RIP Duane Allman (November 20, 1946 - October 29, 1971), aged 24 And RIP Gregg Allman (December 8, 1947 - May 27, 2017), aged 69 You both will always be remembered as legends.
Duane was such an amazing talent and it was such a tragedy to loose him so young. I was fortunate enough to have been born and raised in Macon Georgia and was able to see Duane and Gregg and the original Allman Brothers Band when they were first getting started and playing pop up shows all around town. Duane, Berry, Butch and Gregg may the Brothers rest in peace.
Been listening to the brothers since I was 11 I remember my brother telling me about Duane getting killed in the motorcycle accident my brother had tears in his eye's and kept saying I can't believe this I thought Duane was Kin folk
Duane absolutely lived to play guitar. The best studio guitarist ever. He would play any style. His jazz guitar on Herbie Mann's 1971 Push Push , will melt your face. I passed that album to my son for his vinyl collection. .
That Hey Jude rendition with Wilson Pickett literally made the hair stand up on my neck. Can someone send me back to the 70’s when we had talented musicians.
You know that's the one thing Gregg cherished more than anything; the memories he had of and with his big brother, Duane. Rest in Eternal Peace, Skydog. Rest in Peace, Gregg. We miss you!
Muscle Shoals is easily one of the greatest music documentaries ever made. If you haven't seen it you're missing out on so much history that's sure to blow your mind!!
I’ve watched it now to many times to count. I was a young man when Patches was on the radios all over. I can remember many songs I listens to were recorded at Muscle Shoals .. maybe the building wasn’t much on the outside… what came out of it was some of very best music ever recorded on tape and pressed onto vinyl records. The recording engineer and owner such a demanding perfectionist. Just listen to those recordings today to me they are history to the ear, beautiful music, great players, amazing music and song writers.
@@gregj.gotham4402 It definitely had some magic going on inside the studio there. And the owner/engineer being a perfectionist was likely a good thing for the music though ultimately if I remember correctly...the Swampers or at least some of them eventually left cause of his demeanor and perfectionist ways. But like Motown and Stax... it's hard to find any clunkers that were recorded at Muscle shoals.
I work in the movie union in Atlanta, That was so devastating with all of the law suits , I grew up with the Bros, I don't know what will become of it, It is needed,
Here's a heartfelt quote for the intro to the movie & maybe even the ending... ''There are Artists who can wrest us up, & place us into Themselves. Now These, are the 'One's' who continue to wrest us up... Even beyond Their wrests in peace.'' -gilpin 11919
I am proudly from The South and the Allman Brothers Band was the greatest band ever to come out of the South. Let us not forget other Southerners which include Southern blues, Janis Joplin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Vaughn and the the list goes on forever.
I watched this special on PBS on Muscle Shoals...It's a couple of hours long...it sure fills in a lot of missing musical gaps in modern music...The Swampers... Who woulda thunk... northern Alabama...
And the Swampers. Believe it or not neither Duane or Gregg were one man bands. Take Boz Scaggs recording of Loan Me A Dime in Sheffield, Alabama. Duane was great but Eddie Hinton was right on his back! He really pushed Duane hard during that jam. The song wouldn't have been nearly as good without him. Boz credited the great Drummer, Roger Hawkins for making that song great! He took the lead and Duane and the other greats followed his lead into history. They were all just killing it! The Studio was so small, they had to put Duane and his guitar and amp in the toilet! Imagine that! 😆
I was fortunate to meet Gregg after a concert in Rochester, NY back in 2016. He had been working on his last album "Southern Blood" at Muscle Shoals. We were talking about mostly small stuff, when out of nowhere he said, "My brother should have never left Muscle Shoals!" It gave me chills! RIP Gregg and Duane!
Southern rock was such a cool genre of music back in the day....probably never to be repeated but at least the music survived even though most who created it didn't
Jerry Wexler said of the Wicked Pickett that whereas most soul singers screamed off-pitch and in a non-musical manner, even Pickett's screams were musical and on-pitch. The Wicked One always had smoking hot session players on his recordings, including guitarists like Bobby Womack, Joe South, Steve Cropper, Jimmy Johnson, Duane Allman and later in Philly, Norman Chambers. Like all the greatest soul singers, Wilson Pickett brought out the best in those around him. The cats always played better on his sessions. I didn't get a chance to see Wilson in his prime, but even near the end of his life he was still a heck of a singer and a wonderful entertainer.
Just went down to Mushel Shoals. About a month ago. A must thing do, dance with my wife by the front door of the studio. Dewayne Allman & Otis Redden, Hey Jude, on you tube, made a good memory !!!
Wow I loved this. gave me goosebumps at the end! pretty cool story. funny too about the horse incident and ever so sweet about that pill bottle. Celebrating your lives catching up reading and watching and of course listening to any footage out there. Such genuine raw talent. that has to feel awesome to have been so young, and able to play and perform straight from the soul. Live on in our lives Allman Brothers! But may you Rest peacefully reunited. ❤
I came into the Brothers about a year after Duanes accident; thus he took on a kinda mythological aspect to me! The ABB moved me like no others before or since! I saw them on their tour that supported their ‘Enlightened Rouges’ LP It was like being in a great Church Service! It still makes me super sad that the split with Dickie was never resolved before Gregg joined Duane in Heaven. It would have been so great to see Dickie Betts jamming with the Brothers one last time!! RIP to Duane, Gregg, Barry and Butch...
In an interview with Dan Rather, Dickie said they had made amends and they, at the time got along. Now I don't know if they ever played together again, but at least they were getting along at the time of Greg's death...
The story goes that when Clapton first heard the great soul singer Wilson Pickett's Hey Jude and the guitar in it , He called the radio station and said that kind of guitar playing was great for soul music . Eric did his calling and searching here and there to find out who the guitar player was . And that was the beginning and way too short collaboration on the sessions and a few of the songs with clapton and allman both playing on the Layla album . The eponymous song Layla would have never been a classic without Duane imho . it was so sad that Duane's life was cut so short something like only a month after he worked with clapton and the Dominos band . Bobby Whitlock was an essential component too . His singing and piano playing did much for the Layla album .
Clapton has always been the kind of musician who takes inspiration from the other musicians around him. Long-time crony and side-man, the legendary Albert Lee, has said that. Sometimes, you couldn't get E.C. up for a performance unless you started "cutting him" -musician slang for trying to show him up on stage - which would get his attention. Duane Allman motivated and inspired Clapton like no one before or since has done. What's that saying? "Twin brothers from different mothers"? That was them.
Thanks for the correction, but can you describe "straight" blues? I'm familiar with the sounds of Delta, electric, hillbilly, West coast, and Chicago styles of blues. But i don't know what straight blues is like.
Gotchyer 6 yeah Duane Allman was great it was a sad day when we lost him and we also must remember Berry Oakley and I believe recently of heard that Butch trucks passed away
You are right, but in all candor, Gregg absolutely hated the term "Southern Rock" - He never liked to be called a Southern Rocker and didn't believe in regional terms.
There always seems to something special and different about a MS story. Imagine a guitarist the calibre of Duane Allman turning up at your out-of-the-way studio. My spine still tingles when I hear his opening phrases to "The Weight". The same goes for Wilson Pickett's tigerish version of "Hey Jude" plus Duane Allman's crystal clear instrumentation.
I remember the first time I saw the Allman Brothers was at Middle Tennessee State University sometime in early 1971. I had just gotten out of Navy boot camp and was home on leave, so some friends and I went. The Allman Brothers were not the first band to play if I remember right, there was Paul Revere and the Raiders plus some other band of similar fame. Here is the part I will never forget, TABB came out played a couple of songs then either it was Duane or maybe Gregg stepped up to the mic and said "You might have noticed we're not a show band, we just play music" that one statement brought the house down. I will never forget it.
@@wvufreak56 If you haven't seen it, watch "The Swampers" about making music at Fame Studio at Muscle Shoals. Shows greats like Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin (before she was big).
I could listen to Duane play for the rest of my life ! I sure I hope i continues when I've gone to music Heaven ! Now THAT would be a hereafter of note !
That slide story is in Gregg's autobiography, which is a great book. I own of those original coricidin bottles, got it in a coin collection I bought, it was full of old silver dimes. The reason the coricidin bottle is so much better than any slide that's on the market today, in my opinion, is that the glass is so thin you can feel the strings. I know it's hard to believe but if you can find an original bottle, it's only 2 1/8th inches tall and has a plastic pop on top, play whatever you use for slide first then try the pill bottle. The sound is also very warm. You can find them at flea markets if you're lucky or on eBay if you don't mind paying up to $100 for a real one. The later ones with the screw on tops are different, don't sound the same and they are thicker glass (now that I think of it those are probably the older ones). Great video, I'm gonna have to find the entire documentary now. Oh, and why hasn't there been a Muscle Shoals movie yet?
I went to work for Schering-Plough in 1978 as a pharmaceutical salesman and Coricidin was one of our major products. At that time ,the Ploughing division was in Memphis. Great story,ty
thanks for the upload.Awesome documentary,saw on Netflix many times...Muscle Shoals gave us so much music.It's a wide spot in the road and the greatest that ever played ,played there.Oh the music..grinning through tears right now.I would not trade one second of my age to be younger and have missed this music in real time,when it was released...,not for all the world!!ONLY MUSIC NOW BEING RADIO PLAYED WORTH LISTENING TO IS ON npr STATIONS
Sudden tragedy is so hard to reconcile. A whole heep of what ifs. An endless pit of why's. You feel like a family member through the music. It touches us so deeply. We can speculate til our last breath. I think instead I'll celebrate the life. Let the tragedy R.I.P.
and that's how the cordicen bottle started. a friend of mine who was listed as one of the top ten guitarist in guitar player magazine some years back used one for ever. His name is roger hoard. he toured with jim Satfford many years ago but doesn't like the road life. He sits here at home and works in a music store and plays every where all the time solo and with bands. Check him out Roger Hoard. He also taught Brad Paisley a helluva alot here as Brad grew up playing on a live radio show here in Wheeling WV where I have worked for over 40 years as just about everything and still do. the radio show was shut down and sold off by Live Nation and has been reborn by a fellow named Dave Heath. We were second only to the Grand Ole Opry. we would have a headliner and the first half of the show show cased local talents.
I met Gregg in Daytona Bch at Mac’s Famous Bar in 1978. He sat down next to me at the bar before he went on stage. High as a kite. I was just a kid myself and didnt really know who he was. Once he started playing I knew and he was great!
The shame of a loss like Duanne Allman is the question of what would we be hearing if he hadn't left us. What about Hendrix? Jim Morrison? Even John Lennon....what music would have been created if we still had them here? I am an Allman Brothers fan from when I was 13 years old (1972). Duanne was already gone. Sorry I missed you brother. I still hear your memory every time I listen to Statesboro Blues.
David Lyle I probably don't have to tell you check out Tedeschi Trucks they rock pretty good too! Of course there's some pretty strong roots to the ABB. Up in the mitten we have a saying that the Apple don't fall far from the tree. Course Derek Truck being of ABB royalty and all. It's easy to see where some of his talent came from. He just keeps getting better with age and new acquaintances.
Might I add the Temperance Movement from the UK. Phil Campbell, lead vocalist, has the "it " factor when delivering a song. They toured be with Blackberry Smoke a few years ago.
MsMcmoe Wow where did you hear that? It blows me away what you said and that his time was nigh. Forever rest in peace Gregg Allman. He's with his Brother now and all the rest of 'em. We'll never forget.
HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN A BETTER GUITAR PLAYER THAN DUANE ALLMAN, I FUCKING DOUBT IT HE IS THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER I WAS FORTUNATE TO SEE LIVE AT THE FILLMORE EAST. I WAS AMAZED AT HIS PLAYING, AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER GUITAR PLAYER AS GOOD AS DUANE. HE HAS BEEN GONE FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS AND NO ONE HAS MATCHED OR BEEN BETTER, DEREK TRUCKS EAT YOUR HEART OUT.
RIP Duane Allman (November 20, 1946 - October 29, 1971), aged 24
And
RIP Gregg Allman (December 8, 1947 - May 27, 2017), aged 69
You both will always be remembered as legends.

@@Davidsmith-uu4blBless her heart…
I saw the in Charleston SC 1970
When Gregg says "I still got that bottle somehow". A brother's love! RIP brothers!❤
Agreed!!
Gregg was a icon and a musical genius, like his brother Duane!! Rest Easy Gregory. I love you ♥️
I could listen to Gregg's stories all day long. He was my hero and I believe he was a good man as well as a fantastic musician. R.I.P MR ALLMAN.
Duane absolutely lived to play guitar. The best studio guitarist ever. He would play any style. His jazz guitar on Herbie Mann's 1971 Push Push , will melt your face. I passed that album to my son for his vinyl collection. .
Amen
Don’t think we will ever see another band as good as the Allman Brothers. Sad for everyone who appreciates and enjoys good music.
That Hey Jude rendition with Wilson Pickett literally made the hair stand up on my neck. Can someone send me back to the 70’s when we had talented musicians.
I really badly miss the 70s
Rest in peace Gregg......a legend....your music is etched into my mind and will remain forever in my soul....
All the sudden....there was Southern Rock!
Damn Right!🎸
Travelled from Australia to visit Muscle Shoals ; great little town, wonderful people and the Tenn' river sparkling and beautiful.
You know that's the one thing Gregg cherished more than anything; the memories he had of and with his big brother, Duane. Rest in Eternal Peace, Skydog. Rest in Peace, Gregg. We miss you!
The Muscle Shoals sound is something I was turned onto 30 something years ago, and still it chills me.
Muscle Shoals is easily one of the greatest music documentaries ever made. If you haven't seen it you're missing out on so much history that's sure to blow your mind!!
That’s for sure I’ve seen it many times it’s that good
@@flstffatboy3910 Right... it's so good you really can't turn away from it. It's like finding a buried treasure every time you see it.
I’ve watched it now to many times to count. I was a young man when Patches was on the radios all over.

Amen to that brothu
I can't believe the Allman Brother's story hasn't been made into a movie. It's an incredible story, starting from the death of their father.
It was going to be a movie with William Hurt as Gregg Allman called Midnight Rider and tragedy struck the making of it. Very sad.
Debra Palmer I know I wonder if there might be plans to revive it
I work in the movie union in Atlanta, That was so devastating with all of the law suits , I grew up with the Bros, I don't know what will become of it, It is needed,
Here's a heartfelt quote for the intro to the movie & maybe even the ending...

I was just thinking this same exact thing last night!
I am proudly from The South and the Allman Brothers Band was the greatest band ever to come out of the South. Let us not forget other Southerners which include Southern blues, Janis Joplin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Vaughn and the the list goes on forever.
Everybody that loves music..music from the 60s and 70s...should know and learn about Muscle Shoals....thank you for sharing this
I watched this special on PBS on Muscle Shoals...It's a couple of hours long...it sure fills in a lot of missing musical gaps in modern music...The Swampers... Who woulda thunk... northern Alabama...
RIP Gregg ......You and Duane are together again..God Bless you both..Thank you for the MUSIC!!
That is so true!
They all were so humble in their lives.
With such great and amazing abilities
****** REST IN PEACE*******
Berry and Butch too ...
Two of the greatest , Duane and Gregg Allman .
Anyone who hasn't seen this movie should watch it Truly amazing video for anyone who loves music
"He dumped out the bottle of pills and was killin it".......OMG - LMAO at that one. Playing slide with a pill bottle. Guy was so great.
That's what many blues legends used way back. Nothing new.
I am eternally grateful to my Dad for turning me onto Duane Allman. Nobody beats Duane in my world. This is a great video. Thanks for posting it!
Southern rock! What a gift to music lovers!
My Wife is from Mussel Shoals. Drove by Fame every day! Gotta love the hit recording capital!
And dont forget the Swampers
Wow. This is a Please Don't Stop video.
Thank you.
I love Pickett’s version of Hey Jude and never knew it was all Duane’s idea and fantastic guitar playing.
'On the shoulders of GIANTS'
Southern Rock was founded on the shoulders of one giant named Duane Allman. Thank you, Brother Duane. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And the Swampers. Believe it or not neither Duane or Gregg were one man bands. Take Boz Scaggs recording of Loan Me A Dime in Sheffield, Alabama.

the guy had the TOUCH !! along with general great musical sensibilities , R.I.P. Duane AND "baybrah" !!!!
Southern rock was such a cool genre of music back in the day....probably never to be repeated but at least the music survived even though most who created it didn't
Don’t forget Wilson Pickett! Hell of a singer!! The Wicked Pickett is one of the best albums I’ve ever heard and I got a lot...
Jerry Wexler said of the Wicked Pickett that whereas most soul singers screamed off-pitch and in a non-musical manner, even Pickett's screams were musical and on-pitch.

This is a really nice piece about Duane Allman. A treasure,and a master of that slide.

They've been known for a song or two
Lord, they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Rest in peace Gregg and Duane. I love you guys
I find it sad to watch any interview with Gregg these days. Such a talented man. Others
will come along but no one replaces the greats.
Gregg and Duane....how lucky we are......thank you.

motor scooters and old airlplanes almost wiped southern rock before it got started.
Yes! Yes they certainly did! Lol! That's a funny way of putting it lol 😆😆😆!
And a shod horse apparently.
And don't forget helicopters. Those flying machines are inherently dangerous like motorcycles
Happy 75th birthday Dickie Betts - 12/12/2018. Take care of yourself. You and Jaimo are all that's left for us.
Gregg hated the phrase "Southern Rock" he considered it to fall under the BLUES umbrella
The Allman Bro's are definitely not Southern Rock.. straight blues.
Thanks for the correction, but can you describe "straight" blues? I'm familiar with the sounds of Delta, electric, hillbilly, West coast, and Chicago styles of blues. But i don't know what straight blues is like.

My first concert was the Allman Bro's Band in Mobile Alabama.
That slide story is in Gregg's autobiography, which is a great book. I own of those original coricidin bottles, got it in a coin collection I bought, it was full of old silver dimes. The reason the coricidin bottle is so much better than any slide that's on the market today, in my opinion, is that the glass is so thin you can feel the strings. I know it's hard to believe but if you can find an original bottle, it's only 2 1/8th inches tall and has a plastic pop on top, play whatever you use for slide first then try the pill bottle. The sound is also very warm. You can find them at flea markets if you're lucky or on eBay if you don't mind paying up to $100 for a real one.

The best guitarist of all time. Period.
There are as many great guitarrists as Hot Girls
@1banana2kiwis you are ANNOYING. you don't get to speak for Duane ..
@@TheGreatAlan75 It's objectly true though. Music is subjective, there can't be an objectively best player.
Dicky Betts was the one of the best lead Guitarist ever. Everybody knows that except Allman Brothers lovers.
RIP we miss you so much. Thanks for the beautiful memories that we have! They don't come like this that often.
Gregg put the record and the bottle by the door knocked and ran . Typical brothers
Joe Frugoli ... I too got a kick out of that! Too funny! Thank you Duane Allman!

Watch the whole documentary! the best music doc ever!
Being 69 this still blows me away. I feel very privileged to have heard them
This gave me goosebumps...man...
The Southern sound
This is the rock and roll version of cinderella. The slide fit!
Love living in muscle shoals living right up the road from the Alabama music hall of fame
I suggest you all read "One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band"....amazing history of the band.
and that's how the cordicen bottle started. a friend of mine who was listed as one of the top ten guitarist in guitar player magazine some years back used one for ever. His name is roger hoard. he toured with jim Satfford many years ago but doesn't like the road life. He sits here at home and works in a music store and plays every where all the time solo and with bands. Check him out Roger Hoard. He also taught Brad Paisley a helluva alot here as Brad grew up playing on a live radio show here in Wheeling WV where I have worked for over 40 years as just about everything and still do. the radio show was shut down and sold off by Live Nation and has been reborn by a fellow named Dave Heath. We were second only to the Grand Ole Opry. we would have a headliner and the first half of the show show cased local talents.
This segment of the doc Muscle Shoals turned me on to Duane Allman even more so.

Thanks Jimmy Gayner, I loved it! Rock on!
History is amazing...
Education for the soul!
Hi Jimmy !!!! The right place that was. The right tunes
way too cool of a story, but somehow it's fitting that Duane Allman started southern rock. It's got his initials all over it.
I met Gregg in Daytona Bch at Mac’s Famous Bar in 1978. He sat down next to me at the bar before he went on stage. High as a kite. I was just a kid myself and didnt really know who he was. Once he started playing I knew and he was great!
Duane: best guitar player ever, PLUS a little Producer work. Wilson and "Hey Jude"???!!! "Exactly".
Never ever forget...GREGG wrote it all.Music and Lyrics.
The shame of a loss like Duanne Allman is the question of what would we be hearing if he hadn't left us. What about Hendrix? Jim Morrison? Even John Lennon....what music would have been created if we still had them here? I am an Allman Brothers fan from when I was 13 years old (1972). Duanne was already gone. Sorry I missed you brother. I still hear your memory every time I listen to Statesboro Blues.
WOW!, interesting, Gregg kept pill bottle, Duane used for slide. Love THEM. Love& Peace
For all you southern rock fans check out BlackBerry smoke. They are reviving and saving old school rock and roll!
David Lyle I probably don't have to tell you check out Tedeschi Trucks they rock pretty good too! Of course there's some pretty strong roots to the ABB. Up in the mitten we have a saying that the Apple don't fall far from the tree. Course Derek Truck being of ABB royalty and all. It's easy to see where some of his talent came from. He just keeps getting better with age and new acquaintances.

Gettin’ smoked!
Might I add the Temperance Movement from the UK. Phil Campbell, lead vocalist, has the "it " factor when delivering a song. They toured be with Blackberry Smoke a few years ago.
I heard this morning that Gregg Allman is not feeling well, hope he gets better soon.
We are loosing too many of our musicians....
MsMcmoe Wow where did you hear that? It blows me away what you said and that his time was nigh. Forever rest in peace Gregg Allman. He's with his Brother now and all the rest of 'em. We'll never forget.
I love you so much for posting this clip. You're a fkn rockstar. Thank you Jesus!
HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN A BETTER GUITAR PLAYER THAN DUANE ALLMAN, I FUCKING DOUBT IT HE IS THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER I WAS FORTUNATE TO SEE LIVE AT THE FILLMORE EAST. I WAS AMAZED AT HIS PLAYING, AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER GUITAR PLAYER AS GOOD AS DUANE. HE HAS BEEN GONE FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS AND NO ONE HAS MATCHED OR BEEN BETTER, DEREK TRUCKS EAT YOUR HEART OUT.
