The Allman Brothers Band played what was likely their last-ever show Tuesday night at the fabled Beacon Theatre in New York.
Fans who couldn’t make it to the end-of-a-45-year-era-concert – or who did and want to relive the experience – can tune in to SiriusXM’s Classic Vinyl channel (26) at noon today to hear the rebroadcast. The concert will also be replayed at 6 p.m. Oct. 29; midnight Oct. 30; 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Oct. 31; 4 a.m. and 1 p.m. Nov. 1 and 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Nov. 2.
The storied Southern rock band’s 45-year-career ended early Wednesday morning – Oct. 29, the date of Duane Allman’s death in 1971 in Macon – after an epic three-set performance.
Songs included “Midnight Rider,” “Hot ‘Lanta,” “Blue Sky,” “You Don’t Love Me,” Statesboro Blues,” “Melissa," “Southbound" and "Whipping Post."
At their penultimate concert on Monday, the band paid tribute to Duane Allman as guitarist Derek Trucks and Warren Hayes played three of his guitars during the course of the show.

In January, Haynes and Trucks announced that 2014 would be their final year with the band.
A few days later, at his tribute concert at the Fox Theatre, Gregg Allman commented that he might have "instigated" the end of ABB.
While fans have been hopeful that another studio album might be a possibility, Haynes recently told ABC News Radio, “It’s been not so easy getting everybody on the same page for that, and to agree that making a record is the right thing to do, especially under the present circumstances. But I would obviously enjoy making another record if we made the decision to do that. At this point, I don’t really see it happening, but I’m not standing in the way of it.”
