more than any other band this one deserves to be heard by all especially your younger generation. these guys were almost magical to my ears. how many bands can say they started the Genre that has rocked the world for over 50yrs! southern Rocks Finest!!!!! RIP Duane, Barry, Butch and Gregg! thanks for the lifelong soundtrack.
Having seen them 4 times, 3 times before Duane died, I much preferred them doing "Don't Keep Me Wonderin' " live than "One Way Out". However, their live performances of "Whippin' Post" on any given night, kills both.
@@helgar791 I agree with you about “Whipping Post” but since they already reviewed it I thought that seeing Duane and Dickey trade riffs on “One Way Out” is something everyone should experience. “Don’t Keep Me Wondering” is also fantastic to see from the Fillmore East. Great harmonica playing.
@@helgar791 I don't know, obviously ALL the recordings from that weekend at the Filmore are spectacular BUT... The version of "You Don't Love Me" that made the album is (in my opinion) THEE single BEST live songs ever recorded! Also, Dickey Betts' solo in that song is probably the best guitar solo ever recorded! That says a lot too as Duane is definitely my favorite guitar player of all time!
@nickcolletta9140 Don't you "really hear a blues song" in Statesboro Blues? And isn't Statesboro Blues "one of the best live performances ever"? Come on, both songs (and a few others) are on the same top level!
This band is in a category all by itself. I mean, come on. It doesn’t get any better than this. Blues, Country, Rock, Jazz..it’s all there. Arguably the best live band ever.
I grew up with Southern Rock. I love Blues. When "I woke up this morning" I was 30 minutes from Statesboro, Ga cause I live in Southeast Georgia. See! Everyone has something to be grateful for!
I don't have many bragging rights when it comes to music, but I saw these guys two nights in a row one year before this was recorded. I was 16, and at a three day rock festival.
I cannot express how cool it is did I get to see young people really appreciate what we all got back in our day. Keep doing what you're doing we appreciate you
The Brothers were born in Nashville and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. My favorite American Band for over 50 years. Duane was the master of the Slide Guitar and his younger brother, Gregg was the greatest White Blues Singer of all time. Shout out must go to their other guitarist, Dicky Betts, a legend in his own right! They virtually invented Southern Blues Rock. I have been fronting 8 Bands in the last 20 years and we always have done Statesboro Blues, One Way Out and Stormy Monday. Whipping Post is a must listen as well.
You can't know how it makes me feel seeing you young people love this music. At 75, it still touches me the same way. These guys were from Macon Georgia, and they sure were good.
Grew up with Allman Bros!! Thank you big sistas!!! How can you sit still listening to them, when we went to their concerts, we never needed seats cause we danced for three hours!! They are from Florida and later Georgia, God they touch your soul!!
They were born in born in Nashvillle, Tenn were they spent most of their childhood until their father was driving and picked up a hitchhiker to give him a ride home and was shot and killed. their Mom mov d them to Daytona Beach after that, they also formed the band in Jacksonville, Fl with Dickey Betts, And many of the original band members, later they settled in Richmond Hill and Macon, Georgia
One of my all time favorite ABB songs is Blue Sky. You can’t help but feel good after listening to this song. This is the perfect sunny day driving song! I promise you’ll absolutely love it!!
Any song off the Fillmore East album will blow your minds. This song Duane is playing slide guitar. After the second verse Dickey takes the solo. Duane does all the fills with slide. Gregg and Duane Allman were born in Nashville and grew up around Miami. The group played out of Macon Georgia.
Great rock band from the 70's that mixed blues, jazz & country music in their sound. They had lots of great songs such as "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed", "Whipping Post", "Melissa", "Blue Sky", "Ramblin' Man" etc. One of my favorites is their instrumental "Jessica" which was written by guitarist Dickey Betts & named after his daughter.
"Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low". Tell us all about it Gregg. Duane on the guitar. And the rest of the boys keeping up, The Allman Brothers Band, one of the finest in the land.
The Allman Bros second home was here in New Orleans. They were like the house band at the Warehouse . They would play to damn near daylight. The Warehouse was just that. An old warehouse where all the best bands flocked to.
This jam is about Statesboro Georgia which is an hour north of Savannah! I live 15 miles from the birthplace of southern rock & home to the Allman Brothers {the Big House museum} in Macon Georgia {2021 World Series Champs Atlanta Braves 2021 National Champs Georgia Dawgs}, they are definitely a band you should do more of! Macon is also the home of one of the godfathers of rock n roll Lil Richard & the soulman Otis Redding - PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS ✌☮
@@oldschool4382 yup but lived & created their famous southern rock right here in Macon where they recorded their 1st album The Allman Brothers Band at Capricorn Studios November 4 1969 & the rest is history! You should come visit their Big House museum & also the home of the godfather of rock Little Richard & the soul man Otis Redding! Molly Hatchet, Lynryd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels, Black Oak Arkansas, Little Feat, Atlanta Rhythm Section & many others all recorded here, Capricorn also has a museum telling the history of southern rock
Only lets me hit the 'Like' button once. In concerts, this was the opening song, Duane thought of it as a warm-up/ get it on tune. They were both ( Duane and Gregg) born in Nashville, moved to the tidewater area of Virginia (Norfolk-Virginia Beach) then back to Nashville, then to Daytona Beach FL. Had a band called The Hourglass and went to Los Angeles in the attempt to make a go of it but the record company tried to control their music to make them more commercial. Bad move resulting in failure and band breakup. All but Gregg Allman went back east, with Duane stopping off in the Muscle Shoals area, working as a studio player at Fame Recording studio. He then went to Jacksonville FL, met up with others for a little jam session. The others (mostly) turned out to become the new band. Needing a singer, Duane called for his brother to come back. They were taken under contract by Atlantic Records then given to Capricorn, out of Macon GA, where they moved to so they'd be close to the studio. Southern? Yeah, I think so. Gregg Allman didn't like the title 'Southern rock'. To his mind, ALL rock music was Southern in origin. Southerners were all over rock music. Chuck Berry - St Louis, Elvis - Memphis, Little Richard - Macon. He said you might as well call it 'rock rock'. The so-called experts call the ABB the Kings of Southern Rock. This song was recorded at the Fillmore East Theater in NYC, and recorded for the album 'Live at the Fillmore East' in 1971. 7 months later Duane would die tragically in a motorcycle accident. This album has been called the greatest live music recording of all time. I agree. Look at the song listing, and just play it out. It's amazing.
Thank you for mentioning Gregg's comments on the term 'southern rock'. And he's right; they were so much more; jazz, blues, rock, country all blended into what one might call the Allman Brothers Band sound. Someone in the dorm had their first album in 1969 or 70 and they've been my favorite since.
The Brothers were so good; they could take a classic and make it their own by the time they were done with it. Stormy Monday, Trouble No More, Statesboro Blues are just a few examples. Tightest band I've heard in my 70+ years.
So glad that you have such a great appreciation of their sound, soul and blues. Duane and Greg Allman were from Tennessee but later moved to Jacksonville, Florida where the band was from.
ABB is one of the most important and influential bands of all time. I'm too young to have seen the original lineup, but I saw them twice in the early 90's and they are hands down the best live band I've ever seen. 3.5 hours each show! **Now you gotta listen to Taj Mahal's version...the inspiration for the Brothers to add it to their playbook**
I worked with Allman Brothers many times in the 70s and 80s as production staff... My all time favorite from the first time I heard them play in 1968... Every tune will reach your heart and soul... Try a fun tune... Revival
One of my favourite bands of all times. I was 13 when this live album came out. Had to save up to buy it because it was a double album. Never got to see the original lineup live but saw different versions over the years. The original one-two punch of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts on guitars with Berry Oakley on bass....man!! I saw their farewell tour at the Beacon in NY a few years ago. Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks provided that same punch as the original duo and Oteil Burbridge was right in there on bass. Gregg, Jamoe and Butcb were always there for us. RIP Duane, Berry, Gregg and Butch.
Duane Allman tried to get his brother to come back and sing for "this band" he had put together for some time. He told him they were really good. In Gregg's autobiography he said when he walked into the room and heard them playing for the first time, he literally fell back against the wall in shock at what he was hearing. Incredibly talented band and you guys are spot on with your analysis.
Saw them live many time they came close to home. From the 70’s and through the years and you could see them in the early days for $25. 00. Now a days you need a second mortgage to get concert tickets. Although I got a guy for that. 😂 Seriously, was never disappointed and check out Stormy Monday live if you get a chance. Love your reactions to music I grew up with. Love you and God Bless. Keep, keeping’ on.
I saw them for under 5 bucks less than 20 years ago.. A radio station in the area did a promotion, how many people you could fit on a blanket could get in for a general admission ticket. To this day that was one of the best shows I have ever seen and the cheapest..
Back in 1970 I saw them in Atlanta's, Piedmont Park for free. Also at the second Atlanta Pop Festival along with Jimi, Johnny Winter, many others ( ABB played first and last) - 3 days for $13.00. Good things of life were cheap back then.
Duane and Dickey on guitars...Gregg on those amazing bluesy vocals. One of the best rock-blues bands ever and a huge influence on so many. Gregg and Duane Allman grew up in Daytona Beach but after forming the band they all landed in Macon, GA.
Imagine seeing The Allman Bros. in Ne York City's famed Lincoln center!? I have seen them no less then 4 times, I am a huge fan!! Since I heard the "Eat A Peach" album. R.I.P Duane Allman who was one of the founding members and a fine guitarist. Dicky Betts is no slouch either. Southern Rock was really popular in the 70's and early 80's. Check out The Marshall Tucker Band. Much Luv...
As stated many times here, Duane Allman is the best ever slide guitarist. But Gregg is possibly the best white blues singer ever, as well. Not a bad combination.
I was fortunate enough to see the Allman Brothers several times throughout the years 3 times with Duane, he is a slide God, but I can honestly state, Derek Trucks is every bit as good.
Soul, Jazz, Blues, Rock played with skill, passion and creativity....ABB.....Keep in mind, there are two players,. The second solo was Dickie Betts, one of the greatest ever....
I saw them at the Fillmore auditorium in San Francisco. They had amateur night on Wednesdays for $1.00. We saw the Allman Bros there for one dollar! Never heard of them before then. My buddies and I said, "hey, they're pretty good". Ah, the good ol' 60s. Ya had ta be there. 😏✌💛
One of your greatest reaction videos guys. And I’m a fan, to see the two of you enjoying their music. Makes me smile, and the kicker with them is. Most of their greatest performances are all live. Not studio. Great Job and I thank you both 😎
They created Southern Rock. Played a concert with them in 1971...saw them a dozen times in 1970 and 1971...Best band ever....authentic true Blues music played from the heart and soul of everyone in the band.
Back in the early 2000's I had the chance to see the Allman brothers in concert, it was over 3 hours long but in all honesty it felt like it lasted maybe a hour it was that good, out of all the concerts I've been to over the course of my life it ranks #1 on my list, and yes they are from the south, Gregg and Duane Allman were born in Nashville Tn and called Georgia home.
"Greg Allman - Come and Go Blues 12/11/1981 (Unknown)" this is a rare gem with only Gregg Allman singing. I know Duane was a G.O.A.T guitarist but it has to also be clear that without Gregg's haunting soulful voice there would not have been an "Allman Brothers Band" RIP: Duane U R Missed 💔🔥🤘🏼🎸🎶
It's so great to see people still discovering great classic music from the past and keeping it alive for the next generations. So grateful for these recordings and the musicians themselves too.
Can't go wrong with ABB. A couple of their other jams you haven't checked out yet are *Melissa* (1972) and *No One To Run With* (1994). Agree with you both; ABB is sit back, toe-tappin', timeless music.
The Allman Brothers Band were simply the best American band ever ! This song just proves how good they were,every musician played his part from the Butch and Jaimoe on drums,Berry on bass,Gregg's awesome vocals and keyboard work,Duanes unreal slide guitar work,and Dickey coming in on the second guitar solo - more from The Allman Brothers Band please guys
Yeah! Early Allman Brothers is awesome! Try Ain't My Cross to Bear, Dreams and when time permits, the epic, live from the Fillmore East, Whipping Post, those tunes are amongst the best you will ever here. Southern Rock's best. Enjoy! 🎵
That was one killer album when it came our back then . A double live album recorded at New York’s Fillmore east . No one plays slide guitar like Duanne Allman . No one !
I had the good fortune of seeing the original Allman Brothers twice (w/ Duane Allman on slide guitar). Side note: before this line-up, Greg & Duane had a band called The Allman Joys. Nice reaction, by the way.
The amazing thing about Duane Allman is all that he accomplished so young...he's still considered a slide guitar icon...he died when he was 24. He was probably 23 here.
Until Duane's death the Allman Brothers Band was primarily a blues band with a little Rock thrown in. After he died in 1971 the band's next album had a more even blend of rock and blues with a little country added in. It was in response to this time period in 1972 that a writer coined the term "Southern Rock" to describe one of their concerts.
The Great Late Duane Allman on that Slide guitar and Dicky Betts on that other Lead. Put Berry Oakley on Bass and Butch Trucks on Drums, and Finally Greg Allman on Keyboards and Vocals. This group was KICK ASS back in the early '70's
This song was originally recorded by Georgia blues singer/guitarist Blind Willie McTell w who was active from the 20’s - 50’s. Statesboro is a small town between Macon & Savannah, Ga known mainly as the home of Georgia Southern University. The Allman Brothers were based in Macon, Ga. & recorded for Capricorn records. They all lived together in an old mansion called “the big house”. That squealing guitar you hear is the late great Duane Allman on slide guitar. He also played on tracks by Aretha Franklin & Wilson Pickett when he worked with “The Swampers” in Muscle Shoals, Ala.
For more Allman Brothers blues you've gotta hear Stormy Monday from Live at the Fillmore East and Not My Cross to Bear from their self titled first album, The Allman Brothers Band. Greg's voice at its best and both Dicky and Duane masterful.
Statesboro blues was their opening number most sets. From the first note, ecstasy came out of their instruments. Often Dwayne had this enormous grin and was on his tippy toes.
The live version of this song is completely amazing. Also consider the fact that the Allman Brothers Band had two drummers who played totally in sync with each other. There was not a single mistake by either drummer - Butch Trucks and Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson. I saw this band at a venue in St. Louis, MO back in 1973 on a Sunday night. The concert started at 8pm and was supposed to be over at 11pm when the venue was supposed to close up for the night. We were still there at midnight that night! Southern rock at it's best.
Their "Wasted Words" has one of the best lines of advice going: "Well, ain't no saint,, sure as hell ain't no savior, Ever other Christmas, I would practice good behavior, That was then, this is now; don't ask me to be Mister Clean, Baby, I don't know how"
The Allman Brothers Band (ABB) was formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1969 by Duane Allman (slide & lead guitar), Gregg Allman (vocals, organ, songwriting), Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass guitar), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jaimoe (drums)
more than any other band this one deserves to be heard by all especially your younger generation. these guys were almost magical to my ears.
how many bands can say they started the Genre that has rocked the world for over 50yrs! southern Rocks Finest!!!!!
RIP Duane, Barry, Butch and Gregg! thanks for the lifelong soundtrack.

Amen, Duane sounds soooo gooood it hurts!!
If you want to really hear a blues song, check them out doing “One Way Out” live at the Fillmore East. One of the best live performances ever.
Having seen them 4 times, 3 times before Duane died, I much preferred them doing "Don't Keep Me Wonderin' " live than "One Way Out". However, their live performances of "Whippin' Post" on any given night, kills both.
@@helgar791 I agree with you about “Whipping Post” but since they already reviewed it I thought that seeing Duane and Dickey trade riffs on “One Way Out” is something everyone should experience. “Don’t Keep Me Wondering” is also fantastic to see from the Fillmore East. Great harmonica playing.

Greatest live album by the greatest band ever in my humble opinion.timeless.
Totally agree. Edgar winter white trash roadwork is a close second.
Live at the Fillmore East by the Allman Brothers is one of the greatest live albums ever.
Never a bad time for the Allman Brothers. Together or solo. Sweet MELISSA is definitely one of the next ones on the list for y'all
That and Jessica is another good one
And don't forget Jessica!!!
Stormy Monday is a must listen. Great reaction guys 🔥❤️
This band is in a category all by itself. I mean, come on. It doesn’t get any better
than this. Blues, Country, Rock, Jazz..it’s all there. Arguably the best live band ever.
And they really didn’t like the “Southern Rock” moniker. They were a fusion band and were the very best at it.

4:35 While the photo shows Duane lying on the floor with his Les Paul Goldtop, the solo in the song is being played by Dickey Betts.

Thank you for mentioning Muscle Shoals. I always forget about Duane's contribution on Boz Scaggs' first album; what a masterpiece.
Its great to see you guys enjoying the blues. Some of the greatest guitarist come from that genre.
Excellent! My all-time favorite blues song. God, that band was great live. Thank you, thank you for this one. Y'all good. Hope all is well.
2 lead guitarists and 2 drummers - they knew how to put on a show.
The Brothers were so good; they could take a classic and make it their own by the time they were done with it. Stormy Monday, Trouble No More, Statesboro Blues are just a few examples. Tightest band I've heard in my 70+ years.
"Live at the Fillmore East" That whole album is gooooood
Great reactions. That is great southern rock we used to listen to and I’m from the northeast. Music was great in the 70s. 😀
So glad that you have such a great appreciation of their sound, soul and blues. Duane and Greg Allman were from Tennessee but later moved to Jacksonville, Florida where the band was from.

I was fortunate enough to see the Allman Brothers several times throughout the years 3 times with Duane, he is a slide God, but I can honestly state, Derek Trucks is every bit as good.
No one. Ever. Talks. about...the...LYRICS.
@@christinerobinson9372 Uncle John and sister Lucille do not get much attention...
@@christinerobinson9372 Well, they did not write this one. It goes back to the early days, Blind Willie McTell.
Ever hear of Leo Kottke? Different style but great!!!
Gregg Allman's vocal skills. Sheer perfection.
Soul, Jazz, Blues, Rock played with skill, passion and creativity....ABB.....Keep in mind, there are two players,. The second solo was Dickie Betts, one of the greatest ever....
I saw them at the Fillmore auditorium in San Francisco. They had amateur night on Wednesdays for $1.00. We saw the Allman Bros there for one dollar! Never heard of them before then. My buddies and I said, "hey, they're pretty good". Ah, the good ol' 60s. Ya had ta be there. 😏✌💛
One of your greatest reaction videos guys. And I’m a fan, to see the two of you enjoying their music. Makes me smile, and the kicker with them is. Most of their greatest performances are all live. Not studio. Great Job and I thank you both 😎
They created Southern Rock. Played a concert with them in 1971...saw them a dozen times in 1970 and 1971...Best band ever....authentic true Blues music played from the heart and soul of everyone in the band.
"Soulshine" is another Allman Brothers must listen to blues gem!
Southern 70's soul, blues and rock.
Just heard it on Sirius Bluesville today. It was a great song way back when and still is. A song that never ages.
Back in the early 2000's I had the chance to see the Allman brothers in concert, it was over 3 hours long but in all honesty it felt like it lasted maybe a hour it was that good, out of all the concerts I've been to over the course of my life it ranks #1 on my list, and yes they are from the south, Gregg and Duane Allman were born in Nashville Tn and called Georgia home.
"Greg Allman - Come and Go Blues 12/11/1981 (Unknown)" this is a rare gem with only Gregg Allman singing. I know Duane was a G.O.A.T guitarist but it has to also be clear that without Gregg's haunting soulful voice there would not have been an "Allman Brothers Band" RIP: Duane U R Missed 💔🔥🤘🏼🎸🎶

It's so great to see people still discovering great classic music from the past and keeping it alive for the next generations. So grateful for these recordings and the musicians themselves too.
Great Blind Willie McTell song! Allman Bros from Macon, GA. Statesboro, GA in the song.
Can't go wrong with ABB. A couple of their other jams you haven't checked out yet are *Melissa* (1972) and *No One To Run With* (1994). Agree with you both; ABB is sit back, toe-tappin', timeless music.
Blessing to have seen them 7 times over the years. The Brothers and Phish are both unreal live experiences. Thankful to have experienced both.
The Allman Brothers Band were simply the best American band ever ! This song just proves how good they were,every musician played his part from the Butch and Jaimoe on drums,Berry on bass,Gregg's awesome vocals and keyboard work,Duanes unreal slide guitar work,and Dickey coming in on the second guitar solo - more from The Allman Brothers Band please guys
Yeah! Early Allman Brothers is awesome! Try Ain't My Cross to Bear, Dreams and when time permits, the epic, live from the Fillmore East, Whipping Post, those tunes are amongst the best you will ever here. Southern Rock's best. Enjoy! 🎵
RIP Duane Allman, RIP Greg Allman. Duane on slide guitar...best ever. Greg'gs vocals, so soulful.
My #1 of the three best Southern Rock Bands of all time!!!
That was one killer album when it came our back then . A double live album recorded at New York’s Fillmore east . No one plays slide guitar like Duanne Allman . No one !
I had the good fortune of seeing the original Allman Brothers twice (w/ Duane Allman on slide guitar). Side note: before this line-up, Greg & Duane had a band called The Allman Joys. Nice reaction, by the way.
One of their best performances!!
These boys transcended the "southern rock" genre even before this FE performance.
Music genius...from the south USA
The amazing thing about Duane Allman is all that he accomplished so young...he's still considered a slide guitar icon...he died when he was 24. He was probably 23 here.
Until Duane's death the Allman Brothers Band was primarily a blues band with a little Rock thrown in. After he died in 1971 the band's next album had a more even blend of rock and blues with a little country added in. It was in response to this time period in 1972 that a writer coined the term "Southern Rock" to describe one of their concerts.
One of the best blues songs ever written.
The Great Late Duane Allman on that Slide guitar and Dicky Betts on that other Lead. Put Berry Oakley on Bass and Butch Trucks on Drums, and Finally Greg Allman on Keyboards and Vocals. This group was KICK ASS back in the early '70's
Duane Allman was one of the greatest slide guitar players ever. Both brothers have passed now. A great band.
He was the greatest slide guitar player and one of the GREATEST Guitar player EVER PERIOD.
I have liked their stuff for decades ever since I heard "Whippin' Post"
This song was originally recorded by Georgia blues singer/guitarist Blind Willie McTell w who was active from the 20’s - 50’s. Statesboro is a small town between Macon & Savannah, Ga known mainly as the home of Georgia Southern University. The Allman Brothers were based in Macon, Ga. & recorded for Capricorn records. They all lived together in an old mansion called “the big house”. That squealing guitar you hear is the late great Duane Allman on slide guitar. He also played on tracks by Aretha Franklin & Wilson Pickett when he worked with “The Swampers” in Muscle Shoals, Ala.
For more Allman Brothers blues you've gotta hear Stormy Monday from Live at the Fillmore East and Not My Cross to Bear from their self titled first album, The Allman Brothers Band. Greg's voice at its best and both Dicky and Duane masterful.
Statesboro blues was their opening number most sets. From the first note, ecstasy came out of their instruments. Often Dwayne had this enormous grin and was on his tippy toes.
Duane had his guitar with him, playing, practicing 12 hours a day. That and he was a ferocious reader. He loved reading books.
The live version of this song is completely amazing. Also consider the fact that the Allman Brothers Band had two drummers who played totally in sync with each other. There was not a single mistake by either drummer - Butch Trucks and Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson. I saw this band at a venue in St. Louis, MO back in 1973 on a Sunday night. The concert started at 8pm and was supposed to be over at 11pm when the venue was supposed to close up for the night. We were still there at midnight that night! Southern rock at it's best.
So glad yall finally did this song!
Best Damn Band In The Land..Then And Still ....From Macon Georgia ✌️💙
Blue sky, rambling man, Jessica..all must listens...the allman brothers are one of the three GREATEST southern rock bands ever
Another great blues song that you must sample is "Stormy Monday" live at the Fillmore East. It will make you melt!
Their "Wasted Words" has one of the best lines of advice going:
"Well, ain't no saint,, sure as hell ain't no savior,
Ever other Christmas, I would practice good behavior,
That was then, this is now; don't ask me to be Mister Clean,
Baby, I don't know how"
Duane Allman on guitar 🎸 and brother Greg vocals and keyboard. Feel them blues with southern rock down to your bones 😎
One of the best bands ever!
First guitar solo--slide guitar--was Duane Allman, the second solo was Dickie Betts. Best guitar duo in rock
I hurt my foot tapping so hard off the floor. One of my 5 or 6 all time favorite bands!
Duane Allman on slide guitar, brother Gregg on vocals
