The Allman Brothers Band - The Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East (Live) [Deluxe Edition] Album

The Allman Brothers Band Live at the Filmore East album is such a brilliant example of live, improvisational music, it's no wonder the disc made VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Rock and Roll Albums. Here you have an unparalleled blend of jazz, blues and southern rock in one hour and eighteen minutes of driven delight. The concert at Filmore East, New York in July '71 shows the Allmans playing tighter than any band before or since. There are three long improvisational pieces on here, all exceeding 10 minutes—"You Don't Love Me," "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed," and an incredible 23-minute rendition of "Whipping Post." The miraculous thing is that none of these songs drag or feels overly long. This album, simply put, rocks.
