- Get ready for this one! This is entertainmemnt at it's finest. This little clip is from back when Cher and Gregg were together and Gregg made a guest appearance on her TV show in 1975. The first song is a duet of Gonna Mess Up A Good Thing, check out Cher's groovy outfit! The second song is Midnight Rider with Gregg performing solo while Cher and her groovy 70's dancers gyrate, in typical 70's style, to Gregg's performance. By now you will probably be A) having an acid flashback, B) tripping down memory lane to the groovy sounds, or C) rolling on the floor laughing hystericaly! Sorry Gregg. I love ya bro, but you gotta admit, this clip is halarious! I'm sorry if I have offended any Cher fans, oh...wait a minute...no I'm not (never have really cared for her). Great video! take a couple of minutes and check it out! Brought to you for your personal education and entertainment from The Rev. Bob Archives.
Oh yeah...Go out and buy some Gregg Allman music. The man has a vast catalogue of material and it's all good (except for that Allman And Woman thing he did with Cher, you can skip that one). Support Gregg whenever you can, go see him live and buy his CD's. He's got a voice any white blues singer would die for. He is another American icon, and been one of my personal heros for many years.

Thankfully, he seems unaware of the awkward dancing, but more focused on the deep intensity of the song... This man's voice was/is amazing, he has so much depth..
One of the greatest blues singers ever. He grew up listening to the blues and admired it. And quite the organ and guitar player. Miss him
Amen Deborah!
I'm sorry but there are many more before him. Don't get me wrong I loved Greg Allman but I could come up with more than him
Midnight Rider gave me the chills then when I saw him on her show & now when I play Allman Brothers music. I'm gonna miss you Gregg! RIP
Wish I could have been a fly on the wall when Cher told him they would be wearing matching sparkling outfits.
Oh hell yeah! Gregg would do pretty much anything for love, but he probably wouldn't want to do that! Jus'sayin.
He loved it
SEE OSAKA JAPAN....YOU WILL SEE A GREGG WHO IS NOT WHIPPED...
How freakin disgusting
That silly shit PEGS MY METER.....not good‼️
I didn't even get acid flashback. Probably have nightmares tonight though.
I guess we've all done something in life we have lived to regret.
I remember watching this show when it originally aired. I always liked "Midnight Rider". Still do.
I'm not sure what the hell he was thinking here..LOL .but I could never get enough of that Gregg Allman voice. So much soul, you just don't know. whew. Cher...forgetabouttit,
Gregg Allman was a pioneer of Southern Rock. I love his music.
Man, he was burning up those keys!
Thank you for posting, this is great and hilarious. Love Gregg and the ABB. His performances are always great even with Cher acting like a fool. I wish she'd just have let him perform. She looks silly dancing and the wig and fringe outfit is cringe worthy.
I remember when they hooked up. It is still hard to believe.
Anything Gregg is soooo fine....best blues voice.....he's been around a long time
My biggest love in musicians..since his first solo album,1974.Was overjoyed to see him in concert,14 times!Large venues to little bars,his music has filled my heart,all my life!!!!❤❤❤🌴🎸🎶
Damn, Cher was nothing but skin and bones back in '75.
My thoughts too. Very underweight
Stick, I think the word you're looking for is stick.
Boney beeaaaach ✌️🤣
Skin, bones, and ego
@@timepoet77 EGO TRIP‼️ She’s total Plastic.....
Gregg is amazing. Cher looks ridiculous.
Ditto.
I bet he was not thrilled abour wearing the matching top with sequin stuff
That stuff does weird things to men
She continues to wear this ridiculous type attire.
I'll check again, but I don't think "This is Tom Jones" was as glitzy as this. Could have learned something from that.
I love this performance by the late Great Gregg Allman and Cher!
I can just see Dickey Betts and the rest of the Allman Bros band at the time at home in their living rooms watching this in disbelief.
gasping in disbelief and muttering WTF
Dickey Betts ended up marrying her best friend and they had a son together.
Duane Betts!
So was Jenny Arness, the daughter of Gunsmoke actor James Arness. Jenny had dated Gregg and still in love with him. She saw him on Cher's show that evening, she wrote her suicide note, took some pills, and was gone.
That was a true what they call D...k ruling your mind lol
Ahhh back when we were all cool! Dig that crazy sax!
Whoever told Cher that bozo wig looked good on her lied.
😆 i was thinking the same thing.
Yeah one of her worst ever looks. Lol
Hilariously embarassing..
Margo Mazzeo
Yes, embarrassing.
Yes, isn't it amazing what a little cocaine and a little leg will make a man do. Cher must've been good at something because her dancing is hysterical. Moving on, I've forgiven Gregg now and he's still one of my personal heros.
Well her talent sure isn't in her dancing. They make great music together!!!
Two words.... ruthless head
@@jrdebossar Good for her! Why is that an insult? All you guys who put her down for being sexy, etc? You should only be so lucky 🍀!
A little coke? What are you a moron. I'll never forgive that rat
@@JaneDoe-ij4ls well she's got rythm unlike a lot of who think they can dance but insist on doing it..or clapping..I was fortunate to see Anne Lennox on my BD @ the Palace uptown and Annie was doing a song on the piano and she stopped in mid-song and politely asked the audience if they wanted to clap in audience participation that they clap in rythm so as not to skew her rythm. It was a very embarrassing and pivital moment for ppl in the hall.
Even tho it was uptown @ the Palace on 175th & Brdway, the audience was not a reflection of ppl who lived up here; which to me is ubfortunate bc Annie embraces, as you might knw, has a prithla of songs that are based in the R&B (Rythm & Blues) style. Unlike a lot of white American musicians she embraced the soulful sound of Americn music growing up in Scotland. But in this video. Cher got rythm...🕴💃🎤🎶
To this day, no way! She dresses Gregg like a freak then tries singin with him! Thank goodness she stayed shut on Midnight Rider!!!!!!! Love ya Gregory 🍄🍑💙
I should have phrased that differently.....she used to TRY to dress Gregg like a freak.....everyone knows The Allman Brothers Band were not about appearance, ALL ABOUT PLAYING THE BEST MUSIC EVER‼️🍄🍑💯🎶♾🔥🔥🔥🔥💫💫💫💫💫💫
Barbarella meets Buckwheat (from the Little Rascals) and goes to Jane Fonda's workout class. Kind of Laugh-In looking, but no laughs. Well, it was the 70s. (But Cher is SO skinny. They must have been the family that got high together)! Still great to hear Greg anytime.
Omg!! That voice!! His voice touches the deep down happy feelings!! He was such a gorgeous guy😍😍😍
The choreography on the other hand was just wrong! Did not need to be there lol
Gregg & Cher's performance here is like a Time Capsule.
dayum. the dancing during midnight rider lol 😂😂😂
Gregg Allman is one of the best keyboard artists of ALL time!!
Sunny Johnson - yes he is, and is self-taught!
I agree but let's not forget BILLY POWELL OF SKYNYRD!!!I LOVE THEM BOTH DEARLY
Gregg is so authentic, a soulful poet. The trimmings were plastic and it was oil and water. BUT it was the 70's. When Cher introduces him his shy forced smile says it all.
I'm sure he just LOVED being put in that shimmery outfit lol
hahahaha I'll bet he did! (not)
He was whipped with a P
Looks like Cher’s B! Just sad
Just what I was thinking 😄😄
Rest in Peace Gregg Allman. He survived the Cher days and came back to make some more amazing music.
Why did he marry American Indian Cher? He must have loved her..
Most people with long American working class bloodlines in the South have some American Indian in their family. @@cayetano-fd6kh
I like the Gregg part. the other half can sit down and zip it. lol!
I'm waiting for weezie and George Jefferson to dance on out
😂😂😂
That’s Freakin hilarious.....George and Weezie‼️😝
Guy Lamson that is hilarious!!! Used to love to watch the Jeffersons, I can see George now sliding around doing his little shuffle 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Lmfao 😂😂
I don't care who you are, now that's funny!
I have loved Gregg Allman since I was 16 and that's how old I was when this was playing
Gregg should’ve been the Midnight RUNNER! As in run for your life. Probably one of his biggest regrets doing this show.
I was feeling pretty good. Now after watching this Im really sick to my stomach
his voice cannot be hidden, even if he looks like he's on star trek
Lol..right..😂😂😂
I remember watching this as a pre-teen. One of my older sisters was a Cher-wannabe. Having older siblings I was introduced to Gregg and the ABB at an early age and I was in awe of his vocals on this rendition of “Midnight Rider.” I remember watching this and was laughing at Cher’s interpretive dancing. I laughed even more after watching my sister trying to replicate her moves while her then-boyfriend did his best Gregg impersonation. Cher’s dancing aside, it was great to hear Gregg sing this again.
Baybro this ain't no goddamn fashion show ! Duane would have been pissed LMAO
He was a handsome, talented man.
Holy holy shit, there's like a jazzercise class going on while the great Gregg Allman is singing Midnight Rider! I can't believe it took me all these decades to know about this. Or maybe I knew but I was hoping it was all a lie! A really really big lie! Or too many drugs on everybody's part and it would just be forgotten like so many things in the 70's. Don't know whether to laugh or cry. Wow.
Such talent! I miss him terribly! I love his music and voice!
Gregg hired a nurse at home to make sure he stayed alive, refused any type of drugs. Came off of alcohol, cocaine, opiates, and cigarettes all at the same time. He gave me the courage to let go of what I was up against! Wish he was alive when I saw the video that inspired me. I would have done most anything to contact him with a very big heartfelt THANK YOU!!!
1975 was a good year,every soldier was comin home from nam.no mo draft
It was the 70’s people. You gotta remember the time that this show took place....jeez
It was an embarrassment even then.
Truth INDEED. It sure wasn't like these years now.Ugh
Her wig wouldn't be cool in any era.
that album they made together was prolly the lowlight of gregg's career musically. Cher singing on this song is ridiculous.
How on earth did this ever make it past "hey I have an idea!" stage???!!!
Exactly what I was thinking, funny!
I think everybody could see this was the stupidest mismatch ever! Even them! There's an old saying,
" there's no such thing as bad publicity."
Greg’s voice is amazing, his guitar and organ playing is phenomenal. He’s a one man band. RIP Greg Allman.🙏🏽
never gave a fuck about this song at 8 yrs old love it now..cracking up at the cher show rewinds in the late 90s when they had vh1..cher and greg rock
I'm surprised the bars surrounding Skydog's grave didn't shake loose. Cause Duane would have given Gregory a whoopin'
LOL 4 real x 2
Nice version of "Midnight Rider". Had more of a swamp feel than the studio version that had more of a open road feel to it.
Nicely put…I agree.
Too bad it was ruined with that tacky interpretive dancing or lack there of
@@wendiwonderly1419 Cher always had to stick her skinny ass in everything
I think I remember when this aired on TV.
Man I'm getting old.
✌️
This is hilarious. Could they be more mismatched? I guess Cher temporarily lusted after him and he was temporarily blinded by her bling. Greg is a musician and Cher is a performer and their styles are polar opposites.
100rastus he went after her
@@michaelmackes1472 not! I worked for him. Gregg's really shy. She sent her phone number over to his table.
Yep @100rastus! That's about the truth of the matter!
Gregg.
Oh that album though. Allman & Woman was such a disaster. We used to play that to clear the bar out after last call.
He was a Beautiful Man...she was a Freak.
The only silver lining I can think of with this catastrophe is that Duane did not have to see it.
RIP both Gregg and Duane
Nancy H.C. That's an awesome comment.
I love train wrecks. they are exciting :)
TRUTH! ! ! !
No wonder there were drug problems.
Sometimes I think if Duane had survived that bike accident Gregg never would've married Cher.The poor guy was lost after Duane's death.
Well they were married to each other from 1975 to 1979. This performance took place sometime in 1975. She didn't mention they were married they must have got married soon after this it's still easier to watch than John and Yoko
2 weeks after the marriage, Cher filed for divorce, finding she was pregnant they tried to work it out. She sent him through rehab, etc. Gregg hung in until after Elijahs birth. Rehab only works for those who are ready and want to sincerely quit for their own sake. I found Elijah, as an adult, quite sane considering.
At least John and yoko were more successful at marriage
In 75, everyone was high, the Priest, the minister, the candlestick maker, yep, so, now you know.
But not Cher. She musta loved those junkies though. She was with the Average White Band’s drummer when he OD and died at a party.
Thanks for the memories Rev. Bob. Cheers!
I am watching this very TV episode as I type this. The guest stars other than Allman are Carol Burnett and Dennis Weaver. If anyone knows the exact air date of this episode, you can add these names to this show on IMDB. I notice Gregg is wearing a wedding ring here. He got divorced in 1974 then married Cher on June 30, 1975. This show ran 1975-76 so that means he was married to Cher when this was taped. Yet, twice in the show she refers to him, her apparent husband, as her very good friend.
Being a singer/songwriter from Muscle Shoals and working in Nashville I knew Gregory... he never changed. A gypsy soul, with a heart of a poet. Brilliant both as a creative and intellectual. Soft spoken, wicked sense of humor and an Adonis of a man. A true Southern Gentleman. I always loved his comment when incessantly asked about him being married to Cher. "First, SHE was married to ME", which immediately set the tone for the conversation. Also, not wanting to be hurtful, but said he never thought she was a "good singer", and he was relieved that she never asked his opinion. Even bringing her here to Muscle Shoals... I think their album, "Allman and Woman"- even the title was somewhat of an embarrassment. I miss you, Gregory. ❤
05/27/2017 RIP Gregg Allman.
Amen! The world is not the same without him in it.
On the other hand I've always liked the Cher from back in the day, before all that plastic surgery, and when she was with Sonny. I think she was so beautiful natural. however I just never understood the Gregg Cher thing. I think I was so young at the time, and I was upset when Sonny and Cher broke up, about the same time my parents broke up or around that time, maybe that had something to do with my harsh feelings towards Cher. Although I was much too young, I must've been wise back then, because I just never got the Gregg Cher deal. Rest in Peace Beautiful man Gregg Allman. so sad over his passing. Such genuine Soul to him and his voice and music.
I only knew of Gregg Allman because I am a Cher fan. But seeing this clip makes me more of an Allman admirer and I feel sorry for his having to appear on this horrible, cheezy, hacky show. I'm sure he found her fake weird world a challenge in the very least
She's a puppet from hell.Why else would no one since Gregg, want to be Mr. Cher the Third?
Cher’s tacky solo variety show proves what sonny brought to their act. Cher would still be running on a beach somewhere
It wouldn't be so bad if Gregg was really having fun, but he seemed so trapped.
after alllllll these yrs this is one amazing version of Greg performing the CLASSIC midnight rider'. they just dont make em like this anymore said to say...talk bout blurred lines
Gregg, not one person spelled his name correctly on this whole page. The first version with Duane is haunting....
Wowww Cher!!💎💖💖💖💖 What a dance!!🌹🌹🌹Love from Russia ( Caucasus)💖💖💖💖
I worked backstage that night and was simply in awe of how they both performed, given the then circumstances.......we all had a good time, greg and cher both complimented one another's performances.....and kissed over a Coke after each number. I remember each exiting the studio, trying to throw off the press, but ending up in Cher's Mercedes, with Greg driving.
+dale smith THAT would have been really interesting. From what you saw, and know, HOW was it that they got together? They are like chalk & cheese. Right now, I am listening to a radio interview he gave in 1977, where he says that he is in almost every magazine, and that he can not understand how people can" make money off hurting other people", AND that Cher "had someone in a drug store paper clip all the stories and have the magazines sent to her." He said there was "a room full of them". How do people like that get together? What is/was your understanding of it?
this was a great petformance! petiod..haters shut the fuck up!
this was a great petformance! petiod..haters shut the fuck up!
+Susan Giammarino I don't know if you noticed, but my question was directed to dale smith. You are NOT dale smith. I am not interested in what you have to say; which you cannot even do with any intelligence.
Greg Wilson I am... tell us more Dale Smith. this cat was there!
I'll bet Gregg's thinking... 'What the fuck did I get myself into' and 'how do I get out ' ??
He pursued her, what the hell are you talking about?
Yeah and Cher was lucky to get out of the relationship with her health intact; not contracting STDs, AIDS and Gregg's hepatitis C.
Oh fuck you, Cher was a slut.
I guess you would know. It takes one to know one.
I never could figure out their marriage....I remember thinking WTFH is he thinking??? But I had their album and I really liked it....I LOVE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING Gregg does.
oh my gosh, the 70's were something to keep in the memory banks, only!!! but keep them!
this is a hoot. Cher has always been a major talent with humor to boot. I love her over the top fashion sense and beauty. Gregg Alman appears to be having a good time. It was love for awhile...
Mutual infatuation and lust, perhaps.
SEE HER ON HIS SHOW IN Osaka Japan...he is absolutely embarrassed....it was infatuation and he was young and Hollywood is exciting, and he was on TV solo...Shannon was love.
Gregg Allman
Yes I’d forgotten how funny she was on her shows. Especially her own show. She did this offbeat character with cats eye glasses, chewing gum, and this raspy brooklyn accent, i forget the name. I think she was in the laundromat. She was really good as that character.
@@g-girl9867 Thanks for the memories! Laverne was her character 🐈
I think this proves he really loved her
This proved he wanted to be on prime time...this show was HUGE. I watched it on the phone with my girlfriend...my Mom and her friends watched it....everyone wanted to see all of those outfits, her Carol Burnett type skits and, her blues clip...every week, she did a blues song. She had Sonny on several times...
Gregg knew what he was doing there...see them in Osaka Japan, you will see the REAL Gregg surface and NOT play along...
Or was just insane and on drugs at the time. Gregg was a great artist! Is missed
He’s so good. How the hell did he ever get suckered into this? His voice is soulfully beautiful. I love Queen of Hearts.
Gregg was so beautiful, and SHE and her puppets should have stayed out of his "Midnight Rider" I'll bet the rest of his band laughed out loud big time at this, especially Dicky Betts. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Duane from the grave - "Why, Baybro, WHY?????"
Absolutely 😒
anthonyspare LOL, that is EXACTLY what Skydog would be saying to Gregory.
Duane would have boxed his ears!
anthonyspare pussy, why else
look at her bigbro seariously look at her
poor GREGG LOOKS so uncomfortable. They should have let just Gregg sing and leave Cher and those ridiculous dancers out of it.
Never seen this clip before. THANK YOU!
Extraordinary man, Gregg Allman.
Cher looked like a famine victim😶... that dancing (or whatever it was) during ‘Midnight Rider’ was....... rainbow-ish.
My exact thoughts. The guys were definitely 🌈
True though
She looked like a clown too with that hair.
Love his performance of Midnight Rider. Dancing looks like an exercise video.
Yeah ... pretty "trippy" the whole dance sequence - 😳 !
I don't think Cher "got" Gregg
Wow Some bitter comments here bout this performance. ‘Twas the 70’s. Weird staging and goofy clothes, but their singing meshed well together and they had a good time. Fun enuf ;)
What!!!!! Even Gregg said she was a terrible singer. 🤦 Obviously she was only good for one thing. And it wasn't her cooking and singing.
Actually, the "Don't Mess Up..." is pretty cool because Gregg is playing B-3 in real time and it sounds good!
Yeah but....Gregg was still dressed in some stupid outfit!! Ughhhhh
@@cyndeelancaster455 it was the 70s don't forget
@@lovingit4450 shit how could I forget something like that?!?!?!! The Best Times and Good drugs🤣😂😊✌️♾
70’s or not, it’s a known fact Gregg or any of The Brothers were NOT into dressing pretty‼️.
"he's got enough gold records to open up a chain of banks"! love it! and the record Allman and Woman - how good was that title? Loved the Allman Bros since I was a boy. Even in Australia I managed to get an autographed pic of Duanne. thanks for putting this up. Hilarious.
Horrible title, horrible album.
I did not know that Chuck Norris was a dancer on the Cher program.
Jim Saylor OK, I've laughed several times at your comment because that was my first thought when I first got this, Chuck Norris, a dancer??? Oh, and does that thing on Cher's head let her contact the aliens??
This IS crazy, did Chuck start out this way? Wow
👀Maybe that thing on her head is to 👅block any signals from the mind control brain implant that Sonny put in her head in the 60s‼️
wavy gr - Before or after he admitted it was, in fact, him...and yes, Cher has been talking to the aliens for years. Don't believe me? Just look at her wardrobe.
it looks like a ritual dance could be the beginning of what is going on today in the music biz
I didn't realize this reconstructed version of Midnight Rider came about this early.
PS this is like chocolate cake and mustard and frosted flakes cereal all mixed together, topped off with some cayenne pepper and washed down with a drink mix of tomato juice, orange juice and Dr pepper.
Yum yum yum
just great footage
thx
R.I.P Greg miss and love you !
Yea Gregg was fantastic
comalaism
Well by her own admission she asked him to call her. She slipped him a note while she was on a date with someone else.. so take it for what it was.
Greg was hitting that at every chance ...
She made this look like Gregg was just HER background singer, as usual the spotlight was on her. It was stupid. Bet Gregg didn't care for it either, he was a true musician, not bling ad silliness and God I miss him. Love you Gregg. 💖
Gotta love the '70s ... 😜 !
Geez - today social media would be in a total uproar about the "Cultural Appropriation" of Cher's wig --- 😰 --- not to mention so much else in this segment from her show. However, in some ways (many actually) - it was easier to just "be" in the '70s vs. now (2021)!
Life was so much more honest and simpler. ✌️
TC
✌️💟☮️
Funking up the Blues with Cher and Gregg Allman it don't get any better.
Knowing Gregg back in the day - take a look at his eyes - could he get any more stoned. Of course, Cher, would have been oblivious (that is until later on!)
OH I love Gregg but that was very bizarre. They're entertaining styles are so different. Just loved him but... when he got involved with her. Well I didn't get it. Loved Gregg Allman. Glad he got back on track.
Cher almost ruined him. The only good thing to come out of that marriage was Elijah Blue Allman.
Aw come on, Cher was great (and she'd probably be laughing louder than anybody now about this shit).
Jesus why didn't she just let Greg sing?
What a brilliant performance!
made it to 1 minute cant take it
Me neither ! God help us all ! Ha ha ha ha
She tried to package him. I'm glad he escaped.
Yeah, that's the second time he escaped packaging. Have you ever seen the outfits that the record company pushed on the boys in their Hourglass days? You could almost see Duane's soul being drained.
I'm sure Cher couldn't let Gregg do his tune Midnight Rider without the choreography and her being in it, don't get me wrong I've always admired both Artist Gregg and Cher but separately! But the choreography was not necessary.....
