Got nothing against The Stones. I like The Stones. But the music & words that have resonated with me through all the stages, ages, parties and hard times of my life are those of the Allman Bros & Gregg Allmann
I feel the same way. Though I could never, ever endure Mick Jagger's "blues" voice, I respect their long-running appeal to the English speaking world, but for me, since I was 16 in 1969/1970 and their first album came out, it's been the Allman Brothers. The original 6 are still my favorite band.....and now I'll add the Tedeschi Trucks Band in there.
@Keith Cousins I used to live in Atlanta and have been to Rose Hill cemetery several times. I haven't been since Gregg died but yes sir, I have made the pilgrimage to the Graves of Duane and Berry. When you're young, a certain kind of music, the kind that you bond with, goes straight to your soul. The original 6 Allman Brothers music went to my soul and has stayed there all these years. Take care. If I don't see you on this side of the "river" I'll see you on the other side and we'll see the original 6 play again!
I can listen to the Allman Brothers anytime over the Stones. For some reason I guess I just never have figured the Stones out, I mean I like them ok, but only really like a handful of songs and can take or leave the rest while I really dig the Allman Brothers music.
The Stones are Rock & Roll!! The Allman Bros are ALL music. R+B, R+R, Blues, & Soul all wrapped up in One Fantastic band. ABB always hits my soul ❤ Their music is FOREVER and FAMILIAR, like meeting up with old friends. You pick up right where you left off. Put on LIVE at Filmore East and seems like time stood still. 50 (plus) years later and it STILL Kills! Their music is TIMELESS, AGELESS. Fine as wine...even better with Age✌🏼🥂
I still vividly remember the first time I heard "Whipping Post" from the "Live at the Fillmore East" album. The world around me disappeared and it was just me and the music coming out those speakers. I had never heard a sound like that. I know my opinion doesn't mean anything but the Allman Brothers don't get enough credit for how incredible they were.
I can still hear the sadness in his voice..I can still see his facial features soften when he speaks of his brother ..let's not forget how close these 2 legends were in age and in their personal lives ..can you imagine how hard a pill that was to swallow ..bitter at best .may they both as well as Berry Oakley rest in Peace....💙✌😎🎵
we just had our annual Skydog festival the other day here in Macon Georgia! I recommend everyone come visit the Allman Brothers Big House museum! RIP brother & PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS!
Mine I've been busy since Pandora was out for 1 year old then I came and got involved in music. Information all about artists that died. Or to presamt . Example TONY JOE WHITE.
For me Gregg was one of the greatest blue eyed R&B , blues singers that there ever was. Miss his presence but he left a great legacy and the body of his work is to be treasured. If any fan has a opportunity to visit Macon Ga. visit The Big House and pay your respects to the Brothers at Rosehill Cemetery.
My brother died in an automobile accident in 1971, 5 months before Duane died. Sometimes it seems like so long ago, other times like yesterday. He was 2 and 1/2 years younger than me. Hugs Greg, losing a sibling is so hard.
One of the most sorry and soulful performer’s. This guy embodies the very spirit of a blues man. He spent his life mourning the loss of his big brother. Through his music he showed us all the pain he was in. I grew up listening to The Allman Brothers Band. I will for the rest of my life have a tear in my eye for that man. That tear has been in my eye since the day I shook his hand way back at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park NJ, way back in the late 80’s.
What's very cool about Duane is that he kept doing sessions even after The ABB was fully active, off and running. John Hammond - Southern Fried -- at Muscle Shoals. Ronnie Hawkins at Muscle Shoals-Cotillion. Ronnie Hawkins w/ the Dixie Flyers- Cotillion.
That must’ve been hell, having your brother and best friend die and then your other best friend dies the same exact way a year later, and then still getting the courage to keep on making music. If Berry and Duane didn’t die they would’ve been maybe the best band ever.
I saw the original configuration at the famous Fillmore East show that is on record and video. Duane was simply one of the best guitar players I ever saw, and this is at a time when there were quite a few great ones
When I am at my worse, my absolute worse, when I am near that edge, with the abyss in front of me...I play the Allman Brothers. Their music reaches deep within me, somehow pulls me back to safety.
Saw them live in 93 with the Horde festival. STILL the best performance and concert I've ever been to!! MAN, did they bring it, that evening! Nothing like sitting outside in the lawn seats on a beautiful summer afternoon, listening to Dickey sing "Blue Sky". Gregg will always be my favorite singer. The only band to ever come close to blowing me away like that was Radiohead.
Those early years were part of my youth such fantastic music and musicians. I once heard an interview with Dickey Betts and he stated that Live at the Fillmore East there is not one overdub in the whole album. Phenomenal! Who could do that today?
First heard about the Allman Brothers in a Stereo Review record review. The writer summarized with "the Allman Brothers may not play the blues the traditional way but they play the way I want to hear it."...
Remember watching this interview when it originally aired, IMO, next to Muddy Waters, the greatest blues singer of all time. All of the good people seem to pass away too early.
And now they are together again. If heaven is a real place, the music being made up there with music icons who have left this earth… better be fucking fire
Came up through Macon from my son's Marine graduation in SC about seven years ago. I just had to see Hillcest and Bartlett street. A location I'd thought about for years about 35 years. Parked in front of this lady's house on Bartlett. She says, "You came to see where that guy died?" "Yep." One of my young sons in the car says, "Dad, we have to leave. A guy with a gun just walked into that house." Anyway. That was my Duane crash site experience.
Love Gregg. Since the 1970s my two favorite bands have always been the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers Band. Saw the Dead live 125 times or so and the Brother's around 50 times. The two greatest bands America has ever produced in my humble opinion. Can't stand Dan Rather though and his anti-American values. Big Govt, Big Pharma, Big Tech and the media are not our friends, remember that...
He swerved to go around a truck which is why there are no passing zones and he wasn’t wearing a helmet and we don’t know what his speed was but it had to be fast if he was trying to pass. I also don’t think it was his first accident. Some motorcycle accidents are user error and not due to another car
Dude I was born n raised in Macon Ga. And I myself had brothers and we Would fight like wild animals growing up, sister too. Brothers freakin fight it's just how it is.I'm not saying that it is okay or right, but very common in our region. I could only imagine the 60s, I was a product of the 70s and grew up in the 80s in Macon and man if u weren't wealthy you were poor, not really a middle class back then. Basically brothers fight, especially southern brothers, and being without a father in the 60s. Man it must have been hard for them boys. But to say Duane had no talent? Dude they turned their blues and struggles and sorrows and made pure magic from above thru music out of it. And hundreds of millions of people all over the world continue to love their sound. If that ain't talent, or you can't see that as talent. Then dude...WTF?
@@jaydogooorah1429 they were bigger and more popular without him. Also Warren Haynes and derek trucks massively better than Duane. They were a pretty dysfunctional mess with Duane. Band was much better without him.
You can tell Gregg still mourns his brother. Some people in our lives, we NEVER GET OVER, we just go on.
Well said!!♥️

The stones are ok..but will never match the Supreme Level of the ABB.
I truly believe they were the greatest band America has ever produced.
No doubt in my mind, no other band will ever come close!

Amazingly Gregg was only 22 years old and Duane was 23 when they recorded 'Live at the Filmore East!'
What a performance!
I can still hear the sadness in his voice..I can still see his facial features soften when he speaks of his brother ..let's not forget how close these 2 legends were in age and in their personal lives ..can you imagine how hard a pill that was to swallow ..bitter at best .may they both as well as Berry Oakley rest in Peace....💙✌😎🎵
Agreed

A life so full, rich and talented that people still remember him 50 years later!
REMEMBER Duane ALLMAN ❤️🎶❤️

Gregg was and is still a force to be reckoned with...The Road Goes On Forever 💔🎼🎶🎵🍄🍑🕊☮️✌️♾
Duane passed at 24...He was a kid,future would have been massive
My first Allman Brothers Band LP.
" Live at the Filmore The East".
Best live album ever.
I love Skydog!! His music 🎶🎸and his memory will live on forever.♥️🦋
Rest in peace Gregg and Duane Allman and Barry Oakley, may there be blue skies in heaven for all of you.
Don't forget Butch Trucks.
And Dickey Betts 😢
And now Dickey has left planted earth for the great gig in the sky.
Duane is a true Free Bird🕊
The Allman Brothers were a quintessential '70s band that will always live on.
"To know there's a God up in heaven, who must love rock and roll"🎶
Thanks! You deserve all of the best.

you do realize Greg has died too right?
Forever in our hearts ABB!!!

We miss you, Allman family. Gregg, Duane, and Mama A. We miss you all! 🙏❤️🌹

John Hammond - Southern Fried --
at Muscle Shoals.
Ronnie Hawkins at Muscle Shoals-Cotillion.
Ronnie Hawkins w/ the Dixie Flyers- Cotillion.
Gregory is with Duane now. I wish I could hear the jam sesh
Saw them in Berkeley just before Barry died..my first concert!
Iwas there
I saw them in Jackson, Mississippi shortly before Berry died.
Berry...
Berry Oakley. A bad ass bass player for sure...
Allman Brothers Band ,The greatest rock band that ever existed !
That must’ve been hell, having your brother and best friend die and then your other best friend dies the same exact way a year later, and then still getting the courage to keep on making music. If Berry and Duane didn’t die they would’ve been maybe the best band ever.
The Altman’s were so different from the norm.Part blues,part jazz,part rock.I can’t think of another band that sounded like them.

I saw the Warren/Woody line up many times; they were incredible.
Those early years were part of my youth such fantastic music and musicians. I once heard an interview with Dickey Betts and he stated that Live at the Fillmore East there is not one overdub in the whole album. Phenomenal! Who could do that today?
Love you all, rest easy friends❤️💯❤️

Thank you for News RIP
R.I.P. Duane! You will always be missed!
Great people,who were fine musicians!
Allman Brothers is my Church and their music is my religion......and the road goes on forever ~
We got cheated out hearing duane ripping whipping post for 50 years,
Long live good music

It was never the same after Duane. There's no way it could be.
RWG Gregg and Duane.
They should make a Mt Rushmore for great American musicians, including Duane, Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs.
They are long overdue for Kennedy Center Honors! All fans go Center website and nominate them!
Gregg was awesome in the movie Rush.
Dwayne was the soul of the band...
These dudes used to play all fkn night at the wearhouse in New Orleans and then leave and go set up by the park and play some more!!!
Gregg to me had the best blues vocals coming from a white guy. His brother was the best slide guitar player EVER! LOVE LOVE LOVE that band!!!

Then Berry went almost the same way same place :(
Moral of the story: stay of motorcycles.
You must never been on a real motorcycle?? I survived 2 bad accident and still ride. Although I feel very lucky to survived the 2nd one..
Riding bikes gives a feel like nothing else but it's a very dangerous trip every ride.

@gfunk63901 the truck hit a pothole and stopped Duane didn't expect the truck to stop and then he hit the back of it
THE GREATEST LIAR OF ALL TIME INTERVIEWING GREGG ALLMAN...
Duane was a Bully. An abuser. And not a great talent. Band was better without him
Duane was an abuser of what?
Not a great talent? U got to be kidding. WTF
True. Lame talent. Massively overrated Abused gregg through beatings. Bad guy overall. Band better without him.
Dude
I was born n raised in Macon Ga. And I myself had brothers and we
