Allman Brothers Band: Fillmore East
built 641 days ago
In October 1989, the Allman Brothers Band headlined the Beacon Theater in New York City for four nights, inaugurating a live performance tradition of multi-night stands that persists to the present. Their lengthy annual tours grew to include long stops in major cities, featuring ever-changing set lists: six shows at New York's Radio City Music Hall and five nights at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia, as well as multiple nights at the Wiltern in Los Angeles, the Warfield in San Francisco, Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, the Orpheum in Boston and the Fox Theater in Atlanta, among others.

SouthBound is more than a musical tribute to the Allman Brothers Band; it's ... one of the best damn bands you’ll ever hear in concert. A SouthBound concert captures the music and spirit of the world's greatest Southern rock band. Two drummers on every tune, two screaming guitars on "Rambling Man", wistful vocals on "Midnight Rider", slinky slide solos on "One Way Out", the frenetic energy of "Whipping Post"...all more powerful than the originals. Signature details blend with classic jams and improvisations, creating a once-in-a-lifetime live concert experience. Close your eyes, and you’ll think you’re actually at the Fillmore East with the Allmans in 1971.

Next, the Brothers dropped a bomb, Allman Brothers At Fillmore East (a two-record set edited down from two marathon shows), that proved how powerful, seasoned, and virtuosic they were in concert. Blues covers (Blind Willie McTell, T-Bone Walker, Elmore James) and lengthy jams dominated, and the record cemented their reputation as one of the best American bands of their day. "One Way Out" and the half-hour "Mountain Jam" (based on Donovan's "First There Is A Mountain"), were recorded during the same concerts and became highlights of their next record, Eat A Peach. The entire, unedited two-night stand at Fillmore was issued in 1992 as The Fillmore Concerts.
