Allman Brothers 1972 - Same Tour, Different Show Double Play - #1: On October 29, 1971, the Allman Brothers Band lost their co-founder, brother, guitarist, and spiritual leader in a tragic motorcycle accident. The death of Duane Allman could have crippled the band, but brother Greg, Dickie Betts, Berry Oakley Butch Trucks, Jai Johanny Johanson and Berry Oakley soldiered on. They went back out on the road in 1972, with Oakley playing a major role in keeping the band together, both on and off the stage. Incredibly, Oakley, the new de facto leader of the band would meet the same fate as his predecessor. He also died in a motorcycle accident, in November 1972, just over a year after Duane, at an intersection 3 blocks from where the guitarist perished. Even that tragedy, however, could not stop the Allmans. In 1973 they who once again rose from the ashes, releasing the single Ramblin’ Man which went to #2 on the Billboard charts. This soundboard recording captures the band, on their first tour without Duane, on April 16, 1972, 51 years ago today, at the Academy of Music in New York City. Download this one, then come back on April 18 for the 2nd part of this Same Tour, Different Show Double Play.

Thanks Speedy. A real nice treat for 4/16. .. Hugh
It never ceases to amaze me how much Duane Allman had inspired the band, in such a short time. He burned so brightly throughout the incarnations to come. From the mid 70s to '89 they stumbled a little with line-ups and break ups before Dickey returned bringing 'youngster' Warren Haynes and new life to the band.
The '72 tour was a first step into an uncertain future, and thank you for posting this show, one i hadn't heard before.
Stay well.
@Hugh & Howlingwilf - my pleasure, my friends. Enjoy the tunz and stay well!
Nice writeup and can't wait to hear the show.
