ALLMAN BROTHERS: An Allman-Less Show

The Allman Brothers wrapped up their 10-night stand at New York's Beacon Theatre Sunday night without their namesake, Gregg Allman. It was the first time they've ever performed without an Allman brother. Gregg has a bulging disc in his back that flared up, making it too painful for him to get on stage. His spokesman tells us he'll be evaluated and will undergo treatment at home in Savannah, Georgia, adding that "his condition is currently day to day, but he expects to meet all his confirmed obligations"

The band called in a number of special guests, including John Popper from Blues Traveler, Jimmy Hall from Wet Willie, keyboardist Bruce Katz from Allman's solo band and drummer Anton Fig from the David Letterman band.

Next up for the Allman Brothers is their annual Wanee Festival in Live Oak, Florida, April 20th and 21st.
