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

Well, Album Club is a great idea. So thanks for that. Only I am quite far behind!

This one pleasantly surprised me. The odds were against it. I am not really aware of The Allman Brothers material, I tend to listen to Blues as background music rather than engage with it, and for the most part I prefer studio albums to live albums.

I found myself foot tapping my way through this album. And rather than drifting off, as a few posters have suggested they did, during the self-indulgent jam sessions mid track, these bits just encouraged the tapping to include fingers and toes.

Having only heard this album once, I am not jumping about with excitement, but I am now interested in hearing some more...

So, how are they in the studio? Or should I just buy this one?

'Eat a Peach' is my favourite Allmans album, but that's half live, half studio!
