Duane Allman.. 24 years old or younger when this was recorded. Tragically died in his mid 20's. Can you imagine what a talent that never really was allowed to grow?.. So sad. but the music is there to Enjoy !
My Mom is from a small town in Alabama and married my Louisville born and raised Dad when they were both at the University of Alabama. Her parents definitely thought he was a Yankee. 😊
The amazing part of this is the fact that Gregg was 21-22 years old when they recorded this. Hell, all of them were early-mid 20's. Without ABB, Southern Rock may not even be a thing today.
In the documentary Muscle Shoals (on TH-cam) one of the studio musicians tells the story of how Duane Allman reworked Hey, Jude for Wilson Pickett. Duane does a thrilling guitar fill at the end, "...and suddenly there was Southern rock."
@@merrillhess5626 was. MUSCLE SHOALS ALABAMA the first place PLAce. GREGG AND Cher got it on she and Sony got here after the Stones had left town so there was plenty of time for hanky panky! 😅.
Anyone here from the U.K.?If so, is it just myself who didn't know of their existence?This band seems extremely well-known by people in the comments from U.S.Anyone enlighten me?
I'm not from the UK but I'm shocked to hear that you never heard of The Allman Brothers. Perhaps it's a generational thing? They came out in the late 60s and became one of the most iconic American bands in rock music history. Their style is usually labeled as "southern rock" but, truthfully, they were so much more than that. They had elements of blues, soul r&b, country, and jazz. The Allman Brothers were known for some of the most incredible live performances, where they showed a mastery for jamming improvisations. Highly recommend you check them out.
@@lindazee Thank you for that information.Have just done some more investigating and found out,'Ramblin Man' was the most popular song here in the U.K. and having listened to it, have indeed heard it before ! Didn't recognise the name ,and it's not something that's heard frequently,at least by myself,over here.Will listen to more of them.Thanks for going to the trouble to reply.
🦋 ❤ the Allman Brothers Band! My favorite song is "Midnight Rider" Awesome Reaction to this Jam Guys! 🤘😏 I have all these Vinyl Albums Also! And You guys are not far from where I live. Here in West Virginia! 🎶🤘😏🎶
Oh baby! Gregg Allmann…and the brothers. It cannot be topped in the sexy guitar that thrashes in this song, and his voice as well is just sexy as fuck!…they are just bad ass altogether. As far as the song, my closest friends are men, and they have said this song is how they have felt. Couldn’t let go of one specific part of that woman, so they took it til it couldn’t be handled anymore! And I’m used to the sports references at this point…used to bug me, but I’m passed it. Love you boys too much to not watch over sports analogies.
Jaimo. Jay-Mo. One of the two drummers. Butch Trucks son is Derek Trucks and he and his wife are the Tedeschi Trucks band. Awesome The Fillmore album you can see whose playing what, when and Duane is on it a lot. wow.
One of the greatest vocals I've heard. He not only sings it, he drives the music...a mixture of blues, jazz, country and rock and anything else that was hanging around at the time.
So much soul in this Band's music. They are simply the greatest Blues / Rock Band ever. I first heard them in 1971 during my tour in Vietnam. Ironically, it was a couple of my Black Buddies in my platoon that turned me on to these guys. Man these songs bring back a lot of memories from back then.
WOW 😳 I really thought you guys would LOVE this song, especially because of the bluesiness of it and Gregg Allman's incredible voice. I'm kinda shocked, actually, that neither Ryan nor Ty were really into it. Even Nick being the most positive one about it is like, It's aight.
there were 2 drummers . They would play at the old Fillmore West 'til the wee hours , great jams .Duane Allman played slide in the song Layla with Eric Clapton.
I'm even further away from the Deep South - in the UK - and I've been listening to the Allman Brothers and other southern rock bands, like Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Atlanta Rhythm Section since the early 70s. [p.s. my musical taste is very eclectic - prog rock being a staple for me, but also jazz, jazz rock, classical, hip hop, heavy metal and motown, but Southern rock will always be in my collection].
A few months ago 1bigrowdy mentioned nephew Derek Trucks, who founded Tedeschi Trucks Band. You absolutely have to check them out!!! Derek's wife, Susan, has amazing vocals! Very popular is "Midnight in Harlem" and my favorite "Learn How to Love."
The best is watching their live version at Fillmore East where they do jam. The guitars, two drummers, Gregg on organ and vocals. The long hair, dress but most of all watching them up close squeeze everything they can out of their instruments. Enjoyed your reaction. I don't know if Gregg ever learned. He was married to Cher for awhile if that helps.
As many have suggested, check out Live at Fillmore East, especially the video. THIS voice comes from a very young, very blonde, Gregg Allman. Instead of sounding like he's 21, he sounds 45!! WHAT A VOICE!!
Gregg is vocalist and organ and was married 7 times so he definitely figured out how to quit being whipped! Love The Brothers I found them when I was 17 am now 70 and still listen to them ever day!!👍✌
Gregg, it was my greatest pleasure, being a woman and playing the blues with you in my early 20's in Little Five Points GA. I know you're still pissed I didn't sell you my Les Paul guitar, lol... RIP brother. ... I love how younger generations are appreciating this music. It's just great music guys and had so much instrumentation that was so unique to their music. Thank you so much for making this video an exposing others to this kind of music.
The first thing you think of when you think of Jacksonville SHOULD be Lynyrd Skynyrd. ; ) Guitarist Derek Trucks (see Tedeschi Trucks Band) is Butch Trucks' nephew and also lives in Jacksonville.
I was thinking you guys might know Butch Truck's nephew, guitarist Derek Trucks. If not, check out the Tedeschi Trucks Band, one of the best bands currently touring.
I believe this is the first version of this song. It is only about five minutes long whereas the Fillmore East live version is over twenty minutes in length. The Fillmore East is a double album with Whipping Post taking up one entire side. This is certainly, if not the first, then one of the first "jam bands". On the "Eat A Peach" double album two sides were called "Mountain Jam".
Gregg Allman said that The Allman Brothers were a Rock Band from the South, not a Southern Rock Band. I believe they are the first band to be called 'Southern Rock'. .... A follower since 1970! Jazz, Blues, Soul, Rock Fusion! GREAT MUSICIANS!
The absolute greatest American band ever. Survived everything a band could, and always outshined every other. Gregg has a once in a lifetime voice, and his writing ability was on par with no one else. The catalog is immense, and not a bad song on any album. Live at the Filmore East, is regarded as the single greatest LIVE album ever. And that's to this very day.
Alman Brothers are a progressive blurs band. They did not claim Southern Rock. Caught them at The Lou-ah-vull Palace, mid nineties. Highest alcohol sales at that venue to that point in time, IIRC.
I saw them for the first time in 1974 I was 15. My older brother came by my moms house and told me get in the van were going to Jersey to see the Allman Brothers. As we pulled away my mom was yelling he's to young to go with you! Lol she knew what was gonna go on on the trip and the concert! When we got there they were about to play whipping post and Greg prefaced the song by saying this is a Swedish wedding song! Lol those were the days fellas!
Crocodile Dundee on the right needs to stick to Miley Cyrus. The ABB is one of the greatest blues-rock bands ever. Duane a top 5 guitarist, Dickey a top 50 guitarist, and Gregg had a top voice in rock. They were all younger than 25 here, Gregg 21. Just Amazing.
Southern rock. According to Gregg Allman, that's doubling up. All rock is Southern. That's where rock came from. Elvis, Jerry Lee, Little Richard all were from the South, and so were the Allman brothers Band. One exception, Berry Oakley was originally from Chicago, but he immigrated and was playing with Southern bands before the Allmans. Gregg was not one of the founders of the band. It was Duane. He brought them together and called for Gregg to come back from CA to do the singing. Over 40 years of material came from this band in several different member makeups. Live recordings show their true abilities...and anyone else's really.
The live version of this song is absolutely one of the most amazing examples of musical stamina and creation you'll ever hear. The ebb and flow of emotion and expression is incredible. To top it off, at the very end of the song they go right into Mountain Jam --so they played for a solid hour.
Some of the finest music ever…a real guitar army. They had a live album called “ Live at Fillmore East” that is one of the best selling of all time.They always had two drummers that were so synchronized they sounded like one…
cannot believe you listened to the studio version instead of Live at The Fillmore BUT... you did get to hear the second best version of this song ever.
I think, that it's good to listen to each version, since the lyrics are easier to understand in the studio version. Also, when listening to the live version, people should watch the video of it as well.
They are actually from Tennessee. RIP Gregg Allman, Duane Allman, Berry Oakley and Butch Trucks. Still alive are Dickey Betts and Jaimoe Johansen. Great live version of this from Fillmore East, 1970.
Gregg & Duane were from Tennessee but moved away in their preteen years. The Allman Brothers Band was headquartered in Macon, GA, so Macon claims them.
You definitely have a Southern accent. My grandparents lived in Vienna, IL. (across the Ohio River from Paducah). Everyone had the same accent as you three... Being from Chicago area, it is definitely Southern. 😄
So you listened to the whole thing and failed to notice Duane Allman considered one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived 😱nor did you pick up the dual guitars , and they were considered jazz fusion rock
They just don’t make music like this anymore. No auto tune, no nothing. Just pure talent. It’s the quintessential sound of southern rock. Love it.
Duane Allman.. 24 years old or younger when this was recorded. Tragically died in his mid 20's. Can you imagine what a talent that never really was allowed to grow?.. So sad. but the music is there to Enjoy !
Allman Brothers fan’s shouted out Whipin post so much at Frank Zappa concerts that Zappa started playing it -really nice
Really? Thats hysterical!
😂😂👍👍
Gregg Allman is keyboards and vocalist, Duane Allman is lead guitar on the left, then Dickie Betts plays lead on guitar on the right.
Learning this song on the guitar 🎸 Love it.
Have to listen to the live version on Live from the Fillmore East.
The guy in the middle. His pronunciation is perfection. ❤️
2:50 yall kill me with that "get outa his way" LMAO
How can you not have stank face listening to this song???
Same with Free Bird , audiences yell for other bands to play.
Even Nirvana in the unplugged MTV session someone yelled Free Bird, as a meme 😅
Passing the flame🔥🔥🔥
Live at the Fillmore! Best version
Arguably top five American band of all time. Listen to more.
This cracks me up. The legendary Allman Brothers. "I liked the dude's voice" when it slowed down. Duane Allman's guitar? No comment? Wow!
ABB were from Macon, Ga. Skynard was from Jacksonville.
C'mon...! 1969! 💜
This was bluesy !!
Dickie Betts is also a composer.
You guys should really give a listen to “One Way Out” Live at The Fillmore East.
My Mom is from a small town in Alabama and married my Louisville born and raised Dad when they were both at the University of Alabama. Her parents definitely thought he was a Yankee. 😊

Fun fact. My family purchased an antique upright piano from the Allman family. I never even knew who they were? Till later.
Let's go guys !!
🦋 ❤ the Allman Brothers Band! My favorite song is "Midnight Rider" Awesome Reaction to this Jam Guys! 🤘😏
I have all these Vinyl Albums Also! And You guys are not far from where I live. Here in West Virginia!
🎶🤘😏🎶
Try listening to Chris Stapleton singing this song as tribute to Gregg Allman who was in the audience
Butch trucks is Derek trucks' uncle
Great reaction to a great song !!
Oh baby! Gregg Allmann…and the brothers. It cannot be topped in the sexy guitar that thrashes in this song, and his voice as well is just sexy as fuck!…they are just bad ass altogether. As far as the song, my closest friends are men, and they have said this song is how they have felt.

Gregg married Cher of all people for only about 2 months and he fathered her son Elijah Blue
Check out Melissa, my favorite Allman Brothers song. I am an 61 OWL (old white lady). Born in Florida, and yes you are in the South!
They were America's greatest band.
Live at Fillmore East!!!! Whipping Post, One Way Out, Southbound, Statesboro Blues....list is endless and They Are Live In 1971.
Check out the Live version of Whipping Post on the Fillmore East album
Good bands practice a lot & live together.
I've played guitar for a loooong time and no song has influenced my style more than ABB's Blue Sky. Weapons-grade melody.
Greg Allman was 21 when he sang this
Jaimo. Jay-Mo. One of the two drummers. Butch Trucks son is Derek Trucks and he and his wife are the Tedeschi Trucks band. Awesome The Fillmore album you can see whose playing what, when and Duane is on it a lot. wow.

Ever heard of The Louisville Crasher’s?
My best friend was married to drummer Max Maxwell.
WOW 😳 I really thought you guys would LOVE this song, especially because of the bluesiness of it and Gregg Allman's incredible voice. I'm kinda shocked, actually, that neither Ryan nor Ty were really into it. Even Nick being the most positive one about it is like, It's aight.
Lol you know you're not southern when you cant tell he was saying "Louisville"
there were 2 drummers . They would play at the old Fillmore West 'til the wee hours , great jams .Duane Allman played slide in the song Layla with Eric Clapton.
I'm from the north but I've been a fan of The Allman Brothers since the first time I heard them in 69 or 70. I love Southern rock as well.
I'm even further away from the Deep South - in the UK - and I've been listening to the Allman Brothers and other southern rock bands, like Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Atlanta Rhythm Section since the early 70s.

Gregg was married to Cher and they had a son, Elijah who looks so much like Gregg.
You are spot on wit the jazz bit!!!!! They did consider themselves a blues/jazz/rock band.
Gregg is vocalist and organ and was married 7 times so he definitely figured out how to quit being whipped! Love The Brothers I found them when I was 17 am now 70 and still listen to them ever day!!👍✌
Amen my Brother 👍 I also listen to them everyday. I first heard them in 1970. I was hooked. Best band ever.
One way out is a freakin VIBE!! Great band, full of talent 🖤

I could only imagine what it would feel like with playing rock gods
The first thing you think of when you think of Jacksonville SHOULD be Lynyrd Skynyrd. ; )
Guitarist Derek Trucks (see Tedeschi Trucks Band) is Butch Trucks' nephew and also lives in Jacksonville.
2 drummers n 2 lead guitars
I was thinking you guys might know Butch Truck's nephew, guitarist Derek Trucks. If not, check out the Tedeschi Trucks Band, one of the best bands currently touring.
I believe this is the first version of this song. It is only about five minutes long whereas the Fillmore East live version is over twenty minutes in length. The Fillmore East is a double album with Whipping Post taking up one entire side. This is certainly, if not the first, then one of the first "jam bands". On the "Eat A Peach" double album two sides were called "Mountain Jam".
My Theam song hard life
Sacrificed my life for my family buried them all not so nice to me… I’m good now taking care of me
Gregg Allman was only 20 yrs old but his voice sounds so seasoned!
Gregg Allman said that The Allman Brothers were a Rock Band from the South, not a Southern Rock Band. I believe they are the first band to be called 'Southern Rock'. .... A follower since 1970! Jazz, Blues, Soul, Rock Fusion! GREAT MUSICIANS!

Those in Lexington like to say Louisville is in Indiana.
Cream was really the first jam band---Grateful Dead also to be fair at the same time.
You have to listen to the acoustic version of sweet Melissa.
Alman Brothers are a progressive blurs band. They did not claim Southern Rock.

Hmmmm,nope,I always think of The Allman Brothers Band first
Definitely listen to the live version at The Fillmore. Just do it.
They need to listen to the whole album from Fillmore East. Lots of good stuff on that album
The live version of this song is absolutely one of the most amazing examples of musical stamina and creation you'll ever hear. The ebb and flow of emotion and expression is incredible. To top it off, at the very end of the song they go right into Mountain Jam --so they played for a solid hour.
Similar circumstances in Bill Withers Use me up
Some of the finest music ever…a real guitar army. They had a live album called “ Live at Fillmore East” that is one of the best selling of all time.They always had two drummers that were so synchronized they sounded like one…
Greg was only 21 but already sounded like a guy in his 40's going through his 2nd divorce... lol
Butch Trucks is the heavy rock drummer, known in the business as "freight train". Jaimoe was the jazz influenced percussionist.
Duane Allman is ranked in the top ten greatest guitarist of all time and he truly was!
Greatest band ever,nobody comes close.
'xactly.
Mmmm one of might be more accurate.
This is the very best of the best Gentlemen.... they don't have one miss on their magic set list ✌😎
Check out Live At The Filmore East.... ENJOY 😎
excellent analysis of the song in the situation.
Delaware is considered the south as is Maryland. South of the Mason-Dixon Line.
for me it's 1.Jimi 2.Duane Allman
cannot believe you listened to the studio version instead of Live at The Fillmore BUT... you did get to hear the second best version of this song ever.

Great song great reaction!
Great reaction guys. Thanks! BTW, that's Dicky Betts on the left and Duane on the right speaker.
Two lead guitars taking turns on the solos, right side, left side.
Your from the south. And your just finding the allman bros. And yes louisville is in the South.
Luval
By far the greatest Southern Rock Band ever. Live at fillmore East greatest live LP ever.
Best 2 drummer band was the Grateful Dead. I wish you would show case some of their music. Garcia was one of the best guitarist to ever exist!
Yes, they have two drummers. When you check out the live version at the Fillmore you will see it.
They are actually from Tennessee. RIP Gregg Allman, Duane Allman, Berry Oakley and Butch Trucks. Still alive are Dickey Betts and Jaimoe Johansen. Great live version of this from Fillmore East, 1970.
Gregg & Duane were from Tennessee but moved away in their preteen years. The Allman Brothers Band was headquartered in Macon, GA, so Macon claims them.
Went to East High In Nashville
Epic song
Tedischi-Trucks Band..... Butch's son!
Dicky Betts , Duane Allman on guitars , and Greg Allman vocals
You definitely have a Southern accent. My grandparents lived in Vienna, IL. (across the Ohio River from Paducah). Everyone had the same accent as you three... Being from Chicago area, it is definitely Southern. 😄
You really need the live at Filmore East and you'll understand "jam band'.
Lynard Skyndard was from Jacksonville Fla. not The Allman Bros. Duane and Greg Allman were from Georgia. "Eat a Peach."
For all of you Butch Trucks fans, here he is talking about the drums in this song.

So you listened to the whole thing and failed to notice Duane Allman considered one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived 😱nor did you pick up the dual guitars , and they were considered jazz fusion rock
Duane insisted on two drummers because James Brown’s band had two.
