This band, those members, during those days..... I am so friggin' glad they recorded their music. After listening to these guys for 40 years now, I still get goose bumps.
Everything I've heard said here about 'Fillmore' is right on; the greatest live recording I've ever heard, and Stormy Monday is fantastic. I played it one night in my car for my 80 year old mother, and now she's an Allman Brothers fan too! These guys were masters at a young age, and nobody's touched SkyDog yet.
I relize that Duane is gone. I've been a fan since 1971. My comment was only that at the time of this recording ,Gregg was only 23. That's all. There is only a handful of singers that at that age showed this much soul and skill singing the blues. Peace.
If this is Dec 1970 Gregg would have just turned 23. What a soulful blues voice for a yougster. Dickey was the oldest at 27. What a sound, what a band. Long live the ABB
this is amzing but i think the best version they do is live at the atlanta internatiuonal pop festival... Duane takes the solo for a solid 3 minutes and wails like few can... a great album... wail on Skydog!
It's hard to believe that this was recorded nearly 40 years ago! Stormy Monday, Liz Reed, Whipping Post , are all classics in Rock n Roll. The Allman Brother's set the stage and bar for live Rock n Roll. I had 2 copies of Live At The Filmore, and wore both of them out!
This isn't the one on the original Fillmore East live album. The solos on the live album version was tighter and more melodically fluid, both Duane's and DIcky's. Those were the best blues solos I have ever heard on any live album.
This is blues so heartfelt it's as good as the best soul. And the keyboard solo sounds like good jazz! In the early 1970s top rock bands could play in all sorts of styles because they were intelligent, exploratory musicians. Unlike, say, Bono and his strictly 'rock' band.
Haha i know all about that certain some1. Every time my brother and I play a show he yells freebird, and not even in a joking around way either he just wants to hear it. LOL
I have this on the Allman Brothers' double CD--its name escapes me right now. It's the greatest version of this song I ever heard. T Bone Walker wrote it and it's immersed in black experience, but in the American south, culture was very much class based, class being second only to race in influencing common experience, and it shows in this operatically magnificent version.
The name of the double album to which you refer is Live at Fillmore East. Rolling Stone magazine regards it as the greatest live recording of all time. It sits in the Library of Congress along with other important artifacts of American music.
You're not kidding. That album smokes. You can listen to it over and over again and it never gets old. The "Elizabeth Reed" alone makes it worth hearing. I've heard the remastered version which is good but you can't beat the original.
This may have been recorded at George Mason University in December of 1970, about 3 months before Fillmore East, I sho do miss ole "Sky Dog", he was a pioneer, all who followed are settlers
Blues, blues and more blues...the Allman Brothers...what an honor to sing them with Deadbolt...watch after the summer for this up and coming band

That's a great version, agreed. Dickey & Duane can't do no wrong. That version of Whipping Post is unreal, also.

Allmans' version, in many aspects is a true showcase of musical taste: What and
when to play or un-play, when to tighten up and strike or retreat. I don't remember
anything that even comes close.

THANKS! Good to hear the full version and the mix is much better, IMO. Duane and Dickey's tones are heaven! Whew!
impala327 3 years ago
Also, check out how Dickey stretches out the notes ever-so-slightly over the bar lines in the first chorus of his solo...brilliant.

It sounds like it but on my CD this song stops in the middle of Duane's solo. This version goes on to the end.
