At Fillmore East

One thing I've learned from this project is that I don't like jam bands. I imagine this is what prog music sounds like to people that don't like prog.

Goes on a bit. High fretted solos. Nah.

I have a very low tolerance for long jam sessions. The Dead are not for me.
I really enjoyed the first half of this album. I love me some excellent blues guitar! but they lost me with the last two songs

Nothing special, but it's well recorded and the singer has a good voice. Just too generic

Not sure this is the genre for me

1h20 of jam session over the same 3 chord progressions

Nice vibe I guess

Actually second half was better

The second half of this album is incredible. In memory of Elizabeth Reed and Whipping Post are really cool songs with amazing jams. The first half I found boring as hell. It was just boring blues songs with extended guitar solos. I like jams that showcase the whole band, not just filler songs for someone to noodle over. Elizabeth Reed was the highlight for me, that jam was just awesome, you could really feel the bands energy. Same with whipping post but I loved the sound of Elizabeth Reed better, it definitely veered away from the blues focus into something more interesting.

Old-school jamming. Reminds me too much of Jazz which is not my cup of tea.

Don’t know why anyone would need to listen to this dead or alive

Inoffensive but just not very interesting

I almost really like this but the aimless jamming just goes one for a bit too long.

Good bluesy music. I have a hard time getting into the just jamming/live music vibe, but this was better than most.

Jam Session aus Western, Rock und Jazz Elementen. Man spürt die Power in den. Songs und die Wirkung auf das Publikum der Live-Abende. Insgesamt fesselt das Album zu wenig und hat keinen prägenden Highlight Song.

It’s long, it’s jammy, it’s blues. Can’t ask for too much more than that. Some great playing and a good recording. Problem with live albums is they just make me wish I was there.

Statesboro Blues is a fun blues opener. Really enjoying this one, 3*. Was thinking of giving it a 4*, but it really rambled unnecessarily in the back half.
Not much more to say other than I'm learning I really like blues. For a live, jam session kind of album, this one was ok. Also like You Don't Love Me.

I couldn't finish this album - 80 minutes of rambling jam band is way too much. Not for me.

Pretty cool if you want to listen to a 20 minute guitar solo. I don't. 2.71

Maybe it would be different if I drove a beaten up 68 Chevy pickup, but the whole jam band movement really passes me by. Yeah, you guys can play guitar, but I just don't care that you can play guitar.

Great Concert. A lot of fun. I'm not that into southern rock, but still enjoyed it.

Proto jam band is good.

Along with Live/Dead this is the best live album there is, capturing the red-hot Allman Brothers giving birth to the jamband. Duane Allman is unstoppable on slide guitar - the phrasing, the rough-fuzzy tone that becomes crystaline as he climbs the neck, the electrifying runs and perfect fills between his brother's lines. Dickey Betts isn't bad either, adding major-key country melodies and jazz sensibilities that bring a joyful climax the blues jams. Gregg Allman's singing is deep and corny and moving; the drummers can't stop and Berry Oakley's bass holds it all together. The only thing wrong with this album is that it isn't the deluxe edition, where Whipping Post fades and those first few gentle notes of Mountain Jam kick emerge. Blues rock should have stopped after this really as what's the point, but don't hold the millions of tiresome blues-dads that followed them against the Allman Brothers, this is an all-timer.
