Duane died in 1971 in a motorcycle accident in Macon Georgia. A year later in November 1972,their bass player Berry Oakley also died in a motorcycle accident a block away from where Duane died. They had several guitar players over the years Dickie Betts played with them until about 2000. The last 2 guitarist until their end were Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes, who are both great guitarists.
I joined the Air Force because of the Allman Brothers, I had just graduated high School in 1980, and had tickets to their concert, my boss at Wendy's called me to work, said nope,going to hear Whipping post, he said you don't come in your fired, 3 days later I joined the Air Force and stayed in for 20 years, best decision I ever made
I've made it clear to my family and friends that when I leave this world, this song is to be played at my funeral. If it's not I'ma haunt everybody responsible. 😂🤘✌️❤️
Allman Brothers are for my money, lb for lb greatest band of all time. And they've produced/featured four of the greatest guitarists of all time as regulars in the band. Duane Allman, Derek Trucks, Dickie Betts, and Warren Haynes. Man I love this band.
In the South, we really are blessed to have had so many great influences to our music! I'm a Southern Rock guy! I love the Blues! Love old Country Music! Love old Rock and Roll! love Soul! Blended all together, it's the greatest sound ever!
Used to ride around in my jeep..on backwoods trails..with my future wife..in the mountains of north and south carolina..in my 20s..listening to this..63 year old former marine from south carolina.
I had to come listen to you two today after hearing of the passing of Dickey Betts. I love your reactions and am so glad you found this band. I grew up with them next door to my older sisters house in Macon. Jaimoe is the last man standing from the original band.
The guitarists on this song are Dickey Betts and Warren Haynes. Haynes is also the author of this song. If you guys are enjoying the Allman Brothers, you should also try Haynes’s other band, Government Mule. If the two drummer thing impresses you, also try out the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Guitarist Derek Trucks was a member of the Allman Brothers from 1999 - 2014 and was also Allman drummer Butch Trucks’s nephew. Widely considered to be the best living guitarist, Derek Trucks has, more than anyone else carried on the spirit of the Allman Brothers with Tedeschi Trucks Band. It also features his wife, Susan Tedeschi, Whois an amazing vocalist as well as two drummers. Also, you have to do the Grateful Dead. The Allmans and the Dead were two sides of the same coin.
@@sblair6362 that’s not accurate. Warren wrote Soulshine in the 80s while he was a staff songwriter in Nashville. This was before he was associated with Gregg. It was Gregg’s suggestion the Allman Brothers record it though. He had heard Larry NcCay’s version, liked it a lot, and thought it would be a good fit for the ABB.
@@andyo3689 People tend to forget that Tedeschi is a killer guitarist as well as vocalist. She just steps back with the TDB most times because of (husband) Derek's talent level. T
This song was written and recorded long after Duane Allman died. The guitars players are founding member Dickey Betts and Warren Haynes who wrote the song. Gregg Allman is singing and playing the Hammond Organ.
Much respect guys for being open minded enough to explore different genres of music and seeing that it can be great no matter what your community says about it. These bands back in the day were real musicians and not studio creations. Glad I found your channel!
Sorry for your loss. The song was written by Warren Haynes. He played guitar in the band but has his own band called Gov't Mule. Check them out . Your mind will be blown!
The Allman Brothers are my favorite band of all time. They became popular when I was in high school! The deaths of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley were devastating. The musicians who came in later were as awesome as the original musicians!
The story I've heard is that Herbie Mann was on his apartment balcony listening to the Allman Brothers playing in NYC's Central Park, rushed down to meet Duane, asked him to play on his next album.
The Allman Bros have been around about 40 years in various instantiations….there isa reason why they are so long lived…..I am sorry for your loss. May this great music soothe your soul…..
I can imagine Gregg walking into a deep Southern Baptist Church on a Sunday morning, or during a funeral, and asking the organist if he could play something, and belt this one out!
Sorry for you loss guys. This is one of my all time favourite songs. Warren Haynes wrote the lyrics to this song, band member and other lead guitar player in the song. And he is still touring. Amazing Thank you
Hey guys, I love seeing how much you love having your mind blown by insanely incredible old music rooted in the blues and soul. How about trying on some blue eyed soul from the mid 60s. The Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Got That Love’n Feeling.”
The version of this Govt Mule’s live Album ‘With a Little Help From My Friends’ is the best version of this I’ve ever heard. Worth checking out that version
I'm very sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for the reaction and I'm very glad that this one seemed to lift your spirits. A couple of uplifting songs from the original version of the ABB that I really think you'd appreciate are "Revival" and "Blue Sky". The topper for me is "Jessica". None of these are overtly religious, but to me they are definitely spiritual and lift me up every time I hear them. BTW, the guitarists in this studio version of the song are Dickey Betts, an original member, and Warren Haynes, who joined the band in 1989. Hang in there guys.
I know yall are liking the southern rock. Take a listen to The Lynyrd Skynyrd band. Freebird live from Oakland in 1977 or Knebworth in '76. You will be blown away. I'm enjoying the videos. Thank you for posting
You guys really need to get into... at the Filmore East to hear Duane. ...this is Warren Hanes Who wrote the song on guitar and Dickie Betts a founding member on the other guitar. This is 1990s Incarnation of band where Duane passed away in 1971.... There is a number of different incarnations of the band And all of them are good.
I just discovered your reactions. You guys are spot on with your commentary. I've learned so much from you about musical groups I followed in real time...Allman Brothers and Steely Dan... I look forward to learning more.
Sad about your friend. Prayers. Wonderful song guys! Great choice. You're talking Southern Rock, Tenn, Fla. and the Tres Hombres from Texas. Rock on Bro's you rolling down that highway 41!
I really love your appreciation of my favorite band. You offer up complex, comprehensive reactions to everything you review. I respect and apprecciate y'all. The best reactors out there, by far! Rock on.
Firstly, very sorry for your loss....🙏.........Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident.... he slammed into a truck carrying Georgia peaches. Later, The Allman Brother's Band wrote one of their best albums titled "Eat a Peach" in Duane's memory......✌😎
Gentlemen sorry to hear about your friend, I know all to well. Allman Brothers Band were together from 69 to 2014 45 years Gregg Allman, one of the most soulful voices in rock and blues Dickey Betts original Guitarist along with leader Duane Allman also sings several songs which are also very good such as Crazy Love-Blue Sky for example. Soulshine was written Warren Haynes who joined AAB and was active Guitarist for last 25 years For more Gregg singing check out Statesboro Blues. And Whipping Post which is a must. Several other fantastic southern rock bands to jam with. PEACE
Sorry for y'alls lose and 🙏 prayers sent ! The Allman Brothers were thee originators of the southern rock music ! You definitely have to check out the RUclips documentary about muscle shoals and its influence on so many bands and songs that originally came outta muscle shoals!
That documentary is amazing! It's a must for any music lover. The sound that came out of Muscle Shoals is the basis for so many artists and sounds. It created music and musicians. Please think about watching it.
Love the song, that song has pulled me out of some dark dark places many nights in a row, it's cock blues Southern blues The Allman Brothers are considered southern rock as a whole but they also play the blues love that song thank you so much yes I am sorry for your loss at the same time that song is so powerful thank you
So sorry for your loss but like I alway say Music can help you through most situations all you have to do is just sit back and listen, I am glad this song is helping you feel some better .
This song was written by Warren Haynes. You need to check him out with his band Government Mule. There is also a great video of Warren sitting in with the Dave Mathew’s Band in Central Park playing Noel Young’s tune Cortez the Killer. You can’t go wrong with any version of the Allman Brothers..
The Allman Brothers Band released a box set in the late 80s that got people re-interested in the band. Gregg got the boys back together and were touring again. In 1994, they released their first studio album in years, "Where It All Begins." It was a triumphant return with many great tracks. It's so good that it is rated on par with the ABB's best albums. Check the whole album out.
God bless you guys you are the coolest dudes on Utube my name is scott I’m from Detroit they call me Scotty Ray I pattern myself after Stevie Ray and Dickie Betts from the Allman Brothers I’m 65 years old I’ve been listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan since he came out and he’s had a great influence on me and yes I have a Stratocaster like his that I customized and I was I can say is I appreciate every word you guys say bless you
So sorry to hear about your friend..you picked a good one though for a sad day. The 2nd guitar player is the great Dickey Betts who is one of only 2 band members still alive the other one is drummer Jaimoe..Thanks for this..I never get enough of the Brothers..👍✌️
Technical note. The picture of the band shown is not the same band who wrote and played this song. The picture shows the original ABB before 1971 when Skydog and Berry were still alive. Soulshine was written in 1994 by Lead guitarist Warren Haynes and played by him. Dickie Betts was probably the second guitarist.

That is such an American story that I can’t even handle it. Thank you for your service and for your story. Everything is connected. ❤❤❤
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do 😊
I've made it clear to my family and friends that when I leave this world, this song is to be played at my funeral. If it's not I'ma haunt everybody responsible. 😂🤘✌️❤️
This and Brain Damage / Eclipse by Pink Floyd.
Handsome Jack, will be happy to see you! LOL! Seriously though, great choice!

Allman Brothers are for my money, lb for lb greatest band of all time. And they've produced/featured four of the greatest guitarists of all time as regulars in the band. Duane Allman, Derek Trucks, Dickie Betts, and Warren Haynes. Man I love this band.

Cheers!
🍄🌲🍄✨💥🌈
I'm so sorry that you lost a friend. I only hope that this song lifts your spirits for a bit.
Thank you so much!!
The most underrated band in history.
Southern rock is a mix of rock, country, blues, jazz, r&b, bluegrass, gospel, folk, etc...that's what makes it so engaging and expressive.
In the South, we really are blessed to have had so many great influences to our music! I'm a Southern Rock guy! I love the Blues! Love old Country Music! Love old Rock and Roll! love Soul! Blended all together, it's the greatest sound ever!
I suspect you guys are going to LOVE The Allman Brothers, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"...
The live version from the Fillmore is incredible.
I think that will be the next Allman reaction we do.
Just remember gentleman for every loss there is always a new beginning!!!!
“If there’s a rock and roll heaven you know they got a hell of a band “ RIP DB
Used to ride around in my jeep..on backwoods trails..with my future wife..in the mountains of north and south carolina..in my 20s..listening to this..63 year old former marine from south carolina.
Same here, from SC and rode all the backwoods with this music playing
No sir! You are a Marine! Thank you!
I had to come listen to you two today after hearing of the passing of Dickey Betts. I love your reactions and am so glad you found this band. I grew up with them next door to my older sisters house in Macon. Jaimoe is the last man standing from the original band.

Tedeschi Trucks Band is BADASS. They are also contemporary a modern group that knows how to play the music of back then
Gregg & Haynes together wrote this touching tune ❤

The first time I heard this song was Gov't Mule version. Warren singing sounds close to Gregg.
@@joeking6763 Warren is the one who wrote this song, he wanted to record it with the Allman Bros, and he wanted Gregg to do the vocals.
lyrics and music to lift the spirits
Much respect guys for being open minded enough to explore different genres of music and seeing that it can be great no matter what your community says about it. These bands back in the day were real musicians and not studio creations. Glad I found your channel!
Good music, good lyrics will always touch the soul in a good way
So sorry for your loss. This song always brings a smile to me, I’m glad it did to you guys as well. ❤
So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Condolences to both of you~

Sorry for your loss. The song was written by Warren Haynes. He played guitar in the band but has his own band called Gov't Mule. Check them out . Your mind will be blown!

Thank You two. Best to keep active, keep moving and you guys honored your friend through your review.
I know your friend is smiling over this.
Thank you!!
This one gets you right where you live !!!! ✌✌✌
The Allman Brothers are my favorite band of all time. They became popular when I was in high school! The deaths of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley were devastating. The musicians who came in later were as awesome as the original musicians!
Before his passing, Duane went on to work with legendary jazz flautist Herbie Mann and many other artists.
My condolences Gentlemen.
Thank you so much.
The story I've heard is that Herbie Mann was on his apartment balcony listening to the Allman Brothers playing in NYC's Central Park, rushed down to meet Duane, asked him to play on his next album.
Another suggestion DREAMS, WHIPPING POST, NO WAY OUT, GOOD CLEAN FUN, STORMY MONDAY...the best southern rock ban ever,,
The Allman Bros have been around about 40 years in various instantiations….there isa reason why they are so long lived…..I am sorry for your loss. May this great music soothe your soul…..
Thank you so much!!
Greg And The Band were full of soul, blues and southern rock combined!I am sorry for your loss!☮️😢
Thank you!!
I can imagine Gregg walking into a deep Southern Baptist Church on a Sunday morning, or during a funeral, and asking the organist if he could play something, and belt this one out!
Well the original members of the are all together hallelujah peace and love
Check out Stormy Monday from their Fillmore East Album….straight up church blues ✌️🙏
100% Filmore East, Stormy Monday!
It is amazing how God will touch you when you need him most and through such unforeseen methods. May god bring you peace.
🙏🏿
Dickie betts is the other guitarist and he sings a lot of the allman brothers music as well.
Sorry for you loss guys. This is one of my all time favourite songs. Warren Haynes wrote the lyrics to this song, band member and other lead guitar player in the song. And he is still touring. Amazing
Thank you
The Allman Brothers the godfathers of southern rock, but they always remained blues centric with a rock feel!
Hey guys, I love seeing how much you love having your mind blown by insanely incredible old music rooted in the blues and soul. How about trying on some blue eyed soul from the mid 60s. The Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Got That Love’n Feeling.”
The Altman Bros. we're the real deal. Loved the blues. I got to see them twice, so good ❤️✌🏼☯️
In 1970 I saw the Allman Brothers Band with Dwayne at the Curtis Hickson Hall in Tampa FL.
Another classic ... With the Moonshine your Soul will definitely shine
The version of this Govt Mule’s live Album ‘With a Little Help From My Friends’ is the best version of this I’ve ever heard. Worth checking out that version
Dudes...loved. loved. Loved yalls reaction..keep em comin..keep the faith brothers....62 year old former marine from south carolina...
This came out in 1994, so the two guitarists were Dicky Betts and Warren Haynes. Haynes wrote this song .
I appreciate your love for music it has got me through some tuff times and I love your reactions and your honest reactions no bias.
My condolences for your loss. The Allman Brothers Band will help you forget for awhile. ☮🖤🤘
You guys are the best reaction duo. Between your actual music knowledge and your thoughtful intelligence. 💪🏻
This is the Southern Country of southern Rock and blues
I'm very sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for the reaction and I'm very glad that this one seemed to lift your spirits.

I was going to suggest, "Revival" as well. It's definitely a spirit-lifter...✌
Thank you!!
Yeah as you may or may not know Warren Haynes wrote Soulshine
Blue Sky is one of the 5 greatest songs ever written. My mind will never be changed on that.
It's Warren Hayes and Dickey Betts on guitars. Duane Allman had long since passed away.
I know yall are liking the southern rock. Take a listen to The Lynyrd Skynyrd band. Freebird live from Oakland in 1977 or Knebworth in '76. You will be blown away. I'm enjoying the videos. Thank you for posting

"Soulshine" was the nickname that Warren's Dad had given him.
The mellow guitar here is played by Warren, who wrote the song.
Warren is awesome.
My daughter and I danced to this at her wedding
Funny how songs sometime come around at just the right time.
Condolences for the loss of your friend…
Thank you so much!!
I'm so very sorry for your loss. We know they're are no words, just know we're praying for y'all.

Gotta check "Nobody Knows'' off of ''An Evening with The Allman Brothers Band First Set" , If you liked then with 2 drummers, you'll love them with 3!
Duane was deceased by the time this came out. Dicky Betts was one of the original guitarists along with Duane. The other guitarist is Warren Haynes
Great review of one of a few great American bands. Ya'll heard this song during a difficult time and it lifted your spirits.
Gentlemen sorry to hear about your friend, I know all to well.
Allman Brothers Band were together from 69 to 2014 45 years
Gregg Allman, one of the most soulful voices in rock and blues
Dickey Betts original Guitarist along with leader Duane Allman also sings several songs which are also very good such as Crazy Love-Blue Sky for example.
Soulshine was written Warren Haynes who joined AAB and was active Guitarist for last 25 years
For more Gregg singing check out Statesboro Blues. And Whipping Post which is a must. Several other fantastic southern rock bands to jam with. PEACE
The full moon was sparkling and bright on my way to work this AM. Then this song came on the radio. Best commute I've had in a long time!
The Gregg Allman band is very soulfull also, check them out....bless you both.
Guitarists are Dickie Betts along with Warren Haynes. Warren wrote the song too
If you want to hear some good Southern Rock check out some Marshall Tucker Band

Song was written by Allman guitarist Warren Haynes, who has also recorded this song with his own band Govt' Mule.
he was the guitar player at that time
@@sapadogstudios Dickie Betts was lead guy and Warren was 2nd guitar and slide until Dickie was fired.
@@xJRx77 they switched off playing lead and slide pretty evenly, saw them about 40 times, I even saw Duane but I was ten
That’s Mr.Dickie Betts on lead guitar along with Duane Allman
Nope. Duane was dead long before this song was recorded. Warren Haynes played lead, along with Dickey.
So sorry, my condolences.
God bless you guys you are the coolest dudes on Utube my name is scott I’m from Detroit they call me Scotty Ray I pattern myself after Stevie Ray and Dickie Betts from the Allman Brothers I’m 65 years old I’ve been listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan since he came out and he’s had a great influence on me and yes I have a Stratocaster like his that I customized and I was I can say is I appreciate every word you guys say bless you
Guys Jeff beck live a day in the life cover of the Beatles he’s amazing player just died suddenly Thursday
Warren Haynes wrote this and is playing guitar along with Derrick Trucks.
I've always thought that this would be an awesome song for a really good gospel choir to sing.
Sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss. Gov. Mule come to town? GO!
So sorry to hear about your friend..you picked a good one though for a sad day. The 2nd guitar player is the great Dickey Betts who is one of only 2 band members still alive the other one is drummer Jaimoe..Thanks for this..I never get enough of the Brothers..👍✌️
Thank you so much!!
I used to live in their house on orange terrace in Macon Ga
You gotta love southern rock
The twin leads of Duane Allman and Dicky Betts! It does not get better.
I agree with others. You should react to In Memory of Elizabeth Reed - from their live album Fillmore East. It’s fire! It’s an instrumental.
Warren Haynes is the guitarist. And he wrote soulshine.
❤ medicine music
More Allman Brothers coming this week!! Thanks for watching.
All Man's Brothers
Technical note. The picture of the band shown is not the same band who wrote and played this song. The picture shows the original ABB before 1971 when Skydog and Berry were still alive. Soulshine was written in 1994 by Lead guitarist Warren Haynes and played by him. Dickie Betts was probably the second guitarist.
This song is magical live! I hope you guys could cover Pale Horse Rider, by the Allman-Betts Band.
Ear candy. Sorry for your loss.
Let your soul shine... that should be the message of the day. ✌️
This is later in their career... Dicky Betts and Warren Haynes on Guitar.
