Allman Brothers at Fillmore East - Greatest Live Album Ever? (Classic Album Review)

Comments

I was in a band, on the road with a group of musicians. We hauled around a Marshall Stack and a B3. It was early 70s and the band played Whipping Post. We listened to this album all the time. And we anticipated and listened to Eat a Peace when it came out. I can’t tell you how sad it was. Our bass play who was also a Dickey was killed in a car accident! The Road is a tough world! But the songs live on! I probably have every lick on this album seared in my memory! I got to see the Allman Brothers play later when Greg was with Cher. She was cool. I was backstage but they wouldn’t let us go up to the stage, it was an outdoor venue. But I asked Cher and she took me up the stairs and on the stage with her. Life is all about the moments. And for a short period in time, this band created some of the greatest musical moments, a legacy for the ages! Thanks for the great review! I learned some things I didn’t know about the Allman Brothers. Also I just have to say Greg’s voice! Extraordinary!

I went to see a band called Hustle Fuzz live a few years ago and the last song they played was Whipping Post. I never got to see the Allman Brothers because they played in Europe only once and that was in the 70's. So it was a great thrill to hear that song live. Fillmore East definitely is one of the greatest albums ever made.
