Not comparing it to Fillmore East, but another live favorite is Dave Mason Certified Live..... 
The one by the group that TTB always aspires to be:
Joe Cocker- Mad Dogs and Englishmen
Another I wore out..
"Get yer ya-yas out"
Good ones - again the name of the deleted thread was, What live records do you like better than Fillmore East
None for me, but in addition to Yaya’s, Jimi Hendrix/Otis Redding Live at Monterey is right there
Where We All Belong was mentioned a couple of times on the deleted thread, a worthy mention indeed
Not mentioned yet...
Irish Tour 74
Go For What Ya Know
Performance: Rockin The Fillmore
Live You Get What You Play For

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.

Could it be that all versions of the ABB have been incredibly good? Is it possible that the lineups that people saw live themselves were just as moving TO THEM as seeing the original six was to people who saw them? If a person was not born before 1955, they probably never saw the original ABB. All lineups have been built for seeing in person, not for listening to later. People who love Derek, or Warren, or Jack, or Oteil, or Woody, etc. aren't hating the original six. Maybe another lineup is what they were "baptized" into.
The best version of the ABB is the one that you can buy a ticket to see right now, whenever right now was or is. It has been a lot of different lineups, but if you went to a show in 1989, 1997, 1999, 2000, or 2001 complaining that some former lineup wasn't in front of your face, you wasted money and time that would have been incredible had you just soaked it in. Recordings are great, but they are not the same as being there, no matter what.
Obviously, the original lineup was incredible.
Obviously, the last lineup was incredible.
Chuck Leavell was hired by five of the original six. Jimmy Herring was hired by three of the original six. Everyone else was hired by four of the original six.

Govt’t Mule - Live With a Little Help
adhill 58. I agree with your post. Yes depending where you jump on the ABB bus, what is that special sound that grabbed you could be different.
I caught the bug in January, 1970. And saw the original band about 15 times. When I say the original band is the REAL Allman Brothers, it's because later lineups didn't sound exactly like the original. The way Duane Allman and Berry Oakley played was GONE. And it was missing when I heard later lineups. The band never sounded like the way it did when I caught the bug again.
And to me, and to some band members such as Gregg, Butch and Jaimoe, there was a vibe and energy that flowed from Duane Allman that was forever lost. I am not dissing anyone in later lineups. The Chuck/Lamar lineup was the most successful and the last line up lasted the longest and both could leave a trail of smoke on the stage.
Later lineups can't play Fillmore East better than the originial and that is the way the band was suppose to sound. Later lineups can play those songs differently but not better. To me the best sound is the original. To younger fans it is a later lineup. In the mid 70's a big number of fans didn't discover the band until Brothers and Sisters came out. A lot of those dropped off by 1975 and 76.
Good music from all the lineups. I enjoy all the lineups actually.
Check out the last 2 minutes of this. Great music but not exactly our kind of music. The bass player is absolutely incredible. And all of the musicians are excellent and at the end REALLY HOOK TOGETHER and are jus smoking!!!!
Anyone who enjoys great musicians and hot playing will like this even if it's not our type of music. This is live jazz.

I don't think anything is BETTER, but also really great, top-shelf stuff? I'd include these:
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Live!
Derek Trucks Band - Live at Georgia Theatre
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys
Talking Heads - The Name of This Band is Talking Heads
Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall (solo acoustic/piano) or Live at the Fillmore East (with Crazy Horse)
I'm mean what can I say? To a 12 yr old kid, kiss alive was pretty cool when it came out 😉 ..........Peace.........joe............let's not forget the beauty and magic found in our many, many field recordings and Instant Lives. LAFE is the best regular release for me.

I have the Live at the Fillmore East album, which has a lot more songs from the same shows. It's funny about Band of Gypsys — for years I rarely listened to any of its tracks other than Machine Gun because it doesn't have any of my favorite songs from the studio albums and I prefer Mitch Mitchell's playing to Buddy Miles' and his singing and carrying on. But Power of Soul is the best guitar riff ever created in my opinion, Machine Gun is a piece of art, Them Changes is the best wah-wah workout there is, and the whole album has a muscular power that sets it apart from Jimi's perfectionism in the studio. It's just great.
The first live album I remember everyone going nuts for when it was released was Grand Funk Live Album. Everyone was playing it and talking about it. At the time it seemed to set the bar for live albums.
I don't think anything is BETTER, but also really great, top-shelf stuff? I'd include these:
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Live!
That is a good one for me, but I will say that the Rastaman Vibration deluxe release has a 1976 Roxy show that is the best live Marley release I've ever heard. My go-to Marley live music.

I think that's a less-hot show, but it's definitely good! Live is short and sweet and that one stretches out longer. Here's the thing: they didn't include the whole show! The encore was missing. It's Positive Vibration, then a Get Up Stand Up > No More Trouble > War > No More Trouble > Get Up Stand Up medley that lasts TWENTY FOUR MINUTES! It's by far the best thing about that set. It was released in full as Live at the Roxy in 2003.

I urge everyone to check out The Black Crowes live at The Greek featuring Jimmy Page. If there’s anyone who could pull off old school Plant, it’s Chris Robinson, and be sure nailed those Zeppelin tunes. Page never lost a step either. Was fortunate to be a couple rows back for a show on this tour.
Heck ya brother!!! Hard to believe it's been 20 yrs ago.
Chris did an OUTSTANDING job. I am not sure anyone else could have pulled that off.
There were rumors of BC and JP doing more. Gorman has details in his book.
Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
I kinda get caught up in GM's instant live stuff and forget about the official live releases.
Can't forget this one from the original three. That's were it's at for me.

Thanks! I didn’t know it was a whole separate release. I’m gonna get it.
I spun Live! this evening on the vinyl. I dig it, but still like the other more 
Yep, Fillmore was released July 1971, Live at Leeds the following month
It all went from the screamy teeny bopper concerts of the mid 60s w/Got Live If You Want It, &, much later, Beatles Live At Hollywood Bowl
.......to Cream>Jimi/Otis at Monterey>Yaya’s & the new crowd in just 2-3 years - those Cream ones w/the long jams....:cool: - paved the way
What about the’’sprawling’ grandiose over-the-top cool live ones 😮 
the three-record sets
Woodstock - Atlanta Pop - Concert for Bangladesh - Europe 72 - Leon Live - Yessongs - ELP’s Welcome BMFTTSTNEnds - & later on, Paul’s sprawling Wings Over America package
At the mention of Paul - even tho it’s studio, his former bandmate George comes right to mind again w/his aMazing All Things Must Pass
All these records are worthy followers of Fillmore East>EAP

What about the Wailers one that got released a couple years back called “Live Forever”? It was Bob Marley’s last show before he died. It was from Pittsburgh. It has Al Anderson and Junior Marvin both on it. I forget the lineups on the ones already mentioned, and “Babylon By Bus”, but I think it’s just Junior on some of those. I had a good bootleg that I basically wore out and was thrilled to get a real version. The only issue was that the soundboard tape ran out and the last two songs are from a dud source.
Another double-live record that I think is up there with the best ever is Willie Nelson’s “Willie and Family Live”. It is more like rock than country. Two guitarists, two drummers, two bassists (oddly enough), one piano player, and one harmonica player. It is lights-out good. Even has Emmylou Harris on part of it.

None of them are bad! I especially like the Live Forever take on Could You Be Loved, and the Redemption Song is incredible. The sound does get bad at the end, but it's a historic show that it's great that they found any source. If you want a different kind of Bob album, Talkin' Blues is a good one. Peter Tosh was still in the band and they do a very different set of songs from what you hear on those mid/late-70s live albums, and since it was a live in the studio performance the vibe is very laid back.
Here is one that could be put on the list. Extremely difficult to find because it was a bonus CD when Songlines came out.
I went to both shows. 12/30 & 12/31 2005.

The New Years Eve show was better because of course Gregg was there in a small place. It was right up there with many of the Beacon shows I have been to. Wonderful weekend.
Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.
Lee what are you talking about? That hard to find Derek Trucks show is better than The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East????? The hell you say.
I know what you are. You are a huge Derek Trucks fan!! If Derek Trucks hadn't played in the Allman Brothers, you wouldn't be an ABB fan of any degree. Lee is an ABB fan as long as the line up has Derek Trucks in it. Otherwise it's not what floats his boat.
By the way Lee...Bob Seger Live Bullet and Bruce Springsteen Live is WAY better than Derek Trucks Back Yard Tracks Live!! Way better.
Oh and so is At Fillmore East by THE Allman Brothers Band.

In my book you just crossed over from boring, lonely and probably on the spectrum to just a pompous dick. Who are you to act like you're the judge of who's a real fan and who isn't? Lee has been here since 2002 and he's a true fan and a good guy. (And not especially a Derek guy from what I remember.) You showed up here long after most fans left the party and you have the nerve to act like you're everybody's boss and Allman Brothers teacher. You're not surrounded by kids who don't know the band. The posters who are still here saw dozens or hundreds of ABB shows for decades. And if that weren't bad enough, YOU'RE BORING. Thread after thread you give the same lecture about the original band, which 99.9% of fans like the best - and maybe people have been too nice to clue you in, but almost every story you tell about the band was repeated in a million interviews, articles, and books. It's stuff practically everyone here knows already. It's one thing if you're going to be dull, but if you're going to be dull and judgmental, get lost.
On the other hand acting like "I've got you pegged, YOU'RE a Derek Trucks fan" is some kind of insult at the Allman Brothers website is pretty funny.

Jerry Lee Lewis at the Star Club is another good one.
I urge everyone to check out The Black Crowes live at The Greek featuring Jimmy Page. If there’s anyone who could pull off old school Plant, it’s Chris Robinson, and be sure nailed those Zeppelin tunes. Page never lost a step either. Was fortunate to be a couple rows back for a show on this tour.
I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was. Awesome you got to check it out live. A concert is the best way to see what a band brings to the table.(IMHO)

Marley. This began as a thread asking people to name the live albums which they like better than The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East.
Lee chimed in that Bruce Springsteen Live and Live Bullet by Bob Seger are " way better than Fillmore East".
I thought it odd that on this site so many find live albums including other bands to be much better than Fillmore East. I naturally assumed on this site Fillmore East would be the pinnacle or holy grail of live albums just as I would assume on a Corvette site it would be unexpected to encounter many who like Ford Thunderbirds or Dodge Chargers actually more exciting than a Chevorlet Corvette.. For years I've read writers, when discussing the album, state that it is arguably the best live rock album ever recorded. Perhaps that is overstated but certainly it is one of the best blues/rock live albums.
I joined this site on day one and have been a major ABB fan since my first show in January 1970.
If Lee does not care for the Fillmore East album then how in hell can he be an Allman Brothers fan? Also he informed us about how he is incredibly impressed by a rare Derek Trucks live set.
It seems clear then that Lee is a Derek Trucks fan and probably is only into the ABB when Derek Trucks is a member.
I'm not being a dick. From my position, Lee was being a dick to me in an earlier post.
Also Marley, if you find me boring, lonely and too emotional about the original band, then simply skip over my comments. Same for Lee and anyone who is of the opinion the last lineup is the Allman Brothers at it's best.
If there is an Allman Brothers place on the web where the original band is seen as how the band was created to sound and the way Duane, Gregg, Dickey, Berry, Butch and Jaimoe played together is the classic, original way the ABB plays, the sound that made them famous...then direct me to it and I'll move on.
If you guys find the last lineup the one that rocks you best and Bob Seger, The Boss, Little Feat, Derek Trucks live rocks you better and you enjoy more than Fillmore East then carry on.
I like many of the live albums mentioned in earlier posts too especially Little Feat. I bought a Gov't Mule live album about 1995 that has Kirk West introducing the band I like a lot. They are just a tiro on it and it's real good. I just happen to hold Fillmore East is the best live set of all time and assumed hard core ABB fans would too. But I must be wrong and at this site, more people would rate The Fox Box ( which I have) over Fillmore East. Maybe 1971, Duane and Berry are now just too far into.the past for many fans today and the 2001-2014 band has replaced 1969-1971 as the ABB at it best live and creatively. But I say again, it really is puzzling and some what shocking there are ABB fans today who like the last lineup and other band's live albums better than AFE!!!! Back in the 70's and 80's and even the 90's all the fans I knew and even band members such as Warren Haynes thought the band with Duane in it was the best thing since Mozart and the band's pure sound.
