Album Description
Made up of two 1971 (March 12 & 13 along with June 27) visits by Les Brers to New York, 'The Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East' has long been regarded as one of rock's great live albums, but portions of those legendary performances have also wound up on albums like 'Eat A Peach' (the awesome, half-hour 'Mountain Jam') & the Duane Allman anthology. Now, for the first time, all recordings (in their original mixes) lifted from the Fillmore East dates have been assembled together into a two disc double gatfold digipak package with a slipcase boasting rare photos, notes & over two hours of some of the finest musicianship & improvisation in all of rock. 13 tracks. Mercury.

I was listening to these guys when Dwayne was alive and playing. It is by far the BEST PURE music I've ever heard the Bros. play. BUY IT!
The Best Album In History, Period. September 26, 2008
Samuel Stockstill (Vicksburg, MS USA)
I was introduce to the Allman Brothers at an early age, as my parents are hippies. I'm not, though, however, I was lucky to have them as a musical influence on me. This album tops them all in my book. No group will ever be able to compose something like this ever again, and I think its this fact that is leads some people to not like it. The Allman Brothers really set the bar in the early 70's for future bands. They still tour today, but without Berry, Dickie, and most of all the greatest guitarist that ever lived, Duane Allman. Few bands pursue this form of music because no one will ever top the Allman Brothers. I believe people are just jealous and this causes them to not like the Allman Brothers. I don't really blame them. I play slide guitar and I know I'll never come close to playing like Duane, but every time I turn this album on my ears have orgasms. This was the first album my parents gave me, and I plan on giving it to my children as soon as they can comprehend what music is. If you're thinking about buying it, you shouldn't think twice, just do it. You'll thank me later, and probably see me or my parents at the next Allman Brothers concert. Peace.

I remember the original vinyl album coming out in 1971. I listened to it many times and enjoyed the long versions of several songs including Whipping Post.
The CD came out and several songs were missing and I was disappointed.
Now we have a more complete ( if not complete version ) of the entire concert.
The duel guitars of Duanne Allman and Dicky Betts actually playing lead harmonies was something I dont remember hearing before this came out.
On the liner notes is says the Allman Brothers closed the Fillmore East, what a way to close it out.
If you want to listen to the Allman Brothers you need to get this expanded version, the abbreviated version is good but its like taking a shower with your clothes on, it just dont get it.
This is the finest hour of the Allman Brothers, unfortunatley just before Duannes' untimely death. Duanne is at his very best and plays possibly the best slide guitar I have ever heard, except for possibly Derek Trucks, who ironically is with the Allman Brothers currently. This is a classic to say the least.......................
The only one to buy August 14, 2008
T. Parkman (Berkley, Massachusetts United States)
This is the original recording from the LP years ago Remastered. The other versions available are chopped up and not complete. I owned the LP version as a kid and this is the one to buy with all the expanded jams that go on upwards of a half hour.[..]
The Allman Brothers Band at its very best July 22, 2008
Tony Howard (Fort Walton Beach, Florida United States)
This is the one with Statesboro Blues. Recorded live over several nights at New York's Fillmore East in March 1971, this is the album that provided the Allman Brothers their first big break. It captures the original six-piece band firing on all cylinders in their natural environment, the concert stage. The Brothers could record three to five-minute studio songs fairly well, but this album catches the Brothers at their improvisational best. The original release contained only seven songs, but two of those songs stretched out over nineteen minutes [You Don't Love Me, Whipping Post], a third song goes thirteen minutes [In Memory of Elizabeth Reed], and there's one eight-minute slow blues tune from T-Bone Walker [Stormy Monday]. There was so much material recorded during these shows, some of the songs had to be held over for the next ABB album, Eat a Peach. Those songs included the Muddy Waters tune Trouble No More, the epic thirty-three minute Mountain Jam, and the Sonny Boy Williamson song that got me hooked on the Allman Brothers in the first place, One Way Out. The live songs from Eat a Peach have since been included on the deluxe version of Fillmore East. This gives the listener the full audio experience of what an Allman Brothers concert was like in the early 1970s. You don't get to see the light show or the "twirlers" in the audience, but you don't get the "contact high" from all the secondhand marijuana smoke either. This album is simply the Allman Brothers Band at its very best.
