Photo Gallery: The Allman Brothers Band 3.26.11 ~ Beacon Theatre
Here are some pictures from the final night of the Allman Brothers’ 2011 run at the Beacon. This was the 200th show the band performed at the legendary theatre, and included special guests such as original Howlin’ Wolf guitarist Hubert Sumlin, the great Dr. John, Susan Tedeschi, Nigel Hall and more. Hopefully, these galleries will become a regular occurrence to share some of my live concert experiences with ya’ll.
