I sure miss this guy. Not that I ever got to shake his hand. He was a great friend to all of us with that voice and words. Gregg never sold out, he kept that style till the end.
You can channel that handshake through me if you'd like. I went out for a midnight supper at the Pearl Restaurant & Oyster Bar in New Orleans after watching the Allmans do a New Year's Eve show at A Warehouse (1972?). He was sitting at the back with a pretty young lady sharing a meal. I think her name was Dixie Meadows. We were the only ones in the place. After thinking about leaving them in peace, I finally decided to walk by and say a quick hello. He very graciously chatted with me for a moment and we shook hands. Oh, and she gave me a sweet smile also.
Well I've been out walking I don't do that much talking these days These days These days I seem to think a lot About the things that I forgot to do For you And all the times I had the chance to Well I had a lover I don't think I'll risk another these days These days These days I seem to be afraid To live the life that I have made in song But it's just that I have been losing For so long These days I sit on cornerstones Count the time in quarter tones 'till ten My friend And now I believe I've come To see myself again These days I sit on cornerstones Count the time in quarter tones 'till ten My friend Please don't confront me with my failure I'm aware of it
Thanks! Last line is "failures" plural and "I'm aware of them". At least that is how Gregg sings it...not sure if that is the exact line Jackson wrote.
This is a cool version of one of my favorite songs. They should put Laid Back right along side of the Fillmore East album in the Library of Congress to preserve forever!
I had a lover I don't think I'll risk another wow that's prolific love! Genius songwriter! Genius musician! Thank you Greg and your friends and family!
I think this recording really matches what Greg intended to be on the original studio track he's singing it in a lower key sounds a little more melancholy like being in a prison cell!?
Gregg is one of the best. I seen him at the August Jam 1974 Charlotte Motor Speedway. I was 16 years old. Seen him many times and the last time was 2 years before he passed away. There will never be another like him. We had the best music in our day's.

Watching this for the Thousandth time on 11-17-23! Miss you Gregg. There’ll never be another 🤟🏼
Only Gregg can do this song justice.
The world is an emptier place without you Gregg.
David Couch
Amen And always will be.
I feel like he’s still here..….his voice and music is so monumental….forever…
So very true
A song written by a teenager delivered with sadness and heartfelt honesty by an old man. Just beautiful.
Amazing this came from a 16 year old. Jackson Browne is one talented guy but Gregg owns this song!
Loved Gregg Allman!
Such a talented and troubled soul. RIP Greg you are missed
The sadness is palpable. No more pain Gregg. RIP.
Gregg Allman and Graham Nash. Two legends. They sound great together.
Can't get enough of this song. Gregg's voice is magic.

Beautiful version of ' These Day's. The harmonica and harmony sounds great!
Got to see him at Coco Booth in Cary NC About a year before he passed away. One of the best to ever grace the stage .
I'm crying inside, blows me away every time.
Scott boyer wrote most of the album. I would know .
My 💓 breaks.....I love you Scott Russ
Scott Hester These Day’s was written by Jackson Brown when Jackson was 16.
It's like listening to a raw nerve. The voice and lyrics fit so well together.
PLEASE DONT CONFRONT ME WITH MY FAILURES IM AWARE OF THEM. THANK YOU GREGG FOR SPEAKING FOR ALL OF US. NO ONE CAN SING IT LIKE YOU. SORRY JACKSON
"please don't confront me with my failures, I'm aware of them"...that line gets me every time Gregg sang it.
this song will always get to me...rest easy my soulful brother...that voice will always be remembered!
From the LP "Laid Back" in 1973. I listened then, and it has never left me.
Likewise...
It hard to believe that Jackson Browne wrote this song when he was 17 years old...how does a 17 year old relate to this?Wonderful song
Old soul
Greg's voice travels straight to the soul.
Rest Peacefully alongside your brother Duane Greg! Godbless y'all!
so much pain in those eyes...so sad
The emotion pours out through the lyrics. Just a beauty Gregg
I "discovered" this song back in an old book & record shop on L.I. back around 1986. I haven't stopped crying since.
I don't have the words...the honest beauty and power of this song. Never heard the like.
He touches my heart, noone else can like he does.
Thank you J.B for writing this song. Gregg's version is my favorite.
Rest easy, Gregg
Heartbresking
BRILLIANT ONE MAN Show🙏🎉
Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
For you
And all the times I had the chance to
Well I had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days
These days
These days I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
But it's just that I have been losing
For so long
These days I sit on cornerstones
Count the time in quarter tones 'till ten
My friend
And now I believe I've come
To see myself again
These days I sit on cornerstones
Count the time in quarter tones 'till ten
My friend
Please don't confront me with my failure
I'm aware of it
Thank you
Mary that is a beautiful song and nobody could ever sing like Gregg could.
aware of them
….of my failures, I have not forgotten them”
Thanks! Last line is "failures" plural and "I'm aware of them". At least that is how Gregg sings it...not sure if that is the exact line Jackson wrote.
Gregg Allman one of the best musician's to ever play and sing. We had the best music ever in our era.
16 months of losing
20 years of work helping gone.
Heartache moods again.
Thx Gregg.
These impromtu jams show their musicality in all it's glory.....
This is a cool version of one of my favorite songs. They should put Laid Back right along side of the Fillmore East album in the Library of Congress to preserve forever!
You’re alive in my heart and my memory and always will be as long as I’m alive. Miss you Greg.
Still affected by loss of Gregg Allman
I sit and practice everyday... This is one I'll never not play.
I've seen Gregg perform this live a couple times, but here he's living the song. All of life's pain. Rest in peace brother.
love this song
Gregg Allman at his best
Miss you greatly there will never be another like you brother
Beautiful Greg!
Miss you madly. Will never truly believe your gone.
My heart will never be the same without Greg Allman. He still sings me to sleep.
I had a lover I don't think I'll risk another wow that's prolific love! Genius songwriter! Genius musician! Thank you Greg and your friends and family!
Rest in peace Gregg...
This is Gregg Allman at his best..
This song is amazing
Beautiful😔
Love this message through yiur music..today...I'm mostly gray
OMG I love this!!!
Beautiful
Simply the best! 🍄
J B wrote this as a teenager, what a tortured teen life 😥😥
CLASSIC GREGG ALLMAN🙏🥰🎉
so Beautiful......LOl,,,missing Gregg
I love Jackson’s version and I love this one it’s hard to say which is better but you can honestly say that Greg Has that sorrowful sound
Amazing songwriter and lyricist.
To think Jackson Browne wrote this at 17 still amazes me....
If we are being technical, Browne wrote it at 16 years old! Unbelievable, right?
Rest well, Brother Gregg.
There's great sadness in this song, but in a good way...
digg it peace greg
Great performance! RIP brother Gregg
Nice touch with the harmonics
I think this recording really matches what Greg intended to be on the original studio track he's singing it in a lower key sounds a little more melancholy like being in a prison cell!?
Jackson Browne wrote this song. Gregg Allman owns it
This is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard.
I like the Jackson Browne/Greg Allman version from the "ALL MY FRIENDS" show in GA. Check it out...truely fantastic!
this says it all....
Great
Missed.
Gregg Allman & Graham Nash yesss!
Reflection~* Looking back.:')
Need to hear Jackson do this with him... Simply Amazing.....
Before in Greg's last life he was a hobo on a train! Can you dig that? And Dwayne Allman was his conductor! conductor!!!
Sad that jaiome and dickie betts are the only 2 surviving members of the allman brothers band r.i.p gregg
only one white man who can truly sing the blues. ....muddy water's. . tru dat! !!!!
LitTlE To LaTE ,tHiS was a GrEaT Artist gOnE to SoOn
Who's singing background for Greg come on now keep this knowledge and music flowing break it down!
Gregg does my favorite version of this song except he changes the last line. I liked it better the way JB wrote it.
I'm crazy I'm aware of that! That's my failure!
Every time I see him I think wow he must be thinking of Cher! A woman can put you in prison emotionally! Who knows only Greg!
Never heard this version before. Not bad but, honestly ... for me it's got to be Jackson's own version every time.
Jackson.......
Jesus...cut the guy a break....you get what he's gettin' at....just let it be
good god, what an embarrassment. To live a life and not remember so much of it. Gives new meaning to 'Wasted.'
Gregg is one of the best. I seen him at the August Jam 1974 Charlotte Motor Speedway. I was 16 years old. Seen him many times and the last time was 2 years before he passed away. There will never be another like him. We had the best music in our day's.
muddy waters said it like it is there's only one white man who can truly sing the blues.....tru fnk that
Listen to David Allan Coes version.

He's lookin into the Soul of Jackson Browne's.. They were roomees. Shared more than just a room I guess....
What the fuck man, are you saying they smashed?
I'm crying inside, blows me away every time.
