Editorial Review:
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

Rating:  - Not the Complete Album
I was very disappointed with this CD. It is not the album I remember. Some of the material has been left off to allow the double album set to fit onto one CD. Too bad.
Rating: - Oh Lord it feels like I'm dying
Allman Brothers at their peak, and by Allman Brothers I mean the original six cats that brought us this great music..Duane Allman was finger tapping while van halen was in diapers..

Rating: - One of the Best Concerts Ever Recorded - That's All!
The Allman Brothers were Duane Allman (slide guitar and lead guitar), Gregg Allman (vocals, organ), Dickey Betts (lead guitar, rhythm guitar, vocals), Berry Oakley (bass), Butch Trucks (drums) and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (drums). The band was labeled as "Southern Rock" , but being from Kentucky, it just sounded like good rock to me. This particular live recording from those southern gentlemen has to be one of the greatest concert albums of all time! The purity of guitars, the bluesy keyboards ... Read More
Rating:  - blue and rambling rock
First of all, since I'm primarily a jazz (and only partly blues) fan, I'm probably not the most relieble judge for all the rock fans that praise this album (that's why I gave it one more star than I personally would).
But, at the time I was already infected by the jazz bug, I accidentally stumbled upon the first three songs from this album on a blues show on a Croatian radio station...
I liked "Statesboro Blues", "Done Somebody Wrong" (an Elmore James song) and "Stormy Monday (Blues)" ... Read More
Rating: - Great Music
This CD is of the Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East in NY. In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine and Bill Graham (owner of Fillmore East and West) they asked him what were some of the best concerts he ever put on and he replied: Allman Brothers live at Fillmore east.And this CD can back up that quote!
