The 'Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East' is one of rock's greatest live albums, featuring amazing interplay within highly dy- namic arrangements. Most of the tracks exceed ten minutes, yet the Allmans never stumble. "Hot 'Lanta", "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "Statesboro Blues" are highlights. Contrary to claims that these are un- touched performances, 'Fillmore East' actually was a skillfully edited document (courtesy of producer Tom Dowd) taken from a run of shows at Bill Graham's Fillmore."
