once listened to Tom Dowd, the engineer, about the recording/editing of this iconic live album. He credits the band for their terrific Fillmore performances requiring very little post production.

It's telling that the great rock promoter Bill Graham's favorite act and the one he chose to close his Fillmore East venue was the ABB. The great recording engineer, Tom Dowd, innovator of multitrack recording, also said his favorite band was the Allman Brothers!

Anyone of those guys could have led their own band, they were top musicians each.

Is this not from The Warehouse in NOLA?

Stormy monday, one of the finest blues songs ever.

Will they ever release this video? They have had it for over 50 years. What's the hold up? They released Jimi Hendrix from the same festival. Why not the ABB?

Whoa. Never seen this! 🙏

Awesome footage, thank you

As always-thanks for these posts.

You're successful on several levels Dr.B

Fantastic ❤😊

I was there. First time seeing the ABB. I've seen hundreds of concerts and this one is in my top 10.

Dickey - Warren magic was still there in 96. Both leads are outstanding. Dickey’s handoff to Warren was perfect . Jaimie, Butch , Allen and Gregg’s work opening up the holes allowed the band to majestically take that ball into the end zone . This is a killer Dreams !

Underrated.

It's all comes from the Muscle Shoals scene.

Hope you dig in to closing night at Fillmore where Bill Graham picked the ABB as the final act.

Love it! And how Duane learned to play slide with a medicine bottle.

Florida, it's not the heat, it's the stupidity

They could go on for hours... They were that good!

Way to many people here now and more coming every day 💔😢

Skydog!

They were incredible for sure. I think Blue Sky is one of the most underrated piece of music of all time…. And I’ve heard the Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East was one of the best live recordings of all time which I agree to, too bad the video didn’t match the excellence of the audio!

Really. Cool. Had the pleasure of seeing them. And also doing the allmaan betts. Revival.

Cool

Good take. Brother Duane had a unique talent to play with and off of musicians as they performed.. if he had to take the lead he would kick ass

The original ABB was the best live band I ever saw. A friend who went to the Atlanta appointment Festival in 1970 came home and told me how amazing this band was. Which is pretty impressive when you see a list of all artists who played there. It took me another year before I got the chance to see them. I saw them twice in a four month stretch. They were the best sounding and coolest looking band and I was especially proud because they were Southern boys. I loved the sound of Duane and Dickey’s playing totally different until they played in unison which made the hair on your neck stand up.

we’ve learned brother Duane made his talents known by doing so much session work with many of the soul artists of the time. Muscle Shoals Alabama was where it was at🎸🇺🇸😎. thanks for your channel and everything you contribute. I love it.

BEST F-CKING BAND EVER ! EVER!!!

Long live the Allman Brothers band. I’ve been a fan since 1971 favorite tune is in memory of Elizabeth Reed.. Thanks for all you have on your channel here. Very interesting.

Great story, keep 'em coming. Eat a peach for peace!

Allman Brothers forever....the greatest live musicianship ever by any rock band.

Long live the ABB 🤘

A huge moment. Incredible.

This is definitely the worst Allman Brothers Band album and Reach For The Sky is a close second. I’ll admit that I own both of these albums but, the only reason is because I’m a completists when it comes to them.

Your conclusions are right on the money Dr. B. I heard Luther Dickinson say one night,my parents weren't religious, but they were about Duane Allman

Yeah Bob…it’s the worst. Knowing the great music ABB was capable of makes Brothers of the Road a chore to listen to. I bought the cassette way back early ‘80s and only listened to it once or twice in 40 years. This is what happens when people like Clive Davis get involved. If he just let the band do their thing and kept his filthy hands off of it, it may have turned out half way decent…but that synth. Good grief.

Brothers Of The Road is definitely worse than Reach For The Sky. The latter, in addition to having Jaimoe playing on it, has 'So Long', the Betts instrumental 'From The Madness Of The West', and 'Mystery Woman'. Pretty good songs given the times. The album also has several terrible clunkers, but IMO every song on Brothers Of The Road is a terrible clunker. Watch Gregg lip sync 'Straight From The Heart' on Solid Gold if you don't believe me...

His New Years Resolutuon is my favorite quote ever from Duane. I borrowed it from him and will use it every year from here until... 🙏

Allman Brothers Band musical genious longgevity

I've only ever been to 1 show that was recorded and that was recently. Before Kenny Wayne started his last tour, the one celebrating the 25 year anniversary of his 2nd album, called 'Trouble Is...', he did what was supposed to be, AFAIK, just a single show here in his hometown of Shreveport, LA. It was UNBELIEVABLE. But they recorded that for a DVD/Blu-ray release. He said at the beginning that they may do 1 or more songs over since they're recording it but they ended up not having to. One thing that did aggravate me was paying for a DVD for 1 specific song and THEY TOOK THAT SONG OFF THE DVD! It's the only song from the entire show that wasn't on there. So I was extremely aggravated after waiting 11 months for it. They seriously took the best song of the entire night off of the DVD. Why? All I can figure is because Kenny almost went into feedback one 1 single note he was holding. Besides that, it was AWESOME. The stage was filled with his Dumbles in Fender clothing and it was glorious. God they sounded incredible. I was watching the live stream of the show they played the next night and I made a comment in chat that "I bet I was the only person there wondering how many of those amps are Dumbles". His dad, Shotgun Ken Shepherd, answered me. "All of them are". I had no idea. I thought Kenny only had a couple. Nope. IIRC, Kenny saihe has something like 11 Dumbles in his most recent Rig Rundown that they did during that tour. All those white Fender amps he uses are actually Dumbles. They were either modified or completely gutted and rebuilt like Howard wanted. For example, his Bassman head has at least 2 channels with Dumble on one side and a Marshall circuit on the other.

The double tracked Gregg vocal is hair-raising.

It amazes me how fascinating it still is to get a new glimpse of that event. I think I'm going to have me a good Allman Brothers Band session this Friday night and whip out all of those vinyls that have been calling my name. Thanks again, Bob.

Had it when I was in the USMC

Bobby Caldwell was Winter's best drummer, the sound really came alive when he played. Wish he had stayed longer..

Thankyou so much for sharing!

I visit Dickey often...
