The Bend Theater brings you Southbound: 55th Anniversary Celebration of The Allman Brothers Band’s classic album “At Fillmore East”
Southbound will present a retrospective of “At Fillmore East,” the Allman Brothers Band’s first live album, released in 1971. Recorded over three nights at the Fillmore East in New York City, this album marked a pivotal artistic breakthrough for the Allman Brothers, significantly enhancing their popularity and earning recognition as one of the greatest live albums in rock history. It achieved Platinum certification and was preserved in the Library of Congress for its cultural significance.
“At Fillmore East” showcases the Allman Brothers Band’s distinctive blend of blues, rock, country, and jazz. The album opens with Duane Allman’s slide guitar on “Statesboro Blues,” followed by “Done Somebody Wrong.” “Stormy Monday” features impressive guitar solos and transitions into a swinging rhythm. “You Don’t Love Me” introduces jazz-inspired improvisations, while “Hot ‘Lanta” emphasizes Berry Oakley’s masterful bass work. “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” draws comparisons to John Coltrane, and “Whipping Post” culminates in an extended jam filled with intricate solos, remaining one of the band’s most popular encore selections through their final performances in 2014.
Southbound, a Milwaukee-based band, is celebrated for its classic rock sound infused with a jam-oriented groove. With an impressive thirty-year history of delivering authentic renditions of rock music classics, Southbound preserves the integrity of the songs they cover while adding their unique flair. The band has achieved notable success in the Midwest, performing before large audiences at prestigious events. Southbound has cultivated a dedicated following that appeals to a diverse array of music enthusiasts who appreciate exceptional rock and roll. The essence of the Southbound experience is characterized by powerful vocals and exceptional instrumentation. The ensemble includes Stan Lukasz (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Gary Koehler (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Tony May (Keyboards, Vocals), Roddy Lopez (Drums, Vocals), Jim May (Lead Vocals, Bass), and special guest drummer Mike Kasprzak (Cactus Brothers & The Violent Femmes) and Eddie Lopez (Percussion).
