Today, for the first time in several years, I played, in it's entirety, "The Fillmore Concerts" by the Allman Brothers Band - one of the great live albums, and one of the great blues albums, of all time. Recorded in March and June, 1971 (when I was 18!) at Fillmore East in New York, it was originally a 2-record set. The 2-CD set (from 1992) has been somewhat re-jiggered, but it's almost identical to the original album.
What a great band they were, back in the day! Tight arrangements and great playing. To me, their great appeal lay in what a disciplined band it was (unlike, say *cough* the Grateful Dead *cough*, who always sounded like they were spending entire concerts trying to figure out what to play).
Ah, good times. Good times...
