Free Music Review: A classic live event in quad multi-channel
Hit: 4 Stars
The Allmans' LIVE AT FILLMORE EAST was two thirds of a great set of live performances(the rest found on EAT A PEACH)and a wonder of(seeming)improvisation and perfect/imperfect musical telepathy. What was amazing about LIVE is how long tracks could sound so short--the band moved instruments and cadences, rhythms and little licks, played between and beyond themselves, diddled and juiced around--and still maintained continuity, never left a listener adrift. Even on the lengthiest track, you always feel you're moving on a brief journey--like a car ride from your house to the supermarket(except that supermarket is forty miles away)--with very colorful landmarks along the way.According to legend, the four-channel quad master of LIVE AT FILLMORE EAST was taken from a different night than that taped for the stereo Lp (which is more familiar). Maybe so, but the feel is no different: this was one very tight band, even when the rhythm section threatened to forget they had two Allmans to keep track of(and support).
While this album wasn't a sonic wonder, it sure is better than the original quad vinyl(inherently noisy and compressed).
This does seem to be from that mid-70s four-channel master, as there is little in the way of a center channel. No matter; DTS has put out more than a few of these, and despite the '5.1' designation, most multi-channel systems will give you enough center to keep you happy. Most of all, this a pretty clean sound, surprisingly so; if there's a problem it's in the remote recording situation and the mixing limitations. For these reasons the listener should take the overall sonics with a grain of salt, but it's not bitter. Like most vintage DTS audio discs, there is no comparison to the clarity and variety DVD-Audio(or recent DTS audio)provides, but this was 1971, after all. For me, to have 1971 multi-channel without a lot of tape hiss or noise or compression is a gift. All we need now: DTS for EAT A PEACH.
