There has never been a better showcase for improvisational rock than this 1971 concert recording, and few (if any) live rock albums are in its rank. With only two studio albums (and plenty of touring) under their belt, the Georgia sextet tore into the Fillmore East with road-tested buoyancy. Titanic guitarist Duane Allman was at the peak of his powers, pushing his foil, Dickey Betts, to unsurpassed peaks. Vocalist-keyboardist Gregg Allman would have been a star in any other setting; here he's merely one more component in a brilliant ensemble. Duane Allman died shortly after At Fillmore East shipped, and the Brothers haven't scaled such heights since. But, then, neither has anyone else. --Steven Stolder

Having previously placed well over one hundred orders with Amazon, I had only attempted to return one item in the last seven years. I sure didn't want this to be the second but I have no choice. Firstly, I noted that the sleeve for album 2 was torn. Once I removed the album completely from the cover, I notied that both corners were severly wrinkledas if the sleeve and been carelessly jammed int the cover. This in and of itself wouldn't necessitate a return even for someone who babies their albums because I other polyethelene sleeves I would have used to replace the paper sleeves.
Disappointing issue #2: One of the reviews I read mentioned that "The photographs are fantastic. The prints of the front and back album cover are the best I have seen. Again, most of these photos can be seen elsewhere, but the prints are excellent." I understood this to mean that there were additional photos included with the album in addition to the improved front and rear cover prints. The front and rear covers are indeed very well done but nothing more than I would have expected and there WERE NO OTHER PHOTOS INCLUDED. Again this was disappointing, especially given the somewhat hefty price tag, but I still would keep the album if not for the following additional issue.
Disappointing Issue #3: At this point, I was bummed out but having already listened to the MP3 version of the album, I couldn't help but what to listen the richness of the bands music via vinyl. I carefully placedalbum one onmy turntable and lowered the stylus only to see the needle slide to the middle of the first song. Upon closer inspection, I found the album to be warped. At this point, I said screw it, I didn't even attempt to play the second album. Obviously, this vinyl purchase was a tremendous letdown.
That being said, based on my listening to the MP3 versions, I think any music lover and especially any Allman Brothers fan would treasure having this special edition in their collection but unfortunately for me, I will have to miss out on having the pride that the vinyl should have brought with it. I have to give the collection a 5-star rating but please be aware that purchasing the vinyl may be a problem.
But unlike their British rock and roll colleagues, the Allman Brothers Band breathed new life into what would have normally been called drawn-out noodling. But staleness was not the case with the fire and passion instilled by the still-unmatched pairing of guitarists Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, the keyboards and tormented vocals of Gregg Allman, Berry Oakley's muddy genuine bass, and the double-percussion of Butch Trucks and Jai Johanny Johanson.
When it was released, "At Fillmore East" was a double album, yet still did not contain all of the incredible performances from March 12/13, 1971 (the group supposedly jammed until dawn, which isn't too far-fetched when one considers the wealth of unreleased Fillmore material dished out on recent expanded editions, and on the band's 1972 album "Eat a Peach").
Through the blistering extended jams, one never loses interest, and there are no "live album cliches" to weigh down the music. Dickey Betts' stirring instrumental "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is a must, the opening "Statesboro Blues," as well as the Elmore James tune "Done Somebody Wrong," are educational for the blues beginner.
"You Don't Love Me" and "Whipping Post" both clock in at nearly or over twenty minutes, but are never tiresome, the latter being both beautiful, rousing, and haunting all at the same time, without a doubt one of Duane Allman's finest moments on record.
On a side note, the album also showcases how the Allmans were one of the few rock bands who could make having two drummers useful, as the sounds of Trucks and Johanson compliment and feed off one another (Modest Mouse also recently made the two drummers concept listenable).
To quote an old reviewer cliche, "If you don't already own this album, buy it now." It's a testament to arguably the greatest point in the Allman's early career, and the evidence that Duane Allman was probably the greatest guitarist of the 20th Century, a musical gift that could only come from God. Don't miss this one.
