Jimmy Carter 1976 election night, and Dickey Betts in 1975.

Carter returned later and said he’d spoken to their manager about the possibility of the band performing for his campaign — for president. “The Allman Brothers helped put me in the White House by raising money when I didn’t have any,” Carter said in the film. The Allman Brothers Band formed in 1969 in Jacksonville, Fla., and eventually based themselves in Macon, Ga., a small city that has produced some of the most iconic R&B and rock legends.
The group’s first two albums, The Allman Brothers Band and Idlewild South under Capricorn Records, didn’t hit on a national scale, but their 1971 live release “At Fillmore East” was a breakthrough.
