Live At The Cow Palace, New Years Eve 1973 (2015)

This superb 3CD set, with a 4 hours run time, captures the entire live New Years Eve show FM broadcast. Capturing the group almost fully recovered from the deaths of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley, and with a little help from friends, they deliver one of their most outstanding performances ever. By the end of 1973, the Allman Brothers Band were the most popular touring band in the US. Thus, given their status at the time, when the Allman Brothers chose to play New Year's Eve in the Bay Area at Bill Grahams Cow Palace, it was a benediction indeed they quite simply could have played anywhere they damn wanted. And there was a paradox - wasn't San Francisco's New Year's Eve slot by now the exclusive property of the Grateful Dead? This dilemma however was somewhat addressed, sometime after midnight, when Jerry Garcia and Bill Kreutzmann joined the band onstage. At the time, Garcia's appearance seemed to cement a synergistic relationship between the two bands that became enshrined in rock history. (Left Field Media)
