One of the greatest American Bands to ever grace a stage.
Whenever I wanted to turn someone new on to the Brothers, this is the one I'd play. Every time.
It's a power punch of soul and blues! And with a great dressing-up in southern rock sound. Sooooo good!
Yep!
And for a baptism in Santana, I suggest to folks their "Abraxas" album!
a friend of mine (we're both in our mid-60s and southern) said the other day, "when I don't know what I want to listen to, I put on some Allman Brothers, and as soon as it starts I say- that's exactly what I wanted to listen to"
Ain't that the truth.
I hate when people label them “country rock”. They are far more then that! Just like they label Zeppelin “hard rock”. Those labels do not fit either of them. What a couple tunes right out of the box. I believe they were a fusion of rock and blues, with a seasoning of jazz in there. 😎👍🙏✝️❤️ it was great being a kid back then, 18 years old hearing this stuff...minds were blown!
You can toss out there Rock, Country, Country Rock, and even Jazz and they're all in the mix, but if you wanna get down to the Allman's deep down dirty core, it's always the Blues.
Dude, they were blues, pure and simple, fuck the southern rock thing. They are referencing Blind Willie McTell, Elmore James and other blues greats.
A blues band with so much range tossing in rock, jazz, country, gospel, swing, latin etc wherever it fits and doing it perfectly. Loved this band for 50+ years.
Four years later, this is the ONLY WAY to react to the Allmans' first album for the world. And especially with your goal of experiencing what the world did way back then. This is SUCH a fantastic piece o' work you did.
I've heard this a gazillion times, and every single time Gregg comes in with that growl I get goosebumps. No one could sing like he did!
I DID buy the album "brand new", and these were the first 2 songs I heard, so....yeah. I've been lovin em a long time.Saw them play at a small auditorium, small stage 4 feet from first row...with maybe 150 people there, right before this album soared them into popularity. No one even there to take our tickets. Walked to front row and listened to them play like THIS ...like there were thousands of us there. They took a break in the back corner, enjoyed some " refreshments", along with the rest of us, then played some more. That night was unforgettable! The next year Duane was gone...then Berry a year after that. Loved watching ur reaction.
My older brother and his friend heard this for the first time in 1969. He immediately came and got me to hear it. He had never done that before. He 15, me 14 yrs old. We listened to it till we wore ruts in the LP. Awesome, I love it and my brother for bringing it to me. I’ve never been the same. Love you Mitch.
It’s so wonderful watching young ones like you experiencing what I experienced 50+ years later.
And I still have this vinyl LP. 😎😎😎
Favorite band of all time. What a way to kick it off. Chills every time. Imagine having that kind of mature, soulful voice at 21 yrs old. And the guitars? Come on. Best duo ever for me. Whole band was just perfect together. Keep digging into this album! The first 3 albums at least are required listening!
My fav as well. Can't look back on my life without placing their music in the timeline.
My cousin bought this album new and played it until the day she passed on the band they got in heaven.....rip.
Gregg was only 19 yrs old when he started with his brother. Hard to believe a young person could have such a seasoned voice.
1969 is correct for the debut. I remember hearing it for the first time in my friends older brothers room. He commuted back and forth to Manhattan and kept up on the most recent bands and this was one of them. It's one of those albums you don't need any getting used to. You know you love it right off the bat!
It is hard to believe this 50 years old now. Love The Allman Brothers Band, thanks for doing this, Pat.
Yes they were the GOATS
exactly! these two songs should always be heard consecutively. yes, go song by song for sure.
The Allman Brothers band never rushed a song...they didn't have to
Welcome to the Allman Brothers Band a fan since 1971
Only in their early 20s? No matter...it's called PURE TALENT.
I was 23 about this time and man we really had great music but I believe I appreciate it more now.💚🔧
In case anyone was wondering? Because some people say someone else wrote it. It's not my cross to bear was another Masterpiece written by Gregg Allman.
Blues driven southern rock with a bit of jazz sauce poured over the top and Gregg's phenomenal vocals.
Lots of jazz...in remembered of Elizabeth Reed is all Jazz
I went over to my cousins house, as always, to hang and listen to tunes. He said, “ You gotta hear these guys. I just got this.” The first six notes and I was up on my feet and grabbing the album cover! I was hooked for life. Never has a band influenced me like the Allman Brothers. What a wonderful 45 years they gave us.
One of the greatest debut rock albums of all time.
Those first two songs changed every other music I knew because ….well, it was that good
I think Summer, 1970 was their first big national tour, and they had at least three other bands on a festival-circuit. No one had ever seen 2 drumers, 2 guitarists and such a powerful vocalist on organ. These two songs were how they opened their first year's festivals.
Actually, I bought this album which required me to walk a mile down the road to Peaches Records, in Clearwater, Florida, in 1979. After the mile walk back to my apartment on Gulf to Bay Boulevard, I dropped the needle on this first salvo and was a lifetime Allman Brothers fan in a matter of seconds. I saw them live 36 times and they delivered each and every show. God, how I miss them and their yearly visits.
P.S. Working through the entire album is the only to go for this band, and any other band that is worth it's salt...
Blues+ soul = The Allman Bros and they started the southern rock genre. Love it ☮️
I think somebody asked Duane Allman about the term 'Southern Rock'. His response was,
"Is there any other kind of Rock?".
You made me smile when the music started, cause that’s the same smile we all get when we realize “Yep, that’s them. So damn good”. You know you’re gonna hear some ****** good music. Excuse my French. 😉
You’re right, we were stunned the first time we heard this in ‘69. Nothing like it before, even on the album rock stations, which were not the Top 40 stations.
Been a die hard fan ever since. They were always unique and the foundation of so very many great bands that found inspiration from their music.
Dickie Betts is still with us and still a
guitar phenom. Check out his classic 1973 song “Ramblin’ Man”from ABB album “Brothers and Sisters”. He has many other songs but, like all of the Brothers, very accomplished musician. 🔊🔊🔊
One of my favorites. The Allman Brothers Band's catalog is pure gold. They weren't afraid to mesh different musical styles , and it worked. They pushed the boundaries. That's why they are as relevant today as they were in the late 60's and following decades....Their music is timeless.....Simply timeless.
One of the best blues songs ever written! It was the first album I ever bought, and I was born in 1960, so I was young when I turned on to the ABB, and they’re still one of my favorites. Been listening to them for a long, long time.
Love it.But they actually didn't write it. The original is an old black blues guitarist's work (can't remember his name), and abb always gave him credit when they announced it.
@@yvonnelaurenty6427 Willie Dixon???
@@yvonnelaurenty6427 Thank you for the info!
I was one of those guys who bought that album and listen to those 2 songs 1st and fell in love with The Allman Brothers! By the time Fillmore East came around they were my favorite band and not my cross to bear I used to think was the best, the ultimate rock and roll song and I still think it may be. Thank you for lovin' The Allman Brothers the way you do it's fun to watch you react to their songs.
I hit subscribe because you are the only one who played both songs. Makes all the difference
This is blues and classic rock ❤plus they can do serious jazz too
We slapped in that 8-track tape, baby.
This is when albums were albums.
And that's why you never separate these two songs! It was the first two songs I ever heard them play at a free concert in Atlanta's Piedmont Park. Maybe 500 people there. This album had not hit yet, but word was getting out. It still moves me like no other music to this day! As far as working through the albums goes......it's your show! There are a lot of personnel changes and different "sounds" to the band. This was NOT the same band after Duane and Berry died! All of the albums have their moments. It's best you just do some listening and decide. I do think "Brothers and Sisters" is a very strong record. This is post Duane/Berry, but you do get Chuck on piano added, which absolutely was a great addition. Just listen to "Jessica" and you'll see! I really think the "middle years" are pretty lean, but things really started to heat back up for me when Warren Haynes and Allen Woody joined. That's the "Seven Turns" album, "Shades of Two Worlds" album, and "Where it All Begins" album, which is very strong. Allen also passes away, Dickey gets kicked out of the band and Derek Trucks and Oteil Burbridge join for the rest of the way. The only studio album with that lineup is "Hittin' The Note" which is a mighty fine album IMO. Remember, these guys earned their bread and butter on the road, and they were always primarily a live band. Do yourself a favor and You Tube some of the later live Allman Brothers stuff with Derek/Warren on guitars. Some amazing stuff there! Those two guys are fantastic together! Derek is in a class by himself on slide these days, in my opinion. Both are still playing, Warren with his band Gov't Mule and Derek with his wife Susan, in the Tedeschi/Trucks Band. Both groups have some wonderful material and you should definitely jump off into it!
I was there too! Piedmont park! It was crazy! I was 8 years old. I just went to Rosehill Cemetery last month to pay my respects. Best band ever!✌️🎶🍑❤️🍄
Gregg's voice sure exudes tons of soul for a 21 -22 year old, how. and the guitar interplay between Duane and Dickey, and the Dual Percussions, Organ and Berry's driving bass, simply great stuff.
Southern Rock and Blues - Jazz + some country!
ok if it came out in '69 I was 6. I do remember when I was growing up music was on all the time. Radio then was interesting.. Go from the Allman Brothers to the Momma and the Poppas to the Beach Boys to Led Zepplin... etc... it was a great imte to grow up with some of the most phenominal music ever created.
That's how they led off when I saw them in Sarasota in 1969.
The instrumental lead off let you know IMMEDIATELY these guys are consummate professionals like no other. Once they got that out of the way it was totally awesome. I caught myself thinking correctly, "I think this is going to be the best band I'm ever going to see". They were.
I've seen Zeppelin, guns and roses, Bowie, Aerosmith, Elvis Presley, Traffic, Fleetwood, etc. nobody touched the Allman Brothers. Steely Dan was mighty damn good though.
"Don't Want You No More" sounds like a song you would wrap up an album with -- totally unexpected blast to open the album.
Good Morning Pat ! A devoted Hone Fry here...I first came to your channel when you popped up in the "up next" side bar on You Tube and it showed you were doing your first Home Free reaction. Your awesome online personality made me subscribe and I have watched just about every reaction you have done for any artist/band ever since. I am especially loving watching you hear and watching your reactions to the songs and artists I grew up on in the 60's and 70's. What I am loving even more than that is the look on your face as you close your eyes and really feel and get into a song that did the same thing to me 40-50 years ago. I am so glad to see that old Rock and Roll still lives on and can move and groove "a younger generation" as it did me !!! I am also enjoying discovering the new artists of today that I would have never of found or heard if I did not subscribe and follow your journey of music discovery. Thank you for that !! Keep on bringing us along on your road of discovery......I'm loving the ride!!!! Much Love and heartfelt wishes of a very very Merry Christmas to you and your family ! P.S....... I LOVED your recent story, after a HOME FREE reaction, of how you and your then girlfriend parted ways and years later found each other again through the powers of Facebook, reunited the spark and married. I hope that the feelings you showed us that day is still as intense in your heart on the day God takes you home as it was as you recalled it a few weeks ago.
I'm about as old as this music. Hopefully I've aged as well as it has...
This is one of my very favorite tracks of theirs. The vocals, guitar, beat, and just everything all come together so forcefully here. How in the world can they launch right out of the gate with that much power??
Rudy Toot, me too. Was a baby, so of course, I don’t remember it. Good stuff.
Cool! Love the brothers!!!
Just perfect.
Never heard these...FIRE! Thanks Pat and whomever suggested. Looking at Duane on the cover made me sad.
Almost a year later, your fans are the only ones treated to this experiment: "Let's hear their debut album like we were taken back to 1969." Congrats and thanks for this. By opening with that instrumental - which has so many different tones and rhythms - listeners were investing themselves and then to have that opening scream growl of NOT MY CROSS. Well... listeners had the hook in their mouth, already. By the way, it's a shame the CD producers didn't go back and clip out that split-second pause between Track 1 and Track 2. They HAVE that ability in remasterings but those lazy jerks refused to do that. On vinyl, this was of course a completely smooth and wonderfully jolting transition.
By the way, Santana's first was also a Summer 1969 release and they gained a huge rep by performing at Woodstock and the resulting word of mouth put them on every radio station around. WIth their tsumani of rhythms - which were flooding the West and East coast clubs then festivals for a year, it's interesting that DON;'T WANT YOU NO MORE was filled with mixes of rhythms, too, and that Greg's organ playing was the first 'lead' lines of a two-guitar band on their opening track.
Got turned on to the Allman Brothers what I was visiting Florida June 1970 went down there rabbit hole and I've never come back out... You need to listen to ...Leave my blues at home... off their second album Idlewild South the quintessential Allman Brothers song.
Nice hat. I'm glad you did this correctly
Dude, BLACK HEARTED WOMAN, STANDBACK.
I love the Allman Brothers and I could have seen them live but somehow did not....but I did manage to wreck to rental cars trying to find Duane Allman's grave in Macon Georgia.....the "Big House" that they all shared is now a museum....and a great place to stay in Macon is the 1842 Inn, near the Roseville cemetary where Duane is buried and not far from the "Big House" museum...there are great places to eat in Macon as well....BTW, my favorite comment about the Allman Brother's Band was "Welcome to deep fried southern rock and roll"!!!
Yup. Those two were made to be played together. Would love for you to jump in to more Allman Brothers.
Welcome to the sweet sweet music of 60s and 70s
You might enjoy "JESSICA" By the GREAT ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND

Perfection. RIP Duane, R.I.P. Berry, RIP Butch, R.I.P. Gregg.
Two of my favorites and another great reaction!
They opened shows with this - playing some giant festivals (which were all but required in that summer). And like you had to re-start WHIPPING POST with your wonderful "I wasn't ready for THIS" comment, that's how Allman Brothers audiences felt. Two guitarists, two drummers, one awesome singer...
I respect you, brother, for showing these great musicians enough respect to play through their songs BEFORE sharing your reaction. I enjoy your stoke and observations, but thanks for not having to insert yourself every three bars. You might be able to tell i've listened to a couple of other reaction videos. Those guys totally destroyed the continuity of the songs, injecting their fat egos over and over. 'All about them and not the artists. I won't be revisiting them again.
Thanks for being cool and genuine.
Agreed. I watch these reaction videos as much for the music as I do for the reactions, and if the "reactor" isn't willing to listen to the song in it's entirety, they're really not listening at all!
New Paltz, 1976, Friday night at The Thesis, knocking back Chivas and Heineken. Giving the eye to a girl named Sandy.
Yes, you need to do it like we did! Get the first album then hurry home from the record store, get your friends and your party supplies together. Don't forget the weed, headphones, insence, got to have a lava lamp! Everyone gets comfortable and just lay back and listen 😊! One good thing is that you won't have to wait for the next album to be released and for the record store to get it in stock! Just go straight into the second one
Not sure which way is better ? The anticipation or the instant gratification of today? At least the music will still be great,😎🤩🎶🍄👍😚🤗
It just don't get no better brothers!
Bought this album 3 times as I wore it out!
Pretty powerful and tight out of the chute, that’s why they were called the ABB, bros who were in synch, could play all night. Best blue eyed soul ever put to vinyl.
Muscle Shoals, Al. magic…
what is there to say, that we haven't said about them before? They are simply a great band. I love the Blues man, Nothing like them.
This was a fantastic recommendation. Everyone always plays just "Not My Cross To Bear". The two have to be played together. I was in high school when this album debuted. Blown away and still am today. Their music is timeless. The depth and sophistication is amazing. You've done "Whipping Post" from this album. Equally great is "Dreams". I recommend it highly! Great channel, Pat!
My older brother and can play it "note for note" - Guitar and Bass. Note for note!
"Don't Want You No More/Cross to bare". As well as many other ABB songs.
You got the groove brother!
good reaction..
Working through the albums in order will be great, go for it! You're already ahead a little having done the Fillmore East album but what the hell, no harm done........... And you'll get to hear Whipping Post again at the end of their debut album.
This is how they led off in '69 Sarasota.
Great Southern Rock.
If you get the chance, you should listen to an album by Derek and the Dominoes from around 1972, particularly, "Layla" and "Bell Bottom Blues". Duane Allman played the slide and lead guitar on the album with Eric Clapton.
Awesome music!
And for many many years - this was how they would open every concert. Unless they went the Statesboro Blues route
The funny thing about this and the second album Idlewild South were on the ATCO Label in New York City and the executives decided that they did not like the Allman Bros anymore ,the albums sold a wee bit slow and under performed in sales and the top executive said Nothing good will ever come out of The South of the US ,and they dopped the ALLman Bros . OK goodbye ATCO and then they went to Capricon Label and made them Millions.. ATCO is glad they manged to hold on to those two first albums at least so something did come out of the south that was not too bad.
Thanks so much for this, you made my morning!
I managed to wreck two rental cars looking for Duane Allman's grave in the Rosehill cemetary in Macon Georgia.......Duane was special......and BTW, if anyone wants to find Duane Allman's grave.....travel by foot in the cemetary and also, there is a great B&B near the cemetary, the "1812 Inn".
Allman Bro's are one of the greatest bands ever! In my opinion a rock and blues band from the south! Wouldn't put them as Southern Rock! There right up there with ZEPPELIN ROLLING STONES etc!!!🔥 👏 👏
An Album / LP (LongPlay) 33 1/3 rpms is a record ....just as a single /45 rpms is a record . Both are recordings of something. Hope this helps clarify some
They started Southern Rock
The ABB never liked the description Southern Rock
Right, these 2 songs should not be separated. Years later, on a Greg Allman solo album, he did a new version but still with both songs connected. The 1st song merely acting like a long intro into the second. I prefer the label "Southern Rock", which is ok in lack of better, to "Country Rock", which it's definitely not. Not much country to be found here, but a lot of blues, gospel and rock with a touch of jazz for good measure. So since this is a debut album ( and yes, in 69 we listened to records lol), they start by blasting those double guitars at us, as well as the 2 drummers, which was the signature sound of the Allmans, and then let it slide into the next shock as Gregs raspy, bluesy vocal hits us. Well, that's how to start a debut indeed !!
Good for you for playing both songs. A number of reaction videos only play It's Not My Cross To Bear. Absurd. Work your way through, man. They are the absolute best.
Yooo, a question about headphones....is the organ in the center with bass and drums left and right? With the organ sounding like it's on top of your head? Or they move around as the song progresses?
Oh! almost forgot...Bobby Whitlock is doing a TH-cam history of his musical journey. He was a keyboard player, singer, writer with Delaney&Bonnie, Derick and the Dominos, Eric Clapton's first album, George Harrison's All Things Must Pass among many others. Videos are done by his wife CoCo in his living room. Many great stories about how things went down.
Boz Skaggs: Somebody loan me a dime. That's Duane. The licks from Layla are Duane.
You did it right, play both on this
Months later, and this is the best reaction to these songs and the best reaction to the whole album. I'm looking forward to hearing this album's WHIPPING POST reaction (which is fairly new) because you used the Greatest sHit's remastered crap, which overlaid one guitar on top of the second in places... what a crime.
If you're going to go through their albums, please focus first on the period where Duane was alive. Includes Brothers & Sisters. For 50 years I've wondered where they'd have gone if Duane had been with them all the way.
Dickey Betts the other guitar player has a band called the great southern. Try bogenvillia
Southern Rock Dude
Solid soul ain't it ✌💖
Try : Joe Cocker : Don’t Let Me Be Understood
Pat how is the hot weather
Church!
Their record level could have save a load of money on recording sessions by just bringing their recording equipment to live Allman's concerts...because they were just as good...if not better...live than on record.
Duane loved Miles Davis.
turn up the volume.
After those first two songs I knew I could never dig any more Motown,Beatles,little AnthonyFrankie Lyman because their music far eclipsed them all by far ….and still does...life changing stuff right there,
I don't know what it is about ABB but there is always a bit of coughing going around when their music is playing. ;)
This is how you open a set.jp
So... I've noticed that you do a fair amount of Allman Brothers and have been having a fun time discovering them, but you are cutting your experience short by focusing on the classic material only. Unlike a lot of bands from their era, the ABB continued to release amazing music right into the 21st century and most true ABB fans hold the 90s and 00s material in almost the same regard they do the original stuff and in higher regard than they do the middle period stuff. You gotta dig into the final two albums as well. I suggest Back Where It All Begins, Nobody Left To Run With, and SOULSHINE, from the Where It All Begins album and Desdemona, Firing Line, Who's Been Talking, and Heart Of Stone from Hitting the Note. You really aren't getting the full experience if you don't check those out.
