March 30: Concert of 'The Second Coming' and 'The Load' (with Duane but without Gregg) at
the Jacksonville Beach Coliseum in Jacksonville Beach, FL. (NOTE)
Some sources mention that this concert took place at the
Jacksonville Armory in Jacksonville, FL, but that is not
correct.
Other sources mention the Jacksonville Beach Armory in
Jacksonville Beach, FL, but a venue with that name never
existed.
There exists an unofficial recording with
the following tracks:
Don't Want You No More - Rock Me Baby
- Crossroads - Born In Chicago - Willie Jean Jam - Born Under A Bad Sign
- She Has Funny Cars - Hey Joe (Duane Allman on vocals) - New Shoes Blues
- Travellin' Music Jam
These recordings were probably not all made on March 30, 1969,
but it's a compilation of recordings of different concerts and
jams of 'The Second Coming' (Dickey Betts, Dale Betts, John
Meeks, Berry Oakley, Reese Wynans) and 'The Load' (Richard
Price, Larry Reinhardt, Monty Young) with Duane Allman, Jaimoe
and Butch Trucks sitting in as guests. Most of these recordings
were probably made before Gregg Allman was in town.
These recordings were made at the Jacksonville Beach Coliseum
and The Cedar Hills Armory.
