At Fillmore East

Happy memories. Bro John had this and maybe Kerry

This album was recorded live, has some classy blues riffs in many tracks that you won't get in a polished produced album. Good chill out blues.

Pretty good live album, but nothing too crazy. The ending song was incredible and the opening song really hooked me, but the middle was just alright. Not bad by any regards.

Great sunny day driving record! Young Duane rips!!

Jam Session aus Western, Rock und Jazz Elementen. Man spürt die Power in den. Songs und die Wirkung auf das Publikum der Live-Abende. Insgesamt fesselt das Album zu wenig und hat keinen prägenden Highlight Song.

Great live southern rock

Allman Brothers are one of those bands where I only like the album tracks; and only some of them at that. I feel the same way about Grateful Dead. I don't need long, drawn out wank from either.

Quite chill, we liked it. Would listen again.

It’s long, it’s jammy, it’s blues. Can’t ask for too much more than that. Some great playing and a good recording. Problem with live albums is they just make me wish I was there.

Jams, jams, jams. This all sounds the same. I can imagine being pretty drunk at this show and having a more interesting conversation at the bar.

Another band I understand is good but doesn’t do anything for me.

Cool vom 1. Stück an. Sehr bluesig

The guitar that keeps on going

Homer Dough. The chief of the tribe and a known warrior. Slide that neck o’ Dwaynie Boy

Long winded

Blues ist nicht mein Genre aber ich habe den Sound sehr genossen. Meine Frau war der Meinung, dass die Gitarre sehr gequält wurde.

Somehow remarkably forgettable

Statesboro Blues - 5 Done Somebody Wrong - 4 Stormy Monday - 3.5 good, but slow You Don't Love Me - 4 not sure why this is one song, but okay. Hot 'Lanta - 3 In Memory of - 3.5 Whipping Post - 3.5 Overall, good music but way too drawn out.

Enjoyable, if not very original. But I do like this sound. Reminds me of a lovely pub I used to live near that played bluesy rock music and had a big fire and nice beers. Obviously ridiculously talented and very tight. However I can only imagine myself listening to this when I want some background music. 3.5

Some of this was absolutely class, there was a couple of times it was 5 worthy. Most of the tracks were just too long though and I think the live recording detracted from the tunes. Would like to listen to more allman brothers, if there is an album that is a bit tighter and a proper recording I think id be a fan.

Far, far too indulgent. Some of this is alright, would have given it a 2, but come on guys, stop jamming and produce something succinct and meaningful. Harsh, but think of this as a lesson.

There's some good musical talent here but it's far too long and self indulgent. You can't be having a 23min track where it sounds like you're just fucking around. It ended up becoming just background music which to me isn't the sign of a great album. Highlights: Statesboro Blues Done Somebody Wrong

Agree with Jamie, some of this is great, but then a lot of it is just then jamming. Can't have 23 minute songs like that on an album. Look forward to hearing one of their studio albums on the list The opening track, "statesboro blues" was the best

Pure Rock Blues. Enjoyed Stormy Monday. You don't love me - powerful. Hot 'Lanta - even better. Elizabeth Reed - some guitar solo! Whipping Post - loved it. This album is a definite 4 minimum... which means the full album needs to be listened to again, track by track. So, is it 4 or 5? Hmmm... 5 it is.

Obligatory 80-minutes long wankfest. This is like one of those sensory videos for babies with random fruit flying on the screen, except for old white people. There's not much substance, it goes on forever, and the target demographic is prone to shitting themselves. Made me feel like I'm never going to see my family ever again. 1/5.

I'm surprised at the lukewarm reaction to this album. No, it's not pure blues. It doesn't have anything on T-Bone Walker or any of the other greats they cover in the top half of this album. It's also not what this music is trying to do. They're having fun and vibing with the crowd. It's a different aspect of Blues and more importantly Blues Rock. I am always skeptical of "jam bands" because wankery and musicality are often confused. Bands like the Allman Brothers do make me enjoy it though. That said, I would probably dig this live much more than I do on record. Looking forward to their studio albums coming up, but enjoyed this one.

I fucking hate blues

Funky, I like it. Puts you in a good mood. Relaxed.

Yeah this is a bit of me, great groove, great vocals, top guitar.

This is quite a fun bit of noodling, but a whole 80 minutes of it is a bit much for me. It's a good example of what it is, but it really does feel like a jam session rather than an album. Could've done with a fair bit of tightening up, works well as background music, but not much more. Probably would've been great fun to have actually been there and see them record it, but this just drags. A middling 3/5.

Always worth another listen, a perfect playing a lazy afternoon

Great blues live album.

I chose the deluxe edition of this album and it has a 33 minute long song on it. Would've been 4 stars because it was quite nice but I am deducting a star for THIRTY THREE MINUTES (which isn't actually on the regular album so maybe it doesn't deserve it)

Murica

By the end, i was a fan

Ugh! Terrible white guy jammy blues. Hate it!

Haven't heard jam music this enjoyable in a while. It's still jam music tho. Great playing and the short songs are enjoyable, the closer also is a good 20 minutes of time. Overall I liked. 3.5 stars

Lot of talent on that stage. Not a big fan of live albums and all that organ got me thinking of “What up with That?.”

Whole lotta guitar, classic band and great listen while in the shop!

Another live album lol. Good musicianship, blues folk rock. Decent. Won't come back to it though

Great live album!

A little bit of rock, blues and jazz, this was a solid album. It probably deserves a higher rating, but sometimes you need to experience something live to really appreciate it, that was the case here, I would have preferred the radio edits I think. Favorite track was done somebody wrong.

Langdradig, en niet echt een toevoeging

Album was pretty good, could have gone without 23 minute songs

It's not really my thing, but there's no denying that it's a classic.

Bands that have stretched out long jams are not everyone's favorite and I understand that. I don't love stretched out songs and the fact I'm not totally in the mood for a 13 minute song is what prevents me from continuously listening to this album. Overall, a great album that needs to be heard over the Allman Brothers studio work, even if the studio work contains so many of their "other" hits. This is not white man's blues. Listening to what the Allman Brothers are doing here is completely different from what Eric Clapton was doing. A must-listen for me.

really liked the Mars-Volta-vibe!

Wow not a band I considered in the Jam genre but man this album jams.

Great blues jams. Second half is a bit too meandering for me though.

80/100

4.5

Blues jazz rock. Rollo. Todo el rato igual.

So many great rambling tunes. It's all different and yet, also the same. But it all flows and works so nicely together.

cannot get into it

I enjoyed the guitar tones and driving drums. There were moments where I was like, dang, this has been going a minute and then I'd look and it would be like a 20 minute track. I did like where sometimes a song would end with just a single instrument finishing out its line.

INCREDIBLE

So I’m not enjoying this. I find blues frustrating and i just want to yell ‘get over yourself’. But there’s some impressive guitar solos and I can see how this would have been influential. But i just want this to be over. Everything is so drawn out. What I wonder is if I’d feel this way on another day. Today this is just irksome.

Blues isn't my style, but it has good songs if you like the genre

not a big blues guy but You Don’t Love Me, Elizabeth Reed, and Whipping Post easily make this a 4 star album

I imagine this is as good these live blues albums are going to get.

Awesome ! Real good listen.

Statesboro Blues is a fun blues opener. Really enjoying this one, 3*. Was thinking of giving it a 4*, but it really rambled unnecessarily in the back half. Not much more to say other than I'm learning I really like blues. For a live, jam session kind of album, this one was ok. Also like You Don't Love Me.

Good album, seems like they had fun live but nothing special for me.

Me gusto mucho, pero es muy repetitivo escuchar el álbum completo

slaps

Leuk dit voor op de achtergrond whatever

heerlijke blues, daarna gewoon jamsesh

These guys are masters at their craft, however, it seemed a bit self indulgent at times.

A bit meandering and all over the place. But the playing is solid and the recording is top notch for a live album. It isn't perfect but it's far superior to anything the Grateful Dead produced.

It was fun at first. Then there was the rest of time.

Great album. Great musicianship.

While I appreciate the talent, and in fact like The Allman Brothers Band, at lest clean cut songs, studio, not live music. I am not a jam band fan. All that said, I feel this album might hold a place when taking LSD or another psychedelic. The jam band tend to really shine when tripping. 1/5

Didn't really do anything for me, just a live album

Surprisingly good, I really didn't think I would like them, going into rotation

Love it

Such a great album. Love most of the album. Love the bluesy sound, the bass and the drums. The vocals are raw and while the longer tracks do progress with purpose and with some rememerable guitar solos, it could’ve been a bit more tighter by cutting maybe 10-15 mins from the the longer tracks. But it’s still great. It’s a light 4 to a strong 4 for me.

Not bad, not the best all man album

Love this album, already had it on rotation

Great live album - would revisit again, but honestly I'm a little tired of classic rock. Maybe because it is such a well established genre, the novelty factor is quite limited. Even stuff like The Doors (which holds a very close place in my heart) wouldn't grab my ear now like it did when I was young, so I guess good, but wouldn't probably revisit. Fingers crossed for a more recent album today.

Great album, You must listen to the deluxe version though, some of the best tracks there.

Toto som este nepocul a je dobre, ze som to pocul

The Allman Brothers are listed as a “rock” band, but this is very bluesy. I definitely hear the rock too, but the blues is what’s attracting me. Stormy Monday feels very soulful. However, it’s a remake of a blues original/standard. I’m also loving You Don’t Love Me. Catchy, upbeat, good groove. They could’ve spared me the last 7-10 minutes, but it was probably better live. However, I definitely enjoyed this album.

Yeah I like them, and that's why I have it 4 stars. I have no other comments, your honor.

When I was in high school, my neighbor was in a (literal) garage band that liked to practice at 8am on Saturday mornings. They played exactly one song — Midnight Rider by The Allman Brothers Band. The neighbor that moved in after was a DJ at the local rock/metal station. I don’t recall if that station played The Allman Brothers Band, but I digress. At Fillmore East is just an extended jam session. Needs more Midnight Rider.

Zaczyna się średnio, ale później coraz lepiej. Dla laika jak ja to taki klasyczny improwizowany blues/jazz.

Irgendwelchi blues songs, i glaub ihne nöd dass die würkli so sad sind. Tönt scho guet für e live Album aber ... (Wenn das würkli en jam sötti sie, wieso hend sie denn immer nur eis gitarre solo uf eimol??) (I hass jam musig i hass jam musig i hass jam musig i hass jam musig) 78 min lang neeeii Geg de Schluss vo "you don't love me" nutzets d ziit guet und bauet was cools uf, lönds denn aber eifach verpuffe. Wegem song titel mues ich ahneh, dass das so denkt isch. Joy to the world lick ganz am Schluss au en nice touch, ich bin froh ischs verbi. Hot 'lanta gfallt mir, isch nur 5 minute lang, schön. Do gfallt mir sogar s orgle solo mol, wo mir sus immer biz zu spontan tönt.

De Duane cha gitärrele. De Bass tönt huuere geil. Done Somebody Wrong isch en Elmore James tune und mer merkts s isch 40er Blues time. Oh und es Gitarresolo ohni Slide au geil. De Butch Trucks spielt drums --> Derek sein Onkel. Stormy Monday guuets solo. you dont love me geeeile solobreak. gitarre sind links/rechts pannt. oooh ersts organ solo. de gitarre tone vode buebe isch recht geil, leider oder vlt bewusst schwer z unterscheide. You dont love me isch vieeeel z lang. de schluss isch no cool. Hot 'Lanta het chli jazzigeri chords recht cool. gitarremelodie in parallele quinte mega cool mega fusion. Schluss vo Hot 'Lanta geil mitem Feedback. Wer Lizzy Reed? Heter es Volume Pedal oder Chnop Time? 2 Gitarre unisono tönt wie Horns, ähnliche tone zahlt sich uus. Bassline riichtig hot. UUUUH TEMPOWECHSEL. de Bass uf elizabeth Reed isch geeil. boah und wie sie wieder id melodie gönd au. stereo image isch durs band geil. whipping post ok sie nudled eig scho vorallem. sehr sehr guet aber eig isch d begleitig spannender. boah bi 9minute wirds polyrhythmisch da isch schono geil. snare figgt. Teil bi 16:40 isch huere geil. plus s het nocher e hook und e countermelody nochem gsang und so mega nice. nocher Frère Jacques time sehr funny.

DAS SIND JA MEGA VILL BRÜEDERE sie eifach dütschi gsang gfalltmer, gitarre sehr nice, aber bass und drums gfühlt 5 min lang s gliche gspielt d stimm vom Allannemanne-Brüetsche-Sänger erinnered mich chli an Joe Bonamassa 19 MIN LIED OUHYEAAAAAAAAAAAAH mega cutes albumcover kei ahnig wie guet dass das so für sini ziit isch aber finds mega gueti ufnahmequalität? DE SWITCH BI 2:39 VO IN MEMORY OF BLALBA HUREN GEIL hans gad mehrmals müsse lose ah norml 23 min 3/5 Gitarre scho cool und ja luca slide au cool aber mit dem hets sich denn auchli iwie leider. Mega schön musig aber mit so lange Lieder und Soli han ich iwenn leider mental abgstellt. ich gah jz wiiter japanische blackmetal go lose ah und wäre cute hettmer meh vom live-feeling mitübercho, also chli meh interaktion mitem publikum etc. (aber bitte nöd "IHR SINDS BESTE PUBLIKUM WOMMER JE GHA HEND")

they were playing tf out of that electric guitar

they were cooking here. but maybe a little too much

Some tracks were stronger than others, but yeah man they knew what to do with those guitars! I've had Elizabeth Reed in my iTunes library since high school so I already loved that one but their version of Stormy Monday was also really nice

I would like to know why this specific live concert was chosen but even without context, their classics are timeless. 6.5/10

Grovin’ and a rockin’

Well rounded blues album with some jazz sprinkled in. 3.5

Definitely cool. Maybe a couple songs a little long. Gets better as the album progresses.

Since this is a live album there's the inevitable noodling that was ok in some songs and interminable in others. I didn't mind it on the whole. I do quite like In memory of Elizabeth Reed.

I couldn't finish this album - 80 minutes of rambling jam band is way too much. Not for me.

A great peace of history and a great peace of art too. I definitely like the way they play. Its for me a truthfully and spiritual way of playing music.

Felt very Elvis-era. Interesting to hear, but a live album isn’t the best introduction to a band. Certainly wasn’t bad but it didn’t feel monumental.

I mostly listened to it I swear. I liked it. Made me think of Hendrix. Hendricks?

Not a fan, too repetetive for my liking.

good 70s rock

Favoritos: Stormy Monday, Hot 'Lanta (directo a mi playlist de instrumentales), Whipping post

Not bad. Not great. Pretty meh. Live albums are weird. 3 out of 5.

blue rock bcp trop long 5.5/10

I thought i was enjoying this, with the mix of genres and skilled jamming. Then I tried actually listening to it, and then i became pretty boring and self indulgent.

I listened to this on a record player with an original pressing a few weeks ago, but I skipped around a bunch. This time it’s boomer rock, but with a twist! The boys can play and sing, together, all at once, in a live environment. I am also a sucker for the jam, I didnt realize that's what the Allman brothers were known for as I'm only familiar with their studio recordings. When a musician isa able vibes with others, it’s a beautiful thing - this one actually belongs on the list, but it does suffer from being a bit redundant. My kid fell asleep while listening to this album in the car so I can't fault it for being derivative. Review of reviews: It's not as good as people make it out to be, but it isn't bad either. Best Track: Stormy Monday

One of the best live albums I have heard. The crowd wanted to hear Whipping Post and they got their wish, twenty-three minutes of it.

Great live music.

really inspiring how people can communicate this well while jamming, and build solos and structure so well, I loved this, especially the tones chosen

straight up jams that still hold up. set the stage for the scene

That slapped hard.

They started in 71, and I think they are still playing the first guitar solo... An hour and 18 minutes of the same exact guitar tone, same key, and same bpm for over 90% of it. This is trash. No matter how much you want to figure them for being a jam band. This is utter trash. Just a guitar player jerking it in front of hippies.

Solid

I knew I was in trouble when I saw it was a live album with only 7 tracks but nearly an hour 20 in length....

ok, long songs

i'd love listening to a bluesy jam band live, but as an album it just kept fading into the background as they riffed, as impressive as they were. god, do i love that album cover though.

Boring. This is HS white boy guitar rock Two white guys from the south that had some good licks and some soul. This live album has nothing that made the Allmans great. And God damn, whipping post needs to be whipped by now.

11/6/23. Live albums are weird for me because I wish I could watch. Really good jams and instrument play, now I know where the TTB sound comes from.

Freaking awesome!!!

I've heard this so much from a flatmate blasting it way too loud but hearing through headphones this was fucking awesome, like I knew it was good but the jamminess of it is just so much fun

I liked the live recording. Album was enjoyable bluesey rock.

I have nothing to say on this. It washed over me and left no impression. It didn’t hurt though.

I don't see what this brings to the party that sounds unique or noteworthy at all. Not an unpleasant listen but 🤷‍♂️

As blues/rock as it gets. Got me moving.

Very enjoyable

It's a decent live album by a band that I didn't have the chance to hear before

The songs had a lot of solo guitar parts which were great, and honestly the instrumentals were the best part. But the vocals weren’t doing it for me

Couldn't help but thinking to myself "this is music".

2.5

I listened this in my 20s, I like blues. "Whipping post" blew my mind (that song is 5/5). Overall a great live album, some nice rock electric blues, and improvisation. A solid 4 (if you like blues )

Great Album

Live album, 2 hours for only 13 songs…already not the best first impression. I’m sure being at the show was great but I prefer studio albums

I'd be real chuffed watching these guys at a local fair for 6-8 minutes. Then I'd get a hotdog. I could see this album making any roadtrip feel like a real great-american-novel roadtrip. For that and Stormy Monday + a few other tracks that live somewhere between Gil Scott-Heron, Steely Dan and the Dead it's almost a 3 (great) but let's pace myself. 2.75 (good and 3/4)

5/5- One of my all-time favorites. That Stormy Monday is one of my favorite songs of all time and can put me in a fugue state.

The last two songs are consistently great, but other than that the truly transcendent moments are few and far between for me. Cut it down to that last 35 minutes and you'd really be cooking with gas.

An iconic album, deserved. This captures the spirit of Allman Brothers Band, arguably at their peak. Widely considered one of the best live albums in rock. They’re the original Southern Rock band, but don’t have the same foot-stomping, honky tonking feel that a lot of most of the bands that followed. ABB has more of a bluesy, jamming musical style, a bit “smoother”. But they can certainly rock out, too. If there’s a downside, it’s that the extended jams can go on, evidenced by Whipping Post which takes the 5 minute studio version and stretches it out to 22+ minutes. Or Elizabeth Reed which doubles from its studio version to almost 13 minutes. This is 7 songs in 76 minutes, it is not concise. Still, one of the essential albums of 70’s rock. 4/5

Only live songs

Jammin’

Absolutely love that blues rock sound, Allman Brothers are always a great listen. You Don't Love Me is a favourite.

Ahh, improv. I can imagine that this was a GREAT concert to attend. I love me some jamming. A bit part of enjoying that is 'being there', though. Sadly, I wasn't there. However, this album is still very nice, consistent, poppin'. I can't get myself to constantly pay attention to this, but I listened to it on the background and found myself constantly joining the rhythm. So, a very functional album, then!

I really want to like this. I really do. Maybe the Live version isn't for me. But I really want to like this.

Awesome instrumental, first time listener.

great live album

Groovy

TOO LONG. It’s a 2.5.

Geluisterd op 21-10-2023 Luister lekker weg, goede klassieke rock

Best song - Statesboro Blues

I appreciate the Allman brothers but not as much this album. Although it should maybe be opposite, I tend to stay away from jam-prone bands live albums.

Almost made four but the back half got too Jammy. Can totally see the roots of southern rock though.

I didn’t know anything about Allman Brothers before listening to this album. The closest thing I’m familiar with is Phish (I had a Phish phase), though Phish is more whimsical while Allman Brithers are more bluesy. To me this album makes for good background music - I can listen to it while working with no trouble. It’s kinda like baseball - when I’m at a game, I’m not really paying attention most of the time, it’s just there in the background.

I waffled between a 3 and a 4 on this. So, 3.5. But went 3 just based on my likelihood (or not) to revisit the album. Almost made me overcome my distrust of long, jam-y music.

First few track are great blues rock. Black Keys definitely owe a debt to...somebody. But the instrumental tracks and extended jams are just not my thing.

Not my speed, maybe a different day

Blues jazz rock. Rollo. Todo el rato igual.

Pretty cool if you want to listen to a 20 minute guitar solo. I don't. 2.71

surprisingly good.

Even without lyrics, the Allman Brothers Band know how to tell a story.

Maybe it would be different if I drove a beaten up 68 Chevy pickup, but the whole jam band movement really passes me by. Yeah, you guys can play guitar, but I just don't care that you can play guitar.

I don’t know why blues based jam bands of this era had so little faith in their own original material that they felt the need to fill an entire record of a live album with noodly covers from the 1920s. The instrumentation is obviously great but man is it boring hearing the same 12 bar blues for 40 minutes. The 2nd half is much better but still has a bit of an overindulgence problem that is a staple of the genre.

Pleasantly surprised

I love the Allman Brothers, but boy do I hate rambling jam bands. And I get it, even their studio albums get a little "jammy", but god damn I need some structure through 60 minutes of music.

I love it, probably not for everyone though!

This album felt like one big jam session which was dope! I did find myself missing the vocals throughout the songs. It’s definitely an album Id put on in the background while I did some work. This one gets a 3 from me baby!

awww baby its the allman brothas here we go

Not bad! I defiantly found myself jamming to a few of these. It’s also more blues than I expected from Allman Brothers Band. Something I could listen to while smoking a brisket but not something I could listen to all the time.

This was an awesome blues album! I went in with low expectations since it was another 70’s album, but boy was i blown away. I loved how raw and in the moment the whole band was. I will def listen to again. I only nocked it one star because a few songs were a bit too long but regardless an amazing album.

Initial thoughts: I felt dumb because I looked for the studio version to find out that one doesn't exist. Final thoughts: Ooo baby, some good ol' southern rock n blues. Tbh reminds me of live music I'd hear at some bbq restaurant in middle of texas hill country that i drove an hour to get to. You know the place, you can almost smell the hay and mesquite. You can definitely tell this was an infuential band for future artists like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Not a bad vibe for sure. Seeing that this is from the 70's I can see that this is right in the beginning of the evolution of rock. The blues is a huge giveaway, and I'd have to say I really liked their blues sound more than their rock sound. And look, I understand this was live, in the 70's, and "feelin the blues", but holy shit man. Jamming for ~20 minutes for two songs is... Definitely feeling the blues LOL Didn't add anything to my library, but I can see myself revisiting this album later. Maybe skipping the 20 minutes songs, but this was definitely a fun one to listen to.

Rating: 4.4

Just not for me

I enjoyed listening whilst studying, the long guitar solos were fun to listen to, especially the cheeky motifs

It's an old live album, so the quality was not good, the playing was interesting though

More noodling than a ramen shop, but damn that 22 minute version of Whipping Post goes hard. 🍜🍜🍜

Not a fan of jam bands and live music like that. Though I like their lyrics. Worth a shot.

I don't usually enjoy live albums but it was good

I was not vibing with this at all

Don’t like Live albums

Statesboro Blues: The guitar throughout this song was wonderful and the overall blues/rock vibe was wonderful. 4/5 Done Somebody Wrong reminded me more of the 50s rock and swing and style it had, yet was encapsulated into the 70s with the use of the guitar, a common theme. 3/5 Stormy Monday was a much more laid back song, reminding me of a cold day right after it rains. The guitar kept the song alive, however it did last awhile. 3/5 You Don’t Love me is a 19 minute guitar solo with intermittent pieces of singing. It begins fast paced, then slows down during the middle, before slightly picking up toward the end. Felt long but occasionally refreshing. 3/5 Hot ‘Lanta has no lyrics. This is fine, the movement of the song felt upbeat and fast, but was semi repetitive until the middle portion of the song. The ending was slow. 2.5/5 In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed felt a lot like a few other of the songs. I’m realizing they reuse a lot of sounds and feels in this album and by the end, the constant guitar can get slightly repetitive. However, stand-alone this is a better song than a few on this track. 3/5 Whipping post is 23 minutes long. That’s all there is to say.

I think you would’ve had to have been there. I’m not really sure how I feel about The Allman Brothers Band as a whole, but a live record that feels like a jam session isn’t really up my alley.

Blues Rock, gefällt durchaus

Pretty decent blues album, nut the biggest blues fan but I liked it!

Great musicianship. It just goes on and on though! Still excellent.

Blues rock live jam session. Not for me

Great for its time im sure, but blues has become a tiring subgenre for me. The jazz elements are quite good and overall the album was enjoyable and well performed. If youre into these elemts then youl really enjoy the album… but its not my personal genre preference

didn't really have any opinions its alright

Enjoyed listening to it, super long but very interesting songs

Started great but the last song was too long and messy. Steely Dan vibes... loved the funk

Love me some Allman Brothers Band, and especially love me a good live album. Overall a very good jam session from a top tier jam band: no standouts, but no complaints.

Doesn't get much better than this, peak Duane Allman. Classic blues, had a stank face going for all 78 minutes.

I was expecting studio albums, but it was a nice surprise to learn live albums are included on the list. This is a good one.

Ehhh

always considered allman brothers southern rock, but this live album is a combination of southern rock, blues, and jam band. it was pretty good.

Some kind of diet blues? Meh.

I like some of this but blues albums are t really my thing.

4.5

These guys are clearly talented blues musicians, but any album where the majority of tracks are longer than five minutes is gonna lose me sooner rather than later. I’m not a jam band guy, give me the studio cuts.

Far from my favorite Allman Brothers material. Way too much time dedicated to endless guitar solos, feels like a jam session.

A good background album to put on while doing other things. I like Statesboro Blues and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed best.

One of the best displays of what the Blues is, this performance is a must listen for those who are interested for the genre, and it is. Nothing more need to be said, absolutely amazing.

A band demonstrating their considerable musical powers. The Allman Brothers pack more American popular music innovation into a single live album here than most bands manage in whole careers. It's subtle: we're talking about the seemless fusion of the sonic roots of blues-based rock & roll to the structures, methods and theory of jazz. Two lead guitar players, two dueling drummers and a lot of improvisation. It's not for everyone. Jams meander by their nature but the Allmans and their band keep you hooked because of the infectious grooves they lock in. The melodic and harmonic ideas they elaborate on throughout their extended improv sections are entirely accessible and diverge very gently from where they begin. This is a very pleasant listen, and one that rewards but does not demand close attention throughout. Anyone who likes rock music should really listen to this at least once. Not just for its technical showcase (at every spot in the group) but to hear why twin guitars caught on, and why double drumming survived beyond James Brown's insistence on having a backup, just in case he had to fire one. Maybe not an everyday listen, but essential homework for every blues lover, jam hippie, metal head and guitar noodler out there. No Polyphia without the Allmans.

A lot beautiful, inspired guitar playing. Sometimes a little too big though.

5. This live album is one of the best of all time. The first song's rift is amazing as well. Overall, it is a great mix of genres that work and you can tell that the band have honed their craft. They were ahead of their time

Decent bluesy jam session. Good background music, not particularly memorable.

I'm not normally a fan of live albums from over 50 years ago. However this one is overall pretty clean quality wise. Very heavy rock blues type album. A little repetitive in their sound and 2 of the songs are just an hour long jam session. But overall not bad. It's not life changing music but it's definitely not bad music.

A 2 at the most, not too impressed with the music on these tracks.

Endless guitar solos get pretty old but this worked pretty well as background music while working.

Just a ton of jamming

Good album love the blues. My interest fell off in the middle though.

Not as famous as people thought back in the day.

Was good but felt a bit pointless. I'm also not a massive fan of live albums

One of my all-time favorite albums. I’ve listened to it hundreds of times over the years. Glad to see that it was the first recommendation in the group.

Classic live album from a classic band

Great Concert. A lot of fun. I'm not that into southern rock, but still enjoyed it.

This isn't a bad album, but again it runs into the issue of being unable to recognise where the track ends and embellishments begin.

I could listen to this 24/7

I like the Allman Brothers just fine, but 22+ minutes of "Whipping Post" is a bit absurd. This is definitely one of those albums I'd never listen to, but would have enjoyed if I'd been there.

Classic rock blues

Not my cup of tea but it's good

Boring

Missing a lot of their greatest tracks

The first two tracks are structured like actual individual songs, but the lyrics don't work that well. The rest of the album features longer, mostly instrumental tracks that consist of slowly developing variations on a central musical theme. It's kind of like prog but in a more blues rock style, which I thought was fun.

This was great, I could listen to it all day. Allman Brothers at their finest.

Decent, I liked a lot of it, but too long for me. As live albums go, definitely one of the better ones.

Loved this.

I just don't get the appeal of these washed-out blues jams. Blues for people who hate The Blues? Seven songs, over an hour? I skipped through to You Don't Love Me. And they were right – I don't. I gave up completely after about two minutes of that particular track.

This has been a summer of blues and R & B for me. It wasn't planned. The albums served up here of late have taken me in this direction. It's a road I've greatly enjoyed exploring. At Fillimore East is a great find. Of course the guitar solos are bloated. That's what you want from the blues. The tight rhythm section holds it all together. I've become an old man. There's no shame in my musical tastes reflecting this.

Boring.

Proto jam band is good.

Meh

Didn’t have enough time to listen but I feel like it’s a 3

Love the alliance brothers but generally not a fan of live albums

My favorite Southern Rock band. This Live album did not disappoint.

An album I've had for a while, but have never sat down to fully listen through. Live shows sometimes just end up coming across as a greatest hits, but the extended blues jams and variations to the songs make each song different enough that At Fillmore East sounds like its own album. The extended jams are generally good and give the listener a lot to experience, but the length of the overall album and of some individual songs will lead to the album feeling bloated and overdone to some.

Good album to enjoy on a sunday afternoon. Some of the songs dragged a bit for me but mostly enjoyed the jam.

The gold standard of live recordings. Guys in their mid 20 sounding like well seasoned blues men. I listen to It at least once a month.

Pleasant jazzy blues rock doesn’t blow minds

Blues jazz rock. Rollo. Todo el rato igual.

I mean, it's the Allman Brothers. Tightest live group ever. I guess I'm just not discovering anything new? Whipping Post seems overlong. I feel like I'm being too harsh, maybe it's one of those "they've been copied and remixed to death so the original has lost some shine".

Beaucoup de longs morceaux lives, vraiment pas terrible

Along with Live/Dead this is the best live album there is, capturing the red-hot Allman Brothers giving birth to the jamband. Duane Allman is unstoppable on slide guitar - the phrasing, the rough-fuzzy tone that becomes crystaline as he climbs the neck, the electrifying runs and perfect fills between his brother's lines. Dickey Betts isn't bad either, adding major-key country melodies and jazz sensibilities that bring a joyful climax the blues jams. Gregg Allman's singing is deep and corny and moving; the drummers can't stop and Berry Oakley's bass holds it all together. The only thing wrong with this album is that it isn't the deluxe edition, where Whipping Post fades and those first few gentle notes of Mountain Jam kick emerge. Blues rock should have stopped after this really as what's the point, but don't hold the millions of tiresome blues-dads that followed them against the Allman Brothers, this is an all-timer.

Not sure why it's on the list, but I listened to it and it was alright.

Classic.

This album was fine. I'm not really a blues rock person, so a lot of it just felt very generic to me. I recognized a couple of songs but only one really stood out. Standout Tracks: You Don't Love Me

I need a whiskey

So so

lively but long

DA NA NA NA NA

Longest album I've had so far, but good blues/country, though it isn't really my thing. The instrumental tracks and second half of the album were better. It's kinda jam-y background music. BT - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed - Whipping Post

Favorite song: Stormy Monday

Jam album, 20 minute songs, but they switch it up enough so that it isnt an issue

Good live blues album. Enjoyable listen

3.5/5

"Essential" is pushing it. It's good though.

This album just doesn’t stop! One of the best live albums ever.

Great Album! 5 stars

Tiene cosas buenas, pero medio embole despues del tercer tema. Entiendo porque esta.

Debe ser divertido estar jameando 20 minutos un tema. Escucharlo no tanto.

The blues rock jamming on Disc 1 is nice to listen to, but In Memory of Elizabeth Reed and Whipping Post on Disc 2 take it somewhere else. About 15 minutes in Whipping Post is clinically dead, but I kind of like how they nonetheless persist and keep going, even resorting to Frere Au Jacques at one point. It's the impression of music being formed in real time that draws my attention.

A live album that's particularly listenable. Enormously talented musicians at the height of their powers. Fantastic. It sure sounds like blues, but this is actually a jazz album, isn't it?

4.5

Arguably the greatest live album of all time. I've owned a copy of this for a long time and never tire of listening to it. One of the best examples of having a lot of genres(Blues, Jazz, Soul, Rock)all rolled into one and played by a group of amazing musicians at the peak of their power.

Helps when you already like the band as the album seems to dwell a little too long on guitar solos and wanna be Santana sequences ... Nice take on Stormy Monday, but too drawn out as is an extended version of "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and a 23-minute long version of the "Whipping Post", which seems to also not connect much with the audience.

This was decent, they definitely shred

That's my jam but when listen to one 20 minutes track you keep wondering is this for real or somebody making fun of you.

Nice sound but tedious

Dsgo8r

Great road trip music

A live album that shows that sometimes less (songs) is more (extended jams)!

Absolutely what a live album should be and there isn't a better version of Whipping Post anywhere.

Pretty good

This album is criminally boring. Anything interesting is buried in 20 minute songs that do nothing for most of their duration. This probably would have been a 2 if it wasn't 70 minutes long. I don't get it. Also, the end of the album was very anticlimactic. I guess my favourite song was Stormy Monday, but I don't want to listen to any of these again.

Pretty boring

Statesboro Blues- 4.3/5 Done Somebody Wrong- 3.7/5 Stormy Monday- 3.4/5 You Don't Love Me- 2.3/5 Hot 'Lanta- 1.8/5 In Memory of Elizabeth Reed- 1.5/5 Whipping Post- 2.4/5 Total- 2.7/5

I enjoyed the album, but enough to give it more than a 3. I get that they're a jam band, but some of the songs were frankly too long. I mean 23 minutes, that's fucking bonkers. It's also great quality for live performances, props to that!

My opinion on this album is really two-fold. On the one hand this is one of the best live albums ever recorded. You can really hear this is an amazing band that really need a live venue to bring the magic that their regular albums kind of lack. They're bringing their own compositions and covers to impressive song lengths with passion and intensity. Duane Allman is the best slide guitarist I've ever heard. The intermezzo on "You Don't Love Me" is the prime example of this. On the other hand, if you really don't like listening to glorified jam sessions on record while not in the crowd this is a bitter pill to swallow. And you lose interest after the 2nd 8 minute solo.

This is great. Blues, hammond, geetar...whats not to like

Very good white man blues - but I don’t like the genre and it is a bit too long for me.

Me aburrió

So I'll admit, even though I love me some jam and some southern rock, I have never fully bought into the hype surrounding The Allman Brothers Band. I love their album Eat A Peach, but outside of that, I have never felt a magnetic attraction. I have attempted to listen to and review this on 3 separate occasions, but each time, I kind of lose focus. Ultimately, my feeling is that these guys can certainly jam, but where the Dead and Phish have cohesive jams that explore different sonic environments and interplay between the members, I largely find Allman Brothers to be a bit messy and long-winded with a significant focus on solo guitar excursions. In a word, they just don't feel as cohesive. Perhaps for some that is the point, and certainly there are plenty of guitar licks to enjoy here. For me, it just isn't what I go in for. That said, the blues rock is solid and I absolutely love that In Memory of Elizabeth Reed is on here and drawn out. This exists in a weird place between a 3 and a 4 to me, with individual songs having 5 moments. Going 3.

Meh..too long. Don't do blues jams all that much. 1.5/5

I've given this same review for half the live albums on this list, but this is another one where the actual concert seems like it would have been a blast but it doesn't mean it needs to be an album. 3.5 stars

not really into jam bands. never have been. They are clearly good musicians but that's as much I can say objectively.

I dig the sound, but maybe just a little too long on the jams. Still great though!

Enjoyed this album. Hard going in for a live one without knowing the band but still thought it was boss

It must be great to hear it live but it doesn't resonate well in a recording.

Sound is very good, really like them, but the live version of the songs just goes on for too long. Could be an easy 4 otherwise.

I'll be honest, I put this on while I was playing Diablo because I just knew I wasn't going to want to sit and do nothing but listen to this album. There are certainly worse things in the world to listen to, but I honestly just have zero interest in this. I really don't think any of these songs were good enough to justify extending them to be 19, 13, or 23 minutes long. Like, maybe it was a different atmosphere at the performance and that would have been neat? I don't know. But sitting here listening to this it felt like eternity and I was just waiting for it to end. At Fillmore East? 1/5 Diablo 4? 5/5

Maybe because I haven't had access to my Spotify for 4 days now and I'm cranky. Trying to listen on Youtube through my work computer doesn't help either. Have a cousin who insisted I would love these guys when we talk southern fried rock. Tried a few songs awhile back, now listened to this and I'll have to say, I just couldn't get into these guys. Sounded like just a bunch of guys jamming out. Nothing stood out and really have no interest in relistening when I do get my Spotify in order. Maybe my frustration is clouding my thoughts, but this is a pass for me. 1

Me: *Sees 7 songs at an hour and twenty minutes* Me: This better be good I swear to god. 2 Hours Later... Not bad honestly. I normally don't like jam band bullshit but the blues edge to this made it remarkably listenable for me. 4 RIP to literally everyone in this band.

2.5 The band is laughing on the cover because Duane just ran over, grabbed some drugs from a dealer, and stashed it in his lap. There, fun fact out of the way. In traditional Luke fashion, despite having a familiarity with the album, I’ve never listened to it. I am familiar with a handful of the group’s songs though, including Midnight Rider, Ramblin’ Man, Listen to the Music, Jessica, and China Grove (note: some of these might be Doobie Brothers songs). While I’m not necessarily a big fan of any of those, fortunately none of them are here, so I went in with an open mind. Well, it’s definitely much bluesier and probably better than anything of theirs I’ve heard prior, but that’s not saying much coming from me. From the limited knowledge I have of the band and what I heard here, it does seem they’re the kind of group that is probably better live, so I see why this album was a success. That to say, while some of the freestyling jam out moments were cool, I don’t think keeping them up for 10+ minutes made them any cooler. Like, come on guys, I thought that there was an unspoken concert rule that you get to do one extended version of a song if you so choose, but three?? It turns a setlist of seven songs into a marathon. At one point I checked in on my status of Whipping Post to see how far I had made it in and learned it had only been four minutes. Then when I thought for sure I had reached the end I checked again and was only 13 minutes in. While I don’t really have anything negative to say aside from the runtime, I don’t have a ton to say that’s positive for me either - the jam out moments were the only remarkable aspects for me, each of which started strong then started to lose me the further they went on. So, I’d say it’s okay overall, but I’m probably not likely to return.

One of my favorite albums that I've owned for like 20 years. What do you think?

So goddamn boring

I haven’t heard much by the Allman Brothers Band before. I know Jessica (thanks to Guitar Hero) which is great, but that won’t be found on this album. It’s a live album too - I worry that you already need to be a fan of a band most of the time to enjoy a live album. But let’s listen and find out! Songs I already knew: none Favourites: none I did finish this album, but it was irritating to listen to. It reminded me of when I went to see the Black Crowes and they’d extend a sound by a good 15 minutes to have a long, drawn out guitar solo. This is very much the vibe of this album. There are only seven songs, but the album is 80 minutes long thanks to the overlong guitar solos. I’ll never listen to this again. I don’t see any appeal to this.

They only have a live version?

Couldnt find the album on my apple music so went for Essential. Class Rock time!

Pretty solid album, I enjoyed it. Kinda wanna listen to some more by this band. Will listen to again.

Right up my street this one, a few songs go on a bit much but overall brilliant live album.
