Good morning metal heads, happy Friday eve! Today's installment, n14 come from the bluesy, funky, foot tapping, head bobbing Allman Brothers Band with their 1st live album at Fillmore East!
The album was released in July 1971 in the United States by Capricorn Records. As the title indicates, the recording took place at the New York City music venue Fillmore East, which was run by concert promoter Bill Graham. It was recorded over the course of three nights in March 1971 and features the band performing extended jam versions of songs such as "Whipping Post", "You Don't Love Me" and "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed." When first commercially released, it was issued as a double LP with just seven songs across four vinyl sides.
At Fillmore East was the band's artistic and commercial breakthrough, and has been considered by some critics to be one of the greatest live albums in rock music. It has also been ranked among the best overall albums by artists and continues to be a top seller in the band's catalog, becoming their first album to go platinum. In 2004, the album was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress, deemed to be "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important" by the National Recording Registry.
I had a listen to it on the way in to work before writing this & I enjoyed it! It's kinda put me in a good mood for the day. A nice feel good album from what I consider, from listening to this, a very good band.
That's all I can muster before I get my wrists slapped for being late for work!
See you guys at 1300GMT for the next installment.
Keep rocking 🤘🏻
