About Boston Common 8/17/71
Product Description Live archive release from the Southern Rock icons. This 1971 set features the band's original (and best) lineup, Duane, Gregg, Dickey, Butch, Jaimoe and Berry. 1971 was a watershed year for The Allman Brothers Band they recorded their seminal live album, AT FILLMORE EAST, in March, and continued to tour relentlessly. By this point, their performances had reached a level of musicianship and intensity that other groups could only dream of. AT FILLMORE EAST was released in July to massive critical acclaim, and a month later, they rolled back into Boston to once again jam in the Common, playing two shows on August 17th. Review The fifth album issued by the Allman Brothers Band Recording Company returns to the Duane Allman-led outfit in a moment of triumph. The group's outdoor appearance in Boston occurred six weeks after the release of their breakthrough album, At Fillmore East, and ten weeks before Allman's death. The song selection doesn't just repeat the tunes from the Fillmore East disc, the band opting instead for a few songs not heard on it, 'Trouble No More'(from the 1969 debut album The Allman Brothers Band) and 'Don't Keep Me Wondering' and 'Hoochie Coochie Man' (from the 1970 second album Idlewild South), the last as usual boasting a raucous vocal by Oakley. The standout performance is 'You Don't Love Me'(introduced on At Fillmore East), which stretches to 26 minutes and includes some powerful and unusually driving guitar soloing by Allman. Annotator John Lynskey documents the warm appreciation accorded the southern Allmans in Boston throughout their career, a good example of their ability to transcend their regional base to become a nationally successful act. This is an album for the faithful, and it will not disappoint them. --Allmusic.com
