Allman Brothers - Manic Depression - 3/11/11 - Beacon Theater, NYC

Rumblin version of the Hendrix song. Right out of Maydell. Oteil on vocals. And his bass is thumping.Listen to Oteil. Awesome. Dont have to tell you about the guitars.
Such a difference from last year, when they were evicted from the Beacon due to a contract with Cirque Du Soleil, and forced to play at the United Palace Theater way uptown after playing the past 20 years at the Beacon every March.
Energy at the Beacon is tough to match- and that helps the band fire it up BIGTIME.
Great show. The 2nd of 13 nights here in NYC for the annual residency.

Tonight a few guest spots- Gregg's son Devon played on Key to the Highway,
Randall Bramlett blew his sax for a tune in the first set- slips my mind right now, and on the Same Thing in the 2nd set, which featured a great jam between Bramlett, Derek and Warren.
And Jimmy Vivino joined for the FANTASTIC 'Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?'
That was the shit.
See you later

@frawgeyez They didn't turn into a jam band. They are the founding fathers of jam bands.

@joebrassmonkey I was born in 1947 and been a huge Allman Brothers fan since 1970. The original lineup was by far the best. This lineup, as good as the musicians are, doesn't come close. They don't swing and mesh together like the original. Listen to Live At Fillmore East or the live stuff from Eat A Peach. And the extended live Eat A Peach. This version of the band just doesn't swing like a big band as did the original lineup on songs like Trouble No More and Statesboro Blues.

This is very interesting. I would never have even thougth of someone doing much of Hendrix's songs. The Allman Brothers Band do an excellent version. Thanks. When Jimi Hendrix left this world; i was looking for a new sounding band. My friend played me The Allman Brothers Band and now hooked! lol

Dangerous to play Hendrix straight out. Interpret it, sure, but don't do a "cover." Stevie Ray never nailed it, but he had the right spirit -- three-man band! This is heavy junk. But, as an after-hours cool down for a country band, it's cool. More power to 'em.

Aaaa... I really hate it that the Allman Brothers have turned into a jam band. Something about the syncopation of this song is off, but that's their style, and that makes it good music. It's pretty cool to see a classic group take on a classic song done by another artist.

@Trademark691 What about my funny? I didn't know a funny was something you could own. Oh wait - you meant to say "you're", right? Perhaps a little remedial English course might do you some good?

[Trademark691]

@CashWatkins Oh your funny...

[CashWatkins]

@Trademark691 I have a knack for telling the truth and being honest. People like you suck, lie and hide behind secrets your whole fucking life.

[Trademark691]

@CashWatkins Jesus, you have a knack for trying to offend people...by the way, what qualifies you in your so called "music knowledge"

[CashWatkins]

@Trademark691 And you're a cock-slurping, prostate-tweaking faggot.  Hope this helps you out.

[CashWatkins]

@Trademark691 No. I think you're gay because you act so much like a fucking pussy. Sorry you had to find out this way.
