Allman Brothers Band - 1980-09-21 - Den Haag, Netherlands (FM)

Few bands are more linked together in musical history than the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers. The San Francisco psychedelic pioneers and the Macon Georgia Southern rockers both were renowned for their improvisational jams. Both bands had 2 drummers, had roots in blues, country, jazz, folk and bluegrass, and suffered tragic losses in the early 1970s only to rise to new heights. They played 3 dates together in February 1970 at the Fillmore East. Both bands were connected to Bill Graham, and as a result frequently headlined both Fillmores. In fact, the Allmans closed the Fillmore East, while the Dead did likewise at the Fillmore West. In  1973, the 2 bands played together for 3 shows that summer, on June 9 and 10 in Washington DC and on July 28 at Watkins Glen. At those shows, various band members shared the stage together during the encores. On December 31, 1973, the Grateful Dead took a rare break from performing on New Year’s Eve, so who else but the Allman Brothers stepped in to play a show at the Cow Palace. Of course, the Dead couldn’t stay away completely, as Garcia and Kreutzman showed up to join the Allmans for the encores. The relationship between the 2 bands continues long after the 1970s.  For example, Warren Haynes played lead guitar for Allmans, The Dead and Phil Lesh & Friends. And in March 2009, during the Allman's 40th anniversary series of concerts at the Beacon, who else showed up for the last night of the run but none other than Bob Weir and Phil Lesh. This FM broadcast captures the Allamans in the Netherlands on September 21, 1980, 37 years ago today.
