Free Music Notes for At Fillmore East
Free Music Review: Should be more than 5 stars- greatest live album of all time
Hit: 5 Stars
First off, I'm not a kid, I just don't want to get an account
And second, this is a great album, one of the greatest live albums of all time.
The album alternates between long jams (Whipping Post, Mountain Jam, You Don't Love Me, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed) and shorter intense songs (Statesboro Blues, Trouble No More, Hot 'lanta, Done Somebody Wrong, One Way Out)
The original Fillmore Album had just seven songs, Statesboro Blues, Done Somebody Wrong, Stormy Monday, Elizabeth Reed, You Don't Love Me, Hot 'lanta, and Whipping Post. All of them showcase the amazing guitar abilities of both Duane Allman and Dickey Betts. On "Whipping Post" each of them take a long solo that slowly builds to a furious crescendo, with Duane especially seeming to pull freakish notes out of nowhere. One of the few songs that he actually plays with straight guitar, rather than his normal slide guitar.
"Statesboro Blues" is one of the best examples why he was a great slide guitarist. It opens this album and the original. Not a studio song on any album, it was nonetheless a concert favorite. Rolling Stone magazine called it Duane's signature song on guitar in their 100 Greatest Guitarists magazine (they ranked him #2) If you're not really sure what the slide guitar should sound like, listen to this beatiful, fiery rendition.
"Stormy Monday" is a slow blues that showcases not only the dual guitarists' superpowers, but Greg Allman's blues sensibilities. He sings this blues classic with conviction, and this song has one of Dickey Betts' best guitar solos.
"Hot 'lanta" is a great instrumental with great instrumental work from everyone in the band, including the two drummers, Jaimoe and Butch Trucks.
"Done Somebody Wrong" is solid as well, a song that really characterizes what the Allman Brothers were all about.
"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is a 13 minute instrumental written by Dickey Betts. The opening lines of the song are especially mesmerizing, with Duane and Dickey each turning in mindblowing guitar solos, with Duane especially ripping off notes like they were the last notes he would ever play.
"You Don't Love Me" is a long 19 minute boogie jam. Out of all the longer jams, this is my least favorite, but it is still quite excellent. I do think however it should have stopped about 7-8 minutes in. But it still very good, just not the best on the album.
The Deluxe edition of Fillmore East tacks on extra tracks from the concerts that originally appeared on Eat a Peach, Dreams, and Anthology. The notable addition is the 33 minute "Mountain Jam." Some people might dismiss it as way too long, and I do admit you really have to be in the mood to listen to this song. But it is still a classic example of how the Allman Brothers could sustain a song for a really long time. This song was so long it took up 2 record sides on "Eat a Peach." It contains a really cool double drum solo, an earthquake like bass solo, and really cool guitar solos. One of Duane's trademarks was making his guitar sound like a crying bird, and he does this quite nicely on this track.
"Trouble No More" and "One Way Out" also came from "Eat a Peach" Like "Done Somebody Wrong" I think "Trouble No More" really epitomizes the Southern rock sound of the Allman Brothers Band. "One Way Out" has a nice funky little riff.
"Midnight Rider" is a solid version of one of Greg Allman's most famous songs. "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'" is rockin, and one of the encores, "Drunken Hearted Boy," is haunting, eerie, and awesome.
All in all, get the Deluxe Edition of the Allman Brothers At Fillmore East. YOu won't be sorry. Duane Allman was truly one of the greatest, underrated guitarists of all time. All 6 of them were great. Berry Oakley-Bass guitar, Jaimoe and Butch Trucks- Drums and Percussion, Duane Allman- Lead and Slide Guitars, Dickey Betts-Lead Guitar, Greg Allman- Vocals and Keyboards
