The godfathers of southern rock. Greg Allman sings lead on most of the catalog and plays keyboards. Duane Allman, a guitar vituoso, plays lead on this song. The live at Fillmore East from 1970 is out of this world. There is a video of this. Statesboro Blues, Jessica, Melissa, Midnight Rider, if you have not reacted to this one, are just some of their great songs. Check them out!
@@davidhattman7649 That guitar that Dickey plays always gets me---the sound of the sting of the whip he creates with his guitar--brilliant! I 've never seen anyone comment on that when reacting to this song, and I wonder why because it's so cool.
Yes- Greg Allman on the keyboards…and lead singer- I think he was 20yrs old- what a voice! Please - listen to the live version - any song off of Live at Filmore East will do!
Like everyone else says, the live album Fillmore East is the greatest Allman Brothers album and the best live album ever in my opinion. Check out Stormy Monday or One Way Out next.
BJ you nailed it. The guitars, like the vocals, are conveying so much emotion, pain and sorrow. I recommend One Way Out next by them. You will see why Duane Allman is considered the greatest slide guitarist ever.
I'm with you brother, favorite band ever! You've gotta do the whole "Don't Want You No More" lead into "It's Not My Cross to Bear"!! That gravely growl Greg lets out leading into "Cross" is so damn great!
this band deserves an excavation of their timeless music, you may be late to the party but you'll never forget the soul of the greatest Southern Rock band to ever do it! the studio version of Southbound is one of the greatest driving songs i've ever experienced.
The live version of this from the Fillmore East album of 1970 will be even more mind blowing than this record version. It will leave you both speechless 😎🎸
Unfortunately, I have only been able to find a 13 minute live video for "Whipping Post" on YT and the "Live At The Fillmore East" album version is roughly 23 minutes long.
Love this song! As a teenager, I was fortunate enough to have seen the original Allman Brothers Band in concert - they headlined an all day open air festival at Midway Stadium in St Paul, MN, in July 1971. I knew a little about the band, but didn't fully appreciate how good they were at the time. Fun fact: they had two drummers Other bands that appeared that day: t's a Beautiful Day. Little Richard. Richie Furay and Poco, John Baldry, Joy of Cooking, Redeye and Jam Band/Mike Quatro. Another not-so-fun fact: one attendee was climbing up one of the tall light poles at sunset and was told to come down before he fried when the lights were ready to be put on. Also, many concert-goers had climbed on top of and were sitting on the scoreboard. One of them fell off and later died in the hospital, causing the cancellation of the third concert scheduled for the following month. Festival #1, which I also attended the month before, featured Tony Glover, Muddy Waters, Crow, The Butterfield Blues Band, Delaney & Bonnie, John Sebastian, and headliner The Band. Good times!
Now a lot of people sing the praises of Greg and Duane Allman but, the band wouldn't be what they were without the other 4 members. The late great Berry Oakley on bass, then another terrific guitar player Dickie Betts, two underrated drummers Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Johansson. Now I will give props and love to Greg and Duane but, much love and admiration for the others that is what made this a Great band. So come on and give these men there proper love and respect.
The most lethal twin guitar duo to ever hold a stage. Having Duane "Skydog" Allman & Forest Richard "Dickey" Betts as dueling twin leads in the same band just really wasn't fair to most bands of the era.
@bobshaw8319 EXAAAAACTLY!! 💯 1975 Old Grey Whistle Test appearance is one of the most flawless performances I've ever seen. If that crash hadn't happened, I don't think it'd even be a discussion. God tier.
One of my favorite AB song . Love Greg Allmans soulful voice & btw he plays the organ too. They had so many great songs , try Blue Monday, Statesboro Blues , Jessica , No Way Out, Soulshine, just to name a few . Enjoy your channel , y'all keep up the good work!
Now you dabbling in my hometown boys from Macon Georgia {also home of Lil Richard & Otis Redding} where they created the southern rock sound at their 'Big House' which is just a few miles from my house - PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS ✌☮
@@markhunter8554 yall come on down, the Big House is a great museum now & be sure to visit Capricorn Studios too where all the greats besides the Allmans recorded like Molly Hatchet, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Charlie Daniels, Little Feat, Marshall Tucker Band, Elvin Bishop, Delbert McClinton, Percy Sledge, Lynyrd Skynyrd & more!
"Southern" rock is selling them short. The Allmans were far more than that. The Allmans,Little Feat and The Grateful Dead are,for me,the three bands that just encapsulated American music as they touched on so many different parts of the whole...rock,blues,jazz,soul,country and folk as well.
Gregg said rock came out of the south, so the term 'Southern Rock' is like saying 'Rock Rock'. You're right; they're so much more than rock; southern or otherwise. They're blues, they're jazz, and they're rock all at the same time. Amazing group.
I enjoyed hanging out with y'all while we listened to this! Music brings all kinds of people together, it's truly a universal language that crosses all lines of age, race, gender, everything. This is such a powerful song, really digs deep.
Gregg Allman singing and playing the Hammond B3 with a Leslie amp and it's spinning horn speaker. Gregg wrote this song in the middle of the night, writing it down on an ironing board cover with burnt matches because he couldn't find paper and pencil in the dark. True story. Go into the band at their best, live performance. From 'Live at the Fillmore East', listen to their instrumental 'In Memory of Elizabeth Reed'. Or if you really got to have some vocals, the first track, 'Statesboro Blues'.
This is the greatest live band I’ve ever seen. I was unprepared and shocked and amazed by them. It was beyond giving each other cues; they all lived on a farm together with their families and knew each other so well that it seemed telepathic. Beyond that, they were all excellent, top of the line, best in the country individual musicians who used everything they knew and combined every style and genre of American music to create a new style of their own, which people called “Southern Rock”, but they didn’t. They were unparalleled, seemed to come out of nowhere, and had many imitators. They had two drummers, two guitarists, and at first two keyboardists: Gregg Allman replaced Reese Wynans, who went on to play a decade later with Gregg’s friend Stevie Ray Vaughan. Gregg died five years ago, and Reese came full circle and played The Allman Brothers Band’s 50th Anniversary Show with them. To be in The Allman Brothers Band in any incarnation you had to be an excellent musician. Anything from ‘Fillmore East’, especially this song (it’s worth it) or ‘Eat a Peach’ is brilliant.
Greg was Cher's ex husband.. I believe their son Elijah had ( has?) A metal band. Called Deadsy & his wife is in the UK band KING . The drummer Butch's nephew Derek married to Susan T. they have a well-known band~ Tedeschi- Trucks~ ( i think you'd both really like btw ) ... Greg's other son Devon , Duane Betts ( Dickey's son) & Berry Duane Oakley ( Berry's son) have a band called ~ Allman Betts Band A vast musical legacy to check out for sure Over the years I've seen ABB about 8 times. . Saw Greg solo once in a tiny bar in The Fl Keys New Years day ,early 80s impromptu...amazing. lots of songs suggestions already made... Another solid pick , imo Duane Allman & Wilson Picket' s version of ~ Hey Jude ~ Is crazy good. Love your channel 💜🎶, Ty!
Top 10 fav of mine. Favorite Allman song. Greg Allman's voice is like a beautiful gravel road, and yes, he's playing organ. Duane Allman's guitar is just epic. The whole thing is epic. Everybody knows what Greg is talking about; we all feel that way now and again. Great post.
Duanne Allman the lead guitar player recorded with Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett before forming ther Allman Brothers Band with his brother Gregg on vocals......
Greg Allman formed the band and played keyboards (organ in this song). His older brother Duane played some of the best slide in the world. Additional songs include, Statesboro Blues, One Way Out, Stormy Monday, Blue Skies, Melissa. Duane also played the real high pitched slide guitar on Layla by Derek and the Dominoes. Duane also sat in on a lot of other musicians albums.
No. Gregg was the LAST person to join the band. ABB was DUANE's band. Reese Wynans was the original keyboard player, and when Duane persuaded (more like ORDERED) Gregg to join the band, Reese had to go because Duane didn't want two keyboard players. ABB's loss was SRV's gain. Reese was a very valuable member of Double Trouble., and now he plays with some of the greatest musicians around.
@@bryansimmons4550 Exactly. I'm 62 and just 3 years ago I found out about Reese and I followed and listen to them every since my brother brought home ABB Idlewild South then Live at the Fillmore just cemented my love for this band. Unfortunately Duane died soon after. But Reese can definitely play the keys.
I'm feeling these amazing Brothers since I was 17 and I'm now 70 and still listen to them almost every day. More please..Statesboro Blues..Not my cross to bear..and One Way Out..Fillmore East..Thanks ✌️
Duane Allman is amazing on guitar, Gregg on organ and vocalist. Gregg wrote song when he was 21. Was it true life for him? Can't say but he was married to Cher for awhile. 😮
ANYTHING from the Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore East album is outstanding and classic. For studio albums, my favourite is 'Eat A Peach' and my favourite song on that album is 'One Way Out'. If you all want to get crazy that album also has a song that is over 33 minutes long called 'Mountain Jam'. And that's what it is; over half an hour of the Allman Brothers just jamming. I remember on the original vinyl album there were 8 songs on one record and Mountain Jam took up the entire side of a second LP. It was a unique 1 and a half LP release. The other side of the LP with Mountain Jam on it was blank. I don't think anybody else ever did something like that.
Now we are cookin' ! This song should always be the first introduction to anyone who's never heard of the band (GASP). But as good as this studio version is (and believe me,any version of this song by the ABB is worthy) you really need to react to any live version of this,either from the original lineup,or the final lineup in 2014 - you will never be disappointed.
@@custardflan you know what,and I've followed the band since the beginning when I was young,and I will totally agree with you. Derek is on another planet,and he is an extension of Duane - as for Warren,his vocals and guitar skills are on a par with any of the so-called guitar greats.
Southbound, Stormy Monday, Ain't wasting time no more, Done Somebody Wrong, Les Brers in A Minor, Back Where it all Begins, Jessica and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. ALL FIRE.. The original line-up with Duane Allman and Dickey Betts or the 90's line-up with Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks are both great. I'm partial to the later line-up because I've seen those guys live many times..
There is a live version that is phenom. The singer (Gregg Allman) is actually playing keyboards but you will see a great performance and feel the energy of the crowd. It may be to long for a review @ 13:00 minutes but that was standard for shows back in the day. Two other laid back shorter songs I loved were Ramblin man and Blue sky....just found you, really enjoy your reactions and people discovering the greatness of earlier decades.
Driven by it's 11/8 Jazz fused drum/bass coda. Accentuated by Duane and Richards guitar virtuosity and creativity. Powered by Gregg's raw emotional voice, as he delivers his kicked in the gut lyrics. This Jazz/Blues/Soul/Gospel/Rock/Country influenced song was a game changer. Like Johnny B Goode, Heartbreak Hotel, Rock Around The Clock, What I'd Say, and I Want To Hold Your Hand before it. Whipping Post created a new genre of music...Southern Rock. With all it's offspring. I am so happy you both heard this version. It is, historically speaking, a very important song. Cheers, RNB
The guitar work in these songs is played back and forth with Duane Allmans great slide guitar and Dickey Betts intricate runs on his leads. One picker, one slider.
I'm glad you listened to the studio cut first. The live version is great, but this cut is immaculate. Now is when you should check out the live version. IMHO you hit it in the right order.
This song was always my favorite Allman Bros!! Listen to Stateboro Blues, Melissa, ain’t wastin no more time, one way out! Another favorite! Thank God for the Allman Bros when I was a teenager growing up! And BJ it’s true, if you don’t feel their emotions in each song, you ain’t feelin nothing!! Lol!
Gregg was 21 when he wrote and recorded this. My man put the feelings of an old man who has lived pain deep in this song. It is just perfect. Check out Stormy Monday from their incomparable album At Fillmore East. You can thank me later.
Duane Allman: lead and slide guitar (first solo), Gregg Allman: organ and vocals, Dickey Betts: lead guitar (2nd solo), Barry Oakley: bass, Jaimoe and Butch Trucks (drums).
So many great songs and great albums. I have every album of theirs -- studio and live. I unfortunately never got to see them live personally. I have seen The Allman Betts Band and they were incredible live. They feature 3 of the sons from The Allman Brothers Band and they have 2 albums worth checking out. Devon Allman on vocals, guitar (son of Gregg Allman -- singer, organ/piano), Duane Betts on vocals, guitar (son of Dickey Betts -- guitarist), & Berry Duane Oakley on bass (son of Berry Oakley -- bassist).
The Allman Brothers Band basically invented "blues/rock," a mixture of blues and rock that his since been called "southern rock." But since rock originated in the south, "southern rock" is actually a redundant term.
One of their best songs to me. And Gregg Allman is the singer and keyboard player in this and most of their tunes. If you haven't already done it,Soulshine is a must. Have a nice evening.
Wow! I had heard versions of this song, but I'd never heard the full song by the actual band. That was amazing!!!! I loved watching your faces on this song. I could tell you were really feeling it!
Lucky to have a brother who was a drummer in a rock group. This was one of their songs. My mom allowed band practice at our house. My friends would come over on a Friday night and it was great. One of my favorites. Also, first concert outside raceway park NJ. Great times as a teenager.
Wife here..My Husband educated me on how many other southern rock bands they have helped get started..He's also been to more of their concerts than any other artist..He said when they do this song..Show is over for real..(After 3 or 4 encore's)!
Love your reaction. Makes me so happy to witness people enjoying and being able to communicate why they love this music. Try Stormy Monday, live from Fillmore East. Maybe the most perfect piece of jazz-blues-rock I've ever heard. Or Aint My Cross to Bear. Virtuosos on every instrument, and nobody makes you feel the music more than Greg and Duane Allman.
In my 70's and remember hearing them when they first came out. They're my favorite band of all-time, and it's so cool to see youngsters getting turned on to the same music that turned us on 50 years ago.
The Allman Brothers Band also wrote and played these long complicated instrumental numbers, like In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (from Live at the Fillmore). I don't know if it'd be a great reaction song, but you should check it out sometime. They were great writers & players. Anything from the Fillmore album will be great. Statesboro Blues is a big classic, One Way Out
And the cool thing is.. I've gotten to see them many times.. in many forms thru the decades.. and they all tore it up . Supreme musicians. they weren't just concerts,, they were expiriences.
As good as the Allmans sound on record, they are next level live. The original group especially. Every live recording I've heard of the original group (and honestly, later incarnations) is music at its finest. An amazing collection of gifted musicians with diverse influences, and one of the great lead vocalists in Gregg Allman (the bookends of his solo career - Laid Back and Southern Blood - are fantastic. Duane played on many of the Muscle Shoals recordings; the two-volume Duane Allman Anthology is a great collection of his work that features some of his best work as a session musician.
@@jeffcocco7123 I was there as well at the Meadows. Up on the hill in the pouring rain. People sliding down the hill in the mud, throwing mud everywhere. But through it all the band cooked. Warren Haynes and Allen Woody helped put the Brothers back on the map in ‘89, and by this time they were on fire! Never forget that show!
Why is that about the way I feel about it I'll tell you what jobs made there is a Teddy bear Teddy bear yes that's a song it's red sova and there's a song called Teddy bear Teddy bears a good song for the Christmas secretary in the holiday spirits puppies
Saw these guys live in Rochester NY (1975), after Dickey Betts became solo lead guitar. Nearly four hours of iconic Blues (southern) Rock...Simply Amazing!!
Allman Bros live albums are the way to go. Live at Fillmore East one of the greatest live rock albums. Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollars Gas is another good one. Greg Allman singing live is epic Live version of Don't Want You Know More leading into Not My Cross to Bear
How the hell can a 21 year old blonde kid have so much damn soul in his voice? Freaking beautiful.
Ikr! Greg sounded like a 60 year old black man! (in the best way). What a legend.
Because everyone feels.
The godfathers of southern rock. Greg Allman sings lead on most of the catalog and plays keyboards. Duane Allman, a guitar vituoso, plays lead on this song. The live at Fillmore East from 1970 is out of this world. There is a video of this. Statesboro Blues, Jessica, Melissa, Midnight Rider, if you have not reacted to this one, are just some of their great songs. Check them out!
Don Actually both Duane and Dickey Betts are playing on this song. Duane first solo Dickey second.
In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed.
Hey, did you say that? Agreed!
@@davidhattman7649 That guitar that Dickey plays always gets me---the sound of the sting of the whip he creates with his guitar--brilliant! I 've never seen anyone comment on that when reacting to this song, and I wonder why because it's so cool.
Gotta add...ONE WAY OUT.....Their live album at Filmore is a must.
Greg Allman’s voice sounds like he’s lived a thousand lifetimes! Yes, great reaction!
Gregg Allman burnt his candle on both ends for sure.
Think he was 22 when they recorded this too...
The singer, Greg Allman is indeed playing the Hammond B-3 Organ!
Indeed.
Duane Allman on slide guitar, he was one of the best guitarist around back then . RIP Gregg & Duane
One of the best guitarists ever.
& Berry
Dickie Betts is the second solo.
No slide on this song.
Yes- Greg Allman on the keyboards…and lead singer- I think he was 20yrs old- what a voice! Please - listen to the live version - any song off of Live at Filmore East will do!
yes, I was just thinking of the live version.. that one is killer
In Memory of Elizabeth Reed
I like for you to hear feel like making love I know a lot of people know it
Gregg was 21.
He wrote the song too...
Like everyone else says, the live album Fillmore East is the greatest Allman Brothers album and the best live album ever in my opinion. Check out Stormy Monday or One Way Out next.
The singer, Gregg Allman, also plays the organ...some people have ALL the talent😎
Duane Allman
also he wrote the song
Too bad his brother didn't get any of that Allman talent! LOL! Seriously, there was so much talent in this band it's hard to imagine.
The Allman Brothers invented Southern Rock. Arguably the greatest Band produced by America.
Actually, Lynyrd Skynyrd was formed before the Allman Brothers.
@@southernpatriot6169 True, but the Brothers were released first.
@@markhunter8554 Okay..didn't know that. 👍
I think you will both fall in love with their song “One Way Out” live at the Fillmore East album. You get to see them jam their asses off.
BJ you nailed it. The guitars, like the vocals, are conveying so much emotion, pain and sorrow. I recommend One Way Out next by them. You will see why Duane Allman is considered the greatest slide guitarist ever.
Great reaction. This one in Statesboro Blues paint such vivid pictures, it's like you can smell and taste the dust in the town square.
This is my favorite band EVER! I have seen them live over 40 times. Glad you guys are catching on. Do “Not my Cross to Bear” next. Great band!
I'm with you brother, favorite band ever! You've gotta do the whole "Don't Want You No More" lead into "It's Not My Cross to Bear"!! That gravely growl Greg lets out leading into "Cross" is so damn great!
The Marshall Tucker Band "Can't You See",, "Heard It In A Love Song" & "Take The Highway"
Another one of my favorite bands. Definitely would love to hear their music. ❤
So blessed to have grown up in Georgia, allmons, lynyrd skynyrd, Atlanta rhythm section, and mother's finest nothing but hits for days baby.
Same here!!😊 love Mother's Finest
Mothers Finest!
@@carlastanley1138 mothers finest has perforned like 3 times this year here in georgia and they are still rocking da house
this band deserves an excavation of their timeless music, you may be late to the party but you'll never forget the soul

The live version of this from the Fillmore East album of 1970 will be even more mind blowing than this record version. It will leave you both speechless 😎🎸
For audio quality I’d go with Fillmore East.
YUSS
Unfortunately, I have only been able to find a 13 minute live video for "Whipping Post" on YT and the "Live At The Fillmore East" album version is roughly 23 minutes long.
@ David Hapka That's 1971. And your right that live version should leave you speechless. 22 minutes of sheer bliss.
Nah, it's just jam band stuff at that point. Studio version is way better

Duane Allman & Wilson Picket' s version of ~ Hey Jude ~

Love your channel 💜🎶,

This is top tier southern rock blues, the standard for everybody that came after including Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Correction, Lynyrd Skynyrd was formed before the Allman Brothers!

Love The Allman Brothers, and this is one of their best. This is fire!
Nice to see the appreciation of the incredible music by The Brothers. Keep up the good work.
Great reaction. ❤️❤️ One of my favorites has always been "One Way Out."
I miss seeing them live, playing outside on a summer night in Western NY... I'm grateful I did get to see them a few times

I'm feeling these amazing Brothers since I was 17 and I'm now 70 and still listen to them almost every day. More please..Statesboro Blues..Not my cross to bear..and One Way Out..Fillmore East..Thanks ✌️
I always loved how in sync the 2 drummers are yet the slightly different tone/tuning of each kit stands out, which make a unique sound.
The lead singer, Greg Allman, plays the organ and he plays it really well.
When he paused it at the end I literally yelled “AHHHH!”
Glad he backed it up though.
Duane Allman is amazing on guitar, Gregg on organ and vocalist. Gregg wrote song when he was 21. Was it true life for him? Can't say but he was married to Cher for awhile. 😮
ANYTHING from the Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore East album is outstanding and classic. For studio albums, my favourite is 'Eat A Peach' and my favourite song on that album is 'One Way Out'. If you all want to get crazy that album also has a song that is over 33 minutes long called 'Mountain Jam'. And that's what it is; over half an hour of the Allman Brothers just jamming. I remember on the original vinyl album there were 8 songs on one record and Mountain Jam took up the entire side of a second LP. It was a unique 1 and a half LP release. The other side of the LP with Mountain Jam on it was blank. I don't think anybody else ever did something like that.
This is a very short version live at the Fillmore East they stretch out and show how they can solo
Now you’re getting into some great Allman Brothers music, this is fricken awesome
One of the best musical recordings ever recorded. Nice
Jazz, blues, rock, R&B, southern rock - the Allman Brothers could bring it all.
Oh that's the jam!!! Legendary for sure and the Allman brothers are a legend!💯✌️✊
Pleaseeeeeeee keep it going with “Statesboro Blues”. by the Allman Brothers.
Exactly a great segue to "Statesboro Blues"!
Asia has the most beautiful eyes on the planet. And this is a great song. Classic Southern rock.
Now we are cookin' ! This song should always be the first introduction to anyone who's never heard of the band (GASP). But as good as this studio version is (and believe me,any version of this song by the ABB is worthy) you really need to react to any live version of this,either from the original lineup,or the final lineup in 2014 - you will never be disappointed.
AB with Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes may have been better than the original.
@@custardflan you know what,and I've followed the band since the beginning when I was young,and I will totally agree with you. Derek is on another planet,and he is an extension of Duane - as for Warren,his vocals and guitar skills are on a par with any of the so-called guitar greats.
And this is from their FIRST album.
One of the greatest debut albums of all time.
Southbound, Stormy Monday, Ain't wasting time no more, Done Somebody Wrong, Les Brers in A Minor, Back Where it all Begins, Jessica and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. ALL FIRE.. The original line-up with Duane Allman and Dickey Betts or the 90's line-up with Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks are both great. I'm partial to the later line-up because I've seen those guys live many times..
There is a live version that is phenom. The singer (Gregg Allman) is actually playing keyboards but you will see a great performance and feel the energy of the crowd. It may be to long for a review @ 13:00 minutes but that was standard for shows back in the day. Two other laid back shorter songs I loved were Ramblin man and Blue sky....just found you, really enjoy your reactions and people discovering the greatness of earlier decades.
So young to be putting out music this powerful and mature!
Driven by it's 11/8 Jazz fused drum/bass coda. Accentuated by Duane and Richards guitar virtuosity and creativity. Powered by Gregg's raw emotional voice, as he delivers his kicked in the gut lyrics. This Jazz/Blues/Soul/Gospel/Rock/Country influenced song was a game changer. Like Johnny B Goode, Heartbreak Hotel, Rock Around The Clock, What I'd Say, and I Want To Hold Your Hand before it. Whipping Post created a new genre of music...Southern Rock. With all it's offspring. I am so happy you both heard this version. It is, historically speaking, a very important song. Cheers, RNB
🙌🙌🙌🙌
The Oak came up with the intro.
That's a Hammond B3 Organ with Leslie Rotating Speakers, iirc....
Allman Brothers had soul! They have many more songs. Great video!
The guitar work in these songs is played back and forth with Duane Allmans great slide guitar and Dickey Betts intricate runs on his leads. One picker, one slider.
You still have to pick with slide guitar lol
I'm glad you listened to the studio cut first. The live version is great, but this cut is immaculate. Now is when you should check out the live version. IMHO you hit it in the right order.
This song was always my favorite Allman Bros!! Listen to Stateboro Blues, Melissa, ain’t wastin no more time, one way out! Another favorite! Thank God for the Allman Bros when I was a teenager growing up! And BJ it’s true, if you don’t feel their emotions in each song, you ain’t feelin nothing!! Lol!
Greg Allman on organ and lead vocals (guy on the left side of album cover)
Great music still alive bless you guys!
Gregg was 21 when he wrote and recorded this. My man put the feelings of an old man who has lived pain deep in this song. It is just perfect. Check out Stormy Monday from their incomparable album At Fillmore East. You can thank me later.
Barry Oakley on bass & Butch Trucks & Jamo Johnson on drums. The foundation is strong
Man! I just love seeing people react to some serious serious music they never heard before! This song is in my top 50. Maybe top 30. Nice 👍
Duane Allman: lead and slide guitar (first solo), Gregg Allman: organ and vocals, Dickey Betts: lead guitar (2nd solo), Barry Oakley: bass, Jaimoe and Butch Trucks (drums).
So many great songs and great albums. I have every album of theirs -- studio and live. I unfortunately never got to see them live personally. I have seen The Allman Betts Band and they were incredible live. They feature 3 of the sons from The Allman Brothers Band and they have 2 albums worth checking out. Devon Allman on vocals, guitar (son of Gregg Allman -- singer, organ/piano), Duane Betts on vocals, guitar (son of Dickey Betts -- guitarist), & Berry Duane Oakley on bass (son of Berry Oakley -- bassist).
The Allman Brothers Band basically invented "blues/rock," a mixture of blues and rock that his since been called "southern rock." But since rock originated in the south, "southern rock" is actually a redundant term.
I absolutely love watching you guys cuz you’re so open to so many different kinds of music❤️
One of their best songs to me. And Gregg Allman is the singer and keyboard player in this and most of their tunes. If you haven't already done it,Soulshine is a must. Have a nice evening.
Southern blues rock. Greg was married to Cher, they have a son Elisha Blue.
Elijah Blue Allman
I lived across the street from the house they had shared
Wow! I had heard versions of this song, but I'd never heard the full song by the actual band. That was amazing!!!! I loved watching your faces on this song. I could tell you were really feeling it!
Lucky to have a brother who was a drummer in a rock group. This was one of their songs. My mom allowed band practice at our house. My friends would come over on a Friday night and it was great. One of my favorites. Also, first concert outside raceway park NJ. Great times as a teenager.
Wife here..My Husband educated me on how many other southern rock bands they have helped get started..He's also been to more of their concerts than any other artist..He said when they do this song..Show is over for real..(After 3 or 4 encore's)!
Check out their live version of this song. One of the best performances... EVER!
CLASSIC 3M Organ played by lead vocalist Gregg Allman...CLASSIC BAND...SOUL, BLUES, GOSPEL GENUISES
Now y'all see why they're my favorite band. Just otherworldly. 🤘💜💚💛✌️
Love your reaction. Makes me so happy to witness people enjoying and being able to communicate why they love this music. Try Stormy Monday, live from Fillmore East. Maybe the most perfect piece of jazz-blues-rock I've ever heard. Or Aint My Cross to Bear. Virtuosos on every instrument, and nobody makes you feel the music more than Greg and Duane Allman.
This song just hit diff when it come out. This band had so much soul . So much Mississippi delta blues and soul in it
Yep, that’s the vibe The Allman Bro’s give off. How about Statesboro Blues, or Come and Go Blues? You’ve been in the zone for awhile now. Nice.
Love them southern boys!😎❤😎
Always watch "live" versions of them and LYNYRD SKYNYRD. ALSO "the Marshall tucker" band. "Cant you see" live should be the next song you hear.
In my 70's and remember hearing them when they first came out. They're my favorite band of all-time, and it's so cool to see youngsters getting turned on to the same music that turned us on 50 years ago.
The Allman Brothers Band also wrote and played these long complicated instrumental numbers, like In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (from Live at the Fillmore). I don't know if it'd be a great reaction song, but you should check it out sometime. They were great writers & players. Anything from the Fillmore album will be great. Statesboro Blues is a big classic, One Way Out
The live video is great!!!
And the cool thing is.. I've gotten to see them many times.. in many forms thru the decades.. and they all tore it up . Supreme musicians. they weren't just concerts,, they were expiriences.
Even Greg Allmans speaking voice was soulful, definitely one of the top vocalists. He was the organ and piano player. 👍👍👍
The double drum kit, bass line, and that mega Hammond organ is just 💰
As good as the Allmans sound on record, they are next level live. The original group especially. Every live recording I've heard of the original group (and honestly, later incarnations) is music at its finest. An amazing collection of gifted musicians with diverse influences, and one of the great lead vocalists in Gregg Allman (the bookends of his solo career - Laid Back and Southern Blood - are fantastic. Duane played on many of the Muscle Shoals recordings; the two-volume Duane Allman Anthology is a great collection of his work that features some of his best work as a session musician.
I saw them in the pouring rain in Agawam, MA back in 1994 and they were amazing. Not the original lineup, but still worth every rain soaked moment!
Loan Me a Dime with Boz Scaggs is on of my favorites off that. As well as Games People Play with King Curtis
@@somersetcace1 I saw them in Hartford that year abs I think it was pouring as well.
Yes! Thank you for telling them.
@@jeffcocco7123 I was there as well at the Meadows. Up on the hill in the pouring rain. People sliding down the hill in the mud, throwing mud everywhere. But through it all the band cooked. Warren Haynes and Allen Woody helped put the Brothers back on the map in ‘89, and by this time they were on fire! Never forget that show!
Merry Christmas guys
Why is that about the way I feel about it I'll tell you what jobs made there is a Teddy bear Teddy bear yes that's a song it's red sova and there's a song called Teddy bear Teddy bears a good song for the Christmas secretary in the holiday spirits puppies
Saw these guys live in Rochester NY (1975), after Dickey Betts became solo lead guitar. Nearly four hours of iconic Blues (southern) Rock...Simply Amazing!!
Ya'll need to check out a lot more Allman Brothers. Dreams, Melissa, Blue Sky, they have SO many amazing songs in their catalogue.
Allman Bros live albums are the way to go. Live at Fillmore East one of the greatest live rock albums. Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollars Gas is another good one. Greg Allman singing live is epic
Live version of Don't Want You Know More leading into Not My Cross to Bear
Still probably the best live show I've ever seen. It was pure magic.
Been to the cemetery in Macon GA where some of their songs were written with my dad. So glad I raised on great music such as this!
Rose Hill.
Now some music, I'm 67 and lived what they're singing about, my life.
