Right on. I love that a new generation is appreciating great music from another generation. It trouble me slightly that they are getting such a very small taste of something so great. This is an example of that. I really hope this guy takes the time to get into the whole album. Truly a great experience everyone deserves to experience.
Duane Allman was absolutely amazing, if you cover Layla by Clapton guess who is playing the main riff. Such a tight band caught live here, oh what could have been.
You're dead-on with your assessment of where Duane's solo ranks in the rock pantheon. You're also right about his work on Stormy, but Dickey fully matches him there.
Without question. That was an organic, titanic orgasmic piece of time that shall never be duplicated ever again. Thank the dear Lord in Heaven, that someone had the good sense to make it immortal, by recording it.
"Live at the Fillmore East," by The Allman Brothers Band, is a transcendent experience. It's up there with a great performance of a Beethoven symphony, or with a fiery Miles Davis or John Coltrane concert, or... you name it! Check out the whole album. To really get the *complete* experience, you should also hear the "Eat A Peach" album which followed, as much of it was also taken from these same concerts.
One of the great live albums in rock history. Like the drumming? There are two drummers/percussionists in this band to go along with multiple guitarists.
Check out Duane's work with Aretha Franklin, "It Ain't Fair", this would before the Allman Brothers Band. Also his work on Wilson Pickett's cover of Beatles Hey Jude. Note: the sax on Aretha's tune is the great King Curtis, who had Hendrix as guitar player. Enjoy kid.
Saw them 3 straight years during their annual 2 week "residency" at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan in the late 90's. Always mesmerized by Dickey Betts, especially "Jessica". Didn't smoke, but the contact highs were memorable those nights, unavoidable but welcomed. What a live act.
@@daveking9393 Well, when we do meet up eventually for a show, you'll see I'm actually not as stuffy as I was in my late thirties. I'm a relic now- light it up!
Great choice. What can I say? It’s the Allmans live in 1971. There are other live recordings from this tour on youtube in various levels of sound quality but the band was on fire every night. The Fillmore East had its own character and basically any performance by anyone at that venue is probably worth checking out. I’m wondering if this the same version thats on the Live at Filmore album. Sounds different but it could be me.
This may be one of the only instrumentals I've seen here. For more instrumental fun, try The J. Geils Band performing Whammer Jammer. Killer harmonica in that one. Peace.
Wall to wall sound. I guess I've been blessed to have seen them in their original configuration twice back in '70/'71. No, no guessing....I was blessed.
Listen to S .U.N.Y. at stonybrook New York 1971. Duane again takes the second half lead. The song IMHO is better than Filmore East 1971. The second show at Fillmore better than the first. Those days bands did 2 shows same night. Double headers
Everyone on the comments seem to overlook the great guitarist and composer of this instrumental. Shame, Betts is an amazing composer and guitarist. He just didn't die young.
Anyone who says this isn't the greatest jam in the history of Rock music doesn't know his ass from his elbow, and you should turn away from that person IMMEDIATELY.
Not that it's bad, but Greg Allman's voice added little enjoyment to listening to this band. His bluessy organ playing was wonderful. The best of this album are the two instrumentals, this one, and "Hot "Lanta" that precedes it. Arguably the best album side, ever.
I can tate this in ONE place ONLY...still the best song ever made in musical history and the last thing I want to hear before I leave this earth if given the choice...
In those days nobody cared if the guitars went off pitch and the tempo slides around as the rhythm sometimes goes a little floppy, because it was all about the feeling and the energy, once the audience and the band get in sync, they can play Elizabeth Reed for an hour because that’s what we were there for, not a stage show but an experience and a real good time. Oh and it was all incredibly loud so loud they had to make laws against it.
Have not listened to this one in a along time . They use to play here in New Orleans in the early 70s at a warehouse that was turned in to a concert venue . Then sometimes give a free concert at City Park the next day for 3 or 4 hours
It's always a great time when the Allman Brothers just jam without singing, and I really love Greg's vocals - but when they take off and hit cruising speed - there's almost nothing better.
Duane’s lead phrasing is off the charts. Add the mastery of Dickey Betts to the mix and no one touches this band. This recording as said below is a masterpiece. When the other members get to stand out you realize how special this band/ensemble is.
I love this band but they didn’t really make it out of the 70s. was there anything really after the Brothers and Sisters album? Great while it lasted. There’s a great color video out there with Dwayne, but it’s too bad it doesn’t seem to be on DVD.
@@joefilter2923 The hard-core fans consider it heresy, but I agree with you. Yet thank god we had this bolt of sublime lightning in a bottle. I cannot get tired of this album.
Lovely song isn't it? That was a great reaction man. The unsung heroes of Allman Brothers were their two brilliant drummers Butch and Jaimoe. Butch Trucks was the uncle of Derek Trucks and instilled in him the work ethic of always giving it all in a live session, not just for the audience, but for yourself .. to lay your heart out and have pride in your music. That's one of the reasons they were one of the landmark live acts from their inception all the way to the end in 2014 (?) when they called it quits. They started with Duane Allman and Dickey Betts on guitar but had no problem attracting guitar talent after Duane died and went through several permutations arriving at their final lineup with Warren Haynes and young Derek Trucks on guitar. Derek Trucks was essentially born into the band, joining them live at 13yrs old and eventually replacing Dickey Betts in 1999. One of the best live bands I ever had the pleasure of watching on stage. Cheers 🍺
That Song leaves you awestricken and breathless-This is a sonic masterpiece. Tell me anyone on the planet that could duplicate Duane Allman’s closing Guitar solo ! There is nobody!!
This is such a beautifully harmonic, jazzy , performance of my favorite Allman Brothers song… I like to pair this with “Jessica” on a loop. The pulsing melancholy of “In memory of Elizabeth Reed”, and the bright , joyful, “Jessica” are a healing musical balm for me 😌
Without question, one of the greatest rock epics of all time. So good they recorded the song for vinyl twice - first in the studio on their 2nd album Idlewild South in 1970, then this magnificent rendition on the live Fillmore East. Dicky Betts is a tremendously accomplished and technical guitarist (solo 1), and Duane Allman (RIP at just 24) may just be my favorite all-time guitarist. My very first "favorite" rock band. This song just never gets tired or old. 50+ years later, it remains perfect.
Have you done many instrumentals? Edgar Winter "Frankenstein?" There were quite a few in the 60s and 70s. Can't think of them off the top of my head... Help me, Legion!
Here's my reaction to Frankenstein: ruclips.net/video/lL6TnkzU68U/видео.html Here's Rush La Villa Strangiato: ruclips.net/video/8F23e2LEacw/видео.html We are Legion:)
There's a Super Deluxe Edition of the Fillmore concerts. It has all three nights of the Brother's concerts, mostly each song done 3 times. There's a version of "You Don't Love Me" that didn't make the original album which will knock your socks off. As in any live album there are small mistakes. Mountain Jam, which ended up on Eat a Peach, is on this album with the famous "Berry starts 'er off" lead-in of Whipping Post, followed by the famous version of Mountain Jam, and a night-ending encore of Elvin Bishop singing "Drunkin' Hearted Boy". Drunkin' Hearted Boy has the most example of Duane blues slide skill. They were music gods.
Hell Yes! This, IMHO, their greatest work. I'm a bass player and have covered this song and the bass line is difficult and very athletic. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this. I wonder how much of this live performance was improvised...
Follow this up with a tasty desert...EAT A PEACH. Another double album with mostly tunes from the Fillmore East show that would not fit on this album. There is Mountain Jam...taken from Donavan's THERE IS A MOUNTAIN... The Jam is 33 minutes long.
At their peak The Allman Bros were the best of any band, at least in this genre, but arguably any. Such feeling in their soulful riffs. Wish I could have experienced them LIVE. What a jam.
As great as this early lineup (my favorite) of the Allman Brothers Band was, I still love one of their later songs which was wriiten by Warren Haynes. It's a song you should check out, not only for the musicality, but also the great lyrics. That song is "Soulshine" from their '94 album "Where It All Begins". A great live version is also on the "Live at the Beacon Theatre" DVD from 2003
🎸 it's a Dickie Betts song, .....🎶☝️ it's nice to praise Duane Allman, but many people don't seem to be aware that Dickie Betts is a master guitarist, he actually carried the best band compositions in the later albums, Eat a Peach, Brothers and Sisters ...🚀
I was so fortunate to see the Allman Bros a few times, none better than from the second row at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado in the early 90s. wish you had been able to join us dethstrok9! Every thing they say about the live Fillmore album is true.
You owe it to yourself to study all the stuff that came out of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Just put in Producer Rick Hall an that should get you there, you might be amazed at what you find. Enjoy the adventure kid.
49th best album, what a freaking joke especially when you see the other albums listed. This is one of the greatest albums ever in rock period. Duane died way too young !! Who knows where he would have taken the band to
Don't describe. Just bask in the tasteful genius. Southern jam doesn't get better than this. Good to see you reacting again. Bad timing for anything Neil Young related.
Dude, love watching your honest first-time reactions to music that I would've been listening to for the first time myself, back in 1972. Never got to see ABB unfortunately but thanks to free-form FM radio, in my case listening to NYC's WNEW-FM 102.7 from where we lived in northern NJ, we would hear great tracks like In Memory of Elizabeth Reed for the first time and by that weekend I'd be running out to Scotti's Record Shop in Summit, NJ (it's still there) to buy as many records as I could afford. Then my friend John and I would go back to his place, spark up, drop the record on his Garrard turntable, put on our Koss headphones, and be equally amazed as you by what we were hearing. Thanks for the memories, and I look forward to your future reactions.
in my opinion greatest song all time... greatest live album all time. ....hell greatest album all time.... Greatest band all time...... simple as that ...
I was lucky to see them in concert. Unfortunatly, it was after the death of Duane. They were still amazing and one of the best concerts I ever attended!
Thanks for this! When you can, please check out Johnny Winter And Live...Rick Derringer teams up with Winter and kill it on a blues song It's My Own Fault. You won't regret it!
And if you liked Rick Derringer on that album, try another: "ROADWORK" with Edgar Winter. Some HARDCORE rock tunes on that album; tho I'd have to say it's not a solid set of tracks.
Good choice, I could see you getting lost in this amazing instrumental by an an amazing group. Thank god it was recorded. I saw them at the Fillmore East but in Dec. 1969 when they were one of the opening act for Blood Sweat and Tears. I had not heard of them before but was in for a treat. The tickets were $3.50 for second balcony seating! For my first concert at 18 years old it turned out to be a great show and I still have the Playbill which they gave out just like Broadway plays still do. It had pictures of the band.
Love the Allmans. We lost Duane and Berry Oakley way too young. They hung in there for years and only disbanded after the death of Gregg and Butch a few years ago. They kept at it and brought on some great players. In their last lineup, they had Oteil Burbridge on bass and Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks were playing the parts of Dickie Betts and Duane Allman. Ps, just watched your Alice Cooper I'm 18 reaction. The guitar player in the Muppets Band was made to look like Duane Allman. I am way too old for the Muppets but noticed this when I saw clips of the show 😆
I actually prefer fables that have taken a kernel of truth and then spun it into pure gold. I long ago heard repeated many times a story about the genesis of this song. While in New Orleans, where the high water table makes burial underground a problem, and cemeteries are especially creepy, with all those tombs above-ground, after the show the band members went on a legendary bender fueled by drugs and alcohol well past the point of blackouts. Duane woke up well into the next day hugging a cemetery tombstone and saw the chiselled inscription: "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed", and the notes of this song began pouring into his befuddled mind. I think the truth of the matter is the band had a spot in a cemetery where they liked to congregate for a drink and a smoke, and one of the graves was that of Elizabeth Reed, and it served as a cool title for a fabulous song. I've also heard that Duane Allman got wasted on drugs and died riding his motorcycle in circles around their tour bus which crashed on top of him when the cargo plane carrying them to a tour suddenly careened sideways and plummeted to the ground. The precise cause of death was never determined, but he became a legend.
Kernels of truth? Let’s see: Elizabeth Reed is Dickey’s song. The grave is in Macon Georgia. Duane swerved to miss a truck, fell off his bike and the bike fell on him. Pretty sure that was the cause of death. Berry rode his bike into a bus, so I guess that’s a kernel? Or am I missing your sarcasm?
"Fillmore East" is a national treasure, just ask the Library of Congress! Best live album ever, for my money! I was lucky enough to live in the south when these guys were starting up, and caught Duane live a few times. Man, what could have been.....I've been a huge fan since 69! Don't sleep on the final lineup of the band, with Warren Haynes/Derek Trucks on guitars and Oteil Burbridge on bass. Hottest ABB since the original lineup, for sure! This album will most likely be with you for the rest of your life, as with so many of us! The look on your face from 12:00-12:15 tells me you get it..........we've all looked like that for years!
This is a prime example of Subscribers dragging unsuspecting first time listeners into the Deep Tracks. "One Way Out" is the recommended song for the first time listener of The Allman Brothers. It's got the fun factor, and it only has the second best dueling lead guitars in one song EVER! And although your Subscribers have heard "One Way Out" like a million times and their SICK OF IT, their not understanding that you're a first time listener who's never heard it even ONCE before. Cheers from the Past!
I first saw them May 1973. I was finishing up my Sophmore year at college and was about to turn 18. I was blown away. Went back to my boyfriend’s apartment and we listened to them the rest of our sleepless night. I tried to see them whenever they came to NYC. And I saw Greg Allman solo at a small supper club during his last tour😢. The remnants/reworking of the band still tour. But I just can’t . . .
1972. I was 17. My brother , 5 years older than me, brought this album home when he was a senior in college. We listened to it on a cheap stereo. I have loved ABB ever since that first experience listening to them. Unfortunately, by the time I first saw them live in November 1974, both Duane and Berry had died. But the music, and most of the band's lineups, remain some of the best I have ever listened to.
You owe it to yourself to give the entire album, beginning to end, a listen.
Definitely one of the best albums i have ever heard, great vocals and the guitars... man Duane Allman and Dickey Betts together it's mind blowing.
Then listen to it again, eh.
Right on. I love that a new generation is appreciating great music from another generation. It trouble me slightly that they are getting such a very small taste of something so great. This is an example of that. I really hope this guy takes the time to get into the whole album. Truly a great experience everyone deserves to experience.
This album is preserved in the library of Congress
You should definitely give the whole album a listen 🍑🎸✌️
Duane Allman was absolutely amazing, if you cover Layla by Clapton guess who is playing the main riff. Such a tight band caught live here, oh what could have been.
Yes sir - what could have been indeed. Such a tragedy. With another one fast on its heels. RIP boys
Duane Allman’s guitar solo in this song (second solo) is arguably the greatest solo in rock history. His solo in Stormy Monday is also top tier!
You're dead-on with your assessment of where Duane's solo ranks in the rock pantheon. You're also right about his work on Stormy, but Dickey fully matches him there.
Also Derek and the dominos
Why Does Live Gotta be So Sad
@@mgavaghen Yes, I actually like the Betts solo on Stormy Monday BETTER.
@@tovarisch2788 remove wax from ears!!!!!!
Skydog. The best.
The greatest 13 minutes of live music ever recorded, imo.
'Low spark' second best at 11:41.
Without question. That was an organic, titanic orgasmic piece of time that shall never be duplicated ever again. Thank the dear Lord in Heaven, that someone had the good sense to make it immortal, by recording it.

@@paulotteson3238 I love it too!
One of the great live albums in rock history. Like the drumming? There are two drummers/percussionists in this band to go along with multiple guitarists.
An absolute favorite; nothing short of brilliant!
Check out Duane's work with Aretha Franklin, "It Ain't Fair", this would before the Allman Brothers Band. Also his work on Wilson Pickett's cover of Beatles Hey Jude. Note: the sax on Aretha's tune is the great King Curtis, who had Hendrix as guitar player. Enjoy kid.
Check out their "Mountain Jam" for a half-hour instrumental.
Saw them 3 straight years during their annual 2 week "residency" at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan in the late 90's. Always mesmerized by Dickey Betts, especially "Jessica". Didn't smoke, but the contact highs were memorable those nights, unavoidable but welcomed. What a live act.
If I was lucky enough to attend those shows that would have been me in the room causing those contact issues...
@@daveking9393 Well, when we do meet up eventually for a show, you'll see I'm actually not as stuffy as I was in my late thirties. I'm a relic now- light it up!
I went to many of those shows also in the 90s and the 2000s. I saw them for the first time in 1974. Loved all the shows
Great choice. What can I say? It’s the Allmans live in 1971. There are other live recordings from this tour on youtube in various levels of sound quality but the band was on fire every night.

Live at Fillmore East. You should watch it live. You will enjoy it more.
One of the best live albums ever recorded.
THE best
Yay! Looking forward. This and "Dreams" are my faves by them.
This may be one of the only instrumentals I've seen here. For more instrumental fun, try The J. Geils Band performing Whammer Jammer. Killer harmonica in that one. Peace.
Do you mean on Daniel’s channel? ruclips.net/video/h74RBhrmnOQ/видео.html

Along with Thin Lizzy's 'Live And Dangerous' and Jethro Tull's 'Bursting Out', this has to be one of the greatest live performances committed to tape!
My voice would be Chicago doing 25 or 6 to 4 at Tanglewood. Terry Kath’s solo was unreal
"Live Bullet" Bob Seger would be my own #1.
Yes. 'Bursting Out' is phenomenal and a must listen if you dig Tull.

Have not listened to this one in a along time . They use to play here in New Orleans in the early 70s at a warehouse that was turned in to a concert venue . Then sometimes give a free concert at City Park the next day for 3 or 4 hours
Caught them one night at the Municipal Auditorium in which they played both an electric and acoustic set that ended about 2AM. The good old days.
I miss the old Warehouse! Saw lots of great stuff there, including ABB. TCHOUPITOULAS STREET was a bit sketchier in those days! :)
One of my favorites by the Allman's.
It's always a great time when the Allman Brothers just jam without singing, and I really love Greg's vocals - but when they take off and hit cruising speed - there's almost nothing better.

There's a Super Deluxe Edition of the Fillmore concerts. It has all three nights of the Brother's concerts, mostly each song done 3 times. There's a version of "You Don't Love Me" that didn't make the original album which will knock your socks off. As in any live album there are small mistakes. Mountain Jam, which ended up on Eat a Peach, is on this album with the famous "Berry starts 'er off" lead-in of Whipping Post, followed by the famous version of Mountain Jam, and a night-ending encore of Elvin Bishop singing "Drunkin' Hearted Boy". Drunkin' Hearted Boy has the most example of Duane blues slide skill. They were music gods.
But why are they all laughing in that photo?😉
Hell Yes! This, IMHO, their greatest work. I'm a bass player and have covered this song and the bass line is difficult and very athletic. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this. I wonder how much of this live performance was improvised...
Follow this up with a tasty desert...EAT A PEACH. Another double album with mostly tunes from the Fillmore East show that would not fit on this album. There is Mountain Jam...taken from Donavan's THERE IS A MOUNTAIN... The Jam is 33 minutes long.
World class musicians, no doubt.
As expected. Your tweet warned me. Enjoyment unbounded.

The historic nature of this, every side of it, cannot be overstated. A ground breaking masterpiece in every way.

Good choice, I could see you getting lost in this amazing instrumental by an an amazing group. Thank god it was recorded. I saw them at the Fillmore East but in Dec. 1969 when they were one of the opening act for Blood Sweat and Tears. I had not heard of them before but was in for a treat. The tickets were $3.50 for second balcony seating! For my first concert at 18 years old it turned out to be a great show and I still have the Playbill which they gave out just like Broadway plays still do. It had pictures of the band.
I play drums to this piece every day. Been playing this song since the seventies. Still learning.
You've got to hear them play Stormy Monday from the Same album. Sooooo tasty. Full of sauce
Next for you, Mountain Jam from te Eat A Peach album.
Album also has a 33 minute instrumental, Mountain Jam, with a long drum solo in the middle
At Fillmore East - Is in my opinion the best live album ever.
This song is written about a gravestone in the cemetery where Duane, Greg and Barry are buried
There is a video of this...I saw it a few years ago on RUclips. If you search you might find it. The whole concert was recorded I believe!
Congrats you've been forever changed by genius!
"Jessica" and "Little Martha" are also intrumentals.
Love the Allmans. We lost Duane and Berry Oakley way too young. They hung in there for years and only disbanded after the death of Gregg and Butch a few years ago. They kept at it and brought on some great players. In their last lineup, they had Oteil Burbridge on bass and Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks were playing the parts of Dickie Betts and Duane Allman. Ps, just watched your Alice Cooper I'm 18 reaction. The guitar player in the Muppets Band was made to look like Duane Allman. I am way too old for the Muppets but noticed this when I saw clips of the show 😆
Listen to Mountain Jam 35 minutes of just instrumental no words
With instruments doing the talking like that you don't need words
I actually prefer fables that have taken a kernel of truth and then spun it into pure gold.
I long ago heard repeated many times a story about the genesis of this song. While in New Orleans, where the high water table makes burial underground a problem, and cemeteries are especially creepy, with all those tombs above-ground, after the show the band members went on a legendary bender fueled by drugs and alcohol well past the point of blackouts. Duane woke up well into the next day hugging a cemetery tombstone and saw the chiselled inscription: "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed", and the notes of this song began pouring into his befuddled mind.
I think the truth of the matter is the band had a spot in a cemetery where they liked to congregate for a drink and a smoke, and one of the graves was that of Elizabeth Reed, and it served as a cool title for a fabulous song.
I've also heard that Duane Allman got wasted on drugs and died riding his motorcycle in circles around their tour bus which crashed on top of him when the cargo plane carrying them to a tour suddenly careened sideways and plummeted to the ground. The precise cause of death was never determined, but he became a legend.
Kernels of truth? Let’s see: Elizabeth Reed is Dickey’s song. The grave is in Macon Georgia. Duane swerved to miss a truck, fell off his bike and the bike fell on him. Pretty sure that was the cause of death. Berry rode his bike into a bus, so I guess that’s a kernel? Or am I missing your sarcasm?
If you want to torture someone put headphones on them, play this song and tell em if they move they die 🤣
This has always been my favorite tune from them.
BLACK HEARTED WOMAN, STANDBACK.
Sublime is the only word that needs to be said for this song - and this band
Sounds jazzy.....and Santana like......
An amazing piece of music!
You can see this concert video.
THE GREAT BERRY OAKLEY
Duane Allman 🙏🎸🍑✌️
"Fillmore East" is a national treasure, just ask the Library of Congress! Best live album ever, for my money! I was lucky enough to live in the south when these guys were starting up, and caught Duane live a few times. Man, what could have been.....I've been a huge fan since 69! Don't sleep on the final lineup of the band, with Warren Haynes/Derek Trucks on guitars and Oteil Burbridge on bass. Hottest ABB since the original lineup, for sure! This album will most likely be with you for the rest of your life, as with so many of us! The look on your face from 12:00-12:15 tells me you get it..........we've all looked like that for years!
This is a prime example of Subscribers dragging unsuspecting first time listeners into the Deep Tracks. "One Way Out" is the recommended song for the first time listener of The Allman Brothers. It's got the fun factor, and it only has the second best dueling lead guitars in one song EVER! And although your Subscribers have heard "One Way Out" like a million times and their SICK OF IT, their not understanding that you're a first time listener who's never heard it even ONCE before. Cheers from the Past!
I first saw them May 1973. I was finishing up my Sophmore year at college and was about to turn 18. I was blown away. Went back to my boyfriend’s apartment and we listened to them the rest of our sleepless night. I tried to see them whenever they came to NYC. And I saw Greg Allman solo at a small supper club during his last tour😢. The remnants/reworking of the band still tour. But I just can’t . . .
Now that's a jam
Thank YOU !!
1972. I was 17. My brother , 5 years older than me, brought this album home when he was a senior in college. We listened to it on a cheap stereo. I have loved ABB ever since that first experience listening to them. Unfortunately, by the time I first saw them live in November 1974, both Duane and Berry had died. But the music, and most of the band's lineups, remain some of the best I have ever listened to.
