Throwback Concert: The Allman Brothers Band at XFINITY Theatre 2002

Usually around this time we’re gearing up for outdoor summer shows at The XFINITY Theatre in Hartford.

It’s a sad reality, but one thing we can count on is we can always reflect on those warm summer nights watching our favorite bands perform on the XFINITY stage and hope those good times return next year. One band that used to make regular summertime visits to The XFINITY Theatre in the late 90s and early 2000s was The Allman Brothers Band. Today we look back at their show in Hartford in 2002 and some live videos from past performances.
