I just found out that the Allman Brothers are issuing a 6 CD box set, The 1971 Fillmore Recordings, which will contain the complete final 2 shows of their amazing Fillmore concerts (unfortunately no tape exists for the first night). It will be released on July 29 and is currently available for pre-order on Amazon. There will also be an lp and DVD release.

It looks good and I may have to get it. Has anyone heard about it? What do you think?

Here is a link to some more detailed info:

    I had a look at the track listing by CD and I gotta say, owning "The Fillmore Concerts" cd and "Live at the Fillmore East" SACD, I don't think I'm gonna pull the trigger on this.

    How many versions of "Statesboro Blues", or "Whipping Post" or "Trouble No More" do I need? Tom Dowd picked what he thought were the best versions, or combined several versions (You Don't Love) into one to make the definitive cuts. I'd like to hear the alternate versions, but not enough to buy the set.

    I'll wait to pull the trigger until I read some reviews.
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    Yes. Recently there was a Humble Pie Fillmore release of basically the same songs over multiple nights when they played there. I bought it, but only listened to one CD. These releases are more for the hard-core fan who wants every note ever played by the band.

    Sony XA-5400ES SACD; Pass XP-22 pre; X600.5 amps
    Magico S5 MKII Mcast Rose speakers; SPOD spikes

    Shunyata Triton v3/Typhon QR on source, Denali 2000 (2) on amps
    Shunyata Sigma XLR analog ICs, Sigma speaker cables
    Shunyata Sigma HC (2), Sigma Analog, Sigma Digital, Z Anaconda (3) power cables

    Mapleshade Samson V.3 four shelf solid maple rack, Micropoint brass footers
    Three 20 amp circuits.

    Some time ago, maybe 10 years, a double cd was released with all the remaining Fillmore performances. I have that copy and I would go look at and give a few more details but unfortunetly I not at home right now. If I remember correctly the songs weren't a whole lot different than the ones off the initial album. There might be some differences but not enough to warrant the purchase.

    Cambridge Audio 640C V2 CD Player & Dacmagic DAC

    Rega Planar 3: Deep Groove Subplatter, P3 Motor
    upgrade, Dynavector 10x5, JA Michell counterwieght, Cardas tonearm wiring and Mapleshade stand
