 (11 Customer Reviews)
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Released shortly after the death of guitar legend Duane Allman, EAT A PEACH occupies an important transitional spot in the Allman Brothers' discography. The leading three tracks, recorded after Duane's death, point the way toward the band's future. While still rooted in the group's blues-jam roots, these songs show the Allmans angling closer to the melodic country style that was guitarist Dicky Betts's forte. Betts acquits himself well on the opening "Ain't Wastin' Time No More," deftly handling a slide-guitar part that cannot help but evoke the group's departed member.
"Melissa" plays squarely to Betts's strengths, while "Les Brers in A Minor" recalls the extended jams of the AT THE FILLMORE EAST album. The next three tracks on EAT A PEACH are taken from the Fillmore shows. Each selection represents the Duane-era Allmans at their best, especially the blistering "Trouble No More." The sound quality on these tracks, however, does not compare well to the analogous tracks on THE FILLMORE CONCERTS, an expanded reissue of the classic live album. The final three tracks, studio sessions featuring Duane, hint at what PEACH might have been had Duane lived.
The Allman Brothers Band: Gregg Allman (vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, organ); Dickey Betts, Duane Allman (guitar); Berry Oakley (bass guitar); Jai Johanny Johanson (drums, congas); Butch Trucks (drums, percussion).

The best sonic experience yet
I own the vinyl, 8-track (yeah, I'm that old), cassette, CD, and remastered CD versions of this recording. ALL of them pale in comparison to this new Surround mix. I know this music inside and out and it was like I was hearing it for the first time. The clarity and presence of the musicians is the most startling aspect of this new mix. There is not a lot of spatial soundstage monkeying around but some of the surround effects are jarring, ie. a slide guitar coming out of the left rear speakers late in a track. I don't know how good the stereo mix is because I can't get past listening to the surround mix. I am waiting with bated breath for the new Live at the Fillmore surround CD to arrive. I won't be leaving the house this weekend for sure. All Sacds should sound this good!!!

One of my Top 10 albums,CD's, whatever format EVER!!
By the way...Bruce,
I think it's the other way around... Duane was in a class by himself and saying "he was in a class with another", is inaccurate. SRV was in a class which is led by Duane.
My $0.02 worth!

The release of "Eat A Peach" on SACD (Hybrid) is as good as it gets. The mastering is incredible, the best yet.
The sound is great both on a SACD player and a standard CD player. "Mountain Jam" really comes alive!

 Must own ABB
This is a must own album by the ABB. Some fans may tire of the very long Mountain Jam, but it has some of the best playing in it.
NOTE: The version of One Way Out on here is NOT from March 12/13, 1971, it is from June 27, 1971 - the closing night at the Fillmore East. I have a radio broadcast of that show.

Eat A Peach
 $20.35  
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
The original Fillmore East album is one of the finest live documents of the rock era, capturing the original line-up of one of the '70s' tightest outfits before they were cruelly robbed of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley. Taken from five 1971 performances at New York's fabled Fillmore East, the extended and effortlessly ...

Eat A Peach
$15.65 
Today the most recognition the Animals get is "House of the Rising Sun" being played on oldies radio, but in the mid-1960s they were a powerful part of the British Invasion, often reckoned on a par with the Beatles, the Stones, and the Who. Like those bands, the Animals had strong roots in blues and R&B, but, in their original incarnation, they stayed closer to those roots than ...
| | Elton John Madman Across The Water CD (1971) SACD Hybrid
Eat A Peach
$16.05
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER produced only a couple of minor hits, which may have something to do with the fact that its best songs are all five or six minutes long. But they're among the strongest songs in the entire Elton John catalog--especially the lovely opening track, "Tiny Dancer," which builds from a light, delicately melodic verse to a sweeping, dramatic chorus. Another highlight is the inscrutably biographic "Levon," whose title character was born "on a Christmas day when the New York Times said God is dead."
