Seriously: the music you've been trying out and reacting to has been part of my life for as long as I can remember but watching you fall in love has me listening and appreciating it like never before. Thank you so much. You're really good at this.
Sweetheart, this grandma was raised on this music. We knew the names of every band member. We saw them live for $10. They were young like I was, and it was pure genius and magic. Never to be repeated. Thank you!
I am right there with you my friend...I consider myself a child of rock but I must admit that I hadn’t heard that track before and I’m loving it. I’m gonna have to go deep into the Almam Brothers rabbit hole. That’s a sweet groove!!!
The Allman Brothers " Live at the Fillmore East " Album was " Finally Recognized and Placed as 51st in the [ was it called ? ] The All Time Best Albums ! ( [ W/ No Disrespect to The Allman Bros. ] / The word Best is always a Matter of Opinion ) ! They should have been Ranked higher !
one of the two drummers they used was Black, the rest of the band was Southern and White....Gregg Allman's voice drives their music like a brand new Benz...of course Dickey Betts and Duane Allman (who died not long after this album) were mainstays of this ICONIC uniquely Southern blues group....one of the greatest American bands ever
one more thing, you rarely hear this type of soul from Whites who didn't grow up in the deep south....Why ? Because most White bands from the South were very highly influenced by Black blues singers from the South because we lived so close together and shared one another's culture....most of the bands heroes were guys like B.B. King, Elvis Presley, Gary Davis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Robert Lockwood and so on
And oh, how I sobbed the day he died, but at the same time, I felt grateful that he was in Heaven, out of pain, in the arms of the Lord and his brother, Duane. A long, well deserved reunion!
@@shawnj1966 I always thought of Skynyrd as a Kmart version of the Allman Bros. The Allmans were the real thing - Skynyrd...ehh...I think they tried too hard to be a Southern rock band.
@@Neil-de1fh No, do not touch the stuff!! You love Skynyrd...that's fine...your business. But you gotta face facts also. Every one of those 70's Southern Rock bands were 2nd fiddle to the Allmans. They were the first and the best. All the others were just imitations of them.
@31wst, Skynyrd was hardly an imitation of the Allman Brothers and actually formed a few years before them albeit under a different name so there goes your, "they were the first.", argument. They sound nothing alike and they certainly weren't trying to be anything but themselves. If you hear any imitation it is because you have a bad ear for music! Just admit that you got your panties in a bunch because I commented that Skynyrd had a better body of work. Ask most people how many Allman Brothers songs they know and you can count them on one hand. I love them but the fact is that they just weren't as prolific as Skynyrd even though their best music was just as good if not better depending on the the opinion of the fans. Was Molly Hatchet or Blackfoot trying to sound like any other Southern Rock bands? Of course not! The Allman Brothers were awesome but nobody was trying to imitate them! All the bands had a different and unique sound and just because they were all classified as Southern Rock it doesn't mean that they were imitating anyone else. Now stop whining and admit that I'm right LOL

The Allman Brothers Band was one of the first racially integrated southern rock band and the only surviving members are Dicky Betts and Jaimoe, miss the band, feel the loss they feel without the band. Thanks for posting this Jamel❤️
Allman Brothers! In my opinion America’s best homegrown ensemble. Two drum sets, great bass and the Hammond organ, and great guitar playing. Rooted in blues, gospel, country and the like. Excellent live performances!
There's a guy in my town that looks like him, except his hair is more strawberry blonde. On occasion I see him walking his dog when I walk mine - I always think.....there goes Phoenixville Gregg
@Ron Snuggs You're not Gregg Allman, dude. I'm saying that those three things enhanced his bluesy singing. If it magically worked for everyone, he wouldn't be special.
I refer to it as "The Mighty Hammond B-3"! Love that sound! Jamal should definitely review some more bands that used it. Procul Harum and Yes off the top of my head.
Some people call them southern rock,some people call them blues, but they've got a lot of jazz elements in their music. They blend it all together beautifully,and Gregg Allman was the MAN!
@@agentrobtaylor Definitely not arguing his chops on the guitar. One of the best ever. But was just kinda typing that in response to dudes reaction on the soul of Gregg ' s voice. I didn't get to see Duane live,but did see them with Dickey Betts and Warren Haynes and they were amazing playing those dueling harmonies like on "Jessica". I love that shit!!!
I've only discovered these "reaction" videos tonight. Seeing you brothers, hearing my music for the first time, the music that is in my bones and that of so many of us, with SUCH appreciation - just brings tears. The 60s and 70s were the most profound time for those of us there - historic in its reach and depth. I can say how relieved, grateful, and thrilled I am that our artists have reached across the decades to find your hearts. Thank you, Jamal.
Years ago before the internet, one of the great joys in life was introducing people to a band they never heard before, because you took a chance on an 8 dollar album!
The Shoals Sound - mega-rabbit hole of a who's who of music. Etta James, Wilson Pickett, Aretha, The Staple Singers, Bob Segar, Dylan, Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, Paul Simon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Cocker . . . endless hours of great music
The first time i found out about Muscle schoals was when I checked out a non- promoted album by bobby hatfield...yes he went to Muscle schoals. Trying out something different.
Duane Allman, put the fear of God in most Guitarist,including Eric Clapton. That's why Eric worked with him, smart on his part, if you can't beat em join em!
@@genesutton6383 That was mutual between them. Before Duane met Eric, Tom Dowd took Derek And The Dominos from the studio to see the Allman Brothers in concert. Duane looked off the stage and saw Clapton watching him and literally quit playing in the middle of his solo and turned his back to the audience because he was so shook up. Dickey looked over at Duane to see what had happened, followed his line of sight, and upon seeing Clapton HE quit playing and also turned his back to the audience. This story has been told by everyone from Tom Dowd, to Bobby Whitlock, to Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks.
@@robertcole5123 No it hasnt. I heard different versions of Duane's reaction. Never heard he turned his back. But i have never heard any version where Dickey stopped playing...let alone turned his back. One thing they all agree on, is that Duane respected the fck outta Eric, and Eric respected the fck outta Duane. All good.
Between blacks and whites. Granted yall prolly from the the north or out west . But damn how can yall deny southern rock and how it heals and fills the soul.
My family immigrated to the US when I was ten. I love American music, rock, blues, country, western, bluegrass, jazz, Motown. There are wonderful gems all over the place. America has great music because America has a great soul.
I grew up listening to this kind of music and never really thought much about it. It's wonderful to see somebody react to it for the very first time ever- it's as though I am also hearing it fresh once again. Thank you for these videos...please keep them coming!
Unfortunately Gregg passed away a few years ago. His son Elijah didn’t play with him. Trucks son, Derek played with him. Named after Duane Derek Allman.
@@clearwatervalleythrift3443 ummm,it wasn't Butch Trucks son,Derek was his nephew,and after Butch died,and the remaining members of The Allman Brothers Band and associates got together as The Brothers,Derek's younger brother Duane played drums alongside Jaimoe for the concerts.
I just watched you experience Led zeppelin and now the Allamn Brothers. You really felt it, and who wouldn't get the chills over those Bluesy R&B rhythms. They put there hearts in it.
@@emilyhailey9713 We would laugh,sometimes in their jam,you would get lost,and I would say I don't remember what song they were even playing,and then you could here it building back toward another chorus or whatever,JUST AWWWSUM
More Allman Bros please"one way out","midnight rider","sweet Melissa", and solo Greg Allman"I'm no angel" all are classics and worth a listen and reaction.🎸☮️
When you hear southern rock label, it can unfairly pigeon hole the music. The Allmans are VERY accomplished musicians. The songs are unreal. They are a jazz influenced, blues band. I am glad this guy Jamel is posting his reactions. One of the greatest bands ever assembled. Fun to see this guy's reaction. Southern Bluesmen with some Bluegrass and Jazz musical influence...with some 60's/70's era hippies flair. Just one of the great band of all time.
Like Otis Redding, he had the hard-earned wisdom of an older man in his voice. Both were barely out of their teens when they started out (and sadly, Otis never had the chance to actually get old).
Allman Brothers concerts were never a let down. IMO, the best live show in ANY era. I get chills watching the love you give to this recording. I can close my eyes and see Greg on that keyboard deliver the goods with that iconic voice. I was lucky enough to see them live many times and even in they 2010's they were nothing short of perfection. Bruce Trucks with with prodigal son Derek along with Warren Haynes. My god - the perfect funktified southern soul higher institution of rock. End of story.
There's a reason they were the best live band that ever graced a stage. Same reason why Fillmore East album has been named by the Library of Congress as being culturally or historically important.
Listen to their live at the Fillmore Album, good grief that is so good. The songs sounded even better live and Whipping Post is incredible. But my personal favorite, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is a diamond. It's on my Road Music list, often the first song that's on when I hit the road.
Live at The Fillmore is I think THE BEST live album ever. I am a 65 year old lady, & The Allman Brothers along with a lot of other music from back then , te best.
The 70’s/80’s had the most incredible and amazing music ever! Each song is a full body experience and the concerts....out of this world! Most amazing music is an understatement!💕💕
@@brownbenplumm9027 I can't tell you how lucky I feel to have been able to see them live in Boston twice before Duane Allman died. Their concerts were just insane.
@@brownbenplumm9027 Once was indoors at either the Music Hall or the Orpheum, and the second time was outdoors on Boston Common. It was part of a series called Concerts on the Common, and a band called Wet Willie opened for them. It was on August 17, 1971 (I Googled it), and I sat on the lawn maybe 60' from the stage. Probably paid about $10 for the ticket. How amazing is that? The following October, Duane Allman was killed.
@@orihoola, I don't think I implied that anyone did -- though some folks might enjoy it. What I meant is that Whipping Post takes you to a raw emotional space, which hurts if you empathize with the singer. But like all good blues, it feels so good when the band releases you from that raw space and lets you return to a more normal space.
Jamel, I Love that you can stretch your soul into uncharted genres, and appreciate the love, passion and raw emotion, that so many artists put into their music. You are good for this world! Rock on my Brother!
Indeed, that is the tune that was voted " If I was stranded on an island that is the one song I'd listen to forever" by music fans on KSAN in the Bay Area... Great mention Mike Davis
OMG please listen to that song. Brother Duane's guitar in that song will bring you down to your knees in tears! You say all the time that you love when an artist shows passion. You can FEEL the pain in that song! No lie!
Actually, the song on The Boz Scaggs album that really gets me is “Finding Her”. Duanes guitar is so subtle and amazing at the same time. Listen close at the end, it’s the best part!
@@mikedavis1751 There was not a bad cut on that lp .. Finding her is killer and Sweet Release just slays me.. I have just about all Duane's stuff and Allmans except the Arista releases.. Have a good one and jam on!!
This was one of my "therapy songs" when my ex-wife left me, seems I was the only one married. "Whipping Post", Marshall Tucker Band, "Can't you see", they helped me discover other Southern Rock, Rock, and Blues artists, and I learned to let go of my hurt and move on. Music is so therapeutic to me and I am glad you are doing these reactions.
Having listened to the Allmans since high school in the early 70's, there is something wrong with this recording -- there is only ONE guitar and there are TWO in the group, Duane and Dickie Betts. You need another recording, off the Beginnings or Idlewild South albums for the whole effect. The way Duane and Dickie play off each other is magic. That said, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much J.
Seriously: the music you've been trying out and reacting to has been part of my life for as long as I can remember but watching you fall in love has me listening and appreciating it like never before. Thank you so much. You're really good at this.
Yes! All this!
You're remembering what you forgot that you already knew?
yeah, I know...
Like it's the first time I ever heard it yet so many memories come back.
Discovered him today and I am thoroughly entertained watching the reactions. It's a fresh spin on the music I love to listen to!!!! I am a fan!!!
Same her Becca We had the Best music
Appreciating the music of my generation like i never realized because of Jamel's honest and deep evaluation musically as well as lyrically.
I had the privilege's of seeing these guys 3 times in the 70's and I always got chills when they finished with this incredible song.
Sweetheart, this grandma was raised on this music. We knew the names of every band member. We saw them live for $10. They were young like I was, and it was pure genius and magic. Never to be repeated. Thank you!

Don't worry Jamel, you'll never get thru them all as I probably won't manage to get thru all of your reactions! Thanks for this.
THIS is why the crap today they call music, can't compete with this. Soul. Not stripped of soul. Greg is also one of my fav. singers.

Jamel - I get chills every time I hear Whipping Post. Greg Allman had such a soulful voice! He's up in heaven with his brother Duane now.
One of the best rock singers ever.
Well, like the song says: If there's a rock n roll heaven, you know they got a hell of a band.
Yes,A great singer,and group I remember in79was13.
Yes Lord
And oh, how I sobbed the day he died, but at the same time, I felt grateful that he was in Heaven, out of pain, in the arms of the Lord and his brother, Duane. A long, well deserved reunion!
Greg’s voice and organ, along with Duane’s lead guitar, hard to believe they were in their early 20’s.
Harder to believe they're both dead. Seems like yesterday.
Yeah your telling me.. he’s always sounded like an old man who lived a long hard life. Something you just can’t fake.
The whole damn band.
Berry's base was something to behold, too. These were all young guys. wow.
They was that young when they recorded this!!!?? Wow amazing
The perfect blend of rock, blues, country, and soul. No one did it better than the Allman Brothers!!

Keith Marr awesome band have not listened to them in a long while
there's no more tears because their sons have picked up where their dads left off. check it out
Met Jaimoe in a bathroom at a concert lol
LOL man you're killin' me with these reactions. I gotta get offa here and do something or I'll be here all day.
I've been here all night. Contagious rock and roll. Music being real
Join the club! Watching someone else enjoy it for the first time is like enjoying it YOURSELF for the first time!
I'm glad I'm working from home cuz I've been cracking up..its beautiful to see someone discover something for the first time
You and me both brother!
One of their ABSOLUTE BEST songs. Legendary song from a legendary band.
Allman Brothers! In my opinion America’s best homegrown ensemble. Two drum sets, great bass and the Hammond organ, and great guitar playing. Rooted in blues, gospel, country and the like. Excellent live performances!
God the Allman Brothers were so damn good! SOUL has NO color....
Amen
A couple members of the band were black.
Trent Allman and yet they were all brothers
@@johansmallberries9874 There is a Behind the Music on them you might like.
Trent Allman one
I love when people discover the great music they've been missing. There are people that can relate.
Tasty!! That's Greg Allman. Knew a guy that looked just like him. We called him Greg Almost. lol
😆 Greg Almost! I love it 😆
There's a guy in my town that looks like him, except his hair is more strawberry blonde. On occasion I see him walking his dog when I walk mine - I always think.....there goes Phoenixville Gregg
Made me laugh out loud. Thanks, needed that.
Dude, that's awesome. Lulz
Reminds me of the Neil Diamond tribute act "Nearly Neil" 😁
You have the look of a man who's just been well Allman Brothered
lol nice
James Norris Barrett We need more folks Allman Brothered! It would make for more brotherly love.
If you can’t feel Gregg’s emotions in his singing, you’re dead.
Check out Statesboro Blues and One Way Out from Fillmore East.....
Let's face it, check out all of Fillmore East.
Ditto to Grelch
That was the first Allman Brothers album I ever heard. Great live album. Great live performance. My favorite of theirs.
“Trouble No More” also a crowd pleaser! They ain’t making music like this no more. Are they?
Hell no!!!!
Gregg was a freaking baby when he sang this. How in the hell does a 20 year old have that sound?
Old soul!!!!
Old soul, for sure!
Heavy drug, alcohol, and tobacco use.
I did the same with my garage band growing up. We played blues like this.i was 16 or 17 .
@Ron Snuggs You're not Gregg Allman, dude. I'm saying that those three things enhanced his bluesy singing. If it magically worked for everyone, he wouldn't be special.
That Hammond organ never gets the credit it deserves! Love the Brothers 💕🍑✌️
I refer to it as "The Mighty Hammond B-3"! Love that sound! Jamal should definitely review some more bands that used it. Procul Harum and Yes off the top of my head.
@@alfondsotisserand7606 Booker T., and the MGs
B3!
Some people call them southern rock,some people call them blues, but they've got a lot of jazz elements in their music. They blend it all together beautifully,and Gregg Allman was the MAN!
pretty sure brother Duane was equally the man...RIP to them both
@@agentrobtaylor Definitely not arguing his chops on the guitar. One of the best ever. But was just kinda typing that in response to dudes reaction on the soul of Gregg ' s voice. I didn't get to see Duane live,but did see them with Dickey Betts and Warren Haynes and they were amazing playing those dueling harmonies like on "Jessica". I love that shit!!!
@@garylindsey5174 Oh man..Jessica. Don't me started
@@agentrobtaylor Have you listened to any of The Allman Betts Band,tracks?
Gregg Allman was pure soul, I loved his voice so much. He was a pretty good actor too, when he was in the movie Rush I was blown away.
I've only discovered these "reaction" videos tonight. Seeing you brothers, hearing my music for the first time, the music that is in my bones and that of so many of us, with SUCH appreciation - just brings tears. The 60s and 70s were the most profound time for those of us there - historic in its reach and depth. I can say how relieved, grateful, and thrilled I am that our artists have reached across the decades to find your hearts. Thank you, Jamal.
Years ago before the internet, one of the great joys in life was introducing people to a band they never heard before, because you took a chance on an 8 dollar album!
Amazing WOW!! Love your reaction!
Your life will never be same. I'm kind of jealous, you are entering a whole new world for the first time.
Jamal, you REALLY need to listen to "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" live version at Fillmore
You have to watch the documentary "Muscle Shoals" if you are loving this. a lot of amazing music came out of Muscle Shoals.
The Shoals Sound - mega-rabbit hole of a who's who of music.
Etta James, Wilson Pickett, Aretha, The Staple Singers, Bob Segar, Dylan, Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, Paul Simon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Cocker . . . endless hours of great music
The session players and producers rivalry in Mussel shoals produced some of the greatest music ever recorded!
The first time i found out about Muscle schoals was when I checked out a non- promoted album by bobby hatfield...yes he went to Muscle schoals. Trying out something different.
Didn’t he pass on these guys ? He probably still kicking himself
@@peterthegreat996 yep...Rick said he missed the boat on that one.
Yes Yes Yes!!!! You found them!!! Thank you!!! Southern Rock is something else, right?
I always put them in the same genre as Marshall Tucker, The Outlaws, .38 Special, Molly Hatchet, but that's just me.
Gregg Allman didn't care for the term "Southern Rock". He felt it was redundant. He always said "All rock is Southern."
Not a single bad song did the Allman Brothers ever perform.
This is the motherfucking truth!
With that music giants in the band ....hardly, never heard from them bad song !!!
When you go on your first date play this song and if they dont like it you just turn that car right back around. Well bye
Right, because.....why bother?
🤣🤣🤣
Definitely
Waiting for the midnight Rider my favorite 😃🇨🇦
My favorite too from the Allman Brothers. This one here though is a close second...
My ANTHEM...
This has my vote as well- DO EET
Yes! I recommend Jessica, or one way out...✌️😎
Elizabeth Reed!!
Duane Allman one of the greatest guitar players ever. But Greg’s voice defines this band.
Duane Allman, put the fear of God in most Guitarist,including Eric Clapton. That's why Eric worked with him, smart on his part, if you can't beat em join em!
@@genesutton6383 That was mutual between them. Before Duane met Eric, Tom Dowd took Derek And The Dominos from the studio to see the Allman Brothers in concert. Duane looked off the stage and saw Clapton watching him and literally quit playing in the middle of his solo and turned his back to the audience because he was so shook up. Dickey looked over at Duane to see what had happened, followed his line of sight, and upon seeing Clapton HE quit playing and also turned his back to the audience. This story has been told by everyone from Tom Dowd, to Bobby Whitlock, to Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks.
@@robertcole5123 this story gets better and better w age. Just like a fish story
@@JB-sh2mm Thing is, it's been told the exact same way by members of The Allman Brothers, members of Derek And The Dominos and Tom Dowd since day one!
@@robertcole5123 No it hasnt. I heard different versions of Duane's reaction. Never heard he turned his back. But i have never heard any version where Dickey stopped playing...let alone turned his back. One thing they all agree on, is that Duane respected the fck outta Eric, and Eric respected the fck outta Duane. All good.
Between blacks and whites. Granted yall prolly from the the north or out west . But damn how can yall deny southern rock and how it heals and fills the soul.
My family immigrated to the US when I was ten. I love American music, rock, blues, country, western, bluegrass, jazz, Motown. There are wonderful gems all over the place. America has great music because America has a great soul.
You know it FLYIN RYAN.
Agreed!
very best music for a trip. strong medicine.
I's a nowthana, and I ain't denyin' nothin'!
I grew up listening to this kind of music and never really thought much about it. It's wonderful to see somebody react to it for the very first time ever- it's as though I am also hearing it fresh once again.
Thank you for these videos...please keep them coming!
Did you know he was married to Cher they have a son that plays with him.
Unfortunately Gregg passed away a few years ago. His son Elijah didn’t play with him. Trucks son, Derek played with him. Named after Duane Derek Allman.
@@clearwatervalleythrift3443 ummm,it wasn't Butch Trucks son,Derek was his nephew,and after Butch died,and the remaining members of The Allman Brothers Band and associates got together as The Brothers,Derek's younger brother Duane played drums alongside Jaimoe for the concerts.
I just watched you experience Led zeppelin and now the Allamn Brothers. You really felt it, and who wouldn't get the chills over those Bluesy R&B rhythms. They put there hearts in it.
FREAKIN LOVE THE ALLMAN BROTHERS,was lucky enough to see them AWWWSUM
Yeah I saw them in Charlotte a long time ago,it was my three kids first concert
@@emilyhailey9713 We would laugh,sometimes in their jam,you would get lost,and I would say I don't remember what song they were even playing,and then you could here it building back toward another chorus or whatever,JUST AWWWSUM
The Allman Brothers Band were quite possibly the best band in the U.S. at this time before they lost Duane Allman at 24 in a motorcycle accident.
duane was a much better guitarist than he was a motorcyclist
Eat A Peach !
Gregg Allman might be my favorite vocalist of all-time
Keef Mack May he Rest In Peace in Rock nRoll Heaven ✝️✝️
💯
Absolutely!!! Always and forever!!!
"If they bringin' it like that..."
Oh, they bring it.
Oh it's been broughten.
@@goudagirl6095 🤣🤣🤣
"Sweet Melissa" really does it for me with the soul, *sigh*
Gregg Allman had such a powerful voice. It is just incredible.
powerful and damn was he soulful
PLEASE Jamel, ONE WAY OUT by the ALLMAN Bros. Classic guitar duel
More Allman Bros please"one way out","midnight rider","sweet Melissa", and solo Greg Allman"I'm no angel" all are classics and worth a listen and reaction.🎸☮️
midnight Rider is ICONIC.
Have you heard his "Low Country Blues" record from a few years ago? It's fantastic, super-swampy and up there with some of his best solo work.
I'll second "one way out", great song, and reminds me of time I was in that position. The late 60's and 70's were so great for good music..
Gary Kelly Dreams, Jessica
You know what is all about
When you hear southern rock label, it can unfairly pigeon hole the music. The Allmans are VERY accomplished musicians. The songs are unreal. They are a jazz influenced, blues band. I am glad this guy Jamel is posting his reactions. One of the greatest bands ever assembled. Fun to see this guy's reaction. Southern Bluesmen with some Bluegrass and Jazz musical influence...with some 60's/70's era hippies flair. Just one of the great band of all time.
21 years old when he recorded this. Gregg had soul to spare. One of the great voices in R&B and Rock & Roll.
Like Otis Redding, he had the hard-earned wisdom of an older man in his voice. Both were barely out of their teens when they started out (and sadly, Otis never had the chance to actually get old).
He gifted his soul to the world before he left. 💔
Check out the live version from Live At The Filmore. The greatest 23 minutes of music you hear
Allman Brothers concerts were never a let down. IMO, the best live show in ANY era. I get chills watching the love you give to this recording. I can close my eyes and see Greg on that keyboard deliver the goods with that iconic voice. I was lucky enough to see them live many times and even in they 2010's they were nothing short of perfection. Bruce Trucks with with prodigal son Derek along with Warren Haynes. My god - the perfect funktified southern soul higher institution of rock. End of story.
There's a reason they were the best live band that ever graced a stage. Same reason why Fillmore East album has been named by the Library of Congress as being culturally or historically important.
The greatest show I’ve ever seen was Gregg Allman opening for SRV. Just an amazing night of music. Love your channel, brother.
Saw that too, summer of '87.
I was there as well, it was just incredible.
I saw that tour. Greg was real good but SRV blew me away! GOAT
Listen to their live at the Fillmore Album, good grief that is so good. The songs sounded even better live and Whipping Post is incredible. But my personal favorite, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is a diamond. It's on my Road Music list, often the first song that's on when I hit the road.
my favorite instrumental ever ... y'oughta hear the 7/4/98 version from Charlotte with Jack Pearson, omg
Live at The Fillmore is I think THE BEST live album ever. I am a 65 year old lady, & The Allman Brothers along with a lot of other music from back then , te best.
Grandpa please tell me about the old days when music was epic!
I like this guy's reaction he's very cool
Yes he is
I don't think I've ever paid this song much attention. Today it made me CRY :'( Thanks as always - in all ways...
Like everyone, he’s shocked to hear the SOUL in Gregg’s voice. The greatest white Blues singer of all time.
Blues singer. Period.
Listen to him with Daryl Hall "at Daryls place"! He also has that blue eyed soul!
Eric Burton, too.
Right on
We have to add Chris Stapleton to the mix now. Of course there is Joe Cocker and Van Morrison.
I love the guitar tone. It always felt like it was “singing”. Such a legendary band.
The 70’s/80’s had the most incredible and amazing music ever! Each song is a full body experience and the concerts....out of this world! Most amazing music is an understatement!💕💕
AMEN.... it was a great time growing up
Duane Allman was one of the best guitarists ever. Legendary. Like so many, died too young. (btw always wear a helmet folks)
Agreed, but it wouldn't have helped him. Bike landed on top of him. He died from internal injuries.
So sad. I wish I could’ve seen him perform. But I was born in 1995😕
@@brownbenplumm9027 I can't tell you how lucky I feel to have been able to see them live in Boston twice before Duane Allman died. Their concerts were just insane.
EdithHead Where did they play? I’m from the greater Boston area. Must’ve been some damn good times
@@brownbenplumm9027 Once was indoors at either the Music Hall or the Orpheum, and the second time was outdoors on Boston Common. It was part of a series called Concerts on the Common, and a band called Wet Willie opened for them. It was on August 17, 1971 (I Googled it), and I sat on the lawn maybe 60' from the stage. Probably paid about $10 for the ticket. How amazing is that? The following October, Duane Allman was killed.
Back in the day "Blue eyed soul" was what Duane was doing there.
Blue eyed soul's what we used to call it. Greg had a root.
You know when a black dude holds up his hand like hes in church, he's feeling it to his soul.
ABB got soul for miles... every live show was great. RIP to the mighty Gregg Allman.
"Whipping Post" is like being dragged over broken glass -- you love it when it's done, but boy does it hurt in the meantime!
Who likes being dragged over broken glass?!
@@orihoola, I don't think I implied that anyone did -- though some folks might enjoy it. What I meant is that Whipping Post takes you to a raw emotional space, which hurts if you empathize with the singer. But like all good blues, it feels so good when the band releases you from that raw space and lets you return to a more normal space.
Jamel, I Love that you can stretch your soul into uncharted genres, and appreciate the love, passion and raw emotion, that so many artists put into their music. You are good for this world! Rock on my Brother!
Well said, Mark. Amen!
Perfectly stated Mark
You really should listen to Boz Scaggs “Loan Me A Dime”.
Indeed, that is the tune that was voted " If I was stranded on an island that is the one song I'd listen to forever" by music fans on KSAN in the Bay Area... Great mention Mike Davis
OMG please listen to that song. Brother Duane's guitar in that song will bring you down to your knees in tears! You say all the time that you love when an artist shows passion. You can FEEL the pain in that song! No lie!
Actually, the song on The Boz Scaggs album that really gets me is “Finding Her”.
Duanes guitar is so subtle and amazing at the same time.
Listen close at the end, it’s the best part!
@@mikedavis1751 There was not a bad cut on that lp .. Finding her is killer and Sweet Release just slays me.. I have just about all Duane's stuff and Allmans except the Arista releases.. Have a good one and jam on!!
Took this man to church!! Love to see it; that’s how music binds us.
Talk about genetics, one family produces one of the greatest blues guitarists and one of the greatest blues voices.
not too mention Dereck Trucks is Butch Trucks nephew.
Butch Trucks uncle was Virgil Trucks - a borderline hall of fame level all-star pitcher who threw two no-hitters in MLB in one season.
You have been baptized in the waters of The Best Damn Band In The Land!
RIP Dickey Betts
This was one of my "therapy songs" when my ex-wife left me, seems I was the only one married. "Whipping Post", Marshall Tucker Band, "Can't you see", they helped me discover other Southern Rock, Rock, and Blues artists, and I learned to let go of my hurt and move on. Music is so therapeutic to me and I am glad you are doing these reactions.
It's because it's cathartic. It allows you to drive the pain out of you.
MTB for sure.
The Allman Brothers Band is the best traveling music ever!
Having listened to the Allmans since high school in the early 70's, there is something wrong with this recording -- there is only ONE guitar and there are TWO in the group, Duane and Dickie Betts. You need another recording, off the Beginnings or Idlewild South albums for the whole effect. The way Duane and Dickie play off each other is magic. That said, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much J.
Midnight Rider and Ramblin' Man!!!
