Whereas most great live rock albums are about energy, At Fillmore East is like a great live jazz session, where the pleasure comes from the musicians' interaction and playing. The great thing about that is, the original album that brought the Allmans so much acclaim is as notable for its clever studio editing as it is for its performances.
Expertly edited by producer Tom Dowd, some performances were condensed into single tracks, which showcases the Allman Brothers' impressive instrumental interplay. This original double album remains the epitome of Southern rock, with extended tracks highlighting the talents of Duane on guitar and Gregg on keyboard and vocals.
