Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0731453126022 Format: Live, Original recording remastered Label: Island / Mercury Manufacturer: Island / Mercury MPN: 531260 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Island / Mercury Release Date: October 14, 1997 Studio: Island / Mercury Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: There has never been a better showcase for improvisational rock than this 1971 concert recording, and few (if any) live rock albums are in its rank. With only two studio albums (and plenty of touring) under their belt, the Georgia sextet tore into the Fillmore East with road-tested buoyancy. Titanic guitarist Duane Allman was at the peak of his powers, pushing his foil, Dickey Betts, to unsurpassed peaks. Vocalist-keyboardist Gregg Allman would have been a star in any other setting; here he's merely one more component in a brilliant ensemble. Duane Allman died shortly after At Fillmore East shipped, and the Brothers haven't scaled such heights since. But, then, neither has anyone else. --Steven Stolder Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not the complete albumThe first time I heard this record back in 1971 when it was first released my ears were opened. I was into the blues and was blown away with the duel lead guitars that Dickie Betts and Duane Allman played so well. When I look back and evaluate who the great guitar players in Rock history are I have to include Duanne Allman among the very best. It is as Eric Clapton once said "We were coming at the same thing from a different direction, I was bending strings and Duanne was playing ... Read More Rating: - A Thrilling Snapshot of a Supremely Talented BandWow, I have the task to try to convince you of the greatness of The Allman Brothers at Fillmore East. Many folks have already given great reviews of this album, so I'll try to give my take on this one. First, some background. This album includes selections from two nights worth of performances at the "Fillmore East" music club in 1971 with the band's original lineup, including the incomparable Duane Allman on lead/slide guitar (he would die in a motorcycle accident later in the year). ...

Some of the material has been left off to allow the double album set to fit onto one CD. Too bad. Rating: - Oh Lord it feels like I'm dyingAllman Brothers at their peak, and by Allman Brothers I mean the original six cats that brought us this great music..Duane Allman was finger tapping while van halen was in diapers.. This whole cd is amazing from beginning to end..Duane pushing the whole band, them pushing back..showing their greatness track after track..Oh my I can't stress how important this is to have in your collection, not just for ABB fans but for anyone who is a fan of guitar, jazz, blues, rock, fusion and all inbetween. I will keep ... Read More Rating: - One of the Best Concerts Ever Recorded - That's All!The Allman Brothers were Duane Allman (slide guitar and lead guitar), Gregg Allman (vocals, organ), Dickey Betts (lead guitar, rhythm guitar, vocals), Berry Oakley (bass), Butch Trucks (drums) and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (drums). The band was labeled as "Southern Rock" , but being from Kentucky, it just sounded like good rock to me. This particular live recording from those southern gentlemen has to be one of the greatest concert albums of all time! The purity of guitars, the bluesy keyboards and the ... Read More |
