Celebrating their 50th anniversary, the Allman Brothers Band will put out their previously-unreleased Fillmore West ’71 collection as a four-CD offering on Aug. 16.
Recorded just two months before their historic At Fillmore East, the newly unearthed recording is culled from three gigs (January 29-31) in 1971, featuring hits like “Statesboro Blues,” “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” and “Whipping Post” as well as covers like Muddy Waters’ “Trouble No More.”
According to a press release, these recordings showcase a “loose and talkative” ABB, and “you can hear them really dialing their sound in at what would be a final tune-up for the seminal At Fillmore East album.”
Check out the tracklist for Fillmore West ’71, and listen to the album’s version of “Trouble No More” (via Rolling Stone) below.

June 22, 2019 at 9:45 amLove any Duane era ABB. Having said that the same songs get old eventually. Really only the Grateful Dead were mixing up sets in 1971 and not as much as later. I guess the ” Bears Sonic Journal” LPs are one of these three shows. Between that one, American U, Feast, and A & R studios I think I’m set. Even without Duane the 12-31-73 records are great and have different (OMG) songs. Recommend that and tje Duane Allman Anthology over more of the same.
