ALLMAN BROTHERS EVICTED FROM NYC'S BEACON THEATER

[MrOhjok]

I am usually not so harsh, but this is an example of politics and persuasion. The gay community and wealthy art world have spoken..and the ABB has to go. Sickening.

[caveman1968]

do it in NC or georgia. somewhere duane woulda enjoyed better anyway

[snsd911]

Fuck the Cirque!



[dropdeadstoner]

The chance! The chance! Come back!!

[stretchgilbert]

R U FUCKING KIDDING ME?????

[rollando32able]

I went to see Santana and Average White Band, inside Beacon T. Clapton once play with Duane Allman with Dereck and the Dominoes. Duane (por lo regular en Austin Texas, estan las raises espanolas, ahi estan los mejores guitarristas.

[phallystorm]

Kid Rock?? WTF is he doing in this part of Universe of the ALLMANS? Maybe he sucks off all of their dicks in the back rehearsal rooms while they practice before going onstage? You don't see him hanging out with BLS Zakk Wylde, and Co.? What a faggot heis the KID. Stay the Fuck in Detroit, and continue rapping. Is he confused as to what musical style made him in the 1st place? Of, its that there is no market in Rap if you are not Black? Yes,Kid, now Go sample some Pink FLoyd , and switch gears

[Geo69xr]

WTF was Kid Rock doing there ? , he sucks !!!

[loanman]

They will be back in 2011 !!!

[Wambizzle6]

Unbelievable! What a drag. A truly great place to see the Bro.s Ima miss going to the beacon.

[Veimos]

@1971Goldtop Hey I know how you feel about Kid, I agree. But there has to be something about him that makes so many "greats" like him. I think it might have something to do with him unabashedly acknowledging those who inspired him. If nothing else, you gotta give him props for giving credit where credit is due.

[vinegaroon1]

I don't know why these giants (and others) allow a schlep like Kid Crock on the stage with them.

[bustballz]

kid rock lmfao...he has as much business being there as a monkey does being at a MENSA convention

[JustAintthatWay]

@bustballz now THAT was funny

[dgsutube01]

@bustballz - Perfect!

[stronghandyman]

well it woudln't hurt my feelings if the brothers moved the run here to philly. i love goin to nyc every year, best city in the world. they'll be at the tower theater nov. 11 and my m8's n' me got our tickets....cant' hardly wait! sho' nuf be a fine thing them boys side to bring it home to philly on a regular basis.......yessaw

[vtbluesboy]

People, how do you call yourselves fans of the ABB if you react so negatively to this tragic news? Life is not permanent, it is ever changing. One window closes, another opens. I wish Cirque de Sol good luck on their runs at the Beacon, may they have the joy and success the ABB have shared there for so many years. The future ABB shows in NYC will be great just like the run uptown was in March. Not better, not worse, but different, in a new venue with new spirits flying around.

Enjoy Peace

[ummerrahh]

Maybe Bono can save the day!

[kevkevkevkev4]

i saw there last how there with eric clapton

[jefferzone61]

kid rock??? what a poser!! must be related to somebody way up there because he's yet to show any talent......wasn't he some wigger rap scum from detroit once upon a time?

[br549sample]

Send those F'n Frenchies back where they came from. What garbage.

[redhairedlad]

I hope Cirque de Soleil falls on their candy asses at the Beacon. Those sons-of-bitches! But thanks for posting the spot.

[novascotiabob]

C<mon you guys..if there is anything in the world that characterizes this band it is their incredible ability to embrace changes...and it has given us what you see..and you guys can't move down the street? You just don't get it do you?

[dhz35]

I got to go to the second to last Beacon concert. I was invited by Butch himself. Met the most of the band backstage and I am only 17.

[cusick6364]

This is total bullshit!! Circus whatever the fuck?? We go every year to see the the allman brothers at the beacon, thats where they should be!! Now their at united palace somewhere up town..it sux..bring the Allman Bros back to the Beacon!!!

[Sendlgam]

Caught them at the Beacon in 2002 - Great show in a classic venue full of appreciative fans...will never forget it.

[pezzotttt95]

can anyone say me the name of the first song in this video? Really thanks!

[longknife4411]

one way out

[jrmrinaz]

@pezzotttt95 One Way Out --from Eat A Peach album

[buckfan1969]

Also on the Live at the Fillmore East album from 1971; possibly the greatest live recording of any band ever done.

[tj3921]

@buckfan1969 Not possibly, DEFINITELY!!!!!!!!!

[HerbBudworth]

Cirque du Sogay. Just sayin'...

[TheScoop1128]

dolan you drop dead you moron for dropping the allman bros

[IlyaKovalchuk1]

They need to perform at The Grand Opera House in Macon, GA.

[richardr105]

188 sold out shows in a row wasn't good enough over 18 years. Idiots!!

[BananaBreadMakesMe]

ha. and at ONE venue.

[4everHarleys]

That sucks big time.

[richardr105]

Dolan is an asshole

[Honeypietwinny]

That is so sad!!! I loved sneaking in the Beacon to see them.. My first show was 1991 when I was 16 with my Twin and my Dad!!! Wow!! What great memories!! My last show was 2001.. when I moved out of new York!! I love you guys and see you all somewhere else real soon!!!

[NurseSweetCheeks]

I think that's B.S! Beacon should be boycotted! Anyone interested?

[bettset]

fuck cirque de solei. no one else like abb--dumbass' don't know what talent is. probably ivy league educated business heads. fuck them

[NurseSweetCheeks]

Lmao!

[Stellablue03]

Disgraceful...totally sucks.

[hsp882]

thats fucking ridiculous, screw you msg and cablevision

[JMEsLittleBro]

This is sick news.......MSG is dissing the band thats kept the beacon alive for 20 years.....No goddam respect.....I hope Cirque de Solei ends up costing the pricks at MSG a bundle....

[jl7571677]

this may sound like a stupid question but how is MSG involved????

[hottuna076]

MSG and Dolan own the Beacon and other venues in the NYC area..

[hollygugl]

well weelll Find another place and be happy that u had this for sooooooo long rock on ,,,,,,, head south

[TonyTyler]

Actually, if it hadn't been for the wonderful ppl in NYC, the ABB wouldn't have been where they are (Live at Fillmore East) And I'm not biased, I''m from Macon GA myself :)

[bluesguy0524]

F Butchy and his a-hole attitude.

Bring Dickey back to the Almost Brothers Band.

[1worldcurrency]

No need, Dickie Betts and Great Southern is better than any ABB lineup.

If Dickie plays the Beacon, I'll buy 100 tickets.

[sharp1972]

yessssssssssssssssssssss!

[adamputnam]

Hell yeah, regan, love the idea, "The Big Peach"!!!!!

[MrSally56]

Cirque de Soleil ???? The faggots are taking over .

[gulfmar]

@MrSally56 Easy now hahahahahaha. Hey it's their loss. Who in the hell would want to watch that crap anyways. Like Butch says, they'll find another place.

[kindjim]

Come to Boston. Not a Cirque town

[C0leman]

Sick! Loved the shows at the beacon but if they find another venue then no worries! I'm glad I was able to catch one of the shows back in the Spring. But hey, maybe they'll find a venue where it won't be a big deal to light one up! I can't tell you how terrible the staff at the beacon is.

[walkfrree4112]

one southern rock band that has not lost its luster!! keep it up boys!!

[shermanstockton]

fuck circus 'o' gay

[Regan335dol]

I think that ABB should BUY a theatre in NY and call it "The Big Peach". It would not only help the economy, but help to continue the awesome concerts and the fans continuing devotion to the greatest band!!!

[Toris93]

whoa! the big hous and peach in one title! love it bro=) totaly agree, ive only seen videos because i live in shitty Norway of all places, but as i see it The allmans playing beacon is probably the only thing that can rival the energy, aura and passion of the fillmore gigs in the 60s. hope i get to experience it someday....

[dano1881]

Fuck you jim dolan, i will never support an enterprise that you or youy scumbag companies are associated with. i already had one foot out the door with the way you scumbags scuttled the west side stadium and your mismanagement of the knicks, bit this is the final straw. you people are absolute garbage and i truly and faithfully hope that you, jim dolan, impale yourself on a wrought iron fence. in all seriousness, jim, go fuck yourself.

[rotagen5]

Screw new york, replace it with a venue in San Fran.

[hypster908]

Yeah, I almost started crying after I heard this. I can understand them gearing down in 2010. Derek and Warren have their own bands to look after. But the Beacon was a sacred venue and to no longer see them there is awful.

[Phishphantom]

They must be considered in any conversation amongst the BEST American bands of all time!If not the BEST=)

[cassady41]

WOW, what a kick in the balls.

I knew something was drastically different when they closed The West Side Brewery and "Yogi's" right up the street from the Beacon.

[scarfacedan09]

HOW THE FUCK DID I MISS THIS SHOW!?!?!

[irishvic11]

DOLAN is an IDIOT!!!!!!

[aztiff]

this report doesn't explain anything. What, the theatre will host nothing but the cirque from here on out? That's impossible. Also, I have no idea what "dark" theatres on Bway can match the Beacon's acoustics.

[feliciatiana]

dickey betts was the allman brothers, without him there shit

[ramennoodelz]

dickey betts shouldve came back for the show but after the law suit i dont think so -__-

[joebrassmonkey]

He was invited, but chose not to come. It was his choice.

[marcmillman]

James Dolan & Cablevision suck!

[Wavingclouds]

Cirque ripped people off for child tickets in Hong Kong. They are also too expensive now.

[coldhitz]

That's some crap ! Midnite Rider until the end of days .

[Chaoschill]

Cirque de soliel is awesome... but why not like do both? They don't have to exclusively do one show.

[ubuibiok]

★★★★★

[SteveSparx]

business

[n00bm3ist3r]

man... that's horrible.
