Allman Brothers Releasing Duane Allman's Final NYC Performance
. Live From A&R Studios: New York, August 26, 1971 will be released on April 1. The live radio broadcast, which originally aired on WPLJ, features the band steamrolling through a set of songs including "Statesboro Blues," "Trouble No More," "One Way Out," "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "Hot 'lanta." The recording was widely bootlegged, but has been remixed from the original multi-track recording. It features ABB's original line up: Duane Allman, Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Jaimoe, Berry Oakley and Butch Trucks. It marks the last NYC performance of guitarist Duane Allman, who died eight weeks later in a motorcycle accident on Oct. 2, 1971 at the age of 24. One stand out moment of the recording is a tribute to the late-King Curtis. The R&B saxophonist was murdered on his New York doorstep just two weeks before the Allmans' broadcast. The band honored the legend by performing an epic 19-plus-minute medley of Willie Cobb's "You Don't Love Me" and Curtis' 1964 instrumental "Soul Serenade."
