I live on Long Island
I still cannot believe that they played at Hofstra University. I was 10 yrs old at the time of this phenomenal performance. Holy shit Dicky Betts kicked some royal ass. His strings were smokin' .I was born in the wrong era. Wish I could have been in attendance.
Great performance by all and Dickie played his ass off, that used to be a two guitar punch with Duane, this is the first time i've heard it with just Dickie and he kicked ass, not the easiest thing to play under any circumstance but without Duane an even more remarkable accomplishment. Geez, what a great band they were.
Agree . I think Dickie betts deserves more recognition than he gets . Duane allman gets most of the praise and rightfully so he was truly amazing and accomplished so much in a short amount of time . But Dickie betts is great in his own right and had to step up under really hard circumstances . They was an incredible duo that was second to none for the brief period allman brothers had the original lineup
There is a bunch of tape of the 5 piece band. Go look for it! This is unique in that Berry Oakley and Chuck Leavell were in the band!
@@joelfox3738 - I'm kinda stuck on the idea that Dickie didnt just step up, i think he was always that good its just that Duane overshadowed Dickie, Duane always said that DIckie was the man. He did have In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Blue Sky and Jessica already in his writing catalog. I think the spotlight just caught up to how good Dickie really was the whole time but now only he at (guitar) was featured. I dont know, maybe just a kink in my thinking.
I agree!
Gregg could sure sing about his blues . Hope you're resting in peace brother
One of my favorite songs by ABB. I could feel Greggs pain. I know his brother was with him. Long live ABB. Forever. Rest in Paradise.
ABB was definitely still channeling or operating every night as if Skydog was still on stage with them... kind of like as a finger, hand or leg was just cut off still doing it without feeling the real loss before - some time or thought! I give them credit for still sounding and playing at Fillmore live level though missing a major link in the band as Gregg is surely singing here and for the next year or two after this perfomance at full ABB early recording quality still with Duanne "Skydog" Allman leader powers!
Lovable, sweet, shy and kind Gregory. Truly a Gentleman. I miss you 😢
These are the days I just listen to the Allman Brothers on the radio & use to get 8 track tape's to listen to band . Today is Oct 25, 2023. 4:31 p.m.🎼
I was fortunate enough to have been there. There was definitely a dark cloud hanging overhead, which made the performance that much more intense. Didn't realize it was Berry's last show.
There ain’t no such thing as dying!! You are right Gregory ♥️🦋😇👍🏻
I was there, little OG turning 15 the next wk. My greatest regret is that the prior year I passed on the show they did at a movie theater in Huntington (LI).
I would have seen Brother Duane.
RIP all the great ABB members who have passed. True masters ❤
RIP-Gregg. One of your many fine performances that we loved . Thank you.
you want great, all you have to say is The Allman Brothers. no body better.
I SAW THEM IN 1989 IN ATLANTA GEORGIA AT A PAVILLION CALLED THE CHASTAIN AMPHITHEATRE AND WAS A GREAT SHOW, WHIPPING POST WAS THE LAST SONG ON THE SET LIST AND LIKE THIS ONE IT WENT ON FOREVER
This is so heart wrenching to watch. They are still in mourning esp. Gregg. You can see it in his eyes. Didn't realize at the 10:15 mark Gregg ad-libs the lyrics, singing "there's no such thing as dying" He is pouring out his anguish in the song and more tragedy was yet to come unfortunately with the death of Berry a week or so later.
That’s not an ad-lib. He had been singing it for almost a year at this point.
Band Played their hearts out on this one!
John I am a Gregg Allman fan. Always was & always wii be!!
The end of an era with the death of Gregg Allman.
John Rambo Amen never again will there be bands like this one and Lynerd Skynerd..we are from the same area they all came from GOD bless you and yours
Raw Beauty.... Unforgettable.
You’re listening to some of the best to EVER do it.
Agreed 100%
Also agreed 💯 % !!!
I know.
Dickey was right on during this performance and he used vibrato more than you realize. Gregg’s voice was clear as a bell. Great job by all.
There isn’t much video of the early band so this tape is incredibly interesting!
The greatest band ever
I saw an interview with Gregg Allman on tv one time years ago. He got kind of pissed off when the interviewer referred to them as " Southern rock". He let the interviewer know straight up that all rock and roll is southern, born in the south as a mixture of blues, gospel , jazz and country music. Damn straight!!
Cant' say I blame him; however, knowing that the ABB came from the south, I can't help but feel a regional pride being a southerner myself.
@@fredevans7117 I remember that interview and the interview was an idiot...I was surprised Gregg didn't get on up and walk out the door...but he IS a Southern Gentleman....
I can listen to this 24/7. Great performance🥰
Wow!!!! The Ending was sooo haunting and Beautiful!!!! You could hear the pain in Greg's voice. Just over a year after loosing Duane
GreGG. But,, you're so right. This aired on both, the East and West Coast, it was a free concert for television, that is why it's at a college...but. this song is really haunting...listen to the words at the end...even in the middle. He changes them to "there aiin't no such thing as dying..." He cannot pull himself together and band kind of takes over for him....really sad. Oh sorry, you reference the ending,,,I though you meant of an era, not the song...sorry.
The best! Thanks.
Rip Raymond Berry Oakley III
RIP Greg
Amazing.
Wow! Never seen this before. Berry Oakley's last concert? Maybe? He died 11/11/72, nine days after this show.
+John Joseph C I agree with you. like WOW...far out! LOL I Still have some brain cells left from the decade surrounding that era. And I am holding on to them. Now an old fart... Just an old hippie, don't know what to do. Hanging on to the old and grabbing the new.
Joe Logger , yes this was Berry's last concert. He liked to walk around the stage to see how they sounded from different spots. You can really see that on "one way out" from this show, very cool. So much talent.
Love this performance. For you guitarists/musicians paying attention. you can clearly hear that the song is in A major, not minor. Although it may have a minor feel, and the solos tend to be in A dorian, that C# rings loud and clear in the progression. Now you know. :)
That is cool that you know it. I wish I had been trained to be a musician.
Thanks for sharing the info brother . I'm a drummer who is learning guitar and can use the extra tips 😎
A Bm C.....
It is primarily in A major correct but the verses go A, Bm7, Am7/C, the instrumental break down where it rises up the scale is in A Dorian and the ending chords is an Am9. So lots of modal mixture in this song.
Barry was to pass so quickly after this. RIP to two brilliant young players.
Berry.
I've been run down
I've been lied to
I don't know why,
I let that mean woman make me a fool
She took all my money
Wrecks my new car
Now she's with one of my good time buddies
They're drinkin' in some cross town bar
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I've been tied
To the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Good lord I feel like I'm dyin'
My friends tell me
That I've been such a fool
And I have to stand down and take it babe,
All for lovin' you
I drown myself in sorrow
As I look at what you've done
Nothin' seems to change
Bad times stay the same
And I can't run
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I've been tied
To the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Good lord I feel like I'm dyin'
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I've been tied
To the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Good lord I feel like I'm dyin'
hey, your a fart smeller, I mean, a smart feller!
Perfect job!
This is the first time I remember seeing the ABBs after Duane's tragic death. Did you notice that at the end of this version, he says "Some times I feel, Some times I feel
OH, Lord don't you know that I know...there AIN'T NO SUCH THING as DYING!" This is one grieving band. All of them look run down and worn out....sad times would come again shortly....
When Gregg sings this version of Whipping Post at Hofstra, the entire band was still very much in mourning and feeling the pain from the loss of Brother Duane, in addition to embracing the healing process through whatever means necessary. Just watch Gregg closely while he belts out the vocals of WP, good Lord you can actually see and feel his pain....At about the 10:15 time mark of this Live version, Gregg ad-libs the lyrics, singing "there's no such thing as dying"......yes, this is Brother Berry's last live performance with the ABB...very haunting ad-libed lyrics from Gregg for sure, and equally reflective and prophetic, as Brother Berry would be lost less than ten days later....A wise old bluesman told me a long long time ago, to sing and play the blues, you gotta live the blues..................The road goes on forever.....through the music!
stay off the weed bud Joe has it going in the right direction. Greg probably not feeling a whole lot depressed about his brother's death since this concert took place 9 days before his death. thats right no reason for pain before his untimely death. maybe on Nov 12 he ain't feeling too good
Duane, Gregg's actual brother and founder of the band, died October 29th of 1971. That's right, one year almost to the day BEFORE this show. Berry Oakley died nine days AFTER. So yes, he was probably still pretty depressed.
Ben - are you truly this ignorant or are you trolling?
+ben zinman you would be smart and in your best interest to shut the f.. 👆..
+David Gillette Right on David... You can't fix stupid in Ben's case anyway...
I wonder if that was my mama in the audience standing and dancing. ;)
I saw this lineup play the former Music Hall in Boston either spring or summer (I’m pretty sure) in ‘73.
Leavell by then was playing an even bigger role.
And I’m pretty sure he played more than just the Fender Rhodes.
Why isn't this available on DVD??? Incredible.
I cant believe they played @ Hofstra university, a local college!
It was a free show and they weren't sure that they would be accepted without Duane.
They used to play SUNY Stony Brook all the time. Also, CW Post.
Berry Oakley's last show with the Brothers
amen
There will never again be bands like this in and Lynerd Skynerd as well we are from the South the same area as they all where from...Gregg Allman looks like the bling version of Gary Rossington
are you cookoo bird?
ras124 Hello what are you talking about? You must be on drugs what does your statement even mean? Your the nut case here
boa noite...... estou em sp/brasil.... eu sempre achei que as 2 bandas se parecem..... inclusive quando aab fica só com 1 guitarrista ( morte de duane allman ).... parece o mesmo que aconteceu com l.s. .... ficou com 2 guitarristas... ( saida de ed.king ) parece que perdeu um pouco a magia.... mas sao 2 super bandas..... viva o rock
Extry good
Dang, so, this must have been right before the bass player, Oakley, passed away tragically.
btw...I saw them at RFK stadium in 70-71? If you remember stuff from back then. Most that were 'THERE' then can't remember it...LOL
Hey John Jackson! I see you in the audience!! Lol
Whatever troubles Gregg had, they did not come close to the troubles of those who were tied to the whipping post.
shut up
Sadly, Berry left this earth 9 days later
Sometimes < It Takes Two. (Drummers That Is).....Good GOD>
Is that Chuck Leavell on Rhodes?
Yes, Berry and Chuck only played together a short time. There is a version of WP in 72 without Chuck. 5 man band. You tube it Hollywood Bowl 1972. Dickey is great. Simaler to this but different without piano.
@@nedjohnson5200 - there are other shows from 1972 available. Go listen. Great music!
blonde jesus love how alll the dudes from the 70s looked like Jesus Duane was a ginger
Right, now they all have this way short hair....it doesn't even matter if they go bald! Look how nice that hair is. Notice how Berry cut his hair like Duane's. This was his last show, I think. I think it was their first one after Duane's death too. Listen to the way he changes the words at the end of whipping post and, at about 7:45. I listened really closely and made out something about him watching him right now...talking to Duane....hear it?
Was a free show.
@@judygirl3102 The first show after Duane's death was on November 22 in 1971 at C.W. Post College Campus in Greenvale, only a couple weeks after his funeral and almost a year prior to this show. The band pretty much immediately started playing dates again after Duane's death.
This is in fact Berry's last show before his death 9 days later.
... and it's natural and apparent that Gregg and Berry are blitzed.
you stink, I mean, you think?
Duane had just died, these men are worn out from crying...this is one of the first (Maybe the first) shows they did after Duane's death...listen to how he changes the last line of his own song....He says "Lord don't ya know...I know, there ain't no such thing as dying." Give them a break...geez....
No way. Clean as a whistle!
Now she's with one of my, part-time lawyers... Never caught that before. Not a good time for the guys.
if this was just before Barry Oakley died how is Duane in the first part...i stand corrected, it was Barry i saw.
Berry.
Chuck Leavell was right on target, but you can tell that Dickey Betts just wasn’t feeling’ it that night. Lord I wish they had invited Les Dudek into the lineup at that time. He would have pushed Dickey to be a lot better, just like Duane did.
Dickey was awesome!
Man ! Betts is on Fire here ! Floating like a Butterfly AND Stingin " like a Bee !! I think you better listen again and again .
was 13 at the time. haha haha. rebel tune
grow up!
Berry would be gone in another week. Too soon.
Berry.
it's true. sorry.
ok...if u want to try some new oldies, enter 60's or 70's underground or psychedelic music in deffering orders.
