Allman Brothers at Fillmore East, which one?

Can we add best CD or SACD versions as well?

mofi: My bad. Thanks.

I just compared my (only two copies) of this lp with one song from each at the same volume.

"Hot 'Lanta"

I have the aforementioned "beige" label and the Classic re-issue.

The difference between the two is stark!

The Classic: more perceived energy, spacious soundstage, better defined bass. It sounds more like a live show. The "beige", I will sell as soon as possible.

Mofi, By the way, with all of the music we all try to buy/listen to... when I see a review entitled "Kind Of Blah" for any lp, I just skip over it.

It did capture my attention. Therefore I decided it wasn't worth my time to read.

Cheers!

Astro- I have the Classic remaster as well as an early pink label Capricorn that I compared quite a while ago. My recollection is that the Classic has more "hi-fi" attributes- detail and more open in the midrange, as you mentioned, but that the early pink label Capricorn was more cohesive, of a piece. I probably have a beige Capricorn around somewhere (unless I got rid of it). I can try to re-compare. I think some of this is listener preference and system bias- i.e., the sonic character of the mastering may better match what you like or complement the character of the system it is played on. Overall, I don't think this recording is a great sounding record, much as I love the music.  (I played the hell out of a copy back when it was originally released- have no idea where that old copy is). And these--the less stellar recordings, sonically, -- are often the records that make me search for better sounding copies. 

whart, I think it (is) important to evaluate in one's (current) system, instead of trying to remember the past. This is why I remarked here to begin with.

You're acknowledgement of "hi-fi" attributes kind of turns me sour in some ways. (Again), this just may be a difference in how we hear things and try to explain them).

The soundstage presentation I heard was a "night & day" differencein my above comparison. I might have failed in making this more clear. This is one thing you did not write about.

All in all, I think we may not be that far off , just a matter of differing systems and our own way of explaining what we hear.

Cheers!
