Following the recent release of Down in Texas ’71, the Allman Brothers Band Recording Company has turned its attention to another archival release – in this case, a reissue of a past title. On June 18, the label will team with The Owsley Stanley Foundation for a wide release of the 3-CD Deluxe Edition of Bear’s Sonic Journals: Fillmore East , February 1970.
This run of concerts from Duane Allman, Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Jai Johanny Johanson a.k.a. Jaimoe, and Butch Trucks was recorded by Owsley “Bear” Stanley at Bill Graham’s late, lamented New York venue on February 11, 13, and 14, 1970. Grateful Dead Records released a 7-track live compilation drawn from the shows in 1996. (The Dead’s performances from those shows has also been released.) Then, in 2018, the album was reissued and remastered on CD, and a limited edition 3-CD set was also issued. The 3-CD iteration presented the already-released compilation CD along as the first disc, with the remaining two CDs offering the source material from all three nights: the complete set of Bear’s Sonic Journals from each show as played by the Allman Brothers Band at the Fillmore East on February 11, 13, and 14, 1970.
