When Gregg died, I walked from my house across the river to Rose Hill Cemetery to attend the service. President Carter and Cher were in attendance. Thanks for sharing your adventure in Macon.
Thanks for this. My old stomping grounds for a few of my teenage years. I had a very significant time at that gravesite once looong ago. At 57 many good and faithful friends have passed, and only the evil backstabbing ones remain! Ain’t that some crap!
I have to comment on this one. You are in my old stomping grounds buddy. Thank you so much for highlighting some of our states awesome stories. I was at Gregg's gravesite the day after he was buried. I wasn't able to make the service due to other commitments. I knew him and the rest of the guys slightly. I worked at the Medical Center of Central Ga. as a paramedic and worked the concert at the City Auditorium where they recorded An Evening with the Allman Brothers. I was able to meet the band. They were all very nice and genuine. I saw Gregg years later and he actually recalled my name and exactly where we had met. It was a sad day when we lost him for sure. Thanks again for these videos. Lots of memories there for me.
Just want to tell you that you sure have a real cute mom....it was a joy watching these videos through her eyes and seeing her obvious excitement. You are a good son to treat her to something that one could see meant a lot to her~
On my bucket list too! I’m obsessed with the rendition of Melissa that Gregg Allman, Dickie Betts and Warren Hayes did acoustically in concert in 1992! Amazing, out of this world amazing!
U are a special cat, Jordan. u did a fab job on the previous vlog from the Big House. I been following these guys since 1969, age 15. Saw them right up front 7 times. U got every lil fact correct! That's very impressive..got a feeling ur Mama taught u so much and u listened. I thank u for carrying this legacy forward! This band will be heard forever. Pass it on! Ur mom is a doll. Keep up the great work; u are truly gifted! Peace and love, blessing too!
What a wonderful, touching tribute, Jordan. Thank you so much. So sad. I've seen them a few times throughout the years and they were, of course, spectacular. In fact, they were my first concert so long ago.
In addition to the Allman Brothers albums, Duane also played on the Derek and the Dominos "Layla" album as well as many other session recordings. He is truly one of the best.
Gregg cane to Cleveland a couple of years before he passed-he had been ill, but came out and did an awesome concert-R.I.P. guys-thank you for your music!
One of your many talents is story-telling. I'm so thankful for the hard work and dedication you put into vlogs that require a person's history from the beginning of their life until the end. I've really enjoyed how this trip has peaked my interest in doing a deep dive into every single person's life who have featured. It is all so interesting to me! I can only imagine how thrilled your mom must be that she was part of this adventure.
I went to the big house, but I was told that the fences kept everyone out at Rose Cemetary. Thanks for the video of Gregg's stone and what it said on it. I wanted to leave a flower for him. RIP Gregg, you're with your brother now.
The videos on this trip have been superior. This one on the allmans was really great. Haven't seen anybody else do this. And that it meant a lot to your mother was a lovely touch.
Brought back lots of memories for sure. And your Mom looks so young! I could tell she was so excited to be with you there to see it all. I remember so much that happened when I was younger. Thanks again for a awesome vlog! Wonderful tribute there in the end.
Wow it is hard to believe that Duane and Barry have been gone that long and they were so young. I guess one can appreciate they both died doing something they loved riding motorcycles. How sad. It was such a sad day for music when they were lost. Thank you Gregg for carrying on, I am sure Duane watched you from above and was very proud of all you did. Rest in Peace guys.
I didn't know much about the Allman Brothers until this vlog. You and your mom have done a great job telling their story. Such a sad ending to their lives. Thanks for sharing.
There's a really great Greg Allman Howard Stern interview on RUclips, and he talks about pretty much being raised by Duane and everything they went through.
That's so sad about the two brothers who both had motorcycle crashes. It's nice that all three are in the same place now, and how wonderful that your Mom has gotten to go to all of those important places related to the Allman brothers......I know she must appreciate you doing that for her, Jordan. You're such a nice guy, and $160 parking ticket was surely worth pleasing your Mom that way. What a nice tribute she had for her birthday that year, and she'll have it forever now...thanks again to YOU! Thanks for the vlog, Jordan.
Thanks for this!! Been there myself and good to know that you appreciate good musicians and good music. I got into the Allman Bros. when I was 15 and Flock Of Seagulls was the big thing of the day. I had my dad drive me to a Dickey Betts show at the Golden Bear. 1985. Good to know that young people still care about quality.
I just finished watching this. It was wonderful. I have grown more fond of Gregg and the Allman Brothers as the years have passed. I loved his autobiography. And I now realize that, in the morning, I am going to have to dig out his last CD and put it in the player in my car. What a neat old cemetery. I am glad that you had your Mom there with you. Rest in Peace. Gregg, Duane and Berry.
It's funny because about 15 yrs ago I would not care to listen to this type of music, but over the last several years I hear it a lot more and appreciate it now. Great vlog.
Thanks Jordan! Yes I am a fan...and have an album bought many years ago. A favorite Gregg Allman song of mine is Queen Of Hearts. Thanks again for all you share! 🎵🎶😉
I just wanted to ad that from what I had heard through the grapevine, that Duane Allman had hit a fruit truck that day and Gregg made the Eat A Peach album which was to be a tribute to his late brother, all the same it's so sad to lose someone at such an early age. R.I.P. Duane, Barry, and Gregg who are all joined in rock "n" roll heaven.
What a great vlog! You always capture the essence of the subjects and locations. Loved hearing about and seeing the inspirations for so many of their songs. They shared such a unique and positive bond. So sad Duane Allman and Berry Oakley died so young. These two vlogs are such a great tribute to the Allman Brothers Band and gift to your mom. Thank you Jordan!
Great vlog. I enjoyed it but it makes me sad to see them laid to rest at such an early age. They should still be here. Thank to you and your mom for the lovely vlog. RIP Gregg and Duane. Safe Travels and Take Care.
💋Been a while since I was there. You done a great job as usual! Loving the with your Mom vlogs. ~Continued Blessings and Support. Love and Light 💖Carli
You are such a nice person to follow and I always love to watch were you venture to! However this is the best journey and memory packed trip to date ❤ Thank you for sharing your awesome adventure and meeting your mother! The look on her face when she was in Gregg's room🙂 ✌❤😊🍄🍄🍄
Hi Jordan Personally I’d like to say a huge thank you for bringing this piece of history back to life. I’m a resident of Macon Ga and unfortunately some of the things that should be memorialized are not and it’s sad because it’s history that people unless people like you keep it alive won’t ever truly know. There has been many attempts to have the crash sites memorialized over the years unfortunately the city claims lack of monetary funds to do so. I love you vlogs thank you for doing what you do. Would love to see you do more in the GA area there is so much forgotten cool history here that people unfortunately will never fully know.
Same! Howard Duane Allman & I actually share middle names. I hated it as a kid but today, I couldn't be prouder of the fact that my daddy named me after the greatest guitar player that ever lived Born & raised in Louisiana, though.
Jordan... That was yet ANOTHER excellent vlog about one of the truly great bands of the early 70's. I visited the crash site of Duane's accident years ago but I never got to see the cemetary where they were laid to rest. Your vlogs are always a pleasure to see because you always display so much knowledge of your subject. Again...really good stuff. Keep up the good work!
Hey Jordan!! I love all of your vlogs & watch every day, but I just have to say the Allman Brother's vlogs over the past two days have just been incredible!! One of my all time favorite bands that I grew up listening to & continue to listen to this very day!! Thank you so much for sharing yours & your mom's visit to Macon to visit the boys & their stomping grounds!!
I'm loving these Allman Brothers vlog, it's like stepping back in time. They do look like they're up to something lol. Duane's words to live by are moving. RIP Midnight Rider.
Ok so here’s the deal. I knew NOTHING about the Allman brothers except that Greg married Cher and they had a son. These last two vlogs have inspired me to you tube Duane and man was he a talent! I now remember some of there hits and the band was fantastic. No wonder your Mom is such a fan. Great history lessons on both. Thank you, yet again. I really enjoyed these!
This was a fun Vlog and informative. I never spent much time listening to the Allman brothers. It gave me a better appreciation for their music . You are so good at what you do Jordan! Keep it up. :)
i'm from Macon. your story of Duane being buried almost a year after he passed is a new one. my cousin, a hair stylist, used to cut their hair. well trimming the ends was more the case. my cousin, Jimmie DeLoach, prepared Duane's body for the funeral. he was suppose to do the same for Barry Oakley, but Barry's parents were devote Baptists, and they wanted their son's hair cut short, and his sideburns shaved off. my cousin Jimmie refused to do that. so i'm assuming that's what happened. BTW Jimmie passed almost 2 years before Gregg did. otherwise he would have prepared Gregg's body too. one other fact, Gregg played the midnight Rider for us at Jimmie's salon on a flattop guitar, and a small glass baby bottle he used as a slide. a lot of folks never knew how well Gregg played guitar, because he was always playing keyboards on stage. but he wrote most of his songs on guitar.
Awesome vlog. Thanks again Jordan. So sad. My brother Vernie loved the Allan Brothers band. He's gone too. Maybe they are partying together. Hugs to your mom.
Never listened to any of their music (I know, shocking!), even though I was a kid during their early years. You (and your mom!), have inspired me to seek them out and enjoy some Allman brothers tunes!! Love "Dark End of the Street " and didn't know they'd recorded it. Thank you SO MUCH, Jordan for yet another AMAZING and interesting vlog! Hugs from 🇨🇦
I learned a lot about playing melodically jamming along with In Memory of Elizabeth Reed...so cool to see all of this. What an amazing band, thanks for the vlog :)
ABB has always been my favorite band of all time. Thanks Jordan, cool video.....I would like to talk Allman Bros. with your mom sometime, nice lady. Thanks again.
Marvelous work, Jordan. Respectful and informative and you spent a good deal of time at the gravesites, not just look around a bit and bolt out of there. Did I hear doves cooing at the end? They symbolize peace, and I hope Greg, Duane and Berry are at peace too.
Rose Hill is on my bucket list for sure. Not only so much ABB history there, just the incredible history of that cemetery itself. If you listen to the lyrics of Melissa, there's a lot of imagery from the cemetery written in the song. The part about the train and the river especially. Gregg was also quoted as saying that Duane loved that song so much he would say to Gregg, "Play that song about the girl!" Melissa is my favorite ABB song too. I'm so surprised that fence was unlocked the day you went, I'm glad it was though because it allowed your Mom to get close to Gregg, Duane, and Berry's resting place to pay her respects! Great job, and thank you for taking us along with you! 🍑🍄✌️❤️
Melissa was written by Gregg long before the move to Macon, so I don’t think the lyrics have any intentional connection to Rose Hill. Gregg wrote the lyrics in 1967, the ABB didn’t move to Macon until 1969.
Yes reopening Recording Studios where sooo many of the great Ones in Music 🎶 hung out and recorded 🎤👩💻Love the Video tonight ❤️✌🏻☕️Loved that record covers info also👏👍
Wow.... I never knew this all happened here in Ga . I'll have to go see this in person someday . Macon isn't the greatest city to visit anymore , but it would be worth it to see this and go pay my respects to their graves . Jordan , you did it again !! Awesome job buddy !! Thanks to you and your mom , I have learned so much more about them . Love their music too . Brings back good memories !!
I’m sure someone has already pointed this out, but the Capricorn Studio was never torn down. In fact the actual room that the artists recorded in is pretty much untouched from 1972, with all the original furnishings, carpet, and everything. You can now tour the studio, I myself have been twice and it’s a must-see in Macon :)
Exactly right about the brick wall,im an old bricklayer,on both photos there are bat courses,bricks laid with the end of the brick showing instead of the longer side ,which is the norm.there are 5 rows or courses between the bat courses in both photos.
And u made me cry at the End! I'm too ill to ever make it there, but what u gave me in the previous vlig and this one was so good, I got real close. Bless you Jordan and all the ABB and theirs.
Hi ! I am from the south of Brazil and I really like your channel, because many curiosities I had about many artists, locations and you showed everything. Thank you !!
We are so lucky that the Allman Brothers kept playing after loosing one the most iconic guitar players of all time. Thank god we got Warren Hays and Tedeschi Trucks to keep the music going.
You make some great videos my friend. One of my favorite ones was on Dime Bag Daryl Abbot. Thanks again for this one I’m from GA but live in Tennessee and haven’t had the chance to visit the Allman Brothers graves but it’s on my bucket list. I love everything from classic rock to metal!❤️🎸🤘
James Marshall took the iconic picture of Hendrix for the cover of the “Hendrix In The West album.” Love the vlog Jordan, man it’s sad that life is sometimes so short and ends so unexpectedly. How eerily similar that Duane & Barry both died on motorbikes so close in proximity, 12 days to the year. Loved the cemetery & railroad track. The tombstone of Elizabeth Reed was awesome 😎In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed is the greatest song by the Allman Bros. In my opinion, also in the top 5 in Rock history.🎸 Thanks ( and your Mom) for keeping the spirit alive ❤️
@gavan hillebold: loved this blog as it got me as close to these sites as I'll ever be. One quibble: Elizabeth Reed was actually written by Dickey Betts, not the entire band. That grave was a live tryst site he shared when he was with the woman who later married Boz Scaggs. A veritable love song of incredible, jazzy beauty.
A friend years ago met Johnny VanZandt at a concert and lived and traveled with Lynnyrd Skynyrd..along the way she also met Gregg Allman and has all kinds of photos of that time.. she also met and hung out with Roy Buchannon...she was gorgeous back then..unbelievable looking..what an adventure she had in her youth....
Just visited Macon last week, hit the Big House but had trouble finding the graves but can't believe how close we were. Your video was Fantastic. Thanks
Hi Jordan, boy, you sure covered a lot into this vlog. WOW!! that is spooky about those two deaths barely a year apart. I can't believe that Barry never went to the hospital right away, so silly. I'm pleased your mom has had a great time on this vlog. Nice that the brothers are buried side by side. Great vlog Jordan.
Berry died of the same head trauma that killed Natasha Richardson after her skiing accident. Worse thing is not going to the ER right away. Everyone has to be monitored for at least 24 hours or risk death.
Since your visit, Butch Trucks ashes have been interred at the end of the row. There's room for Jaimoe and Dickie as well. I'm not aware of another band whose founding members are all buried together. Capricorn studios is also open for morning tours if it's not in use and has a small museum upstairs. I highly recommend a visit to Macon for anyone who wants to see the Allman Brothers sites. The Big House Museum site has maps of the city with recommendations of places to visit. It's a full day of activities. Really moving.
When Gregg died, I walked from my house across the river to Rose Hill Cemetery to attend the service. President Carter and Cher were in attendance. Thanks for sharing your adventure in Macon.
My dad job did the furneral
Thanks for this. My old stomping grounds for a few of my teenage years. I had a very significant time at that gravesite once looong ago.
At 57 many good and faithful friends have passed, and only the evil backstabbing ones remain! Ain’t that some crap!
Life's good but not fair at all.
I have to comment on this one. You are in my old stomping grounds buddy. Thank you so much for highlighting some of our states awesome stories. I was at Gregg's gravesite the day after he was buried.

Just want to tell you that you sure have a real cute mom....it was a joy watching these videos through her eyes and seeing her obvious excitement. You are a good son to treat her to something that one could see meant a lot to her~
wish I still had mine
On my bucket list too! I’m obsessed with the rendition of Melissa that Gregg Allman, Dickie Betts and Warren Hayes did acoustically in concert in 1992! Amazing, out of this world amazing!
Gregg would sing from the heart and you could feel the pain or joy. He was one of the best. ABB true legends.
Allman brother book-$30, parking ticket $160, birthday greeting Priceless.
😉 perfect!!
I was hoping to see the birthday greeting!
U are a special cat, Jordan. u did a fab job on the previous vlog from the Big House. I been following these guys since 1969, age 15. Saw them right up front 7 times. U got every lil fact correct! That's very impressive..got a feeling ur Mama taught u so much and u listened. I thank u for carrying this legacy forward! This band will be heard forever. Pass it on! Ur mom is a doll.

I LOVE the Alman Brothers music !
I grew up listening to them, it was wonderful...
I went to the big house, but I was told that the fences kept everyone out at Rose Cemetary. Thanks for the video of Gregg's stone and what it said on it. I wanted to leave a flower for him. RIP Gregg, you're with your brother now.
They keep it closed up now because of of destruction of the cemetery
Awesome! I named my daughter Melissa after that song!.🎶🎸may they all RIP and yes! The road goes on forever!🍄
I love this. What a great gift. I didn’t grow up listening and will go listen. My dad loves 60’s music so we didn’t listen to 70’s music.
The videos on this trip have been superior. This one on the allmans was really great. Haven't seen anybody else do this. And that it meant a lot to your mother was a lovely touch.
Brought back lots of memories for sure. And your Mom looks so young! I could tell she was so excited to be with you there to see it all. I remember so much that happened when I was younger. Thanks again for a awesome vlog! Wonderful tribute there in the end.

It was such a sad day for music when they were lost. Thank you Gregg for carrying on, I am sure Duane watched you from above and was very proud of all you did. Rest in Peace guys.
Barry Oakley never got over Duane Allman's death he was never the same
I didn't know much about the Allman Brothers until this vlog. You and your mom have done a great job telling their story. Such a sad ending to their lives. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, excellent tribute. “I’m no Angel” definitely a great solo work of Gregg Allman.
There's a really great Greg Allman Howard Stern interview on RUclips, and he talks about pretty much being raised by Duane and everything they went through.
That's so sad about the two brothers who both had motorcycle crashes. It's nice that all three are in the same place now, and how wonderful that your Mom has gotten to go to all of those important places related to the Allman brothers......I know she must appreciate you doing that for her, Jordan.

What a nice tribute she had for her birthday that year, and she'll have it forever now...thanks again to YOU! Thanks for the vlog, Jordan.
Thanks for this!! Been there myself and good to know that you appreciate good musicians and good music. I got into the Allman Bros. when I was 15 and Flock Of Seagulls was the big thing of the day. I had my dad drive me to a Dickey Betts show at the Golden Bear. 1985. Good to know that young people still care about quality.
I just finished watching this. It was wonderful. I have grown more fond of Gregg and the Allman Brothers as the years have passed. I loved his autobiography.

Wonderful tribute Jordan, thank you and great memories for your Mum of your trip together
It's funny because about 15 yrs ago I would not care to listen to this type of music, but over the last several years I hear it a lot more and appreciate it now. Great vlog.
TY for this awesome vlog! Southern Rock will always be the best! Nothing no better than our own southern boys.
Thanks Jordan! Yes I am a fan...and have an album bought many years ago. A favorite Gregg Allman song of mine is Queen Of Hearts. Thanks again for all you share! 🎵🎶😉
I saw Gregg on his last tour. They left us with so much amazing music. 🍄
I just wanted to ad that from what I had heard through the grapevine, that Duane Allman had hit a fruit truck that day and Gregg made the Eat A Peach album which was to be a tribute to his late brother, all the same it's so sad to lose someone at such an early age. R.I.P. Duane, Barry, and Gregg who are all joined in rock "n" roll heaven.
What a great vlog! You always capture the essence of the subjects and locations. Loved hearing about and seeing the inspirations for so many of their songs.

RIP Duane, Berry, Butch and Gregg! We will always love you!
Thank you Jordan you did a great job making this video and made your mother very proud.
Great vlog. I enjoyed it but it makes me sad to see them laid to rest at such an early age. They should still be here. Thank to you and your mom for the lovely vlog. RIP Gregg and Duane. Safe Travels and Take Care.
💋Been a while since I was there. You done a great job as usual! Loving the with your Mom vlogs. ~Continued Blessings and Support. Love and Light 💖Carli

This has got to be one of the best tributes on the alman bros band I’ve seen thank you Jordan
Hi Jordan Personally I’d like to say a huge thank you for bringing this piece of history back to life. I’m a resident of Macon Ga and unfortunately some of the things that should be memorialized are not and it’s sad because it’s history that people unless people like you keep it alive won’t ever truly know.

This was an amazing vlog! I'm gonna start listening to the Allman Brothers Band now! Thank you Jordan!
Great job Jordan! Greetings from south GA!! My dad was a BIG fan and actually named me after Duane.
Born and raised in Statesboro GA
Same! Howard Duane Allman & I actually share middle names. I hated it as a kid but today, I couldn't be prouder of the fact that my daddy named me after the greatest guitar player that ever lived
Born & raised in Louisiana, though.
Jordan... That was yet ANOTHER excellent vlog about one of the truly great bands of the early 70's. I visited the crash site of Duane's accident years ago but I never got to see the cemetary where they were laid to rest. Your vlogs are always a pleasure to see because you always display so much knowledge of your subject. Again...really good stuff. Keep up the good work!
Pretty neat to see all these places. Thanks for taking us along!
Was fortunate to have seen both the Allman Brothers and the Marshall Tucker Band in concert. Actually met Toy Caldwell of the Marshall Tucker Band.
Hey Jordan!! I love all of your vlogs & watch every day, but I just have to say the Allman Brother's vlogs over the past two days have just been incredible!! One of my all time favorite bands that I grew up listening to & continue to listen to this very day!! Thank you so much for sharing yours & your mom's visit to Macon to visit the boys & their stomping grounds!!
I'm loving these Allman Brothers vlog, it's like stepping back in time. They do look like they're up to something lol. Duane's words to live by are moving. RIP Midnight Rider.
Wow they were so young,very sad. Thank you Jordan for taking your time out to make this vlog. Hug's and love to you and have a glorious day
❤️ REMEMBER DUANE ALLMAN! ❤️
OCT 29, 2020
49 years and we still miss you, Brother! 🙏❤️🎸
Ok so here’s the deal. I knew NOTHING about the Allman brothers except that Greg married Cher and they had a son. These last two vlogs have inspired me to you tube Duane and man was he a talent! I now remember some of there hits and the band was fantastic. No wonder your Mom is such a fan. Great history lessons on both. Thank you, yet again. I really enjoyed these!
Thank you Jordan for doing this. Love the Allman Brothers!
FABULOUS job my man! I am originally from Georgia and you NAILED the essence of THE ABB and THE SOUTH! Thank You. PEACE OUT!!
Excellent video documentation. You were very lucky to find that gate open and were able to get close to their graves. Thanks J.
This was a fun Vlog and informative. I never spent much time listening to the Allman brothers. It gave me a better appreciation for their music . You are so good at what you do Jordan! Keep it up. :)
Thanks for the well planned Vlog !.Your doing a great service to preserve some very important music history !
i'm from Macon. your story of Duane being buried almost a year after he passed is a new one. my cousin, a hair stylist, used to cut their hair. well trimming the ends was more the case. my cousin, Jimmie DeLoach, prepared Duane's body for the funeral. he was suppose to do the same for Barry Oakley, but Barry's parents were devote Baptists, and they wanted their son's hair cut short, and his sideburns shaved off. my cousin Jimmie refused to do that. so i'm assuming that's what happened.

Heeyyy Jordan great vlog today, it reduced me to tears... but I loved the Allman Brothers. Thanks so much for sharing 🌹🌺🌸🌼🦋🍀🌻🌻🤠
Wow I loved the band and its so cool to see these sights and you just did a great informative narration. Excellent vlog Jordan👍🏻😎
soul shine my personal fav. listen to rhat song at least once a day. SOUL SHINE
Awesome vlog. Thanks again Jordan. So sad. My brother Vernie loved the Allan Brothers band. He's gone too. Maybe they are partying together. Hugs to your mom.
Excellent Allman Brothers vlog, thank you!
Never listened to any of their music (I know, shocking!), even though I was a kid during their early years. You (and your mom!), have inspired me to seek them out and enjoy some Allman brothers tunes!! Love "Dark End of the Street " and didn't know they'd recorded it. Thank you SO MUCH, Jordan for yet another AMAZING and interesting vlog! Hugs from 🇨🇦
I learned a lot about playing melodically jamming along with In Memory of Elizabeth Reed...so cool to see all of this. What an amazing band, thanks for the vlog :)
Wow... what an experience... mind blowing... thank you Jordan! It's cool that you included your mom too!!
ABB has always been my favorite band of all time. Thanks Jordan, cool video.....I would like to talk Allman Bros. with your mom sometime, nice lady. Thanks again.
Yes i agree Jordan there should be some Kind of Memorial . Wow you found the exact places of the photos ! thank you so much Jordan and Mum . :-)
I'm a local, there won't be any memorials at the accident sites. Roadside memorials are actually illegal in the state of Georgia.
@@JamesAllmond Hello , really ! well that explains it then . Thank you . :-)
@@JamesAllmond ok, that explains it....thought it so odd there were no signs nor memorials for them.
Excellent blog ABB my favorite band of all time will live on forever through there music
Wow amazing Jordan! This is my new favorite vlog of yours! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and passion! Outstanding ❤️
I love that your Mom was with you. Thanks for another great road trip!!!!
Marvelous work, Jordan. Respectful and informative and you spent a good deal of time at the gravesites, not just look around a bit and bolt out of there. Did I hear doves cooing at the end? They symbolize peace, and I hope Greg, Duane and Berry are at peace too.
Rose Hill is on my bucket list for sure. Not only so much ABB history there, just the incredible history of that cemetery itself. If you listen to the lyrics of Melissa, there's a lot of imagery from the cemetery written in the song. The part about the train and the river especially. Gregg was also quoted as saying that Duane loved that song so much he would say to Gregg, "Play that song about the girl!" Melissa is my favorite ABB song too.

Melissa was written by Gregg long before the move to Macon, so I don’t think the lyrics have any intentional connection to Rose Hill.
Gregg wrote the lyrics in 1967, the ABB didn’t move to Macon until 1969.
Yes reopening Recording Studios where sooo many of the great Ones in Music 🎶 hung out and recorded 🎤👩💻Love the Video tonight ❤️✌🏻☕️Loved that record covers info also👏👍
Wow.... I never knew this all happened here in Ga . I'll have to go see this in person someday . Macon isn't the greatest city to visit anymore , but it would be worth it to see this and go pay my respects to their graves . Jordan , you did it again !! Awesome job buddy !! Thanks to you and your mom , I have learned so much more about them . Love their music too . Brings back good memories !!
I’m sure someone has already pointed this out, but the Capricorn Studio was never torn down. In fact the actual room that the artists recorded in is pretty much untouched from 1972, with all the original furnishings, carpet, and everything. You can now tour the studio, I myself have been twice and it’s a must-see in Macon :)
Watching this video on August 16, 2022. I enjoyed it very, very much. I laughed and cried...thank you.
Very well done Jordan, very moving vlog of a great band, thank you !
Thank you for doing this !!! Huge fan of the Allmans brothers
Great vid . Thank you for turning me on to a group i really didnt listen to before but due to you vid i now have a new group to add to fav. list.
Me too!
WHAATTT, wasn’t into the Brothers really? Can’t imagine music without them! 🍑💯✌️🥰💫
Will the Circle be Unbroken , Rest In Peace , Thanks Jordan excellent......
Exactly right about the brick wall,im an old bricklayer,on both photos there are bat courses,bricks laid with the end of the brick showing instead of the longer side ,which is the norm.there are 5 rows or courses between the bat courses in both photos.
And u made me cry at the End! I'm too ill to ever make it there, but what u gave me in the previous vlig and this one was so good, I got real close. Bless you Jordan and all the ABB and theirs.
My husband and I went to the Big House and the graves 8/1/2020. Your video helped us find the graves. Thanks.
Great!
Another excellent vlog!! I am learning so much through your travel vlogs. Thank you!
Great tribute to the Allman Brothers Band! 🍄 🏍💔
Hi ! I am from the south of Brazil and I really like your channel, because many curiosities I had about many artists, locations and you showed everything. Thank you !!
Absolutely awesome thank you Jordan!!!!
We are so lucky that the Allman Brothers kept playing after loosing one the most iconic guitar players of all time. Thank god we got Warren Hays and Tedeschi Trucks to keep the music going.
These are places where they rode around and partied and got some of their inspirations. We did that when we played. TD Atlanta
You make some great videos my friend. One of my favorite ones was on Dime Bag Daryl Abbot. Thanks again for this one I’m from GA but live in Tennessee and haven’t had the chance to visit the Allman Brothers graves but it’s on my bucket list. I love everything from classic rock to metal!❤️🎸🤘
Hi Jordan. This is fantastic. They were great. I saw Gregg and Ducky Betts in the 90s, live outdoors in Massachusetts at concert venue.
Dicky Betts
Love this one!! Your mom is precious! I'm definitely going to check out those tunes!
Awesome vlog Jordan, couldn't beat the Allman brothers. Huge music contributions.
Very good video, Jordan. Now I'm going to listen to some Allman Brothers songs.
James Marshall took the iconic picture of Hendrix for the cover of the “Hendrix In The West album.” Love the vlog Jordan, man it’s sad that life is sometimes so short and ends so unexpectedly. How eerily similar that Duane & Barry both died on motorbikes so close in proximity, 12 days to the year. Loved the cemetery & railroad track. The tombstone of Elizabeth Reed was awesome 😎In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed is the greatest song by the Allman Bros. In my opinion, also in the top 5 in Rock history.🎸 Thanks ( and your Mom) for keeping the spirit alive ❤️
@gavan hillebold: loved this blog as it got me as close to these sites as I'll ever be. One quibble: Elizabeth Reed was actually written by Dickey Betts, not the entire band. That grave was a live tryst site he shared when he was with the woman who later married Boz Scaggs. A veritable love song of incredible, jazzy beauty.
Learned a lot from this vlog..Solid, yet again! Have a great weekend
A friend years ago met Johnny VanZandt at a concert and lived and traveled with Lynnyrd Skynyrd..along the way she also met Gregg Allman and has all kinds of photos of that time.. she also met and hung out with Roy Buchannon...she was gorgeous back then..unbelievable looking..what an adventure she had in her youth....
Just visited Macon last week, hit the Big House but had trouble finding the graves but can't believe how close we were. Your video was Fantastic. Thanks
Hi Jordan, boy, you sure covered a lot into this vlog. WOW!! that is spooky about those two deaths barely a year apart. I can't believe that Barry never went to the hospital right away, so silly. I'm pleased your mom has had a great time on this vlog. Nice that the brothers are buried side by side. Great vlog Jordan.
Berry died of the same head trauma that killed Natasha Richardson after her skiing accident. Worse thing is not going to the ER right away. Everyone has to be monitored for at least 24 hours or risk death.
Another awesome vlog, thank you Jordan
Since your visit, Butch Trucks ashes have been interred at the end of the row. There's room for Jaimoe and Dickie as well. I'm not aware of another band whose founding members are all buried together. Capricorn studios is also open for morning tours if it's not in use and has a small museum upstairs. I highly recommend a visit to Macon for anyone who wants to see the Allman Brothers sites. The Big House Museum site has maps of the city with recommendations of places to visit. It's a full day of activities. Really moving.
