S.T.PFirst, thanks for all the info electric-duane! Second -I was wondering if you, or anyone could help me with some questions I have about the footage from the Fillmore East 23/9 '70 (unaired set from a PBS special.) Is this the only filmed show from Fillmore East? Any reason why it isn't officially released? Is the whole show filmed? Are there any officialy released DVD's with Duane, (I couldn't find any on the net)?
For many years I've had a snippet of Whipping Post (from this show) on VHS, which I've probably played about 500 times
Just found it on You Tube, and it would be great to know more about it!
Thanks!
Hi STP - No problem. I love good music and get excited when I can pass it on.
I don't think I have a real answer to the bulk of your questions although I may be able to help with the knowledge I have:
As far as I know, the footage (no footage with the original line-up, for that matter) has been commercially released because ownership rights have been / are in dispute. There is a fan compilation DVD that contains the following:
Track 1. HOF Tribute (4:13)

Track 2. The Allman Brothers Band 9-23-70 Fillmore East - New York City, NY - 4 songs (34:04)
Chapter 01. Don't Keep Me Wondering
Chapter 02. Dreams*
Chapter 03. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed
Chapter 04. Whipping Post
Chapter 05. **Whipping Post** (11:16)
* Greggs vocals are low during Dreams, PA problems at the Fillmore.
**Alternate Source for second Whipping Post.

Track 3. Allman Brothers Band Nov 2, 1972 Hofstra University - Hempstead, New York
Portions appeared on ABC-TV\'s 2nd In Concert show ABB\'s first TV appearance in 1972 (Berry\'s last public performance)

Track 4. 1976 \"Southern Voices, American Dream\" Documentary by Ken Hey (excerpt) (13:34)

Duane! Berry! Dickey!@ 6:39 the incredible scene of Duane playing with that open sky background behind him and oh, that light shining on him (8:28)...to the ending shot of Duane & Gregg @ 10:00. Nice little B&W tribute to Duane with Little Martha playing leading to the shot of his headstone.

Track 6. Statesboro Blues from the Dreams promo Video (4:08)
************************************************
Track 7. Closing Slideshow (Created using the Ken Burns effect & MJ 3/13/71 MJ audio)This DVD can most likely be obtained by going to www.allmanbrothersband.com and inquiring nicely about it in the forums. Somebody may be able to point you in the right direction (I got mine a long time ago just by asking and providing the blank disc and postage in the good old fashioned art of trading).
I hope that helps you out a bit.
Take care and have a nice evening.
E-Duane
P.S. while I don't advocate it as it's against the ABB trading and taping policy, I did check some of the typical torrent sites and it seems to be available there as well.Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2009-03-16 01:58 by electric-duane.
