The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees have performed 16 shows so far in 2011, including their highly acclaimed annual residency at New York City’s Beacon Theatre and headlining their own three-day Wanee Festival in Florida, which included Widespread Panic, the Steve Miller band and Robert Plant, among many others.  They also performed a special one-off show at the Beacon in July to raise awareness for Hepatitis C, as Gregg Allman received a liver transplant late last year.
