The Allman Brothers Band will reissue a 2018 album that features recordings from the group's appearance at New York's Fillmore East a year before its more famous shows there.
Bear’s Sonic Journals: Allman Brothers Band Fillmore East February 1970 is set for reissue on June 18 and includes three CDs of material recorded by the Grateful Dead's late sound engineer Owsley “Bear” Stanley.
In addition to several Allman Brothers classics, the recordings include the three earliest known live concert recordings of Dickey Betts’ “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed."
"What I love about that song is if you have a bunch of top-shelf players, they can express themselves beautifully in that song, once they learn it," Betts said in a 2014 interview. "I don’t have a favorite version, but my least favorite is the studio version that we did."
