Allmans Beef Up Beacon Run

The Allman Brothers’ annual New York City residency just got a whole lot fatter with the addition of five new shows at the Beacon Theatre.

The additional shows represent a benchmark of sorts for The Allman Brothers Band, bringing the group’s lifelong number of gigs at the venue to 200, a figure that might have been met last year if only scheduling conflicts hadn’t forced the residency to switch to the United Palace.

This year’s NYC residency, which has been taking place since 1989, also marks the 40th anniversary of the band’s classic live album, At The Fillmore East. Recorded during a two-night stand in March 1971, At The Fillmore East has since been chosen by the Library of Congress to be included in the National Recording Registry.
