Legendary Allman Brothers live performance available for the first time on LP

Double album, gatefold jacket

Formed by Duane Allman and Gregg Allman in 1969, The Allman Brothers are the band that defines the genre known as southern rock.

Their seminal live album At Fillmore East cemented their reputation. Known as one of the top live albums of all time, it showcased their jazz-influenced blues-rock jamming on songs like the 22-minute long "Whipping Post".

Shortly afterwards, Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle crash. A year later, bassist Berry Oakley was also killed in a motorcycle crash, near the location of Duane Allman's accident. Despite these tragedies, the band continued to release critically acclaimed and successful albums including Eat a Peach (1972) and Brothers and Sisters (1973). However, the next few years saw personality clashes and drug problems tear the group apart. When Gregg Allman was arrested on drug charges in 1976, he agreed to testify against a close friend of the band. That decision caused the other band members to refuse to work with Gregg Allman again, and the group split up.

However, they reunited just two years later, and continued to collaborate and tour occasionally throughout the '80s, with myriad line-up changes over the years. Another reformation in the '90s was extremely successful, as they recorded a handful of strong albums and continued to tour.

The album A&R Studios is recorded from a 1971 live radio broadcast, a month after the Fillmore East LP release, and two months before Duane Allman died. This was the final Allman Brothers' show to feature Duane, and the quality, dynamic performance and ambience encompassed herein all at once make for a quite staggering sonic experience — one that fans of this legendary act in its original lineup will relish.
