“Having joined the Allman Brothers Band in 1991, I had no idea what I was getting myself into as a percussionist joining two drummers on stage,” percussionist Marc Quinones notes looking back. “Fast forward 23 years to the last show we played as the Allman Brothers Band. I feel honored to have been part of such a historical musical force that was and is the ABB. Love live the ABB!”
The Beacon was the appropriate location for the ABB to make its last stand; the Allmans had logged more appearances there than any other venue and had also set a Broadway record, with 237 consecutive sold-out shows at the venerable hall. Starting in 1989, the Allman’s annual run at the Beacon became a rite of passage in Manhattan; “March Madness,” ABB-style, marked the first sign of spring in NYC. Fans from around the globe traveled to the Upper West Side to be captivated by the group’s riveting shows. As Duane Allman once said, “We’re spreading a religion here,” and the Beacon became a musical house of worship.
Although there was still some gas in the tank, the members of the band – founders Gregg Allman (Hammond B-3 organ, piano, acoustic guitar, vocals), Jaimoe (Drums) and Butch Trucks (Drums, tympani), along with longtime cohorts Warren Haynes (Lead and slide guitar, vocals), Derek Trucks (Lead and slide guitar), Marc Quinones (Congas, percussion, vocals) and Oteil Burbridge (Bass, Vocals) – concluded it was best to go out on top.

Almost 30 songs, drawn from six ABB albums, along with three strong covers that represented the musical trajectory of the group.
A gentle snippet from Duane’s composition “Little Martha,” performed by Warren and Derek, kicked off the performance; then the rolling tympani introduction to “Mountain Jam” ratcheted up the intensity, and the group never looked back. The first set found the ABB in top form, with brilliance throughout: Gregg’s growl on “Not My Cross to Bear,” Jaimoe, Butch and Marc pounding through “One Way Out,” the soaring guitar interplay of “High Cost of Low Living,” a “Blue Sky” nod to Dickey Betts, and an emotional “Soul Serenade” tease in “You Don’t Love Me.”
Set Two featured vintage ABB tunes, including a stomping “Statesboro Blues,” the poignant “Ain’t Wasting Time No More,” a scorching “The Sky is Crying,” and an ethereal “Dreams.” The band took a break before heading into an unprecedented third set, making this one of the longest shows in Allman Brothers history.
A tender “Melissa” started the final act of the Allman Brothers Band, along with a return to “Mountain Jam,” which included a segue into the appropriate “Will the Circle be Unbroken,” a song this iteration of the group had never played.
