The Brothers: March 10, 2020 Madison Square Garden [Blu-ray]

Концертный Blu-ray "Brothers: March 10, 2020 Madison Square Garden" выходит в честь 50-летия группы Allman Brothers и является последним крупным концертом, который состоялся в Нью-Йорке, прежде чем город был закрыт из-за Covid-19. В композициях преобладал южный рок, но коллектив легко переходил к современному джазу, глубокому блюзу и индийским рагам.

Основанная в 1969 году Дуэйном и Греггом Оллманами, группа Братьев Оллман за последние полвека многократно сменила набор участников и теперь выступает под новым названием. Группа Brothers состоит из участников легендарного коллектива Allman Brothers Band (ABB): барабанщика «Jaimoe» Johanson , гитаристов Уоррена Хейнса и Дерека Трака, басиста Отейла Барбриджа и перкуссиониста Марка Квинонса. Также в качестве специального гостя присоединился бывший клавишник ABB и давний гастрольный участник the Rolling Stones Чак Ливелл. 

On March 11th, 2020, hours before the United States came to a grinding halt due to the pandemic, The Brothers gathered at Madison Square Garden to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Allman Brothers Band. The concert would prove to be the last public outing for many attendees—as well as the musicians onstage—for over a year. This only added to the mysticism of the event that closed the book on half a century of musical tradition.

Featuring performances by original ABB drummer Jaimoe alongside extended Allman family members Duane Trucks, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Oteil Burbridge, and Marc Quinones, The Brothers also sees special appearances by original pre-ABB project Second Coming keyboardist Reese Wynans as well as Chuck Leavell, who played with the band from 1972 to 1976.

“It was a one-off celebration of 50 years of the band and it was sold out. But I know a bunch of people who had tickets who didn’t come,” Derek Trucks told Rolling Stone in the days following the concert. “My parents were unable to make it. They were worried about traveling and their doctor told them not to hop on a plane to New York. So that was bittersweet in a lot of ways. You wish it had been slammed to the rafters and everyone wouldn’t have had that in the back of their mind.”
