  What an intriguing moment in the evolution of The Allman Brothers Band! By the summer of 1993, the band was relatively settled into a dynamic lineup, having released their album "An Evening with the Allman Brothers Band: First Set" the previous year. This album captured the essence of their storied improvisational skills, which is exactly what drew fans to live shows.
