RIP Mr. Dickey Betts This song immortalized your style forever sir! Thank you.
Whoa! I just looked him up 2 days ago and saw he was still alive.
Now he's gone. Damn. RIP.
I guess Jaimoe is the lone survivor.
I was 9 yoa in 1971..this masterpiece transcends decades...now centuries ....iconic...
@@johnmatanes3135
Won't be a century till 2071.
9 yo? You must have had an older sibling that was into music.
Nam 69 in the hut with the hooch. Long pipe and fire this song turned up. The rest of the Joes ripping & ripped. We didn’t know if tomorrow would come. I remember once a prisoner heard this kept he pointing at the speakers smiling and nodding his head in approval. Let me tell you hearing their (ABB)first album under those circumstances over there with my boys. Even for a few minutes I was able to get away from all the stuff going on there. Strange thing is 69 was my second tour. Did one more then came home. I’ve had enough. God Bless America. God Bless ABB. No more war. Heal Mother Earth.
@@seeharvester wow! you are a dickhead....must be the Nam weed....you are an ass hole
The fact that this was captured live is proof that magic is real!
Magic is deception, there is nothing deceptive about Dickey's playing!
Indeed, RIP Dickey. After viewing MANY different posts of this performance (and being a guitar player myself), this is the only one I've found with the "real" musical performance captured through the soundboard. Most every other posts has disingenuously dubbed in the "At Fillmore East" album to this video. Thanks for the REAL upload!!
Duane Allman and Dicky Betts 🎸 doesn't get any better than that ❗
I feel sorry for anyone not having been around in the late 60s, and early 70s. That explosion of musical creativity will never be repeated.
I’m an old man now but I got to live in a generation that had the best ever
Absolutely. However age is just a number. Be blessed young man.
Us young people need to content ourselves with Derek Trucks. I can live with it.
@@spendyourwholelifetrying
DT and band are really good. I’ve seen them live many times. However if you’re old enough and blessed enough to have seen and heard the original Allman Brothers Band preform live, nobody I know or have heard has come close.
We're All the youngest we'll ever be right now 💥 frikin let's go peeps 💙 live for today 💙🇺🇸
me too
We all know why we're here today. I'm sorry for the great loss.
Anyone that’s comes across this in 2024 I hope you realize what magic you are witnessing. These guys were on a different plain of musical talent. And you will never see it again.
I lived in Macon, GA for awhile in the late 90's. People there regularly talk about the Allman Brothers. I learned the back story of this particular song. The story is that the band hung out and did drugs at the Rose Hill Cemetery (a place that people usually didn't go to, which made it a good place to drink and party). Elizabeth Reed is buried there. They didn't know anything about her, and they thought it a shame that no one cared. So they wrote a tune for her. Today, Daune Allman and Barry Oakley (bass player) are buried side by side at Rose Hill.
Absolutely...
As we as gregg. Dickie had a lot to do with writing that song as well... God Bless all ABB fans...
From Africa. And i love this.
God bless you Duane Allman for your talent and sharing with the world. Gone way too friggin soon. Still listening every night in 2024.
The greatest American blues rock band of all time.
No doubt. Top tier rock band. Grew up on the Space Coast in Satellite Beach surfing, and listening to those Allman Bros on the eight track on the way to ride waves at Sebastian Inlet. Allman Brothers got their start I heard as a house band at some bars in Daytona Beach.just to the north of us.Later, I hitchhiked ⁉️ to the Orange Bowl & got to see them live .Great times - growing up with these bands as.....the Soundtrack to our Lives.🆒️👍✅💯😎
Indeed.
An American Music Institution. My Heroes.
Great call. Moving into Jazz. What coulda been
I agree 100%
... do not forget: Two guitarists (world class), two insane drummers, but just one (1) bass player: Barry Oakley.
Berry
Please tell me how he's possibly NOT, the best guitarist ever
I saw them 7 times. Once with Duane and twice with Berry. Simply the best I've ever seen. They played for hours and never tired.
A simple question. Why do only us geezers listen and comment? There are two generations now missing out on what matters to one's soul.
im 16 this is one of my favorite songs right now. butch and jaimoe are two of my favorite drummers
Hi bud, 26 yo here. Been a fan of ABB for about a decade now.. we’re still out there hold on hope one day real music will make a comeback
Much deliberate INTERFERENCE....
Much designed
DISTRACTION..
much deployed DIVISION...
age of dovetailed DESPAIR
and goy ABUSES ...
GET IT..?
Music is generational.
I'm 42 years young and all I had left after my father left behind when he left us was his vinyl/cassettes. My father wax a ramblin' man. I love the ABB. Live at the Fillmore East is transcendental. Each member is so friggin talented and legends in their own right. God bless and R.I.P. Dickie Betts. ❤
Liz reed sets my soul free19 when1st heard it I’m 71 today it never gets old wild bill😊😊😊
I hear you brother. Same here. The big 71. Where did the time go ✌️☮️✌️☮️
Me too, still alive, kicking and enjoying this masterpiece.
Ditto
Live it up young men. Age is just a number/mentality. Bendiciones
Two drummers playing jazz, not rock drums, in a rock band. Always blew my mind. This is one of the best tunes I've ever heard and still keeps giving.
Too dam short ! 😎
Great analysis
YES SO TRUE A,GREAT SONG I NEVER GET TIRED OF. SEEN THEM MANY TIMES AND ALWAYS LOOKED FORWARD TO THIS AMAZING SONG 🎵!!
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR FANTASTIC MUSICANSHIP ❤ 💙💜💚
Sometimes 3 percussionists...amazing
i got called on the carpet for playing this during a jazz set at an fm station back in 78. Its fusion/jazz but played by the Allman bros, so it didnt qualify. Whiners
we are so fortunate to have this available by clicking on a thing or two.
It's just ridiculous how good these guys were.
Yep. To this date...unmatched!
"no wai, dood, they need teh Pro Tools and teh Autotune!1!"
~snicker~ (that was arcasm)
It really is man
Duane was amazing, and to think he was only 23 when he passed
Incredible amount of talent on that stage. My favorite Brothers' tune. Dickie Betts wrote it, and plays some tasty leads, but watching this live version with Butch and Jaimoe duelling on drums, Berry Oakley thumping that bass, Gregg with his eyes shut tight, so focused before the booze and drugs took their toll, and especially seeing Duane soloing so effortlessly, with that rich lyrical tone, just brings me to tears.
RIP Skydog- you were a wonder to behold.
Was fortunate enough to seethe original line up on Steel Pier, Atlantic City, summer 1970. Walked right up to the low stage hour before the show, stood literally within arms reach of Duane. The most perfect, yet seemingly effortless music. No jumping around or showmanship, virtually no signals between musicians. Just one 6 member organism. Astonishing. Never seen anything like it, never will again. The absolute pinnacle
If I recall correctly, I only had to pay admission to the Steel Pier to see the show. They were one of the "attractions" like the Diving Horse right outside. What times those were. Saw my 1st concert same place, same way a couple weeks before. Chicago, original lineup. I was 16 years old. What I wouldnt give . .
I was in Wildwood, NJ for the summer in 1970 but only drove to Phila for The Electric Factory and Phila Spectrum. Saw The Who, Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, Santana-awesome concerts. Saw Allman Bros twice in NC but Duane and Berry had died and the band was too wasted to enjoy.
Yea, I was at the Chicago concert also, what I wouldn't give...@@janwhite8844
Well said........and absolutely true....
Bon Jovi?@@SuperMcabral
RIP Dickey Betts; your music lives on forever!
There were the quintessential American band of the time.
May all of you great souls RIP forever.
We loved you.
Duane died way too young his music lives 4 ever
Ir think he would be amazed at what his leagacy is and what the band accomplished.
He was amazing hard to believe he's been gone 53 years ..iam 52 .. always the great ones we lose .to soon...RIP brother ❤
Dickey died today 4-18-24 😔✌️🎸
Jaimoe is the only one left. DANG! That sucks.☹️
As sad as I am to hear of Dickey’s passing, I am overjoyed to know that him, Duane, Berry, Butch and Gregg are jamming in heaven tonight. Reunited forever now
Right On Brother ...❤
I listen to Allman Brothers for hours , days , weeks , years .....hell, a lifetime. Never ever gets old
I been listening to the Allmanbrothers for about 30+ years and i swear it never gets old!
I listened from the first hit and still better than most of what gets passed off as Rock these days.
Agreed!
I'm 40, been listening for about 10 years. I love their music!
This is my old vinal anthology lb. . Duane Allman is Gregg's brother. He (Duane) started this and still running. Today's times. Just shows his styles are lost. We've heard is those days if no contact filed or was a Death sentence . MONEY MONGERS. THE SICKNESS . MONEY 💰💰💰💰💰
COULD PUT ON EDDIE MONEY
The first time I heard ABB was in 1970 as a young 16 years old. They became known as the house band at the Warehouse in New Orleans. They are still my favorite group!
Still gives me goose bumps after 54 years!
Over 50 years have passed, and they still are my favourite band.
45 years for me, since I was 17
Same. First show January 1973.
53 years for me, I was born 1970 , I like this bend , number 1 for me
My all time favorite song & favorite band, since the 70s.
Oh My, I’m OLD 😂
RIP Mr. Betts...Thanks for the memories......Heaven is Rocking now!!!
This song here is all you need to know at to why they hated being called a southern rock band. These guys were on a plain no one else was occupying. Simply incredible the music they made. This song is all derived from a single tombstone. Wow.
A very good point - this is a departure from the Blues and Country modalities where I'd locate 'Jessica' etc. Commentators have pointed out that ABB trailblazed the Southern Rock genre, so I think it really was theirs to mess with as they wanted! I'd argue that they were on a plain that others were exploring though - this tune, and its structure, shares elements of what other extended bands were playing at the time - Santana, The Mothers of Invention, The Grateful Dead - harmonically, musically, it sits alongside what those guys were doing. In that they were stretching the boundaries of the blues/country safe place they knew, this tune involves risks for the soloists, and I think that Duane and Gregg were more able to find their way round the changes than Dickie, at this point. Dickie's best stuff is in his flowing, [often minorised blues] that you get in 'Jessica' and so forth - at that point, he really sings, and I have found comparison with Jerry Garcia's playing then. I used to spin ABB 'Live at Filmore' and Dead's 'Live Dead', alongside one and other of an afternoon. Heady stuff - and 8 great sides. Oh, and of course 'Eleanor Rigby' was inspired by a gravestone too - I wonder if there are more....
Well, the song came first and Dickie was looking for a name for it and then he saw the tombstone
@@johnfrancis6746 I think Dickey is credited as the writer of this song
@@bluecollar825 Hi, that's right, but did I suggest he wasn't? In among some thoughts on the musical elements, and the context of the tune at the time, I didn't want to introduce confusion about his authorship or otherwise.
@@johnfrancis6746 no u didn't suggest otherwise, I was asking because I wasn't 100%...✌
Don't ever forget Gregg on that Hammond!
My God! This was them at their purist. Dickie healthy and playing so strong. Barry putting down the base line for everyone to spring off from. JJ and Butch!! JJ the man who introduced them to jazz riffs and the masters. I just loved watching Butch snap his head as he came around the kit on this song. And that Hammond B3, Greg could send you on a carpet ride. And of course the master Duane. Leading like Duke Ellington and playing with such soothing calm and then blazing with the intensity few if any will ever replicate. There are about a dozen songs in particular that I always have to pick my chin up off the floor after hearing his section. I spent a summer (73) following them on tour and never regretted the time, money and effort it required to get to the next site and score tickets. Thanks to some Deadheads who were touring some with the Brothers that summer. They helped at times in several ways.
Long live the Brothers.
This is one of my favorite instrumental songs, especially by these guys. It's great that we got footage of the original band with Duane and Berry in it, since it's pretty rare The Allman Brothers proved that they didn't need no theatrics, backup dancers, laser light shows or crap like that. They let the music do the talking, plain and simple. May Gregg, Duane, Berry and Butch rest in power.
AMEN to that sentiment... For a brief , far too short period of time this original lineup caught lightning in a bottle. The road goes on.......FOREVER !!!
Can't argue. Often, forget how good this is. I love "les bret in "E" minor off of Eat a Peach. Great T - Shirt album cover 👌
Again, not much footage of Barry .. in this case... None
One of the truly best live bands ever. Blessed and lucky to have seen them.
Errr, they didn't have all that stuff back then... the light show behind the band is a few overhead projectors, that was mind blowing pack then... The first widely noticeable use of lasers was the supermarket barcode scanner, introduced in 1974.
This is just so perfect. Aren't we lucky to have it?
heard this for the first time when I was 16, I am now 66 and every time I play it I pick up something new in the great sound mix
First heard this in 1970 when I worked at a radio station - someone played it over the air in defiance of station restrictions on length of play. The switchboard lit up in support of the song, and we soon became allowed to play the "long versions" of songs.
+ 1950 Grendel: Cool post, cool story of the defiance of the station's "suits" (execs) who .....gotta give 'em credit....came around and let you play extended versions. Tell me please...where was this? Thanks! jbeinarizona
@@joelewing4498 ya crazy times back then. The man said no long versions of songs or your fired.... Stuck it to them pretty hard baby.... Fast forward 50 years, the man says get a vaccine or your fired....... Stuck us in the arm pretty hard baby........ WTF
I'm from St Louis and I'd bet you've heard of KSHE-95 (94.7) FM. The BEST R&R radio station of the late 60's and 70's.
The world’s greatest band combining blues, rock, jazz, country and fusion brilliantly 😀😀😀
Yes. The world's best band! My number 1 for the past 40 years! 💞
EVER💖
There are very few bands that are better live, than in the studio. Their jams are legendary. I was fortunate to grow up in the 70's when radio stations would play full album sides. It was awesome.🍄
@@susand2008 me too! I have to come back and listen to get away from the shit today!
@@susand2008 me too! I have to come back and listen to get away from the shit today!
Few days past Dickie’s passing & I still can’t get enough. What a gift to us - what a legacy these great musicians left. I wanna go back & have them all here again sooo bad.
Makes me want to cry that we'll never hear them again.
First time I saw them, I asked a friend who are they. They opened for Delaney and Bonnie.
When they started playing my friend and I wound up standing right in front Duane, mesmerized by what he was doing on guitar.
Saw them any time I could from that point on.
Miss you all!
😂😂😂
One of the biggest tragedies and what if in the music world. Everyone of the band members here are in their early 20s. They play with the skills and creativity of seasoned veterans. I can't even fathom how great they would have become had Duane and Berry Oakley not died so young. The Allmans and Lynyrd Skynyrd 2 of the greatest bands in the history of music.. simply incredible talent in each and every one! This is absolutely tremendous!!
This is why I come to CZcams. So I can pull stuff up like this. I smile laugh and get a bit emotional. How good was and is life
I agree with that..
The 70's were some of the best times especially after America got out of Vietnam.
When Duane and Dicky played the same melodic line, just the best.
@Patrick Pierce, I would argue that Duane Allman & Dickey Betts were the most formidable twin guitar attack ever. Two lead guitarists of that caliber who could both go off in different directions in the same song on leads for 20+ minutes at a time, and then round it up and bring it back home flawlessly for that big ABB finish. Those two playing together in the same band just really wasn't fair to other bands of the day.
So... There is no argument.
@@GBeret83 well said
of fiddlers) and his days with teen circus bands, while he's still with us. It'd be much better than the scraps of information fans pick up from others.
Allman Brothers Band still amaze me after all these years.
We will never see a more talented group of musicians in one group ever again especially given the sad state of todays music. They were the best.
In memory of Dickey Betts / RIP brother
I wonder how many hours of ceaseless practice & rehersals went into making this group into cohesive , totally unreal functioning BAND, I am sure it didn't come easy...
Of course, everyone has his or her own favorite Allman brothers song, whether it is Whipping Post, Midnight Rider, Ramblin Man, or Melissa. All remarkably great songs in a great catalogue, but "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is one of the most beautiful songs Dicky Betts ever wrote and the band ever performed. I miss their residencies at the Beacon. Seems like long ago...
Jessica.
Man you said it best I think I'm gona cry.your right
I seen them great day
You dont love me or mountain jam
❤Thanks for the memories and music 🎶 Fly high Dickey
Let's not forget Greg's fantastic keyboard work on this.
They all are so tight and crispy...... an awesome band!
That's the best part of the song for me.
The mighty Hammond B3!
RIP Duane, Gregg, Berry and Butch
...and Woody! I know he's not in this lineup, but he was a BEAST!
Lamar Williams also
Thanks, i grew up with these guys, listening, and wondered whos still alive. . Masters, in my opinion, the guitar riffs are like aldemola, paco, mcglaughin. Except metal / rock .
Lamar and Allen Woody
@@randywright3281came into say exactly that. My favorite all time rock bassist and an extraordinarily kind and gentle soul w/ a huge heart, obscene bass collection and superhuman musical ability.

I'm 65 and I know what you mean!
Put the bottle down Gramps....
When I was 16 (1989) and pulled up to a stoplight jammin’ this or Sabbath or something the 70 yr old gave me dirty looks. Now at 48 the 70 yr old at the stoplight is giving me a thumbs up and yelling f yeah! True story.
@@darkstar92772 The Loggins & Messina song, "Your Momma Don't Dance and Your Daddy Don't Rock & Roll" wasn't just a clever little song, it meant something, it was about the very real cultural gap in the generations. Not only was the WWII Generation not raised on R&R but most of their Boomer kids were as straight as their parents. Less than 2% of the Baby Boom generation were part of the 1960's counterculture. Yup, you'll find 70 year old's that are still hip but there's fewer of them than you might think. Stay cool!
@@helbitkelbit1790 meanwhile I’d nuke the world to be able to time travel to Filmore march of 71
It’s Mind boggling to see the original 6 play live. Their chemistry was off the charts and everybody was incredibly talented. I want to personally thank Duane Allman for sourcing the members and putting together the band of the latter half of the 20th century. R.I.P. Duane, Berry, Butch, and Gregg
Best Southern Band ever Created.
You are correct sir
gregg wrote most of the songs, incase you didnt know
Dickie Betts!
@@jerrycofield6038 Best American band period.
of all the dead rock and rollers i miss Duane the most
I think a little of Duane's spirit landed in Derek Trucks. Listen to the TTB Lock'n 2019 recreation of layla with Trey Anastasio and tell me that ain't true
Eat a Peach, sad way to go.
this could only come out of the US, it's real American music
They were from another unique musical dimension. R.I.P Mr. Betts.

So much talent. Those six musicians made a sound so beautiful and so unique. What a shame we didn’t have it longer than we could have! RIP Duane, Gregg, Berry and Butch.
Oh crap Butch Trucks is dead? 😳😌🙄
I saw the Allmans years ago..like 15+ years ago and it was so great.
They had this thing where they made live on-the-spot recordings onto CD..the exact same concert you had just seen.
You could buy one on the way out, if you waited for the CD burner to finish.

@@CaptainBackFat ahah
Romine?
What a time to be alive.
The Brothers were so good that many of their pieces didn't need words. The music spoke for itself.
That's some of the best kind of music... without words.
Their dual guitar melodies floating on the airwaves captured the
times and brightened them, as art does- it transcended reality.
So many people just don't know how musically brilliant they were...maybe they will find out now. :-/
Hope so.
Simply amazing...
No worries here. I've known since I've been 14...way back in the early 80s 💞💞💞
Totally
I am happy to say that I know! And that The Allman Brothers Band has been my favorite band of all time since I was a 14yr old girl in 1980. Still true as a 54yr old woman.
Obviously I've always had great taste in music! 😉
Dickey is jamming with Duane in rock and roll heaven. the music lives on
In Memory of Dickey Betts. Rock in Peace, my friend.
I'm old enough to have seen them play three times before Duane passed.....the best damn live band in the land......my inspiration to learn how to play guitar...... Duane and Dickie
WHEN MY BIG BRO BOUGHT THIS LP IN 72.I SAT IN STUNNED AMAZEMENT.ICWAS 12 ,UNTIL THIS I WAS AN AM RADIO KID.NOT AFTER HEARING THIS! OMG CHANGED ME OVER NIGHT.
The Allman Brothers were pioneers and trailblazers in All-American music: Blues, Rock, Country, Jazz and Folk.
The Greatest American Band...fucking period.
sorry, gtg Skinner
Skynyrd is the top.
The Southern version of "A Love Supreme," with gravy.
YYZ - Southern style.
Throw in some "Kind of Blue"...children this is what the Higher Power wants
Great take
You can not beat 2 guitarist that can lead at any given time , and work together! Plus this is a band that is in sync!
Allman Brothers live @ Filmore East is the greatest live album ever recorded.
Made in Japan, made in Europe, UFO strangers in the night, grand funk double live, rainbow on stage in Germany, Kansas live , Nugent gonzo, Skynyrd one more for the road, Judas priest unleashed in the east . Jimi Hendrix Monterey pop
Filthy , in a good way !

Helped me to learn Harmonica but my learning curve on Harp took soo Long to Equal what I am Today,,,
KEYS VOCALS are my go to 4 learning all songs these past 30 years...... Live at FILMORE EAST,,,
Precious little live stuff of Duane Allman. Thank God for Bill Graham.
@Waikobloa ... +1.. True that.
And Berry
I never got to see them live. But, I can listen to them anytime. One of the absolute top five bands of all times.
The man who left a gaping hole in millions of people's hearts and souls. But left us with so much to remember him by.
I always get lost in the effortless play of Duane. When someone does something so hard as if it is as natural as breathing in and out it is truly mesmerizing. What a gift to music.
Always loved the Butch/Jaimo drumming. Butch was a living metronome and Jaimo just had the best fills.
They played as one!
This show was video taped at the Fillmore East in September 1970. The "Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East" album was recorded in March 1971. This video shows that Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts had shorter hair than they had on the cover of the live album. Also, Dickey is playing a red Gibson SG on the video; on the live album he is playing a Gold Gibson Les Paul. You can see it on the inside cover of the album. Dickey gave Duane the red Gibson SG to use when he played slide guitar so he wouldn't have to change the tuning between songs. Duane used the same sunburst colored Les Paul guitar on the video and the live album.
Well said sir! Great clarification for all. I toured with them from early 1971 thru 1973 doing FOH and this video recording is a very special treat. I was asked to be a pall bearer for Duane and Berry but was only able to make it for Berry's. Years of incredible music snuffed out WAY too soon!
I can tell you've read Midnight Riders and One Way Out too.
When playing this side of the Live at Filmore East album on the turntable
(in the bg.) All just seemed right with the world for 10-15 minutes. Wild era.... would love to go back.
This isn't the album version, its 6 months before the mar 71 album.
@@alexloizou2514 I’m aware but it’s a live version of the same song. And Yes, I had the ‘71 live at Filmore East album. Everyone’s so bleeping critical. BTW I voted for Trump - Twice
I was 16 when I saw these guys in May of 1969 at Cambridge Commons in Massachusetts for a free show.
Incredible stuff 👍
Six legends, five gone. Only Jaimoe (The black drummer, as well as the Allman Brothers Band's original drummer) is still with us. Duane and Berry died in motorcycle accidents, Gregg and Dickey died of cancer, and Virgil (the white drummer) committed suicide.
I can’t believe how good this sounds. Duane’s solo is so powerful. Love his and Dickey’s transition of this song from one year to the next.
No distortion. Just shows how great they were.
Having heard the album version thousands of times, I like this take as a benchmark of greatness. And to see them performing is heartwarming.
"saw them 3 times , original lineup...so unbelievably tight!!"♫
You lucky shit! I saw Gregg in the 90's, but to see the original lineup would have been huge for me! What a great memory you have.
Man willy i would give anything to have seen them! I hope you treasure those memories
i saw them 4 times including the closing weekend at the fillmore and 9/19 at stonybrook

Hard to beat two gunslingers like Dicky and Duane. Great duo.

Mr. Betts. You wrote THE MOST BEAUTIFULLY COMPOSED SONG .......... EVER..... Other than Tchaikovsky. Trust me, a BEYOND amazing compliment
I may not quite go so far, for there are many beautifully composed melodic movements. But I understand your opinion with respect to this compostion, way in the very bottom of my soul...
Oh well!
But don't forget Danny Kirwan & Peter Green!
This version is awesome, first time hearing this one. BUT, the Live at Fillmore East version in my opinion is the most perfect song written. Pure perfection!
I agree but was just glad to find a video of them playing it, I never understood how that did not get taped at the '70' Fillmore East Show, really to bad at least I assume it didn't since I have searched my ass for it and can't find it.
I assume you mean the one on the album "Live at the Fillmore East"? This video was filmed at the Fillmore East, I believe...just a different time.
quasidiem99 yes from the album. Good point.

They were great at that
@@harryh5620 hate to disillusion you but they were jammin or jazzin. They did not work out the solo/ lead breaks and that’s why all the different shows recorded don’t sound the same. At the time of the bands Fillmore East breakthru and before Duane had been listening to Kind of Blue by Miles Davis.

I've been listening to this song for over 50 years. Always fresh. Never tire of it. Ever.
The baddest jam ever written and recorded. I'm so glad I found this and so thankful it was posted.
One of the nicest-sounding bands ever. Every time I hear them I feel like I’m listening to the best thing I’ve ever heard.
That drum break was terrific !!!!
The perfect blend of rock, jazz & blues as only ABB can do. This is quintessential ABB.
Lovely. One of the most beautiful and haunting songs ever recorded.
Damn how i miss this sheer musical interaction these days.
Derek and Warren carried the legacy on, but sadly it was discontinued. Allman Bros Band forever.
Just saw Allman Betts Family Reunion show, it was fantastic
As good as the band was after his death, I've always wondered what I would have in my library if Duane wouldn't have died. Gives me chills!
Dwayne was phenomenal
Or Berry. Or by now Butch and Gregg
Would be great to experience / similar to Jimi H.. Both moving towards a Jazz experience..Not just playing their hits..Look at the Jams!
@@donaldcronin3015 My dream concert is the Allman Brothers with Jimi Hendrix.
Most of the southern bands dedicated their albums to Duane Allman. So, not much. That first original Captain Beyond album was a dedication to Duane and it set my turn table ablaze many times. The death of Duane Allman though tragic set the south on fire with lots of wonderful power bands.
stuck in an endless ABB you tube hole what a band
I'm 68 and remember those days.
Im 68 to. Saw em 3 times.
Even though I was a Dead Head, the Allmans were the greatest American band by far and I did see them a few times as well.
The year 1970 produced some awesome film footage and classic sounds. There was Duane and the Allman Brothers Band at the Filmore; there was Terry Kath and Chicago at Tanglewood; there was Hendrix at Atlanta Pop and Isle of Wight, and I could add many others who registered smash hit performances and recordings. I truly miss that era.
Terry Kath...amen.
Don’t forget The Who at Tanglewood that same year.
Oh shit yeah, chicago at tanglewood, great great performance
I was in high school when the Fillmore East album came out . i played it constantly, and to this day, almost 50 years later, i'm still not tired of listening to it . it's just one of those albums that stay with you through your entire life . one of my great regrets growing up in Chicago, with so many bands coming through back then, is that i never got around to seeing these guys live.
You're absolutely correct. I've been listening to the Filmore East album since it came out, but I still drift away with this instrumental to this day. At age 71 I still love it.
You guys are so right! I've listened to the Filmore album since it came out as well. Whenever I need to soar into heaven and leave this place for awhile and get my head screwed on again this tune takes me there. God bless this group of guys
I remember reading an article in college, 40 plus years ago now. It was some type of top 10 listing with just a sentence or two describing each album (which were listed in no particular order). For Fillmore East it simply said "you can still heat buildings with this album". Never forgot it.
My album is so scratched up from playing it nonstop for months when it came out in the 70s. Incredible - especially Duane.
Fillmore East is fantastic! 23 min version of Whipping Post?? Why not!
A staple in the dorm rooms back around 1970. Numbers like this prove that the ABB transcended the "Southern Rock" moniker.
Yep, and playing Alice Coopers 'Schools Out' loudly out the window as the semester ended.
A staple in the dorm rooms in the '80s as well.....
There were many musical staples at our dorm then. What an era!
Besides laying beside the woman you desire, this video is the greatest thing any man on Earth can experience.
And if you've been lucky enough to do both at once ... brother life sure is peachy ... ;-)
Most satisfying thing short of sex. That's what i've always said about ABB.
