The Allman Brothers Band recently announced their annual residency in NYC this March. This time they will be calling the United Palace Theater home. Due to a scheduling conflict, the band will not be able to hunker down at the Beacon Theatre,which has usually hosted the band during the residency. The band has eight shows confirmed (March 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20). Last year the band celebrated their 40th anniversary in style. Guests included Eric Clapton, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Buddy Guy, Levon Helm and many more. Check out the video below showcasing the United Palace Theater.
