Reviews (page 7 of 13)
Enjoyed the beginning of this but it dragged a bit imo, idk if the non live ones are more concise but some of the longer tracks are a bit daunting lmao, I literally had my jaw drop when I thought I was on the last track and then another 23 minute song came on 2.5
siento que este disco hay que escucharlo vestidos de pin up y bailando.
Pretty remarkable musicianship, but perhaps a little too on the guitar rock side of things for my taste.
jam
Litt glade i sin egen jam.
Fun, obviously well done. Not entirely my thing.
Muito solo, hein... O cara é bom, mas passa despercebido. É mais divertido pra ele fazer solo do que a gente ouvir.
A real shame you quit the list eh Nolan? Nolan: yuh
Pretty good, good background noise

Super repetitive but great instrumentals and vocals
I think I'll like Allman Brothers' studio recordings more than this. It listens like an extended jam session which is nice in smaller doses, but 11 minute tracks are just too much. Better than Grateful Dead's live album but a more structured studio recording is more to my taste
The playing is so good on this album and I really vibed with parts of it, but the length and the amount of dead air were too much. I don’t mind super-long songs if they tell a story or build towards something, but a lot of this was just aimless jamming.
music to listen to while doing something else (23 minutes??), great instrumental
not really my vibe
Ok
Reasonably pleasant–but not especially imaginative. I appreciate the bluesiness of it all, of course. Too long. Far too long.
good vibe and clearly masterful musicians. Was hard to pay attention to it while working so not sure I fully got into it but still enjoyed, like they were jamming in the room next to me. Hard to pick favourites when songs on it are up to 23mins long... but Statesboro blues and Stormy Monday stood out.
Generic blues rock. Goes on for way too long and gets very samey very quickly. 3/5
The never ending jam session. Noen lyspunkter her og der, men dette for gubbebluesete. Hadde de låtene blitt sløyfet hadde det blit en fornøyelig enkel-plate.
Not being a musician myself, I'm afraid I couldn't really speak on the technical aspect of this album, just the enjoyment I got from listening to this. It was okay. It's a nice combination of rock, blues, jazz...so I think I can definitely see myself playing this in a situation where I don't have to pay too much attention to the music and just have something in the background, like a party or a gathering of friends. But to me, the album was not "amazing", it was just "okay"
There's a lot of jamming here
Live blues levy. Biisit maalailevia ja aika tunnelmallisia ja niissä on aika pitkiä vissiin improvisoituja välisooloja. Siksi semmosta aika chilliä kuunneltavaa. Parhaat: In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed
Not my thing, drawn out blues boogie woogie
If rock was also jazz
Fire jam band sesh
Nooooooooodlllllllleeeeeee. 3.1/5
Good album, but not the best of the band
I wanted to like this more than I did. Especially coming after the Yes album. Oh well. Still solid but didn’t wow me.
Why the hell is there a live album on here? This just sounds like a jam session that goes on way too long. I appreciate the technical ability but it does not make for a fun listen. 5/10
Live album. Just sounds like they were jamming. So why is it here. 2.5/5
Really long and was struggling to get through it at times. Overall a rewarding experience though, some cool guitars scattered all throughout. Not something I imagine myself revisiting though. Rating: 6.1/10
The first few songs are just 12 bar blues type tracks with a standard blues rock feel. Then "Stormy Monday" comes along and reminds me that when the Allman Brothers do instrumental, it is just really enjoyable to listen to. Then the tracks get longer and longer with only "Hot 'lanta" breaking up what seem to just be jam sessions rather than tracks. This must have been an amazing gig to go and see. Just a really chilled out feel and riffing galore. (3.125)
Very long very jammy. whipping post is a great one
The extended jams often felt repetitive and dragged on longer than necessary. Not one I will revisit again.
Blues rock, Southern rock, Jam band.
This is #day686 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… from yesterday's an hour and a half of mid-'70s funk, soul, jazz, and whatnot, to today's almost equally an hour and a half of early '70s psychedelic blues jamming. I don't really mind! This is a 3 out of 5. Looking forward to #day687.
Don't really like live albums. This one wasn't too bad to just have jamming in the background while I was working
Easy to listen to but didn’t get me too excited.
This is probably one of the best “jam band” albums out there. Faint praise because jam bands by and large are wanky stoners who have never met a song they couldn't beat the life out of. But it tops other faint praise lists two. It's probably among the best “southern rock” albums. It's among the most iconic “live” albums. They hadn't even written “Jessica” by this point, and fully half of this album is made up of blues numbers they didn't write, but I guess that's neither here nor there. If nothing else, this is a defining document of the guitar skill of Duane Allman, which I don't think is reason enough to have to listen to this but I also cannot deny, the dude knew his way around the instrument. It's certainly a fair stand-in for dozens of other, worse albums of this genre. This is the one that had a talented backing band, that had two drummers for reasons best known to Duane himself (eat your hearts out Slipknot), that arguably brought “Hotlanta” into common slang. It's not really earth shattering stuff, but there is a certain beauty to a solid set of guitar solos. Even if, by every sensible metric, they are far too long. LP2 is the better output, which is nice since it's the stuff the Allmans actually wrote themselves. It obviously includes Whipping Post, a track that became mainstream enough to be a belter for the generic mid-tier country rocker on any season of American Idol, while also being something that Frank Zappa would often play live and even record late in his career. Probably Whipping Post survives even in a world where Duane doesn't die tragically young. I don't think this version is a particularly good representation of it (I feel the chorus, which is the emotional weight of the song, is rushed and stumbled), but let's be honest, this is on here so we can listen to 3ish minutes of Gregg and 20 minutes of noodlin'. Gregg could have been singing Baa Baa Black Sheep drunk and in Tagalog and no one would be listening. For my money I think In Memory of Elizabeth Reed is more interesting. It's long, skilled, but doesn't feel so much like an endurance run. But again, if I have to listen to something like this, better this than the Dead, Phish, Gizzard, Goose, whatever. I know I won't come out of this totally unscathed by the rest, but at least I can respect this inclusion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½
not as good as Joni Mitchell’s Blue
There were a lot of great opportunities to stand in a long beer line at this concert.
Initially wasnt fussed at all but its grown on my particularly the second half.
I admit to only listening to the first song and then the famous 22-minute Whipping Post extended jam. Good stuff! Would love to grow out my hair, pull up to the Fillmore on my road hog, light up a blunt and vibe out to this. But I can't!
This is so much better than Live / Dead, for instance, which I can't remember if I did but I hope I gave it a 2 , just because the interplay is spectacular between all the members and the ways jazz is shoved to the forefront are great as is the two drummer setup. It's still something I struggle with a little though just sort of innately. But it's undeniably good.
My delight at seeing 7 songs quickly changed when I saw it was AN HOUR AND 18 MINUTES LONG. Whatever, this could have been perfect and I'd stil knock off points for being unnecessarily long (even for a live album)
Great musicianship and good tunes. A bit meandering at times but I think that is the point
good vibes mais pas inoubliable
I don't really like the tone
Solid album and nice jam band type playing. Enjoyable listening but likely won't revisit much.
Talented but it bores me after a while
Très bon album, j’avoue que j’ai trouvé ça un peu long au final. Si la conversation est intéressante c’est une excellente musique de fond mais je ne l’écouterais pas attentivement
(67/100)
3 seems harsh cuz honestly it is quite good but I am probably never coming back to it so I can’t really say 4
Alright
Who knew of this soulful rock experience? i like it and would play it again. Some good variety and punchy moments, but bluesy too, liking it.
Not that into jam bands but it was solid
Cool album, crowd getting right into it - I completely missed the Allman brothers, but they play some great rock n roll
325/1089 i mean, it was a nice relaxing listen while i read. good background music but not sure i need to go back to it 56/100
The riffs on You Dont Love Me go crazy. Besides that, its decent, just not something I would go back for
This was cool but fell into the background
What should you do if your band has recorded two albums, both of which sold poorly? Should you change something about the sound? Maybe the production? Or give up music altogether? Of course not, you need to record a live album immediately, then things will really take off. This approach worked in the 70s! I've encountered a similar case with Peter Frampton, but this is a bit different, since the Allman brothers always viewed their studio recordings as polished versions of their songs, which truly blossomed in concert. And here it must be said that blues is generally an acquired taste, but even not all blues lovers can appreciate the technically powerful, yet extremely lengthy instrumental jams that the band (obviously heavily stoned) stretched out for dozens of minutes live. But if you enjoy that kind of thing, this album is for you!
Allman Brothers Band were great live, but they just sound better on record!
Never been much for blues rock, but I’m assuming this album made a splash in that scene when it came out. Not sure I’ll listen to this front to back, but obv some very tasty guitar and organ here.
I just don't really care for live albums though the sound quality on this one is excellent. While this isn't for me, I liked the music enough to go look for some of their other albums to give them a try.
All hail to Princess bubblegum.
It was a good blues album, but I just don't really like blues
cool
0 liked songs.
- I already love The Allman brothers coming into this so its gonna be hype af however why isn't eat a peach on the 1001 book... - The guitars are already mad impressive fam - definitely older sounding album, however still has that Allman lick that you love to hear - Sen Sen Sen sean sean sean seahn seahn - relisten quality not so good tho...
hoo boy this has a 23 minute song. lets see if they earn it classic blues sound. reading the wiki article tells me its jam band which i guess explains the album length lol. i like the vibes, definitely an album you can just chill and listen to. stormy monday has some great rock organ, and the guitar kind of goes crazy ngl. the more up tempo stuff i can kinda bop along to as well. damn that solo at the end of you dont love me that ended up being more than half the length of the full song. AND THEN THEY PUT JOY TO THE WORLD IN THERE... i get why this genre exists. its not really for me because i dont have the endurance to listen to a 30 minute song with that much attention but if i had to pick an album highlights: stormy monday, you dont love me
A bit too noodle-y, but it worked fine as background music on a sunny day. But why does it have to be a double record?
Good, but a bit long winded
Long winded at times.
upbeat blues fw it
23 minute song
I actively hated the first three songs—bluesy Southern rock could not be less my thing—but in a shocking plot twist, I actually preferred the winding jams that characterize the back half of the album. I doubt I'd ever listen to this again, but I appreciated the obvious talent involved. And by dudes in their early 20s, no less.
Folks fun
I can appreciate a lot of this but for a Live album it doesn't have a lot of fun interactions and sort of meanders around
Kinda forgettable
Chill background music
Alright rock, VERY long and uneventful though. I think listening once was enough for me.
good jams, kinda long
This is very very good and unique but feels a little long for me and I don't see myself ever listening to it again
it’s fine
Not a huge jam band fan, especially the recording and not live. This had some very long parts that I just wanted to skip over. Specifically in You Don't Love Me. 3/5
Pretty decent jam band album. Gets pretty repetitive, but if it’s your kind of music, it’s good.
This is the kind of music I love when I'm in the mood for it, but get bored with when I'm not.
I would kill to have 1/10th of their skill, but I would also kill to avoid this album. Excellent musicianship, but I wouldn't listen again. I don’t really care for live albums that much, they’re more something to be impressed by and move on. Enjoyable but music for me is something I want to re-experience and get to learn and know with time. I can’t do that with a 23 min song I’m sorry…
Not a bad album but live albums are generally not that good as they most often lack the atmosphere that makes live music good. This record especially is basically studio quality with some whoos after each song.
Intriguing-was it blues or rock?
Sums up my relationship with jazz
Yawn
Reminds me of the adage that jazz musicians play for themselves, not the audience. Amazing musicianship from Duane. But something I didn't want to spend so long listening to. A generous 3*
Var less efter första sekunden, men på något vänster lyckas deras jammande avslut väga upp.
Okej bakgrundsmusik.
Fine but for me it doesn't bring anything new or exciting or convey anything much. Electric keyboard is the highlight for me of course. Top track: in memory of elizabeth reed. Many of the tracks started well and then just went on for too long without really going anywhere. Might be really fun if you were dancing in a barn in a dusty field in America. Maybe I'm being too harsh because it probably was a bit innovative at the start of the 70s. Actually it does build up a bit as the album goes on which is fun and makes me kind of wish I was there at the live show.
Jam Band Some of the songs go on long, but that is just Jam Band
Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East 3* 19 minute track!? Too long Nice sounds but gooeeesssss on, like chatting to the wrong person at the local garden centre TA: you don't love me, in memory of Elizabeth
It was fine but not something I could really actively listen to. It washed over me. I think I just like ABB better in the studio. Live recordings can be difficult… sometimes there’s a lot to gain from the attempt to capture the mood of a show, but also you can end up losing a lot of musical depth because the tracks aren’t produced like that. I think this album kind of falls into the latter category. I can easily see why this has its fans, but for me personally it didn’t quite work. I might come back to it for easy listening purposes later though.
Jam band! You really have to be in the right headspace for this one, but you can’t deny the talent.
A good live album. Jam band
Live blues, some serious foot tapping happening here.
Amazing guitar!
Great album but few of the songs were too long. Listening to 29 min song with most of it being soloing just made me zone out and the song just blurred to background noise. Nevertheless I still enjoyed this one and think it is a solid 3.
This was a fun, rocking, groovy ride and was probably fucking awesome to be at. Just feel like live albums don't totally hit unless you have already have a deep-rooted love for the band.
Sound.
i enjoyed this more than i thought i would, but it didn't particularly blow my mind. the shorter/more focused jams were fun, they kinda started to lose me with the 10+ minute tunes.
Good jam record but not much more
*1971. *I love The Allman Bros, and they're obviously meant to be seen/heard live, but I really don't love most live albums. So much clapping and loooooong songs that just don't translate from a concert to listening in your living room. *The quality is fantastic though. *There are only 6 songs on this 1 hr, 18 min album... The only ones I know are Statesboro Blues and a 23-min cover of Whipping Post. RATING - 6.5/10
Live music is something else. Stormy Monday was my favorite.
- why they got Joy to the World in one of the songs? - fun sounds - how is this album so long with so few songs? - I might listen again as background noise - for my comment above, I now see that the last song is over 20 minutes, so it makes sense now
Great playing but not ideal for casual or background music for me. Unfortunately that's the lens I'm listening to all of these albums through. Highlights: "Stormy Monday", "You Don't Love Me", "Whipping Post"
This is fun, but a bit... ignorable. Still, sounds great.
Jammy, blues soloing. Kinda boring to me. 3.
#375 / 1089 Heard before? ❌ Revisit? ❌ I do understand they created some standards for bands plauing in the years to come; actually good sounding live recordings became a thing, general "setup" of a live band started to change with their dual guitar work and drummers and so forth. None the less, I don't get any more enjoyment out of the music by knowing these things. Maybe I take all of those things for granted today, but again, the music doesn't get any better by knowing this and I'm not going to be comparing it to even older and "lesser music". Even then it would not make this music better. It's blues. It's fine. Strong 2/5, I'll pad it with some extra for leading the way I guess; so 3/5
Would have loved to see these performances, but now it seems rather dated. Talented players but not an album for regular rotation.
Blues rock extended jams, guitars Whippin post
Alright lol. Not my thing
Musically very technical and hard to argue against but I’m not the biggest fan of jam bands. Also on a live album I want some more audience interaction.
I liked it, but I’ve also heard better rap albums from the same era
I don’t think this performance was worth putting the live version of this on here. I like the songs tho
There's some good quality country rock buried in here, but sadly it's buried in some very very long and pointless live jams. Do we really need to hear TWO twenty-minute jam sessions plus two more around the ten minute mark?
Not too bad, I enjoyed it for the most part.
I know this is very good blues-rock. But man these extended jams are just not my thing. Plus, to be perfectly honest, a couple times I had no idea a song even changed...it all just blurred together. I didn't hate listening to it, but I just don't need 15 minutes of noodling around on the instruments either.
The Allman Brothers? Yeah I guess they would be, or they'd be sisters. Bro really snuck in a christmas song and thought I wouldn't notice
I enjoyed listening to a live album. I grew up listening to the Allman Brothers, so this album was a bit nostalgic. Listening to it as an adult and with a more inclusive world view, however, it's hard to separate the South from the southern rock. Like, why are we calling songs "Whipping Post"?
Decent though it's a bit meander-y for me
Fine and fun
Didn’t hate
Creedence like, not so bad
Loud, vibrant blues rock live album. Highs are ridiculous. Very close to a strong 4. Just a little too boogie rock for my tastes at times.
Have I listened to this album before? No How familiar am I with this album? Unfamiliar How do I feel about this artist? I enjoy the Allman Brothers, but I’ve only heard their studio stuff Favorite song(s)? Stormy Monday Overall Thoughts: I like the overall sound but I don’t like how long it went on. I can enjoy noodling and jamming when I’m at a concert, but live albums just don’t have the same level of excitement so it just kind of drags on. It wasn’t bad but I don’t get why this album is the Allman Brothers album on this list.
Not usually a fan of Live albums on this list, but this seems a good candidate as the bands offering is clearly unique and worth listening to to appreciate the musicianship. This said, I won't be coming back to this with the 20+minute jam sessions for the songs being simply too long! 6/10
Wow, those are some long songs. But pleasant.
Thought it was nice it was less self indulgent than the Layla album. Then the 20 minute guitar solo hit... Still. These things do happen at live shows. Idk. 3 I guess because I'm tired of all these 2s
Felt like an extended jam session rather than an album. Says something about the musicianship that it wasn’t until the penultimate track did I notice that most of the tracks were instrumental. Won’t revisit but wasn’t offensive.
Very listenable if unremarkable blues.
There are a couple of classic songs, and I think Duane Allman is the greatest slide guitar player of all time but guys, you can't have an 18 minute track in there.
Nice but didn’t resonate with me as much.
This was pretty cool, the last two tracks especially, fantastic guitar work, a fun jam session.
great guitars
They're certainly good players and some of the arrangements are cool, but a little goes a long way, and unfortunately we get a lot. Still, there's no hate. It's just not really my bag.
There is little that I like about this band. Not my jam. Trite lyrics. Women did 'em wrong so let's go tell mamma. ugh. But did it put a wee pep in my step while making a salad? Yes a very mid step.
Not a big blues guys but it wasn't too bad.
chill music
I am NOT listening to a song called whipping post 😭✌🏾
Not really my thing, but very well done. I could see enjoying this live.
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
they did better than i was assuming. the bar was unfortunately low
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 does ramble a bit too long, but still a good listen on a spring southern day.
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
Mindless jam rock. I enjoyed it though
Its jammy southern rock blues. Nothing more, nothing less.
Pretty cool guitar but honestly, a 20 minute song just isn't my jam.
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
Meh ⭐⭐⭐
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.
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.
está bien, nada del otro mundo
Great in spurts, but forgettable other times.
It reminds me of dad somehow
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
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.
Dober
Anything becomes psychedelic if you just jam long enough.
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.
Hätte ne 4 sein können aber es zieht sich dann doch sehr 3/5
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".
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.
A bit long but still a good album
An hour twenty of the Allmans cooking. Oh, to have been there…
I mean I have no problems with it, I do appreciate the long ass songs, but there’s nothing amazing, solid listen tho
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.
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
Está bueno, nada del otro mundo
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.
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.
Great live album! A 3.8
Not the best Allman's album, but a better live album than other band's have.
i kinda liked it, it was groovy good to study!
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
American boomer rock. Hard to say anything else about it.
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.
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.
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)
Good
3-3,5/5
now these guys are JAMMING and jamming and jamming for a long period of time
Takie do zagrania w tle
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
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.
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
Probably a good album hiding in here, but ended up being a bit meandering
Started more exciting than it ended
very rock and roll soundtrack coded. an easier listen than i thought.
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.
A pretty good listen, but they were killing me with the 20 minute songs .
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
Not bad but also way too long. I’m not a jam bad person.
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.
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
There was be a time when I would like this. It's just not in my taste at this point in life.
Hard pass way better blues bands around
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)
Incredible jam band album - not something I would listen to regularly though
wasn’t expecting to enjoy it - but found it to be such a cool, sprawling album
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.
Het was leuk.. maar niet een album dat ik perse had willen horen
Better than the other two
Pretty boring
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.
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
Ok pauseunderholdning.
The short songs were great. Brilliantly played blues and iconic guitar sounds. The long songs were toooo long though. Not sure who would listen to the extended versions?!
Dare i say it? A little too long? Like these guys know what they're doing, and some of these songs are fire, but idk if I'd revisit this, it was decent 6/10
These live albums recently are okay, but I guess I just prefer studio albums. Anyways, this is a decent background music.
Strong instrumental work. However, I find that the bluesier stuff isn’t always my jam. Appreciate this for what it is.
It’s a lot of noodling and jamming. And yknow what? I like noodling and jamming. But it can only make an album so good in my eyes. 6/10
Immediately hell yeah. First few seconds and I love it. I kinda knew I was gonna like it as I already know some of their songs. Lots of jamming and improvisation that feels so smooth. A mix of blues and southern rock, long guitar solos, love when the harmonica comes out. Maybe music always gives me this feeling, but I imagine it well for some film scenes: crazy on the road trips and adventures or just simple and ordinary life.
It was alright
Jamming gets a bit long winded at times but it always feels like there's something neat around the corner to keep you listening. Everything beyond Hot 'Lanta is fantastic, definitely prefer it to the former half of the album.
Not bad, just kinda generic. It feels like music your uncle would play at a family BBQ.
First I’ve heard of this band and intrigued. I have noticed that the more I work through this list, I do have a slight twinge at the many ways white people appropriated certain genres of music and here is another example. And 80 minutes. The bar is set… Some nice blues, grooves and rhythm and clearly talented. As so many descriptions say, it’s a jam band, and whilst that’s impressive there is something about it you can just drop in and out of. Maybe rather than the story or journey that comes from a studio album. ‘You Don’t Love Me’ feels like it epitomises this. Some moments of brilliance, some moments just waiting for them to finish 🤷🏻♂️ It’s funny, because there is a lot of talent and skill here but just doesn’t grab me in the ways that albums and songs that I value do (3.5)
This album is tedious. I might it better if I was on acid. It just seems to never end. It’s probably better than The Black Album though.
I got into the Allman Brothers Band when I first started listening to vinyl because their albums work so well in that medium but I’ve never been able to hear what people think is so great about this album. It always kind of fades into the background when I try to pay attention to it. Same result today. It’s not bad but I don’t think I really get it.
Not bad music. I like the Allman Brothers, but this was a bit of a slog to get through. The studio versions are better and more concise. 3/5
they jam well
Pretty standard blues, pretty funky but idk if its my jam
It's a nice little bluesy session.
it’s a good album, i kinda liked it but why the hell was one song 20 min long. the whole album only had 7 songs but lasted one hour and 18 min.
The grand finale of this album, an epic showing from "Whipping Post", saved this album from a lower ranking. I really expected much better from this album, particularly because of all the praise it gets. Favorite Track: "Whipping Post".
I really don't like the blues rock stuff but the rest of the record is great - especially the jazz fusion of Elizabeth Reed.
Good bluesy guitar rock, started to get repetitive - if cut down to single album would have been higher
Klinkt leuk. Vrolijk. Wel vaak wat zenuwachtige muziek. En veel hetzelfde. Laatste nummer van 23 minuten toch maar overgeslagen
This album has more solos than its playtime...man...neverending and a little annoying...
Man this is really jammy. Too jammy. I lost interest during the three reaaaaaaaaalllly long blues jams. Bassist ripped, though.
Blues-fapping as it is, but it could be worse.
I underestimated it
Clearly very talented and would probably make good background music.
Kind of a proto jam band or proto prog vibe. I feel if I'd been on drugs this would have been sick.
meh i mean i get it, it’s really 70s with lots of instruments but i need music that i ca sing yknow like there was a like 18 minute song and it was mostly instruments
I mostly enjoyed listening to this. It’s really good quality blues rock. And I appreciate what a really well recorded live performance this is! It’s also 80 minutes long for 7 songs. It faded into the background quite a lot. It was a bit much. I did really like thinking about the venue. A small theatre where major acts would perform. My mom and dad went here all the time during their college years.
A classic white blues 70s sound. Undeniably great guitar soloing. Some of the jams went on too long. Some nice variation in songs added interest.
I like this kind of music and I like the Allman Brothers, but I don't need a 23 minute rendition of Whipping Post...
Nothing to write home about
Some great songs here—the live album is a little bit hard to compare to a regular one.
I'm an appreciator of outstanding musicianship, and I know that the energy of a live show -- the spell a great live band can set on its audience -- is hard to capture with only audio (or even audio and video...sometimes you just had to be there), but I don't have the patience to keep paying attention after eight minutes of guitar soloing. Even if it's exquisite guitar soloing, I just start yawning. So I get why this album is on this list, and I respect it. But it is definitely not for me.
At Fillmore East brings the blues, played by musicians who know the form inside out. Then the guitars take over. They stretch, circle, and keep going. The jamming opens a door where time slows down and nothing feels urgent. Some people find that freeing. I mostly feel it drift. Now and then, it clicks. In the final track especially, the band locks in. The vocals land just right, the groove tightens, and everything feels simple and right. For a moment, it’s perfect rock ’n’ roll. Then the solos return and the spell fades. I’m glad I listened. It feels like a record you’re supposed to hear at least once. But I don’t feel much need to go back. I don’t smoke weed, and this album feels like it wants you to.
I really liked it through maybe 2 songs, but was tired of it by the end. I don't typically go for live albums or jam bands or jazz, and today I realized that jam bands and jazz have a lot in common. 7 songs in 1 hour and 18 minutes was always going to be a hard sell for me. Great musicianship, though; that much is indisputable. This is probably awesome if you're high and just want to listen to music. 3.2
The guitar is insane. Definitely just bros jamming out.
Correcto
I liked the instrumental solos but majority of it I honestly did not enjoy that much. I think the vibe of it was not really for me, which is sad because I really did want to LOVE this.
Hat mich nicht abgeholt
Classic first track, good live set. Really long last two. Liked it, wouldn’t come back.
We have reached peak jam. That's it, they used it all up. That said, it's not offensive, just overlong.
Not for me, but reading other reviews increased my appreciation of it.
It was pretty good
It was fine.Not sure that all these live albums are essential
- it’s making me laugh how there’s only 7 songs but the album is 1 hr and 20 mins - Also funny that the genre is dad rock - It is jammy and a vibe, I just have a sneaking suspicion that all the songs will sound the same - A 19 min song??? You’re joking - Holy shit this one is 22 min. This should be illegal
Mjög góð riff og mörg hver flott gítarsóló sem þó urðu of löng og ég átti erfitt með að greina á milli laga
Ég var að fíla þetta í botn en svo fóru að koma alltof löng lög. Ég þarf smá pásu og breytingu á tempói.
Duane Allman was a spectacular guitarist. And the rest of the band also really knew their way around their instruments. And some of these songs are excellent. They'd be even more excellent if each one didn't need to showcase how GOOD the band is at playing their instruments. I really hate jam bands, and this may not fall neatly into that category, but all of the poor instincts are there.
I gotta admit this is not exactly my type of music, so every song sounds a little bit samey for me (I know, I know, not a fair assessment).
Altså ja, det er jam band shit, men jeg sys faktisk det er ret fed jam band shit
Just a lot of jamming.. Was a bit long, but I enjoyed most of it.
I knew these guys are incredibly talented before going into this, and I love bands who jam but this was almost too much jam for me.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, I don’t think live albums need to be on this list, there ARE a few exceptions - I’ll admit that. This is not one of those exceptions. Ripping, noodling, bluesy guitar riffs.
Really solid album, just kinda wanted it to be over
Ok rock album, but the longer jam sessions make it feel unfocused to me.
