I just want to say that you have a very underrated TH-cam channel. You put out great content and your channel is becoming one of my favorites.
Here Here
Its awesome!! I love the way each story is told
Underrated indeed! Well said!
Yes I appreciate his work!
Not sure why this guy repeatedly refers to Berry as 'Raymond', since no one CALLED him that. Yes, I'm aware that his full name was Raymond Berry Oakley.
Thank you Mr. Lamont for visiting these graves and telling their stories. History is important!
Agree with you 🙏
My Prayers goes out
To those Passed
Away 🙏 RIP
Funny how funeral homes and cemetaries creep me out, but your channel is so respectful I feel very solemn and at peace as you explain the details. Your voice is perfect
RIP, MIDNIGHT RIDERS 💜💙🙏🙏
Yes,and such talent,I remember in 70s.when I was a kid.
LOVED The Allman Brothers Band.
"But I'm not gonna let'm catch me, no...
Not gonna let'm catch the Midnight Rider" ♥
So sad , one minute you’re up on stage with your best friends and siblings then you’re gone 😪
The road goes on forever.
I love the Allman brothers. Authentic southern rock music at its best. Just like Lynyrd Skynyrd and others. There won’t be bands like that anymore. Really sad because real country music and southern rock music are a thing of the past. Great thing is their music will live forever. 💖. May they Rest In Peace 🙏🏼
I love southern rock...and blues music. ♥
Too true
Yes,Allman brothers,and Our hard Skynard done great music.May they RIP.Hi,from,Morrow,GA.
Tedeschi Trucks Band, Marcus King Band specifically Goodbye Carolina album, Wood Brothers, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Umphreys Mcgee, Main Squeeze...some good music still happening!
So true.. Country and Southern Rock of today has deteriorated. I guess I miss the past a bit.
I was born and raised in Macon. We have tons of history connected to our city and have bred alot of other music greats such as Little Richard, Otis Redding, and James Brown who spent alot of time in Macon and recorded most of his hits. JB even mentioned Macon GA in a few of his recordings. Lena Horne also lived in Macon for a while as an adolescent. Thank you for visiting our wonderful city!
JB was actually from Augusta
Just completed our bucket list trip to Macon, a really great city, Big House, H&H for lunch, Capricorn, Rose Hill, Grant's Lounge,(hey Woody), friendly folks everwhere.Thank you Macon
Hey Lamont! You sometimes say ur not the greatest storyteller but ur amazing at it💖
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man,
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can.
And when it's time for leavin',
I hope you'll understand,
That I was born a ramblin' man.
Gregg was married to Cher..they have a child together..his name is Elijah Blue..
Yes but that song written and sung by Dickie Betts.
DICKIE BETTS IS VERY MUCH ALIVE.
One of favorite guitar hero songs to play!!!
Allman Brothers.. memories of a better day..thank you!Feel like I'm tied to the whipping post..
dang I'm sorry. life's a garden dig it? keep on keep in on. your a awesome person.
I'm a classic rock junkie. Grew up on the good stuff, late 60s, 70s and 80s rock, like Allman Brothers Band. Thanks.
Me too, best 🎶 music. We'll never have music like this again. Now half the music is fake junk.
Me too. 🎼🎸
Those times were the best of times n music 🎶💕 will never be same, too bad ❣️
Shirley Giordano Me too!
Me too!
I was named after an Allman Brothers song "Sweet Melissa"
My daughter Melissa too and Jennie from Dickie Betts song😇
Beautiful song....
"Melissa" from "Eat a Peach" and "Jessica" from "Brothers and Sisters" Both great songs and names.
@@JimDorman Funny thing is, they almost named me Jessica! I am glad they picked Melissa! Lol...You are right, both are great songs!
@@stevenwayneschneider7574 both great names, and songs! Its fun to have a reason why you were named!
The best music came from that era ..today’s music sucks
Amen
Today’s music sucks because there is no real talent. The music of 60s and 70s came from their souls. It’s from music of improvising not from note-to-note tabs.
Yes,your so right,And I remember Allman brothers back in the 70s.when I was a kid.
@Moon Shine 💯
SO TRUE!!!!
I lived for a while in Macon in the early 2000's. This is a revered site for the residents of Macon. Thank you for visiting there. Good luck and God protect you on your journeys.
So did I! From ‘97 to ‘07. And I lived on Walnut directly across from Rose Hill, next door to Otis Redding III! Those were fun times.
My hometown❤️❤️❤️ God bless
It's sad knowing that Duane and Berry had to wait almost 50 years for Gregg and Virgil to join them in the hereafter. I'm sure Derek Trucks and Dickie Betts will be laid to rest here when they pass as well.
Who is Virgil?
@@TheGuitarMan71 That's Butch Trucks' real name.
@@joshuabrooks4907 wow didn’t know. Thanks for telling me
Nice video, I didn’t know they were all buried together. You must do one on Ronnie Van Zandt from Lynyrd Skynyrd I heard there are multiple graves there if band members that died on plane crash years ago. Or best yet go to the actual crash site. You will garner a lot of hits in that one for sure because of the tragedy.
Ronnie Van Zant was moved to an undisclosed location at another cemetery after vandals broke into his grave and that of Steve and Cassie Gaines.
Yes my favorite band I think only 2 is still alive that is gary rossington and the drummer artimus Pyle
@@queenbee9326 you are right he was moved I read online they actually pulled his casket out of the ground they also vandalized steve gaines grave too sick freaks
Huge fan, my favorite band of the 70s. I have been to visit Duane and Barry numerous times. When I went, there wasn't any fencing around the site. I left a pick right on Duane's grave. With Gregg's passing I can see why the area needs to be secured. The road goes on forever, RIP
So sad and tragic r.i.p to these gentleman
Another tragic story is lynard skynard
Love it❤️❤️❤️, This may be my favourite vid you’ve done, but then again I’m of a particular age and appreciate real music.. Thanks for visiting them for me. ❤️and support from beautiful Canada 🇨🇦
You have a heart of gold, Lamont. It shines in all of your vlogs. Safe travels my friend. 👊
I attended Gregg Allmans funeral. Lots of celebs and spectators.
So
That's great, be proud of it, your a lcky one .🙏❤️🙏
My favorite song was Im No Angel! Thanks for the walk down memory lane Lamont!One of the best times of my life! Peace and Love to All
Lamar Williams played for the brothers he died in 1981 he was only 34 years old. However he is buried in Biloxi MS.
Next time i stop thru ill visit his grave
Great video brother what a great band they was
I had the privilege to see Gregg Allman's last concert in Atlanta. We lost a true Georgia boy. What a great musician and guy he was. I knew when I Gregg that he probably didn't have long time with us left. I still feel sad but blessed that I got to see him just one more time. Thanks Gregg you will always hold a special place in our hearts.💔🌹
@Harry Lime
With all due respect I think you're talking about Dickey , I believe that he is from Florida but as for as I'm concerned and the rest of the world , Dwayne and Gregg Allman were from Macon Georgia.
I used to live just across the street from Rose Hill, parallel to Duane and Berry’s graves...this was back before there was a barricade around them. What was crazy was that my neighbor was Otis Redding III. I do believe he still lives there. I felt like I was living in a nice little pocket of musical heritage...which, being a musician, myself, was pretty cool.
I was in Macon in 97. Long story short, I hitched hiked there from the north spent abut 6, 8, months. When I got there there was no fence around Duane and Berry. Around November, December, 97, there was a chain linked fence around them. Remember?
Remember a little guy named Ken who sold orogomy art downtown and had a Joe Dirt mullet? Rumor had it he knew 2 guys who got drunk and tore it down.
I ate fried fried chicken Mama Louise herself fried. I watched her do it. Remember Skip at the H&H? He was a grandson or something to Mama Louise. He fed me free when I was broke.
I have a ton of Macon stories for the short time I was there. I wrote a book on my life. Trying to get it published. O'Neille's still there? The Rookerey? What about the piano player who's dad was a doctor? Kid could play. I remember a Beaver and Bo from Macon. Tim owned a bar can't remember the name of it, across from a Mexican restaurant BIG dude named Scott, tripped A LOT!
I had a very trippy experience in Macon
Could you please tell me what part of town the cemetery is at? Back in 1975 and 1976 I lived on Vineville just west of downtown and the freeway. Also does anyone remember a bar called Grant's Lounge? I listened to a lot of good music in that place. When I was in Macon I worked at WCWB-TV Channel 41. I believe they long since changed their call letters. I think I remember something about a news story of Dickie Betts getting arrested one night for disturbing the peace by beating up garbage cans with a baseball bat. Memories from that time are sort of fuzzy but damn it was a good time to be young.
Rose Hill is off of Riverside just before you get to downtown. I only lived there in the late ‘90s through the early 2000’s, but I’m glad to have lived there when I was relatively young. A lot of fun nights out at the bars...and I lived on Cherry most of that time, so I never had to be tempted to drink and drive, lol.
@@soyburglar77 Who was the kid who always played piano at The Rookery? His dad was a doctor. He could play. Macon Ga was extremely surreal to me when I look back.
My parents named me after the song, Sweet Melissa.
Love that song!! You lucky girl
Isnt melissa a common name?
Awesome song. I hope you live up to it, lol. My sister named her son, Eli...if you remember the song, Eli's Comin' (Hide your heart, girl) by Three Dog Night.
@@Luis_Facil I was born in 1971. Melissa was 7th on the most popular list of names at the time. My parents were really into Southern Rock & just graduated from high school that year. When they were thinking of names they were probably hoping they would get a sweet baby girl whom they would name, Melissa. Lol While growing up I didn't come across to many girl's named, Melissa.
Cool
Born & raised in Macon, Georgia.
I spent so many days in Rose Hill as a teenager in the 90’s.
Still go as often as I can with my 2 daughters now.
In the 90’s Duane & Barry’s graves was where you hung out.
The Black Crows decided to for a band at those graves.
Then they put the fence up several years ago to discourage that.
Rose Hill Cemetery is beautiful.
It was designed to be as much a public park as it was a cemetery.
The 9 members of the Woolfolk family who were all killed with an axe, allegedly by the oldest son, in August 1887 by the oldest son.
There are a lot of beautiful, interesting monuments & tombstones throughout the cemetery.
I’m glad I got to see you do a video in my hometown.
This was cool.
I used to go there in the ‘90s to write, play guitar and do photography. We probably passed one another, lol.
The Allman Brother band is great road music! Traveling on the NE extension in PA to visit my brother in Bethlehem I would roar my Madza Rx-7 listening to "Blue sky"!!!!! Great memories. Wish I can relive them!
@@soyburglar77
It is quite possible.
"Live At The Filmore East" is the best memorial to the Allman Brothers.
Listen to "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" and "Mountain Jam", they were in another
league completely. Only The Who, Zappa, and King Crimson matched them onstage
for sheer technical virtuosity. Gone, never to be forgotten.
That was a good group. Thanks my friend. I was a teenager, in those days. May they Rest In Peace. Your so cool. Mr. Lamont. You do a good job at this. I’m a rambling man. Good tune. 🎼🎸✝️💟
I fell in love with your channel. Thank you for posting these, I’m addicted and binge watching you daily! Hugs, be safe.
My hometown, Macon, GA. Also home to Otis Redding and Little Richard. Thank you for your visit.
I used to live on Walnut just across from Rose Hill, next door to Otis III!
@@soyburglar77 I know exactly where you are talking about. I saw and spoke to Otis III at a Waffle House last year. Great family!
The enclosure is so nice. 100 years from now, let’s hope it looks the same. That was very costly to build.
I'm addicted to your channel, hands down best channel on TH-cam 🥇🏆
Yes!
Got all their autographs in 92 except Duane and Berry obviously. Saw them numerous times at Beacon Theatre and Jones Beach Theater.
Always a great time.
RIP.
lambjack1 NY LI ...in the house 🙌🏻
Lamont says he won’t come back to LI NY ... 😒
Thank you Lamont! This is a part of my youth that died May 27,2017. The likes of this kind of talent will never be seen again. I was fortunate enough to see them one time. Glad I was able to do so. RIP Gregg, Duane, Berry, and Butch.
Hi Lamont, I never knew the band I am in the UK so maybe that is why. Very tragic for them to die so young.
I'm from Macon and Rosehill Cemetery is a local historical attraction. People come from miles around just to visit, view and pay their respects.
The Allman Brothers had gotten some of their inspiration from Rose Hill Cemetery. There is a song named "Little Martha." Martha was an 11 year old girl, and her grave isn't very far away from the Allman Brothers graves.
Coolest cemetery I’ve ever visited. I used to go there to play guitar, write poetry, do photography and explore back in the ‘90s.
Thank you Lamont for uploading this video i enjoy watching all of your TH-cam videos and i also learn so much about the people who are buried
We missed a lot of great music! Heavens band must be awesome!
Thanks LaL for making this stop, as always a great video!
Love The Allman Brothers. Rock In Peace Skydog and Coyotus Maximus.
And Rock In Peace to Trucks and Berry
FIRST!!!
#NOTIFICATIONGANG
Keep up the great work brotha 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love the Allman brothers. They are a great classic band. Very sad the 2 members were only 24 .
Was born in the the early 90's but I sure do love the earlier music and was a fan of the Allman Brothers music rip to these men ❤🎶🎙.
Thank you for sharing your visit Lamont. Tha Allman Brothers and bands of that era feed my soul to get me through this old world. "Laid Back" and "Live at the Fillmore" are certainly in my top ten list. Thanks and stay well !
Thank you for visiting, and making a video at the Allman brothers band graves. I look forward to paying homage myself in the next year. 💕
You amaze me!! I look forward to your videos
Definitely one of my favorite bands
When you told their ages, it broke my heart. So young. Every person’s story is worth being told and you do it so well. Thank you, Lamont.
Glad you got a chance to visit Rose Hill! I went to school in Macon and used to visit the Cemetery. Back then, Duane Allman and Berry Oakley’s grave were secluded and didn’t have the fence. I think the family got tired of people leaving beers and stuffing joints into the headstones and increased security. The grave of Elizabeth Reed is around there, the inspiration for the Allman’s song “In memory of Elizabeth Reed”. The song’s background story that I heard is...interesting. If you have the chance, stop by the H&H restaurant downtown next to the old Capricorn Records building. Mama Louise took a chance and fed some long haired kids and the rest is history. The food is good there.
My husband is a HUGE Allman Brothers band. If we would’ve had a girl (two sons!), she would’ve been named Melissa for sure! RIP guys. TY for your talent. ♥️😢🎤🌹♥️
Thank you for sharing. Just thinking about Cher having a son with Greg. Stay safe
Cher had a daughter who used medical intervention to turn into a fake man
Horsein wow let me guess your a Christian??, I’m guessing because they’re the most judgemental, fake religious god seekers that need moral intervention. Was I right?, Christian🙏
Lisa Hernandez. Yes Elijah Blue Alman. Looks like his dad plays the blues.. Thank you for being kind❤️
@@peridoteyes3728 I'm just calling it like it is.
@@Horsein A fake man? Chaz is more MAN THAN YOU
In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed
What a tragic destiny .. it’s a very quiet beautiful cemetery, I saw a same video on the vlog of daze with Jordan the lion (he was lucky and found the gate open when do the video) you can see and listen the train that pass near, it have a something of particular, I don’t remember a lot of protection around the graves, not a lot like this, probably the family put it a little more
I grew up listening to the Allman Brothers.
Through all the drugs, alcohol and drama they left a powerful legacy.
I bet they’re jamming right now in heaven with Butch killing it on drums.
My hometown, that’s hallowed ground in macon.
One of my favorite albums of all time is “Just Before the Bullets Fly”. It was a sad day when these men died.
Lamont you are hands down my favorite youtuber! Thank you for keeping the memory alive of the dearly departed. Love you Lamont❤
Now all you have to do is find the grave of Elizabeth Reed. If that is the graveyard they hung out in, she probably buried there too.
The story goes that they just finished writing the song while smoking some pot, needed a title for the song, looked down and noticed they were standing in by a grave that read: In Memory of Elizabeth Reed and a song was born.
I was born and raised in Macon, Georgia.
I thank you so much for visiting the graveyards. I love the Allmqn Brothers, and their graves, together, are as amazing as they are.
I enjoy qnd appreciate your channel.
Lamont I so look forward to seeing your videos everyday. It brings a sense of stability to my life. Ive seen so much from you that i otherwise would never have seen.
Not far from their grave on the other side is the grave of Elizabeth Reed they wrote a song about her and that is where they would party in the cemetery, they also did a photo for their album cover on those tracks near the grave, you walked by the tracks to get to their grave
Lamont, you are very unique. Love your channel!
I've met Michael Allman, the eldest son of Gregg Allman! He lives in New Port Richey, Florida and a couple years ago he came to one of my gigs up there!
Come to Seattle to check out Bruce and Brandon Lee and Jimmy Hendrix
L M I think he’s been to The Lee’s graves, if I’m not mistaken...
It's been done over done
Jimi Hendrix
I live down the street from Jimi's
Fuk Seattle
R.I.P. Dear Ones! I'm reminded of one of my favorite songs, "Ain't My Cross to Bear."
One of my favorite bands. They're buried in my home state, too!
Thanks for this one, Lamont. Beautiful.
Although a different type of rock I also give a shout out to Eddie Van Halen rest in peace brother fantastic Life concert I got to see with them just amazing amazing guitar work of course I love the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd
Too young... RIP
I was they're limo driver in Phila at the old Spectrum in 1972. That was a great night. After the concert they sent a decoy limo out first from the underground parking area to divert the hugh crowd. Then I drove out with no problem.
I can vouch for Lamont at large he definitely read the comments. Busy as he is by traveling to the graves of the people who we admired in life. Then he upload the video, all of which takes lots of time. He reads the comments and reply to them also. Lamont you're awesome dude, and we thank you for everything that you do for us. You bring the best stories to. You have gotten us through this pandemic. And for that we love you. Stay safe and careful 😉❤️🙏
Thank you Lamont. Once again another great video.
The house that they own down the street from the cemetery
Daunes slide guitar on Dreams is incredible.
Saw them with Daune in 71' at the Fillmore West, San Francisco, California, my favorite show 2 this day. 👍✌
Dude, he goes by Berry, not Raymond. Please, respect. Elizabeth Reed is buried there too. Her headstone was the inspiration for "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" which is one of The Allman Brother's most popular songs. 😉👍
You definitely know how to get around and do so many wonderful vlogs.. May God always be with you Lamont on the awesome journeys you take us on!.❤👍
Thank you. One of My favorite Gregg Allman tunes is from the movie soundtrack Next Of Kin ; the song “Brother to Brother” duet with Lori Yates is really great.
In the last 10 ,15 years improvements have been made. Look at old pictures from 70's 80s of the graves.
The Allman Brothers is my favorite rock band. I've seen them live in concert several times.
I've got to run to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
I've got one more silver dollar
And I'm not gonna let them catch me no, not gonna catch the midnight rider.. mrffmr
Love that song since i was a little boy
Yes finally!!!! I’m a huge Allman Brothers fan 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yeah Blondie you're the best
I first saw one of your videos a year or so ago, and to be honest, I was not interested in seeing another.
The Allman Brothers are a huge part of my life. Somehow this video popped up, and you’ve gained another follower. Nice job!
Last time I was there about 20 years ago with my brother there was only Duane and Berry. I see they've added that whole brick and concrete structure with railing and steps making it easier to find because that's a big cemetery. You get a very humbling experience on this trip like how delicate and precious your life is. You need to get going and do what you want to do. And there is an inscription on Duane's grave. It's like a life code he stood by.
One of the bands that were very close with them and did a lot of cool s*** with them in the past was the Grateful Dead

Barry Oakley's sister was the one who had the fence put around the graves.
I remember a time before there was a fence!
It’s really nice!!!
Thanks for sharing that info. Those 2 guys were only 24! Didn't know that...the band sure had its share of tragedy.
Thank you so much for sharing this video.
What a legacy they left. I'm afraid we will never see the likes of bands of this magnitude again. A Powerful and epic part of American History they have become.
So glad I have lived through those amazing years!!
Lamont, I’m very glad that I found your videos. I actually like to look around at cemeteries myself. I just have not really went out of state to do it very much. I love to know other people’s histories, I think that’s why I like it so much. I have been trying to think of some that would be very interesting to see, and hopefully not ones that you have already been to see.
You may have already did a video on this before, but since it is close to Halloween, have you ever considered going to find the DeFeo family that helped inspire the Amityville house? Is. There an email where we can send you ideas?
Wow they redone the plot. When Greg died he was actually outside Duane's fenced in grave. There was Duane and one other grave. Looks great now. The stairs went inbetween Greg and Duane. I was there about 3 months after Greg had died.
The Allman Brothers were awesome. My older sister used to ask the local radio station to play "Melissa" for me when I was younger. Beautiful site, and a great video by you Lamont. I was wondering what the other small stone was for that was on an angle in front of Raymond's grave.
Wow great documentary. Your video quality is awesome . I always look forward to your blog tours .. but I especially loved this one. Beautiful 💯
Lovely cemetery. Visited many years ago before the fence. Thank you!
Well did you go and visit micheal Jackson grave site in California ✝️☮️
Midnight Rider, just like you sir.. great great tune..
Great upload brother! Thanks so much for filming and narrating going to have to swing by there now
Saw them in 1988 at the old Spectrum in Philly, Gregg and Dicky Betts, front and center. Incredible show. Named my younger son Greg! Thanks for this one, Lamont. Brought back great memories of my late husband. He loved them! ☮️❤️
Thanks for the visit, Allman Bros. will live on 4ever! Peace.
