I was lucky to live a short ride from the Fillmore East. I went to all the shows there. Saw this show, saw the Live At The Fillmore show in March, saw them on the last day of the Fillmore. I'm seeing this vid for the first time, didn't know there were any from those shows. Now everyone can see an example of what it was like. How awesome to see this, and with shots of the audience and I'm one of them. This was over 50 years ago, but this old man is still a stoner, rock and roller. Rock on, all you Allman Brothers fans. You have good taste in music.

It's damn good & i was lucky to have seen them twice with this original line up . Once at RFK & once at American University both in 1970. Opinions be damned they were the best of the best. The only crummy thing about this recording which i have an old copy where you can barely hear Greg on Dreams till the very end is all, now it seems they have cleared it up best they could as this is better than my copy as i can hear Greg better than the original release of this Historic moment in real rock history.

[@billc6087]

If you weren't alive to hear this when they first appeared, there's no way to explain how remarkable their sound was. You can listen now thankfully, but to be 20 years young and hearing this for the first time was simply amazing. I'm so glad I was. I didn't get to this venue, but I made it to others for which I am eternally grateful.

[@rcnotes]

I saw the ABB come together in the late 60's when I was in high school in Jacksonville. Jax Beach Coliseum, the Forrest Inn, Cedar Hills Armory, the Be In jams in Riverside. All this gave birth to what followed. Jacksonville was a hot bed of rock n roll music back then.

Just think what he would be playing like if he had been around the whole time like Clapton is . WOW . RIP Duane

I was 17 in 1970 and they were still not real well known when this was recorded. This was a showcase for new bands at The Fillmore. Unbelievable band, sad that two crucial members died within two years of this show.

This was a magical time of music making. I am 75 and still relishing the the unity of this group of amazing musicians in a time when so much music is synthesised or copied or digitally manipulated. The Allman Brothers were original and so creative in their music making from what came out of their heads and their hands.

[@tedschmidt3288]

Yes it was.❤

[@rockyrovere2526]

I’ve commented many times about seeing the guys from the very beginning at least 15 times all over the Northeast. They played every venue from here to small clubs to many college campus. Paid $1.50 to $20.00 at the Spectrum in Philly when they topped the bill. I been playin 52 yrs and am their age and also agree with every good comment , even from the younger fans and musicians. The main reason for writing this is that this version with Liz Reed really ( hard to believe) is what draws you to them . Skydog was undoubtedly the finest Coriciden slide musician of the modern age, but this shows all of them walking the dog. The double leads, both drummers, Greg playing the B3 , using “Leslies”, and Berry’s fine ,fine bass backbone. Many passed to heaven back then, but we really mourned Berry and Duane’s death. Big eerie blow. But they lived on and stayed strong.Sorry for taking so long. Peace, Rocky

[@swyman10]

I saw em 3 times, the last time was at Watkins Glen. They were my older brother’s favorite band, no other was better live that’s for sure. I was a drummer & LOVED the dual drummers, what a sound, has never been matched to this day! RIP ABB ☮️
