Don't know why UCR is touting the Macon City Auditorium show as being "never before heard," as it was released several years back.

Allman Brothers Band to Release Vintage Recordings

Next month the Allman Brothers Band will release two live shows from their early ’70s height as a southern rock superpower. Recordings from a show played just months after Duane Allman died, and another after the death of Berry Oakley show the group in very different incarnations.

Today’s press release reveals that the high-quality recordings include one never-before-heard show, the Feb. 11, 1972 date in Macon, Ga. This hometown show at the City Auditorium is captured on two discs. The five-member band work through many of their hits including an over 21-minute version of ‘You Don’t Love Me.’

The May 1, 1973 at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y. is more extensive. Lamar Williams had joined the band at that point, and four versions of songs from the new live recordings have never appeared on a live album before. This two-disc set features an over 31-minute long version of ‘Mountain Jam.’

Both projects will be released through the Allman Brothers Recording Company record label on Feb. 12.

This is a marketing response to the Duane box set. It is almost criminal that there are some great Allman Brothers Band studio & live out-takes that are still unreleased due to disputes between Gregg, etc and Universal Music over these tapes.

Is that just speculation?

No question about it. The timing is not just a coincidence.

The Nassau '73 tape is a tough listen. The recording is rough and Gregg's all in the left channel.

So let me get this straight... TPTB are somehow capitalizing on a Duane Allman release by reissuing two live recordings from after Duane's death that obviously do not include him?

Okay, I'll admit it -- I came up with the marketing campaign against the Duane box. What could be more Evil?

Not well conceived, but evil.

It's frustrating that they would reissue these CDs, which most fans already have, when there are so many shows waiting to be released.
