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.

But not this year.

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.

Comedian Chuck Nice was on the phone for Winner and/or Loser of the Week, but first addressed the George Floyd protests, police brutality, growing up black near Philadelphia, and made an incredible analogy for those still struggling to understand that not all police officers are being targeted. (18:10)

Winner and/or Loser of the Week continued with nominations from Bill in Wallingford, and Eleanor in Monroe who had a Loser of the Week nomination. (27:52)
