On October 28, 2014 the Allman Brothers Band performed their final concert at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.
A lot has changed in the world of the Allman Brothers since that October evening. Sadly, original members Gregg Allman and Butch Trucks have both passed away. Guitarist Derek Trucks has found success with his wife Susan Tedeschi as the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Bassist Oteil Burbridge has hooked up with memebers of the Grateful Dead to form Dead and Company. Guitarist Warren Haynes has had continued success as a solo artist and with his band Gov't Mule.
It's hard to believe five years has gone by since the Allman Brothers Band last took the stage. Sure, it was a much different outfit than it was when it started. However, the lineup during their last concert reflected a lengthy period of stability in the band and saw them firing on all cylinders.
This is evidenced with their fantastic performance of "Whipping Post," the second to last song they played live. Following the song, founding members Gregg Allman and Jaimoe giving a speech to the audience and saying thanks.
