“The Allman Brothers Band: February 1971. This show was by the original sextet, a month before they recorded the immortal Live at the Fillmore East album. The Troy concert had the same song selections, for the most part. Guitarist Duane Allman would die from injuries sustained in a motorcycle wreck on October 29 of the same annum, just before the Fillmore East album was released.
(TANGENT: When the Allmans took a break at the TSU concert, a student named Barry Diamond did a stand-up comedy routine. In later years he appeared in movies such as Bachelor Party and National Lampoon’s Class Reunion.)”
