I had the great pleasure of seeing The Allman Brothers 3 times before Duane died, once after. I was at this performance. They had a lot of influences from gospel, to T-Bone Walker, to James Brown, to Miles Davis. In my life I've seen perhaps 500 live music acts and they remain the most exciting live R&&/R&B act I've ever seen. They never failed to deliver. From this same performance do "Stateboro Blues", "One Way Out", and from a later live performance, "Don't Keep Me Wondering". RIP Berry, Duane, Greg and Butch. We still miss you.
Their Fillmore East Album is preserved in the Library of Congress It’s considered one of the best live recordings in music history You need to give it a listen 🔥✌️
Duane Allman guitar, Gregg Allman organ, songwriter and vocals, unbelievably talented drummers, guitarists, Southern Rock Jam band. Just as great today as it was in 1970.
Simply put: One of the greatest bands to ever walk on a stage. Talented, skillful, soulful, funky, jazzy, bluesy, and rockin..ABB... James Brown dug them and they dug him...For som ereason, the camera man pays little attention to Dickie Betts ,even though he splits leads with Duane as normal...
when a person say something and the guitar answers its called call and response sometimes its two instruments doing the same thing im glad you noticed!
THESE CATS ARE ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER...BLUES,SOUL,GOSPEL....AWESOME MUSICIANS....Dude ain't no disrespect dropping James Brown influence....Duane Allman and Dickie Betts tearing it up on guitars and Greg Allman on that 3M organ and vocals...Butch Trucks on percussion....SMOKING
They were f***ing monsters. Berry Oakley, the bass player, came up with that opening riff, which he stole from Rachmaninoff's Cello Concerto. Duane played like his soul was on fire. He was left handed, which is one of the reasons he had such incredible control on the frets. On the closing night at the Fillmore East, they went on at Two in the morning and played straight through until Seven. Also, one of their favorite traveling albums was 'Kind Of Blue; by Miles Davis and that whole set was as close to perfect as music ever got. If you want to be the best, you have to steal from the best.
Gregg Allman singer, song writer and keyboards was alone, couldn’t find pen and paper so he wrote this song on an ironing board with burnt matches. Duane Allman first lead guitar, Dicky Betts second lead guitar, Berry Oakley bass, Butch Trucks drums, Jai Johnny Johanson drums. The next year on October 29, 1971 Duane Allman was killed on his motorcycle. One year and 12 days later on November 11th 1972 Berry Oakley died from a motorcycle accident 3 blocks from where Duane died. It was said that Berry was lost without Duane, drank to much. He initially refused help but was rushed to the hospital hours later with cerebral bleeding from a skull fracture.
The back and forth between Greg, singer, and Duane, guitarist, is called "call and response". Led Zeppelin does this a lot with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page🎶🎸🎵🎸
The Allman Brothers are the ones that brought the blues to southern rock. Started by Gregg Allman (singer/organ) and Duane Allman (lead/slide guitar), they created some of greatest music ever recorded (in my opinion) before Duane Allman tragically died in a motorcycle accident in '71. Duane Allman is widely regarded as the greatest slide guitarist to ever play. Their song Dreams is my personal favorite, I think you guys would enjoy it too.
@@jerryadkins5418 Other drummer was Jai Johanson and bass was Berry Oakley, who unfortunately also passed away in a motorcycle accident a year after Duane.
The version from Fillmore East,that flows from a 22 minute Whipping Post into a 34 minute Mountain Jam,is the magnum opus for American music period in my opinion.
The Allman Brothers literally invented southern rock. It’s a beautiful mix of blues, rock, and some gospel roots flavoring the stew. This band stands alone.
It is called Heavy Blues influence. A lot Rock Bands from that era where influenced by blues. Led Zeppelin as well. Love the Channel and the reactions😁❤️
Influenced by the Blues - Taj Mahal, Sonny Boy Williamson, Junior Wells, Otis Redding, The Godfather of Soul James Brown, Chuck Berry, Johnnie Johnson, Otis Redding and many more!!
ABB is the perfect mesh of Southern Rock, blues, jazz and Soul all wrapped up in a neat little package for your listening pleasure. Sit back and enjoy the ride!
Well now you're getting to it. Real music, played by real people in front of real people in real time. It doesn't get much better. Thanks for this one.
Love the Allman Bros. !! I play them a lot. Great music. This is a great song. Pretty straight forward meaning. Like I've said before, 70s is the best !!!
These guys are the best Blues Band of all time. Back in 1971, when I went to Vietnam, some of the Black guys in my outfit turned me on to The Allman Brothers Band. I've loved their soulful music and vocals of Keyboards player Greg Allman, and the great slide guitar of Brother Duane Allman. Sadly, Duane died in a motorcycle accident just a couple of years later in 1973, I think. Greg passed a few years ago in his mid 70s. Please play more of this great Blues Band.
Not sure why you are saying they are one of the most under appreciated bands ever ? Couldn't be further from the truth,and they are revered world wide as one of the premier bands ever !
The blues gets bounced back and forth between England and the US over the years and the influences tend to sharpen, and in the Allmans case, they definitely introduced elements of progressive rock and jazz fusion as you can see here. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed is another one, an instrumental in this vein as well. Really improves your musical vocabulary listening and playing along on your instrument with these!
Had to add my 2 cents worth...reading about "Whipping Post" having a James Brown influence reminded me of Gregg once saying when he first started singing his mother (Geraldine) said that he "sang like James Brown without lips". The Brothers were certainly as tight as the best bands that James Brown fronted - The Brothers just loved taking the music "out there" when playing live. My motto: " there's The Brothers and then there's all the others".
The ABB is one of my fav live bands!! They are a heavy blues-influenced jam band with elements of Jazz, Southern Rock, Rock & Roll, Country, and oh so jammy. Check out _Dreams, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Blue Sky, Jessica, One Way Out, Statesboro Blues, Trouble No More, Soulshine, Revival, Stormy Monday, and Hot 'Lanta_ just to name a few...The Allman Brothers are a fantastic rabbit hole to jump into. Please do more ABB reactions, especially live!! RIP Skydog
This is the version recorded in the theater. The remixed it later improving the sound. That version is on Live at The Fillmore and is 26 minutes long. THAT'S the one you want to listen to.
Please please have a listen to In Memory of Elizabeth Reed ( At Fillmore East, 1971 ), Duane Allman does an awesome solo. Thanks for watching this, one of many on my playlist by them.
One of my favorite things about them is they had an African American drummer , i met him a few years ago. in 1970 they were clearly ahead of their times!!! Love it
Yeah, I dig it. James Brown had that presence and great vocal tone. Instrumentally, these guys really bring a kind of Southern-fried jazz that's so smooth. Great reaction, guys.
My #1 band of the three greatest southern rock bands of all time. Nothing but pure talent and the best music ever. Try “Fillmore East” considered one of the best live albums ever recorded. Hahahahahahahaha, James Brown? LOL.....thank you needed that. The guitarist are Duane Allman the blond and Dickey Betts the dark hair. Two of the best duet pairs with their uncanny ability to play off each other, knowing exactly where the other one would go next. Gregg Allman on keys and lead vocals was know for his raspy, bluesy vocals. Drummers were Jaimoe “Jai” Johanson and Butch Trucks. Bassist was Barry Oakley. I was lucky enough to see these guys in concert numerous times and I was never let down. They were unbelievable!
One of the things The Allman Brothers did was master the art of playing dual synchronized lead guitars. You can only hear it a little bit at the end of this song but some songs they do it for much or most of the song.
Macon, Georgia is the connection. It has an amazing musical history. Otis Redding and Little Richard were definitely born there, James Brown claimed to be, and The Allman Brothers Band made it their home base. It’s not that big, so the musicians there all influenced each other.
The Allman Brothers are amazing. My dad and uncle listen to them all the time. I also love Gregg's solo stuff, his interviews, like the one with Dan Rather, his stories of his addictions and problems really helped me, watch the video song for adam with him and jackson browne. Multi colored lady, these days, melissa, live in Macon, too many things I can recommend or think of, the tribute videos, etc.
Is the video sped up? It sounds faster. Yes, it absolutely does sound like James Brown. Why would that offend anyone?? The Allman Brothers combined Country Rock with R & B got their unique sound and started a new trend. Greg, Duane, and Dickie Betts all wrote music. Betts had a more country sound, Greg wrote his combo sound, and Duane was a slide guitar genius. The Allman Brothers is a deep rabbit hole.
One of my favorite bands right there. So glad y'all enjoyed that. "Ain't Wasting Time No More" from the Eat a Peach album is a good one. "Statesboro Blues" from the Filmore East live is another. But they got a ton of great music. You gotta check out the band Gov't Mule. Kinda like the Allman Brothers on steroids.
This double live album was put out the year I was born. It kills! Live albums are a lost art. It's refreshing to see young people like yourselves appreciate this music.
When Duane Allman (the blonde guitar player) was putting the band together he wanted two drummers because James Brown had two drummers. He wanted that energy. That's why they had two lead guitars instead of a lead and rhythm guitars too. Wanted that big powerful sound.
I hear ya. Alot of soul with the Allman Brothers, and the James Brown reference is a good one. Alot of similarities. React to " No way out " next. Greg Allman has that soulful voice, with Dickey Betts, and Duane Allman on guitar 🎸. Just an Amazing Group.
The GREAT ALL MAN BROTHERS BAND! It’s a poll they tie you to so they can whip you...HOLY MOLY. Come on dude! You’re tripping...it’s the blues! James was much different, James was Rhythm and Blues. Actually he was Funk before it was a genre.
This is the blues, which pretty much originated from slaves. They would sing and what-not to keep their spirits up. As for this song, a whipping post was what slaves were tied too when they were beaten by there "owners". It was used to "break them" or to break their spirits. In this song he is saying he feels like he has been tied to that post because of his broken heart and how she treated him. She "broke" him.
Good review. Whipping Post is a great southern rock song. Here is a short list of some others since you like it: The Outlaws - Ghost Riders in the Sky, Marshall Tucker Band - Can’t You See, Blackfoot- Train, Train and Eagles SevenBridges Road. They are all very, very good. I had to revise the list because they already did Free Bird. 😀
One drummer would need to be an octopus to play all of that. Allman Brothers had two drummers, sometimes three. Duane's guitar is crazy good, isn't it? Jimmy Hendrix and Duane were the two best guitarists of their time, and both died within a year of each other. Both in their 20's, what a loss.
Duane kills the guitar and Gregg plays piano and sings. They were some of the founders of southern rock. Gregg plays a song by himself with an acoustic guitar, it's called "come and go blues". Great song👍🏼🔥
They're more of a blues-based jam band than anything else. "Southern Rock" influences but so much more than just simply Southern Rock. I think Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band, The Doobie Brothers, Molly Hatchet are more straightforward Southern Rock. The ABB has a more complex sound imho
Great reaction as usual! I don't think this was the best version but good Southern Blues anyways! Please react to Ain't My Cross To Bear and One Way Out next please!!! Don't stop with just one!🤓💞💞💞✌🎼
Duane Allman guitar, Gregg Allman organ, songwriter and vocals, unbelievably talented drummers, guitarists, Southern Rock Jam band. Just as great today as it was in 1970. Maybe better, we can appreciate it more.
Good observation about James Brown, I never made that connection before - but I hear it. Gregg has that same raw, singing voice, from the soul and gut.
You must check out the Frank Zappa “tribute” to this band - Frank’s is an unbelievable version; there again, he is/was the best guitarist in the world ever being my opinion. But, wait for others to comment upon. In the UK here...
My fav from the Allman's. Duane "Skydog" Allman was in rare form that night. Tragic he died so young, for such a silly reason. None of the originals left, but Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks do an excellent Whipping Post. Good post.
Main guitar player is Duane Allman arguably the greatest guitar player ever, it's always an argument between him, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan or so.
Back in the day, we took music like this for granted. We thought it would always be this good. We didn't know how lucky we were!
Exactly we had so much great music we didn't appreciate what we had.
I had the great pleasure of seeing The Allman Brothers 3 times before Duane died, once after. I was at this performance. They had a lot of influences from gospel, to T-Bone Walker, to James Brown, to Miles Davis.

The Allman Brothers Band were an American Treasure. No joke. I hear that. There's definitely soul in there. Along with blues, rock, jazz & country.
And southern gospel music
One Way Out, Stormy Monday, Jessica are next! Best American band ever!
James Brown from Augusta, GA. and the Allman Brothers Band just 2 hours away in Macon Ga.,, so you do have that great southern soulful voice!
Need to listen to album version! Also they were soooooo young! 2 lead guitarist and 2 drummers. Definitely blues ... DEFINITELY
when a person say something and the guitar answers its called call and response sometimes its two instruments doing the same thing im glad you noticed!

Lead singer on keyboards Greg Allman and lead guitarist Duane Allman! Second lead guitar Dickie Betts!
That was mind blowing 🤯
Live at the Fillmore East, greatest live album ever, by far!!!!
They were f***ing monsters. Berry Oakley, the bass player, came up with that opening riff, which he stole from Rachmaninoff's Cello Concerto. Duane played like his soul was on fire.

It’s jimmy plant and Robert page
@@cidfacetious3722 sure it is😆 Robert Plant, Jimmy Page of course🎶🎶
Call-and-response originally comes from Black gospel music.
The early Grateful Dead circa 66-71 also did it with Garcia on guitar and Pig singing his heart out.
Maybe the best jam band of all time. They played rock, jazz, blues, fusion. You name it and they played it. So much fricken talent!!!!

There’s a lovely gravesite in Macon where three of the guys are buried - Greg, Duane and Barry.
Great song. Definitely check out the studio version of this song
Agreed… cadence is a bit slower; enables one to really appreciate the song
Great observation on the resemblance to James Brown. I was fortunate to see J.B. live. He was quite amazing.
Southern Rock Excellence!!!!!!! My favorite: "Stormy Monday" from the Live at the Fillmore album; PURE FIRE!!!!
First song to ever give me goose bumps, the haunting guitars and the epic lyrical finish.
The Allman Brothers Band were no joke...the boys came to play. They have a huge collection of songs to be reacted to.
There is definitely soul in Gregg Allman's voice. I think it's an underrated part of the group.
After almost 40 years , I never noticed a James Brown vibe. Awesome job you guys!
Most under appreciated band ever! Please please do “one way out”
Or blue skies, Jessica, sweet Melissa
Much love
How can you say they were under appreciated... by whom?? Allman Bros are legends. Sorry to disagree with you.

Sweet Melissa ,is a pretty song
Gregg's favorite singers were Floyd Miles and Little Milton.
The next song you have to check out by them is Jessica. Hands down the greatest driving tune ever recorded.
I concur!!
What an awesome tune, the raw talent here is off the charts
My uncle’s band opened for them at Ludlow Garage in Cincinnati back around 1970-71
My father took me to see them back in 1969 lol I was only 8 yrs old ....
Dive deep into their catalogue, nearly 50 years of great songs played by legendary musicians. Best live band ever 🔥
back in the day tyhis riff was so huge everyone from stevie wonder to tim jones covered this track
If you like this one by the Allman Brothers, you need to listen to "One Way Out" and some of their other hits.
Cool Band

Main guitar player is Duane Allman arguably the greatest guitar player ever, it's always an argument between him, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan or so.
DUANE ALLMAN 🎸 🙏 RIP and Greg Allman🙏
