On March 11th, 1971, the Allman Brothers Band took the stage at Bill Graham’s Fillmore East Theater in New York. It was the first of a series of shows that would be celebrated in rock history. A 23-minute version of “Whipping Post” closed the final night - and it set new standards for the blossoming genre of Southern rock.
Three months later, the Allman Brothers Band were back at the Fillmore East; the venue was closing and Bill Graham had handpicked the band to give the place a sendoff. The Allman Brothers Band ended up playing until dawn. Three months later, Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident in Georgia.
