How could anybody give this a thumbs down? The best blues guitars I've ever heard. I'm 67 years old a musician been listening to these guys from the beginning and this one still raises the hair on my arms.
i think i'm the same age as you, i'm 69 , born in 1954. i became a radio dj during the summer of 1969 between 9th and 10th grade. i continued in radio until 2017 when i retired due to owner problems. i have been a Allman Bros fan since the first time i heard them in 1971.
I am 67 also and the hair on my neck goes up every time I hear this as well. This song is so emotionally raw. I saw them in '75 but alas Duane and Berry were already gone.
it tis what it tis. Great blues and dang glad they were here for a while to let us listen to it now. Enjoy while you can and say thanks. Amen. Peace and Love.
Arguably the best version of this song. Greg on vocals, dickie & duane playing their hearts out. The band has their entire, original lineup on this album. This album may have captured the ABB at their best. Legendary.
This song could go on for 2 hours and I would still be in a state of southern blues roots nirvana! Gregg, Berry, Jaimoe, Butch, Dickie and the impossibly brilliant Duane...my favorite Allman Bros performance of all time. And one of many heartfelt Duane solos that are technically difficult, but even more soulfully astonishing...The Allman Brothers in the flower of their youth and at the peak of their incredible and gifted musicianship.
This is and always will be the best ever version of this song ! Timing ,, every note , every drum & cymbal hit, every chord timing and Gregg singing with all his heart : does not get any better !
Duane's solo (first one) is as perfect a solo as exists in the annals of rock. Every note, every bend, every tone, absolutely flawless. Best white blues players ever, and likely the finest rock band of all time
Doesn't matter if you're a rapper, a pop diva, a session musician, or a touring blues player. Doesn't matter what instrument you like to play. You must know this tune and you must be able to play it cold the minute you walk into the studio.
One of Duanes greatest solos. His phrasing is unmatched - even today he is arguably the greatest electric blues guitar player ever. His sense of timing and interplay was remarkable , and we are so blessed they recorded this magic at the Fillmore.
I agree. His playing style was very special. No guitar playing moves me like Duane, such an emotional style. His greatness reminds me of what we lost when he passed.
I WAS ALSO AT FILLMORE EAST IN 1971. THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE EVERY RECORDED. CAPRICORN RECORDS WAS ON THE BALL. DUANE ALLMAN'S PLAYING IS FANTASTIC AND ACCURATE. QUICKWATER.
The Allman Brothers Band IS the Best Band of all time, I never tire of listening to any and all of their releases and after 43 years it's still as fresh and filled with spiritual energy as the day I first heard it!!!
Arguably one of the greatest live performances in blues history. The world feels a little less empty. My soul is forever in the past. Thank you ALL for giving this world something that they can feel. RIP
When I was a teenager, I was in a local rock-n-roll band in Decatur Alabama. My buddy and I would walk across the street to watch these guys "practice" their songs in the neighbors garage - before they hit the road and got famous. At the time they were between names (Allman Joys/Hourglass). One night they practiced Stormy Monday all night. The same song over and over. No other songs. Only Stormy Monday. We had school the next day so we had to go home at about 11pm. They were still practicing this song. Greg kept saying that something was wrong with the song. I thought it was perfect every time. So they played and played until they worked all the bugs out. Hourglass then went on to become the Allman Brothers. Pure dedication.
+Michael Melonas "Greg kept saying that something was wrong with the song." Perhaps what was wrong was that they had not yet landed on going from b-flat minor 7 to D11 then c minor 7 over e-flat bass in the turnaround. Those unique changes are not on the 1947 T-Bone Walker recording, and they're almost never properly played by cover bands. Stormy Monday is called way too often at blues jams. If not played thoughtfully and with restraint, it quickly becomes wearisome and annoying.
you all probably dont care at all but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
Saw them in 1970 before they were popular enough to fill big arenas. Small auditorium, maybe sat 200 people in a little town outside of My. Loved me some Allman Brothers, and that concert( jam, more like it) was my birthday present. No one even there at front door to take out tickets!! Walked down to front row which was maybe 5 feet from stage!! Maybe 50- 75 people there on a snowy night, but made no never mind to them that we were few in numbers!! Played their hearts out, they weren't built to do anything less, then they took take a break, went to back corner of stage, light up a " Doobie" and drink a beer, then get back up and go at it again!!! Phenomenal!!!!! Lasted prob 2 1/2 to 3 hours, I guess, lost ALL track of time!! Unbelievable night!!! We watched them drive off into the night, in the snow, in a station wagon, waving at us as they pulled off. Maybe a year later, they were playing to sold out arenas!! Love their music to this day!!
ok so tears are streaming down my cheeks. i miss these boys i'm not getting old..... music is just not the same. please come back so i can leave this world happy
Such subtle and deft nuance to their music. Such mastery of dynamics and true soul to their music. You don't find music like this today. Not even close. It's a lost art. Thank God for CZcams, and people who understand what true music is. Thanks so much posting this!
I think Duane's was the first solo. I never knew for sure who played first. Either way though, Betts was awesome, better than all the others that followed imv.
My God with headphones on listening to this song. I can clearly hear every instrument and change up. A good song to calm down and go to sleep. Very late but I think I will listen to it again because once is just not enough.
AND when you want to get "UP", - Whipping Post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lynard Skinner can't hold a candle to these boys. The Allman Bros. are my idea of southern rock.
THE GREATEST LIVE ALBUM EVER. Gregg Allman was a fantastic blues singer. Chills me to the bone. All were great musician s also. Nobody makes music like this anymore.
no matter how many times i listen to this recording i never seem to tire of it. Duane's technique was just so good. tone, vibrato, dynamics, phrasing, perfect intonation on the bends- the man had it all. and not an insincere note played. each note cuts right through to the soul.
I grew up with Duane and Greg in Pensacola Fl at the Beach ., my brother was a great guitar player and good friends with Duane ., we hung out at the 69 Atlanta Pop Festival on Saturday., unreal.
this song, this is the best anyone's ever done of Stormy Monday. Every time I hear it it gives me chills and I start singing it like some ole man, some ole man missing his baby, but working hard and barely getting by, but he keeps trying.
I was at the Fillmore when they recorded this live album, about 3 rows back from the stage. Had never heard of them before that night. I was there to hear Johnny Winters and Rick Derringer. But wow, I've seen a lot of bands play live but this was and still is my favorite concert. I remember being mesmerized by the music but especially by the guitar interplay between Duane and Dicky. I didn't want them to get off stage even though Winters was next. My kids love this album.
Saw the original Bros in 1971 in Memphis Overton Park Shell...outside venue.....they played for hours on a cool spring nite......It was sheer Heaven....
Music like this makes you wish you could build a time machine to see these guys live, but I was blessed to be able to see Greg Allman live at ThunderValley Casino in Summer 2014....Fucking Awesome!!!
Chicken skin every time I listen to this. The Allman Brothers Band at the height of their powers. I'm thankful we had them while we did, and sad we didn't have them with us longer.
+Roger Miller Been listening to this since high school, and I still get chills. Duane made his guitar cry. Mixing Stevie Ray V, Jimi H, and Pat Metheny all into one. Plus the fact that Dickie Betts was on stage was a double added bonus !
My cousin always told me: "If I had one album I could take with my on a desert island it would be the Allman Bros. live at the Filmore".....makes sense...
I just heard the whole thing on WJCT recently...sure brought back some great memories! I enjoyed jammin' with them at Forest Inn those Sundays of long ago...smoke was so thick, you couldn't see the wall on the opposite side!
A concert promoter friend of mine bragged to us he had booked a band called the Allman bros. to play outside at the Shell venue @ Overton park in Memphis. He sold all 5000 seats quickly, 35000 people showed up! We sat front row and watched this bands historical performance..
That's awesome and easy to believe. I grew up in Boston and saw them for the first time in about 1972 when I was in the 10th grade. Fillmore East is in my mind the best live album ever. Stormy Monday is amazing. Still one of my favorite bands. Great memories...
Betts is so often overlooked. The band was great at every player. You can hear the different tones and styles if you try. This album is the greatest LIVE rock album ever made.Gregg sang his butt off.
I m gonna lock in the same room the 1000 ppl that commented about knowing about the best album ever and only open when they eventually agree on the same one
Oh that voice and the timing of that organ right after Duane's solo. Going to miss hearing that live in concert. RIP Gregg. The best blues singer of all time - of any color
Still gives me goosebumps to this day, its so damn good. i remember a long time ago i would listen to this with headphones, ALL the problems in the world would dissolve. RIP Gregg.
+Bruce Blake check out he awesome documentary about it.....Tom Dowd and the language of music. Rocks legendary sound engineer. Lots of Allman bros info.
The Fillmore was a sacred place of concerts! I never attended, but had the albums of many artists who performed there...and those albums were annointed! e.g. Hendrix, Allmans, Aretha w/Ray Charles... and more! Still precious jewels... for any record collector!
+dggd Blame it on Bill Graham, who gave kids like Carlos Santana and Jimi a place to play and launch careers and the rest of us the fruits of their incredible talents!
+Jay Jensen Hendrix hardly launched his career at the Fillmore he had less than a year to live and was the greatest star in music when he famously played there over 2 nights at the new year of 1970 for the recording of the Band Of Gypsys album. He was already a star when he first went back home to America for Monterey Pop in mid '67 after making his name in England since '66 and releasing Are You Experienced worldwide :)
Jay Jensen :/ Hendrix never played in any band of his own before relocating to England to form the Experience; if he incidentally played there in a backing group for the Isley Brothers or Little Richard or whoever else which he may well have done it had nothing whatsoever to do with Bill Graham giving "kids like Carlos Santana and Jimi a place to play". Sorry.
R.I.P. Gregg Allman. Your group introduced me to the blues when I was a young kid. For years I have listened mostly to the original masters -- BB King, T.Bone Walker, Wynton Marsalis, countless others, but I never would have learned to love the music were it not for your immortal renditions on Fillmore East Live. You had a great gift and made life so much the better for many of us by your music. Thank you. My respects.
Rest in Peace, B.B. King. Thank you for all the beautiful music. I will miss you. Even though I love this version of Stormy Monday, no one sang it like you did.
i'll deny that! every one of these greats took the sounds of the time, and transformed them to something else. chuck berry? t-bone? robert johnson? bach? african drumming? how deep do you go? you can find bits of all of that in there. music is a cultural artifact and a product of cultural exchange
Saw them live twice in 1970, all the original members...all but one are gone now...their live music was the best ever. Fillmore East album is as good as it gets...RIP ALLMANS...
After 40 years, I still get chills from this awesome band performance! When this album was released, us guitar players longed for, but would never equal Duane'e tone and soul!
Macon and the entire south east was hitting the right note back then and I remember when Duane died the ABB inspired my failed musical career but I am 60 ish and still riding and partying
Imagine i would be listening to this music in the early 70s thru a cassette. Everytime I would like to hear it again, I will rewind the tape and play the cassette recorder again for another round of listening. How blessed are these present times. I can listen to this over and over again with the comforts of youtube and other contraptions. I did not even know the title of this song, until of recent, but I was scampering for this wonderful music to hear it again. So here we are, listening to the same tune I heard about 40 years ago. God is Good!!!!
I agree the sound quality on this concert is closer than a studio version. The best part of the members of the "Allman Brothers" is their versatility. They played with so many individuals that were part of other bands. Including long jam sessions with blues and rock and roll legends that are still around. It came so easy and natural to them, they could pull it off with no sweat. Gotta love that kind of talent.
YOU NEVER KNOW FOR SURE, TILL " YOU FINALLY KNOW",& "THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY OUT THAT DOOR"& "THERE'S A MAN DOWN THERE WAITING FOR ME"{LIGHTEN UP, CAUSE "THAT MAN MAY JUST BE A " MARTIAN"{DOES HE PLAY LES PAUL OR JAZZMASTER GUITAR?}}LOL.,
One of my favorite bands of all time! Listened to this album over and over for years and it never gets old. One of the best "live" recordings of all time. You could feel the magic in the air...
ONE OF THE GREATEST SOUTHERN ROCK BANDS EVER! Brings back Many Memory's and Many Tears! One of THE GREATEST LEAD GUITAR PLAYER's ALSO! MAY GOD REST THEIR SOUL's! Ride Hard and Live Free! H.Davidson!
A co-worker(dishwasher) turned me on to this when I was 15 and it had just came out, had told him how much I loved the Blues.... listening to this in the mountains of Idaho with my head between speakers, nothing has ever been the same.
How could anybody give this a thumbs down? The best blues guitars I've ever heard. I'm 67 years old a musician been listening to these guys from the beginning and this one still raises the hair on my arms.
Me too.
Irreplaceable.
i think i'm the same age as you, i'm 69 , born in 1954. i became a radio dj during the summer of 1969 between 9th and 10th grade. i continued in radio until 2017 when i retired due to owner problems. i have been a Allman Bros fan since the first time i heard them in 1971.
Everything you said!
I am 67 also and the hair on my neck goes up every time I hear this as well. This song is so emotionally raw.
I saw them in '75 but alas Duane and Berry were already gone.
Sometimes thumbs down is a mistake
What a great version of this song...........We were so lucky to have this band...This was a Southern band...they were ours.....and I miss them...
it tis what it tis. Great blues and dang glad they were here for a while to let us listen to it now. Enjoy while you can and say thanks. Amen. Peace and Love.
Arguably the best version of this song. Greg on vocals, dickie & duane playing their hearts out. The band has their entire, original lineup on this album. This album may have captured the ABB at their best. Legendary.
A thousand times upvote!!! The best southern rock of all time!! Who’s better? Long live this music!!!!
Prob best southern white blues band. If we're talking southern rock I think most people know the answer whether they'll admit it is another story 😂😂
This is the BEST blues song EVER done! LOVE IT!
This remains one of the best blues pieces of all time, even today, over 40 years later.
Absolutely. Duane just tears up the neck of the that wonderful Gibson.
Hell yeah! No doubt about it!
This song could go on for 2 hours and I would still be in a state of southern blues roots nirvana! Gregg, Berry, Jaimoe, Butch, Dickie and the impossibly brilliant Duane...my favorite Allman Bros performance of all time. And one of many heartfelt Duane solos that are technically difficult, but even more soulfully astonishing...The Allman Brothers in the flower of their youth and at the peak of their incredible and gifted musicianship.
can't stop listening, my younger days,so laid back, calming, the best
One of my favorite Allman brothers’ songs…beautiful rendition!
This is and always will be the best ever version of this song ! Timing ,, every note , every drum & cymbal hit, every chord timing and Gregg singing with all his heart : does not get any better !
One of the most soulful solos ever put to tape.
Greg Allman is amazing on this, his voice and his keyboard are beautiful..
Duane's solo (first one) is as perfect a solo as exists in the annals of rock. Every note, every bend, every tone, absolutely flawless. Best white blues players ever, and likely the finest rock band of all time
I always thought that was him in the
first solo, that is one of the best solos
ever , to be sure, incredible talent.
They knew where it came from.
Doesn't matter if you're a rapper, a pop diva, a session musician, or a touring blues player. Doesn't matter what instrument you like to play. You must know this tune and you must be able to play it cold the minute you walk into the studio.

Arguably one of the greatest live performances in blues history. The world feels a little less empty. My soul is forever in the past. Thank you ALL for giving this world something that they can feel. RIP
If you love the blues, you love this song! Brother Duane was truly one of the best!
Rest in peace, Greg. This will always be one of my favorites of your vocals.

wow. Aren't we the sensitive and considerate music critic...
Understandable, never thought about it that way. Appreciate your take.
Beautiful take michael, you were there for history. Lucky you.
you are one lucky guy
One of the best blues bands that ever graced this earth.
AMEN.
Agreed

@Sandra Smith Great story. I saw them Oct 1971 with about 4000 in attendance at Winterland SF. They were big by then as you said.
ok so tears are streaming down my cheeks. i miss these boys i'm not getting old..... music is just not the same. please come back so i can leave this world happy
Philly Stewart
I here you philly, best music ever
its ok philly - you have this station to dial in all the best music in the world - God bless the musical talent of this country -
totally agree.
say to a man she is beautiful you are a punk kid I can tell!
Such subtle and deft nuance to their music. Such mastery of dynamics and true soul to their music. You don't find music like this today. Not even close. It's a lost art. Thank God for CZcams, and people who understand what true music is. Thanks so much posting this!
you'll never find music like this again, i believe. they were incredible.
Yeah, the "soul factor" here is unbelievable. This song is just like a an incredibly heartful and skilfully woven cathederal of soul.
purpix1 good but not sure
the best ever. new them as The Second Coming Jax Florida 1968
Joe Somerville l pm
Richard Betts's solo is my all time favorite. The pure tone, the rhythm, the building crescendo. He really told a story.
I think Duane's was the first solo.
I never knew for sure who played
first. Either way though, Betts was
awesome, better than all the others
that followed imv.
My God with headphones on listening to this song. I can clearly hear every instrument and change up. A good song to calm down and go to sleep. Very late but I think I will listen to it again because once is just not enough.

Exactly, you put on your earbuds and block out the rest of the world and sink into ABB oblivion.
Yep. I like to listen to different parts every time I play the song. The rhythm section is amazing!
THE GREATEST LIVE ALBUM EVER. Gregg Allman was a fantastic blues singer. Chills me to the bone. All were great musician s also. Nobody makes music like this anymore.
no matter how many times i listen to this recording i never seem to tire of it. Duane's technique was just so good. tone, vibrato, dynamics, phrasing, perfect intonation on the bends- the man had it all. and not an insincere note played. each note cuts right through to the soul.
“Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me”....DAMN! What a shame. As good as I’ve ever listened too. I’ve been a fan for fifty years. It never gets old.
Wow! What a legacy Duane left us! RIP sweet guitar man! We love you to this day!
Indeed.
Can you imagine being able to create music that is timeless?
he was the best.....
MrMrfreedom1 Yes!
One of the best, there are many best! I loved em, living in GA i got to see them often.
fantastic music presented with the highest quality and perfection
I've never heard a more soulful rendition of stormy Monday in all my days!!! these white boys have been here before... nuff said!!!
Check out Etta James. She puts more soul in it than anyone.
Bobby Blue Bland in my opinion has the bluest version,but the ABB contemparize it
John Mayall's Blues Breakers with Peter green on guitar did a fine version.
Can blue men sing the whites?
I grew up with Duane and Greg in Pensacola Fl at the Beach ., my brother was a great guitar player and good friends with Duane ., we hung out at the 69 Atlanta Pop Festival on Saturday., unreal.
bull
@@johnstevens3329 l was kinda of wondering the same. That's all she had to say. Oh well.
this song, this is the best anyone's ever done of Stormy Monday. Every time I hear it it gives me chills and I start singing it like some ole man, some ole man missing his baby, but working hard and barely getting by, but he keeps trying.
Eva Cassidy did an exquisite rendition. Look it up.
Greg Allman was the best white blues singer in my opinion. Allman Brothers forever .
Best blues singer.
I would go with best blues
singer ever, I would skip the
color issue altogether.
I'm in Absolute agreement with you for sure.
Damn !!! Great test slide guitarist ever !!!! Thanks Duane for this great Solo !!!
Just a great soulful singer ,Gregg Allman was. He was perfect on this song. Such a Talent!! They shined on this concert!!
We lost a true Artist of music. RIP Greg Allman, you are going to be missed. The mix of Blue, Jazz, and Rock will forever be your claim to fame.
This will play at my wake. God bless the ABB!
Just not too soon brother!
I only clicked on "Like" because there wasn't a "LOVE" button!
I was at the Fillmore when they recorded this live album, about 3 rows back from the stage. Had never heard of them before that night. I was there to hear Johnny Winters and Rick Derringer. But wow, I've seen a lot of bands play live but this was and still is my favorite concert. I remember being mesmerized by the music but especially by the guitar interplay between Duane and Dicky.

drjehu999
Lucky man or woman.......good for you!
Nice memory.. Is the Filmore East venue in San Francisco?
Heard they didn't play the first night till 2am didn't stop till 10 am
Saw the original Bros in 1971 in Memphis Overton Park Shell...outside venue.....they played for hours on a cool spring nite......It was sheer Heaven....
Very, very high level, this blues and this performance. These guys are great.
The great Allman Brothers Band. All anybody has to say
Saw them in 1968. What a memorable night
LORD HAVE MERCY!!! This music still can move 40 years later...one of the best albums EVER!
Music like this makes you wish you could build a time machine to see these guys live, but I was blessed to be able to see Greg Allman live at ThunderValley Casino in Summer 2014....Fucking Awesome!!!

+vegastyphoon Pat Methany huh...I'll look into it
+Roger Miller Huh? They toured for another 40 years or so.
+David Ferrara not this lineup
+Roger Miller yeah
My cousin always told me: "If I had one album I could take with my on a desert island it would be the Allman Bros. live at the Filmore".....makes sense...
charles staats X2
+charles staats I have said the same thing bro; along with a few million others..
I just heard the whole thing on WJCT recently...sure brought back some great memories! I enjoyed jammin' with them at Forest Inn those Sundays of long ago...smoke was so thick, you couldn't see the wall on the opposite side!
And Derek and the Dominos with Duane and Eric.....
Eric Clapton the exploiter of thing great about music. Sorry, but he should have left well enough alone and tried to be original.
A concert promoter friend of mine bragged to us he had booked a band called the Allman bros. to play outside at the Shell venue @ Overton park in Memphis. He sold all 5000 seats quickly, 35000 people showed up! We sat front row and watched this bands historical performance..
ahhhh memories...
That's awesome and easy to believe. I grew up in Boston and saw them for the first time in about 1972 when I was in the 10th grade. Fillmore East is in my mind the best live album ever. Stormy Monday is amazing. Still one of my favorite bands. Great memories...
Live at Fillmore East is my fav album of all time also!!
one of THE BEST blues songs I have ever heard
Lord, take Brother Gregg into your loving arms, and thank You that he is free of his pain.
LeAnn Kaattari k
Bless your heart.
AMEN SISTER
Betts is so often overlooked. The band was great at every player. You can hear the different tones and styles if you try. This album is the greatest LIVE rock album ever made.Gregg sang his butt off.
I m gonna lock in the same room the 1000 ppl that commented about knowing about the best album ever and only open when they eventually agree on the same one
agreed,..saw them back in the day 3 times.....just awesome
Easily the greatest Live album ever made.... not sure what would even be 2nd and whatever it is it is a very distant second.
waiting on columbus
Robert Moore Feat Waiting. I give you that. 1a and 1b.
Oh that voice and the timing of that organ right after Duane's solo. Going to miss hearing that live in concert. RIP Gregg. The best blues singer of all time - of any color
i can't say it enought the allman brothers are the greatest band ever
Certainly the best American band ever.
Still gives me goosebumps to this day, its so damn good. i remember a long time ago i would listen to this with headphones, ALL the problems in the world would dissolve. RIP Gregg.
"Lord have mercy...Lord have mercy on me".
Wonderful music. RIP Duane. You changed my life.
Countless hours listening to Fillmore East. Never tire of these songs. Every time I revisit is like the first time.
What a Classic Band playing a Classic song!! One of the Greatest Rock bands of all time!!!
who ever mixed this should get a Grammy..... beautiful.
+Bruce Blake check out he awesome documentary about it.....Tom Dowd and the language of music. Rocks legendary sound engineer. Lots of Allman bros info.
Tom Dowd is the man, dude and he also remixed it for digital
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE ALLMAN BROTHERS WHEN THEY GET DOWN AND PLAYED THE BLUES!!!!
YES INDEED! RIP Duane - you will be forever missed
No guitar player grabbed me by the balls and made me pay close attention like Duane Allman..........
Bellísimo blues
OR when you want to go the other way - Whipping Post.
NO bad music from these guys! Wore out plenty of 8 trax, cassettes, & 33 1/3 of this great band!!!
I have 5,300 songs in my iTunes (mostly pre-Disco). Of these, 295 are versions of Allman Brothers' songs from the Duane Allman-era. Truly awesome.
The Fillmore was a sacred place of concerts! I never attended, but had the albums of many artists who performed there...and those albums were annointed! e.g. Hendrix, Allmans, Aretha w/Ray Charles... and more! Still precious jewels... for any record collector!
+dggd Blame it on Bill Graham, who gave kids like Carlos Santana and Jimi a place to play and launch careers and the rest of us the fruits of their incredible talents!
Good ole Bill!
+Jay Jensen Hendrix hardly launched his career at the Fillmore he had less than a year to live and was the greatest star in music when he famously played there over 2 nights at the new year of 1970 for the recording of the Band Of Gypsys album. He was already a star when he first went back home to America for Monterey Pop in mid '67 after making his name in England since '66 and releasing Are You Experienced worldwide :)
He played at Fillmore West before leaving for Europe.
Jay Jensen :/ Hendrix never played in any band of his own before relocating to England to form the Experience; if he incidentally played there in a backing group for the Isley Brothers or Little Richard or whoever else which he may well have done it had nothing whatsoever to do with Bill Graham giving "kids like Carlos Santana and Jimi a place to play". Sorry.
R.I.P. Gregg Allman. Your group introduced me to the blues when I was a young kid. For years I have listened mostly to the original masters -- BB King, T.Bone Walker, Wynton Marsalis, countless others, but I never would have learned to love the music were it not for your immortal renditions on Fillmore East Live. You had a great gift and made life so much the better for many of us by your music. Thank you. My respects.
This is probably their GREATEST performance EVER!
Rest in Peace, B.B. King. Thank you for all the beautiful music. I will miss you. Even though I love this version of Stormy Monday, no one sang it like you did.
+Roseanne Salyer i think you might be mixing up your dead blues men ;-)
this *is* a great version though and boy will I miss b b king...
+foobargorch Sorry. Of course, T. Bone Walker wrote the song. I need to wake up before posting.
+foobargorch Amen to that!
i'll deny that!
every one of these greats took the sounds of the time, and transformed them to something else.
chuck berry? t-bone? robert johnson? bach? african drumming? how deep do you go? you can find bits of all of that in there.
music is a cultural artifact and a product of cultural exchange
One of my favorites but Duane's solo here is truly a masterpiece.
One of my first songs I learned on the guitar. Great Song.
This ageless perfection by The Allman Brothers it really doesn't get any better.
dicky betts n Duane allman pure lead guitars genious!!
without a doubt!
A true 24 carat masterpiece. RIP, Duane Allman :-(
I'll never forget seeing them just about every week it seemed at the Warehouse in New Orleans. Will always be one of my all time favorites.
Saw them live twice in 1970, all the original members...all but one are gone now...their live music was the best ever. Fillmore East album is as good as it gets...RIP ALLMANS...
music will never be this good again
After 40 years, I still get chills from this awesome band performance! When this album was released, us guitar players longed for, but would never equal Duane'e tone and soul!
Just so privileged to be a youngen listening to music like this. Thanks be to God!
America's greatest blues rock band.Their albums with Duane are unbelievable.
I was at this concert. 13 years old & in deep trouble, because I was forbidden to go. I never regretted it.
Hey Michele. I was 15 and ran away for wknd to WATKINS GLEN. 600k people. ALLMAN BROS. GRATEFUL DEAD. THE BAND. YEAH. IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!!’ Denise
Macon and the entire south east was hitting the right note back then and I remember when Duane died the ABB inspired my failed musical career but I am 60 ish and still riding and partying
We still hittin the note, but like Dickey said, now it is called country music.
Imagine i would be listening to this music in the early 70s thru a cassette. Everytime I would like to hear it again, I will rewind the tape and play the cassette recorder again for another round of listening. How blessed are these present times. I can listen to this over and over again with the comforts of youtube and other contraptions. I did not even know the title of this song, until of recent, but I was scampering for this wonderful music to hear it again. So here we are, listening to the same tune I heard about 40 years ago. God is Good!!!!
I agree the sound quality on this concert is closer than a studio version. The best part of the members of the "Allman Brothers" is their versatility. They played with so many individuals that were part of other bands. Including long jam sessions with blues and rock and roll legends that are still around. It came so easy and natural to them, they could pull it off with no sweat. Gotta love that kind of talent.
Que grabación tan perfecta para toda la vida.
and this my friends is how god communicates with us
YOU NEVER KNOW FOR SURE, TILL " YOU FINALLY KNOW",& "THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY OUT THAT DOOR"& "THERE'S A MAN DOWN THERE WAITING FOR ME"{LIGHTEN UP, CAUSE "THAT MAN MAY JUST BE A " MARTIAN"{DOES HE PLAY LES PAUL OR JAZZMASTER GUITAR?}}LOL.,
yes, yes, yes!
How incoherent can you even get? Spelling? Wtf
Amen!
What a masterpiece!
Best Music,Ever ! Rockin them Blues !
One of my favorite bands of all time! Listened to this album over and over for years and it never gets old. One of the best "live" recordings of all time. You could feel the magic in the air...
My hero's have always been Musicians, and they still are today.
My all time ever piece of music I musta listened to 1000 times at least.
1000 times? that's it? geez....you are a rookie!!! LOL!! (only kidding).
ONE OF THE GREATEST SOUTHERN ROCK BANDS EVER! Brings back Many Memory's and Many Tears! One of THE GREATEST LEAD GUITAR PLAYER's ALSO! MAY GOD REST THEIR SOUL's! Ride Hard and Live Free! H.Davidson!
Love the song ever since I first heard it. Gregg's work on the keys
adds so much depth to the song too.
how could you dislike this song? shame on you!
I love this song.
+Christian Ley Totally agree with you.
What a band they were. What a performance they gave at The Filmore East.
There will never be another that even compares to Duane Allman!!! RIP Duane and Berry ✌
I closed my eyes and got goosebumps with Duane's solo! Combined with Greg's emotional voice, just doesn't get any better! Miss you both!
Berry, Butch, Greg and Duane. Rest in peace brothers.
RIP Brothers.
one of the greatest live recording in existice period allmans blues no one played them like the brothers did
A co-worker(dishwasher) turned me on to this when I was 15 and it had just came out, had told him how much I loved the Blues.... listening to this in the mountains of Idaho with my head between speakers, nothing has ever been the same.
Damn if this isn't some of the best blues guitar ever.
Ricl Urbina Seriously. If you’re able to listen and not get chills, something is wrong.
