The Allman’s transcend “southern rock.” I’m an old man and I’ve seen them live. They combine jazz, blues, rock, country and blend them into something so much greater than the sum of its parts. Skynyrd is southern rock (and I love them too) 🫡👍🏼🤟🏽
I'm a 63 yo female who still doesn't go on a road trip without bringing my Allman Brothers Fillmore East CDs. Fantastic musicians. Gregg is only 19 to 21 yo in this video, unbelievable how he has such a seasoned voice. ❤
Gregg was 23 at the time this was recorded, and yes, the whole band sound like elder statesmen here even tho they were only 22 to 26 years old inj 1971 and had only played together for about 2 years.
The Allman Brothers are a national treasure. A perfect blend of American roots music; rock, country, jazz and blues, If the band Govt Mule ever performs in your area, y'all should go check em out. A similar type southern rock jam band, with a harder edge to their sound. Definitely influenced by the AB band. Some of the Govt Mule members were actually a part of later incarnations of the Allman Brothers band. Enjoyed watching y'all's reaction so much you just got a new subscriber.👍👍
Saw them live at the San Francisco Cow Palace New Year's Eve 1973 also the Grateful Dead played. Nice way to start out a new year. PS Grand funk railroad. Inside looking out.
In my humble opinion, not before or since has rock witnessed a more formidable twin guitar attack, or maybe assault is a better descriptor, than that of Duane 'Skydog' Allman & Forrest Richard "Dickey" Betts. The way their playing complimented each other, even when they would go off in different directions for long stretches at a time was incredible. Tip to tale, top to bottom, perhaps the most talented American rock band ever.
And to think all that the original lineup accomplished (2.75 (roughly) studio albums and the greatest live album ever) was over by the time Duane passed at the age of 24 in 1971. The few times I saw the original lineup are absolutely musical highlights of my life!
Dont forget bassist Berry Oakley, probably the best of his era, who died in a motorcycle accident (like Duane) just a couple blocks from where Duane crashed, I think one day short of exactly a year later. Imagine what they'd have done w/ more time. Like Skynyrd. sigh. Can you imagine Duane jamming w/ Stevie Ray Vaughan? double sigh
@@casedismissed8581 No, I'm correct. He alternated instruments, wrote or co-wrote the original songs, and shared lead vocals in that band. Check out his channel, he's amazingly fit for his age and makes videos where he sits at his table and discusses the amazing array of albums he played on with everybody from Delany & Bonnie to various solo Beatles.
2 drummers (Butch and Jaimoe), one bassplayer/vocalist (Berry), one keyboardist/lead vocalist (Gregg Allman), two guitarists -- one who was also a vocalist (Dickey Betts) and the other who was the bandleader and the older brother of the keyboard player (Duane Allman). I don't want to say more than that. If someone wants to really learn about the Allman Brothers Band, there is all kinds of research material out there. They were around with their classic lineup for only 2 years, because Duane, the heart and soul of the band, was killed in a motorcycle wreck in late 1971. He was only 24.
Iin 1960, Gregg and Duane Allman attended a concert in Nashville with Jackie Wilson, Otis Redding, B.B. King, and Patti LaBelle which had a profound affect on them. Blues, Soul ,Jazz, Gospel and Rock all part of the Allman Bros material. BTW 2 drummers
I didn't know that and I've loved them since the beginning. Those four stars are also favorites of mine, too, it must have been some concert! They picked some great ones. Thanks,
I remember some rock critic/writer interviewing Duane and blowing smoke about being talked about as one of the greatest guitarists of the time, etc. Skydog, in typical fashion, said "hell, I ain't even the best guitarist in our band!!"
Since youre doing Southern Rock lets name a few more awesome artists from the South: Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, and the Outlaws are all Super Southern Rock bands definitely worth listening too!
And they had a nearly telepathic connection. I visited my sister in California many years ago, and her boyfriend got us tickets to see The Allman Brothers Band, my first time, and I was stunned and amazed. I’ve seen The Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones, Kinks, Dire Straits,… Allman Brothers Band was the best live.
Well- Butch Trucks’ nephew, Derek has a mighty fine blues band in this tradition with his wife , Susan. Every top blues artist jams with them. Derek is the best slide guitarist alive today. Even Rick Beato’s devoted an entire show to him. Tedeschi- Trucks Blues Band.
Did you watch the video? Two drummers, Jai Johanson and Butch Trucks.. Gregg allman on vocals and Hammond B3 organ. Duane Allman on Gibson Les Paul guitar. Dickey Betts on Gibson SG guitar. Barry Oakley on bass. Bur I do like seeing you young guys getting a dose of the music we boomers grew up on.
Hey B, I know your down on rap. I would say 90% of all current mainstream music is formulaic, generic cookie cutter. I wouldnt just single out Rap 😆 New Rock bands? Majority all sound the same.
That's Gregg Allman on vocals. In 1970 shortly before we lost Duane Allman (lead guitarist) in a motorcycle accident. The Allman Bros. are one of the greatest bands of all time. You might also check out the album Derek and the Dominoes which includes Duane Allman and Eric Clapton. A fantastic album.
Gree Allman on vocals/ organ/keyboards, brother Duane Allman on the first guitar and Dickey Betts on second guitar 🎸 Barry Oakley on bass. Dual drummers Butch Trucks and Jaimoe. This is the original lineup. Try their song Statsboro Blues 🔥
The ABB played two concerts at Fillmore East where this was recorded over a two day period. The better performance of this song is on the live album. The ABB at this time was Greg Allman on lead vocals and organ, Duane Allman on guitar and slide guitar, Dickey Betts on Guitar and vocals, Barry Oakley on bass, Butch Trucks on drums, and Jai "Jaimoe" Johnny Johnson on drums. They are considered by many to be one of the early bands that created the Southern Rock genre. Two other albums you should check out are The Allman Brothers Band Live Fillmore East and Eat a Peach.
I was blessed to see the Allman Brothers Band my 1st semester at New Mexico State in Las Cruces, NM in October of 1971. Some buddies and I were recruited by our RA to hump the equipment from the trucks to the stage for the roadies to set up. As payment, we got to stay while they did their sound check, got into the concert for free, and got to watch from stage left. They played the next night in San Diego, and then returned to Macon where Duane Allman, one of the guitarists was killed in a motorcycle accident two weeks after they got back home. So we were blessed to have seen and met Duane Allman at the next to the last performance he ever gave.
ONE WAY OUT has to be your next song from them. Live in Fillmore East 1970. This song had kinda bad audio. One Way Out, Greg Allman the singer really belts out that raspy gritty voice. Edit: I said 1970, it's actually 1971.
I NEVER got so High at a concert ever... jus'sayin... as soon as the lights went down... there were joints passed around and anyone that didn't smoke hot high too 😉 You should listen to the studio versions and than live, and then you'll see TRUE ARTISTS at work!!!
The Fillmore East was legendary for great rock concerts AND lots of stoners. My father grew up on Long Island and he and his friends went to see an unbelievable amount of great shows there (Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, The Who, The Doors, the Allman Brothers and on and on), and the party started while you were standing in line outside with people openly toking or taking acid. I went to see the Allman Brothers every time they played at the Beacon Theater on Broadway, which they did for several nights in a row from 1992-2010. Some of those shows I can’t recall too well because I was so baked, the cloud of smoke in that place looked like a smog alert. People would also hand out acid. I only tripped once when someone dosed my iced tea at a birthday party and didn’t tell me, it was so horrific I never wanted to do it again. Acid wasn’t really necessary at an Allman Brothers show because it was already a psychedelic experience, especially with the light show they always had. My father saw the Allman Brothers one time in the 70’s and Gregg Allman passed out two songs into the show and had to be carried offstage, Dickie Betts took over vocals and it was still one incredible show.
You seem to like live performances so if you get the chance to react to Santana (Woodstock Album) - Soul Sacrifice. You'll really like it. th-cam.com/video/sSp05euvRNU/w-d-xo.html
Gregg Allman was the lead singer of the Allman Brothers, although sometimes guitarist Dickie Betts sang (very easy to tell them apart). The Allman Brothers began in Macon, Georgia in 1969 and they officially retired in 2014. They had two drummers and two lead guitarists. Duane Allman was a legendary guitarist but he died on October 29, 1971 while in surgery after a motorcycle accident. Gregg Allman had a solo career aside from being in the Allman Brothers Band (he was also married to Cher at one time) and was a legend for his voice as well as his drug use, although he did eventually get clean. He died in 2017 from liver cancer. You really can’t go wrong with any Allman Brothers albums, and there are many. You should also listen to Gregg Allman’s solo albums which he began in 1973. He had a monster hit in the late 80’s with “I’m No Angel” which you certainly have heard if you listen to the radio.
A lot of times I’m pretty sure people have heard the song before but these guys couldn’t get the extraordinary 3,3,3,2 that changes to plain old 333 waltz rhythm. Almost no one can which makes this song sooo amazing.
there were 2 drummers . Duane hadn't played a slide much and brought one to the studio to try it , picked it up amazingly fast. They had jazz undertones especially with ' In Memory of Elizabeth Reed' some bands at the time would play in the streets of SF. Duane would play all night long if he could . Thanks for your reaction to the music of my youth.. You may drift into some prog rock , fusion ..it 'expands'
Did you actually see this video? There were obviously 2 drummers and you say THE drummer. You say you heard some keyboards, they showed Greg Allman playing the keyboards. Like your reactions but??? (they also showed the bass player)
Hey bro I really love your show I like the way you could keep what you hear I grew up listening to this music if you might want to do another song from that same concert it's called Stormy Monday live at the Fillmore East it's really great bluesy song another song you might like either from an album or wherever you get them is Blue Sky, Melissa, Southbound, One Way Out, Ramblin Man
You need to listen to their song "Back Where It All Begins (Live) " from their 2nd set album. The Allman Brothers Band at the time of the Fillmore East was Duane Allman (slide guitar and lead guitar) Gregg Allman (vocals, keyboards, songwriting), as well as Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (drums). They had two drummers playing at one time
The concert at the Beacon in the on St Paddy's day in the 90s, I happened into tickets. Dickey Betts was acting like an arsehole, sorry to say... just before he left them. Kinda put a stain on the show... but they were still brilliant!
Excuse me sir... Duane passed in '71. The live second set album was 1996 and it was Warren Haynes along with dickie Betts on guitar and Allen woody on bass since berry Oakley died shortly after Duane.
@@timhoovermusicman - I was referring to the Fillmore East album when I was stating the band. I probably should have been more clear on that. and will edit the comment
Allman Bros had a 1972 album entitled “Eat a Peach”. The album title was in memory of Duane Allman who was killed when his motorcycle struck a truck hauling peaches. Thus, “Eat a Peach”.
New Haven College. That goes back a ways. I didn't even know they had a hall that could do a concert back then. It was mostly SNET employees getting degrees paid for by the company. Now they are University of New Haven. My dad graduated from New Haven College and my daughter graduated from UNH.
Back then for $2.00 I got to see J Geils, Brewer and Shipley (One toke over the line, sweet Jesus) and McEndry Spring. A friend knew the piano player for J Geils and we got to sit under the piano, on stage and passed a pipe full between us and the piano player. What a great concert. Those were the days. @@thomasflynn5366
@@timhoovermusicman Duane had a different, warmer, emotional sound when he played. More than technically great, it had so much emotion in it, which u have or don't.
I love me some Allman Bros. In the mountains I grew up with them. You should check out Lynyrd Skynyrd as well. The singer/writer is outta this world good. Try a standard like "Simple Man"; "Sweet Home Alabama"; or the more obscure "Mississippi Kid". Keep the journey going, dude. They're not Pink Floyd, but Southern Blues Rock with a killer piano player (Billy Powell) 5 lead guitar players, they are an experience you need to have. You won't regret it.
I'm 73, saw them in 1970. I came away changed by the experience and feeling way cooler. I still feel that way 54 years later. Do a deep dive, guys. You'll be cooler too. Stormy Monday, Jessica, One Way Out, Soulshine - you won't be sorry, you'll be changed.
Another vote for "One Way Out". There are *plenty* of incredible recordings of these guys. They were another seminal jam band and they were taped a lot. Don't make the mistake of trying to pigeon hole this band either. They're not just "Southern Rock". They're not just "Blues". They incorporate a lot of different influences in their music.
Singer, also Played keyboards, and organ. He wrote this song at 18 or 19 - Gregg Almann. The leader of the band, Duane Almann on slide guitar. There are two guitarists, there are two drummers. One came over from a famous jazz band.The singer plays keys and organ. Extremely talented band - great live. Looked at as one of the best live bands ever. ‘One way out’is a very cool song. You’ll hear more of Gregg’s voice. Duane Allman is looked at as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. I could go on and on. You need to read up on them.
yes, you'll find so much 60/70 music history thru them. Gregg's autobiography is a history lesson in itself. All these guys were YOUNG, in their early 20's. Jaimo played with Wilson Picket, a great blues singer and Duane did studio work with Aretha and other greats cause they asked for him "SKYDOG". lol
Nothing like starting with the best ever! 👍🇺🇸😎 2 drummers, 2 guitarist, the organ player, Greg Allman, was also the lead singer! Remember him? He married “Cher”, back in the 80’s-90’s. He was IIRC 21 when he recorded that!
Hi, guys. My husband and I just saw this video and I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it. One of my best friends, Rick Durrett, went to Emory in September 1969 and brought home this album at Christmas and turned my other best friends and me on to the ABB. He had been catching them Sundays in Piedmont Park. So Mike, George and I, who were still in high school, were fortunate enough to have gotten a jump on the rest of the music world when it came to the Allman Brothers. I will fill you in: Yes, they were heavily influenced by the blues. Duane Allman founded the group. Gregg Allman (Duane's little brother) is the organist and vocalist...so yes, you heard keyboards. Duane Allman and Dickie Betts are the guitarists. Both are leads, but Duane (the blond) plays slide, as well. There are two drummers - not one: Jaimoe Johanson and Butch Trucks. They make it look easy, don't they? Yes, there is a bassist: Berry Oakley. He's located between Duane and Dickie. Two lead guitars and two drummers were unheard of before the Allman Brothers. Their concerts at the Fillmore East were important because they were just catching on bit by bit outside the Southeast. I went to Europe for the first time in 1971. There was one guy in my group from Michigan and one day we struck up a conversation about music. He was "Little Feat, Little Feat, Little Feat." I was "Allman Brothers, Allman Brothers, Allman Brothers." We argued from Italy to London, when I ran across one of those "various artists' compilation albums" in a record store. There was one song by the Allman Brothers..."Black Hearted Woman" from the first album. I had the album at home, but I bought it anyway, took it back to the dorm where we were staying, found some guys who had a stereo, pulled Hasbrouck into their room, put on the song and played it for him. I had to keep holding up my hand and telling him, "Wait! There's more!" every time he thought the song was over. I converted him that day and he went to every Allman Brothers Concert he could find after that until the band finally broke up. I absolutely agree with you that the band wouldn't really work if you took away any one member. That's why I don't listen (as a rule) to any ABB recordings after Duane died. Also, if you're Eric Clapton fans and have been marveling at his guitar work on Layla...that's not Clapton. That's Duane Allman. Find the isolated lead track (Duane) and vocals (Eric) here. th-cam.com/video/Jfj3QhJ3Xmk/w-d-xo.html Although there are only two members of the band left, I'm thankful to you for introducing a new generation to the best band who ever came out of America...and to the best guitarist who every picked up a Gibson (or any guitar, really).
This band was one of my Dads favourites growing up. Of course I didn't really click with this band until actually their 1990 album Seven Turns which was considered their comeback album, still what a great band even though I started with their later material I went back to check out their 60s and 70s work and boy those are classics and untouchable. Great reaction dude!
Singer/ keyboads is Greg Allman, lead guitar is Duane Allman. Greg wrote this song when he was 19, it was recorded 2 years later in March 1969. Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident on October 25, 1971; on November 11, 1972 bassist Berry Oakley died on the same road from a motorcycle accident.
The o g's of southern rock long before Lynyrd Skynyrd. Marshall tucker And thirty eight special.... Also Being that they were integrated, they weren't allowed to play Anywhere in the South.Remember , jim crow
Your Allman Brothers Line-up ~~ Duane Allman - Lead & Slide Guitar ~~ Gregg Allman ~ Keyboards & Vocals ~~ Dickey Betts -Lead Guitar ~~ Berry Oakley -Bass & Vocals ~~ Jaimoe - Drums & Percussion ~~ Butch Trucks - Drums & Tympani ( He is the Uncle of Slide Guitar maestro Derek Trucks who joined the Band at the Ripe old Age of 19 in 1999)
Gad your experiencing. Sounds "sped up" though. Maybe this version. Not much, but some. I'll listen though. BTW" Gregg wrote this at 20. No tricky engineering, no auto tune, just kick ass music.
This is the music I grew up on in the south ,the Allman Brothers, C.D.B, ZZTOP, SRV, BBKING, Janis Joplin, Lynyrd Skynyrd will take you to church and made you testify that you received music you can feel !
As someone who saw the original band live and has been listening to them for 50 plus years, I can tell you your next choice should come from their live album called,"at Fillmore East". It is considered by many as the best live blues album ever recorded. Whipping post which you just heard is also on that album and in my opinion considered the best version. The album I'm talking about was recorded between March 12th and 14th 1971. I believe most if not all of the songs on the live album that I mentioned came from the 13th and 14th. It's a double album that carried over to the next album,"eat a peach". The band had six members: Duane Allman, lead guitar and slide lead guitar plus unofficial leader of band; Richard "Dickey" Betts, lead guitarist, songwriter, singer; Gregg Allman, singer, songwriter, Hammond B3 organ; Berry Oakley, bass player (x lead guitarist), Jai Johansson, drums and percussion and Butch trucks, drums. During the three nights of this concert at the Fillmore East they had a 7th player, a good friend on harmonica, Thom Doucette. Well, there's a brief history. Now, may I make a suggestion for your next Allman Brothers song. My choice would be "you don't love me" off of the live album, "at Fillmore East".
Welcome to real, honest, raw, music!! Think about this for a minute........countless studio credits to your credit in Muscle Shoals with the likes of Aretha Franklin, King Curtis, Boz Skaggs, Wilson Pickett, Clarence Carter, and many others, having the vision and organization to put together what would become the ABB and getting them out on the road, recording 2 excellent studio albums and most of a third with the band plus the greatest live album ever, more studio work including recording the "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" album with Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, and Jim Gordon, also one of the greatest albums of all time, and tragically dead at the tender age of 24.........That's Duane Allman! Long history of this great band that lasted until the final curtain went down at the Beacon Theater in NYC in 2014. I encourage you to dig VERY deep into this wonderful band!
Just caught your 25 or 6 to 4, live at Tanglewood review, now the Allman Brothers...making some good picks. Dig deeper in to Duane Allmans story, playing and the early days of the band. Duane Allman and Boz Skaggs "Loan me a dime" is a good example of his talent.
Rolling Stone Magazine put 4 of the ABB's guitarists from their 45 year long career on their 100 Best Guitarists List , Original members Duane Allman & Dickey Betts and later members Warren Haynes & Derek Trucks .
The vocalist , also on Hammond organ, Gregg Allman, wrote this in his teens! Two drummers!!! This was in 5/4! His bro, Duane, on lead guitar along with Dickey Betts on the other lead. The progenitors of Southern Rock.
3:55 I think that you’re listening to some great music but it’s just a bit out of date! OK great music never dies but new great music is incoming all of the time! I’m a 70+ year old rocker that really appreciates great music, I’m going to suggest you take a look at The Warning, a band of 3 sisters from Monterey Mexico. The have been around since 2014 when they were 10, 13 and 15 and covered Enter Sandman by Metallica. It went viral and they just got better and better from then on. They toured last year with some of the really top bands like Guns n Roses; honestly you really should check them out even if out don’t react to them! I’m also pretty certain your mom would like them especially if you showed her the performance from 2014!
Two lead guitars, two drummers. Dwayne Allman and Gregg Allman, Dwayne lead guitar, and singer, Gregg were brothers. The other lead guitarist was Dickey Betts.
Yes, they had a fine bassist, Barry Oakley, who played much more than just a simple bass line. He had to keep up with Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, doubling many of the same melody and/or harmony notes, an octave or two lower, and some just rhythm bass. His bass is just difficult to hear, at times, on this video.
The lead singer is Gregg Allman on keyboards and the first lead guitar is Dwayne Allman who unfortunately died in a motorcycle accident sometime in the 70's.
This performance was recorded for a PBS special that never aired for some reason. As for rock vs. rap. Way too many of my fellow old people are utter hypocrites about it. We were constantly told by our elders that our music was nothing but noise. How dare they say the same thing about the music of today's kids. I remember being told over and over that the Beatles were "noise" and that they had "no talent."
I'm listening to your closing comments,Gregg was a voice for the ages... Here's a link to him in a radio studio just himself and his guitar. He did a solo album in'74th-cam.com/video/3kQ8o0QC7Bw/w-d-xo.html
Welcome, wait till you listen to the studio versions of your Allman adventure..this is a great song but sometimes the technology on older live performance doesn't capture the magic.
SOME RANDOM FACTS: At the time this concert was recorded, singer/organist Gregg Allman was 23 years old and big brother Duane on lead guitar was 24. The show seen here was released as the double LP set _At Fillmore East_ in August 1971. That album catapulted the Allman Brothers Band to immediate superstardom and was certified gold just a few weeks later on October 15. Exactly 14 days after that, a month before his 25th birthday, Duane Allman died in a motorcycle wreck in Macon, Georgia 10/29/1971. Bassist Berry Oakley, who was 22 in this video, died a year later in a motorcycle wreck on the same street. Not positive but I believe the two drummers were the oldest members and both were 26 in this video; Butch Trucks, the long-haired drummer, is the uncle of present-day slide guitar master Derek Trucks.
Great reaction! But.... "not sure they have a bass player?" Better listen to the opening riff one more time. One of the most famous and memorable bass lines ever!
Great video of a Great Band, one of my favorites of all time. Love your review great to see the smile's on you faces while hearing this for the first time.
Greg Allman(vocals, organ) was a force of nature. It's great to see these reactions and watch the music I grew up loving being found by a new generation. Keep it up! P.S. I was also a rapper for 25yrs, but rock never left me.
Great who was the Lead singer was playing the keyboard. Older music is so good a lot of the rappers sample a lot of it to make their song sound better.

Welcome to Southern rock. Two drummers, two lead guitarist a Hammond organ, and a bassist that plays almost as many notes as the lead guitarist.
Not to mention one of the great rock singers
The Allman’s transcend “southern rock.” I’m an old man and I’ve seen them live. They combine jazz, blues, rock, country and blend them into something so much greater than the sum of its parts. Skynyrd is southern rock (and I love them too) 🫡👍🏼🤟🏽
I'm a 63 yo female who still doesn't go on a road trip without bringing my Allman Brothers Fillmore East CDs. Fantastic musicians. Gregg is only 19 to 21 yo in this video, unbelievable how he has such a seasoned voice. ❤
Gregg was 23 at the time this was recorded, and yes, the whole band sound like elder statesmen here even tho they were only 22 to 26 years old inj 1971 and had only played together for about 2 years.
Music from the 60s and 70s had a blend of people God I miss those days
The air was filled with such a wide variety of exceptional music, and you could hear any genre on one station.
The Allman Brothers are a national treasure. A perfect blend of American roots music; rock, country, jazz and blues,
If the band Govt Mule ever performs in your area, y'all should go check em out. A similar type southern rock jam band, with a harder edge to their sound. Definitely influenced by the AB band. Some of the Govt Mule members were actually a part of later incarnations of the Allman Brothers band.
Enjoyed watching y'all's reaction so much you just got a new subscriber.👍👍
This concert was recorded live and is considered one if not the best live recorded album of all time.
Actually, not this concert. This one was in 1970. At Fillmore East was recorded in 1971.
The 71 recording At Fillmore East is preserved in the library of Congress
Yes it is.
Yes it is.
Yes it is.
Saw them live at the San Francisco Cow Palace New Year's Eve 1973 also the Grateful Dead played. Nice way to start out a new year. PS Grand funk railroad. Inside looking out.
In my humble opinion, not before or since has rock witnessed a more formidable twin guitar attack, or maybe assault is a better descriptor, than that of Duane 'Skydog' Allman & Forrest Richard "Dickey" Betts. The way their playing complimented each other, even when they would go off in different directions for long stretches at a time was incredible. Tip to tale, top to bottom, perhaps the most talented American rock band ever.

Imagine what they'd have done w/ more time. Like Skynyrd. sigh. Can you imagine Duane jamming w/ Stevie Ray Vaughan? double sigh
The triple-guitar attack of Duane Allman, Eric Clapton, and Bobby Whitlock in Derek & the Dominos wasn't too shabby either.
@@MisterRlGHT YO MRWRONG, Bobby Whitlock was the keyboardist!!!!

I don't want to say more than that. If someone wants to really learn about the Allman Brothers Band, there is all kinds of research material out there.
They were around with their classic lineup for only 2 years, because Duane, the heart and soul of the band, was killed in a motorcycle wreck in late 1971. He was only 24.
Iin 1960, Gregg and Duane Allman attended a concert in Nashville with Jackie Wilson, Otis Redding, B.B. King, and Patti LaBelle which had a profound affect on them. Blues, Soul ,Jazz, Gospel and Rock all part of the Allman Bros material.
BTW 2 drummers
I didn't know that and I've loved them since the beginning. Those four stars are also favorites of mine, too, it must have been some concert! They picked some great ones. Thanks,
Dickie Betts plays a bad ass guitar!
I remember some rock critic/writer interviewing Duane and blowing smoke about being talked about as one of the greatest guitarists of the time, etc. Skydog, in typical fashion, said "hell, I ain't even the best guitarist in our band!!"
Since youre doing Southern Rock lets name a few more awesome artists from the South: Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, and the Outlaws are all Super Southern Rock bands definitely worth listening too!
Oh yeah check them
Out
And Tom Petty
Saw Blackfoot open for Nazareth in '78
Gotta include Wet Willie, Grinderswitch, and Atlanta Rhythm Section in that lineup.
I said it once and im saying it again... you wont find musicians like this anymore....
I’ll join you in saying it too! Every one of them a virtuoso musician.
And they had a nearly telepathic connection. I visited my sister in California many years ago, and her boyfriend got us tickets to see The Allman Brothers Band, my first time, and I was stunned and amazed. I’ve seen The Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones, Kinks, Dire Straits,… Allman Brothers Band was the best live.
Well- Butch Trucks’ nephew, Derek has a mighty fine blues band in this tradition with his wife , Susan. Every top blues artist jams with them. Derek is the best slide guitarist alive today. Even Rick Beato’s devoted an entire show to him. Tedeschi- Trucks Blues Band.
Did you watch the video? Two drummers, Jai Johanson and Butch Trucks.. Gregg allman on vocals and Hammond B3 organ. Duane Allman on Gibson Les Paul guitar. Dickey Betts on Gibson SG guitar. Barry Oakley on bass. Bur I do like seeing you young guys getting a dose of the music we boomers grew up on.
Hey B,
I know your down on rap.
I would say 90% of all current mainstream music is formulaic, generic cookie cutter. I wouldnt just single out Rap 😆 New Rock bands? Majority all sound the same.
That's Gregg Allman on vocals. In 1970 shortly before we lost Duane Allman (lead guitarist) in a motorcycle accident. The Allman Bros. are one of the greatest bands of all time. You might also check out the album Derek and the Dominoes which includes Duane Allman and Eric Clapton. A fantastic album.
Great to see young people appreciate the genius of these old southern boys.
Gree Allman on vocals/ organ/keyboards, brother Duane Allman on the first guitar and Dickey Betts on second guitar 🎸 Barry Oakley on bass. Dual drummers Butch Trucks and Jaimoe. This is the original lineup. Try their song Statsboro Blues 🔥
The ABB played two concerts at Fillmore East where this was recorded over a two day period. The better performance of this song is on the live album. The ABB at this time was Greg Allman on lead vocals and organ, Duane Allman on guitar and slide guitar, Dickey Betts on Guitar and vocals, Barry Oakley on bass, Butch Trucks on drums, and Jai "Jaimoe" Johnny Johnson on drums. They are considered by many to be one of the early bands that created the Southern Rock genre. Two other albums you should check out are The Allman Brothers Band Live Fillmore East and Eat a Peach.
I was blessed to see the Allman Brothers Band my 1st semester at New Mexico State in Las Cruces, NM in October of 1971.
Some buddies and I were recruited by our RA to hump the equipment from the trucks to the stage for the roadies to set up.
As payment, we got to stay while they did their sound check, got into the concert for free, and got to watch from stage left.
They played the next night in San Diego, and then returned to Macon where Duane Allman, one of the guitarists was killed in a motorcycle accident two weeks after they got back home.
So we were blessed to have seen and met Duane Allman at the next to the last performance he ever gave.
Welcome to Jazz-Blues Jam Rock, largely defined by ABB over 50 years ago!
On of, if not the best “jam bands” of all time!!!
Duane Allman (RIP) was arguably the greatest slide players ever!!!
he taught slide to some and influenced MANY more.
ONE WAY OUT has to be your next song from them. Live in Fillmore East 1970. This song had kinda bad audio. One Way Out, Greg Allman the singer really belts out that raspy gritty voice.
Edit: I said 1970, it's actually 1971.
The brothers just released a soundboard recording of the '71 concert in pittsburgh. Excellent.
I NEVER got so High at a concert ever... jus'sayin... as soon as the lights went down... there were joints passed around and anyone that didn't smoke hot high too 😉
You should listen to the studio versions and than live, and then you'll see TRUE ARTISTS at work!!!
The Fillmore East was legendary for great rock concerts AND lots of stoners. My father grew up on Long Island and he and his friends went to see an unbelievable amount of great shows there (Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, The Who, The Doors, the Allman Brothers and on and on), and the party started while you were standing in line outside with people openly toking or taking acid. I went to see the Allman Brothers every time they played at the Beacon Theater on Broadway, which they did for several nights in a row from 1992-2010. Some of those shows I can’t recall too well because I was so baked, the cloud of smoke in that place looked like a smog alert. People would also hand out acid. I only tripped once when someone dosed my iced tea at a birthday party and didn’t tell me, it was so horrific I never wanted to do it again. Acid wasn’t really necessary at an Allman Brothers show because it was already a psychedelic experience, especially with the light show they always had.
My father saw the Allman Brothers one time in the 70’s and Gregg Allman passed out two songs into the show and had to be carried offstage, Dickie Betts took over vocals and it was still one incredible show.
You and your friend have to listen to ROUNDABOUT By Yes album version. Progressive rock and one of the best.
I agree with Kirk Hall! Must do!!
Great reaction guys..next up from the same album for you should be In Memory of Elizabeth Reed ! Enjoy and you're welcome :) Peace and Love
You seem to like live performances so if you get the chance to react to Santana (Woodstock Album) - Soul Sacrifice. You'll really like it. th-cam.com/video/sSp05euvRNU/w-d-xo.html
OMG YES! That is an incredible song. Woodstock baby!!!!
Gregg Allman was the lead singer of the Allman Brothers, although sometimes guitarist Dickie Betts sang (very easy to tell them apart).
The Allman Brothers began in Macon, Georgia in 1969 and they officially retired in 2014. They had two drummers and two lead guitarists. Duane Allman was a legendary guitarist but he died on October 29, 1971 while in surgery after a motorcycle accident. Gregg Allman had a solo career aside from being in the Allman Brothers Band (he was also married to Cher at one time) and was a legend for his voice as well as his drug use, although he did eventually get clean. He died in 2017 from liver cancer.
You really can’t go wrong with any Allman Brothers albums, and there are many. You should also listen to Gregg Allman’s solo albums which he began in 1973. He had a monster hit in the late 80’s with “I’m No Angel” which you certainly have heard if you listen to the radio.
Very, very few bands pulled off the two drummer combo successfully, and none came close to the Allman Brothers.
A lot of times I’m pretty sure people have heard the song before but these guys couldn’t get the extraordinary 3,3,3,2 that changes to plain old 333 waltz rhythm. Almost no one can which makes this song sooo amazing.
there were 2 drummers . Duane hadn't played a slide much and brought one to the studio to try it , picked it up amazingly fast. They had jazz undertones especially with ' In Memory of Elizabeth Reed' some bands at the time would play in the streets of SF. Duane would play all night long if he could . Thanks for your reaction to the music of my youth.. You may drift into some prog rock , fusion ..it 'expands'
Statesboro Blues is an Allman standard. I haven't heard anybody review Blackhearted Woman.
Did you actually see this video? There were obviously 2 drummers and you say THE drummer. You say you heard some keyboards, they showed Greg Allman playing the keyboards. Like your reactions but??? (they also showed the bass player)
Hey bro I really love your show I like the way you could keep what you hear I grew up listening to this music if you might want to do another song from that same concert it's called Stormy Monday live at the Fillmore East it's really great bluesy song another song you might like either from an album or wherever you get them is Blue Sky, Melissa, Southbound, One Way Out, Ramblin Man
You need to listen to their song "Back Where It All Begins (Live) " from their 2nd set album. The Allman Brothers Band at the time of the Fillmore East was Duane Allman (slide guitar and lead guitar) Gregg Allman (vocals, keyboards, songwriting), as well as Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (drums). They had two drummers playing at one time
The concert at the Beacon in the on St Paddy's day in the 90s, I happened into tickets. Dickey Betts was acting like an arsehole, sorry to say... just before he left them. Kinda put a stain on the show... but they were still brilliant!
Excuse me sir... Duane passed in '71. The live second set album was 1996 and it was Warren Haynes along with dickie Betts on guitar and Allen woody on bass since berry Oakley died shortly after Duane.
@@timhoovermusicman - I was referring to the Fillmore East album when I was stating the band. I probably should have been more clear on that. and will edit the comment
@@michaelgrillo4333 it's all good🙂I was just confused by the 2nd set reference then the original line-up🙂
Allman Bros had a 1972 album entitled “Eat a Peach”. The album title was in memory of Duane Allman who was killed when his motorcycle struck a truck hauling peaches. Thus, “Eat a Peach”.
That album is such a backdrop to my early childhood!! My dad cranked it every weekend til the game started😂👍
Les Brers in A Minor: a tribute to a brother!
As a 2nd interpretation of the title, I'd point out that in the band's home state of Georgia, the pretty girls are referred to as "Georgia Peaches"!
@@redcaddiedaddie I heard someone asked..Dwayne..how he was going to protest the Vietnam War and he said..I'm going to..Eat a Peach..
I had the pleasure of seeing the Allman Brothers in 1970 at New Haven College, for the whopping cost of $2.00. They played for hours.
I have a friend in Maryland who got to see them 3 times. He's played guitar for 55 years and Duane is his all-time favorite.
New Haven College. That goes back a ways. I didn't even know they had a hall that could do a concert back then. It was mostly SNET employees getting degrees paid for by the company. Now they are University of New Haven. My dad graduated from New Haven College and my daughter graduated from UNH.
Back then for $2.00 I got to see J Geils, Brewer and Shipley (One toke over the line, sweet Jesus) and McEndry Spring. A friend knew the piano player for J Geils and we got to sit under the piano, on stage and passed a pipe full between us and the piano player. What a great concert. Those were the days. @@thomasflynn5366
@@timhoovermusicman Duane had a different, warmer, emotional sound when he played. More than technically great, it had so much emotion in it, which u have or don't.
You ever heard his collaboration with king curtis on games people play? Great stuff... Or hey jude with wilson pickett.@@KindCountsDeb3773
I love me some Allman Bros. In the mountains I grew up with them. You should check out Lynyrd Skynyrd as well. The singer/writer is outta this world good. Try a standard like "Simple Man"; "Sweet Home Alabama"; or the more obscure "Mississippi Kid". Keep the journey going, dude. They're not Pink Floyd, but Southern Blues Rock with a killer piano player (Billy Powell) 5 lead guitar players, they are an experience you need to have. You won't regret it.
Listen to "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" by them but strap yourselves in first.
You should react to Grand Funk Railroad Inside Looking Out.
The live version……
I'm 73, saw them in 1970. I came away changed by the experience and feeling way cooler. I still feel that way 54 years later. Do a deep dive, guys. You'll be cooler too. Stormy Monday, Jessica, One Way Out, Soulshine - you won't be sorry, you'll be changed.
Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd are the epitome of the BEST SOUTHERN ROCK. Unfortunately, music like this doesn't exist anymore.
Another vote for "One Way Out". There are *plenty* of incredible recordings of these guys. They were another seminal jam band and they were taped a lot. Don't make the mistake of trying to pigeon hole this band either. They're not just "Southern Rock". They're not just "Blues". They incorporate a lot of different influences in their music.
Now you need to check out Can't You See by The Marshall Tucker Band!
Get into the rabbit hole boys. So much more to hear. Anything off Eat a Peach and Live at Phillmore
That Hammond B3 is in a class of its own....
Singer, also
Played keyboards, and organ. He wrote this song at 18 or 19 - Gregg Almann. The leader of the band, Duane Almann on slide guitar. There are two guitarists, there are two drummers. One came over from a famous jazz band.The singer plays keys and organ. Extremely talented band - great live. Looked at as one of the best live bands ever. ‘One way out’is a very cool song. You’ll hear more of Gregg’s voice. Duane Allman is looked at as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. I could go on and on. You need to read up on them.
yes, you'll find so much 60/70 music history thru them. Gregg's autobiography is a history lesson in itself. All these guys were YOUNG, in their early 20's. Jaimo played with Wilson Picket, a great blues singer and Duane did studio work with Aretha and other greats cause they asked for him "SKYDOG". lol
Nothing like starting with the best ever! 👍🇺🇸😎 2 drummers, 2 guitarist, the organ player, Greg Allman, was also the lead singer! Remember him? He married “Cher”, back in the 80’s-90’s. He was IIRC 21 when he recorded that!
Jerry Garcia has my heart - but the Allman Bros have my Soul
Hi, guys. My husband and I just saw this video and I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it. One of my best friends, Rick Durrett, went to Emory in September 1969 and brought home this album at Christmas and turned my other best friends and me on to the ABB. He had been catching them Sundays in Piedmont Park. So Mike, George and I, who were still in high school, were fortunate enough to have gotten a jump on the rest of the music world when it came to the Allman Brothers.
I will fill you in:
Yes, they were heavily influenced by the blues.
Duane Allman founded the group.
Gregg Allman (Duane's little brother) is the organist and vocalist...so yes, you heard keyboards.
Duane Allman and Dickie Betts are the guitarists. Both are leads, but Duane (the blond) plays slide, as well.
There are two drummers - not one: Jaimoe Johanson and Butch Trucks. They make it look easy, don't they?
Yes, there is a bassist: Berry Oakley. He's located between Duane and Dickie.
Two lead guitars and two drummers were unheard of before the Allman Brothers.
Their concerts at the Fillmore East were important because they were just catching on bit by bit outside the Southeast.
I went to Europe for the first time in 1971. There was one guy in my group from Michigan and one day we struck up a conversation about music. He was "Little Feat, Little Feat, Little Feat." I was "Allman Brothers, Allman Brothers, Allman Brothers."
We argued from Italy to London, when I ran across one of those "various artists' compilation albums" in a record store. There was one song by the Allman Brothers..."Black Hearted Woman" from the first album.
I had the album at home, but I bought it anyway, took it back to the dorm where we were staying, found some guys who had a stereo, pulled Hasbrouck into their room, put on the song and played it for him.
I had to keep holding up my hand and telling him, "Wait! There's more!" every time he thought the song was over.
I converted him that day and he went to every Allman Brothers Concert he could find after that until the band finally broke up.
I absolutely agree with you that the band wouldn't really work if you took away any one member. That's why I don't listen (as a rule) to any ABB recordings after Duane died.
Also, if you're Eric Clapton fans and have been marveling at his guitar work on Layla...that's not Clapton. That's Duane Allman. Find the isolated lead track (Duane) and vocals (Eric) here.
th-cam.com/video/Jfj3QhJ3Xmk/w-d-xo.html
Although there are only two members of the band left, I'm thankful to you for introducing a new generation to the best band who ever came out of America...and to the best guitarist who every picked up a Gibson (or any guitar, really).
This band was one of my Dads favourites growing up. Of course I didn't really click with this band until actually their 1990 album Seven Turns which was considered their comeback album, still what a great band even though I started with their later material I went back to check out their 60s and 70s work and boy those are classics and untouchable. Great reaction dude!
The original is legend... Also again in 1990 when Warren Haynes joined... Then again in '99 when Derek trucks joined. Sad Duane passed so young.
Welcome to a different generation. I grew up on this.
i wonder if these 2 kids actually realize exactly what they're seeing and listening to? for it is rarer than haley's comet!!!
Trust me we do
Singer/ keyboads is Greg Allman, lead guitar is Duane Allman. Greg wrote this song when he was 19, it was recorded 2 years later in March 1969. Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident on October 25, 1971; on November 11, 1972 bassist Berry Oakley died on the same road from a motorcycle accident.
The o g's of southern rock long before Lynyrd Skynyrd. Marshall tucker And thirty eight special.... Also Being that they were integrated, they weren't allowed to play Anywhere in the South.Remember , jim crow
Your Allman Brothers Line-up ~~ Duane Allman - Lead & Slide Guitar ~~ Gregg Allman ~ Keyboards & Vocals ~~ Dickey Betts -Lead Guitar ~~ Berry Oakley -Bass & Vocals ~~ Jaimoe - Drums & Percussion ~~ Butch Trucks - Drums & Tympani ( He is the Uncle of Slide Guitar maestro Derek Trucks who joined the Band at the Ripe old Age of 19 in 1999)
Gad your experiencing. Sounds "sped up" though. Maybe this version. Not much, but some. I'll listen though. BTW" Gregg wrote this at 20. No tricky engineering, no auto tune, just kick ass music.
They are #1 on the list of the three best southern rock bands ever as far as I’m concerned.
they ARE "the list"
This is the music I grew up on in the south ,the Allman Brothers, C.D.B, ZZTOP, SRV, BBKING, Janis Joplin, Lynyrd Skynyrd will take you to church and made you testify that you received music you can feel !
As someone who saw the original band live and has been listening to them for 50 plus years, I can tell you your next choice should come from their live album called,"at Fillmore East". It is considered by many as the best live blues album ever recorded. Whipping post which you just heard is also on that album and in my opinion considered the best version. The album I'm talking about was recorded between March 12th and 14th 1971. I believe most if not all of the songs on the live album that I mentioned came from the 13th and 14th. It's a double album that carried over to the next album,"eat a peach".
The band had six members: Duane Allman, lead guitar and slide lead guitar plus unofficial leader of band; Richard "Dickey" Betts, lead guitarist, songwriter, singer; Gregg Allman, singer, songwriter, Hammond B3 organ; Berry Oakley, bass player (x lead guitarist), Jai Johansson, drums and percussion and Butch trucks, drums. During the three nights of this concert at the Fillmore East they had a 7th player, a good friend on harmonica, Thom Doucette.
Well, there's a brief history. Now, may I make a suggestion for your next Allman Brothers song. My choice would be "you don't love me" off of the live album, "at Fillmore East".
I think I'd go with "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" next. All are worthy of review though.
Remember Duane ALLMAN! ❤️🎶
I don't think he just went to heaven, he went to Rock n' Roll heaven and still playing epic guitar !
DUANE ALLMAN & DICKIE BETTS! LORD! Saw them during this tour,ridiculous live as you've just seen. Do Statesboro Blues from same concert.
Welcome to real, honest, raw, music!! Think about this for a minute........countless studio credits to your credit in Muscle Shoals with the likes of Aretha Franklin, King Curtis, Boz Skaggs, Wilson Pickett, Clarence Carter, and many others, having the vision and organization to put together what would become the ABB and getting them out on the road, recording 2 excellent studio albums and most of a third with the band plus the greatest live album ever, more studio work including recording the "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" album with Eric Clapton, Bobby Whitlock, Carl Radle, and Jim Gordon, also one of the greatest albums of all time, and tragically dead at the tender age of 24.........That's Duane Allman! Long history of this great band that lasted until the final curtain went down at the Beacon Theater in NYC in 2014. I encourage you to dig VERY deep into this wonderful band!
Just caught your 25 or 6 to 4, live at Tanglewood review, now the Allman Brothers...making some good picks. Dig deeper in to Duane Allmans story, playing and the early days of the band. Duane Allman and Boz Skaggs "Loan me a dime" is a good example of his talent.
And with Wilson Pickett on “Hey Jude” and Derek and The Dominos on the ‘Layla’ album, of course.
Thanks RockMusic. One word . . . ZEPPELIN. Just a thought 😉
Rolling Stone Magazine put 4 of the ABB's guitarists from their 45 year long career on their 100 Best Guitarists List , Original members Duane Allman & Dickey Betts and later members Warren Haynes & Derek Trucks .
The Allman Brothers Band! Now you're talkin'!!
The vocalist , also on Hammond organ, Gregg Allman, wrote this in his teens! Two drummers!!! This was in 5/4! His bro, Duane, on lead guitar along with Dickey Betts on the other lead. The progenitors of Southern Rock.
3:55
I think that you’re listening to some great music but it’s just a bit out of date! OK great music never dies but new great music is incoming all of the time!
I’m a 70+ year old rocker that really appreciates great music, I’m going to suggest you take a look at The Warning, a band of 3 sisters from Monterey Mexico. The have been around since 2014 when they were 10, 13 and 15 and covered Enter Sandman by Metallica. It went viral and they just got better and better from then on. They toured last year with some of the really top bands like Guns n Roses; honestly you really should check them out even if out don’t react to them! I’m also pretty certain your mom would like them especially if you showed her the performance from 2014!
Two lead guitars, two drummers. Dwayne Allman and Gregg Allman, Dwayne lead guitar, and singer, Gregg were brothers. The other lead guitarist was Dickey Betts.
Lol...Lord watching you to is gonna give me whiplash! Enjoyed watching though!
Yes, they had a fine bassist, Barry Oakley, who played much more than just a simple bass line. He had to keep up with Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, doubling many of the same melody and/or harmony notes, an octave or two lower, and some just rhythm bass. His bass is just difficult to hear, at times, on this video.
He raps because he didn't grow up in the 70's lol
southern rock...another band to check out is Black Oak Arkansas.....Jim Dandy
The lead singer is Gregg Allman on keyboards and the first lead guitar is Dwayne Allman who unfortunately died in a motorcycle accident sometime in the 70's.
And bassist Berry Oakley also died in a motorcycle accident a little over a year after Duane died.
Twin gutairs, twin drummers
This performance was recorded for a PBS special that never aired for some reason.
As for rock vs. rap. Way too many of my fellow old people are utter hypocrites about it. We were constantly told by our elders that our music was nothing but noise. How dare they say the same thing about the music of today's kids. I remember being told over and over that the Beatles were "noise" and that they had "no talent."
SKYDOG just ripping Dickey too.
Man, you need to lose that Blue Jays hat and get a Tigers hat.....you'd be Mark Fidrych" twin.
It’s a horrible rendition lol
Sothern Rock legends for sure, also Lynyrd Skynyrd those two were the foundation of this style of music. Also Molly Hatchet is pretty good.
Brother if you are just now getting into rock, you have just dipped your toe into the pond you have 50 years of rock in roll to catch up on
What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been.......as our friends The Grateful Dead said!
Gregg Allman on keys. Duane Allman on lead guitar. Dickie Betts on the other lead guitar.
I'm listening to your closing comments,Gregg was a voice for the ages... Here's a link to him in a radio studio just himself and his guitar. He did a solo album in'74th-cam.com/video/3kQ8o0QC7Bw/w-d-xo.html
Allman bros are awesome #1
Stevie Ray Vaughan
voodoo chile
Greg plays the Hammond organ like no other.
and he started to play rather late in his young life. He had to have B-3 Hammond ! It had a bright sound like no other, kind of like a church one.
Welcome, wait till you listen to the studio versions of your Allman adventure..this is a great song but sometimes the technology on older live performance doesn't capture the magic.
Dont make the mistake of wondering out loud if there is a bass player with any classic/hard rock band. They all do
Twin drum attack! Listen to the original. It'll take your head off!
SOME RANDOM FACTS: At the time this concert was recorded, singer/organist Gregg Allman was 23 years old and big brother Duane on lead guitar was 24. The show seen here was released as the double LP set _At Fillmore East_ in August 1971. That album catapulted the Allman Brothers Band to immediate superstardom and was certified gold just a few weeks later on October 15. Exactly 14 days after that, a month before his 25th birthday, Duane Allman died in a motorcycle wreck in Macon, Georgia 10/29/1971. Bassist Berry Oakley, who was 22 in this video, died a year later in a motorcycle wreck on the same street. Not positive but I believe the two drummers were the oldest members and both were 26 in this video; Butch Trucks, the long-haired drummer, is the uncle of present-day slide guitar master Derek Trucks.
And Derek is a genius and he and his wife Susan Tedeschi form their own band today, the Tedeschi-Trucks band. NOT TO BE MISSED.
Derek and the Dominos. Eric Clapton and Dwayne Allman. Layla.
Two stoners head bobbing their way through one of the most outstanding performances ever.
Notice the one drummer looks like Matthew McConaughey?
Great reaction! But.... "not sure they have a bass player?" Better listen to the opening riff one more time. One of the most famous and memorable bass lines ever!
Great video of a Great Band, one of my favorites of all time. Love your review great to see the smile's on you faces while hearing this for the first time.
There are some excellent covers by Frank Zappa! Started as an audience request when they didn’t know it ended as a regular encore track
Were you not paying attention to the video, Greg Allman, singing and playing the keyboard.
Greg Allman(vocals, organ) was a force of nature. It's great to see these reactions and watch the music I grew up loving being found by a new generation. Keep it up! P.S. I was also a rapper for 25yrs, but rock never left me.
Great who was the
Lead singer was playing the keyboard. Older music is so good a lot of the rappers sample a lot of it to make their song sound better.
