Live at Ludlow Garage: 1970 [Live]

Amazon.com
This two-CD set won't cause you to throw out your copy of Fillmore East, but it is at very least a worthy companion to that 1971 classic. Recorded the previous year at the famed Cincinnati venue (but not released until 1991), Ludlow catches the band in the moments just before their peak. Some of the material will be familiar to fans, but this collection adds gems such as John Lee Hooker's "Dimples" and the blues classic "I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town" to their recorded repertoire. And if you thought the 33-minute "Mountain Jam" on Eat a Peach was extensive, you need to hear Ludlow's 44-minute version, which comprises the entire second CD. --Marc Greilsamer

Customer Reviews:

Some rare ones here.......2007-04-03

A great live set from 1970 here with the original Allman Brothers Band. Highlights include a live "Dreams", a rare Duane vocal on "Dimples" and a killer "Hoochie Coochie Man" with a fine Berry Oakley lead vocal. Disc 2 contains a lengthy "Mountian Jam" with a very good drum duet. A performance that due to unfortunate events cannot be duplicated so enjoy this one.

A look at the beginning.......2006-03-08

As has been pointed out countless times in the reviews - this is a snapshot of the band in the beginning. Soon they would go on to make history at the Fillmore East. All ABB fans know the story about how they went into the those shows with something to prove (resulting in epic success) but on this night in 1970 they show how hard they must have worked every night prior to hitting it big. I fall into the group of fans who loves the 44 minute mountain jam. It's a real monster! If you already have the fillmore sessions and the greatest hits then give this a try. You might be really surprised.

Any Duane Is Good Duane............2006-02-20

Recorded nearly a year before AT FILLMORE EAST, LUDLOW GARAGE captures the original Allman Brothers Band in its early days - if a career of just over two years could be considered thus divisible - exploring a relatively straightforward rock and blues mode which frequently hints at the transcendent heights they would soon achieve onstage.
Fans will recognize most or all of the tunes here, of course; but as always the songs themselves are simply launch pads for the Brothers' boundless flights, which even at this stage were quite possibly the greatest jams rock music had to offer. The signature "Statesboro Blues" here gains a lengthy slide guitar coda by Duane Allman which I've never heard elsewhere; and "Mountain Jam," while not nearly as astounding as the version on EAT A PEACH, nevertheless impresses with its sheer mass, clocking in at a remarkable forty-four non-stop minutes. Other treats are the rather rare "Dreams" and "Every Hungry Woman," two songs from the band's eponymous debut album, the former featuring eerily beautiful slide work from Duane and the latter a tight, rocking ensemble performance. A churning "Hoochie Coochie Man" lets the drum team of Butch Trucks and J. Johanny Johannson cook up some thunder, while "I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town," another seldom-heard blues cover, spotlights Brother Gregg's fine vocals.
While the sound quality on LUDLOW isn't equal to that of most official live releases, it's strongly recommended for anyone who's gotten into the music of this phenomenal and sadly underrecorded group of musicians. The Fillmore shows (and the recordings made from them) were undoubtedly superior, but there's plenty here you can't get there.

Not the Fillmore Concerts, but Still Great!!!!.......2005-10-14

Not as great sonically as The Fillmore concerts, but still an outstanding live album. This one and The Fillmore should be in any ABB collection. One disc 1 you get an 8 minute version of Statesboro Blues, over 10 minutes of Dreams an outstanding cover John Lee Hooker's Dimples, Berry Oakley doing lead vocals on Hoochie Coochie Man. On disc 2 is the 44 min epic Mountain Jam which I absolutely love, I think it's better than the Fillmore Concerts version. Like one reviewer said this disc could stand to be re-mastered and hopefully with extra songs. Even if it doesn't get the re-mastered treatment you should definately buy this.

Great raw early live document of the Brothers...........2005-08-18

My favorite period of the ABB's music is the original 1969-1974 lineup (minus Duane and Berry when they died in those years). Live, their recordings from this era cannot be beat by any other incarnation. That being said, Live at Ludlow Garage 1970 is a raw early document of the Brothers just flat out playing! Check out the 8-minute Statesboro Blues, the incendiary versions of Dreams, Hoochie Coochie Man, and Trouble No More, not to mention live rarity Dimples, Every Hungry Woman, and I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town. The show concludes with a 44-minute version of Mountain Jam. While I don't listen to this song every time I put this album on, it's a great version that really cooks and is worth a listen every once and a while. There isn't a single weak track on this album and the sound, while raw, is loud, clear, and great. Essential listening for any ABB fan or fan of great late 1960s/early 1970s rock music.
