At Fillmore East [Remaster] by The Allman Brothers Band

Pros: A quintessential blend of American rock 'n roll and blues. A harbinger of Southern rock.
Cons: None. Period.

What is it about the Allman Brothers' laid-back and comfortable, yet energetic, live album from the Fillmore East in New York City in March of 1971 that has so many rock ‘n roll purists (including epinionator Horswspr) calling it the best live rock album...

Pros: This is what live rock 'n roll is supposed to be
Cons: none

Pros: great blues covers, awesome instrumentals,pure energy
Cons: none- other than the fact that Duane and Berry are dead
