The Albums Behind Our Designs: 1969 to 1973

Five records in five years took us from a Jacksonville rehearsal room to a number one album. These are the ones behind our designs.

What was our first album?

The Allman Brothers Band (1969). Our debut came out the year we formed: the six of us, two guitars and two drummers, playing blues the way we played it on stage.

What came next?

Idlewild South (1970). Our second studio album, released in 1970, the year we moved into the Big House in Macon, Georgia.

Why does the Fillmore matter so much?

At Fillmore East (1971). We recorded it live at the Fillmore East in New York in March 1971, and it came out that July. It was our breakthrough: the long jams, the twin guitars and the two drum kits, exactly as they sounded in the room.

On the merch: the "Live at the Fillmore" lettering comes straight from that run of shows.

What is Eat a Peach?

Eat a Peach (1972). Part studio, part live, released the year after we lost Duane.

On the merch: the peach turns up again and again: on a railcar under the words "Eat a Peach for Peace", on a vintage stamp marked "Since 1969", and with wings on the Museum badge.

Which album went to number one?

Brothers and Sisters (1973). Our first number one album, with the single "Ramblin' Man". Chuck Leavell joined us on keyboards for it.

How do I pick a design from these years?

Want the classic look? The script logo works with anything.

Like vintage art? The peach designs, the mushroom and the show posters carry the early-seventies feel.
