TICKETS TORN IN HALF(My 31st ABB Show) August 24, 2004: THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND@ Jones Beach, Wantagh aka “THE NO FUN ZONE”. This is a Tuesday night gig. We have 12 seats and a tailgate party pre show. The STATE POLICE were patrolling every inch of the parking area. Solo cups abound because the “no cans, no bottles, no fun” rule was in effect.Overall, after the festivities outside the arena, inside THIS WAS AN AMAZING SHOW and for many reasons. The opening number was Dr. John’s “Walk On Guilded Splinters” and the encore “Layla”, both song being first listens for me in an ABB concert setting. Derek Trucks did reprise his role as slide expert similar to when he played with Clapton so needless to say he nailed LAYLA, as did his counterpart on guitar Warren Haynes. Both GREGG and Warren on vocals were a treat. Even though we don’t like the Beach scene this was a great night with friends and family enjoying the ABB under the stars.
