They call it Stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad.
They call it Stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad.
Lord, and Wednesday's worse
And Thursday's all so sad.

The eagle flies on Friday,
Saturday I go out to play.
The eagle flies on Friday,
Saturday I go out to play.
Sunday I go to church,
Gonna kneel down and pray.

Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy,
Lord have mercy on me.
Though I'm tryin' and tryin' to find my baby,
Won't someone please send her home to me.

Best live album, ever?
Posted 1 year ago by idiot_wind    [ Reply ]
The best live blues/rock album of the 70s. Possibly ever. It’s not uncommon for some live versions of songs to get rambly, or incoherent, or badly recorded. Not here. This is a gem.

when you listen to this live album at the Fillmore, it sounds live there's a quiet audience. 

Either its a small crowd...or they are all hypnotized.

Latter or the former?

Former or the latter? 

why must there be these choices? 




Probably NO audience microphone!  Most stage mics are directional & will not  pick up the audience.

Yes, this is still sublime. Try a listen of Stormy Monday by Rotary Connection circa 1970. I never get tired of listening to this song no matter who sings it. A perfect classic.

That's like comparing apples with onions. I like the Collosseum version but that's like adding oranges into the comparison. Let them stand or fall on their own merits.  I happen to like em all. Just depends on the day which I favour the most.

Yeah Duane was among the best. Did anyone see the 2/11/70 show at the Fillmore East? Allman brothers opened for Love and the Dead and they played on stage after the late show with all those musicians and Fleetwood Mac Who I believe was playing in town. The show went to dawn hours and beyond. I believe there were 21 musicians on stage. it was the best show I ever saw

Back in '71 - '72 a brand new Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty went for $600. My pals and I all wanted one after Fillmore East came out but $600 was impossible. You can have a new one today for only 8 times that price. 
Yeah I know Duane and Dickey didn't play Black Beauties but just the same...turns out it was the severely under wound pickups that gave Duane's guitar that sound.

Really??Saw these guys in Houston in 1970.  Great show!  Dickie and Greg are great, but WTF about Duane??  I saw a lot of guitarists from the 27 club and Duane was right up there with the best!!

One day we all went to a Rave at the desert
I had the impossible task of driving us back home safely after a long, long session of dancing and drugs, and everyone in the car fell asleep as soon as we headed off.
I opened the window to feel the wind and grabbed a CDR which read Allman Brothers
The rest was magic... Probably played it 3 times in a row till we got home.
The spirit lives on!
Peace to all

Years ago I played my very young aspiring drummer son a bunch of Allman Bros. drum solos, digging into (and digging on) the interplay between Trucks and Johanson. We were both impressed. I know this track is not representative of that dimension of this band, but brought it to mind this morning. Some absolutely stunning guitar work, tho.

If you have Amazon Prime, look for the documentary "Song of the South - Duane Allman and the Allman Brothers." One of the better rock documentaries I've seen.

And on 11/26/18 it IS a rainy, gloomy, dark at 4:30 Stormy Monday here in NYC, perhaps 5 miles from my apartment to where this was recorded way back in the day. It's time to go buy some beer. 
Posted 5 years ago by kingart    [ Reply ]
Duane Allman was 24 and Greg Allman 23 when this was recorded. Amazing blues work for such a young age back in the day. They were a favorite of Bill Graham who just couldn't book them enough.
The album photo was shot in Macon and the road case stencils were added later. Yep, the photo was not taken there during load in/load out at the Fillmore in NYC. Looks cool just the same.
 
Best wishes to Dickey Betts who recently suffered a stroke followed by a bad fall and a skull fracture.

In one way, this is an odd album. The sound quality sounds like a studio recording, without over engineering. However,  it's a legendary live show. But when you listen at the end of each song, its sounds like a tiny crowd is in attendance.

Amazing that T-Bone Walker wrote and recorded this song originally in 1947... the 12 bar blues format is jazzed up with 9th chords... this is a really beautiful song, which is also known as "Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just As Bad)"...

the Allman Brothers live cover of this song on their album in 1971 called At Fillmore East is one of the greatest covers of any song in the history of our solar system...

A bunch of fun-loving guys from the Southland, hanging out behind the Fillmore, soaking up that atmosphere of New York City, and getting paid for playing rock and roll.  Sounds like a party to me!

Posted 7 years ago by cmcisaac    [ Reply ]
Great obituary on Gregg Allman when he passed last week.  I tend to save those and put them in a vinyl dust jacket for later. Also read an article by their manager he was in the area on business and hear them playing in an industrial park.  Went over and listened and they said they wanted to be different, a jam band, didn't care about airplay on radio.  They sure became a late night FM  groove.

Probably cuz that was all that was there.  Nobody knew who they were back then.  That and in those days you didn't clap for every lick or flourish.  You just sat there with a shit eating grin on your face with your eyes closed.  I saw them a couple of months after this Fillmore session in North Miami Beach in the Jai Alai Fronton opening for Spirit.  I was in Florida going to school and Idlewild South had just come out.  We played the crap out of that album and were primed for the concert.  Some really great acid frosted the cake for that show and the venue was one of the most unique settings for any concert I have ever been to.

Turned a lot of people on to them for the first time and saw the original lineup two more times.  And many more times since.  Probably seen them live more than any other band over 40 years time.

I have it on cassette, 8-track, LP, and CD. Several LP's actually since they'd invariably wear out. My parents knew all the songs on this album well as did the entire neighborhood since my parents had a 100 watt Magnavox four speaker stereo cabinet back in the day. Forty five years later it sounds just as new as the first time I heard it. God bless Bill Graham and the Fillmore East! Surely some of you took in the shows at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City too though Duane and Berry had passed. Muddy Waters opened one of the shows. Did I mention this is my number one favorite album of all time?

 
Ditto, including all media formats you name.  My first rock & roll band was inspired by our love for the Allman Brothers Blues Band (as we new it back then, which we call The Roadhouse Blues Band, not far from Dallas in Mineral Wells, in 1972.  I played bass back then and tutored myself trying to learn all of Barry's licks (badly, at first).  Saw them in Dallas just after he died, unfortunately.

Amazing that T-Bone Walker wrote and recorded this song originally in 1947... the 12 bar blues format is jazzed up with 9th chords... this is a really beautiful song, which is also known as "Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just As Bad)"...

the Allman Brothers live cover of this song on their album in 1971 called At Fillmore East is one of the greatest covers of any song in the history of our solar system...

time flies when we're having fun...



 
Here's some sweet work ...

It's like a big 70's era American car cruising slowly through the streets.  Thoroughly decadent and hugely enjoyable.  Play on guys.

Love this; surprised, though, that no one has arranged for his "I'm No Angel" to be around here somewhere....
