Bout’ time the weekend is rollin’ up! Whipping Post is the perfect start! Let us know what other tracks to check out by them! Our Patreon videos for this month also just went live abouttt 5 minutes ago so check that out if you’re interested, have a great one guys! 🔥😁🤟🏻
Boys! You guys are awesome! I love that you felt the ABB in just 1 song. Next song ONE WAY OUT at the Fillmore.You will learn so much about the joy of making music from them. They were around when Zep Sabbath Hendrix were at their peak.They were the pioneers of white Southern boogie blues! This was one of their 1st recorded tracks on their debut. A tamed down version of the band in 1969-1970. They were formed by imo the greatest slide guitar player DUANE ALLMAN! There are 2 guitarists 2 drummers bass and his little bro Greg on the B3 and vocals. The original band was only together for 3 years and managed to create their own genre. That being said their 'Live at Fillmore East' is known as the best live album of a time in many peoples eyes. They are my favorite band.
Alex could slip right into allman bros band,has that look.check out midnight rider,as always guys,great reaction,great day ,great life.
Enjoyable review to "feel." Especially after a break up. Haha.
Since you're in '69, going to '70 is a good transition - to '70 sleeper Trapeze's Medusa. You will never regret it!
Enjoy your weekend, Alex and Andy!
This song was done in 6/8 time and over the 3 years with Duane until he died at 24 from a motorcycle crash and then pretty much 1 year later to the day their bass player died in a motorcycle crash a few blocks from where Duane died.. they played many different time signatures. Butch was a marching band drummer and Jaimoe was a jazz drummer.. together with Berry on bass they have a monster rhythm section! DUANE.. he was the sole reason I picked up a guitar and I spent years learning his style and all of his solos on live Fillmore East.
Statesboro Blues would be my first suggestion. The Allman Brothers Band were a force of nature and the sons of Gregg Allman and Dickie Betts have now formed the Allman Betts Band, and are carrying on the family names. If you hear them playing any of the old Allman Brothers Band music you really can't tell the difference. They are that good! Also, there were two drummers in the Allman Brothers Band. Incredible group the musicians! Peace!
TWO DRUMMERS, TWO LEAD GUITARISTS, RHYTHM GUITAR, KEYBOARDS, GREAT VOCALS...COMPLETE PACKAGE❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
Two lead guitars, and Bass, not rhythm. Hard to ignore Berry thumpin' away!
Greg Allman who sang lead on this was only 21 when this was released. His voice is so rich and powerful. This my favorite Allman Brothers song. I never get tored of hearing it.
2 lead guitarists, 2 drummers, a bass player and the lead singer sitting at a Hammond organ! That's the Allman Brothers!
wow is an understatement. One of the greatest songs ever written!!!
When you listen to these songs, do you ever think wow, my grandparents rocked to this stuff,,,, and then think damn, maybe they were cooler than you?
THAAAANK YOUUUU!!! (TeeHee)
If only you knew .....
We ARE! HAH! I HAVE BEEN ROCKING FOR 65 YEARS. WE HAD A BLAST. ALLMAN BROTHERS WERE BETTER IN CONCERT THAN ON THEIR ALBUMS. Same for Zeppelin
We were pretty damn cool.
Music used to be great, just like this, now not so much.
I am so jealous of the two of you because you get to hear this great music for the first time. As much as I LOVE this music every time I hear it, I wish I could hear it for the first time again, if ya know what I mean...
Me too!
Me three! I remember the feeling hearing a lot of this music when it first came out. Looking back most bands were way ahead of their time!
These two guys are musicians and never heard of the Allman Brothers? Unbelievable!
Guys 2 DRUMMERS working working well together.
This is music I grew up on. Can't imagine what life would be like without that.
Yeah, it's almost the soundtrack of my life. Actually have the ABB playing in my car right now!
Ben X I am so onto what you're saying. I feel sorry for kids today. They are told to listen to ???. Do they search for great new stuff? I hope so, but if they want to FEEL the greatness of rock, go back...start right when rock got it's name, and work your way up to date. It's like losing a virginity. You can never be the same. Mind blown.
Ben X Macon was only 55, 60 miles south of us. And they used to play concerts in Piedmont Park. This was the late 1960s. The Park was just two blocks from Peachtree St and 14th St.
My sister and I are 2 years apart. We were teens in the 70s. I am so thrilled that I grew up in that decade. Such amazing music
Fuphyter Babe, you got the tail-end of the best music ever; the ‘60s contained the best music, by far!
If you like whipping post, listen to the live version on live at the Fillmore east!! I was in the audience (yes, I’m that old)
Lucky bastard.
That performance got me through my last year of college, played it over and over.
Whoah! You were there?!!!!! Nice!!!!! You sound great on that album! (and "Eat A Peach"! :D) Any memories? What time did the concert end?!!!!
@@TTM9691 “eat a peach” was the following year. I remember the smell of weed was dense.
@@geraldbrienza4474 The live stuff from "Eat A Peach" is from the same "Live At The Fillmore East" shows, so that would mean you're on both! Congrats! :D That's great to know about the aroma! I would expect nothing less!!!! In fact....I'll smoke to it right now! :)
Two drummers, two guitars players in the band. Another one to do: "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"
Fillmore East version
A masterpiece
Yes!
Circle back guys. Do In Memory of Elizabeth Reed
@@JimDorman ABSOLUTELY but must, should be live at Fillmore East '71 version. WOW
Imagine discovering The Allman Brothers for the first time in 2019 and these young cats don't even know about the late great Duane Allman yet and just his story alone and his important place in rock and roll history from his early session work and his jam sessions with Dickey Betts and the great live filmed performance at the Fillmore. So much to learn young grasshoppers. Wait until they discover Layla.
This kids are great, they just don't know what they missed in the 60's and 70's music wise!
Not to mention Duane Allman's contribution to "Layla" by Derek and the Dominos....one of the greatest Rock Songs of all time....
This is the stuff of my High school years, all this so called first time heard is kinda cool but this is the soundtrack of my life.
I give Alex and Andy a lot of credit for seeking out music from the past. There's so much more waiting to be discovered! The fellas should be psyched - great music ahead!
I discovered them back in 1970 and I am still amazed how incredible their music is.
At :45 Andy was talking about what he expected. It was like watching a toddler about to get his first taste of ice cream.Bless your heart
Haha...same reaction.
Could have said it better.
I was smiling ear to ear thinking his mind is about to be blown.
I actually laughed.
It is a pleasure to watch these two discover what we have loved for 50 years.
Jessica. One of the best instrumental songs of all time.
YES!
The solos in that song are killer! 🔥🔥
Jessica live at the U of Florida. Another wonderful instrumental is Hot Tuna 'Water Song'.
I knew a girl that had to listen to this song before every time she was going out for the night.
Facts
Statesboro Blues and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed from their Live at the Fillmore album.
Live version with Eric Clapton is pretty good too.
czcams.com/video/fZ7ol5ISxTM/video.html
Was lucky enough to see the allman brothers a couple times in the 90s the greatest was when the entire black crowes band joined them and they all played southbound for about 25 minutes guitar solos by Dickie Betts, Warren Haynes, Marc Ford and Rich Robinson it was amazing it was at great woods amphitheatre in Massachusetts wish I could find a video of it
Yes to both of those, such a good album
@@edcummings2379 And the first time I heard The Black Crowes cover of Dreams, I thought it was just an alternate take.
I agree, and I'd add "Stormy Monday" from the same album. Actually, just do the whole album. "Live at Fillmore East" defined how all live albums in the 70's would be done.
@@edcummings2379 Check out the band "Live at the Fillmore". They are amazing if you luv Allman Bros. They tour clubs, small venues.
The song was released November 4, 1969, written by Gregg Allman when he was 21. He was the singer as well. Gregg wrote this on an ironing board using burnt matches. He got the idea in the middle of the night and couldn't find a pen. This searing song is about a man who has been betrayed by his woman to the point where he feels like he's helpless - just tied to the whipping post, awaiting more punishment. Gregg Allman wrote it in Jacksonville in 1968, just after he returned from Los Angeles. Dwayne Allman played lead guitar.
Greg said that WP is a composite song but according to the book “Midnight Riders” it is really about Duane.
Duane in your left channel, Dickey Betts in the right! Immaculate! Dickey can shred too!
I've love Filmore East album when on road trip it has been my fav since 1976. Sweet Melissa is one of the best slower songs.
Duane Allman was simply one of the best guitarists of all time- probably THE best slide guitarist. Just ask any other guitar great you can think of. From his studio work, to playing on the "Layla" album with Eric Clapton as well as with the Allman Brothers, and he did it all in his short 24 years here on earth. My hometown is Macon, Ga where they lived, played, and where three of them are now buried. They will always have a special place in my heart.
If you like slide guitar check out Sonny Landreth
4 of them, right? Duane Allman, Gregg Allman, Berry Oakley, and Butch Trucks.
@@clayjones4841 greatest living slide player
@@clayjones4841 Ry Cooder. If the Stones picked him to play on Let it Bleed, he’s probably aight. And let’s not forget Lowell George of Little Feat. Fat Man in the Bathtub-live at the Rainbow Room in 77. He puts on a clinic.
The only thing better than Whipping Post is Whipping Post live at the Fillmore East.
Couldn’t have said it better. It’s 23 minutes long.
@@waynecox3958 it's a hella good 23 minutes, though.
Torey Belle That’s what I said.
@@waynecox3958 I know. I was giving you a little Hell, Yeah! Sometimes I don't translate well. LOL RIP Duane.
True that.
2 guitarists, 2 drummers a bassist and keyboardist and all in their early 20’s. Have a listen to them live at Fillmore east. Try Elizabeth reed from the Fillmore east concert.
You beat me to it... YES to Elizabeth Reed live! Absolutely classic stuff. In fact, I've got it playing in the background while I'm typing this...phenomenal.
Too lazy to check, exactly... Greg Allman, keyboards/vocals, was fresh out of high school. Duane was several years older, and waited for baby brother to finish, to get the sound he wanted. May they both RIP.
Midnight Rider
Stereo was huge with vinyl in the early 1970s.
100% Magic!
Live from the Fillmore best album ever.
I’m surprised you guys haven’t checked out Allman Brothers’ “One Way Out” at the Fillmore East, 1971. One of their best live performances ever, you guys would love it. Rock!
Note for A&A, "One Way Out" was not on the "Live at Fillmore East' album, but the live version was included on the studio album, "Eat a Peach.
John Miller but there is a video of it called Live from the Fillmore 1971.
@@sfbayareagirl thanks, didn't know
John Miller no problem. Here’s the link. czcams.com/video/yJ9twEldw_M/video.html
Funking A!
Boys, there were two drummers in the Allman Brothers.
"One Way Out." By the Allman Brothers. When the Guitar's start Ripping, you should experience a boost of Adrenaline.
A cover od Elmore James. Check him out boys
Absolutely One Way Out. !!
This is the correct answer after Whipping Post
If it’s not a problem with the rights for live performances, you really should visit modern live “jam” acts like Tedeschi Trucks Band and Phish/Trey Anastasio for example. Since you’ve worn a DMB shirt in vids, I’m guessing you all are at least familiar with some of these groups of current bands. But if you wanted to review a solid choice, there are vids of Derek Trucks (his dad was in Allman Brothers, and he’s one of the greatest guitarists alive - married to one of the top female blues singers )- playing with Trey Anastasio, swapping sit-ins with each others’ bands at a festival in 2019.
@@pebblesanddirt There's a few reaction videos to One Way Out. I don't think Allman Brothers Lovers are recommending it to the Boy's because they're sick of the song after 50 years of listening to it. The problem is they don't remember how thrilling it was when they heard it for the very FIRST TIME.
I saw Greg Allman and Dicky Betts in 1988-ish. Greg came on stage...so messed up it took him a good 2 minutes to find the ashtray on his grand piano. He finally just gave up, and ground it out on the pristine Steinway. I thought "Oh shit". But then Greg sat down, opened his mouth and sang like an angel. I swear that man could break your heart with his vocals.
Being a teenager in the 70's was great!!!! I don't think we even knew how much great music was everywhere!! Allman Brothers hold up 50 years later. So happy you guys found them!!!
Absolutely listen to “Live at Filmore East” Their version of the old blues song “Stormy Monday” is tops in my book!!
IMHO, the greatest live album ever!
Statesboro Blues!!!!!
Stormy Monday by ABB is sublime!
Possibly their best album, Duane ALLMAN said he was the best guitarist in the band, but Dicky Betts is the greatest! Bill Graham wanted them to be the last band to play at the Fillmore East. He couldn't have chosen a better group. This LP. Doesn't have one bad song on it, but Stormy Monday,Statesboro Blues, and Whipping Post are the top 3, they are all equally great, as was the band.
@@davidbriseno7719 YES!
"Midnight Rider"
"Soul Shine"
"Ramblin' Man"
Great list! Would add "Melissa". So beautiful.
Yep. This four.
YES Soul Shine
Soul Shine was actually written by Warren Haynes of Gov't Mule. The Allman Brothers released it before him, however.
@@lisaw5604 or "Jessica"!
Allman Brothers is my favorite band of alllllll time! Period! Listen to "In memory for Elizabeth Reed" live, also Blue Sky on Eat a Peach, and also . . . Just listen to Eat a Peach and Fillmore East and and and and and . . . Les Brers in A Minor. OMG, they are sooo good! Listen to Jessica!!!!!!! That won a grammy!
"Whipping Post" is from their first album (recorded Aug 69), titled "The Allman Brothers Band." People talk about the Allman Brothers launching Southern Rock... imho, "Whipping Post" launched Southern Rock, and every band-composed Southern Rock song after it are like housecats and "Whipping Post" is the Lion.
Yes
This song takes my breath away every time
Yes.
You'll get no argument from me!
Amen.
When asked what band do you like, Allman brothers always comes first. They have a jazz drummer and a rock drummer.
Allman Brothers used two drummers. Greg Allman, 21 years old when he first sang this, he was on the organ. Duane Allman died on a motorcycle about a year after this was recorded, he is considered one of the greatest guitarist of all time and he created the band and is the grandfather of Southern Rock, the founder. Dicky Betts, the other guitarist, also is listed in the top 75 greatest guitarist. This band is bluesy/rock and is also known for great lyrics and in live versions would just go off on wicked guitar solos that could last as long as 45, 50 minutes.Other great songs include: Ain't My Cross To Bear, Southbound, I'm No Angel, Ain't Waisting Time No More, Good Clean Fun, No One To Run With. Can you tell I grew up about 2 hours from them, the drive to Macon was always sweet
You have to mention that Duane ran into the back of a,peach truck on his bike in south Georgia,when he got killed.the last album he was on was titled EAT A,PEACH...Also Freebird was dedicated to Duane.
@@1bigrowdy Exactly one year later, Berry Oakley, the Bass player, died on the same street, also on a motorcycle.
Duane taught most of the Southern Rockers & a few Brits his style of slide guitar w/ a Coricidin glass bottle, to get that perfect tone... Accomplished so much in so little time. Layla + others. Makes a person think, ya know? smh. RIP Skydog Still have the music.
Greg passed April or May 2017. He be so so delighted with these two young DUDES.
@@lisaw5604 The story as told by Gregg Allman is in 1967 Duane had injured his fret / left hand in a motorcycle wreck and could not play the guitar and fell into a depression.He quit takin calls and isolated himself .Gregg went to see him when he answered to door Gregg handed him an empty corcidin bottle and turned around and left...As related by Gregg in The History of Southern Rock
Glad you chose this one, it's a stone cold classic. By the way, it was 1969.
In my opinion their best.......the angst in Greg's voice is so overwhelming! What a performance!
Thats right! 50 yrs old! I was 15 and got the tabs and played all day, every day!
@@bluesman3232 all his songs were so emotionally THERE, no less. He wrote this at 20 !!!!!!!
The Allman brothers invented the southern rock genre: dual lead guitars with competing leads, dual drummers etc. Their musicianship is unbelievable. Duane Allman was probably the greatest slide guitar player ever and Gregg’s voice is the quintessential bluesy, soulful singer. One of the best live acts ever. Live at Fillmore east changed the live album genre forever. Absolutely love Allman Brothers!
The Allman Brothers had two of the greatest guitarists who ever plucked a string - Duane Allman and Dicky Betts.
ANOTHER BANGER FROM THEM : ONE WAY OUT ,with slide guitar you really need to listen this one !
PtitMallerayzan - Speaking of slide guitars, don’t forget Lowell George in Little Feat. “Tripe Face Boogie” off of their live album “Waiting for Columbus”
Yeah boy. That's my favorite.
Just started appreciating these guys as i have gotten older. Easily one of the greatest American groups ever. These guys are phenomenal.
what has always been most impressive to me about the Allmans is how old Greg's voice sounded even at a very young age. He was 21 when this was recorded. :)
He sounded like a fifty year old black man. Stevie Ray Vaughan was the same way.
Saw Allman Brothers a number of times, this was and still is my favorite song..that voice
these guys would LOVE the live at Fillmore version, for sure. a 20 out of 10.
Whipping Post is an amazing song. It is a clinic in tension building and perfectly-timed and powerful spill-over.
I have seen many bands in my lifetime but seeing allman brothers in 74 was the best concert hands down the best concert I have ever seen. Best jam band ever.
From Live at Fillmore East you have to do Statesboro Blues, Statesboro Blues, Statesboro Blues, Statesboro Blues, Statesboro Blues, Statesboro Blues!! Duane Allman took slide guitar to a level never heard before and this song is a signature Duane Allman slide tune.
Welcome to the ABB boys. Arguably the best musicianship of any rock band ever created - and that's saying something when you consider Rush and all of the other great players. The live version of this song from Fillmore East is unreal. That live album is what put the band on the map. The song was recorded on August 7th, 1969. By the way, they had two drummers and two lead guitarists.
can't argue with that stance
I'm going with the classic Yes lineup for best musicianship, with ABB a close second.
I’ll vote for The Band but that’s no slight to ABB
Hard to compare. The Allmans were an improvisational outfit. Rush and the major prog rock groups tended to have intricate arrangements that had to be executed with razor precision or they'd fall apart. Apples to oranges, but it could all be great.
@@andyboerger Yes had songs that were in multiple time signatures. Not that changed time signatures, but different players playing in different times at the same time that only synced up every Xth bar.
Best southern rock/blues band to ever do it, especially at that time. Duane Allman, lead guitar and Berry Oakley, bass, both died very young, both from motorcycle accidents one year apart in almost the same location. Anything you wanna try next will work, they made nothing but good music, straight up! 2 drummers there, by the way.
For me it is Skynyrd but who really cares. Allmans were great. Outlaws were great. Hatchet list goes on
@@morganthomas1576 Agree...Especially The Outlaws...Fla Guitar Army.
1970- 2 drummers. Go to “In memory of Elizabeth Reed” next. Proud of you guys.
Not just 2 guitarists but 2 LEAD guitarists! Plus the 2 drummers. There's also the base. Their sound really changed tho after Duane passed and Dickie Betts basically took over. On keyboards was the writer of the song, and the singer: Gregg Allman. He was a genius and so was his brother Duane!
@@lesliebeacom4567 they recruited Warren Haynes and didn’t miss a beat.
@@RossM3838 My point was that Dickey's "sound" was completely different from Gregg's. Gregg's was blues, often rough sounding, & sad in a way, whereas Dickey's sound was light, bright, & happy.
@@lesliebeacom4567 and also different between. Duane and Haynes. Duane was a go for it where Haynes is more precise and controlled. Both are great. I went to school with trucks. Got to meet him a few times. He was always friendly and very nice.
I love these kids.
I used to rock head-bang like that in my mom's living room surrounded by large speakers.
Yeah, it's kickin' watching these young whippersnapper hear the masters at work. Duane Allman and Dickey Betts. Top of the heap.
The bigger the better! 🤣
Things have changed.
they were your age when they made this shit
sooooo many deep cuts from these legends
Allman Bros Stormy Monday from Live at the Fillmore.They’re one of those bands that’s even better live.
Geoff Franklin I believe Stormy Monday by The Allman Brothers is the best cover of any song ever...
The live version at the Fillmore East was epic.
It's cool seeing youngsters getting turned on to what we loved 50 years ago. They'll be listening to these guys 50 years from now too.
For your information, This is the first band to have dual drummers (not one. Not talkin about percussionist, full drumsets) and dual lead guitarists . A concept that thank goodness has been continued by the Tedeschi/Trucks Band. And rightfully so because Derek Trucks uncle Butch Trucks was one of the two original drummers of the Band (Capitalized because in the beginning when Rock/Southern Rock oozed out of the mud of the deep south, they were the foundation. They were the standard measured by). Also Derek first played with the Allman Brothers when he was 12 or 13 yrs old. Later to join the band in the 2000's. Susan Dedschi's band opened for them during this time (That is how she and Derek met,) So,yes, it is only fitting and true that these two carry on the tradition two drummers and two guitars, Although in the truest sense of the word Susn plays more rhythm than lead . She is steady growing as a lead player though. One can only hope that one day she and Derek will continue on with what Duane and Dickey started.
I cannot end without speaking of the classic southern blues/r%b perfect voice of Greg. if you take Greg or Dwayne out of the equation, there wouldn't be an ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND or rock and roll as we know it today!Another dynamic that oozes out of the collective gumbo of the deep south. You can mimic it but you can't own it without the experience of the deep south. That is why it all started down here. Yeah! Hallelujah!!! Sorry so wordy. But there isn't but ONE
ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND
For your information,this is NOT the first band to feature 2 drummers. There were a number of bands that have utilized 2 drummers prior to the ABB,just check out the Wikipedia on the ABB and you'll read why Duane wanted 2 drummers.
Gimme da grateful Dead- Birdsong Live 08/27/72!!
I've seen A LOT of great bands in my day... FLoyd, Dead, Zappa, Clapton, McCartney, Winwood, Joel, John, Reed, etc... The all-time best concert I went to was The Allman Brothers!!!!!!
Sounds like we have pretty much the same concert experience...Zappa was one of my first . Sadly, I never saw The Allman Brothers...sigh.
Man, I had the same experiences as you. By the time I’d graduated from high school I’d seen every band that came within a 100 mile radius and on several occasions farther. The Allman Brothers I was lucky enough to see four times and was never let down. Duane and Betts together were pure magic! Just as everyone else I was crushed when Duane died and then Barry. What a loss. For myself, Duane will always be the best guitarist to grace any stage. His slide work was unbelievable.
I think this is the greatest song ever written
Back inE the early 90s I was on a business trip and had to drive from Savannah to Augusta. For whatever reason, I had to swing out a bit west and ended up taking the local roads/state highways. The radio station played the whole Eat a Peach album. It was late summer/early fall. Cruising down the road in rural GA with these tunes and the setting sun...what an experience. I never stopped smiling.
Daaaaaamn! That was a moment to treasure for sure!!
Midnight Rider is where you want to go also Jessica is fabulous.
Greg Allman was 22 years old when he sang and recorded this. Probably younger when he wrote it. His older brother Duane was 23 playing those licks on the slide. Both RIP
When you close your eyes and move that head is when you literally feel the music.
I'm partial to "Melissa". Its a great song and I was named after it too, so there's that.
So cool!
My name is Melissa and its a fantastic song but don’t dare call me Sweet Melissa. Bad things will happen.
N.O.C.
I have it playing in my car on rotation! ❤
Allman Brothers : Ramblin Man, Midnight Rider, Jessica. 3 good ones to start with. Duane Allman, lead guitar player, is considered one of the greatest ever. Died young, but played on several hits with artists you would know like Eric Clapton, etc. You should research him
Yeah man!! Derrick and the Dominoes. Eric Clapton and Duane Allman, among others.
Humble Pie
live at the Fillmore
song "I don't need no doctor"
patrick snow - When they hear the FIRST NOTE of Marriott’s singing, their eyes will pop out and their jaws will drop!
"Stone Cold Fever", live or studio.
@@JohnnyHands - You're right. "Stone Cold Fever" is the best choice for first time. Studio version may be a slightly better.
Yes, a live version of this one for a first listen
I saw them do this in 1969 in Sarasota Florida, I was 14.
They pull you in. You think "this song was made for me", but EVERY SONG was that way. When they played Midnight Rider I just went off. Then Barry sang his solo, The Hootchie Cootchie Man. But In Memory of Elizabeth Reed grabbed me the tightest.
I knew this was the best band I'm ever going to see. And I saw Zeppelin and Elvis and Bowie and only Steely Dan were as musically masterful, but they weren't a stage band. The Bubbas rented a house in Venice on the Myakka River for rehearsing. They played all night.
Listen to Jessica. Top tune.
YES!
Great song to pick. You should also do midnight Rider
Trevor Chard definitely
yeah. this would be very comparable to Whipping post.
Rick Baltimore exactly
Indeed! And I've always loved 'Jessica' as an amazing song.
My favorite, great song.
Saying "organ" instead of "keyboard" will earn you extra points.
Say'n Mini Moog will earn you more!
@@cherylhaywood5139 - Hammond B-3
B-3, it’s a Hammond B-3 and a Leslie.
@@dougtombaugh4438 Thank you. I bow at the altar of the B-3.
😁
When " Live at the Fillmore" dropped, American music was changed forever. They took the Blues Rock Crown from the British Invasion and opened the door for the Southern Rock ere to come. No one played slide guitar as Sweet as Duane Allman. His work on Layla with Eric Clapton on the Derek and the Domino's album was the Zenith of the Rock Era.. and then he was gone, killed on a Triumph leaving his brother Greg with a shattered soul to carry on..
No dude, Duane was killed on a H-D Sportster.....
And now for the Fillmore East version...
In fact just react to the entire Fillmore East album...
@ Cap....Good call man ! 😎🎹 😎🎸
Nice sentiment, but Whipping Post is only the third best tune on that double-live album after IMoER and Hot 'Lanta
Hell yeah!!!!
You two picked a great song to start with in your discovery of The Allman Brothers Band. I really love Ramblin Man & Midnight Rider as well. I hope you may be able to play them as well some time. Thanks guys for doing this one.
Kathy H I think Midnight Rider first only because it’s gritty like Whippin’ Post, Ramblin’ Man, has a slightly more laid back style
This is definitely the song that hooked me. It was late in the day, a real shit day. Terrible day. Work was horrendous. Then this song came on the radio and summed it all up. I was immediately captivated and soothed. Who knows, it might've even saved my life.
Agreed.
If you dig Rider check out Marcus cover it with the same guitar Gregg wrote the song in the Big House where the band lived.. czcams.com/video/CismuSu99t4/video.html
For all those who care, the Capricorn Studios Museum is almost ready to open
One Way Out. My favorite kick ass tune of theirs. Duane’s slide work is impeccable.
They've always featured two drummers. You could veer off a little, and check out Layla from Derek and the Dominos, with guitar by both Eric Clapton and Duane Allman. Duane died in a motorcycle accident in Macon Georgia on October 29th 1971, at the age of 24. The Allman Brothers officially retired in 2014. Gregg Allman (vocals, keys) passed in 2017.
Thank you for relaying this info. There's a lot of people who do not realize Clapton & Duane did a 50/50, on the guitar work with "Layla". And, the most memorable parts (the screaming guitar portion) is Duane. RIP Skydog.
They have 2 drummers and 2 lead guitarist's. I think it worked.
Any man who has suffered through a bad marriage for any length of time knows exactly the feelings being expressed. An Amaizing song
Other fan viewers here agree...have to watch Fillmore East live jam version to see every super talented musician on stage wringing every last sound from each instrument. It will take you right back to 1970 with the whole look - hair, clothes, atmosphere. You won't regret it. Loved your reaction.👍👍
I remember listening to this high on Peyote riding to the Grand Canyon from Flagstaff in 1972. Also on that album "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed".
Remember kids: Don't do drugs!
We'd both probably be surprised to find out how many of the commenters on these reaction videos are in our age group....I know I resemble your remarks. I graduated from H.S. in 1972 in suburban ATL Ga.....so luckily I got to listen to the Allmans a lot....they used to sometimes play free in the park. What an awesome live band...probably better than on vinyl...................hang in there man....glad you survived!
@@gregkerr725, I think that you meant "Hang in there OLD Man!". I'm glad we made it too.
@@vampireslayer1989 Who you callin' old Willis! LOL
RIP Duane Allman. Died way too soon in a motorcycle accident at only 24. Considered one of Rock's greatest guitarists.
"Ramblin Man" a definite classic.
Kathy here - if you like the Allman Brothers, you need to listen to One way out - live - I have watched on here and there is no copyright on it. Then It's not my Cross to Bear and Midnight rider. All excellent songs. Greg is the lead singer, and he and his brother grew up about 25 miles from my hometown. Met Greg when I was 14. They were playing a free concert in Atlanta at Piedmont Park in downtown Atlanta. Greg and I actually became really close friends, and I was in touch with him up until about a month before he passed away. Duane Allman plays the slide guitar, and he was killed in a motorcycle accident at a young age. All of Georgia wept. To me, and yes, I am biased, they were one of the best all time southern rock and roll bands. Again, so glad to see the younger generation appreciating great music. Thanks for your review. Have a blessed day and keep reacting!
TWO drummers, two guitarists ... what made them magical ...
Also they recorded live. Old school style. One big room, live takes, maybe some splicing from different takes, but all live.
Also I love how you pointed out the pulling of the bass and the grounding of the keys. Yes. Sound engineers unite!
Marshall Tucker band doing can't you see live is a must listen 😍🇨🇦
This reaction was over 4 years ago...hope they went back revisited their performance from the live at Fillmore east..it's even better live
Gregg Allman wrote this song at age 20. All the band members were in their early 20's in this album and the Fillmore Live album.
Hey guys - Love your channel! Great instrumental banger by the Allman Bros is “Jessica”. I also love “Ramblin’ Man” and the haunting melody of “Midnight Rider”.
IN MEMORY OF ELIZABETH REED - Live at Fillmore East
Don't forget Hot Lanta.
Live at the Fillmore East “Statesboro Blues”!!!
The intro alone is worth it with Duane Allman’s slide work.
Blue Sky is a must. That guitar solo is harmonic, melodic and hypnotic. The perfect trifecta.
Andy when you started your channel doing full album Floyd and Sabbath reacts I knew you were someone that was truly searching for real music. Then you bring on Alex who I could tell even before you guys made it public that you both were musicians reminded me of me and my friends who spend some really late nights jamming and then trying to rip each others heads off playing albums of our musical heroes. I'm saying this for real you guys are real and that's why you connect with this music and that's why we all connect with you. Honestly if I were you guys I would do a full album Friday cut of Allman's Live at the Fillmore East start to finish. I guarantee you it will change your lives. I'm 100% serious- this cut was only the tip of the iceberg for them. DUANE will change you as a player. He was what has never been and never will again. Much love guys!!
Thanks for playing The Allman Brothers Band, my favorite band for 50 years. "Don't Want You No More/It's Not My Cross To Bear" was off their first album in 1969, would love to see your review. The Live at the Fillmore East was considered one of the greatest live albums of all time.
1969 !! I graduated in '66. AWESOME reaction, to a great song !! Keep it up !! BTW two drummers and two guitarists, and a Hammond B-3 organ.
If you give this studio version a 10, you can't even grasp how much better it is on their live "at The Fillmore" album.
You guys absolutely nailed the essence of what makes this song such a classic. So glad you both gave it a 10. Allmans were on a whole other level.
8:00 - I've heard this song thousands of times, never noticed that - thanks for pointing it out!
My daughter's elementary school had an annual Fall Festival for the kids. One year they hired a live band to play at the festival. It was an Allman Brothers cover band, and "Whipping Post" was one of the songs they played to the audience of little kids. I was digging it, but the kids thought it was scary.
1969 and they weree all soooo young! 17 to 21. 2 sets of drums and 2 lead players. By the way Gregg Allman wrote that and he was 17 years old and he sang it like he was an old soul.
Yup. That sounds like a ten to me. The Allman Bros were an amazing band and I can't encourage you enough to continue to check out their catalogue. I freakin love these guys and that is just the sound I chase when I play.
You guys are one of the best channels out there on CZcams.
American made we are biased but I certainly agree
Agreed, love your guys' vibe.
You guys are great- I just discovered your channel. It was 1971 - It's a Beautiful Day opening for the Allman Brothers at Musicarnival. A big tent- either we were broke or couldn't get tickets so we ran around being chased by guys in Karate suits but managed to sneak in lifting up the tent. Unbelievable show- 2 drummers in crazy synchronization. Greg's amazing vocals and Duane's masterful guitar. (He played for Clapton doing the slide on Layla). Sadly, he died in a motorcycle accident four months after I saw them. It's a Beautiful Day were equally amazing. ❤
I am 63...grew up on this music and am happy people are finding it again...Allman Brothers is one of the biggest bands of all time...we have current groups that grew up from these groups like Tedeskie Trucks Band, Derick Trucks uncle was the Drummer for Allman Brothers, Warren Haynes with Gov't Mule played guitar with them in the day and on a different note Joe Bonamasa especially the Carnegie Hall Album is priceless.
'69, I believe. Band had ups and downs and more than their share of tragedy. THE pioneers of southern blues rock. Check out, in the same vein, their "Not My Cross to Bear". Tasty.
Not My Cross to Bear is another awesome song..........been listening to these guys since around '69.
One of ABB's most popular songs is an acoustic sort-of ballad called "Melissa" which has a lead guitar playing almost through the entire song. ABB, and other southern rock, used major pentatonic in the solos quite a bit which gives it a sweet, unique feel. ABB also used two lead guitars in harmony a lot, as they do in Whipping Post.
Just the opening alone is epic
