At Fillmore East

I really didnt get on with this at all. 1/5

You know what makes me feel like I’m dying? 22 fucking minutes of the Whipping Post.

Jatkuvan variaation muutos ikuiseksi toistoksi.

Songs are a little long for my taste. Not a jam band fan.

Pretty dull stuff. Nothing remotely interesting on here.

Sound fantastic live, 20min jazz rock instrumentals ain’t my thing

I don't dislike the Allman Brothers entirely, but this is way too much of them. I get that jam bands were supposedly better on the road because they just built on the songs and improvised, but goddammit man, I don't care enough to listen to that shit, and that's why I'm not a fan of jam bands. Just because an explanation makes sense doesn't make it easier to enjoy. If you're not Dvořák or Shostakovich, I probably don't have 20ish minutes to listen to a single track of your music. The last song on this album is called "Whipping Post" and, not to be dramatic, but that's what it feels like.

Well I suppose there had to be one more album of dry, white man blues before I got to the end. At least it wasn't Clapton I suppose. It's also a live album, so a lot of masturbatory noodling here.

Ok to listen to if you are a fan of the original southern rock tunes otherwise meh

Okay. I didn't listen to the full album admittedly. Live albums typically aren't for me. Judging by the first 30 mins of this album, the next 50 were going to be very similar and I just didn't care for what I'd already heard.

Uh, another live album. I couldn't finish it. After a while, it just felt like noise.

Southern White Hillbilly 70's Rock wasn't my thing at the time, and certainly not now.

Old-school jamming. Reminds me too much of Jazz which is not my cup of tea.

I found this album very puzzling. It ticks all the boxes to be the kind of album I enjoy, yet I could not wait for it to be done. Even the crowd attending the concert sounds only mildly enthusiastic in the beginning and slowly looses interest throughout. I'm glad I listened to it before I died cause now I know that you can also do good music and somehow be absolutely terrible.

Livealbum. Men kult med Fader Jakob-homage i Whipping Post

A live album where the first song is a worse cover.... amazed I kept going after that...

Why are there so many live albums on this list? Are you telling me that I should listen to a live album before I die instead of a studio album of the same artist? Ridiculous.

Don’t know why anyone would need to listen to this dead or alive

No

Very very strong 1. It's a really good album. But still.

Between this and Deep Purple Live in Japan, I'm hoping there's no more boring 70s bands who have long drawn out 10-20 minute live versions of their songs where they don't even really jam out on the tracks, it's just an hour plus of paint-by-numbers rock and roll music that doesn't really rock out on this list. How do you have a 20+ minute of Whipping Post, a great song, but forget to include that triumphant guitar riff in the end? I would have been disappointed if I had payed money for this show

I have covid right now. From the very first second: Fuck off it's a live album. Then the first note: Fuck it's shitty american blues music. He literally says "I woke up this morning..." Could you possibly get any more cliche and formulaic than that? There is no way in the course of my life that I would willing submit myself to this heaping pile of shit. Yet here I am, suffering physically, mentally, and now aurally too. Fuck right off with this shit. 1 Star. I'm DNFing this.

Legend has it that Elizabeth Reed resurrected herself solely to tell this bunch of self-indulgent noodlers to just put a fucking sock in it, please and thank you.

Oh. We're including live albums now? Are best ofs allowed too? I call BS. Also this album? I know people love this band. I do not. I'm not into jam band/southern rock. But seriously what is this? It's just pointless and aimless. Ending in a 25 min Whipping Post? The only thing I can say is it's expertly recorded and mastered. I can't imagine that an Allman Bros. fan wants to sit through these songs that should have been left on the cutting room floor, and then done live to boot. Gets one star for effort and 1 for the production value. MINUS one star because it's a live album and really shouldn't be included on this generator.

borrringggg

meh

Load of shit. Sort yourself out

Album # 46

I just don't care.

Please stop it with live albums. 12 bar blues.. eugh 10 seconds in and it's already got two big no nos I didn't like this. I didn't enjoy any of it and was waiting for it to end. If I was familiar with the band and the songs maybe I would have enjoyed it slightly more, but I'm not so it's just a bit pointless to me

Get tf out of here with live albums. Allman Brothers Band putting rehearsal sessions and live music together in one album is just asking for hate. Why not just put a guy in the crowd with a tape recorder for all artists?

Chalking this one up as a loss. I'm two tracks in and already bored of hearing the same three chords played repeatedly. Call blues whatever you will - I don't give a shit if it was a big catalyst for modern music. It's boring as fuck.

I did not like it. The main singer guy sounded like he was trying to poop, not a good look.

blegh NNN

Dit gaat me te ver hoor. Nu heb ik al weinig met The Allman Brothers Band, een live album zonder hits is wel echt een taaie kluif. Ja tuurlijk, deze band kan heerlijk jammen en de solo's komen makkelijk. Maar ze in mijn ogen echt niks speciaals. Het zijn allemaal typische blues-songs. Ze bouwen niet op en rollen maar door en door. Schokkend vond ik vooral de start. Pof, start, alle instrumenten erin, solo, en gaan. Geen intro, opbouw of variatie. En ander dieptepunt is de solo in You Don't Love Me waar op een gegeven moment alleen de gitaar nog geluid maakt. Wat een rocksolo zonder beat en ronkende bass-lijn? Toch gewoon irritant. Begrijp me niet verkeerd. De muziek is niet slecht. Niks mis met wat lekker bluesrock. Zal me aan de nummers niet snel storen. Maar dit is een live-album van 80 minuten, en die meerwaarde is er voor mij gewoon niet. Het is natuurlijk de vraag wat wij allemaal nog voor de kiezen krijgen in deze lijst. Maar als ik er vanuit ga dat het meeste van een behoorlijke kwaliteit is, zal dit toch wel rond de ondergrens moeten liggen. 'Highlights' Stormy Man is de beste song You Dont Love Me wil ik nooit meer horen Guilty: ik heb de plaat niet afgeluisterd.

Far, far too indulgent. Some of this is alright, would have given it a 2, but come on guys, stop jamming and produce something succinct and meaningful. Harsh, but think of this as a lesson.

Obligatory 80-minutes long wankfest. This is like one of those sensory videos for babies with random fruit flying on the screen, except for old white people. There's not much substance, it goes on forever, and the target demographic is prone to shitting themselves. Made me feel like I'm never going to see my family ever again. 1/5.

I fucking hate blues

Ugh! Terrible white guy jammy blues. Hate it!

cannot get into it

While I appreciate the talent, and in fact like The Allman Brothers Band, at lest clean cut songs, studio, not live music. I am not a jam band fan. All that said, I feel this album might hold a place when taking LSD or another psychedelic. The jam band tend to really shine when tripping. 1/5

I couldn't finish this album - 80 minutes of rambling jam band is way too much. Not for me.

Not a fan, too repetetive for my liking.

They started in 71, and I think they are still playing the first guitar solo... An hour and 18 minutes of the same exact guitar tone, same key, and same bpm for over 90% of it. This is trash. No matter how much you want to figure them for being a jam band. This is utter trash. Just a guitar player jerking it in front of hippies.

Only live songs

Just not for me

It's an old live album, so the quality was not good, the playing was interesting though

I was not vibing with this at all

Don’t like Live albums

I just don't get the appeal of these washed-out blues jams. Blues for people who hate The Blues? Seven songs, over an hour? I skipped through to You Don't Love Me. And they were right – I don't. I gave up completely after about two minutes of that particular track.

This album is criminally boring. Anything interesting is buried in 20 minute songs that do nothing for most of their duration. This probably would have been a 2 if it wasn't 70 minutes long. I don't get it. Also, the end of the album was very anticlimactic. I guess my favourite song was Stormy Monday, but I don't want to listen to any of these again.

Me aburrió

I'll be honest, I put this on while I was playing Diablo because I just knew I wasn't going to want to sit and do nothing but listen to this album. There are certainly worse things in the world to listen to, but I honestly just have zero interest in this. I really don't think any of these songs were good enough to justify extending them to be 19, 13, or 23 minutes long. Like, maybe it was a different atmosphere at the performance and that would have been neat? I don't know. But sitting here listening to this it felt like eternity and I was just waiting for it to end. At Fillmore East? 1/5 Diablo 4? 5/5

Maybe because I haven't had access to my Spotify for 4 days now and I'm cranky. Trying to listen on Youtube through my work computer doesn't help either. Have a cousin who insisted I would love these guys when we talk southern fried rock. Tried a few songs awhile back, now listened to this and I'll have to say, I just couldn't get into these guys. Sounded like just a bunch of guys jamming out. Nothing stood out and really have no interest in relistening when I do get my Spotify in order. Maybe my frustration is clouding my thoughts, but this is a pass for me. 1

I haven’t heard much by the Allman Brothers Band before. I know Jessica (thanks to Guitar Hero) which is great, but that won’t be found on this album. It’s a live album too - I worry that you already need to be a fan of a band most of the time to enjoy a live album. But let’s listen and find out! Songs I already knew: none Favourites: none I did finish this album, but it was irritating to listen to. It reminded me of when I went to see the Black Crowes and they’d extend a sound by a good 15 minutes to have a long, drawn out guitar solo. This is very much the vibe of this album. There are only seven songs, but the album is 80 minutes long thanks to the overlong guitar solos. I’ll never listen to this again. I don’t see any appeal to this.

I like the Allman Brothers. Can’t remember if we had a studio album of theirs yet but if not I’ll look forward to that one as being the first Allman brothers album I listen to on this list.

Tedious.

I'm glad they seemed to be having a good time

So boring - possibly the most boring album so far....I can't stand this pointless blues noodling

I'm sorry. The music starts fine, but the soloing/noodling quickly gets tired. I was just going to with a don't really like it rating, but the longer it droned on, the more distasteful and annoying it got. It was a real struggle to get through all this.

Folky, groovy

Live generic blues, is it? CBA

oh god its a live blues rock album. It's actually surprisingly tolerable if you just go ahead and ignore it, which is pretty easy to do. God I wish this stupid guitar solo would stop. Dear lord, its me. I am trapped in this neverending blues extravaganza. Down here, a Hammond organ and the blandest overdriven guitars do basic pentatonic solos with occassional blues notes follwed by 1 4 5 4 progressions. There is no color. There is respite. There is no where to hide. Only the blues. This was like 15 mins of music stretched out to almost 2 and a half hours.

Not a fan of live albums

Boring. This was my first impression more than 20 years ago when I heard it for the first and only time up to now. Three tracks in and that first impression is confirmed. Will bear patiently with it until the end, but I don't see my point being changed anytime soon. Verdict: A master-bating exercise in fake blues.

I listened to enough of this growing up that I feel like my 50% is like other’s 200% in this case. I have such a predisposition against southern rock that makes it hard to get around that.

One of these songs is 19 minutes and I enjoyed six seconds of it, it's just sort of background noise I cannot connect to.

Meh.

This would be so much better if there wasn't so many longer songs. I don't know if that's supposed to add anything sentimental to the album, but it doesn't do it for me. They are genuinely very good, the songs are just so long.

I didn’t hate it but I wouldn’t listen to it again. 2.5 / 5 stars
