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."

The Allman Brothers mentions lead me to think about another great one. Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus.

[BigAsh]

"Blood on the Tracks" and "Desire"...Dylan at his best....

[Bill86]

Looking back through this thread I forgot GnR, AC/DC, STP, Pantera, and The Eagles.

This thread is reminding me of all the music I have and haven't listened to in a good bit.

This is why I love these kind of threads, not only do I find people with similar tastes, but it also reminds me of the good stuff I have.

The new album from Dave Alvin "Eleven Eleven" is fantastic. It's about to hit my top ten. Alvin is one of the best songwriters today and is grossly underappreciated.

Van Halen 1 – Can you hear the car horn when the needle drops on side 1?
Bowie – Scary Monsters. I can listen to this first song to last over and over again. Pete Townsend did a guest spot.
Soundgarden – Bad Motorfinger. Heavy like a sledge hammer on hot tar
Mike Patton – Mondo Cane. If you like faith no more and want to hear what Mike has been up to buy it. Most of the songs are in Italian.
Nirvana - In utero.
Guns and Roses - chinese democracy - call me crazy but, I was one of the few who thought is was almost worth the wait.

So many more I could go on but I think that I will stick with those as my full album (cd) picks. Elvis, Zep, Willie, Kanye, Ice Cube, Johnny Cash, Def Tones, U2, Foos and so many more from my younger days working in a record store to what I like today.

Great thread thanks. I'm going to hit submit now so I don't keep adding to my list.

OMG Yes SOUNDGARDEN, totally forgot about this amazing album, good call!

Have The Black Keys been mentioned yet? Blues rock at it's best, as only two pasty guys from Akron could do it. Rubber Factory, Their debut record, is arguably their best, and probably one of my favorite albums, period.

Just Couldn't Tie Me Down- From "Rubber Factory"


Keep Your Hands Off her- From "Chulahoma"

Goodbye Babylon- from "Magic Potion"

So He Won't Break- From "Attack and Release"

Tighten up- From "Brothers"

I love this thread, and my music taste is really all over the place but, just scrolled through the whole thread, and noticed a few glaring ommisions:

Radiohead - OK Computer. Easily one of the most different albums of the last 20 years. For all you Pink Floyd fans, its def worth a listen.

Pearl Jam - Ten. I've seen all of the Seattle bands listed, but not PJ. They are the longest lasting, and for good reason, great music, great shows, and just all around one of the coolest bands.

Alice in Chains - MTV Unplugged. If you love AiC, this is a MUST own.

Sparta - Wiretap Scars. Sadly these guys broke up, but this is by far their best effort, check it out if you dig hard yet melodic tunes.

Death Cab for Cutie - Codes and Keys. Latest work, pretty good listen, I've had a hard time putting it down.

Dave Matthews Band - Dave & Tim live at Reynolds College - amazing 2 disc set. The version of One Sweet World, is by far my favorite of all Dave's live stuff.

Verve Pipe - Villians - very little known band, with exception of their one hit, The Freshman. Rest of this album is amazing, and most def worth a listen.

I could go on for hours and hours, but I think I'll put some new music on my iPod.
