God rest his soul. Powerful picture you painted. Thank you for sharing your story and courage. If we could all leave behind something like that, the world would be better for it.
EVERY time I listen to this I get goosebumps when Dickie and Warren start playing together. Maybe the best acoustic performance on RUclips. Thanks for posting!
Love this song...Beautiful and so perfect in every way!! Voice and guitar~Gregg and Dickey~extraordinary!! RIP Gregg and Duane...Much Love always!! ❤🙏🌈🌠🙏♥️
Without doubt the finest southern rock band ever. Never to be matched. Todays country bands who think they can jam & play have no idea what that means. This performance is just mesmerizing. May we all someday have a "Sweet Melissa" in our lives.
It is amazing to me how many lives this band has touched. My daughter Jessica is named from their song. I listen to their music every day of my life and it never gets old to me. Looking at all the comments I can see I'm not alone. Thank God there are people in this world that still can appreciate what this group has brought to this world.
I played this song for my daughter the other night.She said I always thought they were black.Greg had a lot of soul. Dicky Betts and Warren are amazing
I was born Sept. 1972..and adopted by my loving parents in Oct. 1972. I always knew my father chose my name, but it wasn't until recently he told me why. It was because of this song.
The single greatest live acoustic performance I have ever seen - I saw this live on the Dennis Miller show many years ago and was just overwhelmed when I found it on RUclips so that I could enjoy it once more. The Allman Brothers were, quite simply, the best band of that generation (and in my opinion, the best ever). There were others louder, more theatrical, more explosive, but NONE more talented. Just listen and you will hear what I mean - simple brilliance.
This performance stands alone in the pantheon of the finest acoustic performances in the history of rock and roll. If you don’t get goosebumps and chills watching this, you better check your pulse. Hats off and high fives to Dickey Betts and Warren Haynes for this HOF performance! It brings tears of joy to my eyes, not to mention pangs of guitar players’ jealousy.
To me this epitomises the ultimate in acoustic guitar playing experience. Not only are they highly skilled but it is also extremely satisfying to listen to. Not much not to little.The best.
I LOVE THAT SONG FOR MANY REASON'S ONE IT'S THE SONG MY SON FATHER TRYED TO SING TO ME ALL THE TIME EVEN THOE HE DID NOT KNOW HOW TO SING . BUT NOW THAT HE IS IN HEAVEN IT'S THE ONLY TIME I CAN REALLY HEAR HIM SING TO ME NOW FOR IT'S BEEN SO LONG SENSE HIS PASSING I CAN'T EVEN REMEBER HIS VOICE NO MORE SO I PUT HIS FACE TO THE SONG AND STILL FEEL THE LOVE HE TRYED TO SING TO ME . GOD I MISS YOU TUCKER D . PROUD TO HAVE HAD YOU FOR THE SHORT TIME THAT I DID THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR OUR LITTLE BOY . GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU MY ANGLE LOVE . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MALISSA
the story of how Gregg decided on the name Melissa in the song is deeply wonderful and highlarious,,,,and i love how Dickey and Gregg high-five right after the last note....nothing like 'em
Love the Allman Brothers. Saw them so many times live. Unbelievable experience. Pure musicians. None of this crap like nowadays. I pity those who missed out. We had the best music.
@cacornhusker2940 you're good. I'm probably a lot older than you and at the time hung out with ppl older than me so went to a lot of great concerts when I was young. I loved the Allman Brothers from the first time I heard them in the late 60s. Duane was my favorite, and when he died, I mourned for weeks. Back then (the 70s), you could get into concerts for just a few dollars. I recall seeing them twice at the Fillmore East and even saw them for free in NYC in Central Park in '71. It was just such a different time, and sadly, those days and those amazing bands are gone. Thankfully, we still have their music to enjoy. Take care and keep rockin'!
@@CynVee Thank You Cyn, but i was 10 in '70 so, you're not that much older than me? My oldest brother is +9 years and sis is +7 years and they spun 45's during the 60's and then albums in the 70's so i was hooked on music at an early age. Great time and So many memories that are starting to fade. i was raised in a musical Family, we all played instruments, i did the cover band in the 80's during college and No lie, I busted out the Trusty Gibson Acoustic and played Melissa tonight, Wish I could sing. And yeah, I have to keep Rockin'....it's the only thing that keeps me young AND SANE when Depression abounds. God Bless to you and yours.
@@cacornhusker2940 God bless you too. My older brother turned me on to a lot of great music too. I used to sneak in his room and listen to his hifi. We don't play instruments but always loved music. Remember Sing Along with Mitch 😆 my nephew is a lead guitarist and played with a lot of bands in LA including at the Viper Club, etc. Don't let life get you down. There's still plenty of life left in our old bones 😎 All the best!
I grew up back in Guatemala, and every time i'm listen this song bring me back to my childhood back home, even do i been living here for the past 40 years...You may think that i'm crazy but i play this song every day....There is so much into this song..Thank you to the Allman Brothers for bringing happiness to my heart....Gracias de todo corazon..
Not true, Warren Haynes - Warren Haynes (born April 6, 1960) is an American musician, singer and songwriter. Haynes is best known for his work as longtime guitarist with The Allman Brothers Band and as founding member of the jam band Gov't Mule. Early in his career he was a guitarist for David Allan Coe and The Dickey Betts Band.
"I said, other people can write songs, let's see if I can. So the first 400 or 500 wound up on the floor somewhere. Then I wrote one called Melissa..." ----RIP, Gregg Allman
dude, (or dudette), this is one of the best, recorded duets ever, then you take into account, its accoustic, AND LIVE, amazinig, utterly amazing. gr8 song to begin with, then i came across this recording
real music forever Well, one can look at Peter Green and Danny Kirwin in early Fleetwood Mac, or Eric Clapton and Dwayne Alman in Derek and the Dominos.
...when that arm comes reaching across all the time, feuds, miles so many years and greg takes that rather twisted but beautiful hand shake....I lost it. My girl had come out hearing mom play Allman Brothers ( waiting for me to play Blue Sky because I raised her telling her this was how she makes me feel) . She looked over and saw the tear sliding down my face and asked what's wrong. I told her it was a tear because sometimes beauty is too much to hold inside. Bless The Allman Brothers, they are proof that as long as we never give up on each other, understanding and forgiveness is possible. LOVE always finds a way.
Wonderful seeing old Gregg Allman & Dicky Betts again. First saw the Allman Brothers in '73 at San Francisco's Winterland. Nice memories; a wonderful song for them to be playing, Thanks for posting this ...
Lissa, your dad must have been awesome to name you after THE BEST song in history! I was born 8 days b4 him. I see he passed on his 52nd b'day. Keep his memory alive, God bless U!
i think this the absolute best and most pure version of this song. the timing, the guitar solos, the bass line, the in-verse guitar work, its all just brilliant.
ohmygawd, the first time i saw this video i cried and cried. It so reminds me of the guys i ran around with when i was a teen in the '70's. Course they were older than I. Hippie good ol' boys who could play guitar, mandolin, and slide like no one's business. They could've walked up on this stage and fit right in with these guys. Geez I miss those days so much. I can't believe how sweet it was, how good we had it. Smoking pot and laughing in the back of an old pickup at a drive-in movie. In a row boat tied to Bob's dock, listening to Bob picking on a mandolin, on a warm summer night, a wash of stars sauntering across the night sky. Laughing as we all sang along with the Beatles, high on acid or mescaline out at their house, named the Pig Farm. Not the one in CA, but filled with incense, laughter, good friends and music nontheless. And young men. All with long hair, osh kosh overalls that hugged their backsides just so.. Umph! Sigh... yep, I'd give almost anything. Forgive my waxing nostalgic. Say, does anyone know if that is Betts and Trucks on the guitars? Damn that is some good playing.
Tell me that if Duane would have had a chance to see this he wouldn't be proud... and wouldn't get goosebumps! I gotta watch this at least once a week.
I too was named after this song....My daddy was on his way to the hospital and heard this song....I was supposed to be Elizabeth...but he said he heard this and I would always be his Sweet Melissa......I am very close to my dad and I am soo sorry for you lose...God Bless you!!!!
Grew up on the Allman Brothers. I was born and raised and live in SoCal but my parents were from the South. Guess in my heart and soul I'm a Southern boy. Maybe it's me but I have always seen the hurt and pain in Gregg's eyes from losing his brother Duane. Rest in Peace Gregg, you and Duane are together again. Thank you both for the happiness your music brought me.
Every time this song comes across the radio, it just stops me cold and I have to listen to the whole thing. It's so beautiful. Hauntingly so. I love the "Almond Brothers," as my mom used to call them. Well, she tried, huh? ;-)
soy sudamericano, y la música de Allman Brother suena en mis oidos como si fuera mia. Los conocí tarde durante los 80, pero cuando los oí por primera vez sentí como si siempre los hubiera escuchado, sus acordes siempre me llevan a los maravillosos 60, a la vida de campo, la paz de esos años, lo telúrico, son una inspiración para mi, la mejor banda norteamericana.
you have a very compassionate face I am not surprised, Greg, said that to you.These are the gift's the music makers give us,memories.All the ones the Allman Bros gave me could fill my struggled life with gratitude.
When this came out, it was called Rock. But today one can easily see Country influences. Despite being Rock, definitely more Country than 90% of the NuCountry of the 2010s which can only be heard on mp3 thru Smart Phones which is about as comfortable to listen to as putting ice needles thru yr ear thru to the other side. But this is beautiful.
Thankyou David. Very well said. I loved gregg's voice the first time I heard it and to have a chance to see him live was a blessing in it's own. I never imagined we would exchange words. I married my boyfriend that took me to see Gregg. He felt quite proud that evening. lol
always loved greg one time i was on a train going to see my new grand son i played this song straight nine hours riding that rail just something so fascinating riding that train and hearing this song then I got to see my grandson I cried
Nothing fake here. These are pure musicians. Growing up in the 70's was an absolute blast when rock was rolling. Thanks for a great post.
My dad passed away last night and this was our father daughter dance at my wedding. I will remember him ever time I hear this song. Love you dad
God rest his soul. Powerful picture you painted. Thank you for sharing your story and courage. If we could all leave behind something like that, the world would be better for it.
Hi Mel, sorry for your loss, but hold on to those wonderful memories of your father, and that special day with him at your wedding.
So very touching. God bless you both during this sad time.
Hello, may I offer my sympathy, and I would also like to ask his name, but I understand if you'd rather not say.
Mel, so sorry to hear about your father. May you find comfort in all the memories. God Bless.
EVERY time I listen to this I get goosebumps when Dickie and Warren start playing together. Maybe the best acoustic performance on RUclips. Thanks for posting!
An amazing acoustic performance...Gregg's soulfoul offering...Dickie's and Warren's licks just dance together...couldn't be better.
One of their many ballads that got us through the 70's. Talent, talent, talent.
Rest in peace Gregg Allman. Thanks for rockin' the World for nearly 50 years.
Takes me back to childhood ! love it !
Love this song...Beautiful and so perfect in every way!! Voice and guitar~Gregg and Dickey~extraordinary!! RIP Gregg and Duane...Much Love always!! ❤🙏🌈🌠🙏♥️
Laying here killing time after major back surgery, and I am just so thankful God, and my wonderful wife Melissa are here to get me through this!!!!
Without doubt the finest southern rock band ever. Never to be matched. Todays country bands who think they can jam & play have no idea what that means. This performance is just mesmerizing. May we all someday have a "Sweet Melissa" in our lives.
rocknrollf
It is amazing to me how many lives this band has touched. My daughter Jessica is named from their song. I listen to their music every day of my life and it never gets old to me. Looking at all the comments I can see I'm not alone. Thank God there are people in this world that still can appreciate what this group has brought to this world.
I played this song for my daughter the other night.She said I always thought they were black.Greg had a lot of soul. Dicky Betts and Warren are amazing
I was born Sept. 1972..and adopted by my loving parents in Oct. 1972. I always knew my father chose my name, but it wasn't until recently he told me why. It was because of this song.
Melissa Thomas hi
Love this song glad you got the name.
Knew the man personally along time ago... Just a few years after you were born. Bless them all.
Awesome!!!!❤
such a beautiful tribute to your name
Lynda Vega u so lucky such a beautiful person
skill level on this one just off the charts...the depth of emotion, too...Put in time capsule, show future generations how it is done...
Robert Mucci .I agree.
well put indeed. this is a killer take
The single greatest live acoustic performance I have ever seen - I saw this live on the Dennis Miller show many years ago and was just overwhelmed when I found it on RUclips so that I could enjoy it once more. The Allman Brothers were, quite simply, the best band of that generation (and in my opinion, the best ever). There were others louder, more theatrical, more explosive, but NONE more talented. Just listen and you will hear what I mean - simple brilliance.
Dedicated to a sweet little girl from Texas, who came into my life one night and forever changed me. Thank you doll!
This performance stands alone in the pantheon of the finest acoustic performances in the history of rock and roll.
If you don’t get goosebumps and chills watching this, you better check your pulse.
Hats off and high fives to Dickey Betts and Warren Haynes for this HOF performance!
It brings tears of joy to my eyes, not to mention pangs of guitar players’ jealousy.
As long as I can listen to this song the rest of the world doesn't matter.
I grew up in the Woodstock days and the allman brothers are still one of my favorite bands. Barry Shulman.
Great song listen to sweet melissa by the Allman Brothers.
By far the best version.
To me this epitomises the ultimate in acoustic guitar playing experience. Not only are they highly skilled but it is also extremely satisfying to listen to. Not much not to little.The best.
I love the work at the end, with Dicky and Warren, whole thing is amazeing, i watch/listen to this at least once a week!
Edward Morris - me too (among a few other life songs), adjusts surroundings to what matters...
Me too. You still listening?
Beautiful acoustic version of one of the greatest songs of the 70's! Greg and Dickie, hard to beat!
This song is on the "To be played" list at my memorial service. I've always loved it.
I LOVE THAT SONG FOR MANY REASON'S ONE IT'S THE SONG MY SON FATHER TRYED TO SING TO ME ALL THE TIME EVEN THOE HE DID NOT KNOW HOW TO SING . BUT NOW THAT HE IS IN HEAVEN IT'S THE ONLY TIME I CAN REALLY HEAR HIM SING TO ME NOW FOR IT'S BEEN SO LONG SENSE HIS PASSING I CAN'T EVEN REMEBER HIS VOICE NO MORE SO I PUT HIS FACE TO THE SONG AND STILL FEEL THE LOVE HE TRYED TO SING TO ME . GOD I MISS YOU TUCKER D . PROUD TO HAVE HAD YOU FOR THE SHORT TIME THAT I DID THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR OUR LITTLE BOY . GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU MY ANGLE LOVE . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MALISSA
Your words made me smile today. Thank you.
the story of how Gregg decided on the name Melissa in the song is deeply wonderful and highlarious,,,,and i love how Dickey and Gregg high-five right after the last note....nothing like 'em
This song takes me into fields of laughter and love...I want to name my daughter Melissa after this if I have one, to my future daughter, I love you.
Omg i love this man
American music would be nothing without Southern artists. Brilliant. Just brilliant.
Love the Allman Brothers. Saw them so many times live. Unbelievable experience. Pure musicians. None of this crap like nowadays. I pity those who missed out. We had the best music.
i never got to see the Allman Brothers and envy is a Sin...Forgive me Lord.

Such a beautiful melodic song. one of my all time favorites!
beauutiful just like YOU !
what a lovely memory..My Dad is currently in hospice... anything by Johnny Cash brings me to tears...Sorry for your loss.
As much of shredder as Duane was, his spirit was with them that night. Best performance of Melissa ever!!!

Really, it does not get any better...I get chills....Sweetest sound ...Best version ....EVER...Dicky "The Best" Betts
RIP SIR AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE MUSIC ALL THESE YEARS. I AM LISTENING TO YOU TODAY RIP GREGG
Dickey, not Dicky

i defy anybody to find 2 masters at guitar than dickie and warren in the same band,with that perfect voice of greg.just perfect
dude, (or dudette), this is one of the best, recorded duets ever, then you take into account, its accoustic, AND LIVE, amazinig, utterly amazing. gr8 song to begin with, then i came across this recording

Well, one can look at Peter Green and Danny Kirwin in early Fleetwood Mac, or Eric Clapton and Dwayne Alman in Derek and the Dominos.
Or Jerry and Bob
MICK AND KEITH
Robert LeBeau Duane.
I can't say enough how much I love this song....And Gregg Allman 💜
his first tune which we completed at the age of 17. such a marvelous piece - came after some 300 failed attempts. was worth the hard work😊
E' un brano che suscita emozioni nostalgiche, dolcissimo e bellissimo!
And in a snap, 40 years disappear, in my Uncles listening/ recording room hearing this for the very first time. Have loved it ever since.
whole lotta southern musically gifted royalty on this acoustic set makes me cry every time what a blessing stunning bellezza .28 nyc
Named my youngest sister after this song. Her wedding is in July and I might tear up when this is played. Love my sweet Melissa
If I could count the times this has brought me back from the edge . thank you God ...
...when that arm comes reaching across all the time, feuds, miles so many years and greg takes that rather twisted but beautiful hand shake....I lost it.

I got goosebumps reading your post! (and thinking of what you said, of course!)
Rock Legend Films what is that jam!!!
he would smile for sure and maybe he'd say... nice work brothers, lets get to another....thanks Oz
Kick ass unplugged version of an amazing song.
RIP, Gregg Allman. Your music was the soundtrack of my youth. This one hurts.
I've been trying. To find this Song for Decades
My Fave Allman Brothers Song... LUV' IT!
There will never be anything to come close to this trio or song .....ever
113 people obviously doesn't know or understand what real music and raw god giving talent is, Little on appreciate it. I am sorry that you don't.
224 NOW
My friend Sweet Missy just passed away, this song means so much every time I hear it or just sing it to myself :(
I too was named after this song....My daddy was on his way to the hospital and heard this song....I was supposed to be Elizabeth...but he said he heard this and I would always be his Sweet Melissa......I am very close to my dad and I am soo sorry for you lose...God Bless you!!!!
It could have been in memory of Elizabeth Reed
Named my daughter after this song in 1982...still love it today.
Grew up on the Allman Brothers. I was born and raised and live in SoCal but my parents were from the South. Guess in my heart and soul I'm a Southern boy. Maybe it's me but I have always seen the hurt and pain in Gregg's eyes from losing his brother Duane. Rest in Peace Gregg, you and Duane are together again. Thank you both for the happiness your music brought me.
RIP LEGEND. Gregg Allman 12/8/47-5/27/17 💔
finally a song with my name
my sweet mellissa was born 5 21-88 and I did name,her from this song eat a peach awesome music
I absolutely love this version of the song. So incredibly talented.
Melissa, you have been blessed! Such a song!
Talk about that ' high lonesome sound'. It just gets right into you without even trying. Awesome. Awesome.
This was during the "unplugged' craze of the early 90s. Unlike a lot of bands, these guys could actually pull it off and make legit acoustic music.
a finer tribute to one of the greatest guitar players, and a brother, you cannot find.
Every time this song comes across the radio, it just stops me cold and I have to listen to the whole thing. It's so beautiful. Hauntingly so. I love the "Almond Brothers," as my mom used to call them. Well, she tried, huh? ;-)
Passion and Emotion!! Roll on Greg with this beautiful song and tribute to your bro and unforgettable Melissa
Gregg Allman always positive energy and Rocks
Michiganrocker Love Gregg Allman and Allman Bros. Greggs vocals just exude such soul, heart, pain and beauty
RIP Greg. Thanks for all the great tunes!
soy sudamericano, y la música de Allman Brother suena en mis oidos como si fuera mia.

you have a very compassionate face I am not surprised, Greg, said that to you.These are the gift's the music makers give us,memories.All the ones the Allman Bros gave me could fill my struggled life with gratitude.
Dickie Betts, Warren Hayes & Gregg Allman ! Wish you guys could play
2 gether forever.
GOD ALMIGHTY!!!- thanx so much for posting this AMAZING CLASSIC. This is the best and most beautiful version.
Thank you Allman brothers.for the many years of great music. You guys were the best and may Gregg rest in peace, We'll miss you.
Melissa is my name it made it to fame and thanks for the Allman Brothers it will live on forever praise glory
When this came out, it was called Rock. But today one can easily see Country influences. Despite being Rock, definitely more Country than 90% of the NuCountry of the 2010s which can only be heard on mp3 thru Smart Phones which is about as comfortable to listen to as putting ice needles thru yr ear thru to the other side. But this is beautiful.
Paul Hoffmann - "ice needles," great stuff.
Can I use that?
extraordinary talents w/ 3 guitar invention
I have to learn this one! Truly one of the greatest songs by one of the greatest bands EVER!
The Allman Brothers Band - Melissa - 1992
Sweet song of sweet Melissa , Excellent
So grateful I was able to see Greg and these guys play live. Sigh, that voice. Thank you for the beautiful music, Greg Allman. RIP
God, I could listen to this the whole day and not get bored....
i feel lucky and so warm listening to this beautiful song. moving is the right word...
didn't finish. Great music. Thank God you put out great music
A partir de hoy, me voy a llamar: Melisso.
Enorme canción. Me encanta.
I've had some great times listening to the guys jamming. .. don't get no better. groovy man!!! NC
Thankyou David. Very well said. I loved gregg's voice the first time I heard it and to have a chance to see him live was a blessing in it's own. I never imagined we would exchange words. I married my boyfriend that took me to see Gregg. He felt quite proud that evening. lol
always loved greg one time i was on a train going to see my new grand son i played this song straight nine hours riding that rail just something so fascinating riding that train and hearing this song then I got to see my grandson I cried
My son is watching them in concert right now,here in Massachusetts:) Always have loved this song
These guys are why we named our daughter Melissa. Incredible.
of all their great songs, this one has to be my favorite. Beautiful!
There is really nothing in this world that is perfect..But this comes as close as u can get!
Pure nectar.....Thank you, Oz
