MUSIC NEWS- THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND have announced their return to the concert road with select shows confirmed in November 2010. This will mark GREGG ALLMAN’s first live performances since his successful liver transplant surgery back in June. The iconic Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band, ALLMAN (vocals and keyboards), BUTCH TRUCKS (drums and tympani), JAIMOE (drums), WARREN HAYNES (vocals, lead and slide guitar), DEREK TRUCKS (slide and lead guitar), OTEIL BURBRIDGE (bass) and MARC QUINONES (congas and percussion); announces an East Coast intimate theatre tour of “Evening With” shows including three nights at Boston’s prestigious Orpheum Theatre starting November 18 (more firm dates to be announced shortly).
The group was unfortunately forced to cancel a June 26 appearance at Eric Clapton’s “Crossroads” music festival in Chicago, as a liver became available for ALLMAN, who has since been recovering at home and is excited about getting back on the road. “I’m ready,” said GREGG recently, who spent time in the Jacksonville area after the surgery, before returning to his Georgia home where he has been spending time with his children, family and friends. “I’ve been itching to play since I got the operation and am glad to be back. Can’t thank everyone enough for their help and support.”
Tickets for the Boston gigs go on sale Thursday, August 12 starting at 10am at LiveNation.com, Ticketmaster outlets, and at the Orpheum Theater box office.
