Release Notes:
The other rip was nuked. Here's the retail version
plus scans.
Allman Brothers fans are a hardy lot. For years,
make that decades, they have been inundated with
reissues of the same material with teasers thrown
in, or have been given truly bizarre compilations
such as the Madacy ripoff entitled Essential, which
didn't include many of the band's biggest hits and
on its second disc provided a straight reissue of
Enlightened Rogues. The Deluxe Edition of Eat a
Peach is something different, however. For those who
have been in the depths of confusion about the
various Fillmore East reissues -- whether the
straight At Fillmore East album or the Fillmore
Concerts set -- this version of Eat a Peach, fully
and beautifully remastered, does hold a bit of a
treasure trove, though the word is that the second
disc has been oft bootlegged. While the album is on
disc one, in all its pieces and in proper order,
disc two stands as a virtually unreleased concert of
the ABB's final performance at the Fillmore on June
27, 1971 -- with Duane, who was killed in October of
that year. Two of the disc's tracks had been
previously released -- "Midnight Rider" (on Duane
Allman Anthology, Vol. 2) and "One Way Out" (on the
original Eat a Peach, which means the track shows up
on both discs here). The rest of these performances
-- "Statesboro Blues," "Don't Keep Me Wonderin',"
"Done Somebody Wrong," "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"
(12:51 in length), "Hot 'Lanta," "Whipping Post"
(20:17 in length), and "You Don't Love Me" (clocking
in at a whopping 17:24) -- have never been
officially released. Sure, it's a standard Allman
Brothers set -- if there ever was a such a thing.
The playing is very inspired and adventurous,
Gregg's singing is better than on the original
Fillmore dates, and the interplay between Duane and
Dickey Betts is symbiotic. And it rocks like a
mother. Real fans of the original band have
something to be happy about for a change, as this
hidden bit of Allman memorabilia with the beloved
Duane is finally on the shelves -- it might have
been nice if Universal had issued the second disc as
its own album so you didn't have to buy Eat a Peach
again, but oh well.
