Duane was in the process of changing the vocabulary of the electric guitar, both slide and fretted. One can only imagine the musical innovations he would've made. RIP to both Duane and Berry.
I'm surprised there aren't roadside memorials at those places, even a cross or something like you see on roads and highways which are always very sad and fascinating to see. It always makes me wonder who these people were, and what happened to them.
THOSE OLD NEGLECTED ROADS LOOK LIKE DEATH. THEY NEVER PUT ANY MONEY IN THIS COUNTRY. THEY GIVE IT AWAY TO PEOPLE WHO DONT DESERVE IT..GOD REST THOSE MEN WHO GAVE US GREAT MUSIC
Eerie the parallels between the two motorcycle crashes. Bartlett and Inverness Avenue intersection. Duane and Berry plus both drivers were all the age of 24. ("Midnight Riders" by Scott Freeman 1995)
Wrong info here - the truck was not stopped it was making a legal left turn. Allman was airborne on the bike coming off the top of the hill. Theres no possible way he either slowed down or veered.
Sounds like Oakley died of internal bleeding. I knew a guy some years back who was in a simple car accident -- he got out of the car, said he felt fine and saw no reason to be checked out at the hospital just to be sure. He died in his sleep that night from internal bleeding.
! ...So many great musicians died around this time !! Duane Allman, Jim Morrison, Berry Oakley, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix etc... To think what these artists would have done in the next 20 years blows my mind !! Lol
I have a 1200 custom sportster, and triumph bonneville, and a 2021 Aprilia rsv4 1100 factory , I'm a musician, the superbike horsepower is beyond reality, thinking of what Michael dunlop's (isle of man tt ) family's gone through. We pay the price for what we love , and sometimes.... love stinks. But we got to love , fast !!
Reason I ask is I was at the Elvis concert few days later in California when the Sharon Tate murder actually happened and was 15 months old. I have a slight remember of being with him in Macon just before death and seems was in a house close there just before.??? Very vague but I took photo at Elvis and remember and so does the forensics photographer who was taking care of me till parents came to get me. All dates on Tate are wrong. I remember who real murders were and still at large two of them. Contact me if you like.
Your story about Duane's accident is all wrong. The truck did NOT make a sudden stop in front of Duane. Duane did not hit the truck. The truck had cleared the intersection. Duane became airborne after hitting the crest of the hill before the intersection. Upon landing, the front wheel of the bike turned sideways and Duane flew over the handlebars. The bike dug into the pavement leaving gouge marks in the road. The bike landed on Duane and then continued down Hillcrest avenue. Duane did not slide down the road with the bike on top of him. The police report exonerates the truck driver of any wrong doing in this accident.
Truck turned in front of Duane. And stopped . Duane laid the bike down to avoid the striking the truck. Now sliding Bike and Duane then flipped over putting Duane underneath the bike as said in video. The gauges were left from Duane laying the bike down. Truck driver was exonerated bc Duane was speeding. There has never been any account of Duane getting airborne though. There is no possibility of getting a bike airborne on that point of hillcrest without building a jump. I’ve driven that road thousands of times while living in Macon for 13 years
@@darrenmcclellan9869 Police said that the truck DID NOT turn in front of Duane. The truck had completed it's turn. The police concluded that Duane DID become airborne. He liked getting up speed so he could get airborne. Sorry pal, You are wrong. The injuries Duane suffered could only be inflicted by a motorcycle bouncing up in the air and coming down hard on his chest. Duane had no visible injuries. How could he slide down the street with a motorcycle on top of him and have no visible injuries? How could the bike wind up 90 feet down the road if it was on top of Duane while he slid on the pavement? How could there be gouge marks in the pavement if the bike didn't hit the pavement hard and bounce up. If Duane laid the bike down and slid on the street with the bike on top of him, how could there be gouge marks in the pavement before the intersection? Sorry pal, this video is wrong!!!!
Duane at 24 he was already studio musician playing on other records man I bet he would’ve played the solo on Michael Jackson records instead of Eddie Van Halen
"Get high, be high, stay high". A quote I heard attributed to Berry Oakley that this was all he was going to do after Duane's death. That is fuckin' badass! Berry Oakley rules!
Beautiful and touching video, guys. Thank you so much for posting.
Thanks John...we appreciate the kind words!
Thank you for this. I’ve wanted to visit these sites in Macon for a long time. Thanks for doing so in such a respectful manner. God bless.
Hi Heather and Chris good seeing yall again as always
Howdy Jessica! Thanks for watching and commenting again we greatly appreciate it!
Thanks guys for the tour, I always wondered about the accident, and love the music, 😉
Thanks for watching!

Bro, you’re totally correct. He started bouncing the notes a lot like as if the guitar was percussion in the rhythm.
I remembered it well, i was 13, had just got my first bike, a suzuki 125, which then many Triumph's...still ride today..RIP..Berry, and skydog
This the the best video ive seen on this tragedy, so sad i hope one day to visit that cite , thank you for making this video, well done!!!
Thanks so much for the awesome comment...made our day!

Agree. Not sure why they never put memorials up at the sites.
I thought Duane died at Medical Center Hospital in down town Macon
Wait...he bounced off a bus TWICE?! and then proceeded to go home?!WTF
Insane!!
So nice you are your daughter did this video. RIP.
Barry's playing seems way more mature for his age he's always been a favorite
Gonna go see the big house, Rose Hill and we’ll find these intersections in about a month…both deaths what a shame 😢
Awesome! Hope you enjoy your time there!
Thank you for you're article.
Thanks for watching!
Hi , good video... Question ; @ the cemetery , the grave to the immediate left of Duane and Berry's . Would that be where Gregg was layed to rest ?
Hey Joe, thanks! Here's our video of the gravesite... th-cam.com/video/Y2Q_gCaI4m8/w-d-xo.html

It's a bit of a rough area for sure.
thank you

It is eerie for sure.
Always the lumber crane. RIP Duane and Barry.
More good stuff guys!
I did not know that is how they bought it.
Stay safe, enjoy the upcoming holidays!
Thanks Tim! Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season as well!

They were never the same after.

Heard a similar story where someone seemed fine and refused hospital...then died shortly after. Internal injuries are scary.
@@McAndrewTravels yeah what's scary I some internal organs are not innervated or so insignificantly that you can ignore mortal injuries
so sad

yes!
Where was Barry Oakley leaving before the wreck?

I believe they were leaving the band house.
You don't believe the Manson family murdered Tate?
Manson is a made up name
I’m in the helter skelter book the baby boy and my sister. All the news everything is wrong dates locations of most things and events.

@@paulfrombrooklyn5409 I don’t remember saying he slid…. You are mashing my comment with the video.
What state ? What county?
Macon, Georgia
theres only a slight problem with this video as its not accurate as in neither one of them died on scene!!!
they did not die at the scene. the video explained that.
nice content
Thank you!
I'm in my 50s and I always was led to believe it was the same exact intersection
where are the tragedies occurred?
Following... isnt this in Macon, Georgia?
Yes, Macon, Georgia
Duane at 24 he was already studio musician playing on other records man I bet he would’ve played the solo on Michael Jackson records instead of Eddie Van Halen
It's Berry, not Barry
Duane died first then Barry

Top 100? Try top 10.
In fact Duane Allman was once named the second greatest guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine, behind only Jimi Hendrix.
You should put off sunglasses for respect, while speaking
What difference does that make?
I agree, It is just nice his daughter and him did this video.
Jeremy Dewitt?
