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

Came here to pay tribute to Dickey Betts RIP
Same 😎
Copy that. Legendary.
RIP
Same here 👈🏼❤
Ditto 😢
Everybody’s dream was to be in a band like that... so happy for those boys they found lightning in a bottle. Such a thing to behold,
Good post. Maximum feeling by The Allman Brothers.
Yeah.. Lightning in a corcidin bottle lol catch my drift ?
No stopping them !
@@Mr.CoachBeaulieuThey lived together in a wood shack with a tin roof 80 miles South of Macon Georgia in a cow pasture when they wrote these songs . How else could a person do it?
In one of Dickey's last interviews , he said that this band was the best thing that ever happened to him. Also, him and Gregg loved each other and that the media hyped up their falling outs. They were a family and Lord knows that families fight.😉
Who in the hell would thumbs down The Allman Brothers, you're not right get help
They have no idea the magnitude of this.
@@brothersvilleknifeLook what there listening to. Thankful for the Memories of the Great times. We have Blackberry Smoke carrying on the way home. Miss Duane and Tom Petty Adios 🌄🐴
Ignorant without heart people. Those are the only ones who would thumbs down
I was at this show. I was a regular at the Fillmore East. It was close and tickets were 4 to 5 dollars. We could afford to go every week. I was the right age, in the right place, and got to witness rock and roll history. The legends all played there. The music they gave us is still considered rock and roll gold.
A while back on CZcams maybe a year or so ago, there was a picture of the marquee sign over the Fillmore with the line up of bands on closing night. I can’t remember them all, but I remember the Allman Brothers Band, the J. Geils Band, Mountain and others. Were you there? You were one fortunate dude. I bet you were the one who shouted “play all night”!!
@@michaelbirke6050 The marquee on closing night says : ALLMAN BROTHERS J GEILS BAND ALBERT KING JOE'S LIGHTS. Search Fillmore East, Images. You will find a photo, I'm sure. I can't send you mine or I would.
Yes, I was at that last concert. I didn't miss very many, as I said, I was a regular there.
@michaelbirke6050 the bill for the concerts that sourced the Fillmore East album was,Allman Brothers, J.Geils Band and Albert King.....
In early/"spring 1971....awesome bill....
@@michaelbirke6050 those concerts took place before the last shows.... I think a few months before....the Fillmore LP was not sourced from the last shows
From 1963-1978 the best music ever was born, and I was allowed to experience that time and was young. I have everything ..... and thank god.
So sad that we can't recover the lost fidelity and volume of these great shows. At least we can hear the rest of the band, and what a blessing it is. I almost feel sorry for the folks that won't or haven't discovered these great bands of the past. There is nothing like them alive today.
I agree. I miss analog recording, tube amps and cords all over ☺
So true, Southern randr rules
Truth 💣💣💣💣💣💣💣. We're so lucky and the coolest for it. Songs of the 70s gave us a really cool 😎 aura. Songs of today's generation makes them friggin killers idiots and thugs. We're blessed
Killin' me..A really bad loss in recording history..damn.
A quote by Duane Allman (November 20, 1946 - October 29, 1971): "You can't help the revolution, because there's just evolution ... Every time I'm in Georgia, I eat a peach for peace".
Peace be unto you my brother. RIP.
I love the ABB!!!
Hey from Hotlanta! ABB Forever
Yup, the reporter's question was "what are you doing to help the anti Vietnam war movement?" ✌️😎
Harry the hat is correct too, but he just beat me to it
@@patrickc.mcevoy2065 Eat a peach 🍑 was slang for eating pu##y , Duane and Greg were good old Southern boys , Read Greg Allman's book it's great, his father was murdered when he got out of the service and was trying to help out a fellow soldier , great book
These guys could play for five hours completely stoned and never miss a note
Oh, they missed a lot of notes -- not like I blame them. But when you listen to the complete Fillmore recordings, it's obvious why the versions for the original LP were chosen. For some reason there's a good handful of times Dickey Betts loses the downbeat in his solos. On an outtake of Hot 'Lanta, for instance, he somehow winds up a half-measure ahead of the rest of the band, and it really fucks everyone up.
R.I.P. Gregg. The Brothers are reunited. Thanks for the decades of great music.
I'll tell you this, no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn. Dickie Betts was one of the best guitar players in the world & only because Dickie & Greg were both great song writers was probably the only reason the Allman Brothers were able to continue on & be successful. We all get old but it's sad when the people who provided us with the music that created the soundtrack of our lives get old & pass away & the Allman Brothers Band were a big part of my life as anybody & I wish them peace & love & togetherness for eternity in Heaven 🎸
❤
Very nice sentiments posted❤
The Brothers were unbelievable
Can't wait to get to heaven myself so I can listen to these guys again.
my favorite all time American band. Fillmore East live best live album.
My all time favorite as well!
@@annettedarling4212 All these years since I heard it fresh on vinyl. Heart and soul.
Best album live or not....PERIOD!! ALSO...best band across all genres....of any bands out at that time. Live or recorded...they never failed to deliver and entertain. Amazingly synced musicians!! All of the band members...but in particular...the guitarists were unparralled!!
Berry Oakley was one of the most undersung bass players ever. His parts were just so damn appropriate to the situation, yet ingenious.
If you haven't heard this isolated track of Berry, you're gonna love it. czcams.com/video/3OuDaqSFvYc/video.html
Berry 🎸🖤🍄🍑🎵♾️
And he was one wicked good guitar player as well.
Berry Oakley was as brilliant as the guy that picked him out to play with the Allman Brothers Band 🖤🍄🍑🎶🎸🎵🎸
well, he's world famous you know
That's one good thing about CZcams you can watch in Awesome video from 1970 in 2020 and appreciate The Allman Brothers Band when they were just beginning this is pure gold and will be cherished for years to come . God blessed these old videos that find their way to CZcams
Happy birthday skydog! Duane would have been 71 yrs old today. 11/20/46. We can only imagine what he would have contributed to the music world. He had contributed so much already at 24.
I think he had hit his peak already ala Eric Clapton great guitarist whose best work was all early on. Duane had already influenced so many artists as a sessions guitarist before the ABB. His unique blues and Jazz influenced playing made Dickey Betts the monster guitarist he became and he took over leadership after Duane left way too early.
Dickey Betts is my favorite rock guitarist, and his song Blue Sky my all time favorite song. Such great guitar work. RIP Dickey Betts. 🎸
Same here brother. Duane is my favorite all time but Dickey was the man. RIP
I grew up on Allman Brothers, Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, etc. By the time I was born(1988)this music was dead and gone.
Duane's playing is honestly so powerful and soulful that it brings a tear to my eyes
Right, Duane Allman is the greatest musician next to Brian Wilson. It is the difference between a southern sunset and the neon lights of Hollywood Boulevard. Advantage Beach Boys.
same here
Powerful 😮
I can't believe the Allman Brothers are gone. I'm so grateful we have these recordings. This music is timeless
Watching this makes me want to cry. Gregg Allman's passing away today hurts my soul
The music of the 60s and 70s was spectacular. We will never see this talent again.
kristi schrittwieser this was truly a golden era for music... but to say that we’ll never see this talent again is to ignore all that’s come since. I’d encourage you to check out Marcus King & The Sheepdogs, both acts are younger and prove that southern rock is very much alive 😄
Very true. Well said. The shit being spewed out nowadays is beyond abysmal. It is all no talent, uninspiring, unintelligent garbage.
@@BrettSmithDaniels The originators will always be superior to the copiers.
@@Tessmage_Tessera not always necessarily true! The Allman Bros influences came from further back than just the 1960's, and nobody can deny they built upon those foundations. The same is true of certain newer acts. It doesn't detract from the older acts though, they deserve their reputation and place in music history - but there are many incredible musicians right now being overlooked. Have a listen to some of the artists I listed 😁
Check out my tunes
Unbelievable. Saw them twice with Duane. I've seen so many groups live but these guys are by far the best in concert!
Duane might be the heart and soul of this band, but without Greg the legend would never continue... He is definitely the quintessential brother.
True. Best rock vocal and best rock guitar. And to go to No. 1 after Duane died showed straight up heart.
As long as Audio and Visual recordings exist and we have the means to watch and hear them, Duane Allman will be immortal.
Tell me who else had this kind of soul at ages 23 and 24? These guys were in a class by themselves.
I sent out "My Cross To Bear" and said the same thing: and is what a 23yr.old voice sounds like?!!! Amazing.
Paul McCartney and John Lennon did release Rubber Soul at 23 & 24.
@@paulbernal6088 not even on the same level in my eyes
@@coryjarosz7663 not a very nice thing to say about Duane Allman.
Amy Winehouse had this kind of soul at 16
I suspect I'm not alone when I find myself as emotionally gripped by the passion of Dickey Betts guitar work as I am by Duane Allman in this awesome early performance. They were the perfect foil for each others approach , contrasting and distinct in their tone and feel but capable of playing as though of one mind, lost in the melodic but, found in the harmonic, a band in sync but sympathetic to living in the moment.
Their music is so compelling, it's complex but accessible, uncompromising but never elitist, an antidote to all that's bland and formuleric in modern music.
The Allman Brothers band are inclusive, nurturing the talents of guitarists like Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, and very much a musical family who while carrying the torch within the band have broken new ground in various bands and musical collaborations taking their music to new places and new heights of virtuosity and in the process Inspire a new generation of musicians.
Your astute observation expressed with such divine articulation is a breath of fresh air ! I hope to find your comments on other posts.
Duane Allman is the best and the most passionate guitar player who ever lived. This my opinion but I truly believe I'm right.
Let's not forget Dangerous Dan Toler
Guy R.C. I love Dickey’s playing and i agree that him and Duane complemented each other fabulously. However it seems to me that Duane was leading the situation and I think it shows in his playing
Very well said!
This always makes me happy. My generation. God bless these everlasting talented gifts.
Seeing Skydog play is a gift all these years later. He gave so much in his short life.
RIP Gregg. Roll on, Blue Sky.
Three. Years. That's all these guys gave us. Imagine 25 years of this deliciousness.
I never made the show, I was only 14. I just now came across this video, and I'm not 14 anymore. Bless you boys, you were awesome.
Too Sad you missed a Live Performance. These guys were Southern Rock.
Duane's incredible gift for finding his place for the pitch he wanted no matter where on the neck he began a slide from was always uncanny. This video captures much of that magic. Quick stops, down, up vibrato, pitch and timing perfect dives - amazing stuff. Derek Trucks is the closest I've heard since, but Duane always sounded so spontaneous that you felt in in your spine.
Spontaneous is a fantastic way of describing his playing. It almost feels like a tightrope act all the way through one of his blistering slide solos in a way. In my opinion, Derek has truly taken Duane's ideas and approach to slide playing and taken them to an even higher level. Duane was playing it unlike anyone else back in his day, and Derek is now doing the same with this generation of music. Both are fantastic for numerous reasons.
David Zabel duanes fatal accident was no accident it was DEMONIC by design...the motorcycle was FLUNG into the air and landed ON TOP of poor duane ...he WAS wearing a helmet but the sheer force of impact broke the helmet open and it fell off...the evil nature of his crash and subsequent tragic death points squarely at demonic evil forces at work here...evil spirits DO NOT fuck around...they get right to it....I'm not blaming Mr. Allman....he tried to obey the traffic laws and he still got ripped apart...I'd love to see the remains of the helmet after the crash just to prove my point...I know non believers would say bullshit there's no such thing as demos or evil spirits it was just a sad tragic accident but something tells me it was more...and much worse ...than it seemed...rip duane and gregg....loved and missed...always....hope there are a lot of peach trees where u are now....
Nothing but ears & hands.
✌
Duane's guitar gently weeps. His guitar sings beautifully
Watch his facial expressions music just flows out
Classic
@@MsMbpayne Sadly, that's about all we can watch because the cameraman was too ignorant to focus on what Duane's hands were doing.
The Allman Brothers at the height of their powers. All original lineup in top form. Damn, I regret not being able to see them but when this concert was recorded I was not quite 12 years old. Timeless music that never ages. RIP to the lost boys but their music will never die.
Back again. It doesn’t get any better than this. The definition of drip. Long Live The Allman Brothers Band!
Every time I come on any of the old Allman Brothers, with Duane especially, I hit LIKE each time!
One of the best blues players and a voice for the ages.. Rest easy Greg
Dickey Betts is effortless in this, what an amazing stage of musicians.
incomparable; peerless music.
RIP Dickey Saw the ABB many many times over the years and it was always a joyous occasion
The coolest,funkiest,original,talented,rock and roll band,that ever was.The Allman Brothers. Peace
Simply sublime, spiritual and otherworldly. It doesn't get any better than listening to a perfect group of musicians having fun together.
Ahhhhh!!! Duane Allman, Dickie Betts, Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks, Berry Oakley, and Jaimo.. What a breath of fresh air. Back when there were real musicians playing real instruments.
@@michaeliscoool this is an open platform I am free to voice my opinion sorry you don't like it or maybe you are a struggling Jazz musiciant that is just butt hurt that Jazz is dead, cheers
totally agree brotha
They were on point, much like Zappas bands
@@longdark4ever jazz isn’t dead it just smells funny - Frank Zappa
@@eis904 hahaha Roxy!!!!
The best American rock band of all time
Yes and no. Listen to "Do You Wanna Dance" by the Beach Boys. Duane Allman is the greatest musician of all time, next to Brian Wilson, who went toe to toe with the Beatles and won. (Pet Sounds is the greatest pop record in history, by acclimation..)
@@herbertrichard614 I love Duane, but stop with the hyperbole. Duane Allman can't hold a candle to someone like Stevie Wonder, for example. Or Vladimir Horowitz.
@@q45ij54q Fair point and Eddie Van Halen is as good as Duane Allman.
Lynyrd Skynyrd comes 1st The Allman brothers second
Let's put it this way you can't mention rock blues bands without mentioning the Allman Brothers okay!!! Their music never gets old!!!
Five-star rock and roll - there is nothing like this anymore - I was blessed to have been there.
Were you at this particular show, if you don't mind me asking?
Oh wow!!! You are so lucky!!! That must have been one hell of a great time!!! If only we could go back and do it again....
Those of us who are over 50 know this is one of the best albums ever! RIP Gregg Allman.....may you be with your brother Duane resting in Rock n Roll Heaven!
Actually, these are not the performances that went on the original Fillmore East album - nor are they on the reissue of the entire Fillmore East recordings that were the source for the original, which is well worth the purchase. But you’re right: That original At Fillmore East album is one of the high water marks in rock/blues/jazz history
Not resting! I want them playing full blast with Lennon, Hendrix, Elvis, etc al.
I'm 33 and I know hehe
This isn't even the record. This is from another show. The album sounds way better but this performance is close to equal but very different. The live album is way better but here you can see them! What a band!
I play this album often and 74
This is easily some of the best music you’ll ever hear, whatever you’re doing it doesn’t matter. This is serious music right here
Divinely one of the best duo's of lead guitar ever Duane&Dickey!!!
Totally killer. Duane is the greatest musician in history, a Mozart of his time.
I'll say it again, Dickey Betts has never gotten the recognition he deserves so much for being a phenomenal guitar player!🍄🍑
The problem is that Dickey played in the same band as Duane Allman
Charlie daniels gave him a shoutout
Agreed ma'am
Dickey is da man
Bullshit
Now both brothers are immortal...thanks for the music, Gregg and Duane. Rest In Peace.
When Bands Played Live. No Miming No Backing Tracks No Idiots Jumping Around The Band. Just Pure Music And Great Musicians. Very Few Bands Can Do This Today.
Very yes indeed!
Lotsa bands still do it, radio just dont care
Not really sure about all the various theories concerning an afterlife ---- but it is somewhat comforting to think of Dickey Betts joining Duane and Greg Allman, Berry Oakley and Butch Trucks to play together again. RIP Mr. Dickey Betts.
Oakley was certainly one of the greatest Bass players in Rock history.
Amen !
And underrated. A huge influence on anyone who has ever played the electric bass.
His son plays bass with Gregg and Dickey’s sons now. It’s fun to see them carrying on the legacy.
Don't forget Phil Leish
Lamar Williams
Duane's guitar playing is just unreal!!! What a talent he was!!
+Mc Ren True, Sky Dog's playing is at times simply spiritual, a prayer on six strings!
+Mc Ren he never even got to peak man that's what blows my mind
no truer words could be said! both he and Berry Oakley were magnifique! and I saw them in 1970, at the Spectrum, in Phila.
Every one says Dickey was underrated . Not how many notes you play in a minute or how loud it is doesn't make you better . Duane played from his HEART and SOUL !
He was better . But it's close .
Im going down the Allman Bros musical rabbit hole .Duane is the one I’m not yet familiar with (listening).
Greg is intriguing.Dickie (his stance and his stern demeanor)scare the $ out of me.
Duane-bc of your comment? Looking forward to listening to Duane.
Never do I ever get tired of watching these gorgeous, oh so talented men set the stage on fire with their awesome gifts!!!! LOVE IT ❣️🥰🎸🎹🎤🥁🪕🎶💓
Duane and his guitar gave new meaning to the word "sweet". Miss ya, brother.
Well Gregg, you are now jamming with Duane. We will miss you forever. Thank you so much for the superb soulful sounds. RIP Bro! Much love from Brooklyn, NY
Wonder what Billy Graham thinks of all the jammin' going on there!!!
James Cashin and much Love from Warsaw, Poland.
Original Brooklyn girl here.
Man duanes first solo in whipping post is epic. I wish he'd have stuck around longer. What an awesome group the Allman brothers were with Duane leading.
+Will Thacker when people at concerts other than Allman Bros used to shout out a request to what ever band was onstage for "Whipping Post" - this version could very well be the reason why - that was amazing right?
Maybe some did it for that reason but we did it because the band onstage couldn't play for shit and we were being assholes about it. Not nice but that's what happened.
Gregg was 23 when this was recorded? Jeezus, he sounded like an old bluesman even as a kid. Unreal voice, great muscians
Much was said of Johnny Lang's voice at 16 years old. Compared to Gregg's voice and blues singing it was phenomenal. I loved to hear Gregg sing, all the way until he married the gypsy. I gave up on him for that brief period, then he redeemed himself once again. Great blues singer.
@@Iatolaazzahola.
Slow hand was intimidated by him even!-Back then Clapton "was God". Layla man......
Same as Derek Trucks. Some symmetry huh? ✌
True True my man... I was piay lego blocks when was new 1970 (so lucky my oider bro bought albums & not just POP hits)
Ive been listening to these guys since 69 and still not tired of it. In fact i often hear something i havent noticed before! Amazing chops. Thanks guys for the music.
R.I.P Greg Allman. Your memory will live on through your music.
I grew up listening to these guys. Just always loved it even though I was in elementary school when this performance happened. Good music never dies.
RIP Mr Betts. Great guitarist and songwriter . May you find peace my brother
I came here to pay tribute to all the allman brothers..only one left..rip brothers
When with Barry Oakley and Duane Allman, The Allman Brothers are solidly ranked in the top 5 of all time great bands.
Try number 1
They are a great band but I think The Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, the Who & Springsteen top them out, and I haven't even mentioned Dylan
"Whipping Post" compared to.....can anyone think of anything The Beatles did that even comes close? I'm struggling to come up with something.
Military Mom A day in the life is my favorite Beatle song but so many of their songs got played to death back in the day that what was classics such as Magical Mystery Tour, Hey Jude or Revolution became stale over time. Love Whipping Post snd love the Allman Bros but you would have to be a die hard to say they were in the same league, which is fine
HamiltonRb Hamilton RB...ok, fair enough so point taken. Happy New Year!
Thank you Gregg Allman for your soulful music which still touches people's musical souls yesterday, today and forever... Sending prayers to all of Gregg's family and loved ones at the news of his passing away today on May 27, 2017... Amen.
Being blind is not a musical hindrance, it is a musical benefit when you can see with your ears!
I can always come back to this recording and be reminded of how good things can be.
Me too. That's why I've grabbed every one of the very small collection showing the band at play. ;D
Goodbye, Gregg, Duane, Berry, Butch. There will never be another. Tears run down my face, will surely miss you, The Allman Brothers. Wish I can be with you in my "Dreams".
Bless! until we meet again
@stagga lee whoa Reggie hear u right Got your ass dude
TALK to you later sorry I can't make it corny and I love 💘 this music yes it makes me cry some time Thanks to the All man Brothers!!!!! Yes
Man this dude s Lee is obviously not a good fan. Fanatical!!!!
I am deeply saddened by the terrible news. RIP to one of the greatest blues voices there ever was. My deepest condolences go out to his friends and family. Rest in peace Greg, you are gone but never forgotten.
Okay finally at 14:49 or thereabouts I can finally hear Greg, one of the greatest vocalist of all time.
it is one of the biggest mistakes in rock live recording history lol Gregg was absent for the first half of it because some dude back in the day forgot to turn him up when the band started playing, which leaves us without the vocals by one of the all-time greats for half of this video. Sucks. At least there was some mic bleed so we can at least _just_ hear him. Better than nothing, I guess.
@@STSGuitar16 hahah, i hadn't thought of it that way, but it is actually one of the biggest mistakes of live rock recording history. damn
@@placeboing for real man. There are only a handful of videos of them from this era, and of course someone screwed up half of this precious film lol
Point. Gregg Allan is the finest singer in history. And, of course, Duane Allman is the best musician in history. Wonder why they went to No. 1 in the woirld?
Unlike most kids my age who listen to one song from the 80’s and say they were born in the wrong generation, im just sad I wasn’t born in the 60’s to see the allman brothers work their magic. I grew up on allman brothers, Grateful Dead, fleetwood mac, tedeschi trucks, .38 special, and now, phish. I wish I could see all of these bands before most of them split up or died. I now play the guitar and are learning my childhood songs. Just turned 16 and miss every minute of 5-10 years old. Just some weird facts about me.
I feel the same way. I'm 17 and wish I could've see these bands too
I was there. Great concert with several other acts, Van Morrison, The Byrds, Sha Na Na, Elvin Bishop Group. Ticket was 4$ & Bill Graham collected tickets at the door. Miss those days.
NYC girl
Wow. Just wow! Lucky you!
I am officially very jealous
moi aussi !!!
Even as a teenager/young adult in the 70's and 80's, ticket prices were actually affordable and
gave me the opportunity to see and hear many great bands. Not the multi band extravaganzas of the late 60's and early 70's but still very memorable.
I was doing that for a while but they're all getting too old. : (
When they need a teleprompter to remember songs they've sang for a lifetime, it's time to give it a rest.
Every time I listen to Duan or Gregg playin' - It's like an hug of your best friend. This music is like sayin: "Don't bother bro, everything will be all right."
It's so fluent, streamlined, flowing in time - like there is no yesterday or tomorrow. Greegg's voice so calm. All band sound so natural . . .
the sound of brotherly love
Brother bro? Which one is it😂
Very well said....
Butch said it was a perfect night with no problems and very rare
My god, if only I could give this video 10 thumbs up. Pure greatness. Even with the vocals kinda screwy in the beginning, everyone else picks it up for it in big ways. What chemistry!!!!!
Watching this the day after Dickey’s passing. I’m still shaken by it. My favorite band. I really never quite understood why. They just touched my musical soul like no other band. Their guitars were like waving magic wand’s over my ears. I miss them all greatly.
Man I'm right there with you brother. The songs are stitched to the fabric of my soul. Born in '58 and the notes still sound so fresh.
GREGG AND DUANE god rest your souls,your music is in our recollection for ever,i personally think they were both genius, tied to the whipping post,extraordinary,both contributed to one the best bands ever,genius always head and shoulders above the rest,RIP BOYS YOU ARE SORELY MISSED
I was there when Bill Graham announced that he would be recording the concert, it was the second show back in the day they would play two shows a night,one of the best concerts I' ever saw they where so tight great band RIP Allmans
Graduated H.S. in the 60s so grew up during those phenomenal years. Still listening to Fillmore East original pressing today! Never gets old.
The soul in this band will live on forever. They put heart and honesty into every note they played, every word Gregg sang came from the heart. The Allman Brothers brought our band together, and or mission along with many other bands is to keep the purity of this music alive and well.
I can't get enough of the Allman Brothers with Duane.
Same. My favorite band to listen to in the fall, their music fits Baton Rouge so well! Anyways cheers!!
The man could play!
Me too.
That's the only Allman Brothers - with Duane and Barry. Everything since is a tribute band.
@@chriscrawford2401 it has been said that there was this force field flying between Duane and Barry and the rest of the band were captive in it. I think that was a very accurate description of what was going on. They were a force of nature!!
I get an indescribable feeling when I hear Dwayne Allman play.
Duane Allman is easily the greatest guitar player in history. Consider that Hendrix, Clapton, Page, and Beck were all attempting to recreate a world that Duane lived in. Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
Wow! I haven't seen or heard this before. Just spiritually high music by some outstanding serious musicians. You can hear the various musical influences that flow from them. I saw Greg during his discredited years of notoriety around 87, at free concert in Florida. Nobody but bikers bother to show up. His band played on flatbed with no flash, and they were just as amazing - dedicated to the music.
America's greatest band
Yes....just a great band. Duane and Dicky, such great compliments to each other. And Dicky is so under rated! A huge part of the Allman brothers catalog can be attributed to him. Yeah, these guys lead the way for legions of kids learning how to play. Really, every single member was integral to this band. Huge talent and karma. Thanks guys!
I’ve been listening to the ABB for about 40 years now and I absolutely love their music and still do. R.I.P. brothers.
It's been over 50 yrs for me and I'm a great-grandmother of 83 now. I turned on my young teens to ABB, my grandson and now my great-grandson--but they'll never appreciate these musicians the way I do. Good lord, I feel like I'm dyin'...
There has never been anybody like Gregg Allman. Maybe a lot has to with his brother Duane pushing him in the beginning. Duane had a lot to do with it, but the talent came from Gregg. Don't let us forget the talent of Duane Allman. Rolling Stone magazine named him #2 in 2010 as the greatest guitarist, dead at age 24 from a motorcycle accident. So talented. So creative in ways we will never know. Let us not forget "Skydog".
Berry Oakley is always in the top bassists lists too. Genius group.
This music is gone forever,. Thankfully we have the recordings for those who weren't around then. My wife's best friend lived in Texas and seen them playing in a bar, a bar They were out the door in the parking lot listing to The Greatest Southern Rock Band of all time.R.I.P DICKEY BETTS.
This music isn’t gone.The era is (this generation produced the very BEST music based on human experience).
If this band and this lineup were not the best rock/blues band EVER, I really don't know who is. Completely amazing performance
They were and it is.
Absolutely!!!👍
By Far the Best !!!!!!!!
I'm drunk and they are the BEST !
ABSOLUTELY !!!!
Best band, and CCR.
I am completely beside myself, never seen the original line-up play together in person or on video.... my God that whipping post, every single one of these band members is a master of their own craft, it's like watching a rocket take off, they don't stop... So Good to see Dwayne and Berry .. incredible
I seen them many of times, & my late bf saw them all 5 nights ever year in NY at the Capital !!!! Also seen Gov'tMule many times around the Boston area, love the Orpheum!! They sounded so good!! RIP Greg Allman & Dicky Betts
@@deborabaranowski4565 had to check there chica , cuz you had me worried , but dickey still alive and kickin
So awesome! Brings tears to my eyes. Was a kid in east village at the time of this show. Missed these Filmore shows but was fortunate to see this Allman Bros. Band in Central Park and tru to what all say who have ever seen this band, it was one of the GREATEST live performances I have EVER witnessed! Incredible! Love Brother Duane, Greg, Dickie, Berry, Butch and J Johnny!
I love this band. Wish Duane's career wasn't so short. Very sad. Legends never die though!
Duane is such a legend , something very mysterious about his short career I wish I could find out more about him
Remember diane played lead on Layla showed Eric Clapton how goodie was
Rest in Peace Gregg. You will be dearly missed.
Rest in peace Greg abd Duane
@@carolemeador3257 And Barry and Butch.
I so much wanted to go to this concert but my mom would have none of it. She's like "Jesus you won't even be 2yrs old until December", you are not going to some rock concert. "And especially not some long hair southern hippy boy rock concert".I haven't spoken to her since.
Duane and Dickey were a perfect guitar duo. They still are and always will be thanks to videos like this and all the music they recorded and played together. 🎸
crazy to think it's been almost a half century since this performance kinda sad how quickly time goes by in the end only the memory will remain a dream within a dream... rest in peace Skydog! trucks as good as he is does not come close just listen to the soulful mournful cry of that Les Paul!! gives me chills
Well put
Wow.. Duane was kickin' it. It was awesome to "see" this show which I've heard countless times, as a teenager growing up in a place where you'd be likely to actually walk into your favorite bar and see Dicky or Gregg or Butch.
+Pati Beardsley Where was that? Macon ? Atlanta? Just wondering, not trying to put you on the spot, I only ask because I live in Daytona and saw Duane & Greg in places here before they moved to Georgia. By Butch I think you are talking of the trucks family? I envy you.
wakin up with the blues . whew . i been there more than once . its amazing how hope springs eternal in the human heart and great musicians can give us the soundtrack of our lives over and over . rare is right . real stars . that fall to earth! Saw them in 1971 . whew . still own the cassette . live at the fillmore . whew
After I moved to Tennessee I found out they went to either Jr. high or high school or both right up the road and they used to practice in a garage about 5 miles away from where I lived. WOW. Well as smooth as their sound became through time, I can guarantee it wasn't wasted time. And to know that 49 1/2 years later I can watch them play Fillmore East Live and sit on the front row because of the internet blows me away! Thanks Guys, forever.
Awesome stuff! I was lucky enough to catch the original ABB many times in NOLA at The Warehouse, Tulane, the Fly at Audubon Park, etc ... and later at City Park, and a road trip to Watkins Glen ... still get goosebumps thinking about those Warehouse shows on NYE ... RIP Duane, Berry and Butch
I have to say that The Allman Brothers Band was before my time, but I never realized just how loaded with talent this band was.
many of the concerts in the late 60's and early 70's got filmed as cheaply as possible. This is good quality by 48 year old standards and the audio is great. I love it.
The great Duane left us way too soon. Imagine what they could have achieved in the 1970's if he had lived.
True, however following the death of Duane Allman the bands next two records went to No. 7 and No. 1. They carried on. Duane Allman is the greatest musician in history. That said, had he lived would the Allan Brothers conquered the world? Can't say.
American Led Zeppelin
R.I.P. Gregg Allman.Thank You for the amazing music. May you you jam with Duane,Butch and Barry somewhere above in the Blue Sky.
