Southern Jam: New York 1978

3xLP, WHITE/RED/BLUE Colored Vinyl. Previously released on CD and digital only in 2017 this 110-minute concert performance from Dickey Betts,the legendary Allman Brothers Band guitarist, was recorded at the Calderone Concert Hall on Long Island, New York on August 11, 1978. The show features 13 tracks including the ABB classics "Jessica", Southbound", "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed", "Blue Sky" and "Ramblin Man" along with tracks from the 1977 album from his Great Southern band. The triple LP set will be packaged in a gatefold sleeve with new liner notes from Allman Bros biographer Alan Paul, memorabilia and photos. Dickey's recent passing has created a heightened appreciation and demand for his music and this brilliant performance on vinyl is certain to be highly collectible. The Allman Brothers Band's At Fillmore East, was of course the album that captured the original Allman Brothers Band at their high water mark, showcasing a group as original and fiery as any ever to take a stage, spotlighting and fueled by Betts and Duane Allman's remarkable playing. It's the ghost that the band and all its members were always chasing. Performances like the one heard here show remind us how large of a part Betts played in the ABB's brilliance and how he could summon the musical Gods on his best nights throughout his career. "When Dickey was feeling like this, his playing floated over time and existed on its own place. This performance is as good as any that I can recall the band doing."
