March 1st is the kick off of The Allman Brothers March Madness Peakin' at The Beacon 11 shows. There is some sadness involved this year as "Dangerous" Dan Toler, one time member of the band, just recently passed away from ALS. He was not only an amazing guitarist but a super nice guy as well. He not only played with The Allman Brothers band but as part of Dickey Betts and Grreat Southern as well as The Gregg Allman Band. In fact the first time I saw Dan play was with Gregg on the "I'm No Angel" tour when they opened for Stevie Ray Vaughn at The Pier in Manhattan. Truly a mind blowing show !!! Below is a pic of Dan and I taken in California back in 2007. Rest in Peace Dan !!!
I can't even begin to tell you how many Allman Brothers shows I've seen. I have been bringing them on stage at The Beacon for a bunch of years now and also enjoying their shows in a variety of venues. Below is a picture of some of my Allman's ticket stubs and backstage passes. The band has been bringing guests out on stage at each show during The Beacon run for the last few years. I've been there to see them with Sheryl Crow, The Asbury Juke horns and a whole lot more. I have just recently been told that the Juke Horns will be joining The Allmans on Tuesday and Wednesday March 5th and 6th. So get there in plenty of time if you have tickets for either of those nights because the horns tear it up !!!
