Statesboro Blues/Done Somebody Wrong/Stormy Monday/You Don't Love Me/Hot 'Lanta/In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed/Whipping Post
Double live album from the premier Southern rock band The Allman Brothers. As well as being critically acclaimed At Fillmore East featured the original lineup before tragedy struck. (US:13)
“This album is pure brilliance, not only the guitar exchange the stage, but the rhythm never misses a beat. Just take a listen at In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, one of the many climaxes of the album. You've got that jazzy feeling at the back and screaming guitars at front.”
“Live At Fillmore East is quite simply a cornerstone of rock. It's definitely rock ‘n’ roll, but it's also part southern boogie, the ultimate peak of live showmanship, and even has a lot in common with classic jazz; it's impossible to categorize. It's easily one of most flawless and inventive live recordings even committed to tape; the Duane Allman's guitar solos and slide are absolutely perfect and awe inspiring. The group as a whole was so good in this performance, so in-tune with each other's strengths that listening to this is nearly a religious experience.”
“Their mixture of blues, southern rock and jazz still penetrates the soul of any listener who dares to draw near this piece of living history. There must have been something in the air to endow this double album with such fire, warmth and strength. There's enough proof of Duane Allman's unlimited skills in his invaluable duels with Dickie Betts. Yet, there are not only incandescent guitars on this record. Keyboards flow as guided from a far-away paradise, and the rest of the accompaniment shines as possessed by an indescribable light.”
“It's absolutely brilliant, breathtaking, and entrancing, the most amazing blend of rock, blues, and jazz I've ever heard. The musicianship here is probably unparalleled in the history of rock music. And these guys played with the improvisational genius and intensity of our greatest of jazzmen.”
“At Fillmore East is the pinnacle of The Allmans career. A very dynamic live album with long blues jams, great solos and a very nice atmosphere. It does not matter if the songs last four minutes or near twenty like You Don't Love Me, they all sound very dynamic and tight.”
