One of the greatest double live albums of all time, The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East has been digitally remastered and expanded with bonus tracks, creating for the first time a complete concert experience. The two-CD The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East (Deluxe Edition) (Mercury/UME), released September 23, 2003, adds six performances, all from the Fillmore East in 1971, to the album issued that same year.

The band’s first major hit album, the breakout release that transformed The Allman Brothers Band from a regional cult into nationwide superstars and ignited the fashion for double live albums, The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East peaked at just #13 on the charts yet quickly sold more than a million copies (“gold” in the pre-1976 era). Only the band’s third album, it was unique for a live excursion in that guitarist Duane Allman, singer/keyboardist Gregg Allman, guitarist Dickey Betts, bassist Berry Oakley, and drummers Jaimoe and Butch Trucks had never recorded in the studio the majority of the songs they performed.
