My coverage of the final Allman Brothers shows

Wow.

So it’s been almost two weeks now and I can finally communicate with you all about a very intense 10-day whirlwind of emotions, conversations, interviews, rehearsals and, of course, shows.

A little update on my reporting on these final Allman Brothers performances – and yes it still feels strange to write that.

I woke up early the next morning and wrote up this report for Billboard. The print copy included a lot more photos by Derek McCabe and Danny Clinch.

A more extensive report will be in the January Guitar World, out end of November. That one will include photos by Kirk West.

But the real piece of writing about not just the final shows, but the whole confusing, tumultuous, ultimately glorious final year for the band will be a new final chapter in the paperback edition of One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band. That will be out February 25 and will also include about 20 new Kirk West photos.

I’ve done extensive interviews with most of the band and there are some surprises in there. Much more to come after the first of the year.
