The album was produced by Tom Dowd, who condensed the running time of various songs, even merging more than one performance onto one track. At Fillmore East peaked at #13 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart.
Several songs recorded during the same set of shows, including "One Way Out", "Trouble No More", and the memorable "Mountain Jam", were later released on Eat a Peach, the latter spanning two sides of the double album. "Mountain Jam" is based on Donovan's "First There Is A Mountain" and features all of the band's members in extensive solos. This song clearly shows the band playing at its best.
Those songs were later included in their entirety, along with un-cut versions of some, re-edited versions of others, and some previously un-included tracks, on a new release of the Fillmore material entitled The Fillmore Concerts. "Stormy Monday" gained back a harmonica solo, and "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'" and "Drunken Hearted Boy" were now included as well.
In 2003 the TV station VH1 named At Fillimore East the 59th greatest album of all time.
