Free Music Notes for The Allman Brothers at Fillmore East
Free Music Review: Always a Winner, However You Choose to Own It
Hit: 5 Stars
With several expanded versions of the Allman Brothers' famed 1971 Fillmore East shows available, the original album might not top everyone's wish list anymore; but since EAT A PEACH (which contains most of the remaining Fillmore performances) is still an essential purchase for its studio tracks, non-completists would do well to grab this version, which neatly fits both LPs onto a single disc and sounds, to my ears, at least as good as the latterday double-disc editions. With the original edits and all audience shouts intact, AT FILLMORE EAST proper will likewise appeal to purists - and everyone else - as it has for nearly thirty-five years. An absolutely top-tier recording, in any case; if you don't have it yet, get it any way you can.Free Music Review: One of the BEST of the times

I was fortunate enough to be a young teen when "rock and roll" really exploded - everything was new - wow did we have a variety to choose from!!! This album is no doubt among the VERY finest mix of "Southern Rock" and blues. It's well mixed, well written, and well arranged. I can't find any reason to say anything bad about it at all. If you are looking to collect gems from the 70's, this has got to be among them!!Free Music Review: Greatest live album ever and nothing comes close
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one legendary CD. Just 7 songs on the original double album and the length of the songs alone was revolutionary. What they did with the extended time to play was remarkable. This is the original lineup in absolute top form. Gregg's singing and organ playing, Berry's bass, the 2 drummers interplay and Dickey's guitar work all shine but the real star of this is Duane. You'll never hear better guitar playing from anyone. Dunae has solos all over the album and what he does with them can not be duplicated 35 years later. A collection of rock music, great guitar work, or live in concert performances would be never be complete without this one.Free Music Review: WHERE THE TERM "SOUTHERN ROCK" COMES FROM

The Allman Brothers band. Woooo Weeeee. This is some amazing jamming and good god damned rock! Southern Rock to be exact. Allman Brothers came around just about a year earlier, and had released two studio albums previous to this one. It was a period of time, I understand, when new ideas were very much accepted in the world. Especially when it came to rock and roll, however, since so many people were trying "new" stuff, it was easy for many bands to get overlooked. Even though, Duane Allman was a respected session player both in the US and the UK, when he got his brother and a few of his hometown friends out to tour, they weren't hardly recognized. That was until they TORE THE ROOF OFF at the FILLMORE EAST. The album recorded here put The ALLMAN BROTHERS into the spotlight where they belonged. They added a southern country, and much more blues oriented sound to the JAM scene that had all of those Grateful Dead hippies going nuts at the time. This stuff, was no psychedelic business at all though. This stuff was strait up ROCKIN! The first song STATESBORO BLUES will get you groovin' good... if you ain't gonna, then I know your SISTER will! The last song borders on Metal, with that heavy bass drive and killer guitar solos. ELIZABETH REED is an incredible instrumental jam, probably the one that opened my ears to extended style jams in the first place.. it starts off slow and jazzy but it WICKED ROCKS by the end. Allman Brothers were showing up the good stuff, and what was about to start coming from the south... NOT COUNTRY.... SOUTHERN ROCK! Drink some Jack or So-Co, get down with this absolute live class act. Get into something truly AMAZING! You won't regret it.Free Music Review: Soulful, bluesy, with lead guitar virtuosity.

If you had to rank live rock albums, this would easily be the best. But what you really need to know about this album is that it captures the Allman Brothers at their peak with their complete lineup (Duane Allman and Berry Oakley present). The guitar interplay between Duane Allman and Dicky Betts is brilliant, but it doesn't stop there because this was a band, a great band, with a complex rhythm section (two drummers), a soulful bluesy singer/organist, and everyone contributed with musicianship at the highest level, more comparable to a classic jazz band than anything else in rock n' roll. This is really more than rock n' roll, it's blues-jazz-rock fusion, it's dazzling. Once you hear it you'll never forget it.
