At Fillmore East

I am sure it was cool to see it live, but a song is a song and a jam is a jam.

Listened to the 2.5 hour deluxe version. A rambling, jamming, bluesy concert. Great times! I really enjoyed the extended length Whipping Post and Mountain Jam.

Great album, another one that my dad approves...

I'm not a fan of 23 minute songs. These songs were way too long. BUT they were still good. Some of the bluesy riffs were quite enjoyable. They were just too long.

Anooother live album

Not my favorite

Nice live blues music

Cool, bit draggy /samey

Un Classico

This one was one the first albums I listened to with my friends in HS. We spent 2 summers hitting record stores. This album reminds me of that couple of summers.

Blues more than rock. Well done but hardly inventive, progressive, novel etc...

I'm not a big fan of the "jam band" thing, but this is pretty good. Some incredible guitar work in the midst of some long, pointless jamming. Must have been amazing to see them live. 3 stars.

Yeah it was good. I was impressed at the straight-up blues.

Yes. Not many are going to get five star but this does

Jam band

Not bad. Fun little live Blues record

Look... live albums often feel like your friend showing you a video they took at a concert; but here is where context matters... The Allman brothers band is a jam band. Just like the Grateful Dead. Sure studio albums are fine if you want to hear the polished copy of their songs; but bands like these are important; because they are performing artists. Dead heads and hippies didn't travel with these bands because they really liked their 5 set songs and wanted to hear them performed over and over again. They followed these bands across the US and beyond; because each time these bands played a song, it was different, it was greater, it was grander, it was the spirit of blues and improvisation. That being said... I'm not really a fan of live albums. I am however a fan of blues. This album has some great solos 'on done somebody wrong' . You can feel that they are having a blast jamming together on stage.

Was pretty good actually.

I like jazz music so I enjoyed this album. I liked the instrumental music. Granted I skipped a bit since some of these songs were long...

Great playing. Long jams with Enthusiastic blues and Duane is missed.

Classic southern rock. Great album

Production: 4/20 Songwriting: 4/20 Innovation: 2/20 Bangers: 0/20 Emotional response: 2/20 =12 get teh fuck white man blues

Every track on this album crackles with energy. This is clearly a band that honed their craft and spent countless hours playing together. Everyone is on point through songs that wind upwards of 10 minutes. The songs wind expertly from rootsy blues of Stormy Monday to the frentic uptempo rock of You Don't Love Me Anymore. Its hard not to get caught up in the energy that this band channels into every second. Its fun to hear the band react to the music and yell at the band between songs. Theres nothing not to love here. The dueling guitars, the manic drum sets, the pumping bass, and Gregg Allman's piano and lyrics tying it altogether. The album isn't perfect but its imperfections are often an artifact of the fact that it is a live album and help make it better.

Nice blues album

Now, this is an interesting mix of musical genres that I've never had the opportunity to hear before... Rock + Blues + Country + so much more. I enjoyed the whimsy of it all, swinging between the different styles, and weaving them into a single fabric, making you feel like you're listening not to one band, but to a strange one-time fusion event.. which I suspect it was? I may be wrong, and I will be happy if it wasn't... it means more music like this I can look forward to in the future! It's always a pleasure discovering new flavour combinations in food, and style combinations in music, and this was no exception. This was totally my jam, and probably my new favourite flavour of it (pun intended).

My worst nightmare: a live album with only 7 songs clocking in at over an hour!!! Not terrible, just interminable. 2.5 rounded up.

All the guitar solos

I like this. Bluesy. I had no idea. I thought they were country and Neil Young was more like ummm folk music or blue grassy. This is not what I expected. Traditional blues riffs everywhere. I had this cd in high school that was all backing blues stuff for you to do improvised solos over the top of it. I'm sorry...maybe they'd hate this...but this is what that sounded like. Also look how happy they look in this album cover but like you can tell....this group does drugs. Gregg Allman married Cher. What? Whipping Post is 23 minutes long. 23 minutes. How does that work? Like how did that song ever get exposure? In Memory of Elizabeth Reed is 13 minutes. How...did ....that ....ever ....work? Whipping Post is the best of the album. All 23 minutes. Wild man, wild. It stands out with it's opening. Blues can sound like the same song over and over and over...but Whipping Post is blues and then this unique heavy tripping triplet feeling bass-line. Fast moving base lines in general are memorable.

An exceptional snapshot in time of a band that had much better songs to come.

Meh.

Pretty good live album, haven't heard Allman Brothers Band too much to comment on how it compares to their studio albums.

Good life concerts, with style. It doesn't convince me, way too long and similar. It is good for some groove though.

Cool guitar but otherwise nothing too special

Their guitar playing is on point for sure. I'm still not sold on them entirely though.

Jammier than I would normally pick for myself, but to expect anything else would be naive. I found myself getting into the groove of a 20 minute song. I dig it.

improvisationS MANEIRO

One of these songs is 19 minutes and I enjoyed six seconds of it, it's just sort of background noise I cannot connect to.

Good live album. Would have loved to see them live but for an album it goes on a bit.

это ж классика блюза и слайд-гитары!

Jazz, blues e rock. Perfeito

Hip!

Jam band with great sound.

Live music that's so well recorded and performed that you can barely tell. Classic!

More musical and not a big fan of live albums, but I liked the vibe

Good rock even though long live songs like this are better appreciated live.

ok instrumental

Warum ein live Album? Soll ich das als milderne Umstände von der Soundqualität abziehen? Und dann auch noch 134 Minuten... Smooth Blues, aber nichts, was zum hören Aufmerksamkeit fordert. Streckenweise sehr gute längere melodische Einlagen, die eher jazzigen Charakter haben, aber erst nach ca. 30 Minuten Blues. Wenig Text, aber wenn dann häufig penetrant über Gott. Das Publikum nervt stellenweise und der Smacktalk zwischen einigen Liedern auch. Ganz klar nicht noch mal hören, aber tatsächlich vor allem weil es Live ist. Die Band ist okay, teilweise sogar gut.

top notch

I love these kind of blues, makes me focus makes me do things. Very energetic and feelgood

Meh.

No interesting ideas in sound

даже не читая отзывов критиков и вообще не зная об этом альбоме ничего я сразу понял, что это шедевр. великолепные произведения, дополненные взрывающими голову гитарными соло, если говорить совсем кратко. достойно прослушивания каждого, даже если вы не любите тяжелый блюз.

Gave it a listen but it’s just not my vibe

Excellent album. Please play albums like this

Good Vibes! Fun Live Blues/Rock

dsds

It would have been fun to see this live, but for the album I’m looking for a little more connectivity

Que álbum fenomenal. Rock, blues, soul, swing.... fantástico

Live albums are bad albums

Clássico

Soulful blues on one of the best live albums I’ve heard!

Rock, Soul, Blues Feels classic Dad likes this band I think

I enjoyed the jam stuff, just sounds like a fun show to be at

GOAT love album. Guitars don’t get much better than this

The sequencing is a slow build: The listening state ten or twelve minutes is about the same as in any other live country case. Then, a few minutes later, comes the first fade, almost to black, of You Don't Love Me. Careful! This is where taste becomes more important, and where the live audience attempts to sway you with theirs. The organ peeks out, but won't come into its own until later in the multi-movement jam. At the end, everything crashes down painlessly and musically. The false promise of another song is unfortunate but probably an artifact of the vinyl format. The three longer songs are the obvious heart of the release. The guitar lines are long and indulgent, but not particularly noodly. In time, the aforementioned organ is introduced, along with slide guitar and (a bit of) bass. It's bright all the way through. Doesn't reach the rapture of certain other live recordings for me thanks to my lack of close listening for quotes (which could be remedied with time) and the backgrounding of the rhythm section (which is unlikely to change).

3.5/5. Standout Tracks: Stormy Monday, You Don't Love Me, Hot 'Lanta, In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, Whipping Post

Can hear it's good but not my style of music. Some very long tracks.

Too bloated, self indulgent and long. Sounded like a band rehearsing.
