I think the crowd involvement added to Johnny's record, but the lack of such a rambunctious crowd didn't hurt the Fillmore East album

Yeah. 1 of my favorite albums. I forget the author, but in the book "SKYDOG", there is an entire chapter dedicated to this album. The author breaks down just about each solo among others things. I really enjoyed reading his account, while listening to the album.

It's a must read for any ABB fan

I agree. All around great book. It also turned me on to some of Duane's influences, which are now in my rotation.
Speaking of Filmore, it was difficult for me to distinguish between some of Duane & dickey solos, but the author broke each part down. He pointed out small details that I never realized. I never knew Duane was the one who called out all the songs and it was his voice heard before each one introducing each track. He even discussed the cover photos and how they came about.

I really like the story behind Elizabeth Reed

I'm very curious about this, as that's the first song off the album I ever heard, and what prompted me to find the rest of the album to listen to ASAP 
Posted on 7/6/12 at 7:57 pm to When in Rome
Well the story is that right next to the big house (the like 8 bedroom house the whole band lived in together) was right next to a cemetery. That's where they always smoked joints and jammed at. Well Dickie always sat on the same headstone, the headstone of a little 8 year old girl named Elizabeth reed .

Bill Maher said the other night that he used to play "Stormy Monday" from the Fillmore East album to get the ladies in the mood.

Well damn, what a story

Yeah, always thought it was about some chick Dickey banged until i read the book.
I liked all the little anecdotes about Duane learning to play. Like when he figured out how to play the slide with a pill bottle one afternoon.
My favorite was when someone (i forget who it was) asked him to teach him to play the slide. Duane say something like, "just take the ole dobro & a bag of coke and head down to the river. Hold the neck with your finger like this and you will figure it out." The guy tried and gave up after an hour. It showed me how talented Duane was and it just came natural to him. He was serious, bc it was that easy to him - get high and play and everything will fall into place.
You can argue who is the best guitar player of all time, but there is no arguing who is my favorite...RIP Duane

that was Gregg he was talking toPosted on 7/6/12 at 11:23 pm to CottonWasKing
Was it Gregg? That makes the story even better. I just finished Gregg's book. Great read as well. I liked Clapton's book better than Gregg's, but you right, "SKYDOG" was the best read ever. 1st book i ever read that when I would finish a chapter, I would re-read.

Does any album of theirs get any better than this?
No, it's a classic for ages.

can't decide if the 2 minutes starting at the 9 minute mark of Liz Reed or the 1st 5 minutes of Whipping post is the greatest music has ever been.

I think I'm about to retread it as soon as I get through my song of ice and fire reread I've forgotten most of the minor details

Part of the experience of listening to a live album IMO. I enjoy the music on Folsom Prison as well as the back and forth that JC has with his audience (a group of hardened prisoners). Same thing with Sam Cooke and the way he improvises his songs to get the audience to sing along.
I see what you mean.
I wasn't taking a shot at ya or anything was just curious
