The Allman Brothers Band -- At Fillmore East
Live virtuoso Southern Blues double LP masterpiece. Unlike other Southern bands they ditch the Hard Rock style and focus on traditional Blues with Jazz improvisations ... apparently the band was so into the concert it lasted well into the early hours of the morning, only noticeable to them when someone opened a door and the sunlight crept it's way into the Fillmore. The album stands as a last testament of guitar legend Duane Allman (their next release Eat A Peach had some live tracks taken from the Fillmore concerts, not featured on this set) ... and what is that he's hiding in his hand on the cover with the sh*t eating grin? Hmmmmm, maybe a little dose of inspiration?
