Ultimate ABB Concert Performances

It's only been a year and I miss seeing the greatest band on the planet perform. Long-time viewer of this forum/first time poster!
I'm a huge Allman Brothers Fan. Seen them 22 times live and I've collected over 200 ABB shows. This is the best of the shows (Derek/Warren era) I have listened to. I Know I'm excluding some of the classic concert tunes (IMOER, Statesboro, Trouble No More, Midnight Rider, etc..) but the songs I complied here are for MY ultimate concert album. Top solos from Trucks/Haynes, solid Oteil bass lines, Gregg signing his heart out and a percussion unit that can't be beat. So I hope you kickback and enjoy. Any ABB fans feedback on this would be great or songs from shows you would like me to upload. Thanks for listening!

Beginning with Chuck's piano and through Gregg's solo, just awesome. Just the keyboards man, give it a spin

Big V - the above is the show featured on the Brothers & Sisters box set isn't it? The Box set show sure is a treat to hear.
Rather than list a bunch now, two performances I think need to be remastered and put on an official release are:
1) High Falls 3/22/1997 Beacon Theatre. Dickey and Warren only played this together on this run. You could pick another version from this run too as they are all good. I think it is some of their very best work together and despite the fact that soundboards are available, I'd love to see this get the deluxe box set treatment. Holy crap it's good. Warren in particular does a great job and you even get a nice electric piano solo from Gregg. Dickey leads the band through a saturated bombing mission at the end. The whole band gells. Great performance.
2) Kind Of Bird 12/29/1991 Macon, GA 0 They HAVE a TOM DOWD PROFESSIONAL RECORDING of this! There is a nice audience circulating of this Kind Of Bird but to hear an Evening With level recording would be heaven. This is a definitive performance of this song. And they have a pro multitrack recording of it! PLEASE RELEASE THIS! Anyway, audience recording is circulating. Definitive-level performance.

Sure is on both accounts. Special for me because this was a tough ticket to come by and ended up listening to the Live FM broadcast with friends over what was then "State of the art" home stereo stuff....turned up to 11

Thanks for this thread. I've got some blanks in my collection. I still have boxes of CDs that have been packed up for 4 years. It takes a lot of time to burn them to my hard drives. These suggestions will either get me to unpack another couple of boxes or just find some more shows.

Jealous. Sometimes I actually prefer listening to the live broadcast with friends rather than going to the venue. This would have been a great one in that setting.

Winterland is surely is a classic show.
The youtube you posted has always been one of my favorite versions of IMOER. This was an 11 on scale of 10. The piano solo by Chuck followed by Gregg's B3 solo is special. Love the tone in Dickey's lead - real pure sound.
The dynamic that Chuck brought to the Bros. is almost beyond words; a whole 'nother added dimension. He's just that good!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is probably the audience recording that's out there. It's great but let's hear the Tom Dowd multitracks.

completely agree BIGV. This is version is so good - rivals any performance the brothers have done. and Dickey's closing licks are something that boggle my mind.
