Gregg was later interviewed about this night. He said it was a turning point in his life. He rewatched it a few days later and was horrified to see how he spoke and looked. Said he was drinking apprx a qt of vodka daily. At this moment he decided to get off alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes. He hired a male nurse to live in his home with him while he detoxed. He had been to 16 rehabs, failing at all of them. Seeing himself barely able to stand up was his magic moment. He never again drank, took any drug and stopped smoking - all cold turkey. He said it was the hardest thing he had ever done. Such a brilliant singer/songwriter. He left a huge void in the lives of all who loved his music.
@@davidmehaffey727 Gregory could put the beer and whiskey down harder than Hank Williams Jr. He was a drunk and doped up guy who missed his 2 brothers that were killed on motorcycles
Greg might have been a little sauced but he delivered a great tribute to his big brother. "Was always the first to face the fire" And wow, there is no mistaking Berry Oakley's son!
Listening to Gregg speak on how embarrassed he was at the induction is hard to hear but it made him realize he needed more than he was getting from all the rehabs he had already tried & when he saw this playback it pushed him to seek his own help at home to finally kick all his worst habits & for us it was just as much a blessing as it was for him. I can only praise him for getting through that long night & in his drunken state, Duane would naturally be the one he would mention. We miss him & Duane , Berry , Butch & all the great players that went through that awesome band .
Touching? He was very drunk and was an addict. He even discussed this moment with Dan Rather in an interview and said he was embarrassed because he could barely stand he was so drunk.
"Always the first to face the fire..." I remember watching this the night he says that and I've never forgotten it. I use the term all the time. RIP Gregg...now with Duane
That was Gregg's "come to Jesus" moment. He saw it sobering up, was mortified, ashamed, and embarrassed by what he saw. no reason to EVER wish one brother died over the other. Duane wouldn't feel that way.
Exactly. Some of you people who are dissing Gregg should read his autobiography. He was damn near death at this moment and a total wreck. He changed his life after this.
Duane dying hit Gregg hard no wonder he struggled with addiction glad he got sober and atleast he is with his brother now resting he had alot of health issues in his last years
If Greg would have never watched that tape and was never ashamed and embarrassed, we would have lost him MUCH sooner as well. His liver would quit on him, because of the abuse of alcohol and drugs for decades. I applaud him now, even in death to "face his demons" as he finally did. He was able to give all of US much more music because of his sobriety! Greg was a kind, humble and grateful soul who is continually missed! RIP
@@wvufreak56 that is exactly right, well said. We got the music from him all these years that we didn't get from the 27 club and other greats . Rest in peace Gregg
This band was so influential to me, during so many different times in my life. It’s music that will stand the test of time, and I really believe that it will live on forever. God bless the Allman Brothers Band. ❤️
Live at the Fillmore....ANOTHER of the reasons I took up a '68 Gibson SG and a 100w Marshall Plexi double stack! These guys, both here and "gone on", are ROCK GODS! LONG LIVE the ABB! Rock on!
Man, I'm So Glad Gregg was able to escape addiction. You See Him Here, You Know, The Fun Is Over. He went on to have 20 more Quality Years and was a Class Act. Thank You GOD Indeed.
I spent my 21 birthday in a small auditorium...maybe 150 people, being knocked out by the best southern rock band of all time! It was before people had caught on to how freakin talented they were. There wasn't even anyone at the door to collect our tickets! We just walked in, and down the aisle to the front row and sat in these wooden seats center stage, which were maybe 5 feet from a small stage that actually had a curtain, and were blown away for 2 hours by a Gregg, Duane, Berry, Dickie and Butch giving it their all as if they were playing for thousands! They played for 2 hours, took a break , sat down on the floor at the back of the stage and enjoyed some "refreshments" along with the rest of us, then got up and played for another hour! So up close and personal....the following year, they WERE playing to thousands! Much respect....hard earned and well deserved!!
There are a lot of influential musicians and bands in the HOF, but none more deserving than the Allman Brothers. I loved them as a teen when they were just hitting, and even more so now when compared to other bands over the decades. Truly one of a kind.
I was reading Gregg's memoir recently and he wrote that this way the turning point in his life and he was embarrassed rewatching the footage, seeing himself shit-faced. He said he promised himself he wouldn't get drunk before the ceremony but people were buying him drinks left and right and he couldn't resist. Allegedly Jaimoe was crying in his hotel room that night because he thought Gregg was going to die. The next day when he was going to rehab Gregg filled his pockets with those small bottles of Jacks and vodka and downed them knowing he would never drink again. Gregg has been sober for about twenty years now. Good for him. Long live the Allman Brothers.
cedrictrent92 Greetings from the great state of Texas I am still reading Gregg's book it is an interesting and intense read I am also ready Duwane Daughter Galaderele book ...try to keep in mind these people are simply that people with fears and faults like the rest if us and we should not idolize people ...they were like many glorified druggie marijuana user and drunkards I was a kid in the 1970s so I don't remember to much about them until the 1980s... Lynyerd Skynerd seemed more popular when I was a child from what I remember God bless you and yours
Ana Parada hey fellow Texan,I'm just getting ready to read Greg's book. I was a teenager in the 70's and in my group of friends they were right there with Skynyrd and ZZ Top, Marshall Tucker Band, Willie & Waylon. Just badass music and good times. Now as the years pass,music heroes and family members pass away one by one....And the world keeps on turning. Hold on to your memories and love those that you're close to. God bless you Kevin
Gregg didn't actually go to rehab ..he hired a private make nurse to stay with him at his house, while he kicked EVERYTHING... booze, Heroin, coke, even cigarettes!! And that last time stuck, thank God! His voice sounded better those last few years than it did back in the late 70s!
Yes'Thank goodness that was Greggs Turning Point💯❗He in my Opinion was The greatest Singer-Musician Ever💯❗Period. And He along with The Allman Brothers💯💖❗Were Indeed The Best Damn Band in The Land🎤🎶🎸🎶🎹🎶🍄🍑💯❗The Founding Fathers of Southern Rock💖 Wow💯andWow💯❗AndThe Road Indeed does Go on Forever....
@@klmullins65 I do beg to differ with you about one thing -- I heard Gregg back in the 70s and THAT voice was unreal. During his later years, particularly after his liver operation, he didn't have quite the volume or range that he had earlier. Still, his was the most soulful, heart-gripping voice I ever heard. Thankfully, I was privileged to hear him perform many times over the years and I miss the Brothers greatly.
Indeed it did. I had a somewhat similar experience myself where the pain of something was so great I completely quit drinking. It was without a shadow of a doubt one of the greatest decisions I have ever made; probably the best. My life blossomed and continues to do so. I have so much respect for for those who are trying and those who have succeeded. Never give up trying no matter how long it takes you to crack open that cast iron gate, because a colourful garden of the most beautiful flowers awaits.
@@nonmember8725 how do you know that? And how is that helpful to put on blast? Maybe there is someone out there that is clean and sober because of him and you want to disparage a dead man? Not cool.
It was a a damn sad day for him.....he can't go a day without thinking about his brother. My heart goes out to Gregg and all of his accomplishments. He forged ON when many would have quit.
Gregg never got over losing Duane but all Greggs problems are over now and that's something to be thankful for. Something else to be thankful for ; The Rambling Man is still with us. RIP Duane, Gregg & Berry
Jorge Cruz I like the joke moment from Butch on him..... People don't realize these two guys made history in rock as the very first two drummers that played in tandem for any rock band ever...They were like true brothers...Butch Trucks and Jamoe...the heart of a rhythm section like no other at the time...
@Rusell Shaw Oh man, I didn't know that..Another egregious music Southern legend...Wow..After all these years..Come to think we know all there is to these guys..But we don't.. Thanks for the heads up! 👍
I hadn't seen this, so thank you. The ABB was my first concert, but saw them many times after. No one like them and they really influenced many genres of music and musicians. Superb talent. And for perspective, Duane was only 24 yrs old when he died and had made a huge reputation already for the artist he was. No slackers in that band, they were ALL incredible.
A very dignified induction for perhaps the greatest of American bands. A beautiful introduction from Willie and some moving words and memories from the band and family. Duane is still so sorely missed by us all, and for all the great musicians lost too soon and too young, it is perhaps Duane's passing that still touches us the most. In response to another poster, out of all the marvellous and epic music they created, it will always be Blue Sky that most evokes the memories and nostalgia for me.
They never should have kicked Dicky out of the band. The live shows never had the visual electricity once he was forced out. Big mistake Butch. 1989-2000 were powerful years for the band and they proved to be one of the greatest American bands of all time.
@@Cpayne30 say what!? I guess a month of shows every year at the Beacon in March in NYC, and two or three sold out shows in the Boston area and all across the country EVERY SINGLE SUMMER proves you wrong.
@@PatriotSteve 2000 with Dickey was just not powerful; it was extremely poor by the band's standards. Dickey was playing great up through 95-96, but after that he was very inconsistent.
I have loved this band and especially Gregg as since I was able to appreciate music!! Heard Ramblin Man and it was LOVE!! They were and are an Extremely talented group of Men!! His son Micheal Sean lives in the same town as I do, plays locally and is very talented in his music with that AWESOME DEEP RASPY VOICE I JUST LOVE!! And brings back many great memories of Gregg and his musical talent. My favorite concert ever was seeing him at Ruth Eckerd Hall! RIP Gregg!! Thanks for all the great music and memories!!
RIP Gregg Allman. Deepest Condolences to the family & friends. He was a great talent. The 70's wouldn't had been the same without him and the band. It was a damn shame that Duane died so young and then Berry Oakley was also killed in a motorcycle accident very close to the location of Duane's wreck the following year in 1972. RIP Gregg. Cause of deathComplications from liver cancer.
These guys were hardcore rockers and I loved them!!!! I only wish I could go back to the late 60's thru the 70/s and hear some real rock n roll...you don't hear it these days -- the bands that followed based their music on the bands of this era..you can hear it...and where are the real rock bands today...there aren't any like this!!!!!!!
God I wish Duane would've been alive for this. The music world lost major part of Rock music the day that Duane died. His loss is immeasurable. I still shed tears for Duane to this day, over 51 years after he was tragically taken from us.
You`re right.Although he was drunk, he did`nt sound to bad, he got all the words out, and from what I`ve read he wanted to say alot more. But what he did say was short and sweet and touching. To me, his short speech seemed to have worked well. Thanks.
They were such a good band, that I remember even when they appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, they were one of the few bands that Doc Severinsen and his orchestra would jam with! Doc loved playing his trumpet with those guys--that was an honor for him!
Supposedly when Gregg walked up on stage to shake Willie Nelson’s hand, Willie said “Jesus Gregg, are you alright?” Thank God he got away from that. They were the best.
I’m still in AWE of this band - here, after listening to them starting in 1988 , when I was in high school. They’ve never not been one of my faves - and I always come back and listen again, more intently, and I hear new things I missed before. They have such a rich legacy and will forever be a part of the American music experience . So proud of who they were/are and what they did.
I was just in Macon. Visited the Big House and Duane and Berry's graves at Rose Hill Cemetery. Spoke with someone down there who knew Gregg somewhat and seemed in the loop. This was just after the bogus hospice reports. Apparently Gregg is not doing well. He's home but the whispers are not encouraging. The one person I spoke with had tears in their eye. Let's pray for Gregg. May he come to know his Savior while there is still time.
@Kitten Lyric Yeah what's this guy just ASSUMING that Gregg has no relationship with the Lord. Most recovering addicts/alcoholics have a stronger relationship with God than the average Joe. Or even the common hypocritical, condescending, gossiping, judgemental "church goer" Guess how I know that.
Berry Oakley was peerless in the world of bass players, as peerless as the others were in their field of fame. I have found a lot of praise for for all the others ABB members, but not a lot about Berry's innovative style and the benchmark he set for future bass players.
Amen to that. Listen to the live version of "Blue Sky" at SUNY recorded the month before Duane died. Berry is monster on that track, soloing underneath the guitars but still keeping the rhythm going.
Greg said he didn't rember this at all, and it was the reason he got clean. And i thought he was clean years before , i met him at The Joint in Vegas and rember him that he was very nice to the fans after the show..
Lamar Williams, who played bass after the death of Berry Oakley, wasn't mentioned either, nor were the Toler brothers. But at that moment on stage I guess it is difficult to try to remember and mention everyone.
Chuck Leavell along with Jaimoe and Lamar Williams were in the band Sea Level back the 70's after the Allman Brother first split up....Chuck later on played with the Rolling Stones after Ian Stewart died.
If you want the real truth, ask a drunk. Gregg was right and truthful, Duane was always there and damn well FIRST to face the fire. You would go through him if there was any trouble. RIP.
I started listening to the Allman Brothers and other southern rock groups like the Marshall Tucker Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd in the early 90s because country started going to shit at that time.
Barry Oakley Jr. was actually raised by Chuck Negron, one of the singers in Three Dog Night (the one with the great mustache). Negron married Julia Densmore who was married to the Doors Drummer who she divorced then briefly dated Oakley before he died. Whew.
Just finished reading, "My Cross to Bear" by Gregg and he says he hit his bottom at that time, the alcohol was killing him. He was pretty wasted when he got to the awards ceremony.
Greg said he could barely stand up. He seen this tape a couple days later & said he cried like a baby. Alcohol is such a horrible drug. It does horrible things to people.. He said coming off of it was just diabolical. I'm sure missing Greg Allman. One of my favorites. I hope he is at peace & with his baybra...( That's what Duane would say. Its a southern thing )
Recently I listened to Gregg's fantastic audio book and he talked about this period in his life and this induction ceremony and brother, he wasn't kidding about being a mess and on death's door step and ashamed of himself.
I am so happy to see this. Warren Haynes & Allen Woody! Warren sang very well. He was as good as Gregg. That is saying a lot, because Gregg Allman had one of the best voices in music generally.
An interesting comment. He did begin life in Mississippi. But after all, he came to the Allmans as a jazz drummer. I've rarely heard black jazz musicians who couldn't speak ceremoniously as classy sophisticates, no matter their origins. Linguists call it "code-switching". This is a common skill in much of my black community
@@pauljordan4452 In dialect linguistic studies, in which I wrote my doctoral dissertation, code switching is defined for African-Americans as the ability for many to switch at will from Black English (an established "home" dialect of English) to the more accepted register of Standard American English. It's an active research question to determine why some black Americans possess this adaptive ability to a greater or lesser degree, which may be a function of life associations and/or desire. I would wager that Jaimoe, who was born in black Mississippi, would unconsciously revert to the black dialect register when visiting relatives and friends in his formative language community.
@@yvonnelaurenty6427 he spoke very eloquently. I wish musicians nowadays would speak professionally and respectful to the masses instead of the cussing and filthy mouthed version, that I believe influences our youth to mimic.
I read Gregg's book and I don't blame him for being drunk one bit. It was a very emotional night for him and he never stopped missing his brother. I'd do the same fucking thing.
Watch the video from 1972 @ Hofstra University NY. Only Betts on guitar and Berry on bass. Dickey singing Rambin Man and playing his leads wishing he had Duane on stage with him. Berry watching Dickey with the same lonely look in his eyes. 9 days later Berry died in Macon Georgia only 3 blocks from where Duane died after hitting a truck. How does a band come back from that loss. Gregg continued on for his brother and band mates and he knew the music would eventually save him too.
Gregg was later interviewed about this night. He said it was a turning point in his life. He rewatched it a few days later and was horrified to see how he spoke and looked. Said he was drinking apprx a qt of vodka daily. At this moment he decided to get off
alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes. He hired a male nurse to live in his home with him while he detoxed. He had been to 16 rehabs, failing at all of them. Seeing himself barely able to stand up was his magic moment. He never again drank, took any drug and stopped smoking - all cold turkey. He said it was the hardest thing he had ever done. Such a brilliant singer/songwriter. He left a huge void in the lives of all who loved his music.
David died in 72 on motorcycle and Gregory never recovered.

Man, hard to see Gregg in that state for such a momentous occasion. I saw that interview as well. Long live the Allman Bros.

Greg might have been a little sauced but he delivered a great tribute to his big brother. "Was always the first to face the fire" And wow, there is no mistaking Berry Oakley's son!
He was very drunk here. He discussed this moment in a Dan Rather interview and said he was barely able to stand up.
That moment right there is what made him get sober
Dickey looks exactly like Duane Betts when he shaved.
Galladreille Allman, so sweet. A lot of emotion there. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Sky Dog lives. RIP Duane.
Her book was wonderful.
Man seeing drunk Greg have nothing else to say other than praise be to my late big brother is very touching.
According to later interviews .... he
Yea you’re right. Very touching
Listening to Gregg speak on how embarrassed he was at the induction is hard to hear but it made him realize he needed more than he was getting from all the rehabs he had already tried & when he saw this playback it pushed him to seek his own help at home to finally kick all his worst habits & for us it was just as much a blessing as it was for him.

All that tragedy and dope couldn't tear them apart, one of the best bands ever.

There wasn't even anyone at the door to collect our tickets! We just walked in, and down the aisle to the front row and sat in these wooden seats center stage, which were maybe 5 feet from a small stage that actually had a curtain, and were blown away for 2 hours by a Gregg, Duane, Berry, Dickie and Butch giving it their all as if they were playing for thousands!

His son Micheal Sean lives in the same town as I do, plays locally and is very talented in his music with that AWESOME DEEP RASPY VOICE I JUST LOVE!! And brings back many great memories of Gregg and his musical talent. My favorite concert ever was seeing him at Ruth Eckerd Hall! RIP Gregg!! Thanks for all the great music and memories!!
ALLMAN BROTHER BAND GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ nad GENIUSZAMI KOSMOS KOCHANI na zawsze dziękuję BOGU za wszystko dziękuję BARDZO
RIP Greg
RIP Gregg Allman. Deepest Condolences to the family & friends. He was a great talent. The 70's wouldn't had been the same without him and the band. It was a damn shame that Duane died so young and then Berry Oakley was also killed in a motorcycle accident very close to the location of Duane's wreck the following year in 1972. RIP Gregg. Cause of deathComplications from liver cancer.
Wow, very moving...thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting this hard to find piece of rock n roll history.
Blue Sky is their best song, one of the greatest of alltime in fact.
These guys were hardcore rockers and I loved them!!!! I only wish I could go back to the late 60's thru the 70/s and hear some real rock n roll...you don't hear it these days -- the bands that followed based their music on the bands of this era..you can hear it...and where are the real rock bands today...there aren't any like this!!!!!!!
bands sure can't play 11 minutes and upward either...they give us their 3 little minutes of shit.....The Allman Brothers were Legend
Bless him. What a hard life a celebrity must lead.
My Condolences to The Allman Family members and friends of Gregg Allman...😢😢🕇🕇🕇🌷🌷🌷🌷
God I wish Duane would've been alive for this. The music world lost major part of Rock music the day that Duane died. His loss is immeasurable.
I still shed tears for Duane to this day, over 51 years after he was tragically taken from us.
You`re right.Although he was drunk, he did`nt sound to bad, he got all the words out, and from what I`ve read he wanted to say alot more. But what he did say was short and sweet and touching. To me, his short speech seemed to have worked well. Thanks.
Good job Gregg you did big bro proud. And galadriel looks just like her daddy. God bless you all.
Well Deserved & Long Overdue!
I love it that you posted this so I could see it. I Love The Allman Brothers Band
They were such a good band, that I remember even when they appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, they were one of the few bands that Doc Severinsen and his orchestra would jam with! Doc loved playing his trumpet with those guys--that was an honor for him!
Supposedly when Gregg walked up on stage to shake Willie Nelson’s hand, Willie said “Jesus Gregg, are you alright?”
Thank God he got away from that. They were the best.
I don't see where Gregg was so drunk he claps for the guy thanking his mother at 3:20 I thought he was pretty respectful imo
Agree. He didn't appear to be stumbling or slurring.
I heard gregg attribute seeing the replay made him get clean.
He did yes. It inspired him to turn it all around. It takes balls to do something like that. 100% respect for the man and may he rest in peace
Warren is carrying on with class
I’m still in AWE of this band - here, after listening to them starting in 1988 , when I was in high school. They’ve never not been one of my faves - and I always come back and listen again, more intently, and I hear new things I missed before. They have such a rich legacy and will forever be a part of the American music experience . So proud of who they were/are and what they did.
I was just in Macon. Visited the Big House and Duane and Berry's graves at Rose Hill Cemetery. Spoke with someone down there who knew Gregg somewhat and seemed in the loop. This was just after the bogus hospice reports. Apparently Gregg is not doing well. He's home but the whispers are not encouraging. The one person I spoke with had tears in their eye. Let's pray for Gregg. May he come to know his Savior while there is still time.
@Kitten Lyric
Yeah what's this guy just ASSUMING that Gregg has no relationship with the Lord. Most recovering addicts/alcoholics have a stronger relationship with God than the average Joe. Or even the common hypocritical, condescending, gossiping, judgemental "church goer" Guess how I know that.
Gregg Allman greatest Southern Blues Rocker ever graced the state or picked up the guitar!!! STELLAR!
Uuhhhhhmm.....guitar?
One of the greatest bands of all time!
Who stole Dickey's mustache?
Don Mueller Shit, I didn't even recognize. I was trying to find out who did the intro speech
Conor Logan LOL...I was confused too the first two seconds, but then I recognized his voice. 😎
lmao i dont like him without this mustache
@@susycruz1985 he was a cute and gracious fella either way - always glad-handing fellow musicians.
I miss it.
Wow! Powerful stuff! Thank you Allman Brothers Band!
Gregg's 1973 solo album "laid back" is very good but unheralded.
It is a superb album and did receive quite a bit of critical acclaim and commercial success.
Get off Gregg's back. Although an honor to get into the Hall of Fame, it had to be tough without Duane and Barry
LUV YA GREGG ..... NO MATTER WHAT..... THIS IS THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND........ALLMAN IS THE NAME...
R.I.P. Gregg
Dickey was a cool dude, with a dry sense of humor,he held it together for this speach
Berry Oakley was peerless in the world of bass players, as peerless as the others were in their field of fame. I have found a lot of praise for for all the others ABB members, but not a lot about Berry's innovative style and the benchmark he set for future bass players.
Amen to that. Listen to the live version of "Blue Sky" at SUNY recorded the month before Duane died. Berry is monster on that track, soloing underneath the guitars but still keeping the rhythm going.
Greg said he didn't rember this at all, and it was the reason he got clean.
And i thought he was clean years before , i met him at The Joint in Vegas
and rember him that he was very nice to the fans after the show..
Can't get enough of the Almond Brothers although I've always been a Mounds man myself. Sometimes you're feeling your nuts, but best you don't.
Allman
@@debbiemeek3741 The meek shall inherit the earth, but only after the comedians have made fun of its inhabitants. I suggest you get a sense of humor.
It's a shame nobody mentioned Chuck Leavell who was a big part of the band for years.
Indeed. Why the heck wasn't he there?
Lamar Williams, who played bass after the death of Berry Oakley, wasn't mentioned either, nor were the Toler brothers. But at that moment on stage I guess it is difficult to try to remember and mention everyone.
Chuck Leavell along with Jaimoe and Lamar Williams were in the band Sea Level back the 70's after the Allman Brother first split up....Chuck later on played with the Rolling Stones after Ian Stewart died.
If you want the real truth, ask a drunk. Gregg was right and truthful, Duane was always there and damn well FIRST to face the fire. You would go through him if there was any trouble. RIP.
Takes a bunch of Southerners to thank the fans first, which all bands should do, and very few do. Did you hear the Beatles thank the fans?
not lately.
The Beatles were a creation of the Tavistock institute of mind control never forget that
Betts was always phenomenal
Very classy. Great group.
Crossroads seem to come and go
Thank you.
I started listening to the Allman Brothers and other southern rock groups like the Marshall Tucker Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd in the early 90s because country started going to shit at that time.
Barry Oakley Jr. was actually raised by Chuck Negron, one of the singers in Three Dog Night (the one with the great mustache). Negron married Julia Densmore who was married to the Doors Drummer who she divorced then briefly dated Oakley before he died. Whew.
Whew is right, kind of a cool story
Just finished reading, "My Cross to Bear" by Gregg and he says he hit his bottom at that time, the alcohol was killing him. He was pretty wasted when he got to the awards ceremony.
Greg said he could barely stand up. He seen this tape a couple days later & said he cried like a baby. Alcohol is such a horrible drug. It does horrible things to people.. He said coming off of it was just diabolical. I'm sure missing Greg Allman. One of my favorites. I hope he is at peace & with his baybra...( That's what Duane would say. Its a southern thing )
Recently I listened to Gregg's fantastic audio book and he talked about this period in his life and this induction ceremony and brother, he wasn't kidding about being a mess and on death's door step and ashamed of himself.
Dickey Betts is a hoot in this.
I am so happy to see this. Warren Haynes & Allen Woody!
Warren sang very well. He was as good as Gregg. That is saying a lot, because Gregg Allman had one of the best voices in music generally.
Poor Gregg. But it was a Crossroads in his life. He got better as a result of this.
God bless one of the greatest bands ever
Wish dickey would of been with the band on their 50th anniversary
Gregg Allman said seeing himself on this made him get sober
Rest in Peace Gregg
"You read that I'll kill ya!!"... gotta love Butch!!
Jaiome sounds like the "whitest" one of them all.
An interesting comment. He did begin life in Mississippi. But after all, he came to the Allmans as a jazz drummer. I've rarely heard black jazz musicians who couldn't speak ceremoniously as classy sophisticates, no matter their origins. Linguists call it "code-switching". This is a common skill in much of my black community
@@yvonnelaurenty6427 Code switching means switching languages in the same sentence.
@@pauljordan4452 In dialect linguistic studies, in which I wrote my doctoral dissertation, code switching is defined for African-Americans as the ability for many to switch at will from Black English (an established "home" dialect of English) to the more accepted register of Standard American English. It's an active research question to determine why some black Americans possess this adaptive ability to a greater or lesser degree, which may be a function of life associations and/or desire. I would wager that Jaimoe, who was born in black Mississippi, would unconsciously revert to the black dialect register when visiting relatives and friends in his formative language community.
@@yvonnelaurenty6427 he spoke very eloquently. I wish musicians nowadays would speak professionally and respectful to the masses instead of the cussing and filthy mouthed version, that I believe influences our youth to mimic.
@@pauljordan4452 Yvonne is correct. (I have a Master's in applied linguistics.)
I read Gregg's book and I don't blame him for being drunk one bit. It was a very emotional night for him and he never stopped missing his brother. I'd do the same fucking thing.
Watch the video from 1972 @ Hofstra University NY. Only Betts on guitar and Berry on bass. Dickey singing Rambin Man and playing his leads wishing he had Duane on stage with him. Berry watching Dickey with the same lonely look in his eyes. 9 days later Berry died in Macon Georgia only 3 blocks from where Duane died after hitting a truck. How does a band come back from that loss. Gregg continued on for his brother and band mates and he knew the music would eventually save him too.
