Extended version on Patreon:   / jtcurtis   JTC reviews The Allman Brothers Band’s definitive Live album At Fillmore East featuring brothers Gregg and Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Butch Truck and Jaimoe. The Album includes the classic Statesboro Blues, Stormy Monday, Hot 'Lanta, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed and Whipping Post. It has often been referred to as rock's greatest live album, but is it really? #allmanbrothers #liverecord #albumreview #greatest #livealbum #historyofrock Hailed from Macon Georgia, The Allman Brothers Band is often referred to as Southern Rock, but also incorporated elements of the blues and jazz genres. The band was original formed and led by guitarist Duane Allman, already a notable session musician having performed on Wilson Pickett’s version of The Beatles’ Hey Jude, Aretha Franklin’s version of The Weight, and famously with Eric Clapton on Derek and the Dominos Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, where he arranged the famous guitar riff. His brother Gregg, vocalist and keyboardist, had performed in several groups together, but they joined forces with The Second Coming members guitarist Richard ‘Dickey’ Betts and bassist Berry Oakley along with duo drummers Butch Trucks and Jai Johanny Johanson, better known as Jaimoe. Together they formed the band in 1969 and cut their first record with Capricorn Records, featuring the songs “It's Not My Cross to Bear,” “Dreams” (not to be confused with the Fleetwood Mac song) and a five minute rendition of “Whipping Post” all penned by Gregg Allman. The album was a slow seller, but the band gained a following with a rigorous touring schedule, over 300 dates in 1970. Their crew included The Red Dog, Kim Payne, Mike Callahan, and tour manager Twiggs Lyndon, who would be arrested for stabbing and killing a promoter in 1970. The band’s live performances showcased extended jamming between Duane and Dickey inspired from listening to Miles Davis and John Coltrane, adding to their following. Their second album, Idlewild South, was produced by Tom Dowd and featured the Gregg Allman classics “Midnight Rider” and “Please Call Home” while Dickey Betts contributed “Revival” and “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.” Frustrated with their studio releases, they planned their 3rd album to be recorded live and chose Bill Graham’s venue The Fillmore East in New York City to capture the performances. Despite a few hiccups like some out of tune horn players and someone calling in a bomb scare, the March 11, 12 & 13 shows contained some of the finest performances in rock history, including the blues Blind Willie McTell’s “Statesboro Blues,” Elmore James’ “Done Somebody Wrong”, both of which featured Duane’s iconic bottleneck slide guitar and Gregg’s soulful vocals, T-Bone Walker’s “Stormy Monday,” ; and a 19 minute adventurous cover of Willie Cobbs / Junior Wells’ “You Don’t Love Me” where Duane quoted “Joy to the World”. The double album also included the more jazz-flavored jams like the collaborative “Hot ‘Lanta” in 6/8 time, “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed,” and the 23 minute version of “Whipping Post” featuring extended solos by Duane and Dickey. The album was released on July 6, 1971 and was a success and peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Charts. But sadly the excitement would not last as Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident at the age of 24. Only a year later, Berry Oakley was also killed in an eerily similar motorcycle accident, only a few blocks from where Duane died and was also 24. Nevertheless, the band carried on, releasing the top 10 album Eat a Peach in 1972 featuring more tracks from the Fillmore like “Done Somebody Wrong,” “Trouble No More” and the 33 minute “Mountain Jam”. Studio cuts included the Duane penned “Little Martha” along with tracks produced after Duane’s death, “Ain’t Wasting Time No More” and “Melissa.” The Duane Allman Anthology discs would also include cuts from The Fillmore like “Don’t Keep me Wonderin’” and “Midnight Rider.” 1973’s Brothers and Sisters featured Chuck Leavell on piano and bassist Lamar Williams. The album was the best selling of their career thanks to the hit song “Ramblin’ Man”, written and sung by Dickey Betts, who also penned the fan favorite “Jessica”. The band would also campaign for President Jimmy Carter. Unfortunately with drug use rampant, along with the public marriage between Gregg Allman and Cher, the band started to fall apart 1976. Over the years there would be many reunions and lineup changes, notably featuring guitarist / singer Warren Haynes (later of Gov’t Mule) who penned the fan-favorite Soulshine in 1994. Later young guitarist Derek Trucks would join the lineup. But the band officially called it quits in 2014, performing their final show at the Beacon Theatre, and both Gregg Allman and Butch Trucks died at the age of 69 in 2017. In 2024, Dickey Betts died leaving Jaimoe as the last surviving member of the original Allman Brothers Band.
