Haven’t seen that happen b4 - don’t Think I was imagining it 😮

Clue me in, what am I missing - deleted? FB?

Maybe it was moved to the Playpen. I posted on it and wondered aloud why would someone start a thread for us to list the live albums we like better than Fillmore East. Then the creator of the thread provided SIX live albums he likes better than Fillmore East.

To me and I assume almost ALL ABB fans Fillmore East is the greatest live album in recorded history.

How could someone be a big ABB fan and list 6 albums by the likes of Muddy Waters, BB King, Santana, The Who etc they like better than Fillmore East?

Maybe it's an early April Fools joke.

I think I'll go over to the Lynyrd Skynyrd site and drop the names of 6 live albums I like better than One More From The Road.

I'm sure someone would quickly say "WTF man. You like these other artists' live albums better than Skynards then what are you on this site for??"

That didn't take you long. Live Bullet. Bob Seger.

J Geils. Full House.

Steve Earle. Shut Up and Die Like an Aviator.

"Waiting for Columbus"

James McMurtry. Live in Aught Three.

"Waiting for Columbus"

Good one. Never saw Lowell George but I did see them open for the ABB three times and they were still great.

Kiss Alive II
Cheap Trick Live at Budokan 😛

Live. George Thorogood.

So, Blackey, it’s all personal preference man.

ABB are my favorite band, but there are a few live albums I like more than Fillmore East. Kind of like how I know Jordan was the “best” but Magic is and always will be my favorite.

1. Derek & the Dominos — Live at Fillmore East. Some prefer “In Concert,” but I actually like the versions of the songs they chose for “Fillmore East” better. Without question my favorite live album.

2. Waiting for Columbus.

3. Band — Rock of Ages.

I also really really like the Hendrix Band of Gypsys NYE Fillmore releases.

That’s it, and on some days, I’m sure ABB AFE could sneak up to #2. But nothing will supplant that Dominos album for me.

Bruce Springsteen. Live 1975-1985.

This and Live Bullet by Seger are way better than Fillmore East.

Because they have a different opinion than you? Hmm...

Not possible

Blackey is the new Deano of this website, probably used to drive a school bus.

Hard to beat LF Waiting on Columbus and Bob Seger's Live Bullet.

Yes Wayne but the only thing that matters is how many albums were sold. 😉

Oh so you guys are huge Allman Brothers fans?? Maybe it's really ABB music as long as its played by Derek Trucks. . I'm sure you all think the last lineup stomps the originial band.

How in the hell could Bob Segar and the Silver Bullet Band be better than Gregg Allman on vocals and keys, Duane and Dickey on guitars, Berry Oakley on bass and Butch and Jaimoe on drums. Bob Segar is nowhere as sophisticated as the ABB. Night Moves, Still the Same, We've Got Tonight, Hollywood Nights etc are decent Top 40 songs but they ain't Blue Sky, Whipping Post, Dreams, Liz Reed, Jessica etc.

I got three off site Emails telling me that not only was the last lineup by far the best and most exciting lineup of the ABB but the MSG 3/10 show was the best Allman Brothers show EVER and a CD of it would beat Fillmore East hands down. I don't know how they even know my home Email address.

So the best ABB show ever wasn't even called the ALLMAN Brothers?? And didnt have Gregg Allman or Duane Allman or Butch Trucks or Berry Oakley not to mention Dickey????

You people are either just minimal ABB fans and your absolute favorite bands are other than the ABB or you are Derek Trucks fans and a little Warren Haynes. Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes are NOT the Allman Brothers. The ABB had already made it to the top and wrote most of their wonderful songs before Derek was born.

Take your Bob Seger and Instant Live of the ABB STARRING DEREK TRUCKS and knock yourself out to Night Moves and Bag End. I'll take Fillmore East over all that 7 days a week. I'm a REAL Allman Brothers fan. And the real ABB had Duane Allman in it.

Lee. So live Bruce Springsteen and live Bob Seger are way better than Fillmore East and you are a big ABB fan???

BS!!!!!! I know what you are. You are a Derek Trucks groupie. If Derek hadn't been in the ABB you would even have any interest in the ABB. Of course that is correct. You don't like Fillmore East or Eat A Peach. Why? I know why. Because Derek Trucks isn't on them.

So which BS do you like the most? Bob Seger or Bruce Springsteen? You seem to like both so much.

And by the way, I think you need help man. 😉

all great live albums but not as good as the fillmore album.

This thread isn’t like the one that was deleted - started it wondering Why it was deleted - anyone?

There’s a pretty obvious ‘let’s bust blackey’s balls” aspect to this one imo
He’s not a troll/doesn’t need help etc - he’s posted the same thing all along - nothing compromises his belief that any discussion of the ABB must start-&-stay w/the original band

“ None!” was my reply to the title of the original thread - ie, What live records do you like better than Fillmore East - we all know it’s considered far & wide as one of if not the greatest concert records ever, esp when coupled w/EAP

So that the mention of Kiss Vol. II, Cheap Trick, Thorogood etc......yes it’s April Fools Day;)
am sure Springsteen fans would legitimately be partial to the 1975-85 box over FE

Full House, Rock of Ages, the skull & roses album, Europe 72 & others are near the top for me - I go to 30 Seconds Over Winterland b4 BIPLHead - same Priest Live b4 Beast of the East........

all this stuff has been discussed b4
Was good to see BigDaveOnBass & Rainy post recently
w/malice toward none
I love the ABB

[Edited on 4/1/2020 by Stephen]

Not sure these are the best, but a few of my favorites

ABB- Made a nice mix. I have been listening to the Chuck and Lamar era. Tracksf from Wipe the
The Windows, Deluxe live stuff form Bros and Sis , and Nassau Coliseum.

Deep Purple- Made In Japan
Anything RB was on with them or Rainbow is always on my list.
California Jamming is real ggod. Mark III lineup.
Perfect Strangers Live is one that might be overlooked. Its From 1984 , mix the songs from
PS with the classics. Some great Lord v Blackmore battles on there. Lord is "wicked " on
those tracks.

UFO-Strangers In the Night-Nuff said!!

Iron Maiden-Maiden Japan
I like the early IM stuff with Paul. The band really has more of a punk ,street type vibe.

MSG-Live At Rockpalast: Hamburg 1981 and One Night At Budokan
Early MSG stuff. Young hungry band with strong players.

Tommy Bolin & Friends : Live at Ebbets Field June 3 & 4, 1974

Does not get any better than Crazed Fandango. He is just on fire .

Lynyrd Skynyrd - "One More From The Road"

Stop Making Sense.

Talking Heads.

A masterpiece

jsz, nice picks. Agree in particular about live Blackmore and also the Tommy Bolin 1974 live is really remarkable.

Blackey, folks are just busting your chops. Because everyone who is here already knows AFE is great, the discussion goes in different directions. It's like how, on the Zepp pages, very few people weigh in on whether or not "Stairway to Heaven" is a good song or not; its greatness has been established for decades, so people move on to discuss different ideas rather than repeating what is already well known.

Jim nobody can really bust my chops here. The point is, the Allman Brothers Band is my favorite band and I will never forget the spiritual connection and joy I felt when I saw them the first time. I had never been baptized if you will, in a style of music played by a specific group of musicians before. And everyone of the musicians were different yet when they played together the collective sound was as close to perfect I had ever experienced. It was magical
And the live album At Fillmore East, with the live tracks on Eat A Peach, is a recorded record of that sound that grabbed me at age 23 in 1970. Later lineups of the ABB were various degrees of very good but it was never the same. To experience the real ABB sound I need the original six. Duane Allman and Berry Oakley were enough different than later players that it is not exactly the same.

But I listen to later lineups regularly and many of the live albums my adversaries like better than Fillmore East. My hunch is most of my adversaries here are actually Derek Trucks fans and what they call the ABB must have Derek Trucks and perhaps Warren Haynes in it or it falls short of the sound they are attracted too. It's as if they are fans of a different band than the one I'm into and for all intents and purposes they are.

But I enjoy all kinds of music including Derek Trucks.

Lately I've been attracted to the Russian folk song "Moscow Nights". Here it is sung by the great Russian singer Dmitri Hvorostovsky who recently died of brain cancer at age 55.
