At Fillmore East is a fine album, mostly. The music is blues rock. This live album features the Allman Brothers doing what they do best—jamming. For most of the songs, the rhythm section lays down a groove for guitarists, Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, to solo over. Greg Allman on organ gets to solo now and then, too. 

This album is really, really good. Long jams are a lot of fun to listen to if they are done right, that is they aren't repetitive and dull. This album is worth listening to and deserves a spot in any serious collection. It should be on the 1001 Albums list.

All the songs on this album are excellent. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed and Whipping Post are remarkable jams.

★★★★★★★★★☆
