Best Blues Band ever. I was turned on to them back in 1971 on my tour of Vietnam in the Marine Corps. Some good beer, a little tai stick Bud, and the Allman Brothers cranked on the Barrak's stereo, made all of the other scary stuff of war, a little easier to get through. Thanks
Statesboro Blues, Melissa, Blue Sky, One Way Out... this band is so varied, and so excellent at all its different types of music... all the while, being the Allman Brothers Band. Recognizable in all of them. Just grab Live at the Fillmore East, or Eat a Peach, and press play.
The Allman Brothers were known as a Jam Band. Their live cuts of these album tunes would last 20, 30 minutes, or more. They would play off of each other and just keep the jam going - true bliss to hear it live!
Thank you for covering this song. It's one of my favortie Allman Brothers songs. Duane's solo is otherworldly. It pisses me off when someone makes a list of the best solos and this one is not one of them This is a masterpiece and I am glad you recognized thisl
Polo I enjoy watching you experience all of this historic music for the first time and in several cases, songs I’ve heard literally a billion times you helped me achieve the feeling of hearing it for the first time again and I thank you! To appreciate the Allman Brothers you have to understand the body of their work, the immense tragedies they suffered, and the depth of the talent of this bunch of jazz-influenced hillbillies from Macon Georgia who put Muscle Shoals studio on the map in the late 1960’s. They were decades ahead of their time and single-handedly created a whole genre. With that said, “Dreams” is a waltz (a 3/3 beat, very rare in rock and roll), and a celebration of the late Duane Allman who died very young and, aside from Johnny Winter, was the greatest white boy slide guitar player that ever lived. The late Johnny Winter, I should add, was the very last of the greatest of the great blues/slide players. Your continuing education in rock and roll should definitely include Johnny’s versions of Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode “, Dylan’s “Highway 61 [Revisited]” or The Rolling Stones “Stray Cat Blues”. Enjoy!
You should give Marshall Tucker Band a listen. “Can’t You See” is one of my all-time favorite songs. I’m only bringing it up because I saw them sharing a stage with the Allman Brothers when I was a kid back about a hundred years ago.
Best Allman Bro song of all time is Blue Sky. You MUST react to that. Double-lead guitar, Dickie Betts and Duane Allman. The greatest double-lead guitar song ever done.
This is one of the great bands ever, an incredible mix of rock, blues and jazz that is both unique and accessible. I personally think Stormy Monday is a masterpiece of the genre, along with In Memory of Elizabeth Reed -- but definitely go with live versions. Can't go wrong with the FIllmore album.
Watching your mechanism while listening to Dreams put me in a trance, much like an ABB concert would back in the day. They had pyscodelic images behind the band on the big screen....cool shows always! Miss my Brothers
This was definitely an 'album cut'. The Brothers didn't really do 'singles' in the way that pop bands do them, with the exception of their biggest 'hit' "Ramblin Man", which has a very country feel to it before the guitars really kick in. Very different from most of their other big songs. Like several others below, I'd really appreciate a reaction to "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" from "At Fillmore East". It's a live cut that is IMO the high point for the original band. It's a Dicky Betts instrumental and is a very jazzy mix of blues, rock and swing that is incredible for a live performance having a lot of improvisation.
Word up Polo, Molly Hatchet's cover to this is an absolute must listen. It's off the chain. If we are fortunate to be graced with your reaction to it, we'd all be very appreciative for that. Keep on Rockin' Polo!
Polo, there is a band you need to hear. The band is from 1974 . The only 100% fully Native American band that I can recall that hit the charts. The band is Redbone " Come And Get Your Love" Love what you are doing! And love your videos!
Anything from the live at Fillmore album is a classic. Not one bad song. I've probably checked out every reaction video to the Allman Brothers and hardly any of them do, "you don't love me". Why, probably because there are more known song such as whipping post, in memory of Elizabeth Reed, Statesboro blues etc. I'd say it's one of my favorites but then I love the whole album. Once you get a few more of their tunes behind you you may be ready for the masterpiece, Mountain Jam. From the same concert but they put it on the next album called eat a peach.
This is my all time favorite band I just turned 40 last Saturday and I envy anyone that saw the original lineup. I got the chance to see them 9 times, Gregg Allman solo 4 times and met him. Skydog lives on through the true ABB fans❤
GREAT REACTION, POLO!!! They have an extensive catalog: but, not extensive enough. Lost two of their lead members in a very quick succession....so sad. But, the talent level is unbelievable. In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed from Live At The Fillmore is pretty unbelievable!! The soul in these guys, at such a young age, is phenomenal!! HUGS!! 😍😍😍😍
This is classic rock at its best. I was a teenager in the late 60s early 70s and ABB music is very much a part of that soundtrack in my memory. I live near Macon Ga and sometimes ride over to visit the band members graves and gang out at The Big House where the band once lived. Great band, great memories.
Oh man. They were and still are way high on my list growing up with their music. Lord if only Barry and Duane hadnt died so early and tragically. The band went on tho and did great things. Ty for this one. I absolutely love it. One of my favorites of the early days. It is an album cut.
I knew this song as I'd seen the Brothers perform it several times, but didn't own the album. Shortly after 9/11, on a 9 hour drive alone, I got a this CD at a truck stop. This song mesmerized, yet energized & inspired me. It's one of my favorite songs ever since. It's definitely an album cut, but try it out alone, loud, on a highway drive - you'll feel it in your core. I had the same reaction to Miles Davis, In A Silent Way (whole album). They're both mystical or somethin'.
No they made it roadhouse trash music and on top of that stole the arrangement from Buddy Miles The Allmans were the templet for ALL the southern bands but they made it unrecognizable Allmans were deep motherfuckers and dead serious band
This very song played live at the Beacon Theater 2003 was absolute gold. Check it out Polo, you will not be disappointed!! Much love for the channel my brother 👊
Listen this Live version th-cam.com/video/NBo_POKv21w/w-d-xo.html Then for them, spend an evening: One Way Out (Live) Blue Sky Ain't Wasting Time No More In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (Live) Melissa Desdemona Midnight Rider Nobody to Run With Anymore Don't Keep Me Wondering Come and Go Blues Little Martha
This band one my favs. For obvious reasons. But don’t know if anybody has mentioned this about this band. Because they had a black member in the band a lot clubs and venues would not let them play so they went up north and played those clubs. When they became who they are those same clubs that would allow them to play asked them to play their venues. They told them you would let us back then we won’t today Mad Respect for that 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼😃
You need to hear and listen to the song A Long Cool Woman in Black Dress by the Hollies and Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf and of course Don't Fear the Reaper and Nights in White Satin and Sugar Sugar by The Archives i believe lol sounds bubble gum but the song rocks for back then!!! Oh and Everytime I Think of You by The Baby's and Where Are You Now by Nazareth and anything by the great band Ambrosia from the 70's. It's ALL good!!!! Definitely!!! Annie
Duane Allman's slide guitar solo is mesmerizing. Butch and Jaimo percussion is perfection. Berry Oakley's bass line ties it all together. Gregg's voice...what can you say.
It's only one of my favorite songs ever. This was the first song that Gregg wrote when he joined up with Duane in California. People don't seem to mention the homage to Take Five by Dave Brubeck but it's obvious, right?
th-cam.com/video/Fyhyor0yU3o/w-d-xo.html Here's a LIVE version -- and don't fret cause Gregg's vocals are turned down in the first half of this recording (not sure why) but you can here Jaimoe & Butchie's dual drumming ever so clearly. Duane, Berry & Dicky's guitars are also highlighted when vocals are lessened: th-cam.com/video/Fyhyor0yU3o/w-d-xo.html
If you are of a mind check out this song live at the beacon theatre around 2017 or so I saw em live when I was a kid in CLE they played in a tent called music carnival. I was around 16 ( I’m 70 now ) I never missed another live show of theirs here after that. Each one was different and each line up was a little different as time passed but each one knocked me out. By the way I enjoyed your reaction videos and appreciate your take on the songs.
Dreams was their effort to make something from 2001 soundtrack. It was not a single. It is, however, my favorite song by anyone ever. The full impact for Dreams is at the end when the listener is almost in a trance (hence the name "Dreams") and then Whipping Post comes out at you BAM! In an interview once, Gregg said he thinks he sounds like James Brown with no lips.
The MH version cannot be mentioned in the same breath as any and all of the versions the Allmans did, both live and in the studio. The Alllmans are the Major Leagues. MH is a low-A team at best.
Whipping Post is hard to beat for anyone - matching it is almost impossible. It's a Freebird type of song for the brothers. Mom had the double live Filmore East album and it's just a vibe
On the first Allman Brothers album Dreams was the track right before Whipping Post. Quite the juxtaposition of songs, and quite the way to finish a debut album.
The catalog is extensive for the ABB, so much to listen to. Enjoy it all Live version of Jessica off the Wipe the Windows,Check the Oil, Dollars Gas album is a great Dickey Betts track
Tool is my favorite band.... I however absolutely love Allman brothers and now all I want is to have all my favorite classics remastered by Tools' studio!
The Allman Brothers Band is a special treasure for us all. I believe your music taste is very similar to mine. All over the place lol however, within different genres we seem to gravitate to and away from the same things✌❤&😃2u
All their songs were album cuts. You don't know how good they are because you haven't heard enough of them. i think i know your taste and if you love rock and blues you'll love them. They had one top 20 song and that happened after their lead guitarist passed away. They are iconic. Keep listening. You've just started.
Album cuts were better than singles. Singles are for the masses. Album cuts are for the discerning listeners and fans. If singles were your best songs back then, you weren't a great group, you were considered a "singles" band. The great groups saved their best for the albums, their singles were to make money, albeit many of their singles were both commercial and critical successes. Led Zep and Pink Floyd had few Top Ten hits, they became big because of their concerts and the advent and rise of FM in the 70s which eschewed the sameness of every AM Top 40 station and played the album cuts from the masters that people wanted to hear - and as a bonus, in stereo while AM was still mono.
If you love bass... Bonnie Delaney & friends band Allman brothers often were part of the friends/ I have always loved it when radio did play this back in the day... It's blues played by a blues band....
Polo great to see you exploring different genres of music! If you thought this was just okay,you should listen to Molly Hatchets version of Dreams I’ll Never See! Up tempo and a rockin ‘ edge that grabs you and pulls you in from beginning to ending! Thank you!
You have to listen to Molly Hatchet's version! It's better not taking anything away from the Allman Brothers. Molly Hatchet is a great Southern Rock band!
I have yet to see a reaction to the fabulously intense guitar work on the Jimi Hendrix song”The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam’s Dice”. If you like something extremely heavy and intense then you need to definitely check it out! With Hendrix (IMHO) being the greatest rock guitarist that ever lived this song ranks at the top of his stellar work. Also, the Hendrix song “Pali Gap” is another tremendous cut, albeit much different in tone than “Stars”.
What a great reaction. Why? Because you didn't like it, and you said you didn't like it. I've never heard this song either and was interested to hear it (I do like the Allman Brothers) and I also wasn't too into the song. Not bad but not great. It's nice to see a reaction channel where the host actually gives you their honest opinion instead of just smiling and nodding and pretending they like every song.
I think you would like the Buddy Miles version or the Molly Hatchet version. They are more upbeat. I agree it's a good atmosphere but doesn't really pull you in.
Bro, first time viewer. I can tell you that having seen WARREN HAYNES from 1989-present, anything you check out from him will not suck. Where do I even begin, for real.... Try THORAZINE SHUFFLE, to set you back in your chair. Once you recover get into the whole catalog and Blow Your Mind!
Try the songs, "One Way Out" or "Midnight Rider." These guys are more of a jam band, sort of like The Dead. If you want to just rock out, throw on some AC/DC, Aerosmith or Van Halen (1984 or earlier).
Really enjoy your reactions. I would not have recommended Dreams immediately after Whipping Post. Too much of a disparity between these two Allman Brothers songs. While I really like Dreams, I would have recommended Black Hearted Woman (studio version) or One Way Out from their Fillmore East album. The Allman Brothers have many great songs. They are arguably the greatest blues rock band of all time. My favorite guitar player is Duane Allman. If you want to hear his guitar playing at its peak, I recommend you react to In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (must be the Fillmore East album live version).
![โรงเรียนห้ามรัก โดนจับได้ตาย...!! [เอิร์นไดเม่]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4u02Sbr556Q/mqdefault.jpg)
"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" by the Allman Brothers, live at the Fillmore, is mind-blowing.....
I love that song, incredibly bluesy!
Elizabeth Reed is a fusion tune. Jazz, blues, rock…sort of hard to label
Oh, that album is fanstasic.
We need a reaction video to the whole album. It’s a journey
These guys were in their early 20’s putting out such legendary music. Real musicians doing their thing.
Best Blues Band ever. I was turned on to them back in 1971 on my tour of Vietnam in the Marine Corps. Some good beer, a little tai stick Bud, and the Allman Brothers cranked on the Barrak's stereo, made all of the other scary stuff of war, a little easier to get through.
Thanks
Thank you for your service in such a brutal war.
Glad you returned and are on this channel.
Thank you for referring to them as a blues band. So often they’re classified as a southern rock band, but they are soooo much more.
Statesboro Blues, Melissa, Blue Sky, One Way Out... this band is so varied, and so excellent at all its different types of music... all the while, being the Allman Brothers Band. Recognizable in all of them. Just grab Live at the Fillmore East, or Eat a Peach, and press play.
"One Way Out" was full of energy and very fun.
This is the kind of song a band plays right when the sun sets and it cools off a bit at an outdoor show. That's the vibe it's always given me.
Dreams, Whipping Post, and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed are best heard in live format imo. Tons of great ABB songs to discover Polo!
The Allman Brothers were known as a Jam Band. Their live cuts of these album tunes would last 20, 30 minutes, or more. They would play off of each other and just keep the jam going - true bliss to hear it live!
Thank you for covering this song. It's one of my favortie Allman Brothers songs. Duane's solo is otherworldly. It pisses me off when someone makes a list of the best solos and this one is not one of them This is a masterpiece and I am glad you recognized thisl
I can't even count the number of times I have seen this band since I was 15. Just a magical experience of blues and rock
Last concert I took my dad to it was raining.
If I walk past a dive bar and hear The Allman Brothers Band imma always go in and buy a beer.
Polo I enjoy watching you experience all of this historic music for the first time and in several cases, songs I’ve heard literally a billion times you helped me achieve the feeling of hearing it for the first time again and I thank you!

This song pulls you in and takes you on an amazing trip. Like no other. Everything about it is on another level.
Best Allman Bro song of all time is Blue Sky. You MUST react to that. Double-lead guitar, Dickie Betts and Duane Allman. The greatest double-lead guitar song ever done.

...the Fillmore East with the Joshua Light Show!
Agreed. What is that? A clock maybe/
Whipping Post and Dreams, are my 2 favs, glad these were your introduction to the band... amazing tracks..
This was definitely an 'album cut'. The Brothers didn't really do 'singles' in the way that pop bands do them, with the exception of their biggest 'hit' "Ramblin Man", which has a very country feel to it before the guitars really kick in.

One way out, Statesboro Blues & Midnight Rider are all amazing!!
Word up Polo, Molly Hatchet's cover to this is an absolute must listen. It's off the chain. If we are fortunate to be graced with your reaction to it, we'd all be very appreciative for that. Keep on Rockin' Polo!
No garbage
Only one guy covered this and that was Buddy Miles
Absolute nonsense. The MH version utterly pales compared to the real deal, both the studio and live versions, all versions of the Allmans.
STILL THE BEST BAND I EVER HEARD IN OUTDOOR CONCERTS! Opened up my mind and I never went back!
Greatest guitar solo ever!!!!!!!...Duane Allman
Polo, there is a band you need to hear.
The band is from 1974 . The only 100% fully Native American band that I can recall that hit the charts. The band is Redbone " Come And Get Your Love" Love what you are doing! And love your videos!

Don't forget the melodic guitar playing by Duane Allman; he is dearly missed.
This is my all time favorite band I just turned 40 last Saturday and I envy anyone that saw the original lineup. I got the chance to see them 9 times, Gregg Allman solo 4 times and met him. Skydog lives on through the true ABB fans❤
Just saw The Allman Betts Band do an incredible 15 min. version of this. Best version I’ve ever heard.
GREAT REACTION, POLO!!! They have an extensive catalog: but, not extensive enough. Lost two of their lead members in a very quick succession....so sad. But, the talent level is unbelievable. In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed from Live At The Fillmore is pretty unbelievable!! The soul in these guys, at such a young age, is phenomenal!! HUGS!! 😍😍😍😍
Statesboro blues and Stormy monday youll like them. Huge catalog . 2 drummers BTW.
This is classic rock at its best. I was a teenager in the late 60s early 70s and ABB music is very much a part of that soundtrack in my memory. I live near Macon Ga and sometimes ride over to visit the band members graves and gang out at The Big House where the band once lived. Great band, great memories.
Jessica by The Allman Brothers is a beautiful song
Molly Hatchet's version is pretty dope too. The Allman's dont miss. Ever.
Instant flashback memories to the early seventies.
Oh man. They were and still are way high on my list growing up with their music. Lord if only Barry and Duane hadnt died so early and tragically. The band went on tho and did great things. Ty for this one. I absolutely love it. One of my favorites of the early days. It is an album cut.
I dont think there is a better synchrony of drummers. The Idlewild South album is also a masterpiece of the genre.
I knew this song as I'd seen the Brothers perform it several times, but didn't own the album. Shortly after 9/11, on a 9 hour drive alone, I got a this CD at a truck stop. This song mesmerized, yet energized & inspired me. It's one of my favorite songs ever since. It's definitely an album cut, but try it out alone, loud, on a highway drive - you'll feel it in your core. I had the same reaction to Miles Davis, In A Silent Way (whole album). They're both mystical or somethin'.
You’re on track. They were composers and it’s the compilation that makes them magnificent
ONE of my favourite songs well done
These guys are great. A group named Molly Hatchet covered this tune. It's worth checking out
No they made it roadhouse trash music and on top of that stole the arrangement from Buddy Miles
The Allmans were the templet for ALL the southern bands but they made it unrecognizable
Allmans were deep motherfuckers and dead serious band
You should react to their Fillmore East Album….do the full album ✌️
This very song played live at the Beacon Theater 2003 was absolute gold. Check it out Polo, you will not be disappointed!! Much love for the channel my brother 👊
I was going to make the same suggestion.
Listen this Live version th-cam.com/video/NBo_POKv21w/w-d-xo.html
Then for them, spend an evening:
One Way Out (Live)
Blue Sky
Ain't Wasting Time No More
In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (Live)
Melissa
Desdemona
Midnight Rider
Nobody to Run With Anymore
Don't Keep Me Wondering
Come and Go Blues
Little Martha
What? No "Jessica"?! ❤
@@timgeary4550 ha, ok add Jessica too.
This band one my favs. For obvious reasons. But don’t know if anybody has mentioned this about this band. Because they had a black member in the band a lot clubs and venues would not let them play so they went up north and played those clubs. When they became who they are those same clubs that would allow them to play asked them to play their venues. They told them you would let us back then we won’t today Mad Respect for that 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼😃
I believe you would like "One Way Out" by the Allman Bros.
You need to hear and listen to the song A Long Cool Woman in Black Dress by the Hollies and Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf and of course Don't Fear the Reaper and Nights in White Satin and Sugar Sugar by The Archives i believe lol sounds bubble gum but the song rocks for back then!!! Oh and Everytime I Think of You by The Baby's and Where Are You Now by Nazareth and anything by the great band Ambrosia from the 70's. It's ALL good!!!! Definitely!!! Annie
Stormy Monday is definitely one to check out from the Brothers. Off of their Fillmore East album. It will touch your soul.
Two drummers in this band.
I really like this song.
Duane Allman's slide guitar solo is mesmerizing. Butch and Jaimo percussion is perfection. Berry Oakley's bass line ties it all together. Gregg's voice...what can you say.
It's only one of my favorite songs ever. This was the first song that Gregg wrote when he joined up with Duane in California.
People don't seem to mention the homage to Take Five by Dave Brubeck but it's obvious, right?
Love this version just fine.
th-cam.com/video/Fyhyor0yU3o/w-d-xo.html
Here's a LIVE version -- and don't fret cause Gregg's vocals are turned down in the first half of this recording (not sure why) but you can here Jaimoe & Butchie's dual drumming ever so clearly. Duane, Berry & Dicky's guitars are also highlighted when vocals are lessened:
th-cam.com/video/Fyhyor0yU3o/w-d-xo.html
If you are of a mind check out this song live at the beacon theatre around 2017 or so
I saw em live when I was a kid in CLE they played in a tent called music carnival. I was around 16 ( I’m 70 now )
I never missed another live show of theirs here after that.
Each one was different and each line up was a little different as time passed but each one knocked me out.
By the way I enjoyed your reaction videos and appreciate your take on the songs.
Its like a masterpiece right out of the gate for them.
DUDE!!! You have got to listen to In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.
Dreams was their effort to make something from 2001 soundtrack. It was not a single. It is, however, my favorite song by anyone ever. The full impact for Dreams is at the end when the listener is almost in a trance (hence the name "Dreams") and then Whipping Post comes out at you BAM!
In an interview once, Gregg said he thinks he sounds like James Brown with no lips.
Great band!! Melissa is my favorite by them. Check it out!
Absolutely love this song. Molly Hatchet's version gave it a sharper edge. Both are amazing.
The MH version cannot be mentioned in the same breath as any and all of the versions the Allmans did, both live and in the studio. The Alllmans are the Major Leagues. MH is a low-A team at best.
PLease head down the rabbit hole of ABB Live at the Filmore East.
Whipping Post is hard to beat for anyone - matching it is almost impossible. It's a Freebird type of song for the brothers. Mom had the double live Filmore East album and it's just a vibe
One of the coolest album covers ever and still have a copy
On the first Allman Brothers album Dreams was the track right before Whipping Post. Quite the juxtaposition of songs, and quite the way to finish a debut album.
whipping post is hard to beat, but try a studio cut of Southbound. love your reactions, spiral out
Two drummers playing at the same time Polo…
The catalog is extensive for the ABB, so much to listen to. Enjoy it all
Live version of Jessica off the Wipe the Windows,Check the Oil, Dollars Gas album is a great Dickey Betts track
I put on my walkin’ shoes a lot these days
Yes! Tight band! Great music! Check out LIVE AT THE FILLMORE! ABB also does a great cover of STORMY MONDAY...
Tool is my favorite band.... I however absolutely love Allman brothers and now all I want is to have all my favorite classics remastered by Tools' studio!
Sings like he's in pain=singing the blues!
The Allman Brothers Band is a special treasure for us all. I believe your music taste is very similar to mine. All over the place lol however, within different genres we seem to gravitate to and away from the same things✌❤&😃2u

not my cross to bear is the best song on that album, imho... should listen to the entire album, every song is good or great.
Album cuts were better than singles. Singles are for the masses. Album cuts are for the discerning listeners and fans. If singles were your best songs back then, you weren't a great group, you were considered a "singles" band.

Blue Sky and Revival.
Molly Hatchet did a awesome cover of this, it's a must listen.
Allman Brothers isn't done until you hear Midnight Rider.
If you love bass... Bonnie Delaney & friends band Allman brothers often were part of the friends/ I have always loved it when radio did play this back in the day... It's blues played by a blues band....
Polo great to see you exploring different genres of music! If you thought this was just okay,you should listen to Molly Hatchets version of Dreams I’ll Never See! Up tempo and a rockin ‘ edge that grabs you and pulls you in from beginning to ending! Thank you!
You have to listen to Molly Hatchet's version! It's better not taking anything away from the Allman Brothers. Molly Hatchet is a great Southern Rock band!
Sheer utter nonsense. The MH version completely misses the spirit, intent, and musical lyricism of the Allman's versions, all of them.
Gregg Allman wrote this as a tribute to MLK.
There is space in these AB songs. No hurry.
Definitely listen to Molly Hatchet version. Also yes, Whipping Post is a bad ass song from TABB.
I have yet to see a reaction to the fabulously intense guitar work on the Jimi Hendrix song”The Stars That Play with Laughing Sam’s Dice”. If you like something extremely heavy and intense then you need to definitely check it out! With Hendrix (IMHO) being the greatest rock guitarist that ever lived this song ranks at the top of his stellar work.

It's nice to see a reaction channel where the host actually gives you their honest opinion instead of just smiling and nodding and pretending they like every song.
You need to be doing more of them and Steely Dan!
I would recommend "Soulshine" by these guys next. Such a great song to hit you in the feels. Kick back on the back porch kinda song
yes!
Love your sense of humor. LOL
Greatest band ever,miss them so much .
I think you would like the Buddy Miles version or the Molly Hatchet version. They are more upbeat. I agree it's a good atmosphere but doesn't really pull you in.
Try these ABB tracks....Hoochie Coochie Man, Statesboro Blues, Stormy Monday, One Way Out, not my Cross to Bear, black hearted woman
So soulful.
Bro, first time viewer. I can tell you that having seen WARREN HAYNES from 1989-present, anything you check out from him will not suck. Where do I even begin, for real.... Try THORAZINE SHUFFLE, to set you back in your chair. Once you recover get into the whole catalog and Blow Your Mind!
Try the songs, "One Way Out" or "Midnight Rider." These guys are more of a jam band, sort of like The Dead. If you want to just rock out, throw on some AC/DC, Aerosmith or Van Halen (1984 or earlier).
Yeah, Midnight Rider!!
It's not my cross to bear.
Really enjoy your reactions. I would not have recommended Dreams immediately after Whipping Post. Too much of a disparity between these two Allman Brothers songs. While I really like Dreams, I would have recommended Black Hearted Woman (studio version) or One Way Out from their Fillmore East album. The Allman Brothers have many great songs. They are arguably the greatest blues rock band of all time. My favorite guitar player is Duane Allman. If you want to hear his guitar playing at its peak, I recommend you react to In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (must be the Fillmore East album live version).
You want something to follow "Whipping Post", ... try "I'm No Angel" or maybe "Midnight Rider".
They had jazzy beat too.
They had two drummers
Bro this one is over the Target , yet again .
More , please & thank you .
Allman Brothers, light em up. #nonarcs
