| The Allman Brothers Band playing at the Beacon Theatre in March 2009. |
Many Allman Brothers fans such as myself had an extra reason to feel thankful last week, because it was announced that the long-running band would be returning to the Beacon Theatre in March 2011 for its usual long run of shows.
Here are the specifics, from an e-mail I got from the Allman Brothers Band mailing list:
"In just a little over 3 months, the Allman Brothers Band will be back where they belong, at the Beacon Theatre in NYC. The specific dates are March 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 18 and 19. That’s what we call March Gladness!! Whoo hoo!
Tickets for all 8 shows go on sale tomorrow, December 4, at 11:00 A.M. via TicketMaster."
Allman Brothers Band tickets at the Beacon Theatre always sell fast, even with this many shows, so be ready to go online at 11 a.m. Saturday morning.
Like many other fans, I was scratching my head last Spring when the Allmans were bumped from the Beacon, where they have done a number of shows each March for many years, to make room for a Cirque de Soleil show called "Banana Schpeel." The Allmans were moved way uptown to the United Palace Theatre, but the sound and ambience weren't the same.
So it's great to hear that the Brothers will be heading back to their home in New York, the Beacon.
