The Number Line: Allman Brothers Band March Madness @ the Beacon 2011

For this edition of our stat-heavy Number Line column, we’ve enlisted the help of Billy “Sweet River” Hollems for an in-depth look at the Allman Brothers Band’s March Madness run “on paper.” Each year, Hollems puts together a comprehensive list detailing all the sit-ins, songs played and setlists for the AllmanBrothersBand.com forums and this time around he’s kindly sharing the stats with our readers.
