From Nautilus Records, this is LIVE AT THE FILLMORE EAST by THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND, a beautiful 2-LP set in slick gatefold, an audiophile pressing; gatefold and both LPs are MINT. It is a difficult piece to locate and in this condition: RARE.
This set is considered by most critics to be one of the greatest live albums in rock music history. In 2004, it was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress, deemed to be "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important" by the National Recording Registry, a program designed to guard and maintain America's sound recording heritage.
Those of us who grew up listening to the Escorts, the Allman Joys, and Hour Glass recall Duane Allman's evolution, how he quit high school to practice the 6-string, how be became a master of the slide guitar and a statesman of electric blues.
Like Jimi, Duane had a fluid quality to his play making even the most impossible riffs appear effortless as if the guitar, an extension of his arms and hands, could be called upon to express emotions that words could not convey.
We had no way of knowing this album would be his peak. We thought he had many mountains still to climb and many more things to teach us about the guitar. Duane died October 22, 1971, doing the thing he loved second-most -- riding his Sportster.

When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home, a second yacht or a four hundred million dollar golden parachute. Instead, you’re helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage, or a student pay for college. Our customers are our shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy. Thank you for supporting small businesses.
