Live Albums By The Allman Brothers Band
The Allman Brothers Band were formed in 1969 by Duane Allman (lead and slide guitars), his brother Gregg Allman (vocals and keyboards), as well as Dickey Betts (lead guitar and vocals), Berry Oakley (bass guitar), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jaimoe Johanson (drums).
Their early history was marked by great success and tragedy.
On October 29, 1971, Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident in Macon, Georgia. On November 11, 1972 Berry Oakley was killed in another motorcycle accident, just three blocks away from where Duane Allman had died.
Inevitably, the Allman Brothers Band recordings tend to be thought of as before or after these deaths. There greatest commercial successes came in 1972 and 1973 but success weighed heavily on them and the band started to fragment before the first of several reunions.
In later years, the successful shows by the Allman Brothers band helped to launch the career of guitarist Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody as Gov’t Mule and then, when Dickey Betts decided to leave, Derek Trucks came in.

What is the best live album by The Allman Brothers Band?
Below is a poll for you to vote for your favourites.
I realise that The Allman Brothers At Fillmore East is recognised as one of THE greatest live albums ever released and I do expect it to win the popular vote because it’s by far the best well known.
But is it really the best?
Yes it features Duane Allman and he was in scintillating form on those nights in New York but do the Allmans fanatics agree that this represents the absolute peak or have they found an even better performance within the archive recordings?

The Allman Brothers Band Eat A Peach 1971
Eat A Peach is a part studio and part recorded live in concert album by the Allman Brothers Band.
A deluxe version of Eat A Peach adds the final Fillmore East show on June 27, 1971. Availability of this seems limited in the United States but it’s available as an mp3 download in the UK.
Fresh from the success of Live At Fillmore East, the Allmans decided that you can’t have too much of a good thing and especially after the tragic loss of band leader Duane Allman on October 29, 1971.
Mountain Jam, One Way Out and Trouble No More were live recordings.
The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East 1971
At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band is one of the most famous live albums ever released. It was recorded in March 1971 during concerts at the Fillmore in New York.
There is also an extended version called The Fillmore Concerts with the live songs from Eat A Peach or the At Fillmore East Deluxe Edition which has another song added.
Tragedy wasn’t very far away from The Allman Brothers Band. Guitarist Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident on October 29, 1971 in Macon, Georgia. On November 11, 1972, Bass player Berry Oakley died in another motorcycle accident only three blocks from where Duane Allman had his accident.
Live At Fillmore East has historical significance and whilst The Allman Brothers Band continued to record and tour, things could never be the same.
