OK, so the radio just started playing One Way Out, which leads me to propose that if you do not own The Allman Brothers Live At Fillmore East you have no rock collection.


Discuss, but do not dismiss.

I have The Allman Brothers Eat a Peach Deluxe Edition, that has 2 discs. The second disc is the live concert, from the last time they played at the Fillmore East. I likey very much.

To clarify, a few points you may not know:

First, it was the last time anybody played at the Fillmore East, as they were the closing act. They did it right, and jammed until dawn, though Gregg later claimed they were so lost in the music they didn't realize this until somebody popped the doors open and the rising sun streamed in. Second, that 34-minute Mountain Jam, based upon the Donovan song from 1967, actually begins on the Live At Fillmore East album. The 4th side of that double album was a 23-minute jam of their signature Whipping Post. At the end, as the crowd quiets down, Duane begins noodling out out those first few sweet notes which open the longer jam that follows - "Duh, uupi-doop doop dah uup uup, duh-uup doop doop doo-da uup upp." Then the album fades to silence.

We loyal Allman fans, in mourning of Duane's tragic death, had to wait over a year to find out what that was.

In more ways than one, truth be told. Not only were there shows on Friday March 12th and Saturday March 13th 1971 (not counting the next-dawn slopover ), but even some of the cuts on the album were amalgams of different performances from those sets. To quote Wikipoopia:

"For example, the first seven minutes of "You Don't Love Me" is from the first show on March 13 and the rest (Starting at Duane's solo without the band) is from the second show on March 12."

Ok I'll play, I also have a HUGE collection of music, I have OVER 3,000 cd's not including what's on my computer, congrats to OP for having over 100gbs of music, that is awesome.

Some of my favorites in no particular order:

1. Orange Goblin - Coup De Grace (find this album!)
2. Beastie Boys - Check Your Head (this was the ablum that put them way ahead of the hiphop/rap genre)
3. Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction (not a bad song on this album from front to back)
4. Foo Fighters - s/t (again not a bad song on here)
5. Kyuss - Welcome To Sky Valley (massive album)
6. Fu Manchu - Go For It Live! (2 cd of live badassedness!!)

*edit* forgot a big one

7. AC/DC - Back In Black (a lot of people would say a Bon album, but this one is the 1st one after Bion died and once again not a bad song.....I love Bon too, so don't get me wrong, but this album can never go wrong no matter the setting)

Enjoy
