"Brother Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Butch Trucks, Jai Johanny Johanson, and re­cent additions Lamar Wil­liams and Chuck Leavell make up the Allman Brothers Band now. They faithfully continue to play the music that has made them the most influential rock band in the South, with one certain excep­tion. Dickey Betts now plays lead where Duane used to be heard, and although he is joy­ful hell on guitar, the intricate upper register harmonies that were once the band’s calling card, must now be supplied by memory.⁠

The band began, fol­lowing a lengthy intermission, by jolting the audience out of typical mid-evening lassitude with a more or less standard repertoire, including: States­boro Blues, Stormy Monday, Done Somebody Wrong, Whip­ping Post and Elizabeth Reed. Dickey Betts revealed some subdued new slide work on a couple of fresh tunes, but the band’s precipitous no-nonsense retreat following two hour-­long sets clearly left the audi­ence completely out to lunch. The standing ovation they gave lasted 10 minutes." Ben Meyerson
