Gregg Allman **Was he a Mystery?? OR Just Misunderstood???

- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- His Ex Wife Cher said Gregg Allman "was a mystery to us all at times" And I think she might have been right. Gregg was a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band along with his older brother Duane. Gregg's vocals, songwriting and organ helped create the sound that would make the band a huge live performing act. They played to sellout crowds to the end! His life was troubled and he fell many times but kept on going until the end. This is a short documentary looking back to a small part of it. #allmanbrothersband #allmanbrothers #documentary #minidoc #southernrock

A mystery to all of us at times. Yes. I told him near the end of his life "I can't for the life of me figure out what makes you do the things you do." He was complex, with demons and mystery for sure. But first and foremost, deep down, kind. Once walking alone, just us, by the river in Baton Rouge a man approached us with a gun. "Give me all your money" he said. Gregg told me to walk away. I hesitated. He told me again, in that stern, no bs voice he sometimes used. As I walked away I heard him say to the man " how much you need brother?" And Gregg proceeded to hand the man a generous sum. This is who Gregg Allman was. We lived to see another day. I have never publicly told this story. Today, March 29, 2024, I do. There will never be another like him. Thanks for the laughs, love, memories, and #1, the incredible music. You are forever missed, by myself and the millions of friends and fans around the world. Past, present and future. Your legacy/music will live on forever. RIP sweet soul.
That was around 40 years ago. He got on the phone with Geri soon as we got back to the room. (for obvious reasons) and I got a lil' ass chewin' for wanting to "go for a walk!" lol.
Great story. Thanks for sharing this!
What a great video! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Amazing!
Gregg sang like he lived every raw soulful note singing it like he meant it just like his brother played. Truly authentic
i saw em in ftworth around mid seventies and gregg and cher were having troubles, she sat just behind the theater curtain near the organ and the were both crying their eyes out while he performed
A true natural talent. Even before I understood what real vocals are supposed to sound like I felt the power in that voice. Gave me chills.
“Live at the Fillmore East” is a musical masterpiece. If every new aspiring guitar player and vocalist learned that album note for note, the future of Rockin roll would be in great hands indeed.
absolutely
True 🎉
The Bible of Blues/Rock Guitar!
I try to get Elizabeth Reed note for note. It is intensely complex and so fun to try to keep up, but the jazzy jamming in You Don't Love Me is beyond my wildest reach. My favorite album of all time and that is a very crowded ballot.
I've been listening to Live At The Fillmore and Eat A Peach since the early seventies. I still love those albums and listen to them often.
I met Greg after a show in Cincinnati, very nice guy, down to earth. It was like talking to an old friend.
Are you from Cincinnati?
That's a amazing story and memory. I find myself drawn to him. Seems like a very real genuine person
I saw the ABB somewhere near 60 times. They were that good. When I was going to the shows, I said to my friends "I am going to see this as much as I can, it won't last forever." To this day I still say "Damn... I sure miss Gregg Allman." He had something I have not found in any other performer, Gregg was special... I wish he was still here. But, I saw him as much as I could, and that still makes me smile. Nice video Doc, Gregg was worth one his own.
I am sooo jealous...l never had the chance to see them live although I've been a fan since 'Beginnings' (1st 2 album compilation)
That's a lot of shows, Bro. l saw the ABB in October, 1971 at Winterland, San Francisco. Duane passed on later that month. Sad. Decades later l met Gregg in Novato CA shopping. l will always be a huge fan.
i was in atlanta and saw them several times 69-71
@@woodyburkhalter1That would have been so cool. What a great memory. Visited Atlanta once on business in '84. Had a very good tme.
Did you ever see him with his brother Skydog
Thanks for this, Gregg was about the best blues singer of all time and an amazing songwriter. I still feel his loss as if it was yesterday. RIP Gregg and Duane.
His voice and Allman brothers band will allways be.
I met Gregg at the DMV in Sarasota back in February of 1980. He was with his road manager. We hit it off and he invited me back stage at the Sundome the following month. He was a good man!
Excellent writing and narration. Saw him play at the Sarasota Blues festival in 1994.
Thank you!
I love his voice. I still have their albums. I bought more of their albums than any other artist in my adult life. I went to see him in Oklahoma City one time maybe mid 70s? I was impressed that he never once touched his hair the whole night. Most men with long hair back then were always touching it and he had a pink suede vest and moccasins.
Hey Brother!!
" Nobody left to Run with Anymore"
Says alot there.
In CBS he did an interview.
He was asked " Mr. Allman, how many times have you been to treatment?"
His response.
" Fooourteeen"
She gasped!
He said.
"But i didnt go to fifteen!!"
Classic Gregg Allman!
You do a fine job and service to our favorite people and bands.
Thank ya much!!
Yep sounds like Gregg for sure. Thanks for watching!
He said that to Dan Rather on the big interview
@@GreggAllman-kr7qb
I'm going by memory.
I thought it was an interview on a morning show with like 3 people on it.
It is one of my all time favorite quotes in Rock N Roll.
Yes. More Allman brothers please. Love your mini docs. I'm so thankful I got to see them with Dickie, Warren and Allen Woody a load of times in the 90s. And a bunch with Derek Trucks sitting in when he was 13. Then just as many times when Derek, Warren and Oteil were the front line. I just watched your Dickie episode. He played at Peach fest in PA about 5 years ago with his son Duane and another Gtr player. His playing wasn't as great as he used to be but the crowd didn't care. He got a rousing reception and it was great just to see him one last time. I don't know how many times I saw them at The Beacon theater here in NY but it's a whole lot. Thanks for the great job. Your voice is perfect for the episodes!! Lookin forward to many more.
Thanks. I appreciate it. Dickie's son is a great player. Ihaven't seen him live but caught a video of him playing live.
@@RiverDocs You're welcome. His son really sounds and looks just like him. I've seen him a few times. The last two on the Allman Betts family revival tour at the Beacon. His playing was beautiful. He definitely has Dickie's genes and emerging talent. Luther Dickinson also plays on that tour each year and as good as Duane is.. He's got a ways to go to reach Luther's level. But it sure sounds like he'll get there.
Duane and Gregg will always be my two favorite people
Me too!
Duane once said that if he had Greg's voicè, he could rule the world. Can you imagine? RIP to all our lost but never forgotten brothers.
Although a great guitar player, I don't think Duane had the song writing chops Gregg had
No..why I said can you imagine. However he did write Little Martha Co wrote Mountain Jam and a few more in the early days. Duane. literally didn't have time to write. He slept with his guitar, thus becoming one of the greatest players at 24, in music history. As far as vocals, I think he did a great job on Going Down Slow.
Aww,Gregg, my lifetime crush.💋so in love! I met him once at a solo concert . Afterwards he was signing autographs when it was my turn I just I kissed him. He was my Allmann Joy! RIP! Beautiful man.
Your stories are excellent. I'm so lucky to have grown up in this period of the best music that will ever be. It's what inspired me to learn and play the drums and all those memories are wonderful as well. God bless.
Thank you. I also feel as you do. Very lucky to have grown up with the best music ever!
Always felt like Gregg had unresolved pain that he kept inside but, never completely got past. And poured his soul into his music to help release the some of the pain. Having lost my brother at 46, I get it. Gregg made some great music for sure,though. RIP Gregg.
Great vid… very well done. Somebody once said Greg was the best White Black Blues Singer ever… I just think he was best..
Thanks!
I was fortunate to meet Gregg after a concert in Rochester, NY in 2016. We talked for about 20 minutes, mostlyvsmall stuff. He was very cool and kind!
Your mini docs are so packed with info & more importantly emotion. The sadness which surrounded so many of these rock stars really tugs at our heartstrings, especially this one about Greg, the one about Terry Kath, & maybe the saddest of them all, the story of Allen Collins. I can't thank you enough for these stories. They just add to the music these guys left us. I wish you well & look forward to more from you in the future. Blessings to you.
Thank you. I appreciate it. Peace and Blessings back atcha.
I've listened to the Allman Brothers since Live At Fillmore East album came out and it's still one of my favorite albums of all time. I saw them in concert in the 70s after Duane had passed but it's still one of my favorite concerts. I thought i knew a lot of their history but learned several things about them in this video. Thanks so much for putting this together. Peace!
He was my favorite southern rock vocalist and a fine organist and songwriter. I had recently heard on Facebook that he never used vocal monitors because he never liked them. I think he adapted to the in ear monitors. Seems hard to believe but it came from a reliable source whose band warmed up for the Brothers.
My ringtone is "Firing Line" !
Thanks River Doc for the memories..
You're welcome Tommy. Hope your surgery goes well!
Many thanks River Docs ✌️
You're welcome dimebag! Thanks for watching!
I was hired as Greggs stand in on the set of the movie "Rush", so I got to hang out with him and got a chance to talk to him a little about the old days. I tried not to be the typical fan and brow beat him with stupid questions, but I was a big fan. I found him to be pleasant, relaxed and pretty friendly. In hindsight, after watching this video, I did detect a distance or mystery in him that I picked up on but didn't give much importance at the time. Now looking back after hearing Chers comment, yea, I can remember sensing that distance. Now I know why, or not...
You should probably watch Sonny and Cher singing It Never Rains in Southern California. That should explain a whole lot of questions.
grew up wit the folks blasting the abros. in college in '87 or '88 i had a chance to see his I'm no angel tour. i was only a couple rows back and could see he was obviously drunk but was able to flawlessly play and sing. it was all muscle memory, i guess. a couple year later, the abros got back together and i saw them in a small theater with blue travellers opening. so that night, not only did i get to see what ABros were all about, i saw warren haynes for the first time and discovered blues travellers. the next year, abros had gotten big again and toured the outdoor amphitheaters that were built all over the country around 1990. i proceeded to see them each summer where they would sell out each time. but the 2000s, they still played those shows but the crowds were a little smaller but still be enough to make it feel like a wild concert. last time i saw them was close to 2010. during this whole time, i saw blues travellers and govt mule multiple times as well. allmans were phenomenal for over 40 years and such a very import part of rock history.
In my opinion the best band to ever come out of Dixie. Greg will be missed as well as the rest of the band.
👍😎
Excellent piece! Very insightful and researched. I’ve read damn near every book and magazine on the Allmans since seeing them during the March 1971 Fillmore East shows and visited many of their haunts. There’s so much sadness connected to the band one has to wonder if their blues and ethereal jazz was their one true escape. Gregg’s book is gut-wrenchingly honest. I met him a few times and always thought he was a reserved and shy fella whose artistic gifts were deeper than he even knew. He had a great laugh too. I miss them all. And like every fan, wish Duane and Berry had more years granted.
The brothers went to my high school, Seabreeze High, in Daytona. I saw them in the Orange Bowl in the summer of 1974. What a band.
I knew a nurse that saw him at the MAYO clinic.
I had tickets to see him in AZ at Talking Stick Casino. Small venue. He canceled and died 6 months later. I wanted him to sign his book I purchased since you could get close to the stage..
My most memorable musical moment happened around 1980. I went to the Roxy in Hollywood to see Muddy Waters. Muddy came on and said" I gonna bring someone out to join me". Out walked Gregg and the Playing Up A Storm band. They played a 5 song set which included Trouble No More, Hoochie Coochie Man, Stormy Monday and two other songs. . It was Trouble No More that sent me on a search to find out who McKinley Morganfielld was. When I found out he was Muddy Waters I was on a quest to see him play. If it wasn't for The Allman Brothers Band I wouldn't have been there. If it wasn't for Muddy, Gregg would not of been who he was. I snuck up stairs and got to shake hands with Muddy. I thanked him for his music and told him it it were not for you I wouldn't have his music and pointed over to Gregg. I wanted to meet Gregg but was too afraid, he was one of my heroes.
Great story. Thanks so much for sharing!
This has been a wonderful documentary RD . It took many years before I'd appreciate The Allman Brothers Band and finally ease into country pop rock performing and found , "One Way Out" that we covered . It has a lot to it musically and they were genius writers creating this
cool but difficult tune .. I just didn't know back then . Again , better late than never .
Thanks!! Appreciate it. And yes always better late than never!
I read Gregg's book a few years back, quite a story. Your Docs are still the greatest RD! Thanks again!
I read it too. It was sure a different kind of autobiography than most, to say the least! Thanks Ferd!
@@RiverDocs I've read, I think 5 books and shorts about the Brothers. I like Duanes daughter Gabrielle's book the best. Can you give a list of the books about them, please? I know what you mean about Greg's bio..
@@robertwoodward9231Go to the online store of the Big House, the abb museum. They have them all there.
Another great doc! Always look forward to your content. Best stuff on RUclips!!
Outstanding presentation. Very Well Done
Thank you very much!
My favorite band. 😊
Well done biography, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love GREG ANDDUANE-FREAKIN AWESOMETALENTS, AND AWESOMEBAND,,,THANK YOU BROTHERSFORYOUR SOULFUL MUSIC , , IWILL LISTEN TO -TILL I PASS, AWAY !!!!!
I can't think of a more soulfull, heartfelt, touching voice than Greg's. To see him as a young man with such BIG HEART AND SOUL singing makes my jaw drop.... His brother was right... Greg was the voice they needed.... No disrespect to Dickey, he was amazing in his own right.
I live about an hour north of Macon, Ga, where Capricorn Studios is where the Allman Brothers recorded a lot of their material. They called Macon home for many years. Berry Oakley owned a house in Macon on Vineland and it named The Big House. At some point the band lived there. Now the house has been renovated and it is an Allman Brothers museum now. I took the tour and videoed it for my You Tube channel. I don't have it uploaded yet. I also did a walking tour of Macon and videoed the venues and places where not only the Allman Brothers played, but other greats such as, Little Richard, James Brown, Tom Petty,( still under the name Mudcrutch), and even the Grand Opera House where not only the Allman Brothers played, but Charlie Chaplin did a show there and Harry Houdini. There is a lot of musical and show history in Macon. I also got to go in and even video inside Capricorn Studios in Studio A, where the Allman Brothers did their recordings. Studio A looks today just a sit did back in the 60s and 70s when they recorded there. That footage will be on my Big House video and maybe even on my walking tour of Macon video. The building where the picture of the Allman Brothers band was taken in an alley way, for the cover of Live at The Fillmore album, has been torn down, and the alley is no longer there, but a plaque is there. O also0 have the gravesite of Duane and Greg's grave, along with Butch Trucks and Berry Oakley. They are all buried in the same plot and it is completely fenced in with a wrought iron fence. I hope to have both videos uploaded on my You Tube channel in the spring or early summer. I still have a lot of editing to do to make these two videos really good ones. I even have the front of the building that used to be a bistro in Macon, where Greg proposed to Cher. Oh and I also have the locations in Macon where both Duane and Berry were killed on their motorcycles, and the strange thing is, they both killed at two intersections only a block apart. I have to say that I have found a new respect for the Allman Brothers Band and their music since doing these two videos. There is one more location that I still haven't been able to get inside to video, and that is one reason among several, why I don't have the two videos up yet. Anyway, to everyone that read this comment, please click on my name and go to my channel. I have only been doing videos for about a year now, and I do different topics and not just one subject matter. If anyone is interested in seeing my two videos that I have mentioned, please subscribe to my channel and keep watching, because as I said I will get them up, later in the spring or summer.
@thecoolestdad Awesome can't wait to watch your videos. I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for adding your story. I will add a link to your channel here ;-) I'm sure many of my subscribers will be interested in your videos also! www.youtube.com/@thecoolestdad
@@RiverDocs Thank you sir. I really appreciate it. As you may have noticed I don't have many subscribers as I have only been doing vids for about a year now. I am also subscribed to you as well. I am hoping to get both vids up soon or at least as I mentioned in my comment. Thanks again sir.
@thecoolestdad No problem. It takes time to build up a channel. I wish you the best.
@@RiverDocs Thank you sir for your kind and encouraging words.
I’m in Peach County (Byron) Ga. I grew up in Macon in the 60’s and 70’s and got to meet him when I was 16, he was a nice guy. I like to visit Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon and sit at Elizabeth Reeds grave and watch the Ocmulgee River and remember the past.
Hey man, as always brother thank you for your amazing videos!
Glad you like them!
I thought his rock and roll museum acceptance speech was one of the best I have heard. Short and to the point.
I'm 65 yo...these guys were the soundtrack of my life...and as much as I loved the Allman Bro., I think it was Greg's solo work that pulled me in the most...I'd give anything to sing like Greg...he didn't have great range; he just needed his range...I watched the induction...it broke my heart to see Greg so lost...but in spite of Greg's flaws as a human being, I don't lament him for that...hell, I have my share of demons also...he'll get no judgment from me...I celebrate his life, b/c Greg was my kind of musician...he sang to me...he sang to my soul...he sang so soulful...almost a spiritual experience when Greg pours his heart into a song...I miss him so sorely...Greg, rock on, my brother...you are loved.
Love Greg
Duane and Wilson Pickets version of the Beatles "Hey Jude" is my favorite cover of all time.
Met Greg once at a concert he signed my eat a peach cap and took a picture with my girlfriend he was great great job river docs as always
I am a huge Allman Brothers fan. I am also an artist but not singing, I paint. However my dad was a guitarist and played on the radio many years ago. I love music to the core of my being. I believe artists of any kind feel things very deeply and that includes sorrow. I say this to say I see sorrow in faces sometimes and I saw this sometimes in Gregg's face. I also think artists are never really understood by the people who love them. We are a unique people. I loved Gregg's music because of the passion with which he sang. As Hank Williams would say "Can you make people feel what you feel inside?" And Gregg's was a master at it. RIP Gregg's Allman. 🎸
Very well said! Thank you for watching and your comment.
Love your vids,cheers
I had a box set once that had a bunch of the early Hour Glass, Allman joys and 31st of February stuff on it. They had a good version of morning dew if I remember correctly. I’m sure I still have it somewhere but I don’t own a cd player anymore. It’s amazing how much money I spent on records and cassette tapes, Then I shifted to cds now all of my music is on my phone in my pocket. 😁
I have the Skydod Duane Allman Retrospective 8 cd and just a beautiful box set, if that's what you mean.
@@robertwoodward9231 I’m pretty sure mine was Allman Bros and not just Duane. It was dark green and had the mushroom artwork on the front. It may have been only 4 cds but went from the early days up up to and including Gregg’s solo work. I would imagine the one you had would probably have a lot of the early pre Allmans stuff on it though.
@@robertwoodward9231 ok I just looked it up and it was the early (1989) release of the dreams box set. I’ll have to dig through my stuff and see if I can find it. Then I’ll have to figure out what to play it on.
@@Winstonrodney6989 Yes I have that also, with the green jewel cases and mushroom on them. You should have no problem finding a decent player. Google luck to you and the road will go on forever.
@@Winstonrodney6989 Yes the Retrospective set is really something I wish every fan owned. It's got Duanes guitar case on top a 70 page booklet with his famous tobacco burst on the cover of the book and Duane spelled with fret wire imbedded on the back done by their road manager Twiggs Lyndon. This set has everything he and the brothers ever recorded and everyone else Duane played with. A spread sheet with 129 songs including the 19 minute Dreams, I believe at love valley, which may be his best solo work, concidered by many but hey; I've never heard a bad solo by him. This came out in 2013. I called Hittin the Note and got it for 99.00. The set originally started at 109.00 and I'm not sure what a mint set would be now. The dreams set was good also, just not as much music and not as sonically engeneered as this to my ears anyway.
met him a few times....first word association? INTROVERT.....He was exactly opposite to what I had expected. I was working security at a club in 1986 and hung out backstage. After the show, he approached my boss and asked rather sheepishly and in a deferential way, " excuse me. Can I maybe get a tee shirt?" ....Boss replied, "are you kidding man? How many do you want?" I had other encounters, but that tells you pretty much all you need to know...
Greg Allman, Robert Plant, and Ronnie Van Zant are probably the three best vocalist in Blues, Rock history.
Add Paul Rodgers and we're good👍
@@stingylizard I can't add "Paul Rogers" to the top 3. Because I'd have to bump one of the others off. And as much as I do Love Paul Rogers, He can't bump a single one off that top three.
@@thebluesrockers Alrighty,then! Can't argue with that logic! I'm still a pain,as I think Ronnie should be #1👍🇺🇲
It's all coming from Steve Marriott
Marriott’s Humble Pie years were his pinnacle. Saw him just before he died in a small pub playing with a band called the DT’s. Was still a great performance but a shadow of his former self. RIP 😢
Great video of the great Gregg Allman!
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great documentary!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another Awesome Documentary.... Keep Up the Good Work👍
Thank you!!
I love ABB and southern rock was my whole teenage life, but there were lots of great vocalists. Listen to Paul Rogers of Bad Company, Glen Frey and Don Henley of the Eagles, S. Tyler of Aerosmith, I can go on. But the tragedy was Duane and I wish motorcycles had not been invented until the world had more time to listen to the most underrated guitar player of our time.
Thanks that was very good 👍🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it
That is a lovely tribute. His 60 Minutes interview not long before his death is the other side of the book-cover.
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure
I met Gregg at Grants' Lounge in Macon in 1974. Thursday night was "jam night" and my band was hosting. He sat in on a couple of songs and could not have been nicer.
The brothers grew up on Neeley's Bend, Madison Tn. It was a suburb of Nashville.
Castle Heights Academy was in Lebanon Tn. Down the road apiece.
I remember setting by the radio. not for me ,but my brother. Luck was on his side . just missed him. But not so lucky for some of his friends. The ones that made it back , never were the same. one of the things to do was eat Copper BB's and lots of salt, before the exam. High Blood pressure. Thanks R/D another great Doc.
You're welcome Dennis. Thanks for watching!
RIP Gregg and Duane. Two legends.
U r the best 🏆
Really really appreciate your vids.
Wow.
Plus everything you say is spot on - inspired.
It's... exactly how we want to hear the story.
You, like so many of us, know that Rock is the single greatest art form
Outside of the complex Classical music genre. Intellectualism, profound - is classical.
But Rock is right up there, beside it.
As the greatest art form.
Referencing Rock, I've known/realized very young, as the guys would tell me tibbits, I'm realizing how much more I gotta, have to know.
And your filling that niche for me.
I dig Allman brothers so bad, I consider their unearthly sound...Top 5 bands of all time.
Thats how much I appreciate -- sending you this love note
On all your work, kind sir.
- keep that CD in my car, always.
'91 Firebird formula
That's the song I'll blast, if nothing good in radio.
And song.

Thanks. Glad you enjoy the videos.

Thank you Ryan. Appreciate it!!
Really good, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
His voice lacked power? U need to go down to the whipping post 😊
Nope lol...His voice, though full of emotion was a tough mix on stage. One thing about Gregg, he never clipped :-)
Myself and a girlfriend went to a small amusement park in Massachusetts just outside of Chicopee they had a free concert and low and behold it was ABB and they Rocked the place one of the luckiest days of my life even though I was with her only for about a year we always had a great time together .
Warren and Dickie are outstanding singers..........but Greg was Papa Bear
What a great story And very sad.I am looking forward to seeing them next weekend At the Byron blues, Australia, I am sure it will be awesome.Thank you for your story.Yet again
You're welcome!
Thank you
You're welcome
I went to see Greg that would be his last one he preformed in Atlanta. I was greatly very upset by a lot of the people saying how bad he was. I understood that Greg was not in good shape. I miss Gregg .
I miss him too. Thanks for watching!
Well done, sir! Well done.
Such a unique band they were the first to do what they did. I never considered them southern rock they may have been from the south, but the music was just another level above everybody else jazz blues country vocals top level musicianship all they gave me goosebumps. I’ve got most of their albums. I only got to see the Allman Brothers one time at the oceanfront in Daytona 1990 I will always remember
The Allman Brothers Band Best All Time Blues Band!
You damn right
Loved it buddy.
Thanks 👍
Great video. Thank you. Whipping post is my favorite song of theirs.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
When they had that tribute concert for him a couple years before he passed, the stage was filled with talented singers who sang his many songs. It was a beautiful tribute, but as good as those other singers were, the songs just didn't sound right without Gregg's voice. I hope he's in a better place now.
I met a kid around 1985 in lake Worth FL who said Greg was his dad and he was a dead ringer. Played piano, sing really well, he said his dad would send money every once in a while. I believe him.
Don't remember his name cause i only ran into him a few times. He didn't live in town for very long from what I heard.
He has a son named Michael who lives in Florida. He owns a music store in New Port Richey now. Might have been him?
I had the pleasure of meeting Gregg at a party in Daytona Beach only a few years before his tragic and sad death he was strung out on drugs such a sad situation it didn’t hit me tell I got a little older this was his way of coping with his brothers death so tragic and sad such a good but troubled man he was never the same after his brothers death.
His book is good
Saw Duane 3 or 4 years before he died. Great show
The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame never struck me as anything legitimate, so perhaps Greg felt that way, too.
Thanks man, You Rock! 🎼🎸🎤🎼
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
@@RiverDocs my pleasure sir 🎼🎸🎤🎼
Dude totally had soul.
Gregg's story of Duane not being drafted is probably correct IMHO. There is no "exception" with the family name thing...
Understand this: without Duane Allman, Greg never makes it. Anyone that was there from the beginning, knows this. It was Duane’s amazing guitar work and relationship with Eric Clapton. Don’t forget Dickey Betts. Nothing really happened after Duane was killed.
Saw Gregarious back rib point swipe and video
Sir, I believe our 'Beloved Allman Bros.' actually moved to New Symerna Beach Fl.
Not to mention, Doug gray, Robert lamm, Steven stills, jack bruce, jay Ferguson, and felix papalardi.
Watch the You Tube video of Greg Allman doing " Melissa " solo acoustic on the Dave Letterman Show .
After watching Sonny and Cher singing It Never Rains in Southern California I am now super freaked out that Gregg allegedly married Cher.
This is all true I have his book I love Greg Allman and I miss him Duane was the best guitarest
I wish you would have figured out how because there would have been more over the years. But like so many, drugs and alcohol take a toll on the body and the mind.
