"At Fillmore East is the first live album by American band the Allman Brothers Band, and their third release overall. Produced by Tom Dowd, the album was released in July 1971 in the United States by Capricorn Records. As the title indicates, the recording took place at the New York City music venue Fillmore East, which was run by concert promoter Bill Graham. It was recorded over the course of nights in March 1971 and features the band performing extended jam versions of songs such as "Whipping Post", "You Don't Love Me", and "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed". 
Dickey Betts, named the song after a headstone he saw in Rose Hill Cemetery in the band's hometown of Macon, Georgia.[Elizabeth Reed Napier, b. November 9, 1845]. Multiple versions of the song have been recorded, with the version performed on the group's 1971 live album At Fillmore East generally considered the definitive rendition."
"She was the girlfriend of musician Boz Scaggs', with Betts later saying she "was Hispanic and somewhat dark and mysterious-and she really used it to her advantage and played it to the hilt." To cloak her identity, the song is named after a headstone Betts saw at the Rose Hill Cemetery, where band members often ventured in their days to relax and write songs. "Duane told some crazy shit about that graveyard. I don't wanna tell all--, but that's the part that matters," Betts later said. For his part, vocalist Gregg Allman was candid about his experiences in the cemetery: "I'd be lying if I said I didn't have my way with a lady or two down there." The cemetery later become the final resting spot of Duane and Gregg Allman, along with bassist Berry Oakley."
"In 2007, Rolling Stone named "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" one of its Fifty Best Songs Over Seven Minutes Long - and in giving it Honorable Mention on its 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time list made 2008, Rolling Stone called the At Fillmore East performance "transcendent'.
