Free Music Notes for The Allman Brothers at Fillmore EastFree Music Review: Soulful, bluesy, with lead guitar virtuosity. Hit: 5 StarsIf 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.
Free Music Review: Quite possibly, the only "perfect" live album ever recorded Hit: 5 StarsI've listened to this album for many years (first started with an actual vinyl recording), and it never grows stale.
The Allmans are the ultimate "live JAM band", and this is their ultimate album, PERIOD.
I'm a "Deadhead", I love old Springsteen, I like "Phish", but nobody does it like these skinny white southern hippies who somehow learned to play the blues.
I've read a review that called the fadeout at the end of "Whipping Post" something like "Sheer musical orgasmic bliss", but that is incorrect... every song on this album fits that description, it's unfair to allocate it to only one tune.
The perfect live recording, jaw-dropping musicianship, yada, yada, yada... THIS IS THE ONE for live tunes. A legendary album by a legendary band. It gets no better than this.
Free Music Review: how could i possibly try to rate this one ? Hit: 5 StarsRate is a wrong word when it comes to the best live rock album ever
Free Music Review: This one earned the number one spot! Hit: 5 StarsWhen CDs were new, there was no doubt my music collection was going to take a turn for the better. LPs? Got 'em by the ton.
And, years ago, in a music store that no longer even exists, I spent an hour reading titles of these brand new things in the smaller boxes, and knew I would take something home. I didn't even own a CD player yet, but this was the first release that I purchased on compact disc.
You cannot go wrong buying this premier collection of music. Period. I didn't, and neither will you.
I am proud to say that I saw these guys live, in their prime, and will always put this one on the stereo, anytime, any day. Enjoy it!
