Fans of The Allman Brothers Band have received the ultimate gift with this 37-track, six-hour collection of live performances of the band with Duane Allman in the driver’s seat. The original album At Fillmore East is a stone classic, edited from several nights in March 1971, and the deluxe issues of the album further expanded the view. But there’s nothing quite like the complete shows. This release includes the unedited performances of their two-night, four-show stand in March, while also including their June 1971 show closing out the Fillmore East after owner Bill Graham had decided to shut down the hall. Considering that Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident in October 1971, these recordings are as precious as they come. The Library of Congress selected the original album for preservation for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically important.” For fans, the extensive jams that hold together the various versions of “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” and “Whipping Post” are just as dear and important.
