#105 The Allman Brothers, 'At Fillmore East' (1971)

This is another record that stuck with me after the last countdown. Simply put, this is my favourite live album of all time. Generally speaking, I was never a major fan of live albums. Often I found them to be poorly recorded and the crowd noise distracting. Over time, however, I’ve learned to appreciate them. Some artists are just better live, those artists that don’t thrive in a sterile studio environment. The energy of a good crowd can often be reflected by the band creating a cycle of energy. That is this album.
