Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Such a great, great group. I've only gotten into them recently because of the popular mislabeling they receive. They are basically a Blues band who dig Miles Davis, in short, they are a whole lot like me. I only have At Fillmore East and Eat a Peach, but they are both tremendous.

axlslash Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Quality group. There's a reason why Clapton uses their guitarists so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bax Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Simply a brilliant band. They are one of only a handful of bands that rely on improvisation a lot and manage not to become monotonous or boring. I have seen them numerous times in concert and it is always a great experience. I would recommend getting as much live material by these guys as you can starting with the Complete Fillmore Concerts set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Theyre alright, but the guitar is a little too clean for my liking. Good band though, great group of musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Fillmore is an awesome live album. The live version of Whipping Post owns all kinds of ass. Duane Allman is a God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to a show and they play 6 songs, only they jam on each one for half an hour. Boring boring boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) No, that's awesome. That's how the ABB built its following. They have a rep as an awesome live band precisely for that reason.
