Allman Brothers June 26th 1971 Fillmore East Ticket Stub and Program
Ticket stub for the Allman Brothers' historic June 26th sunrise concert at the Fillmore East
When asked what was the most memorable Allman Brothers Band concert, Bill Graham, along
with many other Allman Brothers aficionados, including the band themselves, unhesitatingly
say: the late show on June 26th, the night before the closing of the Fillmore East. It was a
Saturday night and the late show audiences were always the ‘in’ music crowd and the shows
with no time constraints usually went longer than the early shows. On this particular night
the Allman Brothers took the stage at about 1:30 a.m. and ended at about 5:00 a.m. and, by
all accounts, they were spectacular.
The audience, realizing they played for 3 1/2 hours with two encores, didn't demand any more,
but it was Duane who decided they were not yet finished and cued the band to return to the
stage for a third encore, announcing to the crowd: ‘Well, we played all our material...so we're
just gonna jam!" And jam they did, performing an improvisational jam for just over two hours
to a stunned and exhausted audience. When they finished they walked off the stage at 7:05
a.m. The audience applauded knowing that they had witnessed something very special, and
when the exit doors finally opened, rays of sunlight beamed into the theatre. Drummer Butch
Trucks recalled Duane dragging his guitar, shaking his head saying: ‘Goddam, it's like leaving
church.’
The ticket stub from this June 26th 1971 late show measures 2" x 1 1/2" and it has normal
wear (see scan).
Comes with the gold foil program that was specially made for the Fillmore East's closing weekend of concerts.
It
has only
minimal wear
to it and is in
excellent
condition and quite collectible in itself.
Feel free to email me with any questions that you may have.
I have been collecting music memorabilia for over forty years now. So bid with confidence.
When you have the chance to, take a look at the other items I have listed for sale, you might find something that

autographs that I just haven’t had the time to list and that I usually wind up selling elsewhere.

PS I spent many memorable nights at the Fillmore East. It was a very special theatre,
where I was fortunate
enough to witness some of the most
incredible concerts that I
have ever seen in my life. To those that went
there….You know what I am talking about :)
I will never forget that magical
time, a time that we will never see
the likes of again.
