Contents

For this concert, Allman was backed by the band Cowboy, who played two of their own songs. Cowboy was a Capricorn Records label-mate and was Duane Allman's favorite band. Several of its members had already backed Gregg Allman on his debut album the previous year.

The Gregg Allman Tour was re-mastered and re-released on CD in 2001 by Polydor.

At the beginning of the album, Gregg Allman is introduced by Martin Mull.
