by Cher, who would go on to marry Greg Allman in 1975. Later that month, on September 26, 1973, 42 years ago today, the Allman’s took the stage at Winterland, with a crowd about 1/100 the size of that at Watkins Glen. Playing the legendary San Francisco venue as a favor to long time friend and promoter Bill Graham, the Allmans delivered yet another scorching performance.
