Evangelismbookstore.com essential recording |

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 |

One Of The All-Time Iconic Live Albums Of The 1970's!! |
If I had $10 for every musician or good music lover
who has told me how pivotal this album was in their
development/appreciation, I would easily have one hell of a
financial nest egg! (-:
The musicianship is stellar, the soul factor that comes
out of the speakers is palpable, the vocals are warm and funky,
you just can't cut it in anyway! (-:
I first heard this album as a child...it was one of my uncle's
prized albums. I've probably heard this album over 2000 times in
my 46 years, and it sounds just as fresh and still moves me to this day!
There was a period between age 17 and age 36, where I had moved
on to exploring other genres of music and I had kind of left this
gem behind. But a gem is a gem!--It's timeless and never loses it's value.
I revisited this incredible album at age 36 and was immediately taken
back to my childhood in the 70's, playing guitar and piano and singing
along with one of the baddest bands of the 70's....The Allman Brothers.
Nowdays, I play it at least twice a month and have turned
my nephews (who are now picking up instruments) on to it
the same way that my uncle did for me back in the 70's.
So check it out, if you haven't heard it already,
because it's a gift that keeps on giving! (-: |

One of the greatest albums ever |
|
I don't have anything to add over the other reviews. This is really one of the greatest albums ever made. If you are an Allman Bros. fan, or even if you are not, get this album. You won't regret it. |

This is not the Fillmore East CD. |
This is not the Fillmore East CD. It's a rip off of the Fillmore East CD. The Fillmore cd is a double cd. The Allman Brothers Band was one of the greatest bands in history. Some hot-shot producer apparently wanted to make some quick money watering down one of the greatest live cds ever recorded for the lame and dull witted pop lovers.
Anyone who loves the Allman brothers should be rightfully furious over such an insult to such great musicans. If you really want to hear the Fillmore East cd, then get the double cd. |

Live record for the ages.... |
The very first time I Heard to "Statesboro blues", from live at fillmore, I was 15 years old...( Knowing nothing about The Allman's and less about the blues). I was just amazed and wondering how the guitar player and the singer were having that dialogue, and I already had read something about it like "A blues lesson". So I started to listen to the "blues". Nowadays , everything has been told about this record...
After all these years (I am 45 years old now) it is simple... The best "live record" of rock and roll history. But if you did not have experience nothing like I did with "STATESBORO", no problem, "STORM MONDAY" , "YOU DON'T LOVE ME" (at the final minutes Duane delivers his best solo ever)and the rest of "AT FILLMORE" are the live document of what one of the best blues/rock/jazz(a pinch) bands of the history could make on stage at that time.

Incredible |
|
To be succinct, this album is incredible. From the first notes of Statesboro Blues to every single part of THE live version of Elizabeth Reed, this album is not to be missed. Period. Absolutely one of the most important live albums in rock music. |
