Throwback Thursday | Allman Brothers With Bruce Hornsby 1991

The inaugural Laid Back Festival will take place August 29 at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, New York. Curated and headlined by The Allman Brothers Band’s Gregg Allman, the one-day festival will feature his ABB bandmate’s Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band, along with Doobie Brothers, Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers and City Of The Sun, with more acts expected to be added. There’s a JamBase pre-sale for tickets to the Laid Back Festival running through 10 p.m. tonight, Thursday, April 30. To purchase pre-sale tickets, head to LiveNation.com and use the code “JAMBASE” while supplies last. For today’s Throwback Thursday watch Gregg & Co. in a pro-shot The Allman Brothers Band show from 1991 featuring a very special guest who’ll be performing at the Laid Back Festival.

Most The Allman Brothers Band fans have a favorite lineup and if you exclude the original Duane-led formation of the group, there are many who swear by the 1989 -1997 lineup of Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks, Jaimoe, Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, Marc Quinones and Allen Woody. Dickey’s sound was so immensely integral to the Allmans during those years.

For The Allman’s February 23, 1991 show at Rafter’s in Crested Butte, Colorado, the band was joined by keyboardist Bruce Hornsby for “Southbound” towards the beginning of the evening and then “One Way Out” and “Ramblin’ Man” later in the show. There’s plenty of other awesomeness to be found within a well-jammed “True Gravity,” a stirring “Blue Sky,” an explosive “Liz Reed” and Betts and Haynes dueling it out on the “Whipping Post” finale.
