A second set pairing of Derek and Dominos’ “Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?” and the Grateful Dead’s “Franklin’s Tower” (with bassist Oteil Burbridge on vocals) surprises, but it’s the half-hour exploration of “Black Hearted Woman” and the following ethereal “Dreams,” with guest and former ABB guitarist Jack Pearson that tag this first show as particularly special. “Trouble No More” follows, with Allman in exceptional voice the growl of the world-weary bluesman, never finer. Night one starts with a stampeding “Mountain Jam,” as guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks charge out of the gate, ready and hot. This is a celebration, and a fittingly fantastic one, with a comprehensive 55 songs played over three nights, only one repeated (“Dreams”), and several special guests on-hand to toast the Brothers. But, this isn’t a collection meant for the melancholic. The subtle, tasteful tribute to the drummer, and reminder of his tragic death, plus the recent news of Gregg Allman, on doctor’s orders, resting at his Georgia home make that 35th Anniversary weekend at the Fox, suddenly and sadly, feel longer than 13 years ago. Printed in white ink on the back of the box are the words, “Dedicated to our Brother- Butch Trucks.” It’s now remastered and reissued, with one notable, sobering amendment. Although the group was arranged to work with producer Tom Dowd (whose credits included Cream and John Coltrane), he was unavailable, and they instead recorded with house engineer Adrian Barber.Yes, this is an eight-CD set of music that first appeared in 2004, shortly after The Allman Brothers Band completed its three-night, late-September run at Atlanta’s fabulous Fox Theatre. It includes re-workings of "Trouble No More" and "Don't Want You No More, " as well as notable originals such as "Dreams", which highlighted the band's jazz influence, and "Whipping Post", which soon became a crowd favorite. Much of the material presented was premiered live over the preceding months and combines blues, jazz, and country music to varying degrees. The album was recorded and mixed in two weeks at Atlantic Studios in New York City. It was released in the United States by Atco Records and Capricorn Records on Novemand produced by Adrian Barber. The Allman Brothers Band is the debut studio album by the Allman Brothers Band. The original artwork has been faithfully reproduced. Audio remastered from original analog tapes by Keven Reeves to 192kHz 24-bit audio and then cut on copper plates using Abbey Road Mastering's Direct Metal Mastering (DMM) lathe.
