Celebrating The 50th Anniversary of The Allman Brothers Band

@robertjerman, I am jelous that you have been enjoying that album for two years.

@mental , not sure that I new who I was yet back then. If you know what I mean? Growing up in S Louisiana enjoying the band’s of our area such as The Meters, Dr. John, Sir Douglas Quartet w/ Doug Sahm and all the great Zydaco with Clifton Chenier, Major Handy and the such as well as a little later with ZZ Top which showed up a lot I was in heaven. Walked into a little bar in New Orleans called Ziggys, right under the Clayborn overpass on Canal one eve, a party of 7 to 8 couples were getting ready to get on the party riverboat on the river end of canal and dine drink and listen to the band’s as it cruised the river till 3:00 am but there was a glitch, a band calling them selves the Tops were playing and we couldn’t leave that place, later that same year they did their first album of course as ZZTop. Glad we stuck around.

I consider the Fillmore East album the best live rock recording ever made. I once saw the Allman Brothers (both of them) in Johnson City TN. They were second billed to Goose Creek Symphony. This was about 1970 or 71
