At Fillmore East
Description
This Allman Brothers classic comes home to Capricorn
Records sporting remastering from the original master tapes and packaging
authentic to the original LP release (2 complete LPs on 1 CD). Tracks:
“Statesboro Blues,” “Done Somebody Wrong,” “Stormy Monday,” “You Don’t Love
Me,” “Hot ‘Lanta,” “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” and “Whipping Post.”
There has never been a better showcase for improvisational rock
than this 1971 concert recording, and few (if any) live rock albums are in its
rank. With only two studio albums (and plenty of touring) under their belt,
the Georgia sextet tore into the Fillmore East with road-tested buoyancy.
Titanic guitarist Duane Allman was at the peak of his powers, pushing his
foil, Dickey Betts, to unsurpassed peaks. Vocalist-keyboardist Gregg Allman
would have been a star in any other setting; here he’s merely one more
component in a brilliant ensemble. Duane Allman died shortly after At Fillmore
East shipped, and the Brothers haven’t scaled such heights since. But, then,
neither has anyone else. –Steven Stolder
