What I prefer from the Fillmore East (new window)

Zappa, Lennon, Super-annoying Asian Performance Artist

Ahhh... memories...

Allman Brothers FTW!!

I just saw them at Wanee. They played that song BTW.

Greatest American band ever, IMHO.

Without the normal sarcasm that's prevalent on Fark: Why two drummers?

Two drummers opened up a whole new world of possibilites...

That, and according to Jaimoe in an interview, Duane wanted 2 drummers because "James Brown had 2 drummers".

They actually have 3 now.

//21 ABB shows plus scores of Gregg, Derek, Dickey, and even saw Oteil's solo project
///love that the summer is finally here in the Northeast

And the Fillmore in San Fran is run by Live Nation now, Bill Graham must be spinning in his grave.

The original Allmans were a band to be reckoned with.

Duane was such a cool guy that he insisted on the roadies being paid before the band was.

I saw them perform in Central Park in the summer of 1971. They were all still alive. They were magnificent.

Dickey Betts lives very near me now but nobody ever sees him out and about anywhere.

It's real rare to see video of Duane... there isn't much out there.

/Seen them 36 times
// w/ Duane, 0 times
/// my dad kept all of his playbills from the fillmore
////will we ever have a venue where you can see the likes of the Who and Chuck Berry on the same night?

Oh, holy shiat, thanks. This was the concert!

Fillmore East still sounds as good as when It was new, back in high school. waaaaay back in high school. When I had hair and a liver that works. Good god, I'm an old fart.
I don't have a lawn to chase You kids off of, so how 'bout:
Hey, You, get offa My cloud

It's better to burn out than to fade away.

This song is why my daughter is named Elizabeth. Loved this version of the band.
