A nice copy of a terrific LP.
Background: The Allman Brothers at Fillmore East is rightly regarded as one of the best live albums ever, by anyone, and is certainly the highlight of the Allman Brothers’ career. This was the album that made the band famous, and it was, for many years, the only available live recording of the band with Duane Allman, who died not long after the album’s release.
While the album has had several reissues over the years by various audiophile labels, the 1982 issue by long-defunct Nautilus Records was the first, and it’s a great-sounding set.
Originally released in 1971, The Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East was the third album by the group and their first LP to achieve widespread success, reaching #13 on the U.S. charts.
Allmusic.com gave The Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East a 5 star review:
Whereas most great live rock albums are about energy, At Fillmore East is like a great live jazz session, where the pleasure comes from the musicians’ interaction and playing…. this original double album remains the pinnacle of the Allmans and Southern rock at its most elastic, bluesy, and jazzy.
