...Allman Brothers. Sources say they were stunning at the Glen. It's for sure that they're as good as they were with Duane; the addition of Chuck Leavell on keyboards is genius.

The pair hit it off, and after Koplik graduated they teamed up to promote concerts in Hartford and New Haven, Conn. Watkins Glen was their first big venture...
Finkel and Koplik are hoping to stage another big outdoor concert next summer. With Watkins Glen probably ruled out, they need a new site, but they may not have to look very hard. Already they are considering offers from Canada, California and Virginia...
