Continuing an over-decade-long tradition, the Allman Brothers Band will open its 2003 touring season with a lengthy run of dates at New York’s Beacon Theatre.
The Southern rockers are scheduled to perform at the venue on March 13-15, 17-18 and 20-22, according to promoters. Tickets for all shows hit the market at 10 a.m. on Friday (12/6).
The band’s sold-out, nine-show run at the Beacon in 2002 grossed more than $1.6 million, according to Pollstar. In 2000, the band released the live album “Peakin’ at the Beacon,” which was culled from that year’s concert series at the venue.
The band’s lineup for most 2002 dates included Gregg Allman (vocals, keyboards), Butch Trucks (percussion), Derek Trucks (guitar), Marc Quinones (percussion), Oteil Burbridge (bass), Jaimoe (percussion) and Warren Haynes (guitar).
Dicky Betts, the band’s founding guitarist, hasn’t toured with the Allmans since a falling-out with the group in 2000.
A new Allman Brothers Band studio album has been in the works, but no release date has been set.
