The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East (live album) by The Allman Brothers Band

What a phenomenal display of instrumentation this album is with there being some of the greatest ever live performances on this release. The peak of these for me is the outstanding Duane Allman on guitar which is a thing of pure beauty. His solos are absolutely stunning and they make me fall in love with music all over again whenever I hear them. The quality he puts out on this record might be the greatest live performance that has been recorded and it deserves to be admired. Especially, on Whipping Post as he commands that song from beginning to end. It is not just him that is brilliant either as the rest of the group demonstrate their mastery on their instruments as well with another highlight for me being the dual drummers. This is a unique thing to see on a record as well and it works perfectly on here. To add to this, there is a powerful vocal performance from Gregg Allman whose voice goes under appreciated in my opinion. Overall, if you want to see the highest quality instrumental performance possible then look no further than this album as it is overflowing with brilliance.

Very strong live album that is commonly recognized as one of the best of all time. Listen to the first four tracks if you want jamming blues cover, listen to the last three if you want incredible guitar-filled originals.

My track score for this album is 92.14 and it's placed in my top albums chart @ 34th. My rating is 95

I see it held in high regard and can understand that. It doesn't quite land for me though - I have enjoyed some of this southern rock stuff - but I appreciate this is not my most liked area of music and therefore I don't invest as much in it

The music and style were amazing for the era in time; a combination of southern rock, blues, and amazing twin guitar lead soloing. It's an incredible excursion from beginning to end. Great musicianship.

Fantastic live blues/jazz

Ramblin Jammin jazzy southern rock and roll and blues

Not my favorite assemblage of Allmans songs, but the music is fire.

Simply one of the greatest live albums of all time. You can tell they were having so much fun and there was so much passion. Sad that most of them are dead now.
