The other elements, like the dual drummer plus percussionist that kept up a rolling thunder behind the guitars and Gregg Allman’s plaintive keyboards and vocals, are still intact.<img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0UnZ4o_0wNrw6JK00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0UnZ4o_0wNrw6JK00" width="1280" height="720" >The show is heavy on the Duane-era of the band and includes Gregg’s Ain’t Wasting Time No More which he wrote for his brother after his death. And midway through a “proper” 20-minute Mountain Jam they segue into Will The Circle Be Unbroken which they played at Duane’s funeral. It’s left to Haynes to pay tribute to Dickey Betts (who left the band in 2000) by singing Blue Sky.The only relatively recent song is The High Cost Of Low Living from 2003’s Hittin’ The Note. After a rousing 16-minute Whipping Post, the normally taciturn Gregg gives a short but eloquent speech before leading the band into the first song they ever played together – Muddy Waters’ Trouble No More.Allman Brothers Band: Final Concert 10-28-14: Price ComparisonWe check over 250 million products every day for the best pricespowered by Hugh Fielder has been writing about music for 47 years.
