NEW YORK, NY, USA - THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND, one of rock's most acclaimed live acts and 1994 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductees, will release a new double live CD March 23rd on Peach/Sanctuary Records.

Entitled "One Way Out," the release documents the band's 'March Madness' run at The Beacon Theatre last year in New York City, and features 'Instrumental Illness,' the 12-minute tour de force for which the band was nominated for a Grammy this year in the "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" category.

"One Way Out" includes songs seen on last year's DVD "Live At The Beacon Theatre" (now nearing platinum status), as well as additional live tracks from the Beacon Theatre performances.

Meanwhile, look for THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND -- GREGG ALLMAN (vocals and keyboards), JAIMOE (drums), BUTCH TRUCKS (drums and tympani) WARREN HAYNES (vocals, lead and slide guitar), OTEIL BURBRIDGE (bass), MARC QUINONES (congas and percussion) and DEREK TRUCKS (slide and lead guitar) -- to perform Tuesday, March 16TH on Late Night With Conan O'Brien in advance of this year's 'March Madness' Beacon Theatre shows beginning March 18th.

The 18-track "One Way Out" mixes THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND's classics (among them 'Dreams,' 'Midnight Rider' and ;Whippin' Post;) with six songs from their critically acclaimed "Hittin' The Note," the band's latest studio album, and their first album of new material in nine years (released last Spring on Peach/Sanctuary).

As Steve Morse noted in his Boston Globe review (3/28/03): "...one listen will convince you that the Allmans are really hitting a new peak," while Jay Lustig raved in the Newark Star Ledger (3/16/03): "It often approaches and sometimes reaches the level of Allman recordings of yore."

Jay Babcock, writing in the LA Weekly (9/05/03) summed it up when he said: "...the general consensus is that the Allmans are stronger now than they've been in years; their stunning new album Hittin' The Note certainly makes that case."

Known as one of rock's best live acts, THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND were one of only two artists whose live albums ranked in the top 50 of Rolling Stone's recently published list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time."

In that prestigious ranking, THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND was honored for their classic 1971 album, "The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East."
