The Allman Brothers Band - Another Fillmore East Pt 1

Review by Belal Jafri

The Allman Brothers Band's Another Fillmore East Pt 1 is a stunning live album that captures the band's raw energy and virtuosity. Recorded in 1971 at the legendary Fillmore East in New York City, the album features some of the band's most iconic songs, including "Statesboro Blues," "Whipping Post," and "Trouble No More."

From the opening notes of "Statesboro Blues," it's clear that the Allman Brothers Band is firing on all cylinders. Duane Allman's searing guitar work and Gregg Allman's soulful vocals are complemented by the powerful rhythm section of Jaimoe and Butch Trucks on drums and Berry Oakley on bass. The extended jams on songs like "You Don't Love Me" and "Hot 'Lanta" showcase the band's improvisational prowess and highlight the interplay between the musicians.

The album also features a standout performance by Dickey Betts on "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," which features his signature melodic guitar lines and showcases his songwriting abilities. The album closes with a blistering rendition of "Whipping Post," which features some of Duane Allman's most intense and emotional playing.

Another Fillmore East Pt 1 is a must-have for any fan of the Allman Brothers Band or classic rock in general. It's a testament to the band's musical legacy and serves as a reminder of their incredible live performances.
