The road goes on forever, and sometimes it leads back to a night worth remembering. The legacy of Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Gregg Allman gains another powerful chapter with the release of Gregg Allman Band – One Night In DC, May 15, 1984. Pulled from Allman’s personal archives, this full-length live album captures the soulful fire of a band in full stride, recorded before a sold-out crowd at The Bayou in Washington, D.C. With a stellar lineup, including Gregg on vocals and organ, Danny and Frankie Toler, Bruce Waibel, Tim Heding, Gregg Voorhees, and Chaz Trippy. Opening with a dream-soaked take on Dreams, the performance showcases a band hardened by three years of relentless touring. As Gregg once said:
Our music makes them happy… that’s why I play.
The 12-track set is a whirlwind of Southern blues, rock ’n’ roll sweat, and signature Allman soul, featuring beloved Allman Brothers Band staples like Statesboro Blues, Midnight Rider, Melissa, and a searing finale of One Way Out. Tracks like Sweet Feelin’, Yours For The Asking, and Faces Without Names reveal Allman’s deep love for R&B and raw emotional honesty. Experience a night where the blues burned bright and the spirit of Southern rock found new life under the D.C. lights here.
