Duane Allman, the lead/slide guitarist, also worked as a studio musician. He played with the likes of Clarence Carter, King Curtis, Aretha Franklin, Laura Nyro, Wilson Pickett, Otis Rush, Percy Sledge, Johnny Jenkins, Boz Scaggs, Delaney & Bonnie, Doris Duke and jazz flautist Herbie Mann. And all of this before he died at the age of 24. Just amazing.
Instrument for instrument, perhaps the most talented and gifted band in rock history, and they were the first "American" rock band to ever incorporate the use of double drummers, where both Butch Trucks and Jaimoe excelled in keeping the rhythm section tight as hell. Berry Oakley an incredible bass player, Greg Allman I've said many times the greatest white blues singer ever, and if ever there was a more formidable combination of dual guitarists this talented in Duane Allman & Dickey Betts in another band anywhere, I can't remember it, and I'm pretty fucking old now. Bandleader Duane Allman knew the talent that had come together in that band. That's why after the first time they had all jammed together for a number of hours, Duane Allman walked over to the door, spread his arms across the entrance, and told all the brothers that if anyone there didn't want to be in his band they were gonna have to fight their way out of the room through him. That story has been told by one or more of the brothers for many years.
Saw an interview with Bill Bob Thorton and he said the two most influential bands were the Beatles and the Almond Brothers that both created a sound that no one else was doing. I agree with him
Harry B yet ABB are so fuckin underrated outside the south , it burns my soul when I hear them and still a lot of people don’t know about them , this is why I don’t like about the new generation( I am one of them too ) , this is why the world is at a wrong route , listening to Ariana grande , Selena Gomez , the Lils and the pussies , ppl are not appreciating lyrics as much as the sound behind how can they not be touched by the lyrics of these gods , the titans , all hail ABB
Saw them live in Jacksonville, FL in about 1988 or so. Outdoor festival, natural amphitheater shaped ground where everyone lay down their blankets and baskets and grooved to the Allman Brothers. Damn that was one of the best I've ever been to. And being outdoors the acoustics were great, not too loud because it's open. Walk off into the shadows for a smoke and back for more.
They were my and my late husbands favorite group! We followed them from the beginning and loved everything that they put out. One of our favorite songs was Melissa ❤️.
Just found your channel! Ahhh yes The Allman Brothers. Back then I had a crush on Dicky Betts. I saw them at Madison Square Garden. I believe the year was 1972. Jamel, ticket prices back then were around $6.50 per person. I still have many of my ticket stubs and many original LP’s from the 1970’s. My gosh the time has flown by. I am in my mid 60’s now. I miss those days. I hope you see my comment 😊
That is Duane playing the first solo. He also played the beautiful solo on Layla with Eric Clapton. They were very good friends and admired each others guitar playing. A few months before he died Duane and Eric were talking and Duane said," You know Eric I;m almost there, I've almost got this guitar mastered. I don't even have to look anymore I just think of the melody I want to play and my hands just go there and do it," There are even longer and better versions that go 22+ minutes and they really take out into the deep water. But on some versions what will really bake your biscuits is you hear them start right into a 20-30 minute version of Mountain Jam based loosely on the Donavan song "First There Is A Mountain". You can't believe it until you hear it happen. A 22+minute jam followed I mean right now follow by a 20-30 minute jam of another song. So you have a ways to go before you really understand how good these guys were. But your gettin' there. Thanks for doing what you've done it is appreciated.
You would love Little Feat. Hands down one of the greatest live bands ever.....and sadly one of the most underrated. So glad that I found your channel.
Greg Allman always said he imagined they were a blues band more than a hippy band or a rock band. They say Southern Rock was invented at tge Mussell Shoals, AB studios when Duane Allman showed up for session work with a pup tent and hung out in the parking lot hoping to get asked to help out. Wilson Pickett was there and Duane suggested to WP that he cover "Hey, Jude" - by the time the song morphed into how it finished, some say Southern Rock was born. Good one to add to your prospect list. Pretty sure you'll be blown away. Try to find the session video, if you can, to see it is to fully feel it.
Allman Brothers formed in Jacksonville Florida. But your just scratching the surface of all of the great Music from there. You should check out the other great acts from there. Trust me ;-). Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird. Molly Hatchet - Fall of the peace makers. JJ Grey and Mofro - Lochloosa ( live ). Blackfoot - Highway Song. 38 Special - Fantasy Girl. Tedeshi Trucks Band - Midnight in Harlem. Shinedown - Simple Man ( Skynyrd Cover ) and The Classics IV - Stormy. Thats one of my fav songs from each band but there is so much more! Take a trip to Jacksonville's music scene. Thanks for all of the great reactions you do!
The reason 2 drummers works is that Butch Trucks, white guy, is a rock drummer and Jaimoe, black guy, is a jazz drummer. BTW Butch Trucks is Derek Trucks uncle.
@@yellowharley1 you're correct however this explains why I learned it as call and answer. From Wikipedia " Part of the band poses a musical "question", or a phrase that feels unfinished, and another part of the band "answers" (finishes) it. In the blues, the B section often has a question-and-answer pattern (dominant-to-tonic). similar question-and-answer exchange occurs in the movie Casablanca between Sam and the band in the song "Knock On Wood": CALL: Who's got trouble? RESPONSE: We've got trouble! CALL: How much trouble? RESPONSE: Too much trouble!"
The white drummer, the late Butch Trucks, was the uncle of guitarist Derek Trucks, who played in a later incarnation of the band. This 2003 video has a good sampling of Derek's slide guitar playing (1st solo). The singer and the drummers are the same, though Butch has less hair : ruclips.net/video/JpAG_He3mI4/видео.html
As most know, this isn't even the best version which is on the actual original live double album. This is the version that they have footage off. The other version is probably 10 minutes longer and better all around, especially the solos which are truly legendary. They were at the Fillmore for a few nights and that was the night they were on their game like possibly never ever before or again.
Allman Brothers are one of my favorite bands. I dig the hell out of your reactions to em. To me they're one of those bands that sounds more in unison with one another then most other bands. Are you on twitter?
Yep. the first time I ' got ' hero guitar, coming from full strength Jr. high Beatlemania > then into more exploratory ' Dark Star', ' Machine gun' etc.
Doing great Jamel! I'm gonna throw in a foul tip out of left field here- if you've never heard of Justin Johnson, he's a smooth blues man. Try out "Juke Joint Jammin", and see how this guy plays a room. Good ol' slide guitar. I'm not listening to anything else these days.
Now.......fast forward to 2014, the last year of the band, and Derek, Warren, Oteil, and Marc have joined Butch, Jaimoe, and Greggory. Still the ALLMAN BROTHERS!! Some great close up camera work here......when Derek slings off his slide at the 4:40 mark, you know it's on! ruclips.net/video/Rx_UaQx5eZQ/видео.html
Jamel, you should listen to " In memory of Elizabeth Reed " from the same album ! I think it's better than whipping post, the leads are just incredible and the bass played by Berry Oakley is superb - it will blow your mind !!!!
Marshall Tucker band doing can't you see live in 73 or black sabbath live doing war pigs 77 in Paris lynrd Skynyrd doing freebies live in Oakland and last but not least metallica doing sandman live in Russia 😃🇨🇦
This is the original lineup at their peak. I feel blessed that I came up in this era because all the music was such a blend of different styles that it gave me an appreciation of all kinds of music. Peace.
@@blondelebanese9922 I would have said Avicii, but he was taken too soon too :(. Airborne Toxic event comes to mind for a similar style. If you're into something harder try Volbeat or some of Shinedown (tho admittedly they go back and forth between hard and....softer? not sure how to quantify songs like crow chasing the butterfly)
Duane Allman (the first guitarist seen) only lived 24 years, I'll never understand how he got so good so soon, and it's impossible to imagine how much better he would've been had he lived longer. do Stormy Monday from Fillmore East!
If you want to see how Duane would have been if he had lived, you gotta check out Derek Trucks. It's not a 1-1 comparison but his slide playing is almost unbelievably fluid. Tedeschi Trucks Band!
@@bagmanh6120 i agree and have been a huge fan of Derek's for years now, he's the nephew of Allman Bros. drummer Butch Trucks(R.I.P.), and a former Allman Bros. member
The only time I ever went to a concert with a parent was with my father for the Allman Brothers. He liked them even more than I did, knew all of their music, he had all their albums. Yup sometimes parents can be cool.
P.A. Stewart Also have taken my daughters in grown years, to see Jimmie Vaughan at Antone’s but also Amos Lee, Gary Allan, Dale Watson, Kevin Fowler, etc. Also took one daughter and my grandsons to se Los Lonely Boys back in February 2003. They were 8 and 11. We sat where we saw them coming into arena and while they were in VIP. It was about the kids and they especially love Onda. Who wouldn’t?
Duane had done it all by the time he died at the young age of 24. He played with Aretha Franklin, King Curtis, BozSkaggs, Otis Rush, Clarence Carter, Wilson Picket, Lulu, Ronnie Hawkins, Cowboy, Delany and Bonnie, Herbie Mann, Eric Clapton, Derek and the Dominos and so many others. R.I.P. Duane Allman.
Brutha on the drums was Jaimoe Johanson. He played for Otis Redding. I really miss ABB. Skydog was a genius, and Gregg's VOICE! Thankfully, their music lives on.
In 1970 we heard this group called The Allman Brothers was going to play on the lawn at U of Miami, went and from the first sound I was blown away like I never heard music before. Ground breaking to say the least. If you can listen to their final performance from the Beacon
Preach. While they are Southern Rock, to me they are an entity unto their own. They put you in a place, time, and headspace that makes it hard to segue from, just like Steely Dan and Pink Floyd.
Your reactions are priceless, seeing someone become a fan, with such deep appreciation right before our eyes, for music some of us have listened to for almost 50 years, warms the heart... so cool
Mr.Richard I'm one of them old girls that's been listening to ABB for many moons 57 of em.I luv to c Mr.Jamel enjoying what we grew up jamming to.He has honest reactions!!! HONEST.ANd I for one appreciate the hell out of it.God Bless u sir
Dickey would bring the crowd and band to a fever pitch and Duane would fire up the afterburners. Very complex and nuanced rhythmically and deep and wide roots.
Like the "Grateful Dead", They had two drummers playing on two different sets of Drums. Never stepping on each other to be the dominate drummer. It was about the band, not one person. Egos were left in the dressing room.
Adam ant 🐜 had two drummer too Jah Herb Jah love Jah Jerry Jah rastafari praises blessings respectfully Jah Duane Jah sisters Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️
The singer is Greg Allman, the blonde guitar player on the Les Paul is Duane Allman. Two drummers driving the beat, two guitar players. God knows how many tons of talent. There is no BS in your reaction. I can see you're feeling it.
Jaimo! He still plays drums. He’s got his own band and I saw them at The Laidback Fest a year ago or so here in CT along with Peter Wolf, Steve Winwood and Jackson Browne....great show that came out of the players respect for Gregg.
@@jkloftin5872 Duane did, too. He set up and played Otis' "Hay Jude" Muscle Shoals! Duane lit up Sister "A"'s cover of "The Weight" also at Muscle Shoals.
@@westsideflyer7559 , it was Wilson Pickett who did "Hey Jude", not Otis. But Otis manager, Phil Walden, was the man who made things happen so that not only did they come together, but that they became known and eventually flourished. Pickett's version of " Hey Jude" was also where Eric Clapton first heard and appreciated Duane's guitar brilliance, leading Eric to ask him to play on Derek and the Dominos "Layla" album.
I've gotta stop holding my breath, during this song. I can't help it. Just when you think you've been delighted, they bring another plate of musical goodies. It's a cornucopia of sounds, feelings, genres, experiences. I love the call and response between Gregg's vocals and Duane's guitar; they talk to each other so well. Whew! I need a nap. I'm exhausted with joy!
I've heard of these guys but never gotten acquainted until your reactions. So glad I'm getting to appreciate them now. These guys know how to JAM! As someone famous once said, "My damn!" Lol😉
I can still remember pulling up to a stop sign in the SFV of L.A. when a dj reported that Dwayne had been killed in a motorcycle accident. At that time I didn't know the bros from each other. Just that I loved their music. IIRC I was in my 65 GTO?
One of the best live albums ever. An old music executive told me this performance changed the rock industry because NY had gotten into heroin rock where everything was moody and overly loose. Everyone in the NY industry was there this night and heard how great having new rock so dialed in and tight was.
I never get tired of watching and listening to Jaimoe and Butch Trucks playing together. Butch was the freight train, thundering away on the beat, while Jaimoe played all around the beat, adding the syncopated fills and grace notes. There’s nothing in the world as amazing as hearing the Allmans in full cry.
I live in the NYC area so I would make the annual March Madness visit to the Beacon Theater for a show or 2 or 3 every year in the 2000's . When I was in the Beacon's Loge or Balcony I would always watch Jaimoe's playing because you really have to watch what he's doing , which often "looked" like what he's doing shouldn't "fit" what the band was playing , yet it ALWAYS did fit !
The first time I heard this song was covered by a local band I ran lights for back in 1984. The local band did a fantastic job on this. They did the studio version justice. My favorite song by the Allman Brothers. They're taking you to church with the organ, too.
#OldWhiteLady from South Alabama here again, hey Jamal! I love watching you enjoy the old classics! This really took me back. Thank you! As always ❤from South Alabama
You should check out probably their greatest instrumental, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, also from the Fillmore concerts. There's not really a good live video performance that was ever captured, just listen the At Fillmore East audio recording. It's jazz, blues, and rock all perfectly incorporated into one great song. And, it's got a great solo from Gregg on your favorite instrument, the Church Organ! ruclips.net/video/7rQWh62VUHE/видео.html
Best live album ever. FIlmore East, NYC, and I was 18 years old. Spectacular. Sophisticated music, incredible percussive drive from the two drummers and a bass line to die for. Loved your reaction to Dickie Betts (the second guitarist). Imagine, that guy was the SECOND best guitarist in the band.
Duane Allman, the lead/slide guitarist, also worked as a studio musician. He played with the likes of Clarence Carter, King Curtis, Aretha Franklin, Laura Nyro, Wilson Pickett, Otis Rush, Percy Sledge, Johnny Jenkins, Boz Scaggs, Delaney & Bonnie, Doris Duke and jazz flautist Herbie Mann. And all of this before he died at the age of 24. Just amazing.

the Beatles later years were really good stuff
These Southern Hippies were the best. They didnt even realize they started a new genre of music called Southern Rock
The Allman Bros. were more a blues band than anything.
They spawned southern Rock but they were blues,and jazz influenced.Gregg Allman hated the word southern rock
Bikers not hippies. Great either way.
It was NOT southern rock...it was blues influenced by British rock.
blueyzblue 100% agree! Like George Clinton once said “White boys got the blues”!

and without auto tune :-)

So neat that you two shared such a love for music. :)
Duane Allman is in my top 5 guitarist, Greg Allman is in my top 5 singer, and Allman Brothers are in my top 4.
I’ve seen the Allman Brothers Band several times & they never let me down. Those boys brought it every night.
Bought their first L.P. at 13 years old when it came out in November of '69 and it took my breath. No band has ever done that since.
Just love the way you anticipate the chord changes now that you've heard it. Watching you is a beautiful thing.

Their version of Statesboro blues isn't new, but the way they play it just rocks.... with soul
Southern Rock at its best! RIP Greg, Butch, Skydog and Berry.
Actually, they had two drummers, Jai Johanson and Butch Trucks. It was brilliant, really.
Told ya that they would melt ya face. 🎸🎸🎸🎸😁👍👍🤘🤘😁🤘
Now do The Band because they lead the way for The Allman Brothers.

The reason 2 drummers works is that Butch Trucks, white guy, is a rock drummer and Jaimoe, black guy, is a jazz drummer. BTW Butch Trucks is Derek Trucks uncle.
Sometimes wonder if we don't give Dickie enuff credit, Duane's shadow was mighty wide and never went away... he stood toe to toe on this stage..
And thus jam bands were born.

Call and response.

That was my 8track for road trips when I was young.
Your reactions are priceless, seeing someone become a fan, with such deep appreciation right before our eyes, for music some of us have listened to for almost 50 years, warms the heart... so cool
Over 50 years here...
Testify, brother.
Mr.Richard I'm one of them old girls that's been listening to ABB for many moons 57 of em.I luv to c Mr.Jamel enjoying what we grew up jamming to.He has honest reactions!!! HONEST.ANd I for one appreciate the hell out of it.God Bless u sir
Dickey Betts and Duane Allman trading guitar licks with Gregg Allman singing his heart out, can't get much better!
And Gregg on the organ is such a integral part of their jams, it just rounds out the sound. Often forgotten.
Dickey would bring the crowd and band to a fever pitch and Duane would fire up the afterburners. Very complex and nuanced rhythmically and deep and wide roots.
Let's not forget Jaimoe, Butch and Berry. These guys were a powerhouse.
Sad to know Duane would be gone 7 months later. RIP SKYDOG. Thank you for leaving the greatest live album ever recorded
Nope. This was from 1970. Not from At Fillmore East.
I saw this particular configuration twice in 1970, the second time from 20 feet away. I haven't been right since...
Like the "Grateful Dead", They had two drummers playing on two different sets of Drums. Never stepping on each other to be the dominate drummer.
It was about the band, not one person. Egos were left in the dressing room.
Allman Bros blew the Dead away. Just facts.
@@lacm64 that's unkind sister:) did you ever get to see them together? EPIC
@@micsullivan7719 Watkins Glen! I was 15.
Unlike them CSNY boys. 😆
Adam ant 🐜 had two drummer too Jah Herb Jah love Jah Jerry Jah rastafari praises blessings respectfully Jah Duane Jah sisters Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️
RIP Duane and Gregg. No music or talent like this anymore
Respectfully beg to differ. Tedeschi Trucks Band. Hands down.
@@sparrowsings4260 Devon allman
And Butch!!!!
And Berry
The singer is Greg Allman, the blonde guitar player on the Les Paul is Duane Allman. Two drummers driving the beat, two guitar players. God knows how many tons of talent.
There is no BS in your reaction. I can see you're feeling it.
So glad you do live reactions! Makes the music sooo awesome! Allman Bros make your soul moves!!!
The best band ever. They were only 21, 22 years old!!!
Can you imagine being that young and THIS?! They were basically babies
Jaimo! He still plays drums. He’s got his own band and I saw them at The Laidback Fest a year ago or so here in CT along with Peter Wolf, Steve Winwood and Jackson Browne....great show that came out of the players respect for Gregg.
Jaimo "Johani Jaimi" Johnson. A freakin' legend.
Smoked a doobie outside the rookery with him years ago in Macon. Hell of a drummer
Jaimo played with Otis Redding.
@@jkloftin5872 Duane did, too. He set up and played Otis' "Hay Jude" Muscle Shoals! Duane lit up Sister "A"'s cover of "The Weight" also at Muscle Shoals.
@@westsideflyer7559 , it was Wilson Pickett who did "Hey Jude", not Otis. But Otis manager, Phil Walden, was the man who made things happen so that not only did they come together, but that they became known and eventually flourished. Pickett's version of " Hey Jude" was also where Eric Clapton first heard and appreciated Duane's guitar brilliance, leading Eric to ask him to play on Derek and the Dominos "Layla" album.
That song has it all, vocals, musicianship, and soul.
I've gotta stop holding my breath, during this song. I can't help it. Just when you think you've been delighted, they bring another plate of musical goodies. It's a cornucopia of sounds, feelings, genres, experiences. I love the call and response between Gregg's vocals and Duane's guitar; they talk to each other so well. Whew! I need a nap. I'm exhausted with joy!
I think you’d love the early 70’s live version of Chicago’s ‘25 or 6 to 4”...
Terry Kath 😎
Yes, this. The live version is this. Terry Kath gets overlooked.
Have you checked out that Russian band that covers Chicago? Leonid and Friends. Bad Ass shit- ruclips.net/video/9_torOTK5qc/видео.html
@@barrycohen311 Thx man. These dudes are great!
MargaretAnn Stewart yes, we know. I had just suggested the band and the song as one to review in the future.
If you liked that, you should check out Little Feat 'Dixie Chicken'.' But make sure it has the original lead singer Lowell George.
Also can't forget " Fat man in the bathtub"
#RIPLowell
Definitely LITTLE FEAT "Dixie Chicken", also - "Time(live)" by the Chamber's Brothers!!!!
I've heard of these guys but never gotten acquainted until your reactions. So glad I'm getting to appreciate them now. These guys know how to JAM! As someone famous once said, "My damn!" Lol😉
I can still remember pulling up to a stop sign in the SFV of L.A. when a dj reported that Dwayne had been killed in a motorcycle accident. At that time I didn't know the bros from each other. Just that I loved their music. IIRC I was in my 65 GTO?
You should also listen to Marshall Tucker Band and some .38 Special. Allman Bros. we're the best but the other two had some good songs you'd like.
One of the best live albums ever. An old music executive told me this performance changed the rock industry because NY had gotten into heroin rock where everything was moody and overly loose. Everyone in the NY industry was there this night and heard how great having new rock so dialed in and tight was.
I never get tired of watching and listening to Jaimoe and Butch Trucks playing together. Butch was the freight train, thundering away on the beat, while Jaimoe played all around the beat, adding the syncopated fills and grace notes. There’s nothing in the world as amazing as hearing the Allmans in full cry.
I live in the NYC area so I would make the annual March Madness visit to the Beacon Theater for a show or 2 or 3 every year in the 2000's . When I was in the Beacon's Loge or Balcony I would always watch Jaimoe's playing because you really have to watch what he's doing , which often "looked" like what he's doing shouldn't "fit" what the band was playing , yet it ALWAYS did fit !
There is only one thing as amazing.
Nice break down clamp down Babylon Jah Herb Jah love Jah Jerry Jah rastafari praises blessings respectfully Jah Duane Jah sisters Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️
The first time I heard this song was covered by a local band I ran lights for back in 1984. The local band did a fantastic job on this. They did the studio version justice. My favorite song by the Allman Brothers. They're taking you to church with the organ, too.
You gotta do the Allmans - One Way Out - at Fillmore East! Thank U!
Allman Bros were the ultimate jam session band. They could take a five minute song, and jam it out for half an hour. RIP Greg and Duane 🎸☮️🙏
So could Rare Earth...
heard them around 1970 do a long jam of Donovan's "Mountain song", it was epic.
"First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is..." Donovan
Any band can sound good in studio. The real talent kicks it Live!
#OldWhiteLady from South Alabama here again, hey Jamal! I love watching you enjoy the old classics! This really took me back. Thank you!
As always ❤from South Alabama
👋🏾🧔🏾
Cyndi Jones , I'm in LA too. ; )
You should check out probably their greatest instrumental, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, also from the Fillmore concerts. There's not really a good live video performance that was ever captured, just listen the At Fillmore East audio recording. It's jazz, blues, and rock all perfectly incorporated into one great song. And, it's got a great solo from Gregg on your favorite instrument, the Church Organ! ruclips.net/video/7rQWh62VUHE/видео.html
Absolutely agree. In fact, I just played it after watching this video.
Anything from Fillmore is awesome.
Live At The Fillmore...my desert island album...best live album ever! Especially love In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, still puts me in a trance!
That one was 22+ minutes and unreal
Hands down.
Best live album ever. FIlmore East, NYC, and I was 18 years old. Spectacular. Sophisticated music, incredible percussive drive from the two drummers and a bass line to die for. Loved your reaction to Dickie Betts (the second guitarist). Imagine, that guy was the SECOND best guitarist in the band.
SOUTHERN ROCK BABYYYYYY🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🔥🔥
Please, please One Way Out, live at Fillmore. They show the infamous coriciden bottle used as a slide by Duane.
Check out the Slide king, played with Eric Clapton on Layla.. Mr. Duane Allman
I've seen this many times. One of the best live performances ever. I love the Allman Brothers. Best blues band.
The Allman Brothers Band is the Avengers of Southern Rock. Every member is a superhero in his own right
