Summary:
On this date, Bill Graham assembled a stellar roster of bands to participate in the filming of a television special called Welcome To The Fillmore East for broadcast on educational channels. Short sets were filmed by the Byrds, the Elvin Bishop Group, Sha-Na-Na, Van Morrison, and the Allman Brothers Band, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of Bill Graham and the Fillmore East staff at work.
The Allman Brothers performance is nothing short of spectacular and features the original lineup that included Duane Allman and Berry Oakley. Recorded six months prior to the legendary Live At Fillmore East double album set, this performance captures the Allman Brothers when they were a relatively new band, full of youthful passion and performing what would become classic original material when it was fresh and new.
Following Bill Graham's introduction, they kick things off with a tight performance of "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'," which features the band's friend, Tom Doucette, blowing harp over the group's trademark sound. Gregg's vocal is barely audible, but it's obvious the group is full of fire. "Dreams," which follows, slows things down a bit and the group establishes a relaxed groove that showcases their trademark sound, blending elements that would eventually come to define "Southern Rock."
They hit their stride on the next number, Dickey Betts' "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed." Here, the dual guitar attack of Allman and Betts is astounding. The two guitarists intertwine and synchronize in a manner nothing short of telepathic, creating a melting pot seasoned with elements of jazz, rock, country, and blues into a style utterly their own. The set ends with a ferocious take of "Whipping Post" that features outstanding melodic bass playing from Berry Oakley, with both Duane Allman and Dickey Betts soaring over the propulsive rhythm section. Shorter than the expansive versions that would develop in coming months, this is all the more fascinating for it, as they compress an incredible amount of energy into the time allotted.
Time constrictions and vocal microphone malfunctions aside, this is still a fascinating performance. This original lineup of the band was certainly one of the most innovative and captivating bands to ever play the Fillmore. - Hudba

Like if you’re watching in 2024
February 17, 2024.
Met Dickey in Tempe and hung out with him, talking Les Pauls, when I was a teenager in September 1973. (I knew Jaimoe’s cousin from high school in Tucson.) Got to watch that night’s concert from backstage.
2-26-2024. I was at an Allman Brothers concert in the 70s and I remember most of it 😂🎉❤
@@JohnDesPortes-du5yd that is awesome!!!
@@philhiller-mn1gw Wish I could’ve experienced their power in person. Amazing!
Of course
R.I.P. Dickey Betts. Today hurts on so many levels
It dose hurt but dang he left some great music. RIP Dickey Betts
Yes sir,FN FORREST RICHARD BETTS,God were has the time gone,greatest band ever,NOT EVEN CLOSE
Sheeeeshus get a life
but we all know our time is coming nothing we can do
All the levels.
The people in that audience were watching one of the greatest bands in rock history ❤🎶
RIP Dickey
And one of the most iconic shows in history as well.
Oh yeah. No doubt about it.
Their sound was fantastic. A blend of blues and southern rock.
And 5 days after Jimi passing. I would assume hard to play and listen with such heavy hearts
And like me, most are in their mid 70's now and still love this music. There is nothing like it today, and there never will be.
Dickey is now shredding with Duane again.
Rest in Peace!
Amen to that............
And Greg
With Jeff Healey on slide guitar the three of them be Jamming one hell of a tune.🎉 The fuck on.
@@brettallison5753 You're taking Jeff over Duane on slide. You're kidding right?
@@stevenseul361 didn't say that.I said with, which would then mean together.
This is perhaps, one of the greatest pieces of rock music ever recorded.
Amen to that!
Always my favorite and they had much to choose from. One of the best ever. Two bad ass brothers!!!
This song is a masterpiece!
@@susanlevine9404 it was the first Allman brothers song I really heard back in 71 or 72'
Yup. One of the best, and IMO not even the best version of the song! The 1971 live version is 23 minutes long, incredibly raw and a rollercoaster. I like Duane’s first theme in that more than the 1970. You can see they spent the year perfecting it and mastering their parts.
I firmly believe our generation had the very best music, late 1960s to mid 1970s.
We did. So lucky. The problem is, that we got spoiled. The present offerings are such drivel we can only satisfy ourselves with all the excellent music from the past.
agreed and this performance took place 7 years prior to both of my parents being born..
alice in chains is close, especially the live performance of ‘love hate love’ and tool is also pretty good, maybe the deftones first 2 albums but other than that nothing even close to late 60s / early 70s! very jealous of those that got to hear the greats of that era live.
Yes! before disco and punk soured things and 1918 to 1932 with, Le Hot Jazz was cool too!
you did, but you also fucked our economy, so thanks, i guess
And the 90's...
On the day of Betts passing away, what more needs to be said...
warren is still here to wipe the tears away
I was there. I’m 66 I snuck out of my parents house to take the subway to thhe Fillmore. The all time greatest songs ever
So what adult took you to the Fillmore East at age 13 in 1970 ?
@@NathanThePrezPretlowwhy is it so far fetched that a 13 yo could’ve snuck in?
I’ve met 13yo kids on the street that could scam the wallets off of the both of us simultaneously.
@@NathanThePrezPretlow For me, it was a Sister (age 17 then) who took me to Fillmore to see John Mayall. At 14, I went alone to see Leon Russell, for whom Elton John was the opening act.
@@NathanThePrezPretlow I seen Jimi in Detroit in 1969 and I was 13. I went with a couple guys around 17 so I guess they would be adults :-) Peace
Only the best (or worst)@@NathanThePrezPretlow
I was one month in Vietnam when this was recorded. Music helped me survive.
Thanks for your service to this country!
God Bless You, Sir! And Thank you for your service and sacrifice!
Thank you so very much for your service and all our freedom we have each and every day!!
Thank you for your service. It’s people like you that are the reason we’re here today. Thank you.
WELCOME HOME BROTHER!
Imagine how proud I was when my 21 year old son pulled up in his truck with the windows down and this song on full blast. The greatest bands never get old!!
You raised him right T-Man!
Boy had good taste. Must have heard this from folks. My 2 boys grew up with both rock classics & classical music
😂
Love it 🥰! ✌️
@@dalepurvis2412I saw them live in da 1971
My older cousin gave me the live double album. After he died about forty years later I then gave it to his grandson. Stuff like this needs to be passed down and heard.
This recording is 53 years old today and still rocks.
It's timeless
That is the truth.
Yeah--
Wow. I was 1 yr old.
And I know for a fact my dad has this album and rocked it Loud, for my infant enjoyment as well as to instill good taste in artist driven music.
Ain’t no fakin it.
An era where individuals had to play instruments and blend the sound to make music. Now, most seems to be a computer program.
We who grew up in that era were witness to the greatest music ever played....
Yes yes yes - Blessed and Honored 👵🏽✌🏾🔥🔥🔥
Amen!
I named my daughter Melissa. After My Sweet Melissa❤ I lost her in the 9th month utero😢
Me
I was there...I’m 74😀😀
Dicky betts doesn’t get enough credit he is killing it here
Those that know DB give him lots of credit...he started playing at age of 6yrs old....on mandolin then guutar and your right he can jam.👍
Betts Is the best music orquestrator eva
Guess Dicky was the better guitarist, comparing to Duane. Anyway I loved those 2 playing together, awesome.
just googled him to educate myself from your comment thank you.
Absolutely right about that Dicky is a master
it's called talent
Huge..no music today can match this effort and god given talent!! So right 👍🏻
At my girlfriend’s house, watching the abc news with her and her parents hearing this 'Dickey Betts, Founding The Allman Brothers Band Guitarist, Dead at 80', man that hit me hard after almost 2 years went to Rose Hill Cemetery to pay my respects to the Allman Brothers at their graves… rip Dickey, see you in the Blue Sky.
🥀 RIP Dickey Betts... I have renovated many houses in my life when I'm feeling exhausted, burned out, but still wanna GET ER DONE ✅ I listen to the Allmans! Somehow 2nd wind 🌬️ shows up, good music is fuel ⛽ thank you sooooo much Allman Bros for being THERE for me!! Best wishes to the fans from Buckeye Arizona 😎🫵🏼🌵🐎💙🇺🇸
Cool I do the same thing
if this is a pseudonym for Richard Douglas. Hiya mate. if not sorry I bothered you.
@@philipwebb1883 no bother my brother I really am Douglas Richardson 🤠
Right back at ya, from Pahrump, Nv.
Such a perfect use for their music 🎶 they worked so hard at their craft
This music is timeless, 100 years from now, there will be some people sitting around listening to this, and enjoying it like we are now
Beethoven 5th of blues rock
What a band, what an era. We were born in a great musical time. For that I’ll forever be thankful …
500 yrs from now,they certainly pass the test of time,GOAT,and it's not even close
Jammin in Valhalla!
@@mistymountainfolk2437great music and MUCH more freedom than the young ones have today.
Hot damn if this ain’t on fire in 2024, y’all.
I totally agree!!
Light me up hahaha 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love you too
Robert you listening 🤣🤣🤣🤣 hahaha 🤣 I'm in Love hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 CRAZY women hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hot Damn is right! They're amazing!!!
@@lesliehilesgardener6959Give me a toke!!
I just weep... literally cry like an infant everytime I play this video. This is the pinnacle; the gold standard of jam band rock.
It's fantastic, I admit. But you're probably weeping for your long-departed youth. :-)
I do that with a few songs that they sing Ramblin Man is one and the other one of course is Midnight Rider I cry and cry and cry some more those times are gone I miss them so much
How great is that! They're in all their glory here! I am jealous - all of the original members.
Same, I get very emotional. I was lucky enough to see the original and all the versions to the very end at the Beacon........
agreed
More musical creativity occurred in this 11 minutes and 22 seconds than most bands will discover in a life time these days.
That's because the music came first in those days. Today, it's about image, hype, money, lawyers, corporate BS, and digital perfection to the point that even if somebody writes a good song, the production has all the little flaws engineered out of it. The end result often sounds bland and sterile, even if it's loud and fast. We can thank pitch and time correction for that. Todays music just doesn't breathe like this old stuff did.
Agree, but do not forget Frank Zappa
@@oskarvikstrom229 You can not forget Frank Zappa. He's in a class by himself.
I quit listening to music radio in 81-82 a cause there war nothing new coming out. A few good bands, did a few good songs, but they were all just rehashes of a styles that had already been done for as much as 80 years(blues).
And you are correct, very little over the past 40 years compares to the 25 years from 1955 till 1980!
@@jpalberthoward9 There are plenty of bad old bands, they just aren't being listened to. There's plenty of good music now, far more good music than there used to be. Unfortunately you aren't going to find new music in your 40 year old record collection, who knew?
This is what playing 300 gigs in 1970 will get you. Absolute perfection. 🔥❤️🎶. God Bless the memory of Duane and Gregg Allman, Berry Oakley and Butch Trucks. My favorite band of all time.
Année 70 qu'elle musique sublime
Only band tighter in my opinion is Carlos Santanas. And that's opinion....
@@richardfoster9890 You had to of missed Leonard Skinard.
The greatest guitar loaded band of all time. Fly high Skydog and all the Brothers of the Road
Me too.
Duane, Berry, Butch, Gregg, and now Dickie... All Legends, all gone now... only Jaimoe remains alive at age 79.
One of the greatest Live Bands ever!!
The best live performance by any band at any time in my 72 years on earth. The whole album is so powerful. See you guys in Paradise. ✌️♥️
🙏🙏🙏
✌
I saw Duane 4 times including as a backup band and the final weekend at the Fillmore and the next to last show at Stonybrook. I was directly under Duane for the 2nd set at Stonybrook.
Agreed 62 on earth
Amen!!!
This track is what my guitar listens to when im not home
🤣
I bet it pretty good at playing it too! 👍😁
@@sublimnalphish7232 almost as good as Skydog :P
YES!
Lol
Let's all take a moment to soak in that Greg Allman wrote this at 22. Long live the brothers.
Not only wrote it at 22, but holy fuck, that fucking VOICE at 22
Gregg and Duane both had incredible God given gifts. Unfortunately, the adulation and drugs got their hold too soon. Many of the deadly sins come calling with such for too many, especially those in "high esteem".
Dicky betts was a monster and under appreciated.
@@jimdarhower4945 Dickie is his own worst enemy.
How the fuck is this crowd sitting.
Absolutely heartbroken to lose this man ! A true talent, a true person ! (RIP - DB)💔
I can’t stop crying man.
And both brothers! There would be no Allman Bros band or that signature sound w/out all 3 of them!!
@@wiseriverhealing 💔
@@gwenhopkins4227 Fact !
Just saw this for the first time as a 21 year old. My jaw has been dropped for pretty much the entire song, what an amazing performance all the way through!
5 days later and I keep coming back, such a cool performance. I’ve got some of my buddies hooked on this band now too. No better time for good classic music than the start of summer!
There’s so much more too!!! Enjoy 🎶
I'm pushing 75. These are my generation's licks. We got the best, thank you.
35 here, completely agree. Fuckin jealous, but that’s why they make vinyl I suppose, or CZcams for that matter. Peace
I'm closing in on 71, loved the best bands of our generation...last year I skydived for my 70th birthday..we keep on rocking and rolling🎵☮
@@cornstorm666 Me too 71 in 14 days time,I was based in Long Beach California for some time and used to buy albums from Licquorice Pizza downtown for $2 a throw,sometimes even less.Our music was,is and always will be the best.First heard Duane Allman on a 60cent Warner Bros.sampler playing Loan Me Dime with Boz Scaggs.
71 here, and I agree.
I'm 73 and both my daughters know every Allman song. We must teach our children well.
Best twin guitars ever. Betts and Duane were monsters together.
@Christopher Ross I hear ya bud.
Don't forget danny kirwan who passed away in 2016 and the great peter green who is like one of the most underrated guitarist who unfortunately passed away just a few days ago. They were a killer duo too.
Betts and Duane in the same band.........just not fair
@@wesmatthews5532 I hear ya. All that talent...
Yes but I will add John Cipolina and Gary Duncan as a good second duo
How can there only be 97k likes for one of the greatest blues rock songs of all time?!!! C’mon people!
@AnnaRaymond-gm4fu unfortunately no. I was only 9 when they first came on the scene. But wished I had at least seen them in their later line-ups.
These musicians were not kings, nor prophets, just great musicians that had a window of opportunity, a musical time that was special, and they jumped through. At this time, we wanted to change something, maybe saw that rainbow, but could never quite touch it.
Those days are gone, I don't think this type of music will return. But if by chance it does, the youth who truly know music and truly know what "the possibilities" are, will be there honoring what was once.
They lived life as it was at the time.And yep,those times are gone.Its unfortunate in a humanistic view.
Yes they were ❤.
❤
Stevie Ray, Jimmie and a few others had this much soul and left way too soon.
You know it’s a great band when you have Two Lead Guitarist and Two Drummers!!
My son is 21. He discovered them one night when I was playing their songs, only the millionth time. He listened and fell for it. He's a guitar player, really good slide player, just needs some practice, but a really natural talent. I'm a proud mama.
A AWSUM job being a father and great that your son is NOT like so MANY malinials to just NOT recognize REAL genius
do whatever you need to do to encourage and support him. we need our youth to remember and embrace real musicians like Duane
stress to him the trick is to stick w it and never let himself give up no matter who says what or when he gets down,........heres to open d tuning.....
@@yeti8it396nice job shitting on millennials when A. you can't even spell it and B. you are calling her a father when her last sentence says "proud mama"
Have y’all heard Chris Whitley before?
American genius. Working guys who loved playing in all sense. Never gets old..
More true facts!
I was turned on to the Allmans after the Dead when I was 18 in 86, and my life was never the same after hearing Whipping Post Fillmore 71. ❤😂🎉😊
Dicky's not underrated, Duane is just a fucking beast. An absolute beast.
Duane in this peice is just slayin' and I love Dicky dancing at the same time lets face it Dicky is no Duane but Duane brings out the best in Dicky who is like ok kid now my turn and he tries to top the kid really something special right here.
***** He is indeed!!
They're both awesome. No one could play like Duane and no one (maybe with the exception of Clapton) was as smooth as Dickey
***** the way I see it ……... Duanes awesome solo doesn't take anything away from Dickys awesome solo.
+Christopher Hitchens When Duane played the slide the world stopped.
How on earth does a 21 year old Gregg Allman write a song like "Whipping Post?" Pretty sure he was born an old soul.
Chasin the dragon.... Duane.....
Some of the lyrics/ideas are probably from the blues that these guys were inspired by
god given talent
pastiche...
2nd or 3rd time....
I have watched this video a hundred times and it never fails to give me chills, goosebumps and my spirit soars. Such beautiful music created by these geniuses.
This is one of the best video uploads of this performance.
❤👏👏❤✌️🌼❤️ There won't ever be another band like this😢 I am so grateful I got to see them. Younger generations will remember them. I think Derek Trucks and his wife Susan's band will see to that ❤
Same for me. Wait, I watched it today 👌😎And I will do so the rest of my life. Fantastic.
The coda is a thing of rare beauty and the riff and explorations kick.
Eternal beauty
EXTRAORDINARY. OTHER-WORLDLY. OMG!!! Spectacular. The best ever... Dickey's and Duane's brains were connected and we just couldn't see the wires.
Duane was such a legend in his short life.
😞😞😞
If you dont already know, look up all the compilations he had, all the very big names in music that he recorded with, & most, maybe all of them @ FAME Music Studios in Muscle Shoals Alabama. ALSO, if you haven't already, watch the film/documentary "MUSCLE SHOALS"
Greg too ! ❤
My favorite song is ‘Little Martha’, so superb!❤
Too bad they didn't have any real chart success until after both Duane and Berry were dead.
This is not blues, this is not jazz, this is not rock n' roll , this is magic at it's finest!!!!
Magic is a good word for it! To bad not many meet with the magic on the other side!
It's very jazz. Blues Rock
Fusion
Freaking great
The foundation elements are certainly based on blues, jazz, country,... they invented 'Southern Rock'. The greatest jam band of all time,... a lot of people do not realize a large percentage of their performances consist of improvisation,... which always made it interesting for the listener,... no two nights were the same. I was fortunate enough to experience The ABB live 28 times,... always a 2 1/2 to 3 hour show and best bang for the buck. A band thoroughly dedicated to their music and fans.
It’s a story put to music.
Magic I agree
RIP Dickey Betts. You're tied to the great whippin post in the sky now, jammin away with Duane again.
I'm almost 71 years old This sounds as good as it did when I was 20.Thanks guys ! ❤
Just don't believe it gets better than this. Stands the test of time. No gimmicks just raw ass talent. Still get goosebumps all these years later.
You F#cking said it brother!! This song shakes me to my very core!!! Rock and Roll
I fly when I hear this. All these years later.
I lived in Memphis TN. In the early 70's n they played every weekend for month at the Shell in Overton Park. Just can't get any better than this .
seen them live many times back in the day
So do I love these guys! I saw them twice! Once at Drew University when they 1st started! Thee best concert ever! Then at Madison square garden! They were awesome!
When I got back from Army overseas duty in 1971, my brother played ABB's first album for me. They had not shown up on our jungle camp juke box, so they were news to me. I was blown away. My first thought was that this is mature, straight forward, blues inflected rock. No rock 'n' roll kid stuff for these guys. No gimmicks. Pure soul and musicianship. They set a high bar.
you sound like a real tosh

@@janetwilhelm4435 Why, thank you Janet.
Phenomenal talent , I just don't see that dedication in today's jam bands. Is it just me?
I was 16. This is the music, live actual instruments and vocals, that I was given.
Lucky Me !!!
Never gets old. Heard it a thousand times. Never gets old.
Yes. Just skipped through here, I will listen to this for the next hour. Crap. 🙂
I can say that about 20 of the Allman Brothers songs. True icons of rock and blues. Love these guys. peace
I’m 34 listen to them all the time!
Yes I agree a awesome group I remember in 1978 when I was 12
Never. Derek Trucks gets it...man we need it BACK. LETS GET SOME SOUL PUT BACK INTO THIS LAND....
I'm 69 and was fortunate enough to have seen them three times while Duane was still alive. Once at a skating rink in Birmingham when they were still "Almond Joy". Again at a National Guard Armory and again on the Quad at the University Of Alabama. All three of those times were when you could walk up and talk to them.
I'm a lucky SOB.
Oh man to see Duane and the gang at a small university quad, lawd have mercy.
Seen them at stony brook what a trip=#@!!
Saw them in 73' at the Winterland Ball Room in San Francisco. That same year I saw Traffic at the Winterland and Led Zeppelin at Kezar Stadium in SF. That was a year I will never forget. I'am still in awe. We are definitely lucky SOB's to have experienced this music. I morn for the current generation.
Oooh how I envy you! Only saw them at Watkins Glen "Summer Jam" in 1973 - a concert that made it to Guinnes Book of Record with 600,000 people in the audience. Still love them to bits!
You are from Alabama? We are from B'ham and my Daddy took me to the Atlanta Pop Festival in 1970 (I was 7) where the ABB (and some guy named Jimi) became Gods of Rock and Roll. We lived in West End in '69 and there was only one skating rink I remember. One night, I got to go with only my 13 year old baby sitter. That little woman made a bad boy out of me. If you were there, I was the kid that could not skate. Roll Tide, War Eagle, Go Gators, and f the Dawgs!
R.I.P. Dickey Betts am gonna miss you big time - thank you for all the fantastic music & guitar slinging/singing. Loved visiting the “Big House” in Macon, GA, I had a “coming to Gregg” moment there & hope to get back soon to see 🌹Rose Hill Cemetery 🌹where songs were written and you guys could find “Peace.”🤍🤍🤍
I had the extreme privilege of being on stage with them in 1972 at a concert in Fort Lauderdale in 1972. I was a photographer and got many close-up photos of all the band members. My ex threw out the pictures during the divorce proceedings. All I have left are the awesome memories
You are lucky to have those. What kind of sick persons destroys photographs any way?
I'm 50. I used to record my uncle's Allman bros albums onto cassette and listening to them on my Walkman as I passed Papers at 3 am hahaha
Got fired from that job? Yea probably!
Living in the world today makes me feel like I'm tied to the whipping post.
We all are!
So true

@@JimmyCee123 I remember years ago my neighbor came knocking at the door telling me the music was a little too loud. She said her nick knacks were moving around on her dresser. My buddy went over to check out the dancing nick knacks and sure enough she was right. The bass through the walls was doing it. Lol Take care :)
Fuck yeah!✌
ekimshield it’s a joke you loser.
Never know what you've got until it's gone.
Pure talented musicians- straight up!! 🎸🎹 🥁🎙No auto-tune, gimmicks, manufactured puppets. In a class all by themselves- truly one of a kind.
No click track, either!
One of the best live bands. Dickey and Duane, Jaimoe and Butch, and of course Gregg. They created a sound unlike any other before or since.
Don’t forget Berry Oakley .
Dicky created his own finger chicken picken blues waaaayyyyy before Eddie Van Halen did.
Don't forget Berry Oakley.
You can't leave out Berry
Just going to say that
Now THIS is/was THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND! No other combination of musicians make this sound.
The original six were a once in a decade collaboration. Imagine had they never lost Duane and Oakley. Whoa
Solo by Dickey in this performance has a unique emotional quality, it just has a different impact, like he is speaking a mythical tale.
For me it is pure art, like everything else of course in this overall masterpiece performance by the band.
RIP Mr. Betts and thank you for the inspiration.
Rest in Paradise, Mr. Betts. 🙏🏽 Thank you for letting us share your awesome music. Prayers and Condolences to your Family and Friends.
This is what you call a Rock Band's Rock Band. Ain't no other band around like them. Rest easy, Brothers Allman. We all miss you.
Yes agreed, and they all needed each other and respected each others ability. That is why they are legends!!!
Mike Gonzalezt
You like Taylor Swift
Mike Gonzalez I’d have to disagree, man. I like the Allman Bros too but it’ ALL sounds the same. They did WHAT EVERYONE rock n roll wise was doing at the time. “This sound” is the 70’s...mid to late 60’s PERIOD. Listen to few more of their songs, maybe.
ras124 well said👍🏼😂👍🏼
Funny, at 64, I look back now at the music we heard while growing up and it was nothing short of creative genius, this song was among the very best. If you doubt it get your hands on the recording of Allman Brothers Fillmore East, pickup a decent set of headphones, lean back close your eyes, open your ears, and just enjoy the ride Duane, Dickey, Gregg and the rest of this band can take you on....amazing.
I found myself falling in love with Southern Rock (Outlaws, Lynrd Skynrd, Henry Paul, Allman Brothers, etc.) and more proud than ever I couldn't dance through the whole damn disco era that followed. God, I love this amazing tune, there is actually a better 21 minute version on Fillmore East from 1971 and between that and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed from the same set are just amazing back to back. Considered the second best live music recording of all time by Rolling Stone, nuff said.......50 years old and still as gripping and powerful today as when recorded.
Well hello @James I still play my vinyl album Filmore East on my Telefunken as I have for 45 years, we were lucky eh. Today it's Beiber. groan.
Sky dog solo got me through oily 2nd shift in Ford assembly line in 1972. A culture ‘tween north and south planted vibration, especially the canoe with Duane
watching his paddle slowly churn forward in a photo thanks to album cover with sharing what’s on the way. Enjoyable message of sharing.
sometimes I will be walking, or at home, or driving and out of nowhere, the beginning of One Way Out will just pop in my head like some form of brain response needing a boost, and I'll just start singing it. Blue Sky also. And as damn good as those 2 songs are there is still no better Brother's song than Whipping Post.
I totally agree with ya
I have that on vinyl
I've danced on stage right next to him at least 5 or 6 times in my life in the 90s... Amazing rush to see the audience! Thank you Duane Betts😙😘
"Don't fly Mr. Blue Bird, I'm just walking down the road!" Always put sun in a dark day. RIP DB!
They were hitting on all cylinders here. RIP Gregg, Duane, Berry,and Butch. Rock on Dickey and Jaimoe!
🌹🌹🌹🌹
Doesn't ever get any better than this
Exactly what Jaimoe (and later the rest of them, too) referred as--
"HITTING THE NOTE, man!" ....
when they were all in the same zone tuned in to each other just so perfectly, that not a single one of them could hit a bad note or lick even if they had wanted to or tried to.
It became so much such a catch phrase between all of them as they continued to play together more & more and hone their craft to *MUSICAL PERFECTION* .....
that they used the term to title a later album after they had lost both Duanne and Berry so close together within about a year apart of each death in order to honor both of their fallen brothers.
Duane and Berry were 24 and Gregg and Butch were 69 when they died
why did they have two drummers just curious
🤯53 years later this song still sends me. 😱🤩Best band ever! Class of ‘73,😇🫡
55 years later…😃
Amen...at 67
54 years later, always a classic. Also class of 1973😊
21 years old here I love the Allman brothers and marshal tucker band 🙌
I just watched an episode of Fargo and it finished with Whipping Post by the Allman Brothers. It is so many years since I heard this song and it sounded so great to hear again.
Amazing i am a black man who grew on this in Nc great music
Yep great music has no boundaries
Donnie Lee AMEN
Amen,bluesy rock has no boundaries! We are all one. May we always respect that!
I also grew up in N.C. during this this time.
God bless, Donnie Lee.
Amen to that brother. P.S. I'm white as Casper and I love Mr. BBKing
And THAT boys and girls, is how it’s done....
Freakin' "A": it is! :)
Hall Boylston Yes Sir 😍
Damn Straight!
Indeed !
Yeah. it doesn't get better.....................to me this song is about getting fucked.............whether it's getting fucked up by a parent, whether you find yourself in a foreign country as a military person..............it's just really about taking shit that you don't deserve...................it could be a very bad marriage, bad parents, bad position anywhere....................I think this is just a really great song.......................It makes me want to build my strength and not let those fucks take it from me..............I hope it mAKES YOU STRONGER!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what I hear....................
R.I.P. Dickey😪
This is the greatest live concert recording ever .every single song is fantastic
For the people giving a thumbs down ,you know nothing about music!The band is brilliant!
Who the __ gave a thumbs down to the Allman Brothers?
So agree.. This BAnd was southern rock at its finest.... lets just enjoy
Mary Jo its not your problem..mind your own business!! Stronza!!
Agree
The thumbs down may be for the ad that played in the middle of the song.
All my children know the bro’s. It’s mandatory in my home.
you are a good parent!
Once Van Morrison, was being interviewed, and they asked him what he thought about the new music out now. And he said actually I don’t think about it at all! The interviewer said what do you mean, he said it’s already been done! , no creativity out there, just regurgitation??
Raisin’ ‘em right!
Now that’s just good parenting right ther
OK kids
I want you to line up
OK now we are going to listen to the Allman Brothers band for the rest of the day and chill out
Who's with me
I spent 4 days in a hotel room with dickie…and I’m still here…
Those two drummers ensure an element of grace and ease to these songs. They tend to allow a song to breathe. I observed this with the Dead also.
I remember reading in a band bio by a writer for Rolling Stone magazine that it wasn't uncommon for Duane to come off stage muttering that " Dicky kicked my ass out there". We will never see the likes of this band ever again.
No click track. No auto tune. No gimmicks. Just good ol american rock n roll jam session.
They jammed so much in those early years that they were tuned into each others brains onstage. Not a sloppy or wasted note, ever. Now the Grateful Dead, cough, cough.
Great jam bands happen by true magic....
yep, everything is way too computerized. if you play perfect to a click, it sounds very unnatural.
The golden age of rock is gone 😢
Allman Brothers cassette was sent for me to listen to for (1) week, County prison.
This is how I discovered this truly amazingly talented band !!!
Im 69 now and realish in the fact that after all these times, my favorite
" whipping post" and "Midnight Rider" !!!
Gregg is one of the greatest blues singers. Duane will go down as one of the best guitarists of all time. But we should not forget what Dickie Betts did for this band.
The Allman Bros with the original members has got to be, technically at least, the most talented band ever.
One of the first bands to use twin lead guitarists along with Wishbone Ash and Thin Lizzy !
mothers of invention man
zappas lineup in 74

These guys was my fathers band lost him to cancer ladt year i almost cant listen to it but when i di i can picture him telling me all about them he was a southrrn outlaw in every since of the word miss u pops i just hope u r getting to hang out with them now
My nine-year-old son asked me to play the song that says "she took all my money". I knew instantly what he was talking about. When the song was over he said "that's the best song I've ever heard in my life"! After I said "you got that right" I thought to myself the future of music is going to be alright. 🎶🎸🎵
That a good outlook..
Props to that Son👍🥳🍀🍄🙏
Kids have a way. Don't they?
DUDE, THATS AWESOME! KEEP HIM AWAY FROM RAP, HIP HOP, AND SHIT ELECTRONIC MUSIC. IT HAS A DANGEROUS LOW FREQUENCY WITH SPORATIC PERCISSION. IT DESTROYS THE SOUL. IT MAKES PEOPLE VIOLENT. LONG LIVE THE 70"S !
Hell yeah!!
That would be my ex wife, lol
That ad placement was CRIMINAL!
Indeed those fucks do the same thing to live Stairway recordings there is a special place in Hell for such destroyers and desecrators of the highest calibar of music of art
@@kevinscholfield4880 It is all about GREED & POWER to the Googleplex they CAN so the DO! I'll probably get punished for this! 😈
@@bouncersixtynine3057 nah they will leaf you and I alone their fate is sealed down they shall go while we will be going up to where Allman Hendix Garcia aura thru the Heaven's Gates where the ultimate Jam Sessions go down
You got that right!!!They really had to put that ad in the song???Thank GOD I wasn't talking this back in the day.Its all about money theese days
@@ericrohrer5160 So sad yet so true my dear friend and fellow Allman Brother Devotee Disciple
And God Made The Allman Brothers. The Greatest Band,
I plan to use this as THE example of true 70's rock music when educating my 2 baby grandsons someday.
The Allman Bros had an instrumental sound completely unique, immediately identifiable, and never duplicated. Loved them.
One of the best bands that ever took a stage.
Nice, Fargo brought me here. Excellent.
We had the best decades 🔊🎤🔊
Hello how are you doing
RIP the five members of The Allman Brothers Band

Duane and Oakley just a few months apart, almost in the same place in motorcycle accidents
& legends they will always be 🙏
24 and 69
I did not know for Greg Allman, RIP
Thanks, though this should really have been chronological rather than by last name, imo. Thanks, though, no matter what.
Incredible this live recording sounds better than half the studio stuff of other bands. Best group ever.
That whole album is great. I told a young man of about 20 years old about it. He loved the whole album. This music is timeless.
Twin kits set tight rhythm all play/speak/flow one another
More than half ! Lol
without a doubt, the best live album ever.
I visit the graves every year. I'm a hour and a half from them. Greatest band ever!!!
I'm 70 and I had pleasure of being able to see this band on a few occasions. They Were Solid!! Under rated band. They contributed Alot to the music community!! Classic Southern Rock!!
I’m so grateful to live in a world where I can find out about a talented band 50 years after the show. What a world.
So glad you discovered the Allman Bros. This group of talented musicians was truly a gift from above.
Born in 🇯🇲 reggae background, this ♥
