(UMe) The Allman Brothers Band's At Fillmore East has been added to UMe's Vinylphyle series. Available to order now exclusively via uDiscover Music, the album is presented as a 2LP edition pressed at RTI and housed in tip-on gatefold jacket with four-panel insert featuring source tape scans and newly commissioned liner notes.
The Allman Brothers Band's At Fillmore East was cut from the original tapes by Jeff Powell at Take Out Vinyl in Memphis. The accompanying insert includes new liner notes by author and music journalist Scott B. Bomar, drawn from conversations with band members Jaimoe and Warren Haynes.
Originally released on July 6, 1971, The Allman Brothers Band's At Fillmore East captured the group at a pivotal moment, transforming its hard-earned reputation as a formidable live act into an artistic and commercial breakthrough. Produced by Tom Dowd and drawn from performances recorded at New York City's Fillmore East on March 12 and 13, 1971, the double album distilled the band's expansive concerts into just seven tracks across four sides. By then, relentless touring had forged Duane Allman, Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson, and Butch Trucks into an unusually intuitive ensemble, reimagining blues staples such as Blind Willie McTell's "Statesboro Blues," Elmore James' "Done Somebody Wrong," T-Bone Walker's "Stormy Monday" and Willie Cobbs' "You Don't Love Me," alongside originals including "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and the side-long, 23-minute "Whipping Post."
At Fillmore East reached No. 13 on the Billboard album chart and was certified Gold by the RIAA just three months after its release, eventually becoming the band's first Platinum album. Its stature has only grown in the decades since. In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked it No. 49 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, hailing it as "rock's greatest live double LP." In 2004, the album was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry for its cultural, historical and aesthetic significance. More than five decades later, At Fillmore East remains a benchmark for live rock recordings and an enduring testament to The Allman Brothers Band at its creative peak. Order it here
