This is greatness, folks. Keep on watching these video performances and listening to their music. There will never ever be a band like the Allman Brothers again.
One of the best Rock/Blues/Southern bands EVER... EVER PERIOD. The ABSOLUTE owners of the Southern Rock/Blue genre.. No match then, now or ever. Oh.. back when music was Analog and Organic.
Every day I thank the Lord above that I was able to see this fantastic band numerous times. Dickey Betts has no equal. Gregg is Gregg. These 2 plus Warren and Woody just isn’t fair to other bands.
When I was 15 in '73, I prayed every night before bedtime that God would either allow me to have Duane's talent come into me, or to become good enough on my own to audition and become accepted as a lifelong member of the ABB as one bad-ass guitar player. I guess Warren was doing the same, and God liked him a whole more.
I saw the Allman brothers way back in 1970, and 1971, at Stoneybrook Universities gymnasium on Long Island,,, and all I can say is,,, I have YET to recover from that!!!
I saw them a few years later. Don't recall the year, maybe 1976. He was with Cher at the time, and she could be seen on stage before they opened. It was the only concert I attended that I don't remember, I do know that I was there though.
i dont hear any comments on warren haynes joining abb and kicking ass on guitar he was a lucky pick up for allman bros straight out of Asheville N.C. we love u warren keep rocking
I've seen many an ABB show... Not old enough to say I've seen Duane play unfortunately... BUT, I've had the pleasure of seeing ABB before Warren joined and after... THANK YOU Warren for hitching up with the ABB and elevating them again.. Same goes for the late great Alan Woody.. phenomenal bassist. RIP to all of the members of The Allman Bros and ABB that are no longer with us. You left us some magical music to enjoy. Peace
@@daucoin3950 Not sure.. when I was in Prep School in the early 70's the Allman Brothers was playing out of every dorm room on campus.. along with Steve Miller The Joker.
You are absolutely right. All of a sudden, every good band had a fashion statement to make...or a snake, a scarf...makeup...the ABBs just shined in their plaid shirts and jeans...
Yeah.. In Oneonta NY back in the 80's I went to one of the local bars and.... Band #1 Was Dicky Betts and Great Southern... #2 was The Gregg Allman Band #3 They played together... it was EPIC
I agree. Saw this lineup several times and looking back it appears obvious to me that Dickey brought out the best in Warren, and this is evident when his recent work is compared to his days of interplay with Dickey.
I’m going to have to agree, not to disparage Derek and his enormous talent in any way. Warren is a damned good player and a damned good slide player. He has an ear for the ‘sound’ and an ear for the ‘style’ of what Duane ‘might have done’. Playing off of Dickey was pretty natural - at least the rest of the band acted like it was. Allen was a fine fiddle player too, but when you mess with sticking needles in your arms every day bad things happen. Greggs voice was still awesome at this time too.
Saw them as a youngster for the first time at Ovens Auditorium in Charlotte, N.C. in 1991 during the box set tour. I was hooked for life. Blues Traveler did a damn fine job opening.
The tour for the Dreams box set was in 1989. In 1990 they released and toured behind Seven Turns. In 1991 they released and toured behind Shades of Two Worlds.
You all know that no one is Better than the Allman Brothers, goes on and on it will always never stop 🛑 But The Easiest Times Were The best. R.I.P. to the best Dicky Betts keep on going you are the BEST.
Dang. Gregg had the ultimate blues voice. Add that Hammond organ, Dickey’s nasty blues licks, Warren’s guitar mastery- no wonder they were the greatest band ever.
Warren Haynes might just be the most underappreciated guitarist of all time. He was perfect filling in for Jerry Garcia after he died n he killed it here his solo around 5:10 is gorgeous. Govt Mule is a badass band as well I've never heard anything of his I didn't like. He's at his best playing w the Allmans tho for sure
i've never listened much to the 90's ABB...always loved the 'classic' group of Duane, Greg and Dickey...Berry, Butch and Jaimoe...But this is great! i'm sure the Deutschlanders loved it too!
Dickeys whole intro solo in( its not my cross to bear) is the best version on my opinion it's so alive, angry, emotional, sinister, evil, sad. It is by far the best example of true spiritual driven improvisatioal expression one could experience and share with energy and feelings.
BTW, to back up another comment: Duane Allman, Duane Allman, and Duane Allman will always be the "Best line up forever." Best to listen to the ABB 1969--October 1971.
T, I'm sorry the way things have been for us. I take my faults and I live with my mistakes; but I can't live on forever and punished for them. I love you and always will for time we shared with one another, lord knows I tried with your demons and problems you had. I tired so hard to understand. In the end, it's not my cross to bear.
I remember watching these guys at The Park in Atlanta back in the day and it was just awesome...like listening to Bach or something, as it was hard to believe that these guys were so polished, so original. Man...
What a set opener!!! Allman brothers rule!!! This tune was written in 69! What the f is in the water with these guys bc they are way ahead of thier time!!
Well said. I have been to every Wanee Fest and although Duane is my ultimate reason I play guitar, Warren and Derek are so good that you have to be in really good shape just to watch these Fr's!!
Mine too....i was too young to see them when Duane was alive.....If i had seen Duane?...my answer would have been alot of swear words questioning your sanity...ahahahah
Amazing archive stuff!!!! ..... But why is half the world obsessed with who's better than who?!! So many of these classic uploads are followed by crazy arguments about X is better than Y, or A kicked B's ass - just listen to the music and give thanks! ABB never had a bad guitarist, and more importantly they never had a bad COMBINATION - which is what they were all about. The interplay and harmony and sympathy between the two lead guitars is what defined ABB music - and what made this band withstand the test of time. Sure, they had great vocals, bassists and drummers - but it was the twin leads that set this band way above so many others. And the vision of one true Blues genius to put it all together in the first place. RIP Duane Allman - your contribution to 60's/70's Blues Rock was immense but way too short. But what a mark you left on those of us that heard you at the time.
"Best line up of forever..." Quite the statement. No argument with anyone's opinion. No point in that. I find that all of the configurations are awesome, depending on what mood I may be in. I wish there were more Duane shows to enjoy. Sometimes the good die young. Thanks for posting this! :}}}
Extraordinarily great video! Camera man seems to understand the layout of the song, so he's right there, at the right time on each musican and actually spends some film on him, rather than jumping all over afraid he's gonna miss something else! Kudos!
With all due respect to Duane Betts, NOBODY sounds like Dickey Betts. He is a one-of-a-kind genius guitar player and song writer, one of the greatest who ever walked the earth.
No shit... "It's not My Cross To Bear" came up on Pandora as we were pulling into the driveway..... I parked and didn't turn off the vehicle. When the intro was over I asked "How do you get any better than that?" and my 12 year old daughter responded "You don't".
If I could play my guitar 1/1000th as well as Dickey I would be happy as hell. The original line-up can never be reproduced of course but The Brothers have carried the tradition on quite well. Warren Haynes is a top-notch artist in his own right. Without Dickey in the line-up I lost interest but will always be a fan of what they created in the beginning that allows them to prosper today.
Same here Cravinbob. I loved him with Warren, with Danny Toler, and certainly Jack Pearson. Bless Dickey for picking up the job of carrying ABB on after the loss of Duane, both with his guitar and his songwriting. Derek Trucks, for all his genius, just didn't do it for me. What would we do without all these great videos that have preserved it all?
Berry Oakley played on the first two songs of the Brothers & Sisters album. Wasted Words and Ramblin Man. BO passed away November 11, 1972. Lamar Williams played bass on the rest of the album. Peach on.
This is greatness, folks. Keep on watching these video performances and listening to their music. There will never ever be a band like the Allman Brothers again.
One of the best Rock/Blues/Southern bands EVER... EVER PERIOD. The ABSOLUTE owners of the Southern Rock/Blue genre.. No match then, now or ever. Oh.. back when music was Analog and Organic.
Just not my cross to bear, sounds organic.😅
The best
Every day I thank the Lord above that I was able to see this fantastic band numerous times. Dickey Betts has no equal. Gregg is Gregg. These 2 plus Warren and Woody just isn’t fair to other bands.
This is fucking music, yes. No one is this good anymore. The Almighty Allman Brothers, been into them since 1970.
Aye! Agreed.
When I was 15 in '73, I prayed every night before bedtime that God would either allow me to have Duane's talent come into me, or to become good enough on my own to audition and become accepted as a lifelong member of the ABB as one bad-ass guitar player. I guess Warren was doing the same, and God liked him a whole more.
Dickie liked Warren and hired him to play in his band
Gregg Allman has an amazing blues voice....
Warren and Dickey were simply incredible together.
Warren Haynes is the real deal. They only did this song live a few times when Duane was alive
Duane and Dickey were incredulous... 👍
Hard to believe he was David Allen Coes guitarist !@@revwahfair
I saw the Allman brothers way back in 1970, and 1971, at Stoneybrook Universities gymnasium on Long Island,,, and all I can say is,,, I have YET to recover from that!!!
I saw them a few years later. Don't recall the year, maybe 1976. He was with Cher at the time, and she could be seen on stage before they opened. It was the only concert I attended that I don't remember, I do know that I was there though.
i dont hear any comments on warren haynes joining abb and kicking ass on guitar he was a lucky pick up for allman bros straight out of Asheville N.C. we love u warren keep rocking
Respectfully, it was mutually beneficial. He was as lucky to be chosen....no hate, just keeping it real. May their music live on!!!
Warren is fantastic and thats why Dickie chose him to play in his band prior to the ABB.
It doesn't matter what line up it is... they always kick ass!
They blew everyone away at Crossroads fest this weekend. Derek Trucks killed it!!!
He owns the title “Mr Slide Guitar” in my book, he was great on it at 14 yes old, I’ve been watching him as a guitarist myself.
Absolutely magnificent performance from my all time favorite musical group!
Well-oiled machine. Everyone is just killing it here.
agreed, well said!
@@pattyboda6403 Amen, boys and girls. Near perfection.
I've seen many an ABB show... Not old enough to say I've seen Duane play unfortunately... BUT, I've had the pleasure of seeing ABB before Warren joined and after... THANK YOU Warren for hitching up with the ABB and elevating them again.. Same goes for the late great Alan Woody.. phenomenal bassist. RIP to all of the members of The Allman Bros and ABB that are no longer with us. You left us some magical music to enjoy. Peace
They set the standard everybody else played against. Nobody ever came close. God Bless the Allman Bros.
Thanks for uploading this great clip.
They created the genre ! there will never be another like them. their debut album is ridiculously underappreciated !
@@daucoin3950 Not sure.. when I was in Prep School in the early 70's the Allman Brothers was playing out of every dorm room on campus.. along with Steve Miller The Joker.
Truth!!
Best band in the land ! Nuff said.
DICKEY IS THE ONLY GUITARIST THAT CAN GET ALL THAT JUICE OUT OF A NOTE
Duane? Derek Trucks? Billy Strings?
The SCREAMING MARSHALS!!
The lead guitar work....most excellent.
Like a fine wine, better with age, After 40+yrs of lovin this music, it sounds better today than ever
Right on !!!!
Allen Woody what beast on the Bass RIP
rest in peace Dickie... You were amazing.
GOD! What a voice!
This is great stuff. I never get tired of this music and as a guitarist myself, never get tired of playing it.
Hell yeah
My uncle jammed with Gregg in Cincy
Fantastic! Great bass player; RIP Mr. Allen Woody.
You will live on, Gregg. RIP my brother.
For eternity. Their music & legacy ensures that.
The brothers are the BEST. Anybody that doesn't like this is probably a Beiber fan. Allman Brothers RULE
God I wish I was there!
Saw them in 1971 10 years old just the best at Macon coluseum
A lotta bands got... weird... during this time period, in the 80s and early 90s... good to know these guys were still keeping it very real.
You are absolutely right. All of a sudden, every good band had a fashion statement to make...or a snake, a scarf...makeup...the ABBs just shined in their plaid shirts and jeans...
Yeah.. In Oneonta NY back in the 80's I went to one of the local bars and.... Band #1 Was Dicky Betts and Great Southern... #2 was The Gregg Allman Band #3 They played together... it was EPIC
I had the head phones on and man I had chills through the whole video.
This is real music and how it is meant to be played.
I'm still asking why i cant push the like button more than once
Lol..me too!
Love that Thunderbird Bass, rarely see that anymore.....
Next to Duane, Dickey and Berry, the lineup of Dickey, Warren Haynes and Allen Woody is my favorite lineup. Really great players.
I agree. Saw this lineup several times and looking back it appears obvious to me that Dickey brought out the best in Warren, and this is evident when his recent work is compared to his days of interplay with Dickey.
Woody is so young.... I tend to forget how early we lost him. This is the shit that made me love the Mule.
Can you put in the full line up here?
only in the 90's though. There were some rough Dickey Warren years
I’m going to have to agree, not to disparage Derek and his enormous talent in any way. Warren is a damned good player and a damned good slide player. He has an ear for the ‘sound’ and an ear for the ‘style’ of what Duane ‘might have done’. Playing off of Dickey was pretty natural - at least the rest of the band acted like it was. Allen was a fine fiddle player too, but when you mess with sticking needles in your arms every day bad things happen.
Greggs voice was still awesome at this time too.
Dickey and Mick Taylor are my 2 favorites. Huge sound and presence
Saw them as a youngster for the first time at Ovens Auditorium in Charlotte, N.C. in 1991 during the box set tour. I was hooked for life. Blues Traveler did a damn fine job opening.
The tour for the Dreams box set was in 1989. In 1990 they released and toured behind Seven Turns. In 1991 they released and toured behind Shades of Two Worlds.
You all know that no one is Better than the Allman Brothers, goes on and on it will always never stop 🛑 But The Easiest Times Were The best. R.I.P. to the best Dicky Betts keep on going you are the BEST.
Man that chord change between songs is just OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Dang. Gregg had the ultimate blues voice. Add that Hammond organ, Dickey’s nasty blues licks, Warren’s guitar mastery- no wonder they were the greatest band ever.
One of the best bands ever put together one of the great bands I should say .
This brought me back to the lawn at Great Woods. Saw them there every year and every show was amazing!
One of the greatest songs ever....
Warren Haynes might just be the most underappreciated guitarist of all time. He was perfect filling in for Jerry Garcia after he died n he killed it here his solo around 5:10 is gorgeous. Govt Mule is a badass band as well I've never heard anything of his I didn't like. He's at his best playing w the Allmans tho for sure
Agree with your comment. Badass solo at 5:10. You know great music!
Amen, Tommy!
Tommy2shoe811 Dickey knows it too, watch his face while Warren shreds
Tommy2shoe811 Woody was no slacker
4syth Looks like healthy competition to me. Dickey holds his own here, both played great.
They are and will always be incredible!!!
Beautiful and Smoking Southern Rock it just does not get better than this.
Omg that was good. What a bad ass lineup and Gregg's voice is awesome.
Saw this version of the band in Nashville in 1991 one of the best concerts .
ever
i've never listened much to the 90's ABB...always loved the 'classic' group of Duane, Greg and Dickey...Berry, Butch and Jaimoe...But this is great! i'm sure the Deutschlanders loved it too!
Im a Deutschlander, saw them on this tour. One of the best concerts I ever saw.
GreGG
Dickeys whole intro solo in( its not my cross to bear) is the best version on my opinion it's so alive, angry, emotional, sinister, evil, sad. It is by far the best example of true spiritual driven improvisatioal expression one could experience and share with energy and feelings.
BTW, to back up another comment: Duane Allman, Duane Allman, and Duane Allman will always be the "Best line up forever." Best to listen to the ABB 1969--October 1971.
The greatest band of all times.
Sing the blues Mr Greg.. My favorite opening number.
T, I'm sorry the way things have been for us. I take my faults and I live with my mistakes; but I can't live on forever and punished for them. I love you and always will for time we shared with one another, lord knows I tried with your demons and problems you had. I tired so hard to understand. In the end, it's not my cross to bear.
That voice on Gregg is second to none!!!
I remember watching these guys at The Park in Atlanta back in the day and it was just awesome...like listening to Bach or something, as it was hard to believe that these guys were so polished, so original. Man...
Quality is timeless.
not ever better said.
seen them on this tour best live sound I ever heard!
I know you're right brother man!
American Legends so blessed to have seen them in Toronto Canada
One of the greatest blues songs ever.
Very good live rendition. Whew!
Eternal...the Allman Bros Band.
I love to watch Dickie play, he puts so much emotion in it 😎

What a set opener!!! Allman brothers rule!!! This tune was written in 69! What the f is in the water with these guys bc they are way ahead of thier time!!
Well said. I have been to every Wanee Fest and although Duane is my ultimate reason I play guitar, Warren and Derek are so good that you have to be in really good shape just to watch these Fr's!!
Now these are some BAD BAD men.Now don't get me wrong i mean this in a really GOOD GOOD way.
The worst there ever was...don't you just love them?
Dickey sure has that Gibson Gold top singing.
rest in peace, my brother.
My Favorite!!!!
I saw this version of the band multiple times 1989-97
My favorite lineup!
Me too. My favorite as well. Man they were powerful.
Mine too....i was too young to see them when Duane was alive.....If i had seen Duane?...my answer would have been alot of swear words questioning your sanity...ahahahah
Woodys heavy bass and Butch pounding away Reminds me of Black Sabbath at points.
Amazing archive stuff!!!!
..... But why is half the world obsessed with who's better than who?!! So many of these classic uploads are followed by crazy arguments about X is better than Y, or A kicked B's ass - just listen to the music and give thanks!

Aye, Aye! Well said!
Yeeeaahhh!!! a great legend of the rock story!!!!!!
I have this on vinyl and CD. I came here because CHABA1 told me to. Nice jam.
"Best line up of forever..." Quite the statement. No argument with anyone's opinion. No point in that. I find that all of the configurations are awesome, depending on what mood I may be in. I wish there were more Duane shows to enjoy. Sometimes the good die young. Thanks for posting this! :}}}
That would be debatable, but they are a powerful great sounding unit!
AWESOME 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖
It has something of rock and roll to it, it aint no boogie woogie for sure.
Love this group as well :D
Great opening for a killer set . Wow !
Beautiful ❤️❤️
Best damn sanger ever was or will be !
One of their best jams
Extraordinarily great video! Camera man seems to understand the layout of the song, so he's right there, at the right time on each musican and actually spends some film on him, rather than jumping all over afraid he's gonna miss something else! Kudos!
These guys was something serious!!!!
Were.
The early 90's were Gregg's top years singing, IMO. Weathered but not burned out.
goddammit all to hell...these guys can tear a house DOWN!
Legends all !!!!!!
R.I.P. Allen
👍 DUANE BETTS ....AS OF NOW SOUNDS JUST LIKE HIS DAD, PLAY'S VERY CLOSE & SINGS LIKE DAD ... ALLMAN BROTHER BAND 4 EVER..,👌
With all due respect to Duane Betts, NOBODY sounds like Dickey Betts. He is a one-of-a-kind genius guitar player and song writer, one of the greatest who ever walked the earth.
To MCDAVID C . l agree & proud of Dicks Betts son. And of your
Aging is the great equalizer.
Warren and Woody !! The best line up Gregg ever had !!!
Lmao!! 1:24 ...Dickey is straight up pulling a drain!!! I LOVE THIS GUY!!
No shit... "It's not My Cross To Bear" came up on Pandora as we were pulling into the driveway..... I parked and didn't turn off the vehicle. When the intro was over I asked "How do you get any better than that?" and my 12 year old daughter responded "You don't".
2:45 music of the gods
So Bluesy Of course the Songs are just Truth RIP Duane Gregg and Dickey 🖤💙
Don't forget B.O.
Dickey is still alive!
Dickey is still alive! Thank God!
Southern white boy blues 2020...
I tried to be strong but it just isn't my cross to bear!
If I could play my guitar 1/1000th as well as Dickey I would be happy as hell. The original line-up can never be reproduced of course but The Brothers have carried the tradition on quite well.

Gregg is singing the hell out of this song here!!!
Berry Oakley played on the first two songs of the Brothers & Sisters album. Wasted Words and Ramblin Man. BO passed away November 11, 1972. Lamar Williams played bass on the rest of the album.
Peach on.
Warren Haynes is without a doubt the hardest workin man in showbiz.
