The Allman Brothers Band

This was the first time the Brothers had ever been to South Bend. The Morris Center is an great place to see a show. Very small, friendly people, easy in and out, great accoustics. However, the beer lines were too long and they don’t allow any drinks in the auditorium. So that is the deal with the venue. The show was pretty interesting. The first couple of songs were ordinary. Dont Want You No More, Not My Cross to Bear, and Come and Go Blues are nice but, ultimately forgetable songs. The show really picked up after that. Same Thing was awesome. With Karl Denson sitting in, I don’t know if they have ever done a better job. Who to Believe and Woman Across the River sizzled. Dreams and Liz Reed were nice instrumentals. Even Melissa was welcome. (I have heard this song a little too much over the years.) All in all a good show. I wish they could have played after a Notre Dame football game.
