So, what is everyone's favorite ABB album? There are so many tasteful albums to choose from but personally, I'd have to go with either Eat A Peach or Live at the Fillmore East.

I've always though that, considering the circumstances, Brothers and Sisters was a remarkably strong album. In fact, this album, in my opinion, may have what allowed for Dickey Betts to emerge as the prominent force in the band.<br />
<br />
However, I've recently fallen in love with Where It All Begins. It's always been an album that I have enjoyed, but until recently I had never truly noticed how great of a line-up the band has following it's reformation in the late-80s until the mid-90s. <br />
<br />
Generally when I consider favorite albums by bands such as The Allman Brothers Band and The Grateful Dead, I will choose both a favorite studio album and a favorite live album.<br />
<br />
At the moment, my favorite official live Allman Brothers album is An Evening With. Once again, this is the same line-up as on the studio album Where It All Begins, which sported a line-up of Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, Jai Johann "Jaimoe" Johanson, Marc Quinones, Butch Trucks, and Allen Woody. The energy level of this album is incredible, and peaks at the 15-minute masterpiece Nobody Knows from Shades of Two Worlds (which I am still searching for because it is currently, for reasons unknown, out of print).
