Info for Bear's Sonic Journals (Remastered Deluxe Edition) (Live at Fillmore East, February 1970 - Deluxe Edition Disc 1)

Reissue of rare early live recordings from the 1970 Fillmore East with extended sets.

The Allman Brothers Band was on the verge of superstardom in 1970. They had only been together for 11 months when promoter Bill Graham, who had booked them in San Francisco and New York, invited them back to the Fillmore East for a triple bill with the Grateful Dead and Love. And lucky for us, the Dead's sound man, Owsley "Bear" Stanley, had his tapes with him. Now the seven-song original compilation is being re-released with two additional CDs containing all the mastered but unedited source material. Previously only available directly from the Owsley Stanley Foundation, this deluxe version lets you listen to the band rock on until Bear runs out of tape.

Titled Bear's Sonic Journals: Allman Brothers Band Fillmore East February 1970 Deluxe Edition, the sonically restored and mastered recordings of the Allman Brothers Band performances at the Fillmore East in New York City on February 11, 13 and 14, 1970 were recorded by Bear, who is known for the purity of his "sonic journal" recordings. The performances include the three earliest known live concert recordings of Dickey Betts' monstrous instrumental number "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed."

Freshly transferred and mastered from the original tapes in Owsley Stanley's archives, this release features a sonic restoration, new album art and liner notes, including a series of rare band photos from the Fillmore East in February 1970, original cover artwork ("Electric Mushroom"), and notes from the Allman Brothers Band and the Owsley Stanley Foundation.

Although the Allman Brothers Band had only one studio album under its belt by early 1970, word had already spread about their reputation for incendiary and improvisational marathon live shows. In his liner notes, John Lynskey, ABB connoisseur and chief archivist of the Big House Museum, aptly describes the Allman Brothers Band's music as "a crazy blend of rock, jazz and R&B that created a dynamic, groundbreaking sound."

Presented by the Owsley Stanley Foundation and the band - DUANE ALLMAN, GREGG ALLMAN, DICKEY BETTS, BERRY OAKLEY, JAIMOE aka J. JOHANNY JOHNSON and BUTCH TRUCKS - Bear's Sonic Journals captured the emerging group; just a year later, they returned to the Fillmore to record At Fillmore East, which is always included in discussions of the best live rock albums of all time.
