That is Duane playing the first solo. He also played the beautiful solo on Layla with Eric Clapton. They were very good friends and admired each others guitar playing. A few months before he died Duane and Eric were talking and Duane said," You know Eric I;m almost there, I've almost got this guitar mastered. I don't even have to look anymore I just think of the melody I want to play and my hands just go there and do it," There are even longer and better versions that go 22+ minutes and they really take out into the deep water. But on some versions what will really bake your biscuits is you hear them start right into a 20-30 minute version of Mountain Jam based loosely on the Donavan song "First There Is A Mountain". You can't believe it until you hear it happen. A 22+minute jam followed I mean right now follow by a 20-30 minute jam of another song. So you have a ways to go before you really understand how good these guys were. But your gettin' there. Thanks for doing what you've done it is appreciated.
Allman Brothers formed in Jacksonville Florida. But your just scratching the surface of all of the great Music from there. You should check out the other great acts from there. Trust me ;-). Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird. Molly Hatchet - Fall of the peace makers. JJ Grey and Mofro - Lochloosa ( live ). Blackfoot - Highway Song. 38 Special - Fantasy Girl. Tedeshi Trucks Band - Midnight in Harlem. Shinedown - Simple Man ( Skynyrd Cover ) and The Classics IV - Stormy. Thats one of my fav songs from each band but there is so much more! Take a trip to Jacksonville's music scene. Thanks for all of the great reactions you do!
Allman Brothers are one of my favorite bands. I dig the hell out of your reactions to em. To me they're one of those bands that sounds more in unison with one another then most other bands. Are you on twitter?
This is the original lineup at their peak. I feel blessed that I came up in this era because all the music was such a blend of different styles that it gave me an appreciation of all kinds of music. Peace.
@@blondelebanese9922 I would have said Avicii, but he was taken too soon too :(. Airborne Toxic event comes to mind for a similar style. If you're into something harder try Volbeat or some of Shinedown (tho admittedly they go back and forth between hard and....softer? not sure how to quantify songs like crow chasing the butterfly)
Duane Allman (the first guitarist seen) only lived 24 years, I'll never understand how he got so good so soon, and it's impossible to imagine how much better he would've been had he lived longer. do Stormy Monday from Fillmore East!
If you want to see how Duane would have been if he had lived, you gotta check out Derek Trucks. It's not a 1-1 comparison but his slide playing is almost unbelievably fluid. Tedeschi Trucks Band!
@@bagmanh6120 i agree and have been a huge fan of Derek's for years now, he's the nephew of Allman Bros. drummer Butch Trucks(R.I.P.), and a former Allman Bros. member
The only time I ever went to a concert with a parent was with my father for the Allman Brothers. He liked them even more than I did, knew all of their music, he had all their albums. Yup sometimes parents can be cool.
P.A. Stewart Also have taken my daughters in grown years, to see Jimmie Vaughan at Antone’s but also Amos Lee, Gary Allan, Dale Watson, Kevin Fowler, etc. Also took one daughter and my grandsons to se Los Lonely Boys back in February 2003. They were 8 and 11. We sat where we saw them coming into arena and while they were in VIP. It was about the kids and they especially love Onda. Who wouldn’t?
Duane had done it all by the time he died at the young age of 24. He played with Aretha Franklin, King Curtis, BozSkaggs, Otis Rush, Clarence Carter, Wilson Picket, Lulu, Ronnie Hawkins, Cowboy, Delany and Bonnie, Herbie Mann, Eric Clapton, Derek and the Dominos and so many others. R.I.P. Duane Allman.
Brutha on the drums was Jaimoe Johanson. He played for Otis Redding. I really miss ABB. Skydog was a genius, and Gregg's VOICE! Thankfully, their music lives on.
In 1970 we heard this group called The Allman Brothers was going to play on the lawn at U of Miami, went and from the first sound I was blown away like I never heard music before. Ground breaking to say the least. If you can listen to their final performance from the Beacon
Your reactions are priceless, seeing someone become a fan, with such deep appreciation right before our eyes, for music some of us have listened to for almost 50 years, warms the heart... so cool
Mr.Richard I'm one of them old girls that's been listening to ABB for many moons 57 of em.I luv to c Mr.Jamel enjoying what we grew up jamming to.He has honest reactions!!! HONEST.ANd I for one appreciate the hell out of it.God Bless u sir
Preach. While they are Southern Rock, to me they are an entity unto their own. They put you in a place, time, and headspace that makes it hard to segue from, just like Steely Dan and Pink Floyd.
Dickey would bring the crowd and band to a fever pitch and Duane would fire up the afterburners. Very complex and nuanced rhythmically and deep and wide roots.
The singer is Greg Allman, the blonde guitar player on the Les Paul is Duane Allman. Two drummers driving the beat, two guitar players. God knows how many tons of talent. There is no BS in your reaction. I can see you're feeling it.
Like the "Grateful Dead", They had two drummers playing on two different sets of Drums. Never stepping on each other to be the dominate drummer. It was about the band, not one person. Egos were left in the dressing room.

I've gotta stop holding my breath, during this song. I can't help it. Just when you think you've been delighted, they bring another plate of musical goodies. It's a cornucopia of sounds, feelings, genres, experiences. I love the call and response between Gregg's vocals and Duane's guitar; they talk to each other so well. Whew! I need a nap. I'm exhausted with joy!
Came across your channel today. All the rock music that you are listening to for the first I have been listening to for 30/40 years. Some songs I've listened to thousands of times and they still put a lump in my throat. I feel very lucky to have been a music loving teen in the late 70s and early 80s. A magical time and an era gone by. Rock and roll until I'm dead. I enjoy watching you discover.
The first time I heard this song was covered by a local band I ran lights for back in 1984. The local band did a fantastic job on this. They did the studio version justice. My favorite song by the Allman Brothers. They're taking you to church with the organ, too.
Jaimo! He still plays drums. He’s got his own band and I saw them at The Laidback Fest a year ago or so here in CT along with Peter Wolf, Steve Winwood and Jackson Browne....great show that came out of the players respect for Gregg.
@@jkloftin5872 Duane did, too. He set up and played Otis' "Hay Jude" Muscle Shoals! Duane lit up Sister "A"'s cover of "The Weight" also at Muscle Shoals.
@@westsideflyer7559 , it was Wilson Pickett who did "Hey Jude", not Otis. But Otis manager, Phil Walden, was the man who made things happen so that not only did they come together, but that they became known and eventually flourished. Pickett's version of " Hey Jude" was also where Eric Clapton first heard and appreciated Duane's guitar brilliance, leading Eric to ask him to play on Derek and the Dominos "Layla" album.
One of the best live albums ever. An old music executive told me this performance changed the rock industry because NY had gotten into heroin rock where everything was moody and overly loose. Everyone in the NY industry was there this night and heard how great having new rock so dialed in and tight was.
I've heard of these guys but never gotten acquainted until your reactions. So glad I'm getting to appreciate them now. These guys know how to JAM! As someone famous once said, "My damn!" Lol😉
I can still remember pulling up to a stop sign in the SFV of L.A. when a dj reported that Dwayne had been killed in a motorcycle accident. At that time I didn't know the bros from each other. Just that I loved their music. IIRC I was in my 65 GTO?
Duane Allman, the lead/slide guitarist, also worked as a studio musician. He played with the likes of Clarence Carter, King Curtis, Aretha Franklin, Laura Nyro, Wilson Pickett, Otis Rush, Percy Sledge, Johnny Jenkins, Boz Scaggs, Delaney & Bonnie, Doris Duke and jazz flautist Herbie Mann. And all of this before he died at the age of 24. Just amazing.
I never get tired of watching and listening to Jaimoe and Butch Trucks playing together. Butch was the freight train, thundering away on the beat, while Jaimoe played all around the beat, adding the syncopated fills and grace notes. There’s nothing in the world as amazing as hearing the Allmans in full cry.
I live in the NYC area so I would make the annual March Madness visit to the Beacon Theater for a show or 2 or 3 every year in the 2000's . When I was in the Beacon's Loge or Balcony I would always watch Jaimoe's playing because you really have to watch what he's doing , which often "looked" like what he's doing shouldn't "fit" what the band was playing , yet it ALWAYS did fit !
Best live album ever. FIlmore East, NYC, and I was 18 years old. Spectacular. Sophisticated music, incredible percussive drive from the two drummers and a bass line to die for. Loved your reaction to Dickie Betts (the second guitarist). Imagine, that guy was the SECOND best guitarist in the band.
Instrument for instrument, perhaps the most talented and gifted band in rock history, and they were the first "American" rock band to ever incorporate the use of double drummers, where both Butch Trucks and Jaimoe excelled in keeping the rhythm section tight as hell. Berry Oakley an incredible bass player, Greg Allman I've said many times the greatest white blues singer ever, and if ever there was a more formidable combination of dual guitarists this talented in Duane Allman & Dickey Betts in another band anywhere, I can't remember it, and I'm pretty fucking old now. Bandleader Duane Allman knew the talent that had come together in that band. That's why after the first time they had all jammed together for a number of hours, Duane Allman walked over to the door, spread his arms across the entrance, and told all the brothers that if anyone there didn't want to be in his band they were gonna have to fight their way out of the room through him. That story has been told by one or more of the brothers for many years.
You should check out probably their greatest instrumental, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, also from the Fillmore concerts. There's not really a good live video performance that was ever captured, just listen the At Fillmore East audio recording. It's jazz, blues, and rock all perfectly incorporated into one great song. And, it's got a great solo from Gregg on your favorite instrument, the Church Organ! th-cam.com/video/7rQWh62VUHE/w-d-xo.html
so nice to see how many people are touched by this band, they were special, beautiful, magic, entrancing,......in 1971 my friend brought over an album "Allman Brothers band Live at the Fillmore East. I couldn't believe it, it was astonishing, I was so taken by it, a year later i bought my first electric guitar from Whalen's sound city on sunset boulevard, across from the store that would become the first guitar center. Mesmerizing band, truly dream-like, how lucky they were recorded here and there.......they now can play forever....................doug p.s. wow the video was great! music synced with the moving pictures........
#OldWhiteLady from South Alabama here again, hey Jamal! I love watching you enjoy the old classics! This really took me back. Thank you! As always ❤from South Alabama
I was such a big fan of these guys back in the day. I saw them 3 times before Duane died, once after with The Grateful Dead. They were exciting, dynamic and so much fun to watch. The only guys in the band remaining are Jamoe on drums and Dickie Betts, the second guitarist. RIP Duane, Greg, Butch and Berry. We still miss you. Try these guys doing "Don't Keep Me Wondering", "Statesboro Blues (the live version), and "Mountain Jam. I was there for this filming which was going to be a WNET special which was never aired. Also on the program that night was The Byrds, Van Morrison, The Flock (I think), Elvin Bishop and Sha-Na-Na. I remember the Fillmore was lit up like it had never been before and the tickets were something like $2.50, far cheaper than the norm because WNET was footing the bill. You should give a listen to Van Morrison doing "Moondance", "Gypsy Queen", "Crazy Love", "Domino", and "Tupelo Honey". Also give a long listen to The Elvin Bishop Band doing "Fooled Around And Fell In Love".
This show was epic! Musically historical! You should react to "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" from this same show. One of the greatest instrumental performances of all time! You'll love it!
Saw an interview with Bill Bob Thorton and he said the two most influential bands were the Beatles and the Almond Brothers that both created a sound that no one else was doing. I agree with him
Harry B yet ABB are so fuckin underrated outside the south , it burns my soul when I hear them and still a lot of people don’t know about them , this is why I don’t like about the new generation( I am one of them too ) , this is why the world is at a wrong route , listening to Ariana grande , Selena Gomez , the Lils and the pussies , ppl are not appreciating lyrics as much as the sound behind how can they not be touched by the lyrics of these gods , the titans , all hail ABB
that's jai johanny johanson on the skins - the original drummer and the best. saw them at madison square garden in 1971 with all the original members. one of the top 3 concerts of my life. 18 years old and lovin' every minute of it.
I was lucky enough to see ABB live several times in 69 & 70 when Duane was alive. In over 50 years of concerts no act was as exciting, mesmerizing, as accomplished as ABB, including Dylan, Springsteen, the Dead, Led Zeppelin, many others. By the time of this live album they had toured constantly for two years. Like the Beatles, they were. an accomplished complete band. RIP Duane, Berry, Greg, Butch.
The Fillmore East was like a musical Mecca for people who were able to experience it. Run by Bill Graham, he would put on shows where great historical blues and jazz artists would be paired with rock bands to expose the young audience to great music in all of its forms. I used to work next door at 103 2nd Avenue when I lived in NYC.
As I mentioned in another post back in the day at the Fillmore East they would have 3 bands a show, 2 shows a night. Ticket prices $2.50, $3.50,$4.50.if you went to both shows you would go in to the first show around seven thirty and come out of the second show around five in the morning for five dollars ( yea, you read that right, five dollars). You could see NRPS , Grateful Dead, Allman Bro’s. all night long for the price of an ice cream cone! Those days regrettably are gone forever.
I went to many, many concerts put on by Bill Graham Presents. Lived in the greater Bay Area, so got to see many of the greats (anyone remember Days on the Green?). And unfortunately, Bill died too soon in a helicopter crash. Why do so many greats die in plane or helicopter crashes?
In fact when Graham made the decision to close The Filmores band were clamoring to play but Graham one band, the Brothers, to play all three nights. It was a momentous decision captured for all time. So grateful.
13:37 The back and forth between a vocalist and an instrument (or sometimes multiple instruments, like in jazz) is referred to as "call and response". Led Zeppelin did that more than most rock bands. Edit - edited for timestamp.
Pygmies South West congo did.call and response. Instrument rot in rainforest. Jah Herb Jah love Jah Jerry Jah rastafari praises blessings respectfully Jah Duane Jah sisters Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️
Did you ever think you could spend a night listening to the blues and feel fantastic afterwards? That was the effect the ABs had. They were really a live jam band who did some recordings. The vibe at their concerts was like nothing else during those days, all good clean positive energy.
The transitions from Duane to Dickie's lead lines are seamless. And when they both play the same line in thirds or fifths, well, that's the definition of the Allman Brothers sound.
Glad you enjoyed it! I've followed them since '71. As excellent as this one is, it is not from their "Live at Fillmore East" album (they played Fillmore a lot). The album version, recorded March '71, has no video I'm aware of, but in my opinion is much better and is around 22 minutes... Both guitarists played with much intensity and feeling - Duane was like Coltrane with sheets of sound raining down, while Dickey was more lyrical and melodic much like Miles Davis.
Try this. The Allman Brothers were inspired by Quicksilver Messenger Service. Here they do a Bo Diddly song, Mona. th-cam.com/video/3vu_hiGOrRI/w-d-xo.html
Now you HAVE to react to their performance of "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" from the same concert! Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/hd66VD1zm9M/w-d-xo.html
Do Layla by Derek & the Dominoes (aka Eric Clapton) as Duane Allman supplied a lot of the licks on that song........album is Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs
They were my and my late husbands favorite group! We followed them from the beginning and loved everything that they put out. One of our favorite songs was Melissa ❤️.
At their BEST!! You MUST hear Santana at Woodstock, Soul Sacrifice, you won't be sorry man,Mercy! Btw I've seen many and dude you are the best and my favorite reaction poster, no lie.
Did ya see the white drummer? That's Butch Trucks, uncle of a certain Derek Trucks, who would later take one of the lead guitar positions in the band 30 years later in 1999. Derek would later marry Susan Tedeschi, and form the Tedeschi Trucks band.

I was 13 years old when they did this concert. I was lucky enough to see them August 27, 1981 at Poplar Creek Music Theater. It was an awesome birthday present! Thank you for another great reaction ♡
I saw them when word was just beginning to spread as to how bad #$$ this band was... at a time when we bought tickets..arrived at a 200 seat auditorium..walked on in because no one was at the door to take our tickets..., walked down to the front row of wooden chairs that were 3 feet from this little elementary school sized stage.....and listened to THIS! They played to maybe 100 of us and played it hard..as if there were thousands of us!! They WERE chilled..and after playing for a long time,., they took a break, sat down on the floor in the back corner of that small stage..lit up there "herbs", as did we, accepted some brews from someone in our midst...rehydrated themselves..got even more chilled... got back to their instruments and played for ANOTHER I don't know how long. Afterwards, they all piled into the back of a station wagon and left us standing there in the dark, in the snow...feeling like we'd been rode hard and put up wet...wanting more!! Most amazing! Within the year, they WERE playing to thousands. The year after that, Duane left this world, followed by Berry in the same way, and almost in the same location. Best southern rock band to ever do it, and I was there to witness and experience it live and in my face!! Greatest birthday gift I ever recieved!! Thanks for the reaction..and apologize for going on and on, but that was a once in a lifetime unforgettable experience. Love their music thru all space and time!
This guy has world class reaction factor !!! You cant do this with only one drummer. That double drummer bottom fills up the sound. He is so right, this band is so tight !!... I am now convinced that the Allman bros gave Lynyrd Skynyrd the multiple lead guitar idea.
These Southern Hippies were the best. They didnt even realize they started a new genre of music called Southern Rock
The Allman Bros. were more a blues band than anything.
They spawned southern Rock but they were blues,and jazz influenced.Gregg Allman hated the word southern rock
Bikers not hippies. Great either way.
It was NOT southern rock...it was blues influenced by British rock.
blueyzblue 100% agree! Like George Clinton once said “White boys got the blues”!

Sometimes wonder if we don't give Dickie enuff credit, Duane's shadow was mighty wide and never went away... he stood toe to toe on this stage..

Sad to know Duane would be gone 7 months later. RIP SKYDOG. Thank you for leaving the greatest live album ever recorded
Nope. This was from 1970. Not from At Fillmore East.
Dickey Betts and Duane Allman trading guitar licks with Gregg Allman singing his heart out, can't get much better!
And Gregg on the organ is such a integral part of their jams, it just rounds out the sound. Often forgotten.
Dickey would bring the crowd and band to a fever pitch and Duane would fire up the afterburners. Very complex and nuanced rhythmically and deep and wide roots.
Let's not forget Jaimoe, Butch and Berry. These guys were a powerhouse.
I saw this particular configuration twice in 1970, the second time from 20 feet away. I haven't been right since...

One of the best live albums ever. An old music executive told me this performance changed the rock industry because NY had gotten into heroin rock where everything was moody and overly loose. Everyone in the NY industry was there this night and heard how great having new rock so dialed in and tight was.
If you liked that, you should check out Little Feat 'Dixie Chicken'.' But make sure it has the original lead singer Lowell George.
Also can't forget " Fat man in the bathtub"
#RIPLowell
Definitely LITTLE FEAT "Dixie Chicken", also - "Time(live)" by the Chamber's Brothers!!!!
I've heard of these guys but never gotten acquainted until your reactions. So glad I'm getting to appreciate them now. These guys know how to JAM! As someone famous once said, "My damn!" Lol😉
I can still remember pulling up to a stop sign in the SFV of L.A. when a dj reported that Dwayne had been killed in a motorcycle accident. At that time I didn't know the bros from each other. Just that I loved their music. IIRC I was in my 65 GTO?
You should also listen to Marshall Tucker Band and some .38 Special. Allman Bros. we're the best but the other two had some good songs you'd like.
Any band can sound good in studio. The real talent kicks it Live!
You gotta do the Allmans - One Way Out - at Fillmore East! Thank U!
Duane Allman, the lead/slide guitarist, also worked as a studio musician. He played with the likes of Clarence Carter, King Curtis, Aretha Franklin, Laura Nyro, Wilson Pickett, Otis Rush, Percy Sledge, Johnny Jenkins, Boz Scaggs, Delaney & Bonnie, Doris Duke and jazz flautist Herbie Mann. And all of this before he died at the age of 24. Just amazing.
I think you’d love the early 70’s live version of Chicago’s ‘25 or 6 to 4”...
Terry Kath 😎
Yes, this. The live version is this. Terry Kath gets overlooked.
Have you checked out that Russian band that covers Chicago? Leonid and Friends. Bad Ass shit- th-cam.com/video/9_torOTK5qc/w-d-xo.html
@@barrycohen311 Thx man. These dudes are great!
MargaretAnn Stewart yes, we know. I had just suggested the band and the song as one to review in the future.
I never get tired of watching and listening to Jaimoe and Butch Trucks playing together. Butch was the freight train, thundering away on the beat, while Jaimoe played all around the beat, adding the syncopated fills and grace notes. There’s nothing in the world as amazing as hearing the Allmans in full cry.
I live in the NYC area so I would make the annual March Madness visit to the Beacon Theater for a show or 2 or 3 every year in the 2000's . When I was in the Beacon's Loge or Balcony I would always watch Jaimoe's playing because you really have to watch what he's doing , which often "looked" like what he's doing shouldn't "fit" what the band was playing , yet it ALWAYS did fit !
There is only one thing as amazing.
Nice break down clamp down Babylon Jah Herb Jah love Jah Jerry Jah rastafari praises blessings respectfully Jah Duane Jah sisters Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️
Best live album ever. FIlmore East, NYC, and I was 18 years old. Spectacular. Sophisticated music, incredible percussive drive from the two drummers and a bass line to die for. Loved your reaction to Dickie Betts (the second guitarist). Imagine, that guy was the SECOND best guitarist in the band.
Allman Bros were the ultimate jam session band. They could take a five minute song, and jam it out for half an hour. RIP Greg and Duane 🎸☮️🙏
So could Rare Earth...
heard them around 1970 do a long jam of Donovan's "Mountain song", it was epic.
"First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is..." Donovan
Instrument for instrument, perhaps the most talented and gifted band in rock history, and they were the first "American" rock band to ever incorporate the use of double drummers, where both Butch Trucks and Jaimoe excelled in keeping the rhythm section tight as hell. Berry Oakley an incredible bass player, Greg Allman I've said many times the greatest white blues singer ever, and if ever there was a more formidable combination of dual guitarists this talented in Duane Allman & Dickey Betts in another band anywhere, I can't remember it, and I'm pretty fucking old now. Bandleader Duane Allman knew the talent that had come together in that band. That's why after the first time they had all jammed together for a number of hours, Duane Allman walked over to the door, spread his arms across the entrance, and told all the brothers that if anyone there didn't want to be in his band they were gonna have to fight their way out of the room through him. That story has been told by one or more of the brothers for many years.
You should check out probably their greatest instrumental, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, also from the Fillmore concerts. There's not really a good live video performance that was ever captured, just listen the At Fillmore East audio recording. It's jazz, blues, and rock all perfectly incorporated into one great song. And, it's got a great solo from Gregg on your favorite instrument, the Church Organ! th-cam.com/video/7rQWh62VUHE/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely agree. In fact, I just played it after watching this video.
Anything from Fillmore is awesome.
Live At The Fillmore...my desert island album...best live album ever! Especially love In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, still puts me in a trance!
That one was 22+ minutes and unreal
Hands down.
so nice to see how many people are touched by this band, they were special, beautiful, magic, entrancing,......in 1971 my friend brought over an album "Allman Brothers band Live at the Fillmore East. I couldn't believe it, it was astonishing, I was so taken by it, a year later i bought my first electric guitar from Whalen's sound city on sunset boulevard, across from the store that would become the first guitar center. Mesmerizing band, truly dream-like, how lucky they were recorded here and there.......they now can play forever....................doug p.s. wow the video was great! music synced with the moving pictures........
#OldWhiteLady from South Alabama here again, hey Jamal! I love watching you enjoy the old classics! This really took me back. Thank you!
As always ❤from South Alabama
👋🏾🧔🏾
Cyndi Jones , I'm in LA too. ; )
I saw them back in 1970. They were amazing. That was before Duane Allman and Berry Oakley died. The best concert I have ever seen
SOUTHERN ROCK BABYYYYYY🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🔥🔥
Please, please One Way Out, live at Fillmore. They show the infamous coriciden bottle used as a slide by Duane.
Check out the Slide king, played with Eric Clapton on Layla.. Mr. Duane Allman
I've seen this many times. One of the best live performances ever. I love the Allman Brothers. Best blues band.
The Allman Brothers Band is the Avengers of Southern Rock. Every member is a superhero in his own right
Duane Allman is in my top 5 guitarist, Greg Allman is in my top 5 singer, and Allman Brothers are in my top 4.
I was such a big fan of these guys back in the day. I saw them 3 times before Duane died, once after with The Grateful Dead. They were exciting, dynamic and so much fun to watch. The only guys in the band remaining are Jamoe on drums and Dickie Betts, the second guitarist. RIP Duane, Greg, Butch and Berry. We still miss you. Try these guys doing "Don't Keep Me Wondering", "Statesboro Blues (the live version), and "Mountain Jam. I was there for this filming which was going to be a WNET special which was never aired. Also on the program that night was The Byrds, Van Morrison, The Flock (I think), Elvin Bishop and Sha-Na-Na. I remember the Fillmore was lit up like it had never been before and the tickets were something like $2.50, far cheaper than the norm because WNET was footing the bill. You should give a listen to Van Morrison doing "Moondance", "Gypsy Queen", "Crazy Love", "Domino", and "Tupelo Honey". Also give a long listen to The Elvin Bishop Band doing "Fooled Around And Fell In Love".
you definitly have to see the live version of Mountain Jam
This show was epic! Musically historical! You should react to "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" from this same show. One of the greatest instrumental performances of all time! You'll love it!
Hands down!
Saw an interview with Bill Bob Thorton and he said the two most influential bands were the Beatles and the Almond Brothers that both created a sound that no one else was doing. I agree with him
Harry B yet ABB are so fuckin underrated outside the south , it burns my soul when I hear them and still a lot of people don’t know about them , this is why I don’t like about the new generation( I am one of them too ) , this is why the world is at a wrong route , listening to Ariana grande , Selena Gomez , the Lils and the pussies , ppl are not appreciating lyrics as much as the sound behind how can they not be touched by the lyrics of these gods , the titans , all hail ABB
the Beatles later years were really good stuff
Soulful great music dosen’t have a color.
It’s just soulful awesome amazing music🎸🎸🎸🎸
still gonna do midnight rider bro? lol
Yes.... we need some Midnight Rider ! 😎🎸
This is considered by many to be the greatest live performance of all time.
ABB known for jamming for 2 hours and only playing 5 songs.😂
This jam is still going on in the great gig in the sky.
The "Infamous" Dickey Betts- Amazing! I was blessed to grow up in this era!
It’s amazing how the two drummers were in synch with each other, every beat.
that's jai johanny johanson on the skins - the original drummer and the best. saw them at madison square garden in 1971 with all the original members. one of the top 3 concerts of my life. 18 years old and lovin' every minute of it.
The brother (Jaimoe) is only one of two still alive! God my dad introduced me to the BEST music!!
One of the greatest bands ever. I’m so glad to see the younger generation like the music from mine.
Straight. Fire.
I guess I'm grateful that they captured it, but their filming was terrible back then.
I was lucky enough to see ABB live several times in 69 & 70 when Duane was alive. In over 50 years of concerts no act was as exciting, mesmerizing, as accomplished as ABB, including Dylan, Springsteen, the Dead, Led Zeppelin, many others. By the time of this live album they had toured constantly for two years. Like the Beatles, they were.
an accomplished complete band. RIP Duane, Berry, Greg, Butch.
The Fillmore East was like a musical Mecca for people who were able to experience it. Run by Bill Graham, he would put on shows where great historical blues and jazz artists would be paired with rock bands to expose the young audience to great music in all of its forms. I used to work next door at 103 2nd Avenue when I lived in NYC.
You were lucky! I'm so jealous.
As I mentioned in another post back in the day at the Fillmore East they would have 3 bands a show, 2 shows a night. Ticket prices $2.50, $3.50,$4.50.if you went to both shows you would go in to the first show around seven thirty and come out of the second show around five in the morning for five dollars ( yea, you read that right, five dollars). You could see NRPS , Grateful Dead, Allman Bro’s. all night long for the price of an ice cream cone! Those days regrettably are gone forever.
I went to many, many concerts put on by Bill Graham Presents. Lived in the greater Bay Area, so got to see many of the greats (anyone remember Days on the Green?). And unfortunately, Bill died too soon in a helicopter crash. Why do so many greats die in plane or helicopter crashes?
Yup- I had the same experiences at Fillmore West ! BillGraham would say good night to everyone leaving and hand out crispy apples.
In fact when Graham made the decision to close The Filmores band were clamoring to play but Graham one band, the Brothers, to play all three nights. It was a momentous decision captured for all time. So grateful.
I am always amazed by the fact that the band had two guitars, one bassist and two drummers!!
Incredible!
Allman brothers band- soulshine live from the beacon 2003 , music perfection
I was there!!!!!
My dawg!muthafuckin Allman brothers....floridas finest....we still need that SUICIDAL TENDENCIES tho brah...fire
13:37 The back and forth between a vocalist and an instrument (or sometimes multiple instruments, like in jazz) is referred to as "call and response".
Led Zeppelin did that more than most rock bands.
Edit - edited for timestamp.
Call and Response comes out of traditional African music. Africans brought it with them and made it an important part of many American musical styles.
The history of good music in America can so often be traced back to this source.
Pygmies South West congo did.call and response. Instrument rot in rainforest. Jah Herb Jah love Jah Jerry Jah rastafari praises blessings respectfully Jah Duane Jah sisters Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️
The greatest guitar player of all time. Hands down. Duane Allman. RIP to my hero!!!
Did you ever think you could spend a night listening to the blues and feel fantastic afterwards? That was the effect the ABs had. They were really a live jam band who did some recordings. The vibe at their concerts was like nothing else during those days, all good clean positive energy.
Lordy Jamal u picked a winner...true musicians at there best👏👏
The transitions from Duane to Dickie's lead lines are seamless. And when they both play the same line in thirds or fifths, well, that's the definition of the Allman Brothers sound.
Listen to Mountain Jam off Eat a Peach album
Again ; Sounds like that good ol' Delta dirt road blues...❤️❤️🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
This is where the Allman Brothers brought the blues to the level of high art. Incomparable. 👍👍
Singing like that at around 19 years old
Glad you enjoyed it! I've followed them since '71. As excellent as this one is, it is not from their "Live at Fillmore East" album (they played Fillmore a lot). The album version, recorded March '71, has no video I'm aware of, but in my opinion is much better and is around 22 minutes...
Both guitarists played with much intensity and feeling - Duane was like Coltrane with sheets of sound raining down, while Dickey was more lyrical and melodic much like Miles Davis.
Please react to Allman Brothers, Into the mystic live Orpheum Theater Boston MA. You are guaranteed to absolutely love it.
Did I detect a voice in there, my man?...Sound good!..If you're not out there, in a band, you should get with one...I hear some chops!
I use to sing in the choir in Junior high school🤣
@@jamelakajamal Should get back to it...I only heard a little bit, but I have a pretty good ear.
I agree, I've heard him sing a few times too.
Allman Brothers Blues Band - Melissa - Acoustic - Live
Try this. The Allman Brothers were inspired by Quicksilver Messenger Service. Here they do a Bo Diddly song, Mona. th-cam.com/video/3vu_hiGOrRI/w-d-xo.html
Listen to Allman Bros: "Dreams", Filmore East also "Jelly"
Now you HAVE to react to their performance of "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" from the same concert!
Here's the link:
th-cam.com/video/hd66VD1zm9M/w-d-xo.html
Dickie Betts is masterful on this!
Told ya that they would melt ya face. 🎸🎸🎸🎸😁👍👍🤘🤘😁🤘
Now do The Band because they lead the way for The Allman Brothers.
Do Layla by Derek & the Dominoes (aka Eric Clapton) as Duane Allman supplied a lot of the licks on that song........album is Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs
They were my and my late husbands favorite group! We followed them from the beginning and loved everything that they put out. One of our favorite songs was Melissa ❤️.
So neat that you two shared such a love for music. :)
At their BEST!! You MUST hear Santana at Woodstock, Soul Sacrifice, you won't be sorry man,Mercy! Btw I've seen many and dude you are the best and my favorite reaction poster, no lie.
Did ya see the white drummer? That's Butch Trucks, uncle of a certain Derek Trucks, who would later take one of the lead guitar positions in the band 30 years later in 1999. Derek would later marry Susan Tedeschi, and form the Tedeschi Trucks band.
Yes I saw him I was just wondering what instrument the Black Guy was playing when I saw them on the Album cover
fordp69 thanks for the tip...had no idea that was Uncle.
@@jamelakajamal No worries, I was just pointing out some trivia. I'm trying to remember if you've done anything with Derek in it.
Please please please check out ALLMAN BROTHERS HITTIN THE NOTE ALBUM.
I KNOW ITS NOT DUANE BUT PLEASE CHECK IT OUT THE SONGS WOMAN ACROSS THE RIVER. HIGH COST OF LIVING AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO A REACTION VIDEO ON ALLMAN BROTHERS OLD FRIEND.
THIS ALBUM CAME OUT IN 2003 I AM PRETTY SURE AND IF YOU WOULD CHECK OUT GOVT.MULE SLACKJAW JEZEBEL. WARREN HAYNES SAME MAN WHO PLAYED FOR THE ALLMAN BROTHERS ON HITTING THE NOTE
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO THESE ON REACTION VIDEO. LOVE YOU BROTHER
I love your face. Great job! Keep'um coming!
Wait !!! Hold On !!! This band had 2 drum sets Rollin ??? After ALL these years I just found that out through this reaction.! Who knew
I was 13 years old when they did this concert. I was lucky enough to see them August 27, 1981 at Poplar Creek Music Theater. It was an awesome birthday present! Thank you for another great reaction ♡
Thank you for watching🙏🏾
I saw them when word was just beginning to spread as to how bad #$$ this band was... at a time when we bought tickets..arrived at a 200 seat auditorium..walked on in because no one was at the door to take our tickets..., walked down to the front row of wooden chairs that were 3 feet from this little elementary school sized stage.....and listened to THIS! They played to maybe 100 of us and played it hard..as if there were thousands of us!! They WERE chilled..and after playing for a long time,., they took a break, sat down on the floor in the back corner of that small stage..lit up there "herbs", as did we, accepted some brews from someone in our midst...rehydrated themselves..got even more chilled... got back to their instruments and played for ANOTHER I don't know how long. Afterwards, they all piled into the back of a station wagon and left us standing there in the dark, in the snow...feeling like we'd been rode hard and put up wet...wanting more!! Most amazing! Within the year, they WERE playing to thousands. The year after that, Duane left this world, followed by Berry in the same way, and almost in the same location. Best southern rock band to ever do it, and I was there to witness and experience it live and in my face!! Greatest birthday gift I ever recieved!! Thanks for the reaction..and apologize for going on and on, but that was a once in a lifetime unforgettable experience. Love their music thru all space and time!
Good Lawd!!!!
👍🏾🤣
This guy has world class reaction factor !!! You cant do this with only one drummer. That double drummer bottom fills up the sound. He is so right, this band is so tight !!... I am now convinced that the Allman bros gave Lynyrd Skynyrd the multiple lead guitar idea.
