A new DVD/double-CD set documenting a Gregg Allman solo concert that took place in January of last year in Macon, Georgia, will be released on August 7.

Gregg Allman Live: Back to Macon, GA features the foundingAllman Brothers Band singer and his eight-piece backing group playing a 16-song set at historic Grand Opera House in Macon, the Allmans’ adopted hometown.

Among the tunes Gregg performed at the show were Allman Brothers classics like “Statesboro Blues,” “Melissa,” “Midnight Rider,” “Whipping Post” and “One Way Out,” as well as his hit “I’m No Angel” and other selections from his solo catalog.

Allman’s son Devon makes a guest appearance at the concert.

The video portion of the release, which will be Allman’s first solo DVD, includes interview segments interspersed with the performances, as well as two bonus songs — “Stormy Monday” and “Floating Bridge.”  The set also contains a feature titled The Gregg Allman Band at the H&H.

The Gregg Allman Live package features liner notes penned by Allman Brothers historian John Lynskey.

The liner notes quote Gregg as saying about the show, “Macon is a wonderful town with wonderful people, and I still have some dear, dear friends there.

Macon holds a special place in my heart; it comes with a lot of different memories, but the good ones are all that matter to me now.  I’m so proud of this album; boy, we were smokin’ that night.”

RollingStone.com has premiered a clip from the DVD of Gregg and his band, along with Devon Allman, performing an epic 11-minute version of “One Way Out.”

Meanwhile, Gregg has lined up a variety of solo shows this year, including a late-summer run of joint concerts with The Doobie Brothers.  Check out his full itinerary at GreggAllman.com.
