Event Name: The Allman Brothers
Venue: The United Palace Theater
City: New York
State: NY
Date: 3/20/10
Since 1989 The Allman Brothers have graced the Beacon Theatre stage for a string of shows every March. That changed this year when they had to relocate up town to The United Palace Theater. The United Palace Theater began as a movie house and is now a church by day and music venue by night. An interesting combination but it makes for a good show. The sound quality is pretty darn good.
Being the last night of the March run everyone was pretty pumped.
When getting into the lobby:
Concert Goer: “Allman Brothers!”
Concert Goer Friend: “I thought I was here to see Miley Cyrus.”
I was sitting in the balcony and had a perfect view of the stage until the guy sitting next to me said:
Concert Goer: “One asshole always stands up.”
When exiting I had a brief conversation that went something like this:
Tourist Concert Goer: “I’m in New York. That’s all I know.”
Locale Concert Goer: “This is The Heights.”
Me: “I came from Brooklyn. It took me forever to get here.”
Locale Concert Goer: “This isn’t Brooklyn. This isn’t New York. It’s The Heights!”
