Daniels himself introduced the band, before Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Butch Trucks, and Jaimoe took the stage, flanked by Dan Toler and Chuck Leavell, as well as Bruce Waibel and Jerry McCoy. Their first reunion took place on July 12, 1986, when they were invited by the Charlie Daniels Band to play at their annual Volunteer Jam, which took place that year at Starwood Amphitheater in Nashville, TN. ĭuring their 1982-1989 hiatus the band reunited twice. Betts and Allman later toured together with their respective solo bands during 1986. The pair performed on 1981's Brothers of the Road, before the group broke up again in January 1982.

After the release of Enlightened Rogues and Reach for the Sky, Mike Lawler was added on keyboards and Johanson was replaced by Toler's brother David. By the end of the year the band had returned, with Allman, Betts, Trucks and Johanson joined by new guitarist 'Dangerous' Dan Toler and bassist David 'Rook' Goldflies. Two years later, in August 1978, the solo bands of Betts and Allman combined for a performance in New York City, sparking rumors of an Allman Brothers Band reformation. In May 1976, the group disbanded after Allman testified in the trial of road manager John 'Scooter' Herring, who was accused of drug dealing, with the rest of the band publicly condemning his decision to do so. He was replaced by Lamar Williams, a childhood friend of Johanson's. On November 11, 1972, the group lost a second member when Oakley died in a motorcycle accident similar to Allman's. The guitarist was not replaced, although Chuck Leavell was added as a second keyboardist in 1972 after the band performed as a five-piece.

Just two years after forming, however, Duane Allman died in a motorcycle crash in Macon on October 29, 1971.
