The Beacon Theatre on Broadway and 74th is a 2,894-seat 1929 movie palace turned concert room that hosts the Allman Brothers tradition and an annual Steely.

Tip: Best sound is the orchestra rows behind the mixing desk. Doors typically 19:00 and the show starts on time, not on the rock-time grace period.
