At Fillmore East

So chill and amazing guitar

Great Album

Melodic jamming Might sing might not don’t matter The guitar’s your guide

the musicianship here is great. this is, i think, my preferred method of listening to the allman brothers, just because it's raw, it's live, it's the pure distillation of their skill. just an incredible group of musicians firing on all cylinders LIVE. incredible.

More like fill my ears, amirite?

An all time classic.

incredible.

One of the best, if not THE best, live albums ever recorded. 5/5

Quintessential Allman brothers. While I love jamming and it Was great they could’ve easily trimmed 5 min off each of them for my personal taste. But Duane All an is in my top 5 guitarists of all time!!

Hell. Yes. You Don’t Love Me and Whipping Post are amazing.

I was already intimately familiar with this album. This is one of the best live albums of all time. It's a really nice mix of standard blues and more complex material. The instrumentation is amazing. The shorter songs are extremely tight and the extended jams never feel directionless. I had to put on Mountain Jam from Eat A Peach afterwards because the first few notes at the end of Whipping Post demands it!

I think I just like Allman Brothers

Classic rock! Loved it!

Classic Album. Great listen.

Beyond Classic!

Incredible, I didn't even realize how smooth the performance was until it became clear this was a singular live performance

Allman Brothers! I'd never noticed before how prominent the harmonica was in the Allman Brothers sound! They were really spot on in this performance, and the acoustics and sound quality in the venue were really great. Two drummers really messed with me for a minute. There's just so much going on here -- in a good way. The entire show really boogies. Truly one of a kind and so much awesome energy. Five stars.

So many versions to listen to. Went with the 7 song default.

Amazing

Been a fan of this one for years perfect album

An all-time favorite! Begins with the iconic line...OK, the Allman Brothers Band ~ I never saw them play when Duane was still alive, but met someone that had. When I asked how good was Duane Allman? They replied, well Dickie Betts played rhythm guitar then and never bitched about it!

Blues classic. Love this record. Wish I could play slide guitar like Duane Allman.

Thoughts before listening: One of the greatest live albums of all time. This is 5-stars. Review: Bluesy, jazzy southern rock with killer guitar. Duane Allman is one of the greats on his instrument, especially for a slide player. So much energy in these songs that get pushed to the next level when the slide solos take over. The band would go on to be a huge influence on jambands and others that focus on their live shows over everything else, and this album was really the blueprint for that sound. Absolute classics in "Statesboro Blues", "Stormy Monday", "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed", and "Whipping Post". 5-stars.

Never heard this album before and I loved it - perfect music to chill to. Laid back blues rock.

legendary

It’s albums like this that make me proud to be from Georgia

All timer that has aged beautifully

Very good album

Super groovy! Loved it!

I looove the slide guitar! This must have been absolutely wild live. I don't prefer listening to live albums but this one was mixed well and I didn't hear the distracting crowd noise too much. And the talent (esp on the guitar) is on another level. Very "American" sound.

Absolute staple live album, Allman Brothers are iconic

Awesome!

Listened to this quite a few times and I really enjoyed it. In the least disrespectful way possible this is fantastic background music and really enjoyed having this on whilst I worked. Due to that I couldn't tell you the names of any songs but this album is being saved for sure.

Me ha gustado este tipo de música entre rock and roll y rhythm and blues. Muy buen directo.

5 out of 5 Blues badassery right here, and this is up my alley. Very awesome live album, good guitar jams, overall excellent performance. 5/5

Super live Album mit gutem Southern Rock

Arguably, perhaps the best live album ever. No duds or throw-aways

Vintage, excellent!

One of the first great, live rock albums and one of the best live albums of all time. The progenitor of Southern Rock as a genre. I'm sure this album inspired everybody from Lynyrd Skynyd, The Outlaws, Molly Hatchett up through Chris Stapleton, The Drive-by-Truckers and of course Gov't Mule. The sound isn't great given the production capabilities of the time, but the power of the performance has no trouble breaking through. While they continued without him for most of the band's long existence, it makes me wonder what else Duane Allman could have contributed.

One of the greatest live albums of all time. What an absolutely kick ass blues band. Their cover of One Way Out is a Classic, and the punch-in at the end of Whipping post is simply fantastic. My only regret is that we didn’t get this on a Friday given how long some of these tracks are.

Enjoyed it although the run times on the songs were a little long for my tastes.

Love it! I could listen to a couple of the songs on this album all day long.

Jam bands are a tricky subject. I’m someone who finds long songs to often be the highlights of a record. It’s where the artists often put the most concentration and creativity. But this is a live album. And so almost every song is a long one. That live format allows the band to go for as long as they want, and as long as their creativity can push them forward. And as a described, that limitless potential to just keep jamming is alive and well in these recordings. This is jam band blues at its most essential and perfected. It amazes me how well each of these members are able to read each other and keep playing so in sync without a single word being shared during the performance. They are actively reading each other’s minds and each other’s instruments. It is improvisation only seen in spaces occupied by jazz gods. And their skills are no joke. These guys are seriously next level. Duane is an incredible guitarist, and his brother Gregg is an equally brilliant organist, and has a powerful singing voice. Gives me super Hendrix vibes. My only complaints are that Stormy Monday feels a little lackluster compared to the rest of the album, and the last bit of Whipping Post drags on a bit longer than it should have, which is inevitable in a live jam album. But otherwise, this is fantastic, and if you are at all a fan of blues music, check this out. Rating: 9/10

Great Album

Very nice blues. A top listen if you like blues.

Happy memories. Bro John had this and maybe Kerry

Great live southern rock

Cool vom 1. Stück an. Sehr bluesig

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

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.

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

Great live album!

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.

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

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

INCREDIBLE

Love it

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

That slapped hard.

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

Very enjoyable

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.

Jammin’

Awesome instrumental, first time listener.

Best song - Statesboro Blues

I love it, probably not for everyone though!

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.

4.5

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.

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

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

I could listen to this 24/7

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.

Loved this.

Proto jam band is good.

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

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.

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.

Favorite song: Stormy Monday

Good live blues album. Enjoyable listen

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

Great Album! 5 stars

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?

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.

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.

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

Banger! One of my fav from the almans since way back in the day

An amazing look into what is essentially an extended jam session from some of the best to ever do it. Some may criticize for it's long play time but I'm glad they let the songs breath and live for a while. Just some artists living through the music in 78 minutes. The extended versions are worth a look as well.

Fantastic album! I am a massive fan of the Duane Allman era and also his work with Clapton. Essential listening for anyone who loves Blues guitar and solos.

best live rock band, best live rock album

I went into this project thinking I wasn’t into blues or jam bands. Now 600+ songs later I’m totally into this bluesy jam band album. These songs did go on and on but I loved what was happening. I feel one step closer to going to Phish concerts…

Never heard of them, but a brilliant album full of guitar riffs

Top rockin'

Just immense blues rock, obviously. One of the all time greats. Hard to believe they were all so damn young. I appreciate that unlike a certain dirigible-themed blues rock band, they want you to know where the music came from.

One of the best live albums I've ever heard, hearing Duane Allman in top form is pure bliss.

Brilliant

Vijf kwartier dampende blues, het kon slechter. Wat deze muziek tijdloos maakt, is een moeilijke vraag. Kennelijk het ruw randje, het spontane, en natuurlijk het superieure spel van de heren.

Old time blues-rock. Espectacular.

Duh

This album is incredible I love everything about it. Unfortunately was probably the peak of Allman Bros for me. Stormy Monday just reminds me of those boner pill commercials which is also unfortunate.

Hells yes. 5 stars.

This is one of the greatest live albums ever. And I like it a lot. But I discovered that you need to be in the mood for this.

already listened 10/10

Loved this one

What more could you ever want, really

Ripping

My favorite forever.

Already listened, second favorite of all man brothers

What a performance. The best live album ever made – breathtaking solos, convincing blues, easy-groovin' boogies. And though the firepower is massive, the playing is deft and fluid, even as it chugs. There's even a sweetness to it. Listen on a long drive on an open road. Every cut appeals, but one's personal highlights are "You Don't Love Me," and "HotLanta" and "In Memory" and the closer – they just go on and on, getting more amazing along the way. The band's inner dramas became an embarrassment later on but what a testament to this. No Eat a Peach is a total WTF? Perhaps the most egregious exclusion from this list, Eat a Peach is better than easily half of the other listees and, one reckons, all nine – 9!?!?!?!? – Bowie records and all three Tim Buckley records. One can't imagine editors disqualified it because it included some live cuts from Fillmore East. Anti-Southern bias more likely.

Really great jam band

The Fillmore East is one of those legendary venues that is, in itself, a member of any band that walks onto its stage. There's an undeniable energy to the place that has a measurable effect on audience and band alike. While I'm not a big fan of Allman Brothers in general, this album is evidence of that Fillmore effect. The brothers rip out some damn fine electric blues that just pulses with a powerful energy and you can hear it in the audience's response. It's a really great blues jam record and a supremely good live album. Full marks.

Amazing live album from an amazing jam band.

Easily a top 5 album of all time for me

Just excellent

Classic!

having not been born for several decades after this album came out, i discovered through means in the internet i don't exactly recall. what i do recall is that i had this on repeat for quite a while. excellent album.

One of the best Live albums ever. Shows the band with all of their muscle.

Classic blues jams

Really enjoyed this. Need to add more Allman to my rotation

What a great performance, but also a real commitment of an album. It’s many of best songs the Allmanns had recorded to that point, with a few gems that were to be released on the next album, Eat a Peach. Epic performances of Whipping Post and Mountain Jam. Stellar performances by all the members of the band. While I was thrilled by Duane and Dickey as their guitars soared, and moved by the incredible soulfulness of Greg’s singing, I had to stop many times and shake my head at the incredible groove that the rhythm section maintained without pause for over two hours. Just incredible feel and stamina! Great album, and a true classic. On the constructive criticism side, I did think that You Don’t Love Me was unnecessarily long, although the Duane jam in the middle did seem like a little wave to Jimmy Page, like, “Hey man! I can do that too!”

Trop bon, un classique pour moi, ecoute de dizaine de fois. 5

Statesboro Blues- 8.5/10 Done Somebody Wrong- 8/10 Stormy Monday- 9/10 You Don't Love Me- 9.5/10 Hot 'Lanta- 8/10 In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed- 9/10 Whipping Post- 8/10 AT Filmore East- 8.5/10

I listened to the tracks, and so did my neighbour (although he doesn't get much choice in the matter)! This is one of my favourite alums of it's kind. It's by-far the best live album I've ever heard. From beginning to end, it's absolute audio pleasure. Even though I didn't own the album - I now intend to buy it as soon as I'm able.

Mõnus dadrock

heard the two-hour deluxe edition it blew my mind how great those performances were - 10/10

Very great sound for a live album.

Saggy tits and swinging balls Passed out in my overalls A blazing row, a crumpled can, a rusty nail, a faded tan My bloodshot eyes, her broken wrist A ray of sunlight in the mist The hateful looks, the broken smiles, and all I'm thinking all the time... is... You fuckin' cunt, I hate your guts Go away, you filthy slut Your fanny stinks, your arse is fat But, I still love you, that's a fact RIP Pauline.

Perfection

Listening to this album I had this sense of I'd heard it before... and looking into my last.fm history I indeed had. I had completely forgotten I listened to this album a fair number of times almost a decade ago. It all came flooding back about how I loved this album and I'm not quite sure why it went out of rotation. This is great live blues rock jamming. The guitar tones just wail in a perfect way. Add in the extended jams and this what I want out of a live album.

This was THE live album which makes every other seem little in comparison. Absolutely loved it

It is a breathtakinglsy good live album. Duane Allman is a legend.

All about the live jams with the Allmans, good stuff. One Way Out is one of their best songs IMO, but what really rocks on here is this version of In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.

Muito bom o álbum! Perfeito pra ouvir e relaxar. Gostei muito! Melhor música: Stormy Monday

"At Fillmore East" is the Allman Brothers Band's first live and third overall album. I like their quote that they do not consider themselves a jam band but a band that jams. And jam, they do indeed on this. This was recorded over two nights at the Fillmore East in NYC. The original release was a double album containing seven songs with two songs, "You Don't Love Me" and "Whipping Post" each with a dedicated side all to themselves. Obviously, most these songs are extended to some extent with the Brothers putting on quite the jam especially Duane Allman and Dickie Betts on guitar. This album is also one of those selected for preservation in the Library of Congress for its cultural, historical or aesthetically importance by the National Recording Registry. These songs all have some level of guitar, drum, organ or bass solos to them. Their music contains aspects of blues, jazz and rock, a lot of times within the same song. "Stormy Monday" has a bluesy start with aspects of jazz and the highlight for me being the guitar solos of Betts and Allman. The 13-minute "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" has a bass solo, an organ solo and of a mind-blowing guitar solo at the end. Good use of two drummers. And, of course, the 23-minute "Whipping Post" ends the album with a chaotic finish highlighting every instrument they have. If you like hearing a rockin band jam with one of the best guitarist ever in Duane Allman, this is your album.

Certainly one of the greatest live albums in rock history. Duane Allman’s slide guitar is so unearthly good and the whole band is just in sync, the crowd wholly on their wavelength. A masterpiece.

Jam sensacional

got that great 70s blues rock vibe with electric guitar, raspy voices, makes you do the stank face. vibes. couple long ass jazz riffing instrumental songs.

Good

One of my favorites. Classic live performance. Liz Reed, whippin post brings the 🔥

Loved this, especially its more psychedelic odysseys, which reminded me of Circle and Pharaoh Overlord.

Duane was the mane.

One of my favorite live albums.

A masterpiece. Probably the best live album of all times.. In the top 3 for sure.. Whipping post is epic

Es como rock urbano pero afinado y bien tocado. Diez estrellas.

Excellent live album

So much jams. All the jams. Jammy jam jams

Great experience! Electrifying!

5.5….one of MY top ten albums…cut my teeth in great music with this album….had older siblings that were a great influence, but discovered this one on my own…saw then once with Duane( my 1st concert) and 3 times after that….just can’t say enough about album and group

Raw and thumping rock n roll blues and southern.

If there is a Mount Rushmore for live albums (and I'm assuming that there is), At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band should very well be in it. The second half of the album is among the most fiery and magnetic moments in not just rock, but music, history. No wonder this shot up the charts rapidly unlike their previous efforts. Favorites: Hot 'Lanta, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Whipping Post.

Blues! Such a good album!

LOVE IT

Awesome love album. The band talks about how they didn't have a lot of commercial success with their studio albums, mostly having to do with the fact that they felt constrained by the limits of studio recording (3:20 song times). So apparent listening to this album - the band is meant for live music! Awesome riffs and great solos throughout

The Zeus in the "greatest live albums of all time" pantheon

Almost gave it four stars for a less than ideal tracklist (a good balance of hits/jams, even for a legendary jam band like this, is ideal for a mass released album). But, the extended edition easily solves this problem. Legendary playing from a legendary band, live Duane easily earns it 5 stars

Been a few times in my life where I've just ended up in a room with someone just jamming hard on a guitar with no end in sight, this album brought me back to those places. Plus, can't go wrong with a bit of blues. Solid 5/5, music so chill and freeflowing I could fall asleep, but I wouldn't want to.

Hot Blues JAMS!!!!!!

love the energy and musicianship combined

Guidando di notte attorno a Milano

spacca

This was a good one 😀

Perfect southern rock live album of 1971! It's The Allman Brothers Band's third album - artistic and commercial breakthrough and also the most successful of band's discography. A great mix of blues and jazz improvisations. Must be listened!

5 Gran álbum para comenzar un viaje entre la emoción y la tranquilidad. Además es un gran paso para empezar a escuchar canciones de larga duración con la emoción de inicio a fin.

Classic.

Вау. Импровизация, гитары, семидесятые - идеально.11/10

An absolute classic. I've listened to this 100x.

It's great!

Some good ass blues rock. The double drummers holds up super well live, too. The jams are really where this album soars.

Great 90 minutes of rock blues.

Un buen álbum de blues. Ganas de haber estado allí en vivo y en directo

It was a great listen, especially loved the last track - so much talent!

All time top 3 album for mw

My favorite live album

One of the best live albums I've heard. Good ol sourthern blues.

Exceptional.

Old time blues-rock. Espectacular.

These guys hold a solo longer than carbonite, and they work better in the songs than normal dabblers. Really good

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.

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

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

Classic southern rock. Great album

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

improvisationS MANEIRO

это ж классика блюза и слайд-гитары!

Jazz, blues e rock. Perfeito

top notch

Excellent album. Please play albums like this

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

Сначала вроде грустный блюз. Но потом как пошли в прогрессив. Не слышал их раньше. Однозначно буду слушать ещё

My brother and dad have been trying to get me into the Allman Brothers for forever, and I just never cared to listen. But holy cow, they should've strapped me down and forced me to listen to this show, it was incredible. Great jams.

I appreciate the band’s insistence that they are not a jam band but rather a “band that jams,” which is a wholly arbitrary bullshit distinction that still provides cover to smug pricks like myself who like this album but would rather drink bleach than listen to Phish. Fun fact, before idiots yelled “free bird” at concerts, they yelled “whipping post”

Favorite Track: Stormy Monday

Fun! Got a little bored at the end but overall was good.

fun funky

fantastic live performance and amazing riffs.

ok from the first couple tracks i was a little concerned that this might be 70 minutes of just perfectly ok blues but it really picked up towards the middle. "you don't love me" won me over and "in memory of elizabeth reed" is incredibly good, with a sound that feels way more modern than it is somehow. might be the breakbeat and organs? then "whipping post" rounds it all out with some fun time signatures, great guitar work and.... hold up, is that frère jacques???? why the fuck not man. awesome. along with the recording quality being astoundingly good for an early 70s live performance, this album is really solid all round. it's just a shame it takes so long to wind up.

As a fan of live albums and bands that jam this record really does it for me. My favorite parts of this record is where the blues shifts more into Jazz and the guitar work has a bit of ethereal tone to it. I do feel like some of the songs don’t do enough to warrant how much they jam on it but it’s definitely an album I’ll keep going back to. Fav tracks: statesboro blues, stormy Monday, in memory of Elizabeth Reed, and whipping post

I’ve never been much of a jam band guy, but this was really good. I thought the first half of the album was far better than the second half, but still really good overall

i love a jam! might’ve not enjoyed this as much if i was actively aware i was listening to a 20 min song? but i had it on in the background so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ also great quality for it being live, i usually hate that, clearly pivotal for the jam scene

Crazy good jams in the second half, where the jazziness superposes the bluesiness. "In the memory of Elizabeth Reed" brings Latin influences, "Whipping Post" is an extraordinary 23-minute journey. Guitar skills are off the scale, as well as the telepathic band chemistry. Also, two drum sets? Nice! Problem is, I'm not sold on the first half. The ordinary blues numbers are neat, but nothing more. And "You Don't Love Me" has a cool riff, but the soloing here overstays its welcome. All in all, still very cool. Would recommend, and will dig into the discography of these guys. 3.5/5 - strong

Pretty sweet Blues Jam session of a live album. Standouts are Stormy Monday, start of You Don’t Love Me, Hot ‘Lanta, Elizabeth Reed and Whipping Post.

Noodle blues

Statesboro Blues - 3.5/5 Done Somebody Wrong - 3.5/5 Stormy Monday - 3.5/5 You Don't Love Me - 4/5 Hot 'Lanta - 3.5/5 In Memory of Elizabeth Reed - 4/5 Whipping Post - 4.5/5 I knew when I only saw 7 tracks that were over an hour long that these guys could jam. But Whipping Post alone makes it worth it. I'm normally mixed on southern rock and blues rock in general, but they add a bit of jazzy flare that makes it worth listening to. Overall: 4/5 Favorites: Whipping Post

Really enjoyable live album. Allmans have always been good.

I liked this album, only two downsides….i couldn’t find the studio version if there even is one, just the live so the audience was kinda annoying to hear clapping wise, and second some lengths of the songs were tooo long, 19 minutes for one song is a hefty stretch. But the music was superb, I definitely will be re-listening to a few of them on repeat

A bit too jammy but so good

Despite not being super into blues or southern rock up until this point, I can still appreciate that this is a great live album and some of the best in this genre that I’ve heard. These are musicians at the top of their game, in their element, jamming to their heart’s content months before tragedy would fall upon the band. Even if some of the tracks drag a bit they’re engaging enough to generally be worth the time. This is a great representation of an iconic live album and it’s well-loved for good reason. I could see this being a band who’s music I explore more as their sound is more interesting in this space than most, to me. The tracks here, at least, are quite an adventure. 1 listen Favorite Track: Whipping Post

Having never listened to Allman Bros before (though I've known of them for ages), I'm curious if they have other albums on the list. Eat A Peach, maybe? And if so, how does their studio work measure up to the live album. They seem like a band that's best live. 3 1/2 stars

Probably the closest any album has got to me understanding the “jam band” appeal, “Elizabeth read” was great, as was the rest of it tbf. Must be the first live album on this list not recorded in Newcastle lol

A really solidly good live album with meandering guitar solos and gravelly vocals

I feel that this would be great to experience live. As an album it's okay for a single run through, but I don't think I would go out of my way to listen to it.

After the first two tracks I’m thinking, “ok it’s pretty good for the blues…” then Stormy Monday, they perform it pretty well and I’m glad for a more dynamic approach to the blues. Then they just fucking depart for the next four songs and I learn for the first time in my life that Allman Bros can rip some jams. They also can make some real interesting arrangments. And they play their asses off, so exciting in a live album. But I’m left feeling kinda stuck between blues, jam band, and jazzy stuff. And it’s not that bad, but something feels a bit lacking in unification that I seek in a great front to back album. So, 4 stars instead of 5 even though it kinda hurts to do that to the amazing performances here…

I liked the jam songs

i love the grove

Don’t judge this until it really kicks in. The first few are just a warm up, then Duane Allman comes alive.

When it started I thought it's not my cup of tea but it comes into its own on the longer tracks. I hope this doesn't mean I like "jam bands" now.

I remember being blown away by this on my very first listen, but every time that I've tried to return to it since then I have been less impressed. Live albums don't end up in my rotation too often unless the specific performances are changing the structure of the music. Definitely an awesome performance here, but I'll probably stick to the studio versions of the band's best tracks.

One of the best: 1. Blues albums 2. Live albums 3. Southern rock albums of all time! "You Don't Love Me" is not interesting enough to be 19 minutes. That's the only thing preventing this from being a 5.

Ok, so i really like blues music and I went through this album and while I like it, it's a live album. and I dunno, I think you have to be AT the concert for it to really hit with me. There are very very few live albums I like. This one is good. I'd give it a solid 3.75 out of 5 stars, but I'll never let any of these come close to my shuffles or every day listening. Duane Allman is just out of control on this, and Dickey Betts compliments him perfectly. Love the Allman Brothers Band!

Damnnnnn…..these guys got major SOUL!! This would’ve been an easy 5 for me if the songs weren’t so long. I’m sorry, but 20 minutes is too long. But their musicianship? Perfect. I’m jealous of everyone who got to see them perform live in the 70s. This stuff is gold.

Wow, these are great musicians who clearly mastered their craft. And I loved it! Great solos/ jams that went on forever, but didn’t overstay their welcome.

Ever listen to blues? Ever listen to blues... high

Starts off bluesy, dabbles in psych rock by the end. Great guitar, loved the baseline at points. Accidentally listened side 1, 4, 2, 3. Very jam band, hearing some Goose. Santana and them played together at one point? Makes sense.

1 hour and 18 minutes of pure guitar play heaven

Southern rock/jazz/blues! Let's go. Fuck I love me some good blues riffs! Damn the Stormy Monday intro is so smooth! Yeah man, this song is so bad ass! Cant help but start dancing a bit to You Don't Love Me. Fuck man, I need to get us an electric guitar!

Did not expect a jam band on this one. What a treat. Also didn't expect so much blues to be in this one rather than a folky sound. Just guys being dudes on this one, probably high as the sky

These guys can jam, there’s no doubt. It’s no Sweet Melissa though. I’ll give them a five for skill and execution minus one because it’s not my jam.

Fun

sehr bluesig, sehr gut gespielt!

I was not familiar with your game allman bros. This was a great listen. Had some long drwan out groovey jams. Little more bluesy than a dead record (at least to me). Saved a handful of tracks from this album. Going to be coming back to this forsure

First off I’ll say I’m surprised none of their studio projects made the list (but someone like Morrissey has three solo albums🤔). But this is a classic jam band live album of some blue eyed southern soul. The Allman Bros were one of the first classic rock bands I got into; the slide guitar by Duane and Gregg’s vocals really hooked me. Sure this album is far from polished, as well as on the longer side (mountain jam alone is a half hour), but I have so much nostalgia listening to this which in my opinion is one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. Plus, this is better than majority of the blues coming out of England at the time. Still too long, raw and too much jamming to give it 5, but 4 stars here is perfect.

Made me wanna drink a cold sixer by the river

Great background music for working. Great musicianship and especially enjoyed two drummers

Wow. Though as Julia pointed out - for those of us who don't listen to The Blues very often, it's hard to distinguish different artists. So maybe that's a 'wow' for The Blues.

Im liking this so much more than expected. Storm on Monday is great

Dit is een blues album die ik meer kan waarderen dan eerdere blues items. Als je er eenmaal in zit werkt hij lekker. Soort trance weer. Het gaat bij dit album echt om de muzikanten en wat ze kunnen in plaats van het collectieve nummer. Ik kan het wel waarderen je hoort plezier in het maken van muziek. Ik vind vooral de lange nummers met weinig zang leuk. In memory of elizabeth reed is echt fantastisch. Ik word er wel heel blij van. Tikt bijna de 5 wel aan denk ik. Ik vind het wel een van de leukste blues achtige albums tot nu toe.

Classic rock/blues jams. It’s legendary, it’s lengthy and it’s live

As a drummer I’m not sure how I felt about the two drummers thing. I found it a bit distracting. I thought there fusion part of the show was more interesting than the blues part. But maybe I’m just a bit over blues? Definitely a great album!

Shook a lot of ass to this

Sometimes I’d come up for air and be like “they’re still going?” or “another false finish before we hit the fourth stage of the jam without ending the song?”, but ultimately it’s an album you’re just supposed to swim in so you gotta get past coming up for air and dive back into the pool of extended blues rock improvisation and jamming and soak it in. Band’s great, production’s really clean for a live album, just gotta get 76 minutes of time free to chill.

Didn't know what to expect but this was a delightful listen. It's more instrumental and jamming, reminds me of those impromptu jazz sessions. It's a good album to put on as background noise, has some groovy stuff there. I enjoyed it to my surprise. Didn't bother with the deluxe version though for the standard edition of the album is quite long on its own despite having 7 tracks.

Another band I barely knew anything about before. At first it just sounded like a standard blues rock band. After a few tracks I thought I knew what made their sound distinct and that’s when I got hit with the first long jamming track. I never really got into jam bands and now I can see why. There were a lot of great sections in those 20 minute tracks. But after about 7 minutes I’m ready to move on. Toward the end of “Whipping Post” they do a riff of “London Bridge is Falling Down” and that’s where I knew they were messing with us. I now appreciate guitar solos much more. They can accomplish the same improvisational showcase without overstaying their welcome. Sometimes leas is more. But I have to comment on this coincidence and contrast: the album I got right before this also features blues rock tracks and released in the same year. But it was so soulless and selfish and bland compared to this one. So while this sort of “director’s cut” version of this band’s music isn’t for me, I at least can say it’s still high quality stuff.

So much more credible than I first thought. I must admit I judged this hard at first. Seemed like another set of ordinary white dudes from the 60s (okay early 70s) appropriating the blues and not really adding anything interesting. I love the scale though. Despite it being quite locked into that electric blues style, there is a lot of cool musicianship and genuinely expressive ideas.

Great guitar riffs and groove. Didn't notice a "boring/uninterested" part. Would listen again

Great vibes. My kind of music, just super cool and fun

groovy, i like it

3 + 1 for meeting notability guidelines.

Very groovy, this was a good one

Honestly I really fucked with this album. I enjoyed the live-ness of the album and just listening to the instruments. Not sure if they're jazz or rock but it was fun. Why they started playing Joy to the World at the end of their first 20 min song idk. Last couple of songs were really boring and long but not bad. 4/5

Who doesnt like the blues?

Ах.. Снова эти южане. Ну не нраится мне, ну вот не знаю. Что CCR слушал что теперь небезызвестных The Allman Brothers Band. Выдающийся инструментал, балдёжный блюз, гармошка, ну красота прям. Но этот вокал, эта манера исполнения... Даже хз как описать. Не быть мне фанатом южного рокешника похоже. За крутой инструментал, уважение к группе и безусловный шедевр Whipping Post - поставлю 4.

Excellent musicianship redefining what blues can sound like

This is a supreme jam style live album. Definitely one of the best I’ve heard and technically it’s excellent. It ebbs and flows but mostly at a high tempo. It’s not really my style as I prefer tighter compositions or blues style guitar that has more slow, emotive and powerful sections for emphasis where this is rarely getting below 3rd or 4th gear. But it’s hard to deny the talent on show and it would have been an epic live performance to sit in on. Probably a high 3 on enjoyment alone but it feels like a significant recording and technically there’s a lot to like, so felt the 4 was deserved.

This is great example of when a live album really works. I'd not listened to The AB before but I immediately wished I was at one of these gigs. Listening to a band play their songs and then just have a general blues jam is live music at its best. It was all well executed, if fairly generic, blues rock. In parts, the album is a bit rambling through the extended improv sections but I was listening on a long drive and could just surrender to it with any repetition feeling appropriate. Good find.

Blues Hammer from Ghost World without being frat boys.

A this was a great live album. It’s all they’re familiar hits some 25 minutes longer than you would normally hear them but awesome to listen to. I won’t say too much more than that.

Great jams

Whipping post är en av de bästa låtarna jag vet. I den här liveversionen är den magisk. Väldigt bra live-album överlag måste jag säga. Det är oändligt med girarrsolon men det funkar för att Duane Allman är så vansinnigt skicklig (galet att han dör bara några månader senare). Fruktansvärt bra! Början av You Don't Love Me är också magisk, sedan går den lite vilse i alla solon. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, också mycket bra. Gillar detta mycket!!

Having never listened to the Allman brothers before, I found this album quite enjoyable. Some of the tunes are pretty funky, there's a lot of blues going on. Is it an album to listen to before you die? Probably not, but still worth a lesson

Phenomenal live album. It really showcases the band at its finest while jamming to some of their best tunes. It's great background listening.

I have to be in the right mood for jam band stuff, and I was in that right mood for this album.

good live album, perfect for locking into work

AWESOME. Classic Blues Rock at its finest.

So far my favourite rock album. The instrumentals are beautiful, especially the guitar riffs. Beautifully produced album. Some of the best guitar solos I have heard, especially in the song You don't love me. This album made me realise that sometimes you don't even need vocals, instruments can sing too, case in point Hot Lanta. Favourite song in the album - Whipping Post No. of favourited songs - 4/7 Rating - 4/5

lot's of great guitar solo's

I really enjoyed it. Much more than I expected

What a sexy live band.

Nothing has changed in that I don't prefer live albums, but this one was pretty good. They really jam out on this. There were certainly parts where it dragged on a little long, but those guys were having fun up there.

Incredible rock from a band who just seem to know where each other is going at any given moment.

4/5 Best Song: In Memory of Elizabeth Reed Worst Song: Stormy Monday Weirdest Song: You Don't Love Me Honorable Mention: Whipping Post Epic live album from Allman Brothers. Great guitar solos and instrumentation throughout. Starts a little slow but really kicks off at You Don't Love Me and only gets better from there.

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! Cool vibes, wel executed and interesting enough compositions

I don't think I would pick it on my own to listen to, but goddamn if this wasn't fucking great.

I like driving rock and roll with electric guitars, and I also like long dynamic jazz pieces that are alternately mesmerizing and arresting, so this definitely works for me. 4/5. Sure, this probably fits on a hugely long list of must listen music. Maybe on mine.

Nice album. Lot of good moments.

y se quejaban porque taylor tiene una canción de 10 minutos

This is an absurd amount of noodling, and most times I find that really annoying. This was not one of those times. Wish I'd been invited to this party.

solowki sa mega smieszne, i tez zajebista jakosc produkcji jak na to ze na zywo nagrywane i w 1971 r.

Legends. Masters. Whatever you want to label this band they are rock, blues, messiahs. So many people owe so much to bands like this. This is a live album which normally makes me cringe, but this one works

Always enjoyed this one!

I got on board the ABB train late in life, and even well after loving the Dead and other jam bands for a couple decades or more. But this album is just an excellent summary of all that there is to love about ABB. Strong 4+, maybe a 5.

The band is so cool but the album 'at fillmore east' is not the best album to them. Theres a album named where it all negins is better :^)

Despite the long jams it was still enjoyable.

Awesome !!!

great live album with fun improv

Second day in a row of live albums from Fillmore (had quicksilver messenger service yesterday). Both are testaments to the power and vitality of live rock music of the period. They capture something the studio albums never can: the interplay and groove of a tight group of musicians. Live at Fillmore starts out kinda lame with the old school blues of ”statesboro blues”. But the album really picks up steam and ”Hot ’Lanta” and ”In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” are two absolute stunners. Tight, groovy, explosive aural beauty.

folk rock is such a fun genre I quite enjoyed ‘Stateboro Blues’ ‘Stormy Monday’ is such a good love rendition but my favourite of the Live At Fillmore pieces were ‘Done Somebody Wrong’ and ‘Whipping Post’. This love album further solidified my interest in Blues rock and folk. Rating: 4/5 GEMV (10.05.2026)

Pretty good live album, especially the blues material. Love to hear a great band jamming!

A first live album on this journey- which I’m sure if you were at the concert was a hell of an evening. I’m not entirely sure what I’ve listened to though- rock, blues, jazz, country? I guess a mixture of all 4. Vocally I wasn’t overly won over however the music itself never felt repetitive and despite a couple of the tracks been loooong.. it flowed well and the ‘jamming’ sessions were warmly recieved by my ears. Unfortunately however due to the vocals not being to my taste and the fact I actually wasn’t in the room for the concert I wasn’t fully sold on the album. For that I’m going to give it an overall 8/10 Best song- ‘in memories of Elizabeth Reed’ Worst track- ‘done somebody wrong’
