At Fillmore East

Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Stormy Monday, Whipping Post Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Really hard to capture the magic of live music on record. Glad it's here so I could experience it 50 years after the fact, but ultimately succumbs to You Just Had To Be There-itis.

I mean if you love '70s jam Rock, it rocks. My only issue is the 20 minute songs tho

It was pretty good. The songs are mostly kinda long but they were pretty good. The background noise was great too. Pretty good for a live album!

Cool!

It’s the second time I’ve listened to this album. Generally I enjoy this kind of progressive, southern jam rock, and I know this is considered one of the quintessential live albums, but I don’t feel it in the way I’d like to feel it. I mean, I want it to strike me on a visceral level - I really do - but my soul doesn’t buy it. It is enjoyable to listen to. It contains some absolute masterful musicianship; the electric guitar shines down from otherworldly planes on more than a few occasions. These arrangements should send shivers down my spine, but alas, they don’t. I wonder if it has to do with familiarity? I appreciate the Allman Brothers Band’s radio hit singles but they don’t appear on this album; perhaps the lack of the known contributes to my underwhelmed sensation? Something did stir me between 12:03 to 12:47 of You Don’t Love Me. The hillbilly guitar part spoke briefly to my soul, although only for a short moment. I vote overall based on how the album makes me feel, and it disappoints me to offer At Filmore East a mere 3, because from a technical and sonic perspective it rates much higher. This was the most difficult album for me to rate among the project so far.

Can honestly say I haven't ever listened to much of Allman Brothers, but this wasnt bad. Might have to give them a listen beyond their song that used to be the Top Gear theme.

This album did nothing at all for me. It just happened and then it finished. Utterly forgettable.

The great southern-blues rock jam band. While technically impressive, I often found myself thinking that I would prefer to listen to Grateful Dead. At Fillmore East can occasionally meander and lose steam, while Live / Dead flows a lot more naturally in its dynamics.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ok lyssning. Några omöjligt långa låtar. Men sköna jam.

December 1, 2024 how 'bout we cool it with the long live albums this week (this comes hot on the tail of ELP and MC5)

Always the greatest! Listen again: yes Purchase for my collection: own it Favourite Song:

Some good stuff here, but tediously overlong.

I listened to this one a few days ago and found it tedious, but on second listen I really enjoyed it as background music to drive me forward while working. The guitar skills on display are amazing, but I still think it is pretty tedious at times. Glad I listened again, we'll see if I revisit. 3/3.5

I really like the Allman Brothers studio albums, so this was quite disappointing for me, some classics on this recording but good lord, some of the instrumental/solo sections drag on for some time without doing anything especially interesting.

This album was ok

Low 3

Sick 50 min guitar solo

Please, I beg for mono. "You don't love me" has the drums very hard on the right side and it destroys my enjoyment of the song. Guitar riffs are good, the rare vocals glide through the instrumentals, but holy shit I'm getting allergic to 60's-80's bands discovering what stereo sound was and ruining their record because of it. If it was good enough for the Beatles, it should've been good enough for you too. this shit funky though 6/10

Rambly rock

Let me first say that I LOVE The Allman Bros. Heck, I even own this one on vinyl. But, I'm just not a fan of live albums counting as "albums." If you like jam bands then this is mandatory listening, so I get why it's recommended, but to me, even though I enjoy the noodle-fest, I don't think this is a great choice for a must-hear live album, let alone a list of ALL albums you must hear.

I enjoyed the live recording. Very well done.

Not my kind of music tbh! But it was upbeat and fill off tasty licks and solos.

I ended up liking this one quite a bit more than I expected to. It really caught my attention in some of the jams. Unfortunately, it also got a bit long and self-indulgent on some of the tracks (22 min wtf?)   Standouts Done Somebody Wrong 3/5

Once youve heard one you've heard them all

This was a decent listen, in that southern blues rock kind of way. Kind of in the same vein as that Skynyrd, Outlaws, Marshall Tucker style. They take the long jam to new lengths, the last track announced on the album as “a little number” and checking in at 23 minutes. I like a long track more than most but damn.

I’ve always felt that when it comes to listening to the blues, you gotta get in and get out pretty quickly. Unfortunately this album is probably not a good litmus test for that. Live recordings are very hard to pull off and these guys do it well here. The band is tight and some parts where both guitarists are harmonizing are pretty solid. Those reasons probably earn it as 3-star for me. But damn…do we really need 20+ minute jams? Clearly a listen where if you leave to get a beer, only to return and realize you probably didn’t miss much.

Right between a 3 and 4 for me. Strong vibes and I love a good blues set. But there are plenty of other places to look if you want good blues. Heavy reliance on standards limits the score as well.

Nice.

This is fine. The 20 min jams weren’t as bad as I initially feared. 2.75/5

I don't usually like live albums, but this was some nice jamming. I was positively surprised by the quality of the recording, I could hardly tell this wasn't a studio album. I wish it had more structure, though. 3.5/5 stars

I mean, it's a good example of jam blues. It sounds good, they play a lot classic blues standards...but it's still a live album. I'll never be a fan of live albums with very few exceptions.

An acceptable level of Noodly Lou and the Turd Herders

They're probably proud of this record. No reason not to be. They're good at what they do. It's good background music. And that's what it automatically becomes, because they can't keep my attention. Favorite song: you don't love me

Erinomaisen kuuloista liveksi. Hienosti osaavat soittaa. Liian pitkiä biisejä vaan, niillä ei ole muuta suuntaa kuin kasvaa, mikä käy aikas yksitoikkoiseksi.

The Good: great classic rock! The Bad: too many jam songs. The Ugly: no weed no joy... Of I were interested in listening to a jam band, I'd go and see them live... 3* just because, but I don't believe I will be listening to this album again soon, and I love rock, and blues...

Sympa

Not really what I thought this band sounded like. It was definitely better than what I had imagined, but nothing that I'd go back to.

Buen disco en vivo, excelente habilidad de todos los músicos, algunes canciones son algo largas para mi gusto, no lo volvería a escuchar

Jam band

I would enjoy this if I was actually there live cuz it was indeed a jam. Just fine though as an album. Pretty awesome guitars though, just a bit long

Notable track: Stormy Monday

Classic jam band funk, live.

It’s fine.

this is fine for what it is but for me personally i can't imagine a scenario where I'd put this on over a grateful dead set. simply a matter of taste, i think everyone only has room for one jam band in their life!

Great live performance. You don't love me stole the show

Look, I'm not a rock-blues fan, nor am I hug fan of jam bands. There's some nice elements (and there's no denying the musical ability of these bros) but I can't listen to blues harmonica for 23 minutes. I mean, c'mon.

Pretty cool southern rock and blues album. Allman Brothers would have been a trip seeing in their prime. Especially if you are a fan of guitar work. It's unfortunate that the good rock and roll is in the underground and all the popular stuff is either too jock rock or artists who parody other bands (Greta van fleet, sheepdog). One day it'll see the mainstream... Maybe.

Love the blues. Great guitar. Reminded me of Cream, didn’t really find anything too dissimilar from other blues bands I’ve heard. Favourite song was their rendition of Stormy Monday.

I'm glad I forced myself to listen to this album in its entirety because it was off or a bad start. Your typical 12-bar blues I've heard too many times. But it gest better after the first two songs and is a nice rocky album, I think. With even some walking bass lines outside of a jazz setting but it works. I'll give it another listen. Not the most amazing or groundbreaking album, also I don't like the fact that they have cobbled together this album, it is not a true live album of one gig. But some songs are great.

Sounds like they’re just jamming in their garage

Felt like a jam sesh in my ears for an hour straight which isn’t a bad thing.

This was an exciting, soulful and fun experience! This is what I imagine when I think of a blues rock band going on stage and just having fun with the music they make.

7 songs over 78 minutes long. Do the math. Ive tried and tried to get into these guys and I just cant. I see the talent but I just cant. At least its not EDM. Give it a 3 for staying power

kewl

Endless noodling is not my thing so a band know for their jam-sessions is going to be a hard sell. Even though the tracks bordered in length to episodes in TV-shows, any one part of the track I enjoyed. Then again, I would've enjoyed it more if the songs had some structure and edited down. Saying things like that I think kind of misses the point of a live album of a jam band. Going to settle on a weak 3 since the album was very groovy. Feeling quite neutral about the whole deal, good as some background music I guess when you want some funk.

Very chilled rock with a nice jazzy feel. Made me feel cheery lol. Some of the songs on the album are veryyyyy long tho.

I do enjoy some long jams, but this album seems a bit excessive. And I prefer the polish of the studio sound. Overall it's fine

Hey so these guys are really great musicians, and this is the kind of thing I might have on in the background of a BBQ and groove along to while socializing. But this will be the only time I sit down and actively listen to the whole thing. I've never given jam bands a try, maybe they're not for me. It's yet to be seen.

Hmm, sorry, what was that? I nodded off for a bit there... this record is interminable. I find it interesting the number of reviews that talk about how they "fused jazz with rock/blues", but isn't that just code for "endless soloing"? And the soloing is endless; guitar solos, organ solos, drum solos, bass solos, god help me. Would anyone who knew anything about jazz call this a jazz record? In fairness, they are super tight, well recorded, and all crack players who can all squeeze out a good solo when required. The twin guitar thing is pretty impressive. But it did give permission for a thousand other bands to do likewise, which you can't really blame the Allman Bros for, but I will. Worse yet, this is like the Bible for Blues Lawyers. I have met quite a few 50 year old financial planner/dentist/IT professionals with $3000 Fenders who want to jam on Stormy Monday. Truth be told, you can listen to Whipping Post and know everything about this record that you really need to.

Some good jams. If you’re not familiar enough with the music, live is always harder

Live jam album. Loved it.

This is right up my street, good ol proper blues and superb guitar noodling! A bit repetitive, but let's face it, that's basically what blues is

4 stars for the sound 2 stars for the length No song should be >30 minutes

okay for being this kind of music

Can I be impressed and bored? Yes, yes I can.

More jam band live album-madness. This one was palatable due to the easy-listening of their blues/country rock style, which I'd say lends itself somewhat well to the live environment. Not much more than a 3 though, as I don't consider too many live albums "ground breaking".

Pretty long, but I like rock so it's acceptable I kind like rhis

Their version of “Statesboro Blues” is embarrassingly bombastic and silly compared to the beauty of the original track by Blind Willie McTell. I can see why people enjoy The Allman Brothers’ bluesy prog jams; I however, don’t.

Thought I liked the end half of the album turned out Spotify moved me onto related albums which were just way more experimental and interesting. not quite sure where the album ended but fuck it there’s only so much 12 bar blues you can hear even if it’s pretty decent 12 bar blues

The second half of this album is incredible. In memory of Elizabeth Reed and Whipping Post are really cool songs with amazing jams. The first half I found boring as hell. It was just boring blues songs with extended guitar solos. I like jams that showcase the whole band, not just filler songs for someone to noodle over. Elizabeth Reed was the highlight for me, that jam was just awesome, you could really feel the bands energy. Same with whipping post but I loved the sound of Elizabeth Reed better, it definitely veered away from the blues focus into something more interesting.

I like the Allman Brothers studio albums that I have heard but I'm not as much into their live work. Don't get me wrong the band are tight and the songs are good for the most part but the meandering jamming makes me lose interest after a while. Again nothing bad but unless you're into jam bands then it's not essential.

Classic American rock sound. The quality of engineering makes it sound like a studio record. Allman Brothers aren’t something I’d typically listen to, but it has its place. Some classics I grew up with too. If I were around for this show, I probably would have gone to check it out. Solid record.

If you like aimless jams that don't end, here's your record...

Insomma okay, musicalmente è senz'altro carino e non ho nessuna critica concreta se non che sto diventando insofferente ad album di questo genere. Non so proprio che voto dare

Was going to be a 4 but then it just went on and on and on and on and on......

Some really good rock in here but unfortunately an hour and a half is just way too long

You know I really don’t have much to say about the individual songs on this album as they kinda just blended together like it was one big jam sesh. I’m not usually a fan of live albums especially from this era just because the audio quality is usually dog ass terrible but this one was pretty damn good. Whipping post sorta stuck in my head a bit more but that might just be cause it was the last track. It’s just good blues, good instrumentation, but like a lot of these older albums they’re fundamentally different listened to with a brain full of micro plastics off an iPhone, compared to if they had been listened to on a hifi system with a fucked needle with a brain full of lead byproducts and LSD. Nothing I’d go out of my way to listen to but good music nonetheless.

One of those ones you'd put on if you want background music from a particular period, just goes on and on at spme points but its not bad 3/5

A lot of skill but i prefer vocals with my jams

01) Statesboro Blues - 6,0 02) Done Somebody Wrong - 6,0 03) Stormy Monday - 8,5 04) You Don't Love Me - 5,0 05) Hot Lanta - 6,0 06) In Memory of Elizabeth Reed - 6,5 07) Whipping Post - 5,0 TOTAL: 6,14 (61/100) Current ranking: 208/260 So, so you think you can jam... I really liked "Stormy Monday". Songs #4 & #7 are really, really to long, hence I really, really didn't like them.

So this is a band that jams and didn't like the fact that albums were limited to 3 minute songs. Therefore "we have to make a live album" Welcome to the new age friends.

Eh, this was fine - didn't get me too excited, but didn't piss me off either. Jam bands aren't particularly my thing - for every passage that made me go "oh, that was neat" there was another that made me go "hmmm, that's a bit self indulgent even for my tastes". Dunno, I guess I'd go 3.5 on it, but I'm rounding down as it's definitely not a 4. Fave track - "Hot 'Lanta" maybe? The slowed down "You Don't Love Me" had its charms, too...

Enjoyable, good music - I probably wouldn't hunt it out but didn't want to change to something else. The longer songs were particularly cool, ideally would give this a 3.5

Not my favorite, I liked the guitar but it didn’t feel like my thing

3.7

Good but too long

I think actually hearing this live would be amazing. While I really enjoyed it, I don't know if that translated as well to an album for me personally. I really do enjoy the style but several of the tracks drag on too long for me to get into not hearing live. That all said, this one is definitely worth a listen and I do think it belongs on the list. I just won't be revisiting too often I don't think.

Enjoyable, but not sure I'd listen to it again. These guys were at the top of their games for this set, though.

There are 3 songs I really like. The songs with guitar solos get too repetitive.

Probably would have been great to see live, as an album just okay

Enjoyed it

It's okay

Interesting that this album with all of its extended plays was a hit. My, how our attention spans have changed.

I'm sure it's technically impressive, but it goes on for so long and doesn't really do all that much with the time. The shorter tracks are pretty good, but there are multiple ~20 minute ones that just wander around. I don't mind it, but it fades into noise after a while.

’nice blues.

It was OK. Some good tracks.

Good.

-Great vocals and interesting for a live album. I really like the classic rock and blues influences, although some of the songs dragged on a bit too long for my liking -Favorites are Done Somebody Wrong

Too long a guitar solos on this album

Gentle, friendly pub music

The ALL-MAN BROTHERS? Pass!

Excellent vibes! Didn’t pay too close attention but would certainly revisit this and jam out

This is a great album. It wasn’t easy to listen through in one day. It’s a 2+ hour album with long solos and jams. It would have been awesome to see these guys live, which is probably the best way to experience a jam band.

Like everyone said, why the live album? Allman brothers are good but live albums are a weird choice.

I don’t understand the reason why live albums are on this listing. I can understand why the Allman Brothers Band would be on the list, as they are phenomenal. Three stars for the ABB, but not for a live album

I wish this wasn't a live album because I think I would enjoy it more.

Very bluesy. Good. 3*

1. track 1 - blues, good but generic. as blues usually is.

Fun throwback

Statesboro Blues 9/10 would use in a film Done Somebody Wrong 7/10 Stormy Monday 6/10 You Don’t Love Me 6/10 Hot Lanta 6.5/10 In memory of Elizabeth reed 7/10 whipping post 8.5/10

im scared I'll hear whipping post in my sleep Statesboro Blues 6/10 Done Sombody Wrong 8/10 Stormy Monday 8/10 You Don't Love Me 9/10 Hot 'Lanta 8/10 In Memory of Elizabeth Reed 7/10 Whipping Post 10/10

I like the music, but this album is too long for me.

I'm not the biggest fan of extended "jam band" live albums, but I have to admit I did like this one pretty well. My main issue with it is that it just... keeps... going, and I'm not sure what the destination is.

6/10

solid blues rock album, can get boring at points due to jammy nature

I have this on vinyl. Never listened to it but I know these guys. They are so solid, classic rock, southern rock as it gets.

Fantastic musicianship, but for me this was a pretty boring listen. Many guitar solos that kinda droned on, which probably would've been 10x more exciting in person. This felt like more of a jam session than a live show.

This was a perfect 3 for me. I can see the quality both in the musicianship the sound recording and the form is at a very high quality. It ticked along very nicely in the background and wasn't offensive at all. But I don't really need many 11 minute blues/rock jam songs in my life so a whole album was plenty. I can imagine this is the holy grail if you play and are into this kind of music. For me it was a pleasant hour and into the next one.

Jam session. 3.4.

Started off good but felt a little long for me. Personal enjoyment: 3/5 Relevance to this list: 4/5

Every song was way too long for me. Didn’t need half of the songs to be over 15 minutes

Jam band

Not in the habit of listening to live albums, but will admit this sounded great. Started off well but dragged towards the end—I get that you can play the guitar great man, but I want to listen to something else at some point today.

Pretty good. It does suffer a bit from songs going a bit too long, but that's sort of the nature of live albums. The guitar work by Betts and Allman is great tho. 3.5/5

statesboro blues

tenendo a mente il concetto di "jam band", tutto ha senso. mi spiace perchè abbiamo ascoltato questo album registrato, ma secondo me live avrebbe spaccato e sarebbe stato molto più coinvolgente, questa è letteralmente musica che devi sentire con il corpo e la mente mentre te la suonano davanti. bravi, molto, sarebbe nettamente un quattro, ma non posso perchè non sono live. sad.

Ok, ma anche meno.

Insomma okay, musicalmente è senz’altro carino e non ho nessuna critica concreta se non che sto diventando insofferente ad album di questo genere. Non so proprio che voto dare

Empieza con un sólido 4, pero los temas largos son un plomo.

I like the jam sessions, but it doesn't feel like a "must listen" album, even though I really like The Allman Brothers' sound.

This and the Grateful Dead live album back to back is too much.

This is what a jam album should sound like, though I’m still not a huge fan of the endless meandering. Thankfully everything is in time and in key, it just goes on too long. I did like the old school blues covers. “Hot ‘Lanta” is a jam, and that’s about the length of blues improv can take. I know why they play so long, having played in bands with dead heads and the like, it’s fun to just jam over 12 bar blues and most of all it’s easy to sound good while doing it. The runtime is too long for me but I bet it was fun to be insanely baked or otherwise altered and be at this show. I’d put this on while doing something else no problem.

I’m gonna shit my pants on live tv if the next album is infected with jam band crap Good otherwise

Listened to this while gardening and never went to change it once. It has a nice groove and felt better then yesterday's Grateful Dead album.

are you fucking kidding me i already listened to this bitch ass busted ass album

Another live album. This one is a blues rock jam of mostly covers that is a bit too self indulgent for my tastes. I enjoyed the tracks that were shorter, had vocals, and included organ solos. The others were bit too samey after awhile. I don't think I'll be re-visiting this album in the future and none of the tracks made into my regular rotation. I've already got plenty of blues covers in my collection already.

-Great instrumentation. - Classic blues album. -Not my favorite genre of music, but definitely solid playing. -Some nice blues melodies, very well recorded. Easy to vibe with. -Great ending, quite drawn out.

Good if you like blues

Not bad

This was some quite nice sounding music. Pretty relaxing and groovy.

Live album, always a weird choice

Ok for a live album. The jams were too long and became tedious.

More lounge jam than swamp jam but could imagine landing my Huey in a hot LZ with this blasting out.

Not a bad listen. Classic American rock and blues. Good to listen to on a summer road trip I guess. Worthy of 3 stars

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: You don’t love me, In memory of Elizabeth Reed

Excellent guitar work but I must say that everything was instantly forgettable. Obviously highly talented, but kind of a a slog to sit through a 25 minute guitar recital. 2.5

Live albums aren’t for me

I guess the blue rock sound was pioneered by these guys. The problem is I'm not a fan of blues rock, probably because so many later bands sound exactly the same as this. It sounds great for a live album, but it just doesn't keep my interest very well. The last song was my favorite because it embraces the sort of background ambient music lane that the genre seems geared toward.

13min songs are not for me

"At Fillmore East" contains some wonderful blues-rock-jams, is musically great and has got a pretty good recording quality. I rate it down because I generally question live-albums on this list knowing this is probably the only way to capture a jam session. And maybe two 20-minutes-songs are too much?!

Can't place my finger on it but I really didn't like the first 3 tracks. Really enjoyed tracks 4,5,6 & 7 It's live jamming, so just some fun energy.

Definitely Allman Brothers all the way!!

It's a blues album but nothing special.

The first half hour while I was walking the dog in the sun were great. But then the album never ended. I am still listening to it.

Great musicians. It’s just a shame the the production is very subpar. 3 stars

That is certainly a jam album. I’m usually not a huge fan of that type of music. I like the lyrics, I like the voices. Some of that was very good. Just like I love Dave Matthew’s, but at concerts, those jams can get really long. This is one great big live jam… don’t love it…but they are good.

The guitarist is great. The drums are good and I am sure this is better live then in the office while working in excel.

Solid southern rock jams

cool!

Deece

Still not the biggest fan of live albums, but this was listenable. Pure 70s through and through.

This is fine. A live album from the early 70's is bound to sound not great, but the Allmans can shred and Whipping Post is a jam.

De la grosse guitare, du gros jam de 1971. Ce devait être un méchant show de voir ça en live. Des chansons un peu trop longues par contre. 2.5 arrondi en 3

Long jam session, cool but also annoying and boring at times... It's ok...

You know I had it in mind to be severe with this, as when I ripped it had only a single CD's worth I could find a decade ago. But I'm at work ripping through tedious admin like bank details and budgets and some mellow endless shredding is exactly what works. So a solid three stars. Sitting down and listening to it without having something else to do would however be surely banned under the Geneva Convetnion.

Honestly, I was expecting some old timey tunes I wouldnt enjoy. Instead, the beats felt fresh, upbeat, and lively! I enjoyed the Allman Brothers and will check them out further going forward!

I almost really like this but the aimless jamming just goes one for a bit too long.

It's fine!

I like the music and the musicians are great. However, live albums are not quite my thing, especially when the songs end up as 24 minute-long jams. Which might be cool if you're at the concert, but not when you're listening at home.

Cute, stille og rolig jam. Sindssygt ift. at det er et live album, kan man ikke høre. fint 3/5 :)

Still against live albums being on the list, but - dang - this one's good. Love the Allman Brothers. Wish I coulda been there.

A classic live album that showcases how good a jam band can be. The Allman's always had a welcoming sound but you feel it doubly on their love tracks

Heh tällä possulla 20 cm rasvaa.. hurja kerros heh.. Tuhtia kamaa..

The Allman Brothers Band is one of those groups that never really compelled me to want to listen to anything beyond their greatest hits if anything at all. Overall this album was OK to good but didn't change my mind about them.

Classic southern rock/jam/blues. I suppose they were an early trendsetter for the genre. It's good, but gets redundant after a while. Not sure we need a 23 minute version of one song -- and that's coming from someone who likes electronic music. Probably better to either a) be there in person, or b) leave it play in the background while doing something else. 3.5

It was a fun listen, I don't think I'm gonna come back to it soon, but it was an awesome experience. The last two tracks were my favorite.

Decent album. My favourites were the longer tracks, but at the same time I felt they were dragging on sometimes.

I do love a live album, I think they’re better when you know the songs originally. That being said a very cool album, something I might listen to again. Lots of long guitar solos but they are interesting and easy to listen too.

*loudly over the guitars to the guy next to me* Wow, this band is great! *inaudible* What? *inaudible* We’re only on song five?!

Live albums. They’re good. But this one was rough.

Niet heel slecht, maar soms wel veel lawaai zeg. Jammer ook van die paar achterlijk lange nummers

Eh

Sounds good, still not to much interesting for me

Though it has only seven songs, this album is almost a hour and twenty minutes long. Proto-rock and roll, following normal chord changes. Great vocals. Feels sort of dusty and absent, like a shipping crate on the shore.

Good southern rock Jam. My favorite Allman, Duane, died far to young. But this is a good blues jam.

Should be good How the ever living fuck is this on the list but eat a peach isn’t? Listened to both today, eat a peach is a master piece and I might consider giving it a five, this is also cool but for some reason I’ve always found it hard to really get into any legendary live albums, I like the refined sound of a a studio more I guess. This is good jam music, probably better than the dead, but I don’t find this stuff super weighty. It’s fucking great but I still think it’s a 3 based on the criterion I’m still developing. Sorry Duane :(

Very impressive musicianship on display here. Opens with the two worst tracks, which are mostly standard blues fare. The rest of the songs are more exciting. Definitely leaves you wanting a nice structured 3-minute song.

I'm not going to accuse this of onanism but it's 2 hours long and has a drum solo in it. The sort of album that's going to score big here.

I'm just not into screaming guitar blues jams.

Nfm

Was okay, but too much impro solos. Why a live album again?

Some veeeeeeeery long solos. I like Chicago / Driving Blues generally but still a bit self indulgent noodly album.

Fantastic!

3.5

I'm a Dead/Phish fan and generally enjoy the jamband genere, as well as psychRock and baroque pop. The Allman brothers style of blues jmimg has never resonated with me. The same droning bass line and drum beat for 8+ min as blues scales screech over top gets boring very quickly. Say what you will about the Dead, but at least thier sonic landscape changed constantly throughout a performance. And oh yeah, live albums suck

As far as live albums go, this one sounds great and features some virtuosic playing. But, the extremely long jam tracks just aren’t my thing.

It gets 3 stars for Whipping Post

Pretty sure my dad listened to this growing up. It’s good, enjoyable. The extended jam band songs aren’t really my thing, but I can appreciate how talented they are.

Powerful

i can see why people appreciate it but personally not for me

I really don't care about live albums for bands i don't already know. Still looking forward to hearing some studio recordings of these guys, but still..find it hard to get excited here

While I recognize the talent, its just not for me. I've learned I prefer more structure in music and less so jam sets like this. 3/5

I can appreciate it, but not really for me.

a little better than normal 3.5

These guys are very musically talented but a live album that is basically a very long jam session is hard to love. Still some great parts scattered through though.

Good music. Not a fan of jam bands or live albums though but still enjoyed it

The songs are good and the musicians are clearly excellent, but live albums are not my thing

Classic Southern Rock Album with Super Long Tracks and jam sessions

There’s no denying The Allman Brothers Band’s vast breadth and depth of musicianship, but I’m more or less immune to the charms of blues-based Southern rock bands.

Track 1: fun song to listen to while cooking. Track 2: kinda made me think of the hokie pokie rhythm. Track 3: fun little jam sesh Track 4: very long jam sesh pretty good Track 5: pretty fun song but it’s more of back ground stuff for me. Track 6: I like the vibe it’s going for Track 7: very much another jam song. Overall 5.6/10. It’s a good jam session, but it gets too long to the point where it’s kinda droning. Not my favorite thing but I can put on the background of stuff.

blues rock, rock blues.... never been a favorite, but they are good

If you like some guitar solos, some of them very long, then this album is for you. I like some guitar riffs form time to time. It's a pleasure to listen if the guy playing really knows what he is doing.

ein gutes Blues-Jam-Album - gut hat aber auch seine längen.

Okay but probably wouldn’t listen to this album again

Good, but looong riffs for someone listening in earnest for the first time. Weird attitude about “young women” too 😬

Some songs dragged on but overall, I enjoyed the album, but I don't think I'm going to listen to this again anytime soon.

Southern blues rock. Solid musicianship, decent recording.

Discos ao vivo sempre podem ser mais "dificeis" de se assimilar. Tive uma boa experiencia com esse aqui. Apesar de não conhecer quase nada da banda, apenas com a primeira audição as guitarras em praticamente todas as faixas me chamaram muita atenção.

Grand. Very Bluesy.

Better than what we’ve had lately, but I can only hear so many 5+ minute solos before it gets repetitive. Add in the production quality of a live album and this just doesn’t quite make the cut as a great record for me. High 3.

I love rock. I love guitars and this band has two of them on lead. I love drums and this band has two of them. And yet I've never been a fan of the Allman Brothers and I don't love this album. I don't hate it either, but it didn't captivate me. Maybe it's a problem of listening to a recording of something live, rather than being there live myself. But I don't feel the energy of the crowd. They can jam, which is admirable because it means they can just go off and yet follow each other and make it sound cohesive. But at some level it's just a bunch of songs that go on too long. I'd say at best a 3.5 and I just can't round up.

Another one ITunes didn’t have. So I went and listened to Idlewild South, which should encompass much of the live show. Nice little album. Some range.

3.0 For me, this is a case of too much of a good thing. The songs and jams have way more depth than a standard 12 bar blues and there are some pretty jazzy bass drum and keyboard parts. But the extended guitar wanking was a bit much. My opinion might change after I get through whipping post in a day or two.

obviously excellent musicians but the extended guitar solos can get a little repetitive after awhile. You lose track of what song you were actually listening too.

Bonne découverte ! 2,5

At Fillmore East Am familiar with it and aware it’s supposed to be one of the best live albums ever. I do like the Allman Brothers and southern rock in general, and they do sound fantastic, but there is A LOT of noodling. Hot Lanta and Whipping post are great. However apart from Get your Ya Yas Out and Live at Leeds I’m not a big fan of live albums, I’d rather listen to the recorded versions of songs or watch a video of a live performance, and on balance I think I’d rather listen to their first two albums or Eat a Peach ⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s a great jam for a train ride, but this was ment to be enjoyed live I think.

Good but you could have taken off HALF of this project and gotten the same result.

Quite chill, we liked it. Would listen again.

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

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

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

The guitar that keeps on going

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

Statesboro blues - 3 Done somebody wrong - 3 Stormy Monday - 3 You don't love me - 2 Hot 'lanta - 3 In memory of Elizabeth - 4 Whipping post - 3 3 - all around flood album to listen to

05/14/24 S Tier—————————5 A Tier—————————4 Done Somebody Wrong Statesboro Blues B Tier—————————3 Hot Lanta Stormy Monday In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed Whipping Post You Don't Love Me C Tier—————————2 D Tier—————————1

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

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

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

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

Great blues live album.

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

Murica

By the end, i was a fan

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

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

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

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

Langdradig, en niet echt een toevoeging

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

they were cooking here. but maybe a little too much

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

Well rounded blues album with some jazz sprinkled in. 3.5

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

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

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

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

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

Solid

ok, long songs

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

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

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

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

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

TOO LONG. It’s a 2.5.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Blues Rock, gefällt durchaus

Blues rock live jam session. Not for me

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

didn't really have any opinions its alright

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

Ehhh

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

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

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