The legendary live concert event paying tribute to the legacy of Gregg Allman, All My Friends: Celebrating the Songs & Voice of Gregg Allman, is now available on vinyl. The four-LP box set will be released on Sept. 30, with a number of limited-edition color variants available.
On Jan. 10, 2014, an all-star lineup of rock, blues and country musicians joined at Atlanta’s historic Fox Theatre to pay tribute to the life and music of Allman. Allman was joined onstage by an array of artists performing classics from his 40-plus years as a recording artist, encompassing his landmark work with the legendary Allman Brothers Band, as well as his solo career.
The slate of performers included Trace Adkins, Zac Brown, Jackson Browne, Eric Church, Dr. John, Brantley Gilbert, Vince Gill, Jimmy Hall, John Hiatt, Martina McBride, Taj Mahal, Pat Monahan, Keb’ Mo’, Sam Moore, Robert Randolph, and Widespread Panic. With musical direction by producer Don Was, several guest performers were also drawn from the Allman Brothers Band’s extended musical family, including Devon Allman, Warren Haynes, Jaimoe, Chuck Leavell, Jack Pearson, Susan Tedeschi, and Derek Trucks.
“The All My Friends tribute show was such a classy event,” recalls Devon Allman. “I remember Dad saying ‘Son, aren’t they supposed to have shows like this after you die?’ I laughed and said ‘Well…maybe so …but you get to jam at this one with your friends!’ He was so deeply touched that night by the outpouring of love and music in his honor. A highlight of his career, for sure.”
Rounder and Blackbird Presents are teaming up with Mandolin to exclusively stream the concert in its entirety on Aug. 18. Fans who pre-order the vinyl box will receive a complimentary viewing code. Tickets for the livestream can be purchased here.
Allman, who died in 2017, would have celebrated his 75th birthday this December. A number of events to commemorate the anniversary of his birth will be announced in the coming months.
