Concert Notes:

This recording comes from the original Allman Brothers Band
lineup and was the west coast counterpart to the famous
Fillmore East gigs, also recorded in 1971. The Fillmore East
tapes eventually became the Allman Brothers Band Live At
The Fillmore East, one of the best selling rock albums ever and
widely regarded by rock historians and critics as the greatest
live album of all time.

The six songs are mostly all on the Fillmore East LP, but they
are clearly different takes and contain a different feel and
energy than those on the famous double live album. There
arenâ€™t too many surprises here, but this is one of the few
professional live recordings featuring the original lineup of the band.

Between 1969 and 1974, the Allman Brothers Band was possibly
the most important rock group in America and one of the most
influential worldwide. Thanks to producer Tom Dowd, they took
the brilliance of the blues rock movement spearheaded by Cream,
Jeff Beck and Led Zeppelin, and gave it a distinctly American and
Southern flavor. They invented Southern Rock and wrote the book
on dual guitar arrangements.

Eight months after the recording of this show and only 14 days
after Live At The Fillmore East went gold, guitarist Duane Allman
died tragically in a motorcycle accident. Nearly one year to the day
and only a few blocks from the site of Duaneâ€™s accident, bassist
Berry Oakley would succumb to the same fate, again on a motorcycle.

The Allman Brothers Band continued on and off for an additional
35 years but would never have the impact this early version did.
They are still together today but only Gregg Allman, Jaimoe, Johnson,
and Butch Trucks remain from the classic initial lineup.
