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

Customer Reviews

Not the Complete Album
I was very disappointed with this CD. It is not the album I remember. Some of the material has been left off to allow the double album set to fit onto one CD. Too bad.

Oh Lord it feels like I'm dying
Allman 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 this short as others have already pretty much explained it, but to all.. REMEMBER DUANE ALLMAN

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 souful grit of Greg Allman's vocals are guaranteed to move anyone. I will always chersih an outdoor concert I attended once in Indiana where this excellent group headlined. They put on one hell of a show and played for what seemed forever. After the concert, we discovered all of the cars had been towed away by the landowner where everyone had parked. Hours and many miles later we were able to buy our car back from the local sheriff. It was morning by the time my friends and I got home but we really didn't mind the hassle because we felt we had witnessed history and were part of something that night jamming with the "Allman Brothers", one the best rock and roll bands the world has ever known! This album captures their live musical magic and should be on everyone's "desert island" list of must have CDs. - Ciao
