Allman Brothers Band - 1971-08-26 - New York (SBD)

As 1971 began, the Allman Brothers Band was riding a wave of critical success. Their 2nd album, Idlewild South, released in late 1970, had received a strong review from Rolling Stone magazine. The band’s best work, however, was still to come. The Allmans played 2 shows at the Fillmore East on March 12 and 13, which would be recorded and then released as a live album in July of that year. The resulting 2 disc set, simply entitled At Fillmore East, is often called the finest live album ever produced. Rolling Stone ranked it 49th on its list of the greatest albums in rock history. That album sealed the Allman’s reputation as one of rock’s most innovative, exciting and powerful live acts. While the Fillmore shows get the attention thanks to the historic album that documented them, the truth is that on almost every night in 1971, The Allmans, with Duane leading the way, were on fire. This soundboard recording captures the band at A&R studios in NY on August 28, 1971, 43 years ago today, just 5 months after the band's historic Fillmore East shows.  Pay particular attention to the The You Don't Love Me and Soul Serenade combination near the end of the set.  The band effortlessly moves in and out between the two songs, demonstrating the magic that was the early Allman Brothers.  Unfortunately, Duane would die in a motorcycle crash just 3 months later.  Fortunately, you can download this show and keep the spirit alive.
