===Subsequent activities=== In January 2017, founding member Butch Trucks died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. That May, founding member Gregg Allman died from complications arising from liver cancer at the age of 69, putting an end to any possibilities of a reunion. In January 2020, the five surviving members of the final Allman Brothers lineup, calling themselves the Brothers, announced their intentions to hold a show to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the band on March 10 at Madison Square Garden.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jambase.com/article/the-brothers-allman-brothers-madison-square-garden|title=Allman Brothers Alums & More Announce The Brothers Concert At Madison Square Garden|date=January 3, 2020|website=JamBase}}</ref><ref name = rsb50 >{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/allman-brothers-band-reunion-933228/|title=The Allman Brothers Band to Celebrate 50th Anniversary With Tribute Show|first1=David|last1=Browne|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |date=January 3, 2020}}</ref> The concert lasted over four hours, with [[Duane Trucks]] taking the place of his uncle on drums, proto-Allmans member [[Reese Wynans]] taking the place of Gregg Allman on organ, and Warren Haynes taking on Gregg Allman's vocal parts.

(Dickey Betts was invited to participate but his health precluded him from traveling although he wished the event be successful.)<ref name = rsb50b /> Like the final Beacon show, the Brothers 50 concert was dominated by material from the group's first five albums. The show was one of the last large concerts to take place before the [[2020 coronavirus pandemic in North America]] forced the shutdown of such events; some people accordingly did not go to it, and indeed especially due to the older demographic of the group's fan base, Derek Trucks would subsequently wonder whether it had been wise to move forward with it.<ref name = rsb50b >{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/derek-trucks-allman-brothers-tribute-new-york-coronavirus-969359/|title=Derek Trucks on Playing Live Before and After the Coronavirus Shutdown|first1=David|last1=Browne|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |date=March 19, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-live-reviews/allman-brothers-tribute-madison-square-garden-965567/|title=Allman Brothers Survivors Honor the Band's Legacy at Fiery Tribute Show|first=David|last=Browne|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=March 11, 2020|access-date=April 18, 2024}}</ref> [[Image:The Brothers performing Done Somebody Wrong at MSG in 2025.jpg|thumb|right|The Brothers performing "[[Done Somebody Wrong]]" at Madison Square Garden in 2025, with Warren Haynes taking on Gregg Allman's original lead vocal]] Following the death of Dickey Betts on April 18, 2024, drummer Jaimoe became the last surviving original member of the Allman Brothers Band.<ref>{{cite web |first=Chris |last=Morris |date=April 18, 2024 |url=https://variety.com/2024/music/news/dickey-betts-dead-allman-brothers-guitarist-1235975041/ |title=Dickey Betts, Allman Brothers Guitarist, Dies at 80 |work=Variety |access-date=April 18, 2024}}</ref> The Brothers formed again in April 2025, five years after the original show, for two appearances at Madison Square Garden.<ref name="goldmine-2025"/> The lineup was the same as before, except that veteran musical collaborator [[Joe Russo (musician)|Joe Russo]] filled the Butch Trucks drumming slot;<ref>{{cite news | url=https://artsfuse.org/309176/concert-review-the-brothers-celebrating-the-style-and-songbook-of-the-legendary-the-allman-brothers-band/ | title=Concert Review: The Brothers β Celebrating the Style and Songbook of the Legendary Allman Brothers Band | first=Scott | last=McLennan | magazine=The Arts Fuse | date=April 19, 2025 | access-date=April 26, 2025}}</ref> in addition, Isaac Eady of the Tedeschi Trucks Band relieved Jaimoe at times.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.jambase.com/article/the-brothers-allman-brothers-band-setlist-videos-2025-night-1 | title=The Brothers Reignite Allman Brothers Spirit At Madison Square Garden | first=Scott | last=Bernstein | publisher=JamBase | date=April 16, 2025 | access-date=April 26, 2025}}</ref> A review in ''[[Goldmine (magazine)|Goldmine]]'' magazine agreed with the observation that, "Time passes, but these shows proved that the music of the Allman Brothers is timeless."<ref name="goldmine-2025">{{cite news | url=https://www.goldminemag.com/columns/the-brothers-brilliantly-perform-timeless-tunes-at-madison-square-garden | title=The Brothers brilliantly perform timeless tunes at Madison Square Garden | first=Ray | last=Chelstowski | magazine=Goldmine | date=April 17, 2025 | access-date=April 26, 2025}}</ref>
