Allman Brothers @ The Beacon - 3/22/2011

Ridiculous show, awesome seats.  Smoking start with Statesboro (nice call Peter) followed by Come and Go/Hot 'Lanta.  The end of set 1 got crazy...Soulshine was broken out with a huge horn section and I thought that would close it out.  Instead, they brought out Rich Robinson and went right into The Weight, a huge treat to hear and it was played much differently from The Band's version, which is always cool.  At this point there were 14 people on stage.  Certain that The Weight would close the set, I was proven wrong yet again when they started up One Way out.

Set 2 was filled with much longer jams and more guests.  Black Hearted Woman and Jessica both had to be close to 20 minutes.  When they returned for the encore, I heard Derek noodling around and I was immediately ecstatic because I knew No One Left To Run With was coming (unless they decided to play Not Fade Away, which wasn't happening).  Definitely one of my favorite Allman songs and I've been hoping to catch it for a while now.  Certainly didn't disappoint as Warren and Derek ripped through the song and teased Blue Sky along the way.  Great to be back at the Beacon...round 2 Saturday night for the final show of this run.  But first, Furthur @ Radio City on Friday.
