Description
The Allman Brothers Band - AT FILLMORE EAST (2 record set) is a 1971 LP release on the Capricorn label # SD 2-802.
Whereas most great live rock albums are about energy, At Fillmore East is like a great live jazz session, where the pleasure comes from the musicians' interaction and playing. The great thing about that is, the original album that brought the Allmans so much acclaim is as notable for its clever studio editing as it is for its performances. Producer Tom Dowd skillfully trimmed some of the performances down to relatively concise running time, at times condensing several performances into one track. Far from being a sacrilege, this tactic helps present the Allmans in their best light, since even if the music isn't necessarily concise (three tracks run over ten minutes, with two in the 20-minute range), it does showcase the group's terrific instrumental interplay, letting each member (but particularly guitarist Duane and keyboardist/vocalist Gregg) shine. This original double album remains the pinnacle of the Allmans and Southern rock at its most elastic, bluesy, and jazzy.
The gatefold jacket shows wear on the edges & corners; has a small red stain on the back; a 2" split on the bottom edge and two 1" splits on the top edge. The records are in VG+ to EX condition.
