Summary:
On this date, Bill Graham assembled a stellar roster of bands to participate in the filming of a television special called Welcome To The Fillmore East for broadcast on educational channels. Short sets were filmed by the Byrds, the Elvin Bishop Group, Sha-Na-Na, Van Morrison, and the Allman Brothers Band, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of Bill Graham and the Fillmore East staff at work.
The Allman Brothers performance is nothing short of spectacular and features the original lineup that included Duane Allman and Berry Oakley. Recorded six months prior to the legendary Live At Fillmore East double album set, this performance captures the Allman Brothers when they were a relatively new band, full of youthful passion and performing what would become classic original material when it was fresh and new.
Following Bill Graham's introduction, they kick things off with a tight performance of "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'," which features the band's friend, Tom Doucette, blowing harp over the group's trademark sound. Gregg's vocal is barely audible, but it's obvious the group is full of fire. "Dreams," which follows, slows things down a bit and the group establishes a relaxed groove that showcases their trademark sound, blending elements that would eventually come to define "Southern Rock."
They hit their stride on the next number, Dickey Betts' "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed." Here, the dual guitar attack of Allman and Betts is astounding. The two guitarists intertwine and synchronize in a manner nothing short of telepathic, creating a melting pot seasoned with elements of jazz, rock, country, and blues into a style utterly their own. The set ends with a ferocious take of "Whipping Post" that features outstanding melodic bass playing from Berry Oakley, with both Duane Allman and Dickey Betts soaring over the propulsive rhythm section. Shorter than the expansive versions that would develop in coming months, this is all the more fascinating for it, as they compress an incredible amount of energy into the time allotted.
Time constrictions and vocal microphone malfunctions aside, this is still a fascinating performance. This original lineup of the band was certainly one of the most innovative and captivating bands to ever play the Fillmore.

I was at this show. I was a regular at the Fillmore East. It was close and tickets were 4 to 5 dollars. We could afford to go every week. I was the right age, in the right place, and got to witness rock and roll history. The legends all played there. The music they gave us is still considered rock and roll gold.

Happy birthday skydog! Duane would have been 71 yrs old today. 11/20/46. We can only imagine what he would have contributed to the music world. He had contributed so much already at 24.

[@ptflats]

I think he had hit his peak already ala Eric Clapton great guitarist whose best work was all early on. Duane had already influenced so many artists as a sessions guitarist before the ABB. His unique blues and Jazz influenced playing made Dickey Betts the monster guitarist he became and he took over leadership after Duane left way too early.

Too Sad you missed a Live Performance. These guys were Southern Rock.

[@guyr.c.606]

I suspect I'm not alone when I find myself as emotionally gripped by the passion of Dickey Betts guitar work as I am by Duane Allman in this awesome early performance. They were the perfect foil for each others approach , contrasting and distinct in their tone and feel but capable of playing as though of one mind, lost in the melodic but, found in the harmonic, a band in sync but sympathetic to living in the moment. Their music is so compelling, it's complex but accessible, uncompromising but never elitist, an antidote to all that's bland and formuleric in modern music. The Allman Brothers band are inclusive, nurturing the talents of guitarists like Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, and very much a musical family who while carrying the torch within the band have broken new ground in various bands and musical collaborations taking their music to new places and new heights of virtuosity and in the process Inspire a new generation of musicians.

I'll tell you this, no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.

Duane's incredible gift for finding his place for the pitch he wanted no matter where on the neck he began a slide from was always uncanny. This video captures much of that magic. Quick stops, down, up vibrato, pitch and timing perfect dives - amazing stuff. Derek Trucks is the closest I've heard since, but Duane always sounded so spontaneous that you felt in in your spine.

[@STSGuitar16]

Spontaneous is a fantastic way of describing his playing. It almost feels like a tightrope act all the way through one of his blistering slide solos in a way. In my opinion, Derek has truly taken Duane's ideas and approach to slide playing and taken them to an even higher level. Duane was playing it unlike anyone else back in his day, and Derek is now doing the same with this generation of music. Both are fantastic for numerous reasons.

Oh, they missed a lot of notes -- not like I blame them. But when you listen to the complete Fillmore recordings, it's obvious why the versions for the original LP were chosen. For some reason there's a good handful of times Dickey Betts loses the downbeat in his solos. On an outtake of Hot 'Lanta, for instance, he somehow winds up a half-measure ahead of the rest of the band, and it really fucks everyone up.

When I build my time machine, I'm going back to see this show... live... tripping...

[@michaelfishman8137]

Save me a seat!

[@hammer44head]

This one is good but shortened due to the tv people being there recording it, The last show at the Fillmore East with the ALlman's was the one to see where they played for hours and hours.

[@michellebaker3410]

Gary Shunk That would be awesome if it was possible. I would definitely go 😊

[@debbieemerson1449]

Gary Shunk Can I come too?

[@garyshunk6171]

Yes... yes you can..

[@TEXASFENDERBENDER]

Oakley was certainly one of the greatest Bass players in Rock history.

[@mekell2188]

Amen !

[@glennsnewmark]

And underrated. A huge influence on anyone who has ever played the electric bass.

[@josiahgust]

His son plays bass with Gregg and Dickey’s sons now. It’s fun to see them carrying on the legacy.

When I build my time machine, I’m going back to Macon and slit that Harley rear tire. I miss the Original Allman Brothers. I listen to ABB every day.

[@mikemadden2729]

I heard they both had Triumphs.

[@biggawinnacrapsa3870]

I listen to ABBA every day. 'Does Your Mother Know?'

[@butchcassidy3373]

Every time I ride by the spot he got killed in Macon tears come into my eyes. As an aspiring musician, his loss was unbearable.

[@kellyfitzpatrick4355]

Could you please go do something about young Donald T while you're at it?

[@cravinbob]

If you go back in time with a time machine the time machine will cease to exist that is why every time one is built it disappears.

Being blind is not a musical hindrance, it is a musical benefit when you can see with your ears!

R.I.P Greg Allman. Your memory will live on through your music.

[@bringbackreagan1]

Every time I come on any of the old Allman Brothers, with Duane especially, I hit LIKE each time!

[@benvyule779]

This music is gone forever,. Thankfully we have the recordings for those who weren't around then. My wife's best friend lived in Texas and seen them playing in a bar, a bar They were out the door in the parking lot listing to The Greatest Southern Rock Band of all time.R.I.P DICKEY BETTS.

[@macnchessplz]

This music isn’t gone.The era is (this generation produced the very BEST music based on human experience).

[@doctorgarbonzo2525]

Here we meet again! Another force of nature has passed, God Bless the Allman Bros

[@jenbar54]

Now both brothers are immortal...thanks for the music, Gregg and Duane. Rest In Peace.

[@RobertoTrama]

Simply sublime, spiritual and otherworldly. It doesn't get any better than listening to a perfect group of musicians having fun together.

[@mikeenike13able]

This is easily some of the best music you’ll ever hear, whatever you’re doing it doesn’t matter. This is serious music right here

[@funkidelicFrank]

I can always come back to this recording and be reminded of how good things can be.

[@screeningmimi]

Me too. That's why I've grabbed every one of the very small collection showing the band at play. ;D

[@robmeckfessel9921]

It doesn't get any better than this.

[@Oszych2]

Every time I listen to Duan or Gregg playin' - It's like an hug of your best friend. This music is like sayin: "Don't bother bro, everything will be all right." It's so fluent, streamlined, flowing in time - like there is no yesterday or tomorrow. Greegg's voice so calm. All band sound so natural . . .

[@richardedgerton4215]

the sound of brotherly love

Butch said it was a perfect night with no problems and very rare

[@michaelbirke6050]

Watching this the day after Dickey’s passing. I’m still shaken by it. My favorite band. I really never quite understood why. They just touched my musical soul like no other band. Their guitars were like waving magic wand’s over my ears. I miss them all greatly.

[@dalepurvis2412]

Man I'm right there with you brother. The songs are stitched to the fabric of my soul. Born in '58 and the notes still sound so fresh.

I can't get enough of the Allman Brothers with Duane.

Same. My favorite band to listen to in the fall, their music fits Baton Rouge so well! Anyways cheers!!

[@cityzen2717]

The man could play!

[@Kedbuka]

Me too.

[@chriscrawford2401]

That's the only Allman Brothers - with Duane and Barry. Everything since is a tribute band.

[@johnbristow4981]

@@chriscrawford2401 it has been said that there was this force field flying between Duane and Barry and the rest of the band were captive in it. I think that was a very accurate description of what was going on. They were a force of nature!!

[@willthacker5182]

Man duanes first solo in whipping post is epic. I wish he'd have stuck around longer. What an awesome group the Allman brothers were with Duane leading.

[@bluesriot2]

+Will Thacker when people at concerts other than Allman Bros used to shout out a request to what ever band was onstage for "Whipping Post" - this version could very well be the reason why - that was amazing right?

[@willinnewhaven3285]

Maybe some did it for that reason but we did it because the band onstage couldn't play for shit and we were being assholes about it. Not nice but that's what happened.

[@Wayner71]

The great Duane left us way too soon. Imagine what they could have achieved in the 1970's if he had lived.

[@herbertrichard614]

True, however following the death of Duane Allman the bands next two records went to No. 7 and No. 1. They carried on. Duane Allman is the greatest musician in history. That said, had he lived would the Allan Brothers conquered the world? Can't say.

[@andyfletcher4573]

Dickey and all of them legends. Listened to them endlessly as a kid

[@cowboysfan782008]

I so much wanted to go to this concert but my mom would have none of it. She's like "Jesus you won't even be 2yrs old until December", you are not going to some rock concert. "And especially not some long hair southern hippy boy rock concert".I haven't spoken to her since.

[@BD-ve5ru]

I am deeply saddened by the terrible news. RIP to one of the greatest blues voices there ever was. My deepest condolences go out to his friends and family. Rest in peace Greg, you are gone but never forgotten.

Arguably America's Greatest Band!!

it's between allman bros, velvet underground and the doors imho

I’ve been listening to the ABB for about 40 years now and I absolutely love their music and still do. R.I.P. brothers.

[@kevinbibler1020]

Surviving Duane and Barry's deaths is a testament to how good these dudes were. How many bands could recover from such tragedy.

[@MichaelMitchell-eo6cb]

It’s amazing how many great rock talents either died or had bad crashes on motorcycles back then. Bon Scott,Duane,Barry and more.

[@Bix12]

Now the sad news Gregg has finally joined his brother Duane. RIP brothers Allman. Wonder if this crowd realized at the time they were witnessing one of the greatest live performances in rock history...

[@billyburns9043]

I'm wondering why they never hardly show Duanes hands when he's playing the guitar especially when he's playing slide guitar ?

[@dbrooks9398]

ABSOLUTELY !!

[@davidbarnich9436]

Such great musicians ...RIP ...Duane , Berry , Gregg ,

[@jeffreyfoster3444]

My god, if only I could give this video 10 thumbs up. Pure greatness. Even with the vocals kinda screwy in the beginning, everyone else picks it up for it in big ways. What chemistry!!!!!

[@Geo68cream]

I was there when Bill Graham announced that he would be recording the concert, it was the second show back in the day they would play two shows a night,one of the best concerts I' ever saw they where so tight great band RIP Allmans

[@may5588]

to me Duane Allman was one of the best guitarist ever

[@walkert4134]

+may55 god took the wrong one

[@may5588]

It is so sad, but God taking either one is an awful thought. We miss Duane Allman for sure, rip Duane, you were awesome, you made our summer great that year...We played the Live at the Fillmore East Album over and over my man......

[@Shereeee45]

I really don't understand how you could say such a thing. Duane is truly missed for sure, and to be taken at such an early age was even more tragic, BUT God chose him for a reason beyond my knowledge or yours...

[@Shereeee45]

He wasn't one of the best, he was and is "THE BEST" but that is just my opinion.

[@may5588]

the best yes and of course God has His reasons, He is the Almighty not you or me...wow no need to get defensive, he is missed on earth for sure, that is what I meant,....MsFancyPants, nothing more

Not really sure about all the various theories concerning an afterlife ---- but it is somewhat comforting to think of Dickey Betts joining Duane and Greg Allman, Berry Oakley and Butch Trucks to play together again. RIP Mr. Dickey Betts.

I love this band. Wish Duane's career wasn't so short. Very sad. Legends never die though!

Duane was the man no doubt!

[@stargazer6753]

Absolutely, in a category all his own. When you look at brother Gregg Allman from age 17 till the day he died , also in a category all his own. Think about the music , not the social stuff, in case you are in doubt. What great American rock music!

I am completely beside myself, never seen the original line-up play together in person or on video.... my God that whipping post, every single one of these band members is a master of their own craft, it's like watching a rocket take off, they don't stop...

The soul in this band will live on forever. They put heart and honesty into every note they played, every word Gregg sang came from the heart. The Allman Brothers brought our band together, and or mission along with many other bands is to keep the purity of this music alive and well.
