    Whipping Post ( Gregg Allman )
    I been run down
    Lord, I been lied to
    And I don't know why
    I let that mean woman make out a fool
    She took all my money
    Wrecked my new car
    Now she's with one of my good-time buddies,
    Drinkin' in some cross-town bar
    Sometimes I feel
    Sometimes I feel
    Like I been
    Tied to the whippin' post
    Tied to the whippin' post
    Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'
    My friends tell me
    That I been such a fool
    But I got to stand there an' take it
    All for loving you
    Drown myself in sorrow
    As I look at what you done
    Nothin' seems to change;
    That bad times stay the same,
    And I can't run
    Sometimes I feel
    Sometimes I feel
    Like I been
    Tied to the whippin' post
    Tied to the whippin' post
    Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'

      Greatest Live Album of all time in my humble opinion. And I respect everyone else’s opinion for what they believe is the best Album of all time. And they are not ever wrong, as music is art and is in the eye of the beholder. So we must all respect the artistic choices that are made by all others. Nobody is ever “wrong”, as that is their interpretation of the art that they have consumed.

      there were very few bands putting out LPs w/ such long extended instrumentals,
      & even fewer of those long extended instrumentals that merited the extra time @
      the excellence of this and those few others
      thx to this LP's sales there was soon a bandwagon of 1st-rate fellow travellers
      this album was a HUGE special treat scratching that itch a few others had created

    I was there , it was March, 3 months before the Fill.oreEast closed. The gig was sold out weeks in advance, somebody called in a bombscare to the FillmoreEast before showtime, and all the ticketholders were back outside, some cat gave me his ticket stub, the Hell's Angel bouncer looked at me, laughed and let me in!!! He knew!Told me not to get caught smoking weed, and I said, Okay, you won't catch me, and we both laughed, and I ran in. I was 15, WhippingPost started at 3AM The Bros played until the sun was just coming up. One of the best shows I ever been, tight so tight.

    How can one say, Duane was not one of the greatest. This was 1971 live. No studio tricks. With underrated and equally great Dickie who Duane even said was better guitarist. Then Greg and Berry. What a band. No other band ever like them.

      ​​​@@eurydicejonesDuane said so many times. There's an interview called "everybody in my band has to be better than me" or something to that effect. It's here on CZcams. He says it in that interview. Or he always said Dickey was the good one and he was the popular one.
      So yes, even Duane thought Dickey was better than him. In fact, he believed everyone in the band was as good of a musician or even better than he was. That's some high praise because Duane knew he was hot 5#it even back then. Listen to Rick Hall tell stories about Duane. You get a good feeling for what kind of person he was. Headstrong. A go getter. And EXTREMELY intelligent.

    When the song slows down and gets quiet..those sweet, sad, crescendos that build with slow intensity (go from about 10:12 to 15:25...that what takes true skill--to play electric instruments with that type of feel and touch. I first heard this in 1972 when I was 14 years old. I hear it today and it brings tears to my eyes. This, folks, was the absolute high-water mark of rock music. Never was there a collection of true musicians like this on the stage afterward.

    Got the headphones on, joint lit...just letting the music take over. Just like Gregg said in that interview with Conan O'Brien. He could listen to these albums and was immediately taken back to 1971 at Fillmore East. God I can't imagine the years of pain and anguish and heartache that Gregg went through without his Big Bro. You're back together now, Brothers. Miss you, Skydog! Miss you, Gregg! ❤️🎸🙏

    The most glorious sound I have ever heard is Gregg chording the "whipping" starting at 16:38..... his B-3 is pedaled to the floor and growling...producing that velvety tube powered overdrive bliss.... and coupled with the acoustics in the Fillmore.... well there you have it. To me, that is the single most moving moment in the never ending peaks of brilliance captured that weekend. Like Skydog said at the end "Thank you..... it sure has been a fine weekend!

      Their talent was born, not taught.
      So damn perfect. So fluid, every note, every instrument, every second of every song. The Allman Brothers are like a fine wine, as their music is timeless, getting better with age.

They are arguably the biggest musical influence in my life. They turned me on to Southern Rock and to the Blues. "One Way Out" inspired me to learn how to play the guitar in H.S. I now own three guitars: a Gibson SG, a Fender Strat and a Gibson acoustic. For you readers out there, my daughter got me Gregg Allman's autobiography "My Cross To Bear". A must read for the consummate Allman Bros fan.

Had to wait till sun up to even THINK about leaving that mad house. Seemed like a lot of people there but I wasn't seeing much of them. No one was in control that day/night, least of all the players. Pretty funny memory. Cops were cool-they knew the place was lit up. Don't remember when they stopped playing but it seemed late in the evening.
