@@KindCountsDeb3773 That statement is not true in the least. Formed in 1969, they have been awarded seven gold and four platinum albums, received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and are included on many 'Best Of" lists.
AMEN listening to the Brothers is truly a religious experience. First time I saw the brothers was 1970. I had the honor of experiencing The Almighty Skydog!!!
@@davidhattman7649 Yes, my cousin was Red Dog (roadie extraordinaire) and I've heard a lot of them. I am glad I got to see Duane and Berry before they passed.
Live version at the "Fillmore East" in 1971 is a MUST. In fact, that album is in the Library of Congress. It is hailed as one of the best, if not THE best, live albums of all time. PS- Whipping Post, "Live at Fillmore East" goes for like 22 minutes. PSS- Gregg was 23 and belted out vocals like a 60 y/o bluesman! Duane was 25. Hell, the entire band was barely old enough to drink.
SRV and Double Trouble Live at the El Mocambo gives it a run for its money; its either this one or that one. But no doubt, this is one of the tippy tops of all live performances 👍
Though it ain't in LoC, there was indeed a show with almost same setlist a month earlier at Filmore West (in SF,CA.) And it's on you tube somewhere, also excellent show...✌️😎
I'm reading Gregg Allman's bio and he wrote this song at 20 !! I thought it was an older, blues song written long ago. It's stellar. Thanks Gregg ! And Berry Oakley was the bass player, his intro.
It freaks me out there are people who haven't heard the Allman Brothers. Missionaries should have been handing out Fillmore East copies everywhere. There should be a copy of Fillmore East in every hotel drawer. Uhhhh yes there is a live version. Can't wait for that. Nobody knows off of Evening with the Allman Brothers, and Elizabeth Reed off of Fillmore, and Mountain Jam. Oh hell just get Eat a Peach..... great video. Thanks
Live at the Fillmore East is the greatest Live album ever produced, hands down...Everything on it is great, but my favorite is Dickie Betts penned masterpiece, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed."
Dickie Betts woke up in a graveyard after a bender in front of a gravestone that said In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, that's where the name of that song came from.
..I think I was about 10 years old (1986) in Croatia ,former Yugoslavia then ..I don't remember if it was a weekend or a weekday, and of course I had the energy and curiosity to wander around and explore my little town around 8-9pm in late summer.. I slowly crept up to the window of the basement in the city center and of course there were several boys, 7-8 years older than me 'rolling' , sipping beers, chilling and listening to records. The sound of that Duane electric guitar and voice of Greg was the discovery of something completely unknown and new for me.. I fell in love with rock and roll, blues, soul... I have never forgotten that first discovery and feeling of listening the gramophone records and Allman brothers music...the stale smell of beer, moisture, 'cigarettes' all-mixed in the basement..😏🤘
Gregg's book really goes into how the band came up with their sound. Really interesting and important. Such a history w/them before they made it. They really worked.
God ! I envy you so much because of the upcoming ride you're about to take. Duane Allman in his short life changed how everyone looked at guitar playing. Good listening , mate !
Well stated, Frank. I remember my introduction to this music when I was 21. 54 trips around the sun now, I'm still digging on them. I can't get enough of Mtn Jam while cruising around in my caddy ragtop!
The guitar on Melissa is not Duane. He had been killed by that time. Melissa was supposedly Duane's favorite song that Gregg wrote so recorded the song. There beautiful guitar you hear on that song is Dickey Betts.
Allman Brothers Band doing anything live is waaayyyyyyy different than their studio stuff. It’s a lot longer and, in my opinion, better. They can jam for basically 3 hours non stop. The album “Live at the Filmore East”, any song but Whipping Post, Statesboro Blues, and Don’t Keep me Wondering are my favorites.
I'm not a big fan of live music, unless I'm AT the concert in person. But you're right about how long they play. The last AB concert I went to was an outdoor concert in 2000, right after Dickey Betts left the band, and they jammed for nearly 4 hours! I was so damned drunk by the end!! LOL
@@PatrolNation but it's just the beginning of The Allman brother catalog. This is real Southern blues. You probably sound like John Lennon did the first time he heard Chuck Berry. You gave us some good music, but it all came from this side of the pond.
Welcome to the low down, grit of Southern Rock! Molly Hatchet - Fall of the Peacemakers and Flirtin’ with Disaster. Allman Brothers signature song is Midnight Rider, a must hear.
Fantastic 👍. Patrol Gaming, if you are new to the Allman Brothers, then you are in for a very pleasant surprise my friend😄. The band is way different now from their original set. They were beset by tragedy, and have had different lineups through the years. Gregg Allman was one of rock & roll's all time great voices!!! Just a fantastic Southern rock band. You can't go wrong with any of their songs: "Jessica", "Statesboro Blues", "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed", "Stormy Monday", "Ramblin' Man". They are all great songs😄. My personal favorite is "One Way Out". Enjoy your research into this fantastic band Pat. Have a great day mate💖.
I play Blue Sky whenever i'm driving (NOT commuting) somewhere and it's a sunny day...it reminds me of Super Mario Bros 2 where all the trees and leaves and mushrooms and the sun and clouds are all dancing back and forth, that's what I picture the scenery doing as I drive and listen to that song lol.
Ain't Wastin' Time No More is my Sunday AM jam but soulshine is great! I usually just put on a complete album. Fillmore or Eat a Peach but I've been really diggin' Idlewild south lately!
If there was only one band I could listen to, it would invariable be the Allman Brothers Band, they have been my favorite band for going on 50 years now, and they will be played as I leave this world along with Van Morrison's "Into The Mystic". So much passion and soul, and to think Gregg was in his early 20'S when he first laid down the vocals to "Whipping Post", other worldly.
@@hobo1958 and Gregg was underrated. He was praised, of course, but should have gotten even more gratitude. Now people are speaking more on it, after he passed people spoke on it reverently
Lovin the Allman bros for almost 50 yrs now. We had great music in late 60s to mid 70s. Many a great song. I recall exactly where I was ,in my car at a stop sign in Valley of L.A. when news came of the death of one of the brothers.
Thrilled next gens are enjoying Classic Rock and Roll. It warms this sixties child's heart to no end! We bequeath it all to YOU! 😍💘💖🎵🎸🎶🎧 . . . Rock on!
IF you want more, make sure it's the orig albums from that era, not just compilations or best hits. They truly started a new sound when they introduced southern rock music to the world. And there are some good books about the band. I'd suggest Gregg's bio, then Duane Allman's daughters book, and Joseph Campbell's ( infamous Red Dog) book, he was their long time roadie and friend. But the music is the base and I do hope you enjoy more. You sound like a true music lover. Want to see more, so I hit the sub button !!!
Thanks for bringing back the memories of my younger days. Nothing like The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Marshall Tucker to get a taste of Southern Rock/Blues. Another band that may have not had the same popularity but had a good sound, was Black Oak Arkansas, especially when they sang with the amazing Ruby Starr. Unfortunately she left us way too early.
They been here all along mate.... now that you have a taste you will never be hungry again for wicked classic rock ! 😎🎸 😉🎹 Check out... Midnight Rider !

You may also want to try Delaney and Bonnie and Friends. It had a variable lineup of "friends" for the long tour. The constants were Eric Clapton and Rita Coolidge. I believe Bobby Whitlock and Leon Russel made most of the tour. Others included Paul McCartney, Duane Allman, Greg Allman, Dave Mason, and possibly Isaac Hayes. At one tour stop it's rumored that their back up guitarists were Clapton, McCartney, and Duane Allman with Greg backing up on keyboard. When they broke up their horn section became the Rolling Stones longtime horns and some of the rest of their band joined Eric Clapton to form Derek and the Dominoes.

Can't believe you haven't heard of them before. definitely listen to the Filmore East album, absolutely brilliant and then some of the live jams actually carry over to Eat A Peach. You've heard Duane Allman before even if you didn't know it. He worked on the Layla album with Clapton and provided all the slide guitar parts. These guys have been around for ages but sadly both Gregg and Duane Allman have died along with Berry Oakley the bass player. But they left an awesome musical legacy
This is southern rock...they are the father and mother of Southern Rock!!! They gave birth to the genre!!! Southern Rock is a combination of blues/rock/country!!! Heavenly leaning (in the case of the Brothers) blues!! 👍 so much great music from the 60's and 70's. Great to see it from someone just discovering it. Now you know how us long haired kids felt back in the day!!!
God I LOVE The Allman Brothers!! Best Southern Rock Band ever!!! I am a new subscriber, my friend! This is an early 1970s band from Florida. I believe this song dates from 1971. I was 14 years old at the time. I attended the same High School they did (not at the same time) Seabreeze Senior High, Daytona Beach, Florida.
My absolute favourite from the Allman Brothers is 'Jessica'. And, if you like extended free-for-all, 'Mountain Jam' from their classic album 'Eat a Peach' is a wonderful thing.
They have leagues of fans of all ages. Again a great Southern Rock band straight out of the 70s. I'm 62 and have never tired of them. So sad death has stolen another great artist.
My favorite Allman Brothers song. Just fantastic. A long time ago, a co-worker and I were singing to it, karaoke-style, at the top of our lungs in an apartment, and a neighbor called the police. You gotta sing it like that.
For me Ramblin' man was the introduction to the Allmans since it was all over the radio back in the day. Then other songs came along like Melissa and Midnight Rider that were all great to discover. Then I saw them live and reached the 'changed forerver' point and have loved them ever since. Play em on the ol' jukebox mate!
Some good'old Southern Rock out of Macon, Georgia. Two stunning guitarist, Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, with brother Greg Allman primary vocals. At Fillmore East is considered by many to be the greatest live album ever. You've heard Duane on Eric Clapton's Layla. Duane was killed by a motorcycle accident in 1971 and was replaced by another legendary musician Warren Hayes. Greg Allman died just last year. Songs: Jessica, Soulshine, Midnight Rider, Melissa, Statesboro Blues, It's Not My Cross to Bear, One Way Out, and list goes on and on. This is a band that is best listened to on one of their live albums because they will break out into 5, 10, 15, sometimes longer jams in the middle of their songs.
Great video!!! Welcome to Southern rock!!! Yes, the live version is absolutely insane, over 10 minutes!!! You can try Lynerd Skynerd next, maybe "Freebird."
Is there a live version? Hell yeah there is ... abou 25 minutes worth! Other suggestions: "One Way Out," "Ramblin Man," "Jessica," "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed." All awesome live.
@@PatrolNation Allman Brothers 'Live at the Fillmore East' album still is one of the 'must haves' for any collector. That one concert lasted until early morning the next day and set the precedent for extended jam concerts in the future. There are tons of informative videos if you fancy looking into their backstory, just incredible, I think you'd enjoy it.
Oh my Gosh Pat!!!! Mine and my sisters life song!! There are phenomenal❤❤❤❤All of them!!! Right on man!! They are the quintessential bluesmen from the south. Heck yeah, got to see them!!!!
Try One Way Out, Statesboro Blues, Black Hearted Woman, Not My Cross to Bear, Melissa, "Trouble No More!!! Done Somebody Wrong Live at the Fillmore East is "the" Album!!! Enjoy
One of the best bands ever. Created a rock genre. Fantastically talented. 2 lead players, 2 drummers, Hammond organ, bass, and one of the most soulful singers ever and over the years some of the most talented players around. Duane may have been the best slide player ever. You have opened the door and can never top back.RIP Duane and Greg.
So good watching young people being blown away with the music I grew up listening to. Glad I was able to grow up in such a great generation of the best music.
who knows? The date you did this might be your next tatoo! :) Glad you liked....have the feeling will not be your last listen ! You truly sure check out the history, pretty amazing, was special time
They're one of the best live bands to ever play. You wont ever run out of live stuff to watch especially from there runs at the beacon theater in NYC. Nothing but world class musicians especially on guitar with Warren Haynes and Derek trucks.
Thank you! Enjoy your ride through their music. )) Late 1971 is a transitional point as you likely know now. RIP Duane. "Dreams" is one of my favorite.
My favorite band! I was fortunate at 16 y/o to catch them live at the Spectrum in Philly about a month or two after they cut their masterpiece in NY at the Fillmore East. As folks below mentioned, the live album is, "At Fillmore East" and many consider it the finest live Blues/Rock ever recorded. Be aware, most songs are WELL over 3/4 minutes long but not a wasted note. Also, this concert spills over to their next album, "Eat A Peach", a mix of live and studio. Well worth it, especially "Mountain Jam", a 33 minute plus song that has Duane doing some brilliant slide work after the drum solo, which by the way he's credited for inventing electric lead slide when his brother Gregg sent him some Coricidin pills for a cold and he emptied the bottle, put it on his finger and the rest is history.
Soulshine, one of the most feel good songs ever written. Not My Cross To Bear, Midnight Rider, Blue Sky, One Way Out. That's just a few, all great songs.
Add them to my list !!! That's funny. I've been a fan of ABB for 50 years. I still find myself listening to multiple versions of Whipping Post, Elizabeth Reed, Statesboro Blues, and many others in an evening. All of a sudden 2 or 3 hours have passed, and I have to force myself to stop. Amazing music.
God Bless The Allman Brothers.
Absolutely incredible Artists the likes are seldom seen today. Or never seen.
Still blows my mind when people say they’ve never heard of the Allman Brothers Band.
they never got the publicity or renown they should have. They just were laid back that way.
Or Marshall Tucker for chrissakes!!
yeah i was like what?

makes me feel old as hell.
Every time somone discovers this band I am reminded how lucky I am to have been raised on actual music played by phenomenal musicians.

"Where has this band been??" No where have YOU been. Great music never dies!!! Welcome
“ I wonder if they do that live” well if that isn’t the biggest understatement ever lol! Brother... you have no idea! And you’re gonna love it!!
I know. That made me laugh.
That has got to be one the funniest lines anyone has ever delivered. Inadvertently or on purpose.
Layne In Chains a lot of people with these kind of channels say that they haven’t heard it but they have. It’s a tactic to keep the viewers wstching
Lets just say that the Allmans live was the best concert I've ever been to. Those guys came to PLAY.
As good as Berry was, you haven't heard Whipping Post until you've heard Woody play it on that 12 string he's got. Good lord.
I'm reading Gregg Allman's bio and he wrote this song at 20 !! I thought it was an older, blues song written long ago. It's stellar. Thanks Gregg ! And Berry Oakley was the bass player, his intro.
These young'uns have been missing so much. They will learn..............
Hey boy, take that hat off! You in church now!
God bless you Son.
The best Southern Blues Rock band of all time.
It freaks me out there are people who haven't heard the Allman Brothers. Missionaries should have been handing out Fillmore East copies everywhere. There should be a copy of Fillmore East in every hotel drawer. Uhhhh yes there is a live version. Can't wait for that. Nobody knows off of Evening with the Allman Brothers, and Elizabeth Reed off of Fillmore, and Mountain Jam. Oh hell just get Eat a Peach..... great video. Thanks
"There should be a copy of Fillmore East in every hotel drawer" Im gon' use that!
true--we had better get busy spreading the gospel
Live at ludlow garage is a great one too!
Hard to believe Gregg Allman was only 19 when he sang this. One of my all time favorite songs...
21 recorded but yeah, old soul for sure.
Live at the Fillmore East is the greatest Live album ever produced, hands down...Everything on it is great, but my favorite is Dickie Betts penned masterpiece, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed."
Dickie Betts woke up in a graveyard after a bender in front of a gravestone that said In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, that's where the name of that song came from.
Amen
When he said, "I'm not ready" in the first minute, I thought, " Oh, Lordy, son, get you some nitroglycerin or something!"
Before his untimely death Duane Allman was the most in demand session guitarist in Rock and Roll.
Hearing it for the first time is like finding a piece of your soul that you didn't know that you had, innit?

I been rocking Allman Brothers since 1973 and still do.
The brothers are back together just playing that good rhythm and soul................
2 lead guitars and 2 drummers lead singer played keyboard as rhythm setting and bassist this band revolutionuzed how band concepts were in the 60s
Gregg's book really goes into how the band came up with their sound. Really interesting and important. Such a history w/them before they made it. They really worked.
my favorite band of all time
Southern Fried Blues Rock Greg Has the Voice and Brother Duane was one of all time best guitarists in the world....Even Jimi Hendrix said so......
There is just something about good old southern rock and roll. Blues and country blended with the rock vibe. What's not to like?
Hello from Texas this is the greatest Southern Rock band ever. Chillbumps
Be warned ! You are entering a time when music was real, no auto tune, no click track, none needed. You may never be the same
When he asked "where has this band been?" . . . . I had to cry.
😢 and 😂
God ! I envy you so much because of the upcoming ride you're about to take. Duane Allman in his short life changed how everyone looked at guitar playing. Good listening , mate !
Best response ever, my older brother turned me on to the ABB back in the mid 70s. Nothing been the same since.
Well stated, Frank. I remember my introduction to this music when I was 21. 54 trips around the sun now, I'm still digging on them. I can't get enough of Mtn Jam while cruising around in my caddy ragtop!
"JESSICA" is a must!! Congratulations on discovering AWESOMENESS, its a great ride
Stormy Monday is another favorite of Allman Brothers along with Statesborral Blues.
You jumped right into the deep end of the pool bro. lol
AMEN!!!!!
Lmao
I totally agree!😎
Greg Allman And The Allman Brothers Band. One of a kind..
"Sweet Melissa" showcases the beauty of Duane's slide guitar. It is a beautifully soulful and melodic song. Well worth the listen.
A gorgeous song
The guitar on Melissa is not Duane. He had been killed by that time. Melissa was supposedly Duane's favorite song that Gregg wrote so recorded the song. There beautiful guitar you hear on that song is Dickey Betts.
The questions is, where the hell have you been?! LoL!
Allman Brothers kill it! 🎸🎼🎙
Small town in Australia...lol
@@PatrolNation Hahaha! Well, welcome to the ABB fan club!
Welcome oh I can’t wait to see you react to more of these guys!

Greg was only 19 yo when he joined with his brother Duane and Betts. Incredible talent and I always listen to them on road trips.
This is part of the foundation from which our present day music is formed.
I guarantee that if you listen to “Midnight Rider” by the Allman Brothers that you will have heard it. Maybe in a movie.

The Allman Brothers Band is one of the best "Jam" bands. They just go with it....its Awesome!
saw them live in St Pete, Fla when they did Donovan's "mountain song". Jammed for SO long and it was transcendent. Around 1970.
Butch always said they were not a "Jam Band: they were a band that jammed. imho the greatest of all times
“Hang on im not ready for this “ ....Lol classic

‘Soulshine’ by Allman Bros is a must listen every Sunday in my house. Full blast

Can't believe you haven't heard of them before. definitely listen to the Filmore East album, absolutely brilliant and then some of the live jams actually carry over to Eat A Peach. You've heard Duane Allman before even if you didn't know it. He worked on the Layla album with Clapton and provided all the slide guitar parts.
These guys have been around for ages but sadly both Gregg and Duane Allman have died along with Berry Oakley the bass player. But they left an awesome musical legacy
This is one of my favorite Allman Brothers songs! FABULOUS!
Ooooooh sweet. Love me some whippin post. Killer tune. One of my top 10 of all time.
This is southern rock...they are the father and mother of Southern Rock!!! They gave birth to the genre!!! Southern Rock is a combination of blues/rock/country!!! Heavenly leaning (in the case of the Brothers) blues!! 👍 so much great music from the 60's and 70's. Great to see it from someone just discovering it. Now you know how us long haired kids felt back in the day!!!
Creation of southern rock. Yeah, Live from Filmore East is one of the best live albums ever. One Way Out is a favorite.
Two thumbs up! The title of this album Midnight Rider is actually one of my favorite songs from them.
God I LOVE The Allman Brothers!! Best Southern Rock Band ever!!! I am a new subscriber, my friend! This is an early 1970s band from Florida. I believe this song dates from 1971. I was 14 years old at the time. I attended the same High School they did (not at the same time) Seabreeze Senior High, Daytona Beach, Florida.
My absolute favourite from the Allman Brothers is 'Jessica'. And, if you like extended free-for-all, 'Mountain Jam' from their classic album 'Eat a Peach' is a wonderful thing.
They have leagues of fans of all ages. Again a great Southern Rock band straight out of the 70s. I'm 62 and have never tired of them. So sad death has stolen another great artist.
OMG!! I love this song!! You are going to be in Allman Brothers heaven!! I loved them in the 70’s & now! Duane & Dicky Betz. Great guitarists!
My favorite Allman Brothers song. Just fantastic. A long time ago, a co-worker and I were singing to it, karaoke-style, at the top of our lungs in an apartment, and a neighbor called the police. You gotta sing it like that.
For me Ramblin' man was the introduction to the Allmans since it was all over the radio back in the day. Then other songs came along like Melissa and Midnight Rider that were all great to discover. Then I saw them live and reached the 'changed forerver' point and have loved them ever since. Play em on the ol' jukebox mate!
Some good'old Southern Rock out of Macon, Georgia. Two stunning guitarist, Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, with brother Greg Allman primary vocals. At Fillmore East is considered by many to be the greatest live album ever. You've heard Duane on Eric Clapton's Layla. Duane was killed by a motorcycle accident in 1971 and was replaced by another legendary musician Warren Hayes. Greg Allman died just last year. Songs: Jessica, Soulshine, Midnight Rider, Melissa, Statesboro Blues, It's Not My Cross to Bear, One Way Out, and list goes on and on. This is a band that is best listened to on one of their live albums because they will break out into 5, 10, 15, sometimes longer jams in the middle of their songs.
Greg Allman keyboard and lead vocal was only 20 yrs old when this came out! Sounds older. I love driving on a trip with this album! 💞✌
I love this. It’s unapologetic, but a graphic depiction of Southern experience
Great video!!! Welcome to Southern rock!!! Yes, the live version is absolutely insane, over 10 minutes!!! You can try Lynerd Skynerd next, maybe "Freebird."
Midnight Rider is one of my favorites. Everything I've heard from Allman Brothers was good.
Is there a live version? Hell yeah there is ... abou 25 minutes worth! Other suggestions: "One Way Out," "Ramblin Man," "Jessica," "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed." All awesome live.
25 mins...man that's half a concert lol.
@@PatrolNation Allman Brothers 'Live at the Fillmore East' album still is one of the 'must haves' for any collector. That one concert lasted until early morning the next day and set the precedent for extended jam concerts in the future. There are tons of informative videos if you fancy looking into their backstory, just incredible, I think you'd enjoy it.
Oh my Gosh Pat!!!! Mine and my sisters life song!! There are phenomenal❤❤❤❤All of them!!!
Right on man!! They are the quintessential bluesmen from the south.
Heck yeah, got to see them!!!!
My goal in life is to play the bass line of "my" song!👍
Try One Way Out, Statesboro Blues, Black Hearted Woman, Not My Cross to Bear, Melissa,
"Trouble No More!!!
Done Somebody Wrong
Live at the Fillmore East is "the" Album!!! Enjoy
Yes. Definitely check out Live at the Fillmore.
Great starting song. Try Midnight Rider....definitely along the same lines as this one.
One of the best bands ever. Created a rock genre. Fantastically talented. 2 lead players, 2 drummers, Hammond organ, bass, and one of the most soulful singers ever and over the years some of the most talented players around. Duane may have been the best slide player ever. You have opened the door and can never top back.RIP Duane and Greg.
one of the greatest jam bands ever!....they smoked live!!!
when they started out, some famous bands got smoked when they were the lead act. really
Gregg Allman R.I.P.
So good watching young people being blown away with the music I grew up listening to. Glad I was able to grow up in such a great generation of the best music.
You should react to The Allman Brothers "Not my cross to bare"; beautiful song.
who knows? The date you did this might be your next tatoo! :) Glad you liked....have the feeling will not be your last listen ! You truly sure check out the history, pretty amazing, was special time
back for my 3rdor 4th viewing. saw it on day one. love your reaction.
They're one of the best live bands to ever play. You wont ever run out of live stuff to watch especially from there runs at the beacon theater in NYC. Nothing but world class musicians especially on guitar with Warren Haynes and Derek trucks.
Derek and Warren are incredible. Way to keep the sound.
Thank you!
Enjoy your ride through their music. )) Late 1971 is a transitional point as you likely know now. RIP Duane.
"Dreams" is one of my favorite.
My favorite band! I was fortunate at 16 y/o to catch them live at the Spectrum in Philly about a month or two after they cut their masterpiece in NY at the Fillmore East. As folks below mentioned, the live album is, "At Fillmore East" and many consider it the finest live Blues/Rock ever recorded. Be aware, most songs are WELL over 3/4 minutes long but not a wasted note. Also, this concert spills over to their next album, "Eat A Peach", a mix of live and studio. Well worth it, especially "Mountain Jam", a 33 minute plus song that has Duane doing some brilliant slide work after the drum solo, which by the way he's credited for inventing electric lead slide when his brother Gregg sent him some Coricidin pills for a cold and he emptied the bottle, put it on his finger and the rest is history.
I appreciate you listening to the WHOLE song before commenting. Your reaction was great too! *subscribed*
Melissa is a must. 😊👍🏻
Finally, you have to listen to Not my cross to bare!
Soulshine, one of the most feel good songs ever written. Not My Cross To Bear, Midnight Rider, Blue Sky, One Way Out. That's just a few, all great songs.
Check out Allman Brothers live at the Fillmore East that's whipping post Statesboro Blues one of the best live albums ever made
and that concert was the end of the Fillmore East and they had a celebration. Wish there was film on it and all the different music that was there.
Add them to my list !!! That's funny. I've been a fan of ABB for 50 years. I still find myself listening to multiple versions of Whipping Post, Elizabeth Reed, Statesboro Blues, and many others in an evening. All of a sudden 2 or 3 hours have passed, and I have to force myself to stop. Amazing music.
