1976:  As mentioned in our previous post today, Southern Rock was at its peak in the mid 1970s. In fact the genre was so big, that a double bill of Southern rockers could sell our the 20,000 seat Nassau Coliseum in New York  The Marshall Tucker Band led in for The Allman Brothers ion March 13, 1976, 41 years ago today, and both sets were broadcast live on WNEW-FM. Incredibly, Southern rock would plummet almost as it quickly as it rose to prominence. By the end of 1976, the Allmans would split apart  due to drug issues, legal conflicts and numerous tensions between band members. Despite a successful reunion in 1979, highlighted by the release of the album Enlightened Rougues, the Allmans were still a band in serious trouble. Their record label, Capricorn, collapsed later in the year due to financial issues as Southern Rock simply was losing popularity amidst the punk and new wave revolution. By 1982, the band would again break up, and stay apart for another 7 years until a resurgence in the 1990s!

The Allmans have been my favorite of all bands for nigh on fifty years. Not every incarnation, but most. Thanks for this and your other ABB posts, just a shame so many are on filefactory - takes soooo long.

Not a lot of '76 recordings out there.

This will be an interesting listen, being as it's right on the cusp of the break-up.
