What was amazing about the Fillmore East album was that even though it was recorded, you could hear the energy and tightness of the band. They were playing off each other in a way no studio could replicate. It really was as if you were there.
One of my former coworkers who was the biggest music aficionado I’ve known described the Allman Brothers as the best band he ever heard. He always used to tell me: “Live performances are where bands show their true talent.”
