    Default Album Club: 10.08.2011: Allman Brothers - Live at Fillmore East (1971) (vinyl,cd)



    Spotify Link: http://open.spotify.com/album/35w2w6W38bXCo4bG1akRe9 (Note from Alex_UK: Unfortunately it appears that Spotify does not support the "long" tracks of this album... I am trying to see if I can find any alternative streams - this is the best so far, though not the actual album: http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/concer...rtID=1656|7096 )

    Wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_Fillmore_East

    I've decided to go for what I think is a classic album.

    the reason is that I don't really do classics but I love this album to pieces. It catches the classic line up with Duane and Gregg Allman along with Dickie Betts taking their music from the record and making them feel so fresh and involved. Taking songs and expanding them almost improv style and keeping your attention - there's a couple of very long tracks on there.

    I don't think there's another album I've bought more versions of. Originally it was released as a double cd set and then re-issued with the same music all on one CD, when cd time approached 80 mins. Classic reissued it on double vinyl and subsequently a Deluxe CD version has been released with the cirrect running order and with all the tracks from the concert.

    Due to the lenght of a some of the songs the running order was never correct on vinyl to allow.

    Duane Allman was best known, I think at the time, for Derek and The Dominoes and he was a talent sadly cut short.

    John and I will have another trawl around this evening to see if we can find any better versions of the longer songs, but I think what we've got should be enough to give everyone a reasonable listen.

    Wow .. what a great start ... simply one of the top 3 BEST EVER live albums ... I've been listening to this since almost the day of it's release in 1971 and I've still got my first LP copy of this which must be 39 yrs old now !! ( couldn't aford it until 73' haha! )

    I guess we are not supposed to comment just yet .. but I can already feel this choice inspiring me to head for Ebay and search out some more versions of this album .. ....

    A good album choice, if you don't mind me saying.

    Right then - the whole album is available legally on Grooveshark & you don't need to join or register. However, the sound quality is not as good as the Spotify version but at least you get to hear it all.
    Here are the links:

    Statesboro Blues
    Done Somebody Wrong
    Stormy Monday
    You Don't Love Me
    Hot 'lanta

    .........enjoy!
