Gentlemen, the entire Live Fillmore East album is worth a listen. Many consider it to be the greatest live album ever.

Duane was only 23 years old and Gregg was only 22 years old here.  Amazing.

The second guitarist is Dicky Betts. He is legendary in Southern Rock. He and Duane (Skydog) were the standard for every 2 guitar rock band that followed.

Fillmore East was in NYC; Fillmore West was in San Francisco. And just remember for the future, this is the last time that you will see Duane live because he died about a month or 2 after this concert, in fact the live double album from this concert which put the Allman Brothers on the map, came out after Duane Allman tragically died in a motorcycle accident. The next album Eat a Peach went through the roof, and it was a double album tribute to Duane. Duane was on just 3 songs on what was supposed to be a single album. But they put on the 3 songs Duane played on the same side and added two more cuts from their Fillmore concert, this song and Trouble No More which highlighted Duane's amazing slide guitar. This became Side 3. Side 1 had 3 great new songs, recorded after Duane's death, two by Gregg Allman and one by Dickey Betts, who now was also the only lead guitarist left. Side 2 and 4 are the Mountain Jam, a 45-minute jam that saw the original incarnation of the band, with Duane and Dickey trading licks all the way, one last time.

I'm 75 and they are still the greatest....

RIP Dickey Betts. 4/18/24. Thanks for the music.

A rock and roll  band  playing  blues  in the jazz  vernacular. Greatest  live album ever  recorded.

I think that nowadays people don't understand that black and white music from that time were intertwined. It was simply southern music. Black and white people were married to each other musically. Southern music was black and white together. Musically, it was all the same. They learned from each other.

Southern Comfort 🌻

Two lead guitars, two drummers...👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Gregg was so amazing even as a solo act when he did the song I’m No Angel. That is an amazing tune showing off Gregg’s vocals!

Man that first solo is by Dickey Betts. He is a bad man

The Allman Brothers are the defining group for Southern Rock.

My uncle Chank was Greg best friend up to the day he died and I had the pleasure to go to his last show here in Macon. Chank Middleton passed recently but saw Greg as a real brother! He may have been a white southerner but Greg and Duane had soul music infused with bluegrass. Irony of it was Chank was a huge Bob Marley fan lol #longlivetheAllmanbrothers

I’ve heard this story before but just Googled to find this:
Duane Allman wanted two drummers from the moment he started putting together what became the Allman Brothers Band. “I asked Duane why he wanted two drummers and he said, 'because James Brown has two,'” recalls Jaimoe.

Not only are there two drummers, but one thing they are well known for is playing dual synchronized lead guitars. You can hear it really well in Melissa, Jessica, and Blue Sky, for example.

We can thank Muddy Waters,Led belly and all the black blues singers for spawning music such as this.

I think you both will be blown away by Greg’s voice on their song “ Whipping Post.” His emotion will rattle your core.

This album, Allman Brothers, live at Fillmore East is probably one of thee best live albums ever! These guys are considered Southern Rock!

I’m glad y’all got to meet The Allman Brothers Band. They put on the most amazing live show I’ve ever seen, with no tricks, just musicianship. They had a connection that was nearly telepathic. Two of these originals are still alive: Dickey Betts and Jaimoe the drummer. I know it’s long, but you should do “Whipping Post” from the Fillmore East. It’s definitive. There’s also Dickey Betts’ “In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed”, Gregg Allman’s “Dreams”, and a great version of “Stormy Monday”. Thanks.
