I DROWN MYSELF IN SORROW
AS I LOOK AT
WHAT YOU'VE DOWN
NOTHIN' SEEMS TO CHANGE
BAD TIMES STAY THE SAME
AND I CAN'T RUN

Boston Common, 8/17/71
is a live album
by the rock group
As the name suggests,
it was recorded at
Boston Common in
Boston, Massachusetts,
on
August 17, 1971.
It is the fifth
archival release by
the Allman Brothers Band
Recording Company,
and the third one
to feature t
he original lineup
of the band.
It was released in 2007,
and re-released in 2014.
Allmusic said,
"The group's outdoor appearance
in Boston occurred
six weeks after the release
of their breakthrough album,
At Fillmore East,
and ten weeks before
[Duane] Allman's death.
The song selection doesn't
just repeat the tunes from
the Fillmore East disc,
the band opting instead for
a few songs not heard on it...
This is an album for the faithful,
and it will not disappoint them.
"All About Jazz said, "
... it will remind both
the aficionado
and the dilettante
that the scintillating peaks
scaled by the Brothers'
At Fillmore East
were nevertheless revisited
fairly regularly.
The group brings an edgy energy
and, during the
lengthiest improvisations,
an altogether melancholy majesty
– to a fairly standard set."
