Last Allman Brothers Band Show Ever Released Ten Years Later As ‘Final Concert 10-28-14’ [Stream]

In 2014, after 45 years of unforgettable performances that helped shape the landscape of rock and blues music forever, the Allman Brothers Band played its final concert, appropriately, at New York City’s Beacon Theatre—a venue synonymous with the band’s legacy. Now, ten years after that historic farewell, fans can once again experience the final chapter of the band’s storied saga with the release of Final Concert 10-28-14 via Peach Records.

Remastered with pristine sound, the three-disc collection brings listeners back to that fateful October night, capturing the raw emotion, electric energy, and unmatched musicianship of the Allman Brothers Band as the group took its final bow. The set is now available digitally, with a physical release—featuring a 16-page booklet of exclusive photos and liner notes—coming on November 22nd.

“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,” recalled Marc Quinones. “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.”

The Beacon Theatre was the perfect place for ABB’s farewell. The Upper West Side venue had become a second home for the Allman Brothers, hosting their annual spring “March Madness” residencies for decades. For 238 consecutive sold-out shows, fans from around the world flocked to see the band, transforming the theater into a holy place of pilgrimage and musical house of worship. As Duane Allman once put it long before the band’s Beacon days, “We’re spreading a religion here.”

In crafting its final setlist, the band aimed to celebrate both its roots and its evolution. With input from all members, lead guitarist Warren Haynes curated a nearly 30-song performance that spanned six albums and featured covers of blues standards that shaped the band’s sound. It was a celebration of the original six members—Duane Allman, Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks, and Jaimoe—while also spotlighting the group’s later lineup, which included Derek Trucks, Oteil Burbridge, and Quinones.

The show kicked off with a tender performance of Duane’s instrumental “Little Martha” by Warren and Derek. What followed was a three-hour marathon beginning with the thunderous timpani of “Mountain Jam”. Gregg’s commanding growl on “It’s Not My Cross to Bear”, the triple-percussion attack of “One Way Out”, and the guitar interplay between Warren and Derek on “The High Cost of Low Living” were just a few highlights of the first set.

The second set dug even deeper into the band’s catalog as ABB ripped through classics like “Statesboro Blues”, the tear-jerking “Dreams”, and a scorching rendition of Elmore James’ “The Sky is Crying”. The career-spanning journey showed the band’s full range, from moments of delicate reflection to fiery, full-throttle jams.

Then came the third set—an unprecedented finale that stretched late into the night. It began with Gregg’s heartfelt “Melissa” and featured the return of “Mountain Jam”, which seamlessly segued into a surprise: the band’s debut of the gospel classic “Will the Circle Be Unbroken”, a nod to the group’s roots in Southern spirituals. And then, as the clock struck midnight, the unmistakable thump of Oteil Burbridge’s bass kicked off “Whipping Post”, the song that had become synonymous with the Allman Brothers’ live performances. As the audience soaked in the power and emotion of the final notes, the reality of the moment set in—this was truly the end.

Before leaving the stage, Gregg, Butch, and Jaimoe each offered their thanks to the audience, and Butch Trucks delivered one final, fitting statement: “We’re going to bookend the Allman Brothers Band… end it with the song we started with.” With that, the band closed out its legendary career with a brief yet poignant version of Muddy Waters’ “Trouble No More”, the first song the band ever played together back in 1969.

The release of the Allman Brothers Band’s Final Concert 10-28-14 offers a chance to relive that magical night or experience it for the first time. For anyone who loves the Allman Brothers, it’s a powerful reminder of the legacy they left behind. As Marc Quinones aptly put it: “Long live the ABB!”
