The greatest band in America. My opinion. 🍄 As good or better in the end as they were in the beginning..The guitar players in that band through the years was legendary in itself. From Duane to Dickie. Danny,Warren,Jack, to Jimmy & of course Derek..All stellar musicians..🍑🍄🎸 Good Job rating to..Allmost Brother.
For me 'Brothers and Sisters' will always be my favourite Allman Brothers album, it was the first one I listened to and it was their most commercially successful album for a good reason, the songs, the performances, the track running order and the production are spot on in my book!... 😊
My Top 12 Allman Brothers Albums 12. Reach for the Sky 11. Enlighten Rogues 10. Brothers of the Road 9. Hittin' The Note 8. Seven Turns 7. Shades Of 2 Worlds 6. Where It All Begins 5. Win, Lose Or Draw (Pretty Good Album) 4. Allman Brothers Band 3. Idlewild South 2. Brothers and Sisters 1. Eat A Peach Even though it's part Live, I Love it. Blue Sky is My Favorite Allman Brothers Song.
Other than flipping "Seven Turns" and "Hittin' The Note" this would be my list as well. On any given week I may flip "Brothers and Sisters" and "Eat A Peach" but I agree with the bottom two at all times. I was fortunate enough to have been able to meet the band in 1981when I was 15 and later in 2004. The Dixie Dregs opened the show and I saw Steve Morse in the parking lot after the show. My stepfather had gone to school with him at Richmond Academy and I shouted out, "Hey, Steve! Tony Ivey told me to tell you hello." He was kind enough to stop and chat for several minutes and I asked for an autograph. Neither he or the 2 ladies with him had a pen nor did the 2 friends that were with me. He said his equipment was already loaded and he didn't have access to get me a pick but he could give me his ALL ACCESS pass if I would behave. We all 3 promised and got all 3 of their passes. I was able to chat with Butch Trucks at great length the first time and I asked if I could get something to drink. He stated I was obviously under legal drinking age and all he had in his cooler was Budweiser. He then shouted across the room to Gregg and said, "This young man needs something to drink. Can you help him out?" Gregg said, " I got Perrier water if that will work." Gregg motioned me over and handed me two small bottles of Perrier water, one which I drank immediately (only time I ever had it, didn't like it so much) and the other I kept, unopened, until it was lost during a move in 1998.
What a magnificent band! I love pretty much everything the Allmans ever did, so this list could definitely change. Here’s my personal ranking of the albums, with the top eight all being absolute masterpieces: 1. Eat A Peach 2. The Allman Brothers Band (self-titled) 3. Idlewild South 4. Shades Of Two Worlds 5. Seven Turns 6. Brothers And Sisters 7. Hittin’ The Note 8. Where It All Begins 9. Enlightened Rogues 10. Win, Lose Or Draw 11. Reach For The Sky 12. Brothers Of The Road (still a decent album)
Thanks PETE my brother who passed away in 2013 loved the brothers so much we were visiting our cousin in Atlanta we went to Macon to see the burial site then government MULE at the ROXY which I never heard of and was blown away one of the GREAT shows. Keep up the good work you ROCK my friend.
My favorite American band of all time! Saw them 36 times. No bad line ups. The interaction between Warren Haynes and Dickey and, or, Derek Trucks was a great as anything the band ever did. Of course, the original line up was the best, but those who cut off ties with the band after Duane died having really been missing out! My partial list goes like this: 9. Hittin' the Note (2003) 8. Enlightened Rogues (1979) 7. Where it All Begins (1994) 6. Brothers and Sisters (1973) 5. Seven Turns (1990) 4. Shades of Two Worlds (1991) 3. Eat a Peach (1972) 2. Idlewild South (1970) 1. The Allman Brothers Band (1969) I have all of the others. There are the occasional good cuts, but none of them, for me, belong in this group. Nice job, Pete!
GOVERNMENT MULE what a great band saw them in Atlanta in 96 at the ROXY my brother who loves the brothers said to me and our cousin who was the one living there that we got to see the MULE and what a show only saw them about five times before Allen died the last time I saw was at Croton park on the Hudson and then about four or five times after that one great show they played was at the BEACON THEATER on New Year's eve and they had JASON NEWSTEAD ON bass and he was smiling the whole time you can tell he was having a ball .I seen him in METALLICA several times and he never smiled like that .WARREN is just so talented we ever he plays you got to bring your A game .I have seen him play be it the brother or the dead he was always amazing.
Right on Pete does my favorite band . On my B day I wish they would have put out at least one more album with the last line up, that album is fantastic. This changes all the time but today I rank them like this 5 shades of two worlds 4 Back Where it all began 3 Hitting the Note 2 Brothers and sisters 1 Debut album
A great band with brilliant musicians My number 1. Idlewid South- Exciting, subtle, reflective, expressive. In love from the first hearing. Their first album I bought 2.Debut- Hypnotic solos. Tempo changes, energy-rich bass and powerful two drum kits. The instruments unite their forces, a stunning impression. A lot of emotions. 3.Eat a peach- They showed how great musicians they are even after the death of one of the brothers. Great album 4.Seven Turns- Return in a big way. What an album opening! Fresh and full life. Warren and Dickey what a duo. Fantastic songs. 5.Shades of Two Worlds- Album as good as the previous one. They were in great shape. 6.Brothers and Sisters- Very good album. Feel a different direction of the group's sound and style but in a good sense. I like this album. 7.Hittin' the note- I didn't expect this album to be that good. Is fantastic. Back to their best. Great production. 8.Win Lose or Draw-A very strong start. Genius High Falls. The more I listen, the more I like it but you can hear that the air has started to run. 9.Enlightened Rogues- Feel the vitality, energy and determination. A really good album. A lot of emotion 10.Where it all Begins- Most consistency of all albums. Great rhythmically. It's pleasant to listen to. 11.Reach for the Sky- Is this the same band? A bit trivial album. I like From the Madness of the West 12. Brothers of the Road- It's hard to listen to this album.Has some interesting moments, some good guitar solo. PS. Thank's Pete for Allmans. What do you think about the ranking Dire Straits? It's hard to find something about them at your channel.
Good overview that. Dire Straits made one of the great debut albums and the next two were solid before they descended into overblown stadium epics. It all started to go wrong when the brothers fell out. Mark's best playing is often on other people's albums. As much as I like his solo releases he's never recaptured the wonder of that first Dire Straits album and the majestic Sultans of Swing.
From the 1st time I heard it, Idlewild South has always been my top Allman's album. Someone a few miles from me had a street sign made & placed it at the end of their driveway that says Idlewild South. 😎
PETE, I really enjoy hearing you rank albums from many classic bands, I'm of your generation and share your appreciation of many of the bands you mention. I have looked to see if you have ranked the albums of Wishbone Ash and see you haven't done it yet. I wondered if you are working towards this or have plans to do so in future. Please keep it up, thank you.
I'd argue that the later band with Warren and Derek were the equal of the Duane years. The songwriting wasn't as strong but they put out some very fine albums in the 90s.
@@PhilBaird1 I agree. And, as a live band, they so much more capable. I'm certain that Duane would have improved vastly over the years, as well, but it's not like he needed to. The abilities of people seasoned by decades of playing are generally vastly improved, if they can stay relatively straight most of the time. The lack of personal discipline showed, in spades, as far as Dickey was concerned. By the time they replaced with Derek Trucks, the younger guy was a much more capable player and a better band mate. The ABB throughout their later years was every bit as good as the classic lineup as a live band.
Never saw the band but got to see Gregg solo when i lived in Vegas. Great show. He had a fantastic bluesy voice. He and his voice r missed. R.I.P. Gregg. May u continue playing that great music with ur brother Duane and Butch.
I'm pretty sure my neighbors have heard "Rockin' Horse" from "Hittin' The Note" album & "Nobody Knows" from "Shades Of Two Worlds" loud & clear by now!
I'm missing a good chuck that came out between Brothers and Sisters and Seven Turns (I do own the box set, though). So, here's a top five of what I know well: 1. Where it All Begins (It's one of my favorite 90's albums. It just sounds perfect to me.) 2. Eat a Peach 3. Brothers and Sisters 4. Idlewild South 5. The Allman Brothers Band
@@seaoftranquilityprog Kill it, they did! Anytime Warren Haynes stepped onto a stage to do battle with Dickey, or Derek, it was explosive. Dickey kept turning his amps up to eleven and these guys went at each other tooth and nail for the better part of two and half hours every night.
Big fan of your channel and a great list Pete! They actually lost Berry Oakley during the recording of Brothers and Sisters, not Eat a Peach. Berry is playing bass on 'Wasted Words' and 'Ramblin' Man' and Lamar Williams plays bass on the rest of the tracks. It's an incredible testament to the strength of the band that they could continue after the loss of both Duane and Berry and still produce music of such great quality.
My personal fave Allman albums list is a bit shorter than yours, but longer on minutes of pleasure: 1. Brothers And Sisters (38) 2. Enlightend Rogues (38) 3. Eat A Peach (36) 4. Seven Turns (35) 5. Allman Brothers Band (33) 6. Idlewild South (31)
Leavin' off Brothers of the Road is my favorite. Enlightened Rogues is one of my favorite LPs. Saw them in '79 on this tour with Hank JR warming up. The Brothers played for 4 hrs
1 - Eat A Peach 2 - Idlewild 3 - S/T 4 - Brothers And Sisters 5 - Enlightened Rogues 6 - Hittin' The Note 7 - Win, Lose Or Draw 8 - Where It All Begins 9 - Shades Of Two Worlds 10 - Seven Turns 11 - The other 2 early 80's stuff well, i just don't get Seven Turns pretty much because the way the album sounds, but there are good songs on it. Fillmore it's outworldly and i love the first 7 on the list, even win lose or draw, which, in my opinion, could sound better (high falls it's amazing). Oh, have you all heard the allman betts band? I dig their debut album too :)
Hey Pete. I just wanted to speak up and encourage you for the outstanding job that you have been doing the last couple of weeks. With the loss of a highly significant family member, I wouldn't have blamed you if you took some well deserved time away from us. I would like to throw out a suggestion to you. Not all of us are "completest" and don't necessarily need a complete best to worst. For a band or artist that has a huge catalog, Like Elton John, I would settle for a top 10,15, 20 of your favorites, like you are doing with the Allman Brothers live albums. I would venture to say that a majority of us that subscribe to your channel are curious enough to possibly seek out what is not included if we enjoy an artist music enough. I guess I am suggesting, that it's your channel, we love what you do and continue to allow yourself to have the freedom to continue to have the freedom to present your passion without imposing rules for artists that you love, no matter how big or small of a catalog they may have. Just a suggestion. God bless.
Gonna agree with you totally Pete! Here it is around 50 years after the first to Brothers & Sisters and a few weeks ago my mind went back to my high school days and have listened to nothing else. 2nd lp almost a tie for #1 though. Greetings from Nashville, Tennessee area.
Another great list, Pete. While you were doing your Van Halen ranking, I was thinking "When is that Allman Brothers list coming out?"....and bingo bango, here it is. Well done! And for anyone interested, I'd recommend the 40th Anniversary Live at the Beacon video (yep. It's on YT). 2:30 minutes of bliss. The performance is dynamic....and Derek is incredible.
I heard Revival on the radio in 1970 (real coincidence because I never heard it played again at that time) and went to check for the band at the local record store. They had a special sale - if you bought the album you would get the first album that went unnoticed in our country for a few coins along with it. When I came home I put on the debut first and that opening sequence of the Spencer Davis tune seguing into It's Not My Cross to Bear made me an addict right away. They remained on my top shelf ever since. Giants. 1. Allman Brothers Band (Just 33 minutes long and you would not want to miss a single second) 2. Idlewild South (Just 31 minutes long and you would not want to miss a single second) 3. Brothers and Sisters 4. Win, Lose or Draw (Their most underrated album) 5. Shades of Two Worlds 6. Eat a Peach (Their most overrated album, the best of it is on Fillmore and the rest sadly unfinished - I prefer the Vol 1 of the Duane Allman Anthology that has great performances he provided as a studio musicians to the stars of his era - I discovered a lot of interesting artists this way - just listen to Duane and Wilson Pickett taking Hey Jude into the stratosphere...) 7. Seven Turns 8. Where It All Begins 9. Enlightened Rogues 10. Hitting the Note 11. Brothers of the Road 12. Reach for the Sky Must have's - Dickey Betts' Atlanta's Burning Down and the first Great Southern album + Pattern Disruptive. Gregg's solo recordings (except for his Cher duet), he only very late received recognition as one of the great rock vocalists.
Great post Roxanne and a good ranking. I passed up the Gregg + Cher album for years but found it to be a lot better than critics suggested. Cher was one of the great Southern soul singers at the time. It's well worth checking out.
Love, love love the Allman Brothers! Great listing Pete. One very small clarification - Seven Turns did not have Chuck Leavell, the other keyboard player (and songwriter) was Johnny Neel. He played with Dickey in Great Southern, and Dickey brought him into the revamped ABB.
Great list Pete. The only difference I would have would to move Seven Turns up a spot or two. Otherwise I agree completely. For a real treat listen to Dickie's DUANE'S TUNE from his album PATTERN DISRUPTIVE A little jazzy with some soaring guitar. Thanks
I like all of these and would not be opposed to listening to any of them. That said: 12) Brothers of the Road 11) Reach for the Sky 10) Enlightened Rogues 9) Win, Lose or Draw 8) Seven Turns 7) Shades of Two Worlds 6) Hittin' the Note 5) Where It All Begins 4) Brothers and Sisters 3) The Allman Brothers Band 2) Idlewild South 1) Eat a Peach The top four could change at any time. They're pretty equal to me. Thanks, Pete!
Great band easily my favorite southern rock band. Here’s my ranking 1. Brothers and Sisters 2. Idlewild South 3. Self titled 4. Eat a Peach 5. Where it all begins 6. Shades of Two World 7. Hittin’ the Note 8. Seven Turns 9. Win, Lose, or Draw 10. Enlightened Rogues 11. Reach for the Sky 12. Brothers of the road
I really enjoyed this video Pete the commentary on the Allman Brothers is excellent album by album I’m so glad the Allman Brothers are one of your favorite bands I’m really into the Allman Brothers thanks for giving dickey Betts credit and mentioning Warren of course but the great dickey Betts is so underrated! This is a hard one because there’s a lot of albums that have equal great songs and then there’s a few albums that have some mediocre tunes but have some really strong ones on there so they fit in a certain pile or category! Fantastic shirt that shirt rocks!
Top ten greatest live bands ever Pete, always put on incredible shows; my top 5 1.Eat A Peach 2.Allman Bros. Band 3.Idewild South 4.Shades of two Worlds 5.Brothers and Sisters Didnt really get in to the eighties material but their Nineties material was incredible. Thanks Pete.
My top Ten Studio Albums are 1) Eat a Peach 2) Brothers & Sisters 3) Idawild South 4) Seven Turns! 5) Win Lose or Draw 6) The Allman Brothers Band 7) Where it all Began 8) Shades of Grey 9) Enlightened Rogues 10) Reach for the Sky
Perfect list. I have always had the debut as my fave as well. And "Liz Reed" is not only my favorite ABB song as well, it is in my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Thanks again Mr. Pardo!
I've only ever had 4 Allman Brothers albums: *Eat A Peach, Brothers & Sisters, Seven Turns,* and *Shades Of Two Worlds,* and they were all fucking amazing. No preference. All great. I also had their A&M Records 25th Anniversary Greatest Hits collection, but that doesn't count for these purposes. What a truly original and amazing band they were. RIP Duane, Berry, Butch and Gregg. 🙌🏻
I would swap Eat a Peach with Brothers and Sisters. I like Gov't Mule so I will have to check out the Warren Haynes ones. I honestly did not know there were studio records with him. I gave up after Enlightened Rogues. I like your show, I stumbled on to it a couple months ago. I'm waiting for the Zappa rankings.
And I don’t own the clothes I’m wearing/ and the road goes on forever/and I’ve got one more silver dollar / but I’m not gon let em catch me , no ,/ not gonna let em catch the midnight rider. I may not be the hugest ALLMAN Bro’s Fan. /. But damn this song. /. I always loved! Tremendous! Thx for another great episode PETE. Needed some music / and your voice. After learning last night / my two daughters awesome volleyball coach was taken away at 58 from this dreaded virus. R. I. P.
I think you got it right these guys were always one of my favorite bands. Gregg Allman's biography he says they slapped that first album together way faster than they wanted. Some times that is a good formula for a great album they didn't overthink it.
1) The Allman Brothers Band 2) Idlewild South 3) Eat a Peach 4) Brothers and Sisters 5) Enlightened Rogues 6) Seven Turns 7) Shades of Two Worlds 8) Where It All Begins 9) Hittin’ the Note 10) Win, Lose or Draw 11) Reach for the Sky 12) Brothers of the Road
I think it would be cool if you could show us all the albums in the background that we can see the cover to. Some have been there for a while and I can only recognize a couple!
Top tier for me: Shades of Two Worlds Brothers And Sisters Back Where It All Begins Debut Idlewild South Eat A Peach ...a number of the live albums also make it into the mix for me, most notably the A&R Sessions and Ludlow Garage
Great job thanks 👍, I got first album, Fillmore eat a peach, Idlewild South, brothers and sisters. I caught the first tour after Duane passed with DR. John great show, so sorry I missed Duane but Berry was there
Hadn't realised they'd put out so few studio albums in among all the compilations and live albums. The only two I haven't got are the two 80s releases which you ranked last. All the others are well worth a listen and have some great stuff on them. I think the band were reborn with Warren and then Derek, and they were sensational in their latter years. Your list is pretty much my own Pete, with those first few releases being the essential core material of the band's career. Music for all time.
My favorite Allman Bros album is At Fillmore East but this is studio albums. My top 2 have to be Eat A Peach and Brothers And Sisters. Dickey Betts is underrated. Glad I got to see them when he was in the band in 98. I know Eat A Peach has some live songs on it but the studio stuff is among the Allmans's best imo.
I saw Greg Allman in West Palm Beach who told us: “You’re a pretty good audience. For Florida.” My two favorite are: 1970 Idlewild South 1973 Brothers and Sisters
Hey Pete...love the Allmans...I gotta say...I was really into them back in the day....in the 70's and early 80's...I really liked Win Lose or Draw and Enlightened Rogues.....and Reach for the Sky and Brothers of the Road had enough good material to make them worth it....and live they were excellent during rhat phase.....thanks...
Thanks for rating the ABB! In 1973 I bought the album "Beginnings" (the re-release of their first 2 albums). It was one of my first albums I bought at the ripe age of 14, and love them still to this day. Gregg solo stuff is good too. Again Thank You!
I was just playing Little Martha on my acoustic yesterday . The one song Duane Allman wrote and the last one he recorded . It made me a little misty eyed . Much love to the Allman Bothers .
My rank: 1 Idlewild South 2 The Allman Brothers Band 3 Brothers & Sisters 4 Eat the Peach 5 Shades of Two Worlds 6 Seven Turns 7 Hittin' the Note 8 Where It All Begins 9 Win, Lose or Draw 10 Enlightened Rogues 11 Reach for the Sky 12 Brothers of the Road
Always loved the Allman Brothers and their music. When Warren Haynes and Allen Woody joined in the early 90's, it really gave the band a shot of energy in the music. That being said, what are the chances are a ranking list of Gov't Mule studio albums?
#1 for me is Brothers and Sisters 2 Eat A Peach 3 Self Titled 4 idlewild South 5 Where It All Begins 6 Seven Turns 7 Hittin The Note 8 Shades Of Two Worlds 9 Enlightened Rogues 10 Reach For The Sky 11 Brothers Of The Road 12 Win Lose Or Draw
Got a BGO Compilation, Reach for the Sky/Brothers on the road. Nice pack, generally agree with the ranking. Only missing Hittin' the note but gonna get it eventually.
Eat a Peach ranks higher than Brothers and Sisters, but other than that, you're spot on. the Doc of Rock has spoken. I still think of their first two albums as one album because I had the Polydor reissue of the two called Beginnings.
I'm with you on numbers 12 through 5, but my top 4 would be 4) Idlewild 3) Brothers & Sisters 2) Debut and 1) Eat A Peach, But let's be real, those top 4 are splitting hairs. Saw the Allman's twice in the 90's at Jones Beach, NY. The second time was the same day as Jerry Garcia's death. Those 90's Allman albums are excellent, "Nobody Knows" from Shades of Two Worlds is one of my all-time favorite Allman's songs.
I Like the early 70's and the First Reunion with Dan Toler especially ! (This is really Hard - I try it) 1. First Album 2. Eat a Peach 3. Enlightened Rogue 4. Idlewild South 5. Win Lose or Draw 6. Reach for the Sky 7. Shades of two Worlds 8. Brothers & Sisters (A classic but too much Piano I miss the Second Guitar on Brothers & Sisters ! 3 really Great Gregg Allman Tracks (Wasted Words, Come and Go Blues , Jelly Jelly) on this Album !!!
1. Eat a Peach, 2. Idlewild South, 3. Allman Brothers Band, 4. Brothers and Sisters, 5. Hittin the Note, 6. Shades of Two Worlds, 7. Seven Turns, 8. Where it all Begins, 9. Win, Lose or Draw, 10. Enlightened Rogues, 11. Reach for the Sky, 12. Brothers of the Road
Seven Turns is great. I saw them at the Fox Theater in St. Louis in 1990 on that tour (George Thorogood and the Destroyers opened.) Also love Shades of Two Worlds, great album. 1. The Allman Bros. Band (debut) 2. Idlewild South 3. Seven Turns 4. Shades of Two Worlds 5. Eat a Peach
I pretty much agree with this list but I would swap the number 1 and 2 choices . The Allman Brothers Band album was recorded in New York with Adrian Barber producing . Its a great album but Idlewild South was recorded in Miami with the great Tom Dowd producing . The band must have felt much more comfortable recording on home turf . I bought these two albums on vinyl in the ' 70's as a double album called Beginnings . I don't know if they were released in this format in the US . Eat a Peach was the first ABB album I bought .
Can you do a list of songs you love by bands you hate? I really hate Poison, but Body Talk from Native Tongue is such a good song, probably only because of Richie Kotzens guitar playing. A guy who definitely used that band as a vehicle for his own, much more mature guitar playing.
you ever get the 40th anniversary my brothers and sisters I know you got the deluxe edition of Fillmore you showed that before.. brothers and sisters has so many demos and studios and outtakes it's longer than the actual album 72 minutes..I'm glad to have that one too there's some really great extended jams and some cool songs instrumental a southbound before the vocals were added very cool you can also check it all out on RUclips by just putting in brothers and sisters Allman Brothers 40th anniversary deluxe and you can hear all the extra cuts...it's one that I am going to probably have to order again because I've burned through and worn-out disc two more than I've have disc 1 lol
My list: 1. Debut, 2. Idlewild South, 3. Brothers And Sisters, 4. Eat A Peach, 5. Hitting The Note, 6. Seven Turns, 7. Where It All Begins, 8. Shades Of Two Worlds, 9. Brothers Of The Road, 10. Reach For The Sky, 11. Win, Lose Or Draw and 12. Enlightened Rogues After the 4 early albums Hitting The Note is next for me. I have seen them live many times. The live versions of Desdemona and Maydell are killer. So thankful for Instant Live recordings. You are not including them in the live collection rankings are you? LMAO.
I really like The Allman Brothers Band but the only album I had from them on CD that I listened to a lot was Eat A Peach. Unfortunately I don't have it anymore.
The definition of the twin guitar sound When you have players like Duane and Dickie, a magic moment in music history is sure to happen. The Alman Brothers Band. Easily on a level with Zeppelin when it comes to influence on other musicians and bands. And to top it off, way better live than in studio
The greatest band in America. My opinion. 🍄 As good or better in the end as they were in the beginning..The guitar players in that band through the years was legendary in itself. From Duane to Dickie. Danny,Warren,Jack, to Jimmy & of course Derek..All stellar musicians..🍑🍄🎸 Good Job rating to..Allmost Brother.
For me 'Brothers and Sisters' will always be my favourite Allman Brothers album, it was the first one I listened to and it was their most commercially successful album for a good reason, the songs, the performances, the track running order and the production are spot on in my book!... 😊
My Top 12 Allman Brothers Albums
12. Reach for the Sky
11. Enlighten Rogues
10. Brothers of the Road
9. Hittin' The Note
8. Seven Turns
7. Shades Of 2 Worlds
6. Where It All Begins
5. Win, Lose Or Draw (Pretty Good Album)
4. Allman Brothers Band
3. Idlewild South
2. Brothers and Sisters
1. Eat A Peach
Even though it's part Live, I Love it. Blue Sky is My Favorite Allman Brothers Song.
Hittin' the Note really was an excellently produced record. It was a real visit down memory lane with some fresh guitar work from Warren and Derek.
Other than flipping "Seven Turns" and "Hittin' The Note" this would be my list as well. On any given week I may flip "Brothers and Sisters" and "Eat A Peach" but I agree with the bottom two at all times. I was fortunate enough to have been able to meet the band in 1981when I was 15 and later in 2004. The Dixie Dregs opened the show and I saw Steve Morse in the parking lot after the show. My stepfather had gone to school with him at Richmond Academy and I shouted out, "Hey, Steve! Tony Ivey told me to tell you hello." He was kind enough to stop and chat for several minutes and I asked for an autograph. Neither he or the 2 ladies with him had a pen nor did the 2 friends that were with me. He said his equipment was already loaded and he didn't have access to get me a pick but he could give me his ALL ACCESS pass if I would behave. We all 3 promised and got all 3 of their passes. I was able to chat with Butch Trucks at great length the first time and I asked if I could get something to drink. He stated I was obviously under legal drinking age and all he had in his cooler was Budweiser. He then shouted across the room to Gregg and said, "This young man needs something to drink. Can you help him out?" Gregg said, " I got Perrier water if that will work." Gregg motioned me over and handed me two small bottles of Perrier water, one which I drank immediately (only time I ever had it, didn't like it so much) and the other I kept, unopened, until it was lost during a move in 1998.
What a magnificent band! I love pretty much everything the Allmans ever did, so this list could definitely change. Here’s my personal ranking of the albums, with the top eight all being absolute masterpieces:
1. Eat A Peach
2. The Allman Brothers Band (self-titled)
3. Idlewild South
4. Shades Of Two Worlds
5. Seven Turns
6. Brothers And Sisters
7. Hittin’ The Note
8. Where It All Begins
9. Enlightened Rogues
10. Win, Lose Or Draw
11. Reach For The Sky
12. Brothers Of The Road (still a decent album)
Thanks PETE my brother who passed away in 2013 loved the brothers so much we were visiting our cousin in Atlanta we went to Macon to see the burial site then government MULE at the ROXY which I never heard of and was blown away one of the GREAT shows. Keep up the good work you ROCK my friend.
My favorite American band of all time! Saw them 36 times. No bad line ups. The interaction between Warren Haynes and Dickey and, or, Derek Trucks was a great as anything the band ever did. Of course, the original line up was the best, but those who cut off ties with the band after Duane died having really been missing out!
My partial list goes like this:
9. Hittin' the Note (2003)
8. Enlightened Rogues (1979)
7. Where it All Begins (1994)
6. Brothers and Sisters (1973)
5. Seven Turns (1990)
4. Shades of Two Worlds (1991)
3. Eat a Peach (1972)
2. Idlewild South (1970)
1. The Allman Brothers Band (1969)
I have all of the others. There are the occasional good cuts, but none of them, for me, belong in this group. Nice job, Pete!
Love the Allman Brothers, sadly never came near to where I lived. Hopefully Pete you will do a rating of the, Govt Mule albums.
Yes please!! It would be great.
GOVERNMENT MULE what a great band saw them in Atlanta in 96 at the ROXY my brother who loves the brothers said to me and our cousin who was the one living there that we got to see the MULE and what a show only saw them about five times before Allen died the last time I saw was at Croton park on the Hudson and then about four or five times after that one great show they played was at the BEACON THEATER on New Year's eve and they had JASON NEWSTEAD ON bass and he was smiling the whole time you can tell he was having a ball .I seen him in METALLICA several times and he never smiled like that .WARREN is just so talented we ever he plays you got to bring your A game .I have seen him play be it the brother or the dead he was always amazing.
Right on Pete does my favorite band . On my B day
I wish they would have put out at least one more album with the last line up, that album is fantastic.
This changes all the time but today
I rank them like this
5 shades of two worlds
4 Back Where it all began
3 Hitting the Note
2 Brothers and sisters
1 Debut album
agreed. That final line-up was AMAZING!
Happy Birthday. I love the ABB!
A great band with brilliant musicians
My number 1. Idlewid South- Exciting, subtle, reflective, expressive. In love from the first hearing. Their first album I bought
2.Debut- Hypnotic solos. Tempo changes, energy-rich bass and powerful two drum kits. The instruments unite their forces, a stunning impression. A lot of emotions.
3.Eat a peach- They showed how great musicians they are even after the death of one of the brothers. Great album
4.Seven Turns- Return in a big way. What an album opening! Fresh and full life. Warren and Dickey what a duo. Fantastic songs.
5.Shades of Two Worlds- Album as good as the previous one. They were in great shape.
6.Brothers and Sisters- Very good album. Feel a different direction of the group's sound and style but in a good sense. I like this album.
7.Hittin' the note- I didn't expect this album to be that good. Is fantastic. Back to their best. Great production.
8.Win Lose or Draw-A very strong start. Genius High Falls. The more I listen, the more I like it but you can hear that the air has started to run.
9.Enlightened Rogues- Feel the vitality, energy and determination. A really good album. A lot of emotion
10.Where it all Begins- Most consistency of all albums. Great rhythmically. It's pleasant to listen to.
11.Reach for the Sky- Is this the same band? A bit trivial album. I like From the Madness of the West
12. Brothers of the Road- It's hard to listen to this album.Has some interesting moments, some good guitar solo.
PS. Thank's Pete for Allmans. What do you think about the ranking Dire Straits? It's hard to find something about them at your channel.
Good overview that. Dire Straits made one of the great debut albums and the next two were solid before they descended into overblown stadium epics. It all started to go wrong when the brothers fell out. Mark's best playing is often on other people's albums. As much as I like his solo releases he's never recaptured the wonder of that first Dire Straits album and the majestic Sultans of Swing.
From the 1st time I heard it, Idlewild South has always been my top Allman's album. Someone a few miles from me had a street sign made & placed it at the end of their driveway that says Idlewild South. 😎
PETE, I really enjoy hearing you rank albums from many classic bands, I'm of your generation and share your appreciation of many of the bands you mention. I have looked to see if you have ranked the albums of Wishbone Ash and see you haven't done it yet. I wondered if you are working towards this or have plans to do so in future. Please keep it up, thank you.
Has there been a countdown of “Best Comeback Albums”? I think that would be interesting to here Pete’s take on that.
Back in Black has to be the best.
Great idea
@@ericb.1384 Heaven and Hell too, and probably many others
Glad you did Allman Brothers. Early years before tragedies, they were top of their game. One of the best Jam Bands of all time!
They were never a "jam band", as Gregg said, they were a band that jams!
@@obbor4 agreed! yes they were!!!
I'd argue that the later band with Warren and Derek were the equal of the Duane years. The songwriting wasn't as strong but they put out some very fine albums in the 90s.
@@PhilBaird1 I agree. And, as a live band, they so much more capable. I'm certain that Duane would have improved vastly over the years, as well, but it's not like he needed to. The abilities of people seasoned by decades of playing are generally vastly improved, if they can stay relatively straight most of the time. The lack of personal discipline showed, in spades, as far as Dickey was concerned. By the time they replaced with Derek Trucks, the younger guy was a much more capable player and a better band mate. The ABB throughout their later years was every bit as good as the classic lineup as a live band.
Another terrific list Pete. Definitely agree with you on the majority of these here. Would love to see you rank Meshuggah’s studio albums 👏🏻
Loved the 90’s records. Saw them many times including when Zakk Wydle.
awesome ranking Pete!! Long Live The Allman Brothers!! \m/ \m/
Never saw the band but got to see Gregg solo when i lived in Vegas. Great show. He had a fantastic bluesy voice. He and his voice r missed. R.I.P. Gregg. May u continue playing that great music with ur brother Duane and Butch.
I'm pretty sure my neighbors have heard "Rockin' Horse" from "Hittin' The Note" album & "Nobody Knows" from "Shades Of Two Worlds" loud & clear by now!
I'm missing a good chuck that came out between Brothers and Sisters and Seven Turns (I do own the box set, though). So, here's a top five of what I know well:
1. Where it All Begins (It's one of my favorite 90's albums. It just sounds perfect to me.)
2. Eat a Peach
3. Brothers and Sisters
4. Idlewild South
5. The Allman Brothers Band
All their 90s albums are superb in my opinion. Live, they just killed it with that line-up.
@@seaoftranquilityprog Kill it, they did! Anytime Warren Haynes stepped onto a stage to do battle with Dickey, or Derek, it was explosive. Dickey kept turning his amps up to eleven and these guys went at each other tooth and nail for the better part of two and half hours every night.
"Come and Go Blues" Hank Williams Jr. does a great remake of that song.
yeah bringing in a couple of government mules Warren Haynes late Allen Woody.
just like that early eighties with the Toler boys both gone now also.
Big fan of your channel and a great list Pete! They actually lost Berry Oakley during the recording of Brothers and Sisters, not Eat a Peach. Berry is playing bass on 'Wasted Words' and 'Ramblin' Man' and Lamar Williams plays bass on the rest of the tracks. It's an incredible testament to the strength of the band that they could continue after the loss of both Duane and Berry and still produce music of such great quality.
One of my favourite bands of all time and glad to see them several times during their renaissance revival in the 1990’s.
Please do Mott the Hoople, if you haven't done it yet. Love your comments, very fair points of view.
My personal fave Allman albums list is a bit shorter than yours, but longer on minutes of pleasure:
1. Brothers And Sisters (38)
2. Enlightend Rogues (38)
3. Eat A Peach (36)
4. Seven Turns (35)
5. Allman Brothers Band (33)
6. Idlewild South (31)
Leavin' off Brothers of the Road is my favorite. Enlightened Rogues is one of my favorite LPs. Saw them in '79 on this tour with Hank JR warming up. The Brothers played for 4 hrs
1 - Eat A Peach
2 - Idlewild
3 - S/T
4 - Brothers And Sisters
5 - Enlightened Rogues
6 - Hittin' The Note
7 - Win, Lose Or Draw
8 - Where It All Begins
9 - Shades Of Two Worlds
10 - Seven Turns
11 - The other 2 early 80's stuff
well, i just don't get Seven Turns pretty much because the way the album sounds, but there are good songs on it. Fillmore it's outworldly and i love the first 7 on the list, even win lose or draw, which, in my opinion, could sound better (high falls it's amazing).
Oh, have you all heard the allman betts band? I dig their debut album too :)
Gr8 choices. Mine differ slightly but can't go wrong with any of them.
Great job
Hey Pete. I just wanted to speak up and encourage you for the outstanding job that you have been doing the last couple of weeks. With the loss of a highly significant family member, I wouldn't have blamed you if you took some well deserved time away from us. I would like to throw out a suggestion to you. Not all of us are "completest" and don't necessarily need a complete best to worst. For a band or artist that has a huge catalog, Like Elton John, I would settle for a top 10,15, 20 of your favorites, like you are doing with the Allman Brothers live albums. I would venture to say that a majority of us that subscribe to your channel are curious enough to possibly seek out what is not included if we enjoy an artist music enough. I guess I am suggesting, that it's your channel, we love what you do and continue to allow yourself to have the freedom to continue to have the freedom to present your passion without imposing rules for artists that you love, no matter how big or small of a catalog they may have. Just a suggestion. God bless.
Allmans, Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Outlaws, Blackfoot, Doc Holiday, Point Blank, ARS, great stuff
I saw all of them live except for Doc Holliday. A guaranteed night great guitar workouts for each and every show by every one of these bands!
What about MARSHALL TUCKER BAND?
They are so underrated it's insane.
First 5 LP's some of the greatest and most original southern rock of all time
Ranking The Allman Brothers Band albums. All amazing, next video. Thanks Pete😎👍
Gonna agree with you totally Pete! Here it is around 50 years after the first to Brothers & Sisters and a few weeks ago my mind went back to my high school days and have listened to nothing else. 2nd lp almost a tie for #1 though. Greetings from Nashville, Tennessee area.
Thanks for that Pete. Got hold of a nice 5 classic albums CD box set, including all your top 4 plus the Fillmore East live album :-)
Thanks Pete, I grew up near Macon, GA where they are revered as the greatest. Tragic, triumphant band that never fails to take me back. Cheers!
Another great list, Pete. While you were doing your Van Halen ranking, I was thinking "When is that Allman Brothers list coming out?"....and bingo bango, here it is. Well done!
And for anyone interested, I'd recommend the 40th Anniversary Live at the Beacon video (yep. It's on YT). 2:30 minutes of bliss. The performance is dynamic....and Derek is incredible.
I heard Revival on the radio in 1970 (real coincidence because I never heard it played again at that time) and went to check for the band at the local record store. They had a special sale - if you bought the album you would get the first album that went unnoticed in our country for a few coins along with it. When I came home I put on the debut first and that opening sequence of the Spencer Davis tune seguing into It's Not My Cross to Bear made me an addict right away. They remained on my top shelf ever since. Giants.
1. Allman Brothers Band (Just 33 minutes long and you would not want to miss a single second)
2. Idlewild South (Just 31 minutes long and you would not want to miss a single second)
3. Brothers and Sisters
4. Win, Lose or Draw (Their most underrated album)
5. Shades of Two Worlds
6. Eat a Peach (Their most overrated album, the best of it is on Fillmore and the rest sadly unfinished - I prefer the Vol 1 of the Duane Allman Anthology that has great performances he provided as a studio musicians to the stars of his era - I discovered a lot of interesting artists this way - just listen to Duane and Wilson Pickett taking Hey Jude into the stratosphere...)
7. Seven Turns
8. Where It All Begins
9. Enlightened Rogues
10. Hitting the Note
11. Brothers of the Road
12. Reach for the Sky
Must have's - Dickey Betts' Atlanta's Burning Down and the first Great Southern album + Pattern Disruptive. Gregg's solo recordings (except for his Cher duet), he only very late received recognition as one of the great rock vocalists.
Great post Roxanne and a good ranking. I passed up the Gregg + Cher album for years but found it to be a lot better than critics suggested. Cher was one of the great Southern soul singers at the time. It's well worth checking out.
Love, love love the Allman Brothers! Great listing Pete. One very small clarification - Seven Turns did not have Chuck Leavell, the other keyboard player (and songwriter) was Johnny Neel. He played with Dickey in Great Southern, and Dickey brought him into the revamped ABB.
My meaty Petey P... please rank Bowie. Quarantine is making me craz
Great list Pete. The only difference I would have would to move Seven Turns up a spot or two. Otherwise I agree completely.
For a real treat listen to Dickie's DUANE'S TUNE from his album PATTERN DISRUPTIVE A little jazzy with some soaring guitar. Thanks
Shades of Two Worlds is soooo good. I play it start to finish all the time
Good list Pete. Their 90s albums were very very good. As good as their classic stuff. Saw them in 1990.
I like all of these and would not be opposed to listening to any of them. That said:
12) Brothers of the Road
11) Reach for the Sky
10) Enlightened Rogues
9) Win, Lose or Draw
8) Seven Turns
7) Shades of Two Worlds
6) Hittin' the Note
5) Where It All Begins
4) Brothers and Sisters
3) The Allman Brothers Band
2) Idlewild South
1) Eat a Peach
The top four could change at any time. They're pretty equal to me. Thanks, Pete!
Great band easily my favorite southern rock band. Here’s my ranking

2. Idlewild South
3. Self titled
4. Eat a Peach

I really enjoyed this video Pete the commentary on the Allman Brothers is excellent album by album I’m so glad the Allman Brothers are one of your favorite bands I’m really into the Allman Brothers thanks for giving dickey Betts credit and mentioning Warren of course but the great dickey Betts is so underrated! This is a hard one because there’s a lot of albums that have equal great songs and then there’s a few albums that have some mediocre tunes but have some really strong ones on there so they fit in a certain pile or category!
Fantastic shirt that shirt rocks!
Gregg Allman was one hell of a songwriter.
I got a request. The Kinks are my 3rd favorite band. How about ranking of their albums. They have had so many great albums.
Top ten greatest live bands ever Pete, always put on incredible shows; my top 5
1.Eat A Peach
2.Allman Bros. Band
3.Idewild South
4.Shades of two Worlds
5.Brothers and Sisters
Didnt really get in to the eighties material but their Nineties material was incredible. Thanks Pete.
Pete, great great great one ! You turned me onto “ Where it all begins” and I’m not done watching !!
My top Ten Studio Albums are
1) Eat a Peach
2) Brothers & Sisters
3) Idawild South
4) Seven Turns!
5) Win Lose or Draw
6) The Allman Brothers Band
7) Where it all Began
8) Shades of Grey
9) Enlightened Rogues
10) Reach for the Sky
Perfect list. I have always had the debut as my fave as well. And "Liz Reed" is not only my favorite ABB song as well, it is in my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Thanks again Mr. Pardo!
I've only ever had 4 Allman Brothers albums: *Eat A Peach, Brothers & Sisters, Seven Turns,* and *Shades Of Two Worlds,* and they were all fucking amazing. No preference. All great. I also had their A&M Records 25th Anniversary Greatest Hits collection, but that doesn't count for these purposes. What a truly original and amazing band they were. RIP Duane, Berry, Butch and Gregg. 🙌🏻
I would swap Eat a Peach with Brothers and Sisters. I like Gov't Mule so I will have to check out the Warren Haynes ones. I honestly did not know there were studio records with him. I gave up after Enlightened Rogues. I like your show, I stumbled on to it a couple months ago. I'm waiting for the Zappa rankings.
And I don’t own the clothes I’m wearing/ and the road goes on forever/and I’ve got one more silver dollar / but I’m not gon let em catch me , no ,/ not gonna let em catch the midnight rider. I may not be the hugest ALLMAN Bro’s Fan. /. But damn this song. /. I always loved! Tremendous! Thx for another great episode PETE. Needed some music / and your voice. After learning last night / my two daughters awesome volleyball coach was taken away at 58 from this dreaded virus. R. I. P.
I think you got it right these guys were always one of my favorite bands. Gregg Allman's biography he says they slapped that first album together way faster than they wanted. Some times that is a good formula for a great album they didn't overthink it.
1) The Allman Brothers Band
2) Idlewild South
3) Eat a Peach
4) Brothers and Sisters
5) Enlightened Rogues
6) Seven Turns
7) Shades of Two Worlds
8) Where It All Begins
9) Hittin’ the Note
10) Win, Lose or Draw
11) Reach for the Sky
12) Brothers of the Road
I think it would be cool if you could show us all the albums in the background that we can see the cover to. Some have been there for a while and I can only recognize a couple!
Top tier for me:
Shades of Two Worlds
Brothers And Sisters
Back Where It All Begins
Debut
Idlewild South
Eat A Peach
...a number of the live albums also make it into the mix for me, most notably the A&R Sessions and Ludlow Garage
Good list! If you could include Live albums where would Fillmore East compared to their studio albums?
Great job thanks 👍, I got first album, Fillmore eat a peach, Idlewild South, brothers and sisters. I caught the first tour after Duane passed with DR. John great show, so sorry I missed Duane but Berry was there
D'you listen to the Derek Trucks solo stuff?
Yes indeed!
My favorite brothers and sisters
Enlightened Rogues is such a great album. Pegasus is the highlight
Hadn't realised they'd put out so few studio albums in among all the compilations and live albums. The only two I haven't got are the two 80s releases which you ranked last. All the others are well worth a listen and have some great stuff on them. I think the band were reborn with Warren and then Derek, and they were sensational in their latter years. Your list is pretty much my own Pete, with those first few releases being the essential core material of the band's career. Music for all time.
My favorite Allman Bros album is At Fillmore East but this is studio albums. My top 2 have to be Eat A Peach and Brothers And Sisters. Dickey Betts is underrated. Glad I got to see them when he was in the band in 98. I know Eat A Peach has some live songs on it but the studio stuff is among the Allmans's best imo.
Having seen Betts a few times live, you are so spot on
Unrelated topic - do you collect /have any gig posters? Care to show them off? Regards. Seb
I saw Greg Allman in West Palm Beach who told us: “You’re a pretty good audience. For Florida.”
My two favorite are:
1970 Idlewild South
1973 Brothers and Sisters
Haha, was that show at Coral Sky Amphitheater in 1997?
Hey Pete...love the Allmans...I gotta say...I was really into them back in the day....in the 70's and early 80's...I really liked Win Lose or Draw and Enlightened Rogues.....and Reach for the Sky and Brothers of the Road had enough good material to make them worth it....and live they were excellent during rhat phase.....thanks...
1) The Allman Brothers Band (1969)
2) Live At Fillmore East (1971)
3) Eat A Peach (1972)
4) Idlewild South (1970)
5) Seven Turns (1990)
Can I suggest the albums of .38 Special to rank or even songs?
He did that with a buddy of his.
Thanks for rating the ABB! In 1973 I bought the album "Beginnings" (the re-release of their first 2 albums). It was one of my first albums I bought at the ripe age of 14, and love them still to this day. Gregg solo stuff is good too. Again Thank You!
1. Live At Fillmore East
2. Eat A Peach
3. Brothers And Sisters
4. The Allman Brothers Band
5. Idlewild South
Thanks Pete. Love the Allman Brothers. But, don't have all their albums. This will help :)
i agree with your placings pete apart from i would place win lose or draw a bit higher but i can see why didnt
I was just playing Little Martha on my acoustic yesterday . The one song Duane Allman wrote and the last one he recorded . It made me a little misty eyed . Much love to the Allman Bothers .
My rank:
1 Idlewild South
2 The Allman Brothers Band
3 Brothers & Sisters
4 Eat the Peach
5 Shades of Two Worlds
6 Seven Turns
7 Hittin' the Note
8 Where It All Begins
9 Win, Lose or Draw

6. Where It All Begins
I got a copy of Eat A Peach on CD in the mail yesterday. Phenomenal album! Love the cover art on it too.
Always loved the Allman Brothers and their music. When Warren Haynes and Allen Woody joined in the early 90's, it really gave the band a shot of energy in the music. That being said, what are the chances are a ranking list of Gov't Mule studio albums?
#1 for me is Brothers and Sisters
2 Eat A Peach
3 Self Titled
4 idlewild South
5 Where It All Begins
6 Seven Turns
7 Hittin The Note
8 Shades Of Two Worlds
9 Enlightened Rogues
10 Reach For The Sky
11 Brothers Of The Road
12 Win Lose Or Draw
Got a BGO Compilation, Reach for the Sky/Brothers on the road. Nice pack, generally agree with the ranking. Only missing Hittin' the note but gonna get it eventually.
It does not get any better. The Frickin Allman Brothers Band.
Eat a Peach ranks higher than Brothers and Sisters, but other than that, you're spot on. the Doc of Rock has spoken. I still think of their first two albums as one album because I had the Polydor reissue of the two called Beginnings.
I'm with you on numbers 12 through 5, but my top 4 would be 4) Idlewild 3) Brothers & Sisters 2) Debut and 1) Eat A Peach, But let's be real, those top 4 are splitting hairs. Saw the Allman's twice in the 90's at Jones Beach, NY. The second time was the same day as Jerry Garcia's death. Those 90's Allman albums are excellent, "Nobody Knows" from Shades of Two Worlds is one of my all-time favorite Allman's songs.
I Like the early 70's and the First Reunion with Dan Toler especially !
(This is really Hard - I try it)

Anybody know where i can purchase the Allmans shirt Pete is wearing??????
Seven Turns is great. I saw them at the Fox Theater in St. Louis in 1990 on that tour (George Thorogood and the Destroyers opened.) Also love Shades of Two Worlds, great album.
1. The Allman Bros. Band (debut)
2. Idlewild South
3. Seven Turns
4. Shades of Two Worlds
5. Eat a Peach
I pretty much agree with this list but I would swap the number 1 and 2 choices .
The Allman Brothers Band album was recorded in New York with Adrian
Barber producing . Its a great album but Idlewild South was recorded in
Miami with the great Tom Dowd producing . The band must have felt
much more comfortable recording on home turf . I bought these two
albums on vinyl in the ' 70's as a double album called Beginnings .
I don't know if they were released in this format in the US .
Eat a Peach was the first ABB album I bought .
Beginnings was released in the 🇺🇸 as a double album .
Can you do a list of songs you love by bands you hate?
I really hate Poison, but Body Talk from Native Tongue is such a good song, probably only because of Richie Kotzens guitar playing. A guy who definitely used that band as a vehicle for his own, much more mature guitar playing.
you ever get the 40th anniversary my brothers and sisters I know you got the deluxe edition of Fillmore you showed that before..
brothers and sisters has so many demos and studios and outtakes it's longer than the actual album 72 minutes..I'm glad to have that one too there's some really great extended jams and some cool songs instrumental a southbound before the vocals were added very cool you can also check it all out on RUclips by just putting in brothers and sisters Allman Brothers 40th anniversary deluxe and you can hear all the extra cuts...it's one that I am going to probably have to order again because I've burned through and worn-out disc two more than I've have disc 1 lol
As much as I loved the early stuff as Duane was king but man, did I love those 90s albums. All great stuff! Saw them live in ‘92 and ‘94.
Saw the Allmans when Hittin' The Note was out, it was a great show.
My list: 1. Debut, 2. Idlewild South, 3. Brothers And Sisters, 4. Eat A Peach, 5. Hitting The Note, 6. Seven Turns, 7. Where It All Begins, 8. Shades Of Two Worlds, 9. Brothers Of The Road, 10. Reach For The Sky, 11. Win, Lose Or Draw and 12. Enlightened Rogues
After the 4 early albums Hitting The Note is next for me. I have seen them live many times. The live versions of Desdemona and Maydell are killer. So thankful for Instant Live recordings. You are not including them in the live collection rankings are you? LMAO.
Kudos for the "High Falls" shoutout. That song doesn't get nearly enough love. It's like if "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "Jessica" had a baby.
I really like The Allman Brothers Band but the only album I had from them on CD that I listened to a lot was Eat A Peach. Unfortunately I don't have it anymore.
Favs no order
Idlewild south
Brothers and sisters
Where it all begins
Allman brothers band
Eat a peach
Yes. Their 90’s and 00’s studio albums are fantastic
Eat a Peach and Idlewild South, are the only ones I have heard by the Allman Brothers, great albums
The definition of the twin guitar sound
When you have players like Duane and Dickie, a magic moment in music history is sure to happen. The Alman Brothers Band. Easily on a level with Zeppelin when it comes to influence on other musicians and bands. And to top it off, way better live than in studio
Damn shame the group only managed 2 studio albums while Duane was alive. : (
