The Big House, the Hall of Fame and the Beacon

· Our Story

Some places and dates run through everything we did. Here are the ones that matter most to our story.

What is the Big House?

2321 Vineville Avenue, Macon. From 1970 we lived in a Tudor Revival house on Vineville Avenue in Macon, Georgia. We called it the Big House.

Now a museum: today it is The Allman Brothers Band Museum, so the house where we lived is open to visit.

On the merch: the Museum design puts "The Allman Brothers Band Museum" over a peach with gold wings.

Who did we lose?

Duane Allman. Duane died after a motorcycle crash in Macon on October 29, 1971. He was 24.

Berry Oakley. Berry died after a motorcycle crash in Macon on November 11, 1972, about a year later.

Gregg Allman. Gregg died on May 27, 2017.

When did we join the Hall of Fame?

1995. We were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, during our third run as a band.

How did it end?

Three runs: we played from 1969 to 1976, from 1978 to 1982 and from 1989 to 2014.

The Beacon Theatre: our final show was on October 28, 2014, at the Beacon Theatre in New York. The last song that night was "Trouble No More".

On the merch: one poster design sets a giant peach in front of the city skyline, with "Beacon Theatre, NY" and "1969-2014" under it.

Which designs carry these years?

The script logo: our name in the swirling letters, in black, white or pink.

The mushroom and lightning: with "Since 1969" across it.

The heart: our name lettered into a maroon, grey and blue heart.

Sizing: every product page has its own size chart, for adult, kids' and youth sizes.
