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. https://allmanbrothersband.com/event/abb19690330/ According to Michael Ray Fitzgerald's book 'Jacksonville And The Roots Of Southern Rock' the new group of the Allman's shared the bill with the Second Coming at the Cedar Hills National Guard Armory in Jacksonville, FL.
