Throughout the years, I have seen the Allmans many times, but this was the first time seeing them live, and it was awesome. I went with my friend Mark and we had to rely on our parents to shuttle us to and from the show. But what a show it was! The Sunrise was such a small, intimate venue, and our seats were very close to the stage. They played for a long time, even though the number of actual songs was relatively small, but they jammed each song to the fullest, including a version of “Whipping Post” that must have been at least 20 minutes.
I was able to locate the setlist from the show, so here it is.
- Don’t Want You No More
- It’s Not My Cross to Bear
- In Memory of Elizabeth Reed
- I Got a Right to Be Wrong
- From the Madness of the West
- Angeline
- Southbound
- One Way Out
- Jessica
- Whipping Post
- Midnight Rider

Hi Jeff! Although I was never a huge Allman Brothers fan, I always liked the song Jessica, which my brother played a lot at home! Nice to see it on the set list!

Yeah, I always felt the Allmans were the best of all the “Southern” rock bands. They kind of brought the jam band feel to the Southern rock. I had tickets once to see The Grateful Dead and the Allmans together, but they cancelled the show 😦 It was painful having to return that ticket.
