these my hometown boys, I live 17 miles from their Big House & where Duane Allman & Berry Oakley are buried at Rose Hill cemetery right here where Rock n Roll started in Macon Georgia with Lil Richard in 1952! Otis Redding is also from here & many other greats recorded their albums here like Molly Hatchet, James Brown, REM, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Wet Willie, Marshall Tucker Band, Percy Sledge, Elvin Bishop, & so many others! ANYTHING by the Allmans is a fantastic eargasm but my fave is No Way Out - PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS!
My favorite (probably EVERYONE'S favorite) Allman Brothers song. I was fortunate enough to see them perform this LIVE in Florida decades ago. NO one could dislike this song (six people in the thumbs down column). I don't get it. This is one of the best blues songs EVER!
Gregg Allman was only 20 yo when he started playing with his older brother Duane, those guys could make such great music! Love The Allman Brothers. Thank you
Those accused of adulatory were also tied to the whipping post , back in New England , in the days of the Puritans. Ya know , those devoutly religious people who tied you to a stake and burned you alive if the suspected you of witchcraft.
Whipping Post off the Live at Filmore East album is a live version the song and Gregs brother Duane Allman plays the slide guitar on this song. Epoch version.....
Yes, the whipping post was used against slaves, but public floggings were (and still are in some places) a form of criminal punishment for anyone going back thousands of years. Great video.
Best Blues Band ever. End of story. Greg Allman's soulful voice, and Duane's top shelf slide guitar playing is unmatched. This hasn't got a thing to do with slavery man. Reading something into the song that ain't there. Enjoy the music. Crazy woman drove him to the edge, is what the song is about.
You need to do the live version. It's an experience! Yes. You were right armpit the whipping post. Slaves were tied to it, in public, and whipped. Many in the south use it as a metaphor for pain.
Gregg Allman was married to Cher for a short time they have a son named Elijah Blue he's also a musician in fact he's playing guitar as a teenager in Cher video- If I Could Turn Back Time
@@pcraig1383 Man now THAT is the tune that got everybody turning around n asking who the hell is on guitar? Pickett gave him his nickname "Sky Dog" cuz when he plugged into that old Fender amp his playing lifted yu to the clouds. It was Duane's idea n he approached Pickett about Hey Jude n Pickett said he wasn't doing "no song bout no damn Jew" 😆. When they started jamming to Duane's arrangement it just caught fire. At the end Duane, this 20 yr old kid, was putting the Muscle Shoals guys on the edge with his perfect bends and knowing when to compliment Pickett and shine thru but let Pickett's voice still be the upfront sound. I could go on forever about Duane. His untimely death likely changed music. Since the band formed in Macon GA n that's my hometown I can go to the Graves any day. See the shrooms they carved into the sidewalk. The Allman Brothers...yu just can't get better.
@@pcraig1383 YW buddy! Glad you enjoyed that. You naming those tunes brought that memory back. Last time I went was at Gregg's funeral. Dickie actually showed up but incognito. He walked down said some things under his breath and walked away. I wanted to say something but of course it wouldn't have been appropriate. The music will last forever
Yes and no. Historically, the whipping post is a lot older than when the America’s were colonized and then enslaved. So, yes, slaves were definitely tied to the whipping post. But then again, as an example for Christians, so was Jesus. So were all slaves, indentured servants, poor land workers and alleged criminals. Being whipped on a post is about as old as humanity is.
Good music is good music. It is the one thing that unites us all regardless of race, religion, or background. Love to see you appreciate a song that's nearly 50 yrs old.
Please listen to the live at fillmore version of this song. As a matter of fact, listen to that whole album. Long jams and great musicianship and singing.
Best "live" album of all time. Could almost say best album period lol as much as I enjoy it. Both Dickie and Duane rip those guitars a new asshole in their solos...n the way it builds off of Barry's bass in the beginning working up to Butch n Jaimoe beating those skins...Damn. Just a perfect cpl of nights they had there. Probably the hottest they ever were. The whole band was just so together and tight. And Gregg's voice...so powerful and full of soul man.
@@erinhafer228 Amen brother. I really don't see where anybody could doubt it. They were on FIRE those shows. BONUS TRIVIA...Anybody know why everybody is cracking up on the album cover?
Now watch them perform it at Filmore East. The singer was Greg, Duane's brother. Duane died on his motorcycle soon after this, '71 I think. Duane and Dickie Betts on guitar, Barry Oakley on bass. The year after, Barry died on his motorcycle, two blocks over from where Duane died. Greg carried on.
The anniversary of Gregg Allman's death was just a few weeks ago. Here's what Warren Haynes, Allmans guitarist from 1989-97, said about their impact back in the late 60s: “Here was this group of Southern hippies with an integrated band coming out of the Deepest South with equally deep music on the heels of some extremely deep changes. We didn’t realize how heavy that was at the time but we sure realized how heavy the music was." Now do "Revival" or "Jessica."
My husband and I have been married over 30 year's. We're a biracial family. Imagine 30 years ago us going to all of these concerts, in Los Angeles, and him always saying the only thing darker than him was his reflection!
To really appreciate The Allman Brothers Band,you need to watch any live clips of theirs,but a lyric video of this track gives you a fair idea of how great this band were at story telling.
If you want to hear this most excellent band live (including this song), listen to Live At The Fillmore; considered the best live album ever, at least one of them
my favorite Allman Bros song- I know the title might put a lot of people off but it expresses how desperate and helpless people feel in a seriously messed up relationship-
Gregg Allman was 19-20 years old when he was singing WHIPPING POST and his voice sounded like he was 50 years old even at 19-20 years old. His brother Duane Allman is a top 10 guitarist great. WHIPPING POST live at the Fillmore East in 1971 is 23 minutes long.
OH I didn't get a notification for this one, dang it!! Anyway, this one of their best!!! Try "Midnight Rider" and "Melissa" next..... you won't be disappointed!!
Whipping post- a 6*6 piece of wood sunk 4 feet In the ground. Stood about 6' tall. Iron rings on all sides. Slaves were chained or tied to the post and horse whipped. Shit ripped the skin open every hit
Gregg Allman is singer and keyboards, Duane Allman is always the first lead/slide guitar, Dickey Betts always plays the second solo lead guitar, Barry Oakley is Bass. There are 2 drummers playing simultaneously: Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Johnny Johnson.
Glad you liked the Allman Brothers. In my opinion they are the greatest blues rock band of all time. Duane Allman is my favorite guitarist of all time. His brother Gregg was the singer. Dickey Betts was the other guitar player in this band. He was a great guitar player and song writer. I recommend listening to Elizabeth Reed from their Fillmore East live album. They have a lot of really good songs.
What ? No Utube notifications lately. Allman Bros are 🔥 just seeing this but really enjoyed it Twon. So much more of them to enjoy. Sweet Melissa and Midnight Rider are both bangers. 👍🏻💥
my #1 band of all time, the soul and passion in Gregg's voice always shot strait to my soul. head and shoulders they stood amongst them all IMO! do yourself a favour and check out "Southbound" nobody reacts to that classic........
Flogging, if you're at sea and lashed to something. At least in some form by military and pirates, I'm sure. But glad to see you're digging into these men. They were the best musical thing from Georgia/Florida.
Anything you listen to by the brothers should be live. Studio recordings did them no justice. Check out " Live At Fillmore East" "Live At Ludlow Garage" and "Live At Atlanta International Pop Festival"
Yeah man the Allman Brothers are one of the greatest bands to ever come out of the South. Check out their song Dreams if you want a real vibe. Also, Duane Allman was the lead guitarist and his older brother Gregg Allman was the singer. Believe it or not both of them as well as most of the band were in their early twenties when they recorded this song.
It was a punishment , pirates prisoners, slaves. Odd that I never realized the meaning relative to slaves till watching your reaction. And I've listened to this for decades
Had you intentionally excluded that vision that could indicate a problem with your thinking, but I'm betting you simply didn't think about it consciously. IOW it was there, you just didn't feel a need to separate it out and distinguish as any more egregious than anyone else being tied to the post. I mean talk about equality...What could be more universally oppressive and soul crushing? We humans, we're a special lot aren't we?
@@andyfletcher3561 It was never a conscious thought about what it really is. Took it only as a metaphor for someone beat down, rode hard put up wet . I'm sure I've had the thoughts of what it really was or is .
And here's the thing about them.. most folks.. even fans.. don't know their best songs. They are one of those bands who's best sings weren't the songs that got radio play. Mostly because those songs were way to long.. 10 to 13 minutes.. in a time where all sings had to be under 5 to be on the radio. So yes.. many of their popular songs like whipping post are great... but nothing compared to their b side stuff that only die hard fans know about..
Great song, but I think my favorite is "Nobody Left to Run with Anymore." It came out in 1994 and I think was the last song they released that charted.
Please hear Desdemona, Jessica, but do Whipping Post live, and watch Gregg and Duane play of each other, toward the end. It's such a lush forest of sound and excellence.
Best band of a generation jazz blues country and rock many time in one song amazing

It was an old form of capitol punishment, not only slaves anyone could get it. Just a sign of the times.
Thw Allman brothers Mellisa and Midnight Rider. You can't go wrong
I prefer Greg’s solo album version of Midnight Rider. It sounds more lonely and desperate, which fits the lyrics better.
Live Melissa...Fire!
💯💯💯💯❤️🔥❤️🔥💯💯💯💯

I appreciate you, kiddo, and your willingness to delve into old music.
Yes, the whipping post was used against slaves, but public floggings were (and still are in some places) a form of criminal punishment for anyone going back thousands of years. Great video.
By the way, y'all, don't read too much into the title. The basic message is, "Being with this woman is like taking an ass-beating."
don't forget the military and pretty much every penal institution on the planet.....
Don't have to be a slave to get whupped.
Greg Allman (long blond hair) is the lead vocal. I do believe he plays the piano. His brother Duane Allman is a great guitarist.
Yep lets just see it through the lens we want to.
The Allman Brothers Band is best listened to live. And there's PLENTY of live Allman Brothers to listen to.
Just turned 50 and my 80's music is classic!
Best Blues Band ever. End of story. Greg Allman's soulful voice, and Duane's top shelf slide guitar playing is unmatched. This hasn't got a thing to do with slavery man. Reading something into the song that ain't there. Enjoy the music. Crazy woman drove him to the edge, is what the song is about.
THANK YOU ! Everything's not about slavery. Enjoy the music
#NoLimitNation A classic. Don’t know why I thought you did this before 🤔 Allman Brothers are awesome. 💯
Right On! Hey Pete!
You need to do the live version. It's an experience!
Yes. You were right armpit the whipping post. Slaves were tied to it, in public, and whipped. Many in the south use it as a metaphor for pain.
“One way out” next please! My favorite♥️
Gregg Allman was married to Cher for a short time they have a son named Elijah Blue he's also a musician in fact he's playing guitar as a teenager in Cher video- If I Could Turn Back Time
I’m glad you mentioned these details
Duane Allman was one of the lead guitars, Gregg Allman is the singer, keyboards. (Pronounced like regular Dwayne).
Duane Allman, Dude.
One of the greats.
When Eric Clapton asks you be on the Derek & The Dominos album you know you the proverbial shit.
He also recorded with Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin.

True. Nobodys been tied to more whipping posts than born again believers in Jesus Christ. They built churches out of their bones.
@@everykneeshallbow lol. I’m an atheist. I was just using it as a relatable analogy for those that are believers 😉
yea the whipping post goes back to the Egyptian times 4000 years ago when they used them for slaves & punishment against anyone
The military were also big fans corporal punishment as well.
Allman Brothers have a great catalog. Check out their song "One Way Out". Gregg Allman was the singer and his brother Dwayne plays the guitar.
Good music is good music. It is the one thing that unites us all regardless of race, religion, or background. Love to see you appreciate a song that's nearly 50 yrs old.

That entire album will go down in history as the best live album of all time!
@@erinhafer228 Amen brother. I really don't see where anybody could doubt it. They were on FIRE those shows.
BONUS TRIVIA...Anybody know why everybody is cracking up on the album cover?
1st time hearing the Allman's? Lucky man!
They're talking about the torture of being a slave to an unworthy love.
exactly-i know people who fit that description
It ain't uncommon.
@@Missangie827 We all do. Sometimes it's unfortunately even us - at least for a time.
Also this song is in a 11/4 time stamp. I love the layered instruments especially in the beginning.
You haven’t heard this song until you listen to the live version
The ABB was the first Southern Rock band and they were also one of the first Jam bands! They are also my favorite band ever!
You'll love Southbound. My favorite AB song
When reacting to the Allman Brothers you should always do live versions and especially this song. Fillmore East version.
True that to your reaction, young Sir, and keep on. You might listen to their song, Statesboro Blues.
The Allman Bros. Band was sooo good! Great live version of this from Fillmore East, 1971.
I sit in with a blues band. This song is on the set list. Brings down the house every time!
Now watch them perform it at Filmore East. The singer was Greg, Duane's brother. Duane died on his motorcycle soon after this, '71 I think. Duane and Dickie Betts on guitar, Barry Oakley on bass. The year after, Barry died on his motorcycle, two blocks over from where Duane died. Greg carried on.
"Revival" is another great banger by the Allman Brothers...

We didn’t realize how heavy that was at the time but we sure realized how heavy the music was."
Now do "Revival" or "Jessica."
The vocals on this song are great, but it's really the guitar that makes the song so killer
Great reaction again keep em coming..
Yo. do Dylan's 'Hurricane'..
badass Denzel Washington stars in the movie!!
My husband and I have been married over 30 year's. We're a biracial family. Imagine 30 years ago us going to all of these concerts, in Los Angeles, and him always saying the only thing darker than him was his reflection!

If you want to hear this most excellent band live (including this song), listen to Live At The Fillmore; considered the best live album ever, at least one of them
Great Band! You should also React to “Midnight Rider”, “Melissa” and “Jessica” by them as well.

Devon Allman is his son. His music is good too!
Duane Allman was up there with Jimi Hendricks. Unfortunately another member of the 27 club. Rest in peace. Loan Me A Dime is a must.
The Allman brothers are deep. Based on the delta blues it comes out in their music. This rabbit hole is deep my friend, jump in and enjoy.
OH I didn't get a notification for this one, dang it!! Anyway, this one of their best!!! Try "Midnight Rider" and "Melissa" next..... you won't be disappointed!!
Just seeing this right now. Dang utube :(
Ha ! I just said the same two songs. ❤️
Whipping post- a 6*6 piece of wood sunk 4 feet In the ground. Stood about 6' tall. Iron rings on all sides. Slaves were chained or tied to the post and horse whipped. Shit ripped the skin open every hit
This version does the song no justice. Can’t really see how good of musicians they really were.
Twon, please! Revisit and react to them Live from Filmore East. It is a must witness.
Berry Oakley’s opening licks on the bass really draw you in.
Gregg Allman is singer and keyboards, Duane Allman is always the first lead/slide guitar, Dickey Betts always plays the second solo lead guitar, Barry Oakley is Bass. There are 2 drummers playing simultaneously: Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Johnny Johnson.
This is the shitz!!! Whippin post goes back centuries before slavery

❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
We’ve all been there.
Metaphorically speaking.
Great review. Loved this!
That look you gave ?? .. lol 😉 👍 priceless $$
You need to react to the Live version of this. Live at the Filmore East.
Flogging, if you're at sea and lashed to something. At least in some form by military and pirates, I'm sure. But glad to see you're digging into these men. They were the best musical thing from Georgia/Florida.
Aww Gregg Allman great singer( lead )
Greg and Dwayne Allman. I believe Greg was only 19 when he sang this song.
Yes
You say what you want anytime you want son
Thank you. ❤
His love for a woman has him "tied to the wiping post".
Anything you listen to by the brothers should be live. Studio recordings did them no justice. Check out " Live At Fillmore East" "Live At Ludlow Garage" and "Live At Atlanta International Pop Festival"
Sometimes indentured servants got put to the whipping.

I need to see if Chris Stapleton ever covered this😳
He did.
yes he did, its on you tube
He sure did, and it was fantastic
Gregg Allman was 19 when he wrote this. Did you figure it was an old classic blues song? So did I
yes
One of the best, guitar player recorded with Aretha, Wilson picket etc...
Try "Smoking gun" or "Time takes two" live at Crossroads by Robert Cray.
Now you found it. The real deal.
Awesome 👌

The Allman Brothers music was not a black or white thing its just a damn good thing n a Gift from God just enjoy it.
Also tied debtors to the whipping post in Scotland
Hey man just keep listening.
Don’t apologize! History is what it is. You have nothing to be sorry about. It’s a statement of fact.
Greg Allman lead vocals brother Dwane in band also.
Please hear Desdemona, Jessica, but do Whipping Post live, and watch Gregg and Duane play of each other, toward the end. It's such a lush forest of sound and excellence.
Back then they whipped everyone...pirates & kings & religion especially,were big on flogging ....
You need to listen to "One Way Out" if you haven't yet.
I thought exactly the same about a whipping post.
Gregg Allman is the singer Duane Allman is his brother and he plays lead guitar
You wanna wild 'ride' , with the ABB , here ya go , (4) An Evening with The Allman Brothers Band: First Set - 07 - Nobody Knows - TH-cam
No one ever notices the crash of guitar and organ at the end mimic a whipping.
HEY TWON... ♥
Yes, but he's referring to the music industry is what I read about this song anyway. Sounds good to me!
