I got the pleasure of seeing them in my hometown of Memphis @ Beale Street Musicfest in 2007. Anyways, I was extremely close to Gregg and yelled "Play Dreams!!!" several times. The next song he played was Dreams. I lost my shit.
@@bobcorbin3294 MH version is actually closer to Buddy Miles' cover, from a year after the Allmans released this. Miles changed the song radically, way more funk than gospel/blues.
@@raymondtinsley1440 No joke. Not "better", different. And I like both, but I like Danny Joe's a little more. This is a little farther down on my PERSONAL list of favorite AB songs.
If you get a chance to to watch the documentary Muscle Shoals, Greg, before he passed, is in it for a bit talking about Duane, and all these years Duane has been gone you still hear the love in Greg's voice when speaking about him. RIP to both. The doc is great because it tells the story about amount of hits that came out of that studio and town, from Ella James to the Rolling Stones. Well worth a watch.
@@missbelled6700 With most bands I tend to pick the sound apart,but with the original Allman Brothers Band,I feel like everybody is part of the same entity.
My friend, when Brother Duane Allman hits that little bit of feed back noise in the middle of his solo, while he's putting on his glass slide, then picks up the solo with even more soul than before,, maaan..... That hits me right in the heart every damn time... thank you for doing this one. It really means something to me, personally. I'm glad you got to enjoy it.
Isn't it amazing that two different artists can take the same song and put their own spin on it! Both were great selections and thank you thank you thank you for sharing good music!
Thanks for checking this out, man. This is like floating in space. Duane has such great guitar tone. Not of this earth at times. One of the most original slide guitar players.
Do love that you did this dual comparison straight away, so often I'll watch a reaction video and one of the first things I'm thinkin': Didja hear the original/studio/amazing cover? ya gotta! and here it is, you did it. THANX!
Check out Blue Sky by the ABB-something a little different then their usual blues oriented tunes. Listening to the song you can visualize the title. A happy feeling song. Two great guitar solos by two of the greats. Duane Allman and Dickie Betts.
Great stuff. My second or third favourite band. They were definitely influenced by gospel and soul and weren't reluctant to admit it. Greg Allman's previous band, The Hourglass were basically a soul band.
I think this was Gregg's first original tune he brought when they formed the Allman Brothers Band. This recording is definitely on my desert island mix. I suspect it was influenced by Take Five by Dave Brubeck.
Two different time signatures...ABB in 3/4 and MH in 4/4. Gives such a different feel. As someone mentioned below, MH version is more rocking. ABBs version is just Southern sittin' on the front porch on a lazy summer afternoon and sipping a cold one.
Wow I'm a southern rock hillbilly, but I never put 2 and 2 together that my old Molly hatchet LP had this as a cover I love the Allman Brothers version guess I'll check out the other video
Love this song and love this band! The song is cool and smooth yet haunting at the same time. I don't know if you have checked out Donovan yet. Season of the witch and Hurdy Gurdy Man two excellent choices. Jimmy Page plays guitar on Hurdy Gurdy Man. ✌
Duane played with lots of peeps. Check out Derek & the Domino's, Lala & Other Assorted Love Songs. He and Clapton collaborated on a "few" songs. Kamal aka my man, take your pick to react.
Check out Wilson Pickett s cover of Hey Jude with Duane on guitar. Guitar solos were not normally a thing on soul records... When Clapton heard it he went to meet Duane and they ended up doing Layla. Edit:. My bad, I see you've done it already.
Hey, I mentioned you in a couple of tweets with suggestions but I don't know if you saw them. 1st was 'Electric Love' by Reignwolf but the Jet City Stream live version. Jordan Cook is one of the best musicians out there - we're talking one-handed guitar playing whilst singing and playing a full drum kit whilst playing the guitar at the same time; the guy's insane! 2nd was 'Barton Hollow' by The Civil Wars - several great live versions out there. 3rd was 'To The Light' by Newton Faulkner - again, I would suggest a live version to appreciate the skill of this guy!
This is a great and of course the original version of this song but I myself prefer Molly Hatchet's version because it's more up beat and driven! It seems to fit the lyrics much better!
I visited the exact spot he died > in GA. I also visited the apartment he lived in, in Macon GA. Im a better bass player for it. OHHHH Lord. Thats what music does to you. I love Diana Ross too. And the Gap Band. And Erik B and Rakim. So WHAAATTTTTTTTT :D
Not just that his voice is bluesy, but this happened to him so it's his heart pouring out his story through his voice & that Hammond B3 organ. #RIP Brother Gregg.....
Brother Jamel, for the millionth time. check out The Allman Brothers Ain't Wasting Time No More! It could be your damn theme song, right along side Listen To The Music!
It comes from a tombstone! They use to go to a cemetery and smoke(I'm sure) and play there too. And they named that rift from a Tombstone there. That's just real cool I think.I can relate to that...cant get enough of these dudes. They were all great together. 🎸❤🎸Elizabeth Reed!🎶🎵🎶
The very first song on that album, "So What", could be the greatest first song to set up the rest of the songs on a studio jazz recording. Love me some Miles all through the years. 👍🏻✌🏼💯
Kind Of Blue was a big influence on The Allman Brothers Band. The liner notes of the album, written by critic Robert Palmer, discuss this at length. Kind of Blue by Robert Palmer: "Playing gigs at the Fillmore East during the sixties made it easier for you to get in and catch other bands, even if tickets were sold out. As a young saxophonist in a rock band, I played there several times and attended numerous concerts; the one group I never missed (unless I had to be on the road) was the Allman Brothers Band. More specifically, I went to see their guitarist, Duane Allman, the only "rock" guitarist I had heard up to that point who could solo on a one-chord vamp for as long as half an hour or more, and not only avoid boring you but keep you absolutely riveted. Duane was a rare melodist and a dedicated student of music who was never evasive about the sources of his inspiration. "You know," he told me one night after soaring for hours on wings of lyrical song, "that kind of playing comes from Miles and Coltrane, and particularly Kind Of Blue. I've listened to that album so many times that for the past couple of years, I haven't hardly listened to anything else." Earlier, I'd met Duane and his brother Gregg when they had a teenage band called the Hourglass. One day I'd played Duane a copy of Coltrane's Olé, an album recorded a little more than a year after Kind Of Blue but still heavily indebted to it. He was evidently fascinated; but a mere three or four years later, at the Fillmore, I heard a musician who'd grown in ways I never could have imagined. It's rare to see a musician grow that spectacularly, that fast; I'm not sure there's any guitarist who's come along since Duane's early death on the highway who has been able to sustain improvisation of such lyric beauty and epic expanse. But the influence of Kind Of Blue, even to the point of becoming a kind of obsession, wasn't unusual at all; it was highly characteristic of musicians of our generation, mine and Duane's. Of course, listening to an album isn't going to turn anyone into a genius; you can't get more out of the experience than you're capable of bringing to it. Duane brought something special, even unique to the table, but it seemed that everyone was sharing the meal. This was true among musicians categorized as "rock" or "pop" as well as among those labeled "jazz." In fact, the influence of Kind Of Blue has been so widespread and long-lasting, it's doubtful that anyone has yet grasped its ultimate dimensions. We know Kind Of Blue is a great and eminently listenable jazz album, "one of the most important, as well as sublimely beautiful albums in the history of jazz" in the words of Miles biographer Eric Nisenson. But there is more to it than that..."
Honestly, when I put on Live at Fillmore East I usually just let the whole thing roll. Just an awesome live recording that kind of sums up The Allman Brothers.
Allman Bros. is one of the few bands I never saw live that I would have loved to see. Such a great band, and they were so young for such an accomplished band! Thanks, Jamel!
Saw The Allman Brothers Band, Grateful Dead and The Band at Watkins Glen, NY, July, 1973. Six hundred thousand of us jam packed into the raceway. What a time we all had!
This is my favorite Allman Brothers blues classic. The guitar solo vibrates into my chest every time I hear the song. Never get tired of it. This kind of music is not replicated anymore. Gives me the blues👍😉🙂😷
I hope Jamel reacts to Stormy Monday from Live at Fillmore East. It's a cover done by at least a dozen artists but the Allman Brothers version is by far my favorite.
In all my years of listening to both versions of this song, I never realized they were the same. Such different feels. I love the Molly Hatchet version for the rich sound in the instrumentation. Always been a treat to my ears. The Allman Brothers version captures more of the feeling in the lyrics. Thanks Jamal for all you do and teaching an old Deadhead new musical connections.
The Allmans did this in 3/4time..lends a certain feel...molly hatchet did a great job in 4/4 time..a nice interpretation..the Allmans original still moves me more..appreciation for both!!
I feel a right idiot now. Just finished watching the Molly Hatchett reaction where I commented that the Allman Brothers did this song. Then I scroll down and BAM!!! there it is. 😂
Their music has stood the test of time because they were serious musicians, with one hell of a lead singer. Nobody could bring it like this band. No running around stage, crazy light shows or costumes. They didn’t need it. Head and shoulders above with their mix of blues, jazz, country, gospel, etc. Their music brings joy to my life.❤️🎼🎸
Always SO happy to be notified that you're doing another Allman Brothers reaction. And this is a great one. Then again, they ALL are, aren't they? TY for the reaction, loved your comments.
Story goes that Duane was getting frustrated trying to play a solo for this one, so he kicked everybody out of the recording room, turned the lights off, and played this solo, bringing everybody watching and listening to tears with its beauty.
It's true. Did you read "One Way Out" by Alan Paul? Amazing book and that's covered! He also wrote a great book about Stevie Ray Vaughan called "Texas Flood". I highly recommend both!
@@Tracer9GTRider8 haven't read that one, but I read Galadrielle's book about him. I don't remember if that story was in there. Also an important note to those that may not have the ear for it, the first portion of the solo is played fretted while the second is played with a slide. Great player!
@@adamkenney6932 Yeah he was amazing! I think any Allman's fan would love this book. It's all quotes taken from interviews from the people who were there. Check it out on Amazon. I can't adequately describe it, but it's not some author droning on and on.
@@adamkenney6932 i know folks don't like him much but you have to listen to how Dickey Betts fits in there. They alternated solos almost seamlessly.....
Can't beat brother Duane on slide, and Gregg has the best blues voice ever IMHO. When the Molly hatchet version came out I kind of thought of it as a novelty but it grew on me and I appreciate that one too.
Now that’s what I’m talking about. I believe Gregg is waking up with the blues when I hear this version. Ethereal. Thanks for reacting to this version after Molly Hatchets. As much as I appreciate their version and the tribute, I will always enjoy the Allmans more.
Duane got his start here in Muscle Shoals. GREGG came back to Muscle Shoals as his life was coming to an end. His final album, Southern Blood, was recorded in Muscle Shoals at Legendary Fame Studios with the Great Rick Hall Producing. Gregg was in terrible health but battled to the end. He passed away after after completing the the final Allman Brothers album, Southern Blood, at the Studio where Duane first made his mark, closing The Circle forever. Both Fame and Muscle Shoals Sound are part MUSEUMS and part working Studios . Visitors are welcome at both. So come for the tours and feel the vibe. And when visiting Muscle Shoals Sound, don't let Ronnie scare you away. He's haunted the Studio since October of 1977.

I agree with your comparison of the 2. Enjoy what you do sir. I hope you keep it up.
I got the pleasure of seeing them in my hometown of Memphis @ Beale Street Musicfest in 2007. Anyways, I was extremely close to Gregg and yelled "Play Dreams!!!" several times. The next song he played was Dreams. I lost my shit.
I love hearing a cover and an original back to back! You should do it more often.
I love playing people The Supremes 'Where Did Our Love Go' and the hitting them with the Donnie Elbert cover which is better.
I concur! I love doing that. I did it today with "From A Jack To A King."
Molly Hatchet version is a pale comparison to the original plus Molly Hatchet can't play in 6/8 time they have to play it in 4/4
@@bobcorbin3294 MH version is actually closer to Buddy Miles' cover, from a year after the Allmans released this. Miles changed the song radically, way more funk than gospel/blues.
There is nothing like the the Allman Brothers! They are truly one of a kind. RIP Gregg, Duane, Barry and Butch. Gone but never forgotten.
Absolute CLASSIC!!! Greg Allman providing the soul with his voice and organ playing...
The Allman Brothers sound is like a rushing mountain stream in full spring flood.
Good take
Great analogy brother
It's so sad. Really,,
👉ruclips.net/video/TWkVISZRLeY/видео.html
It reminds me of driving through the forest along the Willamette River. I always listen to Allman Brothers on that route.✌🏻
Nothing like them really. Many southern greats, but none could match the brothers and Dicky Betts!
Gregg Allman was like 20 or 21 when this was recorded... Buddy Miles covered this too, and that's where Molly Hatchet got most of their arrangement.
Didn't know that. Will have to check it out. This is probably my favorite Allman Brothers song.
I left a link to a Buddy Miles live version back on the Molly Hatchett reaction.
My favourite Allman song ever,I cant believe some jokers think molly Hatcher version is better
@@raymondtinsley1440 No joke. Not "better", different. And I like both, but I like Danny Joe's a little more. This is a little farther down on my PERSONAL list of favorite AB songs.
The only version I knew was Buddy Miles🤔
This is awesome to hear!!
Love it😎
No one played quite like Duane Allman. "That blues hittin yer soul" is both Gregg's voice and Duane's guitar.
They were epic together. Just unreal

@@bluetopguitar1104 Live version from Stonybrook shortly before Duane died is amazing. Duane's solo is off the charts ridiculous.

That hits me right in the heart every damn time... thank you for doing this one. It really means something to me, personally. I'm glad you got to enjoy it.
My favorite part of that solo is that you can also hear the Fret noise
One of my fav Allman tracks!! Absolutely love Gregg's voice and organ on this one and, well...Duane!! RIP Gregg and Skydog!!
I’ve been listening to this since the early 70’s and every time I hear it I get shivers right through me. Amazing.
EXCELLENT CHOICE! One of my favorite bands ever! Love the cover and original idea!!😊😊🙌💕
I love listening to music from my youth with Jamel. Always lifts me up when I need it.
Gregg wrote the lyrics with the Hammond Organ; the band developed the arrangement around the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Isn't it amazing that two different artists can take the same song and put their own spin on it! Both were great selections and thank you thank you thank you for sharing good music!
One of my all time favorites...Thank you sir, You made my day..
Jamel, you will love The Allman Brothers...Midnight Rider
It's a total MASTERPIECE
JAMEL DON'T YOU EVER THINK OF GOIN AWAY..YOU ARE AMAZING,,💘 TO YOU...
That is a Hammond B3 with a Leslie cabinet speaker. Very popular back when. Steve Windwood played that also.
Top shelf stuff here. Thanks buddy.
Nice to cover the back story.
Allman Bros! Was hoping you’d do this one too. 😅
Thanks for checking this out, man. This is like floating in space. Duane has such great guitar tone. Not of this earth at times. One of the most original slide guitar players.
The loss of Duane Allman robbed us of so much good music.
You are always great and unbiased in your reviews, Regardless of race, color or creed
Now Brother, you can say, you're a southern rock lover too!
Imagine, if you will, being 17 when this came out...and it Never gets old....Thanks for doing this, Thanks for All You do, keep on!

Allman Bros. and Molly Hatchet,,,,,no other bands could do this song right,,,,,,,,l dont know which version l like better,,both are fanfukintastic

Molly Hatchet's version is good - the original ABB version is great. Brother Gregg was only 21 when he wrote and sang this.
Allman Brothers is more bluesy and better.
Great song but I like the Molly Hatchet much more. I like the more rocking version more but do like them both.
If you're going to do this song then you have to do the best version, the one done by Molly Hatchet
It's also incredible to me to think about the amount of Music Duane Allman put out, knowing that he died at age 24. #RIP
That's incredible. He was just a kid..
I visited the exact spot he died > in GA. I also visited the apartment he lived in, in Macon GA. Im a better bass player for it. OHHHH Lord. Thats what music does to you. I love Diana Ross too. And the Gap Band. And Erik B and Rakim. So WHAAATTTTTTTTT :D
Its a shame to think of how much better he woulda got
Play like that, has an old soul from another life.
Not just that his voice is bluesy, but this happened to him so it's his heart pouring out his story through his voice & that Hammond B3 organ. #RIP Brother Gregg.....
Check out "Jessica" by Allman Brothers. It's instrumental only, but it really rocks!

Hey, Jamel, I'm not sure why this came to mind, but I'd love you to share some MILES DAVIS from his KIND OF BLUE album. Stunning jazz compositions.
The very first song on that album, "So What", could be the greatest first song to set up the rest of the songs on a studio jazz recording. Love me some Miles all through the years. 👍🏻✌🏼💯

Jamel, you would love the ABB's "Revival" - it will get you dancing - and the message is one you would love.
Revival very well might be the only well known Brothers tune Jamal HASNT done.
First heard "Revival" so long ago in Piedmont Park. Captures the spirit of those days! We were stardust - we were golden.
Yes! "Revival" was the first ABB song I ever heard. Within 20 seconds of hitting play I became a die hard fan.

I think you would really enjoy their song, 'Melissa'. (These guys were so young when they recorded this album damn.)
I feel a right idiot now. Just finished watching the Molly Hatchett reaction where I commented that the Allman Brothers did this song. Then I scroll down and BAM!!! there it is. 😂
Please react to “The Ballad of Curtis Loew”
By Lynyrd Skynyrd
Their music has stood the test of time because they were serious musicians, with one hell of a lead singer. Nobody could bring it like this band. No running around stage, crazy light shows or costumes. They didn’t need it. Head and shoulders above with their mix of blues, jazz, country, gospel, etc. Their music brings joy to my life.❤️🎼🎸
So glad you came back to them. Always a great time.
Depends on my mood the one i listen to 😎 love booth versions, they are completely different experiences.
TOTALLY agree!
One of the best albums ever was Gregg Allman’s Laid Back. Multicolored Lady and Queen of Hearts are sublime 🥰
Allman brothers gave us southern rock. Blues, soul and a hint of gospel. Awesome ☮️
Jacksonville
That Hammond B3 Organ is the staple of 70's rock Jamal.
Gregg wrote this and his organ and bluesy voice along with Duane..Dickey...Berry..Butch and Jaimoe..the best damn band in the land!!👍✌
Amen sister!
"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is one of the best!
"" TAKE ME TO THE RIVER "" by TALKING HEADS AND AL GREEN both GREAT !!!!
Gregg Allman may be one of the most under-acknowledged singers that I know. And yet he is one of the most soulful.
Always SO happy to be notified that you're doing another Allman Brothers reaction. And this is a great one. Then again, they ALL are, aren't they? TY for the reaction, loved your comments.
Right at 5:17 is when Duane Allman switches to the slide guitar. An incredible song from an incredible band. Great pick Jamel!!
Story goes that Duane was getting frustrated trying to play a solo for this one, so he kicked everybody out of the recording room, turned the lights off, and played this solo, bringing everybody watching and listening to tears with its beauty.
It's true. Did you read "One Way Out" by Alan Paul? Amazing book and that's covered! He also wrote a great book about Stevie Ray Vaughan called "Texas Flood". I highly recommend both!
@@Tracer9GTRider8 haven't read that one, but I read Galadrielle's book about him. I don't remember if that story was in there.
Also an important note to those that may not have the ear for it, the first portion of the solo is played fretted while the second is played with a slide. Great player!
@@adamkenney6932 Yeah he was amazing! I think any Allman's fan would love this book. It's all quotes taken from interviews from the people who were there. Check it out on Amazon. I can't adequately describe it, but it's not some author droning on and on.
@@adamkenney6932 i know folks don't like him much but you have to listen to how Dickey Betts fits in there. They alternated solos almost seamlessly.....
Tell ya what though, he really played his solos on Fillmore East without much difficulty of thought. He just blew it up.
Can't beat brother Duane on slide, and Gregg has the best blues voice ever IMHO.
When the Molly hatchet version came out I kind of thought of it as a novelty but it grew on me and I appreciate that one too.
Greg Allman is singing like that and he hadn't even turned 20 years old. Lot of soul for a 19 year old.
If I got stoned I pick this version. If I was driving TO a party I'd pick the Molly Hatchet version... Very different vibes.
Allmans LSD... Hatchet whisky and rock n' roll
My favorite band of all time. You seem to be such a kind person. God bless you.
Now that’s what I’m talking about. I believe Gregg is waking up with the blues when I hear this version. Ethereal. Thanks for reacting to this version after Molly Hatchets. As much as I appreciate their version and the tribute, I will always enjoy the Allmans more.
Duane got his start here in Muscle Shoals. GREGG came back to Muscle Shoals as his life was coming to an end. His final album, Southern Blood, was recorded in Muscle Shoals at Legendary Fame Studios with the Great Rick Hall Producing. Gregg was in terrible health but battled to the end. He passed away after after completing the the final Allman Brothers album, Southern Blood, at the Studio where Duane first made his mark, closing The Circle forever.
Both Fame and Muscle Shoals Sound are part MUSEUMS and part working Studios . Visitors are welcome at both. So come for the tours and feel the vibe. And when visiting Muscle Shoals Sound, don't let Ronnie scare you away. He's haunted the Studio since October of 1977.
