Editorial Reviews
One of the best live albums of all time is about to get considerably better. The Allman Brothers Band's cornerstone LP, At Fillmore East, compiled from the four sets recorded on the weekend of March 12-13, 1971, has been expanded, stretching over six CDs with fifteen unreleased tracks. Additionally, The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings contains the complete June 27 performance during the iconic venue-s final weekend, after the band was handpicked by impresario Bill Graham to headline closing night. The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings captures the most inspired improvisational rock unit ever at the peak of their prodigious powers, blazing their way through extended instrumental elaborations, so taut and virtuosic, that the crowds that packed the Fillmore East on those memorable nights were utterly transfixed. When it came to live performance, no other band could touch the Allmans.
'The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings' includes 37 tracks, 15 previously unreleased and a 36 page booklet with extended liner notes and never-before-seen images of the Fillmore concerts.

It has been a stellar couple of years musically for me personally as first they release the complete Humble Pie Fillmore concerts then the complete Deep Purple Made in Japan shows and now another of my holy grail's with the Allman Brothers Fillmore 6 CD box. Not to be greedy but hope to get the Stones three complete 1969 Ya Ya's MSG shows and four Hendrix 69/70 Band of Gypsy's Fillmore shows before I kick.
Not much more I can add about how amazing the Allman's Fillmore East Recordings 6 CD release is other than to say I can't stop listening to it. The remaster by Bill Levenson is superb IMHO and he really brings Duane and Dickey up in the mix so it is a guitar lovers delight. I am hearing subtle things I never heard with all the other releases of the vinyl/ CD I own and I own most of them.
Here is a great new interview by author Alan Paul, who wrote the excellent Allman's book "One Way Out", with the Bill Levenson who did the new mix
http://www.guitarworld.com/allman-brothers-band-compilation-producer-bill-levenson-talks-deluxe-1971-fillmore-east-recordings
Personally I love hearing T.Doucette's harmonica added back in and actually enjoy the sax on the 2 shows from the 12th. Add's an interesting twist to the songs and gives some insight on how Duane envisioned the songs with horns. Also liked hearing Bobby Caldwell playing percussion on the 12th.
Some people are complaining about the redundancy of the set-lists but with the Brothers they never played a song the same way twice so even though we get 5 versions of the same songs in this set they are all a little different which for a fan like myself is an amazing listen.
If anyone has not already read it go get a copy of Bill Graham's (RIP), owner and promoter of the Fillmore East and West, autobiography as he and his staff have some interesting and positive things to say about the Brothers.
Made me smile when one of the staff recollects the first time the Brothers played the Fillmore in 1969 and they all had their doubts when the band set up their beat up Marshall amps to rehearse before the show. Everyone ignored them but came out of their offices when the band began to play and knew they were something special.
Got this off of the Allman's "Hittin The Web with the AB" forum. Not sure who originally created this amazing analysis of all the releases of the Fillmore tracks but thought some may find this interesting

"I had more out-of-body experiences at the Fillmore East than I did anywhere else." Jaimoe, ABB.
Grumblings aside (I too own the original vinyl versions of this concert, the 2 CD Fillmore East set, the 2 CD "Eat A Peach" album, both "Deluxe" versions of the previous two albums, the expanded "Fillmore Concerts" edition, the two volume anthologies of D.Allman, and the "Dreams" box set), am I happy I now have this 6 CD overview of these gigs? Well--yes--simply because this is some of the best live recordings in any genre of music. It just rocks. It soars. And listening to all six discs of this powerful, exciting music is even more stunning than before. I remember when the ABB released their first album to relatively much acclaim, then "Idlewild South", and then the live Fillmore East set. The excitement of hearing that original live vinyl set is still with me all these years since then. And having even more from that series of gigs is very close to that original feeling. But if you're reading this you know what I mean. I was lucky enough to hear the ABB several times in both my town and in the Bay Area, around the time of the original vinyl albums. And this set brings back that same feeling of excitement and wonder at just how good this band could be.
The various unreleased tunes from the March 12th gig add an exciting depth to something I didn't think could get much better. And adding the set from the Fillmore East closing gives this expanded edition even more firepower and excitement. Besides that introduction from Bill Graham of the band (which has a real time machine feel), there's some pretty intense performances of tunes (admittedly which we're all familiar with) that will further extend the band's reputation for both ensemble and solo fireworks. I have to admit that having so much music from the March shows in one nice, neat box is both cool and sonically almost overwhelming. Can this particular series of shows get any better? Now the horn solos are not (at least to my ears) what I think of when I think of the ABB--especially live on stage. To each his own as far as that goes.
In it's own way this music is reminiscent of later period Miles Davis, Coltrane, and The Dead's entire career. The song titles and the opening and closing portions of a song may be familiar, but the body of these songs were improvised differently each time they were played. So while the set lists may look similar, it's the improvisation by the entire band that turned these tunes into something new and exciting each time. And to keep the always tenuous quality of the playing at a high point each time is what the ABB strived for and usually reached. And that's what you'll hear across this collection. Such is the power of this music--a curious thing happened to me while I was listening to this set with my eyes closed. And chalk up what happened next to having a bad head cold/sinus infection and being (legally) medicated. I was listening to an intense "Elizabeth Reed" (you know--where Betts gets REALLY intense) and I opened my eyes and was startled to realize that I was in my own room--not the Fillmore East. Hmmm.
The booklet inside the hard covers (about 9 1/2" X 11 1/2") has some great period photos of the band on stage, and the notes contain some information that may be knew to some fans. But all in all it's a fitting presentation of performances that have become legendary. The (once again) newly remixed sound from the original multi-track tapes is very good--clean with a feeling of some space between the instruments. The discs slip inside paper pockets--partially exposed--not the best way to keep them pristine. Because this music is so incredible (and expensive) I transferred them to three double jewel cases. I suggest you do the same.
If this is the final word on this series of gigs--what a way to go out! I have to admit that I too was on the fence about buying this set. What was once awesome is now somewhere beyond that in overwhelming firepower and importance. But if you're (like me) a deep fan of this music, just pony up the cash and do it. There's no doubt you'll find room on your CD shelf for this amazing set of some of the 20th Century's finest live improvisational music.
Top reviews from other countries
Admittedly, when you look at the original album release, it really is pointless trying to improve on an already perfect album. At Fillmore East was the best representation of what the band could do at that specific point in time and the performances gathered were for the most part, were the best of the bunch. But what was left on the cutting room floor was also of extremely high quality and has been gathered in full on this stunning The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings box set.
For some people, a six disc box set featuring five full shows from the band's 1971 line up might seem like overkill. There are a lot of duplicate songs that will seem a little pointless and that is perfectly understandable. After all, how many of you really want five similar versions of Statesboro Blues or four far out renditions of In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. The feeling of treading the same ground is always there and can be considered a negative for those who don't enjoy such repetition.
However, for the fans that desire to hear the original The Allman Brothers Band line up in their prime will be all over this collection. Each performance features the band's improvisation at it's best and their natural skill at their peak as they blast their way through so many fan favourites with endless amounts of energy and talent. All of which has been superbly preserved with production that easily rivals the original two disc release. The sound is very smooth and has just enough sterility to provide the listener with a great clear sound. By this I mean that there is very little in the way of amplifier humming or crowd noise, the kind of sounds that usually drown out a band on live releases. The lack of such things means the musicians all come across clear as day and have their parts perfectly preserved as a timeless recording.
Frequent listeners of The Allman Brothers Band should know what to expect by this point. Hearing the band crank up a thirty three minute rendition of Mountain Jam is always fun. But where my interest peaked is the recordings that feature the saxophone player, Rudolph "Juicy" Carter. This fellow is only featured on the two shows recorded on March 12th with his presence mainly heard on In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. The addition of a saxophone is quite interesting for someone who has heard the band play this song on numerous live albums. At points the sound of the saxophone mixes well with the guitar, but when Mr Carter attempts a solo, he clearly shows his inability to play to the same standard as the rest of the band. His addition to the March 12th recordings might be off putting for some. For me, it added some much needed change and it makes me wonder what the song would have sounded like had they had a more capable musician on stage with them.
The packaging for The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings is also quite good on the eye. All six CDs are housed in cardboard sleeves next to an extensive beautifully produced book that will give fans insight to the album before them. As far as box sets go, this one does not just sound great but it also feels it. The weighty feel and overall quality is extremely high and is absolutely a must have for fans of The Allman Brothers Band.
For fans like myself who are late comers to the bands music, this box set is a great place to start. Each performance is through the roof in terms of skill and sound. It doesn't beat or replace the original recording but it does expand on it's already widely regarded perfection. With that, it is a shame to say that The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings is currently out of stock physically from most retailers and is going for a shockingly high price. If you fancy picking up these recordings, your best and cheapest option is to look for a digital download via Amazon or other digital music stores. The current asking price on Amazon is £22 and in my opinion, it is worth every penny.

ギターが宙を舞い、クラクラめまいがして来ました。
これが、サラウンドの凄さなんですね!
Las posteriores décadas vieron cómo la Industria acabaría desvirtuando el concepto publicando directos de cualquier grupo en acción, dando una vuelta de tuerca con conceptos como los Unplugged que MTV popularizó -y también quemó- en los 90's. Sin embargo, "Fillmore" sigue siendo LA referencia.
Ahora, con esta masiva publicación, se completa oficialmente el documento con un nivel notable en lo que a presentación se refiere y excelente en el contenido.
Lo que en el suena no es que.supere la selección original que todo el mundo conoce, sino que hace justicia a sus fans. No recomiendo a nadie que no conozca a the Allman Brothers Band que intente empezar por aquí, sino que siga el camino iniciático que todos seguimos en su momento y opte por la edición original, porque. Esto es un homenaje a la familia Allman: Sus músicos, su entorno, las bandas que nacieron por ellos y las que se influyeron por ellos. Y, sobretodo, a sus fans de todas las edades y eras de Duane, Greg y compañía, que siempre quisieron poder disfrutar al completo y de un modo "oficial" de un documento histórico que ahora cobra su dimensión justa: COLOSAL.
Da ich ein großer Fan der Allman Brothers Band bin, selber Songs schreibe und aufnehme, ist es für mich sehr interessant, wie sich Songs "entwickeln". In dieser Box, die wunderschön aufgemacht ist, kann man an Hand der verschiedenen Shows hören, wie sich so ein Song "entwickelt". Ich bin sehr froh, dass ich mir nicht die Einzel- oder Doppel-CD gekauft habe oder die andere Veröffentlichung "Eat a Peach", wo Songs, die sich in der Box befinden auch drauf sind.
Für wen ist diese Box unverzichtbar? Diese Box lohnt sich auf alle Fälle für alle Fans der Allman Brothers und solchen, die es werden wollen. Sie lohnt sich für Liebhaber des Südstaaten-Souds, des Blues und Bluesrocks. Sie lohnt sich für Leute die auf "handgemachte" und ehrliche Musik stehen.
Einziger Kritikpunkt an die Macher des Box-Sets ist folgender Punkt: Auf der Rückseite des Boxsets ist die Liste mit allen Songs, diese hätte man doch auf der Rückseite des Buche, oder im Innenteil wo die CD drin sind "eindrucken" können. So war es "nur" auf einem schwarzen Blatt Papier- in Box-Set-Größe, die aber nach dem Auspacken fast weggefallen ist und man "gezwungen" war mit Fotoecken diese Credits oder Songlisten, in den Innenteil zu kleben, dort wo die CD's sind.
Aber diese "Kritik" ist nicht so wichtig, da es bei dieser Box um den Inhalt, das musikalische Vermächtnis dieser tollen Band geht, daher sind für meine Begriffe diese fünf Sterne mehr als gerechtfertigt.
