Manley Field House, Syracuse University, April 7, 1972

Manley Field House, Syracuse University, April 7, 1972 is a two-CD live album by the rock group the Allman Brothers Band. As the name suggests, it was recorded at Manley Field House in Syracuse, New York on April 7, 1972. It was released on January 12, 2024.

The Syracuse concert was recorded several months after the death of guitarist Duane Allman. It features the other five original members of the Allman Brothers Band – Gregg Allman on keyboards and vocals, Dickey Betts on guitar, Berry Oakley on bass, and Jai Johanny Johanson and Butch Trucks on drums. Another live album with the same lineup is Macon City Auditorium: 2/11/72.

Critical reception
In Grateful Web, Gabriel David Barkin wrote, "The Allman Brothers have had a plethora of amazing guitar players in their lineup, mostly two at a time (the latter-day version with Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks was notably delicious), but the Betts-only years had their own magic steeped in the blues maestro’s own blend of Southern comfort.... The way the mics captured Oakley may be the best thing about this recording. His Fender Jazz "Tractor" bass is prominent on every cut."

In Under the Radar, Frank Valish said, "What's striking about this concert is first and foremost the absence of Duane. Betts does a fine job of filling Duane’s shoes, but there is a certain guitar energy found in early ABB performances that is still missing here. But the other thing that stands out... is Oakley. His bass, which is high in the mix, becomes just as much of a star as the band's guitar, keyboards, or vocals on this night."

In Glide Magazine, Doug Collette wrote, "The range and power of their imagination render fresh an otherwise familiar array of covers and originals... Manley Field House Syracuse University April 7, 1972 is thus an essential entry in the ABB discography, and at the same time, an indispensable missing link in the history of the increasingly influential blues-rock ensemble."
