Not a big blues guys but it wasn't too bad.
chill music
I am NOT listening to a song called whipping post 😭✌🏾
The reviews for this one really piss me off. This album is incredible. Sorry it’s not Sonic Youth, you pretentious twatwaffles.
meh
Muy buen album, una mezcla de Blues con rock sureño. Gran banda
Álbum en vivo. Estilo rock/blues. La música en sí es buena, podría ser algo que suene en la casa de mi papá tranquilamente. Pero en sí, se me hace muy largo (temas de 18 min y más) y bastante repetitivo. Not my kind of music.
Holy moly. Really really good. This is peak Allman Brothers.
Pas aimé
In my opinion the Fillmore East is a forgotten NY venue that was very important to not just to a scene but also the history of music! There some incredible Live from the Fillmore East recordings from some amazing artist/groups that's available out there & I do mean incredible. But in my book this is the nest one!! The original members in absolute amazing form. On fire & running on all cylinders! Just get it, smoke one & ride baby ride!
Not really my thing, but very well done. I could see enjoying this live.
Da Blooz. Good rocking blues guys.
Je pense pas que je réécouterai mais les solos de guitare à la Santana sont très stylés !! Pour une fois le format live est 100% justifié
Too noodlely by the end
Pretty generic 'white guy discovers the blues, gets extremely technically proficient but never learns why the blues is great' album. Spends approximately four hours noodling mindlessly. I get they're capable and that some people like jam bands (and I actually like long rock songs), but this is so painfully boring
It's the Alman Brothers, what is there to say, great stuff!
they did better than i was assuming. the bar was unfortunately low
This was a really solid album
Feels really harsh giving this less than four because that version of Statesboro Blues is a near perfect blues song, but by the last two songs I was fed up and no longer willing to tolerate their long-winded guitar indulgences.
It's OK. Too long, not my favourite style of music, but not actually bad.
Repetitious
Without the weekend gap probably would have been a 4. Enjoyed it though
It was decent live album. I was not blown away by it.
It was very enjoyable and put me in a jolly mood
That was pretty baller. I'm a sucker for any sort of album that just has a bunch of jazzy/bluesy noodling on it and this album was almost entirely that. Yeah it's really long, but I didn't really notice it dragging much (which is rare for me). Really loved this. Surprised that I love it as much as I do tbh.
it does ramble a bit too long, but still a good listen on a spring southern day.
I agree with other reviewers. There's just nothing compelling about this album.
Not for me.
That's a pretty good live show dude. Obviously the Allman Brothers are gonna rip live, it's just nice to get confirmation of it.
Even though it is a live album at least it has clarity of a studio album. Still kind of just a really long jam session with a couple “covers” I am not familiar with the band but they kept saying this is someone else's song and then proceeded to play a 20 minute guitar solo. 5/10
Really enjoyed this.
3/1001 At Filmore East - The Allman Brothers Band (1971) Who knew a live album could be this good? I didn't want In Memory of Elizabeth Reed or Whipping Post to end, which says a lot for such long tracks. A live album that seems to capture a band at their best. Probably my favourite blues rock or blues rock-adjacent album to date. ★★★★½
Better than The Cashew Sisters.
This was better than I expected. I like a lot of classic rock bands but not a fan of the more overtly bluesy ones. It certainly felt like it was a bit more accessible but I still can't get on board with songs of 23 mins though.
Incredibly clean mix, especially for a live recording, and from 1971 at that! Lacking a little bit of low end, but every instrument and vocal is very clear. At times it's hard to believe it's a live recording but then the audience chimes in. Absolutely peak musicianship in "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" too. Overall quite a few songs lack structure and devolve into noodling, but it’s eminently listenable noodling by supremely talented artists.
A solid live album. I hadn't really heard much of them before but I enjoyed this. It was perhaps a bit too long given a lot of it started to sound the same, but I enjoyed it nonetheless
Was not in the mood for an hour of noodling guitars and boring beats. Sure, they're skilled but come on man, 20 minutes of just some repetitive backing track with a whiny guitar? 'Stormy Weather' was nice since it wasn't so in-your-face but the rest of the album I had to skip through because fuck that man. 1.5/5
This was not fun to get through. Only 8 songs on the album and three of them over 15 minutes is not great. "Statesboro Blues" and "Hot'Lanta" were fine
Mindless jam rock. I enjoyed it though
S tier guitar work. RIP Duane Allman
Makes me want to buy a motorcycle
Its jammy southern rock blues. Nothing more, nothing less.
Pretty cool guitar but honestly, a 20 minute song just isn't my jam.
There were some ok tracks on here but mostly this was just BORING. Like 20 minutes of guitar noodling boring. Who would willingly pay to listen to this, let alone go see it live?
Uff, excelente álbum en vivo. Un blues hermoso, unos músicos excelentes. Flasheas. 1 hr 18 min que se pasan disfrutando 100%. Me encantó. 7/10
I don't even have to listen to it twice. Shit is already getting top marks from the first try. Incredible record right out the gates. I'm already a fan of bands like the Allmans (Phish, hello?), so this absolutely hits that niche. The tragic deaths of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley not long after this album in the years after really suck because well, MANNN they can play. They can all play! Very well, very precisely! Sometimes I wonder If during a jam when Duane and Dickey Betts harmonize, is it planned or do they just know the guitar so well for them to do that? Crazy, crazy good like the Pop Tarts slogan. Crazy good like the cheese grits at the dining hall. The fact that Whipping Post is the last song (and the best) after all the other songs made me re-think just how good this record is. This was my first true go-around with it and what a show that was. Absolutely study these guys and take everything they present to heart. This is a certified hood classic (10/10, 5/5 on this scale)
A damn fine blues rock live album, especially when they do the harmonised guitars.
The name Allman uttered around guitar players will illicit some sort of reaction. A lot of people recognize Gregg and Duane Allman as two of guitar's greatest players with Duane really leading the pack. A massive what-if exists considering how young Duane died. He was already a pro at slide guitar and masted blues riffs. [[At Fillmore East]] put them on the national map, really pushing their sound out to the masses. It is 6 hours of non-stop blues rock packed with great slide riffs and catchy songs.
Really not bad I’d listen again
Killer blues. Acid rock. Like this. Didn’t realize the San Francisco connection. Interesting.
As a guitarist, I’ve always felt like I ought to love the Allman Brothers… but this endless faffing about over standard blues patterns does little to maintain my interest. At times, it seemed like it would never end. Some say they’re still playing “Whipping Post” to this day.
More 70s pub rock. I quite enjoyed You Don't Love Me, but thought they'd strung it out a bit after it had come to a natural finish. Looked at the app and it still had 12 minutes of aimless noodling to go on that song alone. Just STOP. Would have been bearable if it hadn't been a double album made up of only 7 songs stretched out for ever. I feel like I deserve a medal or something for making it through.
Meh ⭐⭐⭐
A pretty stellar live performance of southern rock jamming!
I like the band. The music is great. Love me some blues and bluesy rock. That being said this was just way too long. Nobody needs a 22-minute track. Anything just becomes background at that length. 3/5 only because I do still really like the music, even if it’s too long to really engage with.
usually not a huge fan of live albums but this was good. just too long for my liking but the tracks were noice
Crazy. Starts out as quite an enjoyable live blues album but then descends into a mad guitar solo journey of discovery.
I was not expecting to like this as much as I did. This isn't the style of music I usually gravitate towards, but the songs are energetic and the jams don't feel overly long and aimless. The skill of these musicians is evident throughout the album, and there are so many amazing riffs and licks in here. Wish I had this much talent. Favorites: Statesboro Blues, Done Somebody Wrong, You Don't Love Me, Whipping Post
I've said this before and I'll say it again. The OG Allman Bros. lineup is one of the few bands that can lay serious claim to being the best band of all time. Never could get into jam band stuff but the Allmans are the exception. RIP Duane, your fingers could bring the voice of God out of the guitar.
Overall really good just kind of repetitive, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed was really good. I'd go with a 4 on this album, it was a bit too long and guitar-noodly but good.
If you like blues rock and/or like extended guitar solos it would be hard to not love this album. I don't necessarily love blues rock, but I do like extended guitar solos. This album is fantastic. 5 stars.
EXCEPTIONNEL meilleur album rock/blues ever ? Fantastique du début à la fin autant les titres chantés que les instrumentaux c'est une merveille
pointless. jamais que vão me ver elogiando white man blues. 0/5.
Eu queria mt dar pelo menos 3 estrelas, é um som que me ganhou no inicio e todas as faixas individualmente são interessantes. Porem se escuta o album todo, é dificil saber a diferença entre as faixas, parecem ser a mesma sendo repetida. O fato de ser live tb nao ajuda a nota. 2.5/5
If you ever are in the mood for some very jammy 70s rock with a ton of solos from each of the different instruments then look no further than the Allman Brothers Band’s At The Fillmore East. This live project takes place at The Fillmore East in Manhattan on March 13th, 1971. While this live project is only 7 songs long it clocks in at a stunning 1 hour and 18 minutes, leaving a lot of room for the band to mess around and wow you with their tightly knit artistry. If you want less vocals and more of those sweet guitar sounds then this will surely be the project for you, personally I like a good balance of both and I found that this album really didn't have a lot of vocals which was a bit disappointing to myself. I don't have a lot to say here other than it was a pretty enjoyable live album, a lot different from what I'd usually turn on but in a really refreshing way. All I need to do now is get around to this band's studio work so I can understand this release a lot better.
Solid
Such a soulful vocalist, such a wonderful B3 player, trend setting guitar riffs, songs that have become southern rock classics.
Jam bands with 20 minute tracks are not it.
está bien, nada del otro mundo
Great in spurts, but forgettable other times.
It reminds me of dad somehow
Talented, but live rock albums just aren’t my thing, and going on 1 ½ hours didn’t help this one. I need to either have attended or watched a video of the concert. Just listening to an album without seeing it first never really does it for me. 2.25 / 5
Great music
I’m partial because I’m from the South but I love Allman Brothers, probably my favorite jam band. This album would be great if only whipping post was on it.
4/10
I usually don't like live recordings. There are a few exceptions. This isn't one of them. The music was pretty good and worth listening to again. The recording quality is mediocre. If I'd been at the concert, it might have been great. As it was, it was just average and a bit too long. 3/5
Really cool to draw while youre listening to it. I loved it
Was expecting this to be a bit of a slog, seeing as how it is mostly some long jams, but The Allman Brothers are so talented that it actually seems a bit too short. That time flew by as I was amazed by how great the band sounded, every solo was killer!
Esse disco é uma aula de performance ao vivo!
Southern rock at it's finest.
Guitar is so good
Not a bad live album
Opening with Statesboro Blues, a tight roadhouse burner with amazing slide guitar work, is a great beginning. I'm not too high on jam bands, but that performance is badass and it doesn't overstay its welcome. Unfortunately the next tracks revert to southern blues rock renditions and lose the momentum and charm sometimes with slightly corny and square arrangements and solos. Extended blues jams pad the songs out to 8, 13, 19 and 23 minutes so that even though there are only 7 songs, it had to be released as a double album. It's decent background music but slightly head-scratchingly soulless, almost like the Grateful Dead, but with less aimlessness.
A live album, sounds like the band had a great time, me not so much.
Not bad background music for a run.
Rockin'!
(5/7) I l liked the jams more than I thought I would
I hate jam bands. There’s two minute songs on here that last for twenty.
Dober
Holy shit this album is long. 50 minutes for an album sometimes feels like a chore to sit through, but 78 minutes is just straight torture. The music is pretty good, it really is, but if a song is 20+ minutes and I'm constantly waiting to see if it's close to ending, then it's not something I'm EVER going to even consider listening to again. I will not rate this album a one star only because I know there's going to be something later in this entire experience that I'll absolutely despise, and I don't think a one star rating would be very fair.
Background music at best. Can’t be arsed writing anything about it
The Allman Brothers are great, big big fan of Whipping Post personally. Usually I don't care for live albums, given the noise of the audience sometimes taking away from the art itself, but this was actually wonderful. Short but sweet.
Anything becomes psychedelic if you just jam long enough.
In memory of elizabeth reed and you dont love me 👌
ZZZZZZZZZZZZ the same song played for 1 hour 18 minutes ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Enjoyed the blues but not true stand outs
Instrumental Forgettable 2/5
4/10 - I am not a jam band guy. I like more structure and less length to my albums and songs. I’m sure these guys are very technically talented, but it did not hold my interest.
Not a huge fan of this kind of jam band music. It's not offensive but it's not something I would want to listen to again. 4/10
Not bad music by any means, they have a pretty good blues sound going but it feels very unremarkable.
Found this a really enjoyable listen but not one I'd go back to - I think you absolutely have to be in the mood for jam band stuff, and some of it would be infuriating if not in the mood due to the sheer length of some of the solos etc.
Listened to this while on a road trip and had a good time vibing out to it. The perfect Sunday morning album and the perfect early afternoon dinner album. Sooooo good
It starts with nice blues music. Than it changes top Jazz. Thats the reason for 3 point.
Probably suffered from being a saturday album and from the line up of the week. Enjoyable listening but nothing stand out although one bit did make me say oo.
On Harry Styles release weekend? I have better things to be listening to. (I’m starting to think that live albums shouldn’t be included in this exercise 🤔)
I’m sorry but this was just too indulgent for me and I didn’t need to be hearing 19 minute tracks. Maybe also harsher on this one because THERE’S JUST BEEN TOO MUCH THIS WEEK I’ve spent probably 4 hours listening to live albums from the 70s that I didn’t enjoy Also a confession that I skipped four minutes out of the middle of the last song but don’t think I missed much
These guys could play their instruments well and they certainly ‘jammed’ but my life is no better for having heard this.
Hätte ne 4 sein können aber es zieht sich dann doch sehr 3/5
Great album! Super clean, very fun live recording.
Nobody did anything like these riffs as well. Classic rock and roll better than the best.
I got two consecutive live albums this week. I was initially put off by "At Filmore East"'s super-long tracks. It reminded me of The Grateful Dead's live album, which wasn't good. "At Filmore East", unlike my initial expectations, was actually alright. I hope I don't get another live album, I've already heard too many this week. 3 stars for "At Filmore East".
Ok
This was just ok
A decent start, but this soon got into noodling territory. I’m sure that air guitar wankers would enjoy it. Too long, too little impact.
The answer to the question "how many hours can I listen to blues" is yes, so there you go
I love The Allman Brothers but honestly some of it gets a bit self indulgent after a bit. I know it’s live and everyone wants that 10 minute guitar solo but when it takes you 80 minutes to play 7 songs I’m a bit bored by track 3.
7.5/10 Varias canciones con una alta duración pero bastantes digeribles, blues y rock como principal muestra del disco sumado a ser en vivo lo cual personalmente no me atrae al 100%. Recomendado
Blues, played skillfully and with a lot of energy. I like it!
A bit long but still a good album
An hour twenty of the Allmans cooking. Oh, to have been there…
There’s no reason this record should be preserved and honored. They’re not even a “band who jams.” This was unbearable after 10 minutes. Live albums shouldn’t be on this list anyway.
Rock on, gentlemen.
😀
I mean I have no problems with it, I do appreciate the long ass songs, but there’s nothing amazing, solid listen tho
Stilfull, laid-back blues rock. Dette er råkult. Imponerende at det hele er fra en live-innspilling. Sjeldent hørt instrumenter som lyder bedre. Når det er sagt, er jeg ikke verdens største fan av laaaange låter instrumentallåter. Andre halvdel taper meg derfor litt, selv om Whipping Post er en episk avslutning. Top 3: You Don’t Love Me, Stormy Monday, Stratesboro Blues
I didn’t mind it at first but then it went on… and on… and on.
Technically very good, and of all the blues I’ve heard, this is up there with some of the better albums, but I’ve said before that it has a low ceiling for me, and despite the jamming solos throughout this, I yearned for something more than a 1,4,5 12 bar chord progression. Just feeling like something you could her bands a ten a penny playing out on a main drag past a number of bars ans pubs and little to make it truly stand out from the crowd.
Everything you want in a live recording and more! Amazing dynamic performances, excellent recording quality, and the energy and vibe is palpable!
Meh, first song unreal! Lost interest after that
Yeah, not a shabby band live at all.
Good jams but gets a little old/boring after a while. Likes: Stormy Morning, You Don’t Love Me
LONGEST guitar solo song EVER, then more long assss songs
I didn't think that was ever going to end. Holy crap.
Well live albums are just greatest hits which seem like they don't even belong here, however with a jam band like this you need to hear them live, great fusion blues country rock that is CLEAN for live, some great guitar here, also a little meandering that kinda drug it down for me
As músicas são realmente ótimas!! um otimo album, apesar de ter musicas gigantes hahaha É um blues/jazz bem gostoso de ouvir
Rock but with blues and country sounds. Liked it
Very enjoyable rock music. Mostly instrumental, but still good tempo.
1. Okay, not really my kind of music. Okay, i'm so sorry but i'm bored. Yeah on the description it says it's just rock but I looked it up and it does have blues elements which are....................................not my thing unfortunately. I just cant listen to men sing absolutely incomprehensible lyrics with a 10 minute guitar solo after every verse. 2. I don't know what it is about the 70s but i've never really liked them, I don't know why. I mean it's not that I don't like the 70s but I just feel like the 70s were like the 60s but a little more mellow and like the 80s except a little less refined. I like some 70s music but not because it's from the decade, because I like the bands themselves, regardless of the decade, unlike 80s and 90s and even 50s music that has a specific sound that i've always liked, but I just hate men with long hair and moustaches growling. I'm so sorry. 3. Yeah no I hate this. And it's 8 minutes long. Oh my god the next song is 19 minutes long, im so sorry i cant do this. 4. Okay I decided to do it and ill be honest this is maybe one of the better songs that ive heard? But it's still not my thing. Why is this song 19 minutes long? Oh my god it's just guitar, it's just 19 minutes of electric guitar. Jesus Christ. God forgive me ONCE AGAIN, but absolutely not.
Está bueno, nada del otro mundo
No one, and I do mean no one, has any reason to turn a 3 minute song into a 21 minute song. Ever.
Anyone that says they enjoyed this was pretending, I love some of their other stuff but this was just endless noisy blues purgatory
A very fun jam album that sounds so crisp, clear and bright. Just the right amount of jam where it remains enjoyably engaging and doesn't become too self-indulgent. It's a really good live album too - nice and warm with the right amount of crowd noise and atmosphere to make it feel alive but without interrupting. The guitar solos and riffs are so good; a real old-school Americana Rock vibe with bits of country and honky-tonk shining through.
Good blues rock with some great guitar work. Don’t know that I’m here for 20 minute guitar solos, but I bet if you were in the room you would have lost your mind.
I have a suspicion I will not like this. "Extended jams". Yup. More white blues covers that never end yet never get interesting. 2.5 rounded down Heard before? No Owned: No 48/214 (22%) Will I get: No
para nada mi estilo, me gusta como suena en sí la grabación y las guitarras pero la voz del chabon me aburre siento q es un disco q si o si te compras el vinilo y fantasmeas que escuchas esto pero ni bola me dieron muchas ganas de sacarlo entonces lo escuchaba mientras leía twitter not gonna lie
Didn't know what to expect, snuck a look at Wikipedia, okay maybe I know blues rock / "Southern rock". First two tracks were very disappointing, very meh. Track 3 (Stormy Monday) by contrast was very enjoyable and satisfying - slow blues with great jazz feels, rocking guitar solo working well with tight band, soul feel in the vocals, an excellent package. Tracks 4-5 not so memorable. Tracks 6 and 7, the extended jams, were high points, particularly guitar solo work in In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. So there is some great stuff here, that I would play again, but I would not want to have to sit through first two tracks again. So I won't say the album as a whole is Good, I'll say it's Not Bad, 6/10.
Blues band with lots of heavy guitar solos .barely barable
Absolutely amazing. I heard of this album before but never heard it played through. Incredible.
Soft Rock, ok
Great live album! A 3.8
Pretty epic and long, very jammy, lots of rock n roll, 20 minute songs are bonkers
Not the best Allman's album, but a better live album than other band's have.
Bullshit live album blues jam band crap by white people (plus a black drummer!) The AllWhite Brothers solidified my stance that talent is fucking overrated as a measure for greatness. Supreme Clientele by Ghostface Killah - 3.5 stars.
People paid money to watch these guys play the same riff over and over. I bet the Allwoman Sisters Band would be less annoying
Love it. Live version is the best
Classic white man blues
i kinda liked it, it was groovy good to study!
thought this album was short and sweet HOW WRONG I WAS when every track was like 8 minutes. it is just a standard blues album nothing stands out to me and other people have done it better. wont be revisiting. found it boring
Muy bueno. Blues con tintes de rock psicodélico y en su mayoría es instrumental. Apenas pa poner de fondo mientras se trabaja.
Legendary.
These guys knew how to jam. Great album
Solid blues
I got it a little more than other Jam Bands I've listened to, and there are some great moments, but it's just background noise for a lot of it. Favorite Song: You Don't Love Me, The Whipping Post
Not bad
American boomer rock. Hard to say anything else about it.
Man, I don't have time for jam rock
Not really for me. I get the skills but just sounded like one long jam session.
I appreciate the guitar playing and musicianship, but the overall sound feels very rooted in the Southern rock style—slow tempos, long jams, and organ-heavy grooves. Listening to it all the way through made me realize that I’m not as drawn to sustained, slow-burning intensity as I am to music with more forward momentum and clear structure. In that sense, even if the album isn’t fully to my taste, it helped clarify what I tend to respond to in music.
There are many reasons why this record is always ranked in the top few live records of all time. "Whipping Post", all 22+ minutes of it (it took up a full side on the original double-vinyl), "You Don't Love Me" and most especially "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" are a big part of that reason. Of particular note is the version of “Drunken Hearted Boy" with Elvin Bishop from the expanded edition. It's really no wonder that a jam band with deep roots in the blues and jazz would put out a phenomenal live record. Blues is a live medium and jamming is one reason why. Coupled with the level of talent in this band and that they were still young and hungry and the result is At Fillmore East.
I mean, "Elizabeth Reed" and "Whipping Post" are worth five stars on their own.
Them kats were cookn. Some great blues. Essential? Nah. But still really good music
Holy shit. This was a long one, understandably as a live album. One I had to hear? Halfway though the second to last song I was like "I'm done". The most this album showed me is that they can really jam and they sound really good live. I enjoy the hits, not much I would do outside of this album.
Jamming! I really enjoyed this. A great record to have on and just vibe to while working or writing or playing games with friends.
At times the guitar can be overbearing and even slightly obnoxious but there’s real power to it. I respect that it actually is given so much room to breathe. Additionally, the accompanying instrumentation helps provide so much support surrounding it. There’s a lot of guitar focused development and I can only describe it as fulfilling. You can feel all of the creativity and sense of joy in creating something moving. Simply an incredible piece of art. Faves: You Don’t Love Me, Done Somebody Wrong, ‘Hot Lanta, Statesboro Blues, In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, Stormy Monday
They've got the blues. Now I have.
muito bom, instrumental surreal
Great atmosphere, makes you want to go to a concert. Very energizing and well played.
Þessi er ekki að reyna vera neitt annað en hún er. Er það gott? Jújú, alveg í lagi, ég fer a.m.k. ekki að setja tvist á hana. En 80 mínútur í röð eru fullmikið af því góða. Ég myndi frekar vilja hlusta á annars konar tónlist og held því að ég setji hana aldrei á fóninn aftur.
eh fine
OK, but not my kind of groove. ★★★
I appreciate the importance of the recording and the great playing but the long solos are self satisfying and the songwriting is generic (of its time)
It's the Allman Brothers, 5 stars of course
Not my kind of thing … too long and rambling
I really enjoyed this album
Good
3-3,5/5
оч кайфовый лайв блюзик
Quietly flowing music. An average of 11 minutes per song.
my issue with a jam album like this is that i feel like it's pointless to package into an album? i don't think i feel like this about live albums in general because i think different performances of a song can have a lot of artistic merit. an album like this though feels meandering and unfocused. it feels like background noise. to me the primary value as jamming for an audience is the experience of *feeling* live music in a way that you fundamentally cannot get while sitting at home. it's not even that any of this outright sounds bad to my ear and more that it feels like nothing.
Its a live double album with a song over 20 minutes long on it. Any good part of this is buried under the noodling and jam-session versions of songs that I'm sure sounded great live in person with the atmosphere, but sitting at home and just listening to feels like someone riffing for far too long. Its well recorded, and the structured parts do really work and sound great, I just think this being the live album actually hinders it so much then it helps.
tight, but closer to elevator music than to any kind of statement
now these guys are JAMMING and jamming and jamming for a long period of time
The guitars really carry this album haha. It’s a live album, which I don’t have a problem with, but for me personally the songs are maybe a little boring. Cool guitar skills, tho.
Takie do zagrania w tle
I discovered the Allman Brothers Band recently, and I thought they were just a great Southern Rock band. And now I come here and see a live album that's basically a compilation of Blues? I'm not complaining. This was fucking awesome! 5 stars.
sabroso
Pretty fun background music
I feared this was gonna be more shit kickin’ country. But much more bluesy. Good for me.
Very good musicians, some tracks were drawn out - not sure if this is because they were all performed live
Boring
Not another live album. And a double album nonetheless. First LP consists only of covers, while the second one bloats the studio version of a song (5 minutes) to a 22 minutes monster. Those are jam sessions. While I do like some improvs or extended solos, this is way to much. And definitely nothing I nead to hear before I die.
Loved it! Listened to it twice cover to cover.
As a drummer, I detest bands with two drummers. If you really want that sound, pipe your drummer through a chorus plugin or some shit. Sounds sloppy.
Great live album. Take a listen
The groundbreaking template. What turned out to be a brief era in terms of both the venue and this lineup of the band was thankfully captured for posterity. I just prefer the tighter songcraft of the following years.
Once again I'll say it... Live albums should not be in the list. It's great and all, but too much doodling and jamming.
Arguably the greatest live album ever recorded. Not a weak song on the album.
Great live album.
One of the great live albums. Superb musicianship.
Blues rock very skillfully played, but meandering to the point that it’s hard to focus. It faded into the background and seemed to go on for ages.
s'okay I guess
Impressive playing, but it all pretty much just blended into one long song after a while
I don't like blues rock, but this album wasn't that bad. Found one song that I really enjoyed, the rest was just a little bit boring.
Probably a good album hiding in here, but ended up being a bit meandering
I enjoyed this one. It was a long one however and tailed off a bit towards the end, however I did enjoy it so will give it a 4.
Started more exciting than it ended
Listens: 2, 3 Standout Tracks: You Don't Love Me, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed I was expecting this album from the Allman Brothers Band to be something like The Eagles or Journey or Steely Dan, but instead got something more akin to the Grateful Dead or Big Brother and the Holding Company, but with an extra strong Blues bend. Perhaps the fact that this is a live album at Fillmore East should have told me everything I need to know about what I was going to hear. Jam bands generally take me a bit to get into. There's often a lot of music to "digest". Some of the songs are 10+ minutes long, and the whole thing is just seven songs, but clocks in at over 1h15m. This is the kind of music you really need to focus on, not really focus in the same way you need to focus on complicated, cryptic or baroque lyrics, but rather focus on the individual components of the music. Guitar or drum solos. Where the music is straying, and how it "comes back to the song". Good headphones or a good sound system are required to take advantage of the nuances in the various instruments. I liked this. No complains, even with the length.
Ihan varmaan hyviä soittajia, olisi pitänyt olla paikalla kuulemassa, niin ehkä olisin tälle paremmin syttynyt. Musiikkilaji ei ole itselleni mieluisinta
#263/1001. To quote Stevie Ray Vaughan: "I might be white, but I ain't stupid". I ain't stupid enough to like white man's blues. All blues songs sound like they didn't wake up this morning.
The Allman Brothers are good, but this is a mid live album like the majority of the ones recorded in this era.
Ramblin' Men playing THE BLUES .... sigh ... 2/5
честно я старался прочувствовать эту атмосферу но мне не зашло(
This is the type of shit that will play while Stephen Seagal beats up a bunch of hicks in a bar -- but there's no Seagal nor barfight in this album, so it's boring and pointless.
Meh not for me
Well shiver me timbers… I really enjoyed this today. A long way from the strokes. The vocals sit perfectly on these songs. Unreal guitar work,something to be said for an electric guitar and blues music. The drumming is perfectly timed. I get it, it’s a live album, personally I’m not a live album fan, but as far as live albums go. Pretty great recordings. Just a really enjoyable experience all around. Urged me to look into their catalogue abit more.
Phenomenal , in every aspect The guitar work was sublime every little note was milked to fuck where you felt the tension rising between each solo segment , felt influences of Hendrix , , could see where Stevie ray Vaughan and lynryd Skynrd got their styles and playing from , The drumming had jazz , blues , funk thrown into the mix with two of them playing it was choreographed brilliantly in stormy Monday , the sections that the keys player was unisoning on with the guitars was elite And the bass playing was tight as a mouse’s earlobe what a player what an album not enough stars for this guess 5 will do !
Straight away I'm familiar with these guys a little and the late great Duane Allman amazing slide guitar player. Surprised to see this is a live album, sounding great as a live mix for 1971! And the band firing off at all cylinders showing their tightness and musicianship right away. Let's see how it develops. Second track amazing back and forth from the harmonica and guitar players. I think many people might find this dated but this kind of era of live band jamming all about the sound and musicianship right up my street They were in their 20s when this was recorded too, now that is impressive! In memory of Elizabeth reed fantastic guitar playing on that track! Whipping post too that classic guitar harmony, I think other famous guitar solos have used that lick in homage to Duane allman, who died not too long after the recording of the album sadly!
I was surprised by this! This album had a lot of things against it. Jam band, live album, BUT the first few songs were such sweaty authentic blues rock that I was pleasantly surprised and excited to listen to more! Okay and then after the first few tracks it dissolved into the nonsense jam band live album snoozefest. Based on this album, if I'm rating jam bands: Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Phish. In that order.
classic if somewhat dated
Yeaah man ABB at the Fillmore man. This rules and is among the top live albums ever. Duane and Dicky are an unbelivable guitar duo (the tone on that zippy slide guitar is so sweet), backed by two drummers, a thumpin bassist, and a super white-blonde singer/organist, playing the blues, jamming out, and pioneering southern rock (not the cliched or racist kind). And woo can these boys jam. When they jam they like to soar the big blue sky rather than float into space like the Dead, and they do it with the best of em.
very rock and roll soundtrack coded. an easier listen than i thought.
The more blues rock sound in the beginning is a lot better than the rest of the jam band crap
3/5. If you like jamming, I think this album is closer to a 4 than a 3. If you don't, it's a 3, maybe even a 2. Most people don't like jamming, in my experience. As a guitarist who does, what I'll say is that this album is pretty damn decent. The tone, the song selection, the tightness of the band as a whole; everything is executed really well here. That said, there are better jam albums out there, and I severely doubt this will hold any sort of appeal to the average person.
I’m lyrics person, but this was a good “jam” album. The incorporation of certain tunes like ‘Amazing Grace’ in “You Don’t Love Me” and ‘Frère Jacques’ at the end of “Whipping Post” was interesting enough. All the more impressive these 20min songs/jam sessions were from live recordings, but not much crowd interaction or dialogue to make one feel like they were there.
So much noodling, and not so little but indeed so much time. Sounds like a fun party to have been at.
definitely the best live rock album I've heard for this challenge so far. I came into this a little hesitant about whether or not a live record was the best way to introduce myself to the Allman Brothers Band, another one of those bands I remember hearing on classic rock radio as a kid, but had never experienced in a full album context. well, it turns out that pretty much all the ABB material I knew up until now was released after the tragic death of co-founder and co-lead guitarist Duane Allman, whose performances on Derek and The Dominos' Layla were the biggest highlight of my listening experience with that (otherwise incredibly dull) album when it was one of the first five albums I got assigned for this challenge. I'm glad to have finally listened to a record that captures his guitar playing with his own band, where he clearly feels most at home. the way this classic lineup of the Allman Brothers Band (with its unusual twinning lead guitarists and drummers) played blues rock is shot through with heavy doses of jazz; it's well-known that jazz musicians were becoming more interested in rock music around the late 60s and early 70s, so it's interesting to hear how bands like this responded to that cultural exchange from the other side. you'd never mistake this for a fusion record or even a jazz-rock record, but there's a spontaneity and a looseness here that's hard to ignore. the shorter tracks are all based around some variation of the standard 12-bar blues form; "Stormy Monday" is the pretty obvious standout, with its jazz-like reharmonization of the classic blues progression and a butter-churning tempo. that being said, you and I both know the best moments happen when the track lengths go over 10 minutes. "You Don't Love Me" is an unusual 13.5-bar blues that incorporates a blood-pumping guitar-drum cadenza in the back half; "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" sounds, at multiple points, adjacent to the progressive rock movement that was also burgeoning at the time (although I think Gregg Allman's keys come across way more raw and real than, like, ELP's or something); and the less said about the 23-minute "Whipping Post", the better. that's not because it sucks, but rather because you should go out and experience it for yourself. if more jam bands jammed like this, I would listen to way more jam bands. decent 9/10.
There's little I dread so much in this challenge as the words "live jam band double album". I mean, look, it's impressive. It popularized jam bands. It sounds like a blast to have seen *live*. But listening at home, this is a chore. There are some brilliant moments but there's a lot of slog to get through in between. I can also understand that the blend of genres is innovative, but let's not overstate it. This is 99% southern rock jam sessions with a bit of jazz in the mix. I don't begrudge anyone for loving this though. I get it and I'm glad you enjoy. But for me, both the songs and the album just dragged in far too long.
I understand this album is held in high regard, but I am not a fan of indulgent 20 and 30 minute long jam sessions...I don't care who the band is. This is just not for me.
Excellente performance que j'ai beaucoup aimé. ET damn j'ai jamais vu des tracks qui font 30 minutes
A pretty good listen, but they were killing me with the 20 minute songs .
Siting in a nice shady bar having a few beers I probably would have a nice evening with those guys… sitting on my couch completely sober this really becomes boring very fastly…
Before hearing this, all I knew of the Allman Brothers was "Rambling Man". Yet here we are with an amazing predominantly-blues performance that blew my socks off. I dimly remember a friend long ago suggesting I listen to the Allman Brothers, and then I forgot to do it. I have some more listening to do. Albums like this are exactly why I am signed up on this website.
3.5
The list of live albums that I enjoy enough to listen to regularly (or even semi-regularly) is very small. I enjoyed this well enough, but the odds of me ever listening to it again are so slim that I'm hesitant to give it more than 3 stars. "You Don't Love Me" was my favorite track and that one might get some play, but as a whole, I'll probably leave this one behind.
A historically significant live album whose reputation rests more on musicianship than on emotional or conceptual depth. The Allman Brothers Band display outstanding ensemble chemistry, with fluid twin-guitar interplay and a rhythm section capable of sustaining long, disciplined improvisations. The performances feel confident and natural, capturing the band at a clear creative high. However, much of the album plays more like the kind of experience you’d get at a jazz-bar–style live show than a carefully shaped album production. The extended jams work well in the room, feeding off atmosphere and immediacy, but on record they can feel meandering and interchangeable. That said, because it functions more as a live document than as a fully realized album, and because it becomes long and homogeneous over time: 5.5/10
Das gefällt mir überraschend gut! Technisch extrem versiert, teilweise aber auch recht gniedelig und nicht wirklich songdienlich. Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass es auch über weite Strecken instrumental ist. Am besten gefallen mir mit Abstand die jammigen Longtracks, wobei der Rest auch in Ordnung ist. Interessanter Genremix. Erinnert mich teilweise an Mars Volta, King Crimson und Motorpsycho. Interessant: Jede Reissue wird immer ein gutes Stück länger. 76:22 (1971 release) 132:11 (1992 reissue) 134:58 (2003 reissue) 365:03 (2014 reissue)
Very solid 70s rock, with a little bit of dive bar grit. Breakthrough. Jam band. In Library of Congress as one of the most important albums. Long songs showing off the bands’ skills.
definitely not my genre
Not bad but also way too long. I’m not a jam bad person.
Incredible blues tracks with a great voice and some stellar solos
Statesboro Blues 5/5 Done Something Wrong 3/5 Stormy Monday 2/5 You Don't Love Me 1/5 Hot'Lanta 2/5 In Memory of Elizabeth Reed 1/5 Whipping Post 1/5 Overall Album 2.14
Its fine.
Great album and obviously they are very talented performers. A 23 min song of them jamming is wild, but also probably not something I'll end us listening to again.
Bit too bluesy for my taste. And yet another live album.
Great live blues rock
It was pretty neat, I inmersed nyself in the sounds of it, I was enthralled. Gret guitar rifts, great secuences, i liked it
mais um album curto mas longo ai mds FAVS (top 3): statesboro blues, done something wrong, you dont love me mençoes honrosas: in momory of elizabeth reed um bom album mas são poucas musicas q conseguem sustentar serem grandes, esse tem 3 tracks grandes e gostei de 2 mas acho q ficaria melhor se tivesse separado cada em 3 pq mds viu, a outro ficou massante dms KKKKK fazer oq ne nota final: 3/5
Band was super tight, the jams were had, I can see why this is considered one of the greatest live albums ever. However, 2 hours of 12 bar blues gets taxing.
Good album, would be great to own — I’m not sure what context I’d play it in though. It was a great front to back listen but nothing stood out
Outstanding, Country blues, rock was never better.
Meandering... but good
My dad would probably be incredibly pissed to find out that The Allman Brothers Band only got one album on the list, and then probably say "at least they got that one on there." Anyways, if there's one thing I love in a live album, it's a 23 minute jam session. I really only tend to like live albums if they do something different from the studio version, and a pretty easy way to fulfill that is to stick a jam session onto a whole side of a record. It really helps that these guys are incredible improvisers, maybe even up there with the Grateful Dead. Bonus points to the song that's just jamming. Not even a song to lead in, just a 13 minute jam. Maybe I'm easy to please (I absolutely am), but this album really hits the right part of my brain in a way that only a few bands have.
This is a great record and is yet another example of a band where the studio recordings leave a bit to be desired, but the live recordings really shine. In this case, the label understood what they had, and featured the live recordings of the band, which was the correct thing to do. All too often the record label thinks the buying public wants singles. This might be true for the majority of the artists, but not all.
not my thing
This absolutely ripped
Wasn’t sure at first but enjoyed it in end, good to work to
There was be a time when I would like this. It's just not in my taste at this point in life.
erratic/ecstatic
an almost 25 minute version of Whipping Post. Yup.
Hard pass way better blues bands around
Gear: Hifiman HE6se v2 SE Artwork: 😁😁😁 Production: 🥩😐👍 Music: 🎸🔂🤔 Rating: 🧭🧭/5
Hoped it might be quite Blues Brothers-ish… no such luck. Oh dear.
I really don't like blues. I typically hate live albums. This was the worst of both worlds...couldn't finish it.
One time my high school US history teacher kicked all of the girls out of the classroom and played his “super manly man” playlist that was just the Allman Brothers
5/10. It sounds decent but its not my sort of thing really
20 minutes is too long for a song. That being said, the middle part of this song was my favourite part of the album Live albums like this are absolutely meant for fans of the bands. I didn’t really like the “jamming” aspect of this album Fav songs: the middle part of You Don’t Love me (approx 7 mins to 17mins)
Not bad, just not really for me
Incredible jam band album - not something I would listen to regularly though
Lyden af min far, meget cool blues-rock
wasn’t expecting to enjoy it - but found it to be such a cool, sprawling album
Holy fuck an album I love! 5 stars bitch ass
White man blues is still a bangwr
Objectively, they are extremely talented musicians. Clearly pioneered jam music in a lot of ways and I can respect that. As an album, it was just so long and the instrumental periods were felt so long. Was ready for it to end and unlikely to relisten.
På grensa til å dette ned en karakter grunnet 20 minutter med gitarpusing. Litt lounge. Har et bruksområde.
That was a nice experience
It was aight. Very funky. Felt like the Persona 5 soundtrack at parts.
First two songs were good but the rest of the album was boring.
Het was leuk.. maar niet een album dat ik perse had willen horen
Better than the other two
Pretty boring
tooo long, good instrumentals tho!
Oh boy, an hour-long album from The Allman Brothers Band! I know a few songs by these guys, but alas, not one of them is on this album (“Whipping Post” looks familiar, but I can’t say whether or not I’ve actually heard it before). I’m not a huge fan of blues rock, and I’m not typically a fan of live albums, so these Georgia boys have their work cut out for them today if they want to impress me. I’m not banking on enjoying this album, but maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised. In some ways, At Filmore East was worse than I expected, but in other ways, it was better than I expected, and overall, I’d say this album was fine. At Fillmore East wasn’t a bad album, but it’s just not the sort of thing that interests me. I don’t mind long instrumental breaks in songs, but this album just kind of wore me down because it relied so heavily on the guitar playing to drive its sound. For an album with a lot of instrumental sections, I just want more variety. I’d have loved some drum solos or organ solos, just anything to keep me engaged, and this album just didn’t have that. I did enjoy the jam session sections of these songs more as the album went on though, because once I became accustomed to the band’s way of playing, I’d find things for my ears to latch on to. I was shocked that I enjoyed the longer songs a bit more than the shorter songs, and I thought that “You Don’t Love Me,” “Hot ‘Lanta,” and “Whipping Post” were the best songs on this album. “Hot ‘Lanta” was probably my favorite, because it was really unique. I liked the organ playing, and the guitar parts were really interesting too. I don’t think I’d ever come back to this album again, but this did put me in the mood for “Jessica.”
I didn’t realize his much these guys rock! I did thing some of the longer songs didn’t need to be as long as they were.
I'm not normally a "jam band" fan. I think this is a great album to have on as background music, but it would be hard for me to just sit and listen to it with nothing else going on. Clearly a classic and this is definitely a great album for what it is, but just not my thing.
All out jam here. Great album but won't revisit
Dad probably likes this. Can hear that they are very talented musicians. Blues and rock and roll version of jazz improvisation.
If you like an 8-minute guitar solo (or how about like 6 of them?), this is an album for you. An epic 7-track jam album with each track averaging over 10 minutes apiece. I prefer a tighter album in general, but as far as live albums go, this one is certainly one of the greats. It's not entirely my "jam," but I'm glad I listened before I died. 6/10
Good live album but I ain’t listening to all 2 hours of it
Live rock gave a sense of what it was like to be there!
A excepcion de la Freak on the Leash y Got the Life que son bangers esto es puro griterio con algunas canciones q son bastante flojardas
