The Gregg Allman Tour
The Gregg Allman Tour is the first live album by Gregg Allman, released in 1974. It was recorded at Carnegie Hall on April 10 and 11, and Capitol Theatre on April 14, 1974. It peaked at number 50 on the Billboard Pop Albums charts in 1974. It was originally released as a double LP.
For this concert, Allman was backed by the band Cowboy, who played two of their own songs. Cowboy was a Capricorn Records label-mate and was Duane Allman's favorite band. Several of its members had already backed Gregg Allman on his debut album the previous year.
The Gregg Allman Tour was re-mastered and re-released on CD in 2001 by Polydor.
At the beginning of the album, Gregg Allman is introduced by Martin Mull.
