Tomorrow night (Oct 21st) starts the first of six shows at the Beacon Theater in NYC that will end their storied 45 years of music together. Certainly they would never be the same again after the death of Duane, but some of the newer players (Warren, Derek, and Oteil (plus Woody, RIP)) have provided me many a magical night of music. Saw my first show in '91 and have seen about 20-25 Allmans shows. I was lucky enough to score tickets for their final performance. Gonna miss them.
