Allmans Add More Beacon Shows

whooooooaaa nelly, peakin at the beacon to say the least, would love to catch one or all of these shows, unforturnaly probably not gonna happen...summer tour here i come...hopefully...a good show (or 15) to one and all..enjoy

Im betting dickey will show up.

could you imagine, Dickey, Warren, AND Derek? thats insane!

I read a quote from Butch Trucks that said he won't leak any of the special guests they are having, but he said he can gurantee that Dickey Betts will NOT be part of those shows.

aww bummer.

yea i read that too man....i dont get it

if phil and bobby were able to make up and get back on the road then why cant dickey and the brothers just reconcile their beef

something as great as MUSIC is much more important than the individual egos within it....

no if only these tickets were not sold through ticketb@stard, maybe i would get a chance to go see one of them. i won't be shelling out the bucks to get them through ticketsnow, that's for sure. we do need legislation in this country against scalping!

once again the rest of the country (outside of NY) is fuct.....yaaaaaaaaayyyy

yeah if betts showed up that would be badass tho, one can wish.....

that would be fucking amazing! please allman brother band play some sick festivals this summer! I seen them only once when I was 15 and it blew my mind! I hope to see these guys around they should open for the dead!!! at allstate!

You can catch all the Beacon shows for $100 for 6 months at moogis.com.

clapton and trey show up I bet

i love dickey just as much as the next guy, but lets be serious, the guy has a terrible drinking problem to a point where he can barely play. i saw him at the stone pony in new jersey two years ago, and the guy was so drunk he fell over on stage, and had to be picked up by his guitar tech. pretty sad..

agreed gratefullybred I'm satisfied with Derek 100%

ive seen dickey live every summer in my backyard for the last three years on the niagara river at artpark (free shows mind you) and each one has been top notch. lizz reed last summer was flawless.

methinks its a beautiful thing to be drunk for all the world

for art to exist a certain precondition is indispensible : INTOXICATION

im drunk

I'll be Peakin' at the Beacon 3/19-3/21st!!!!!! just booked my flights. The brothers are the most talented band touring right now. Period. I'll fight you if you disagree.

In my opinion there is nothing like seeing the Allmans live at the Beacon. It's totally intense. If you haven't experienced it yet, get a ticket when they go on sale on 2/6. It's totally worth it.

Derek kills it, but they are still bums for not bringing Dickey back. I would hardly call Greg extremely talented, but he has built a solid band around himself and his name. Dissing a founding member who did little to nothing wrong, especially compared to Greg, is a sad story and pretty much defines the band. How many songs will they play AT LEAST twice during this run? It will be fun and all, but 15 shows would get repeatitive even with all the guests they say they are bringing. Trucks Band will probably show up and be the highlight...which you can see touring small clubs near you. Worth the $ to stream on the internet though.

i think that the fans will see dickey betts live onstage and performing with the allman brothers band this year regardless of what butch or gregg allman are quoted as saying. nothing like saying something wont happen(working the media) to make fans want something all that more(*most* people want what they cant have). also consider this: if they(abb) were to officially announce "special guests" beforehand then the scalping situation(as bad as it already is now) would be/get even worse, imo. for example say that they announced betts and clapton and the specific dates that each were playing. those specific dates tickets would most likely be the ones that are exploited the most by ticket agencies/scalpers.

also as much as i love dickey betts i have to say that his current level of playing doesnt have a thing to do with him drinking alcohol or not drinking alcohol.

his hearing and arthritis have more to do with it.

St Paddy's @ The Beacon!!! Who else is going?

actually ive heard they are having john hammond. believe it or not they supposedly rehearsed in atlanta for a couple of days recently and are rehearsing songs(covers, though no new originals band penned compositions) theyve not ever played with specific guests in mind. also heard possibly leon russell and bonnie bramlett as they are both going to be in nyc during the run. and several more of duanes friends from back in the day. gonna be lots of guests. probably too many for my tastes but then its not my decision and i wont be there anyway. ill see them on the summer tour.

I've seen Dickey 5 times in the last two years and every time the band and Dickey himself have been top notch so I don't think the drinking is destroying this man. I saw the quotes from Butch, but there are also quotes from Derek saying the opposite, that he almost guarantees the reunion with Dicky. Got to love the guaranteed maybes

....Cause Trucks gives respect where respect is due. Take notes Greg!!

The wolf will howl, the pig will squeal. A indian chief told a squaw to bend um over for big chief. This run will have the Beacon on fire, I hope Dickey returns, new album " Maybe"

SCal never getz a run of shows like this, ever. Lucky east coasters!

Southern California doesn't(and won't get a "run" like the Beacon) get it often, but did in 2005. Southern California and California in general will get theirs on this 40th Anniversary.

you can never ever ever have too much allmans!!!!!!!!!

3/17 st pat with the allmans wooo..now im just wishin i saved more money
