I am glad for your comment...because I do often get sad about the past being gone. Your words reminded me of lyrics to an Eagles song.....If I never see the good old days shining' in the sun I'll be doing' fine and then some
@@richreed9927 The stage is full of electronic equipment designed to enhance the vocal and instrumental sound, but dmbfcks can't suppress their impulse to parrot the stupidities about auto-tune etc. from each other on almost any music video. The hilariousness of it is that each and every one of them believe that what they're saying is some kind of original piece of wisdom.
today 4-21-24 is my 70th bday a cold rainy day here in Greensboro NC to continue mourning the passing of Dickey Betts 3 days ago.... i was 17yo when i saw the original lineup 7-31-1971in a carved out of a cornfield venue in North Baltimore OH just a couple weeks after release of Fillmore East.... so "when i think about the old days" it becomes very sad... DB you done good here on Earth and your 80 years here were a true blessing to your loving fans....
Buckey, 68 myself, North Georgia boy ... some deep sighs and a lot of nostalgia playing through 54 years of ABB.. even here with Johnny Carson, Greg, Warren, Dickey, and all were spot on beautiful... I was out of the country a lot during the Toler and Boyer years, didn't catch a lot of that era, but up through mid 70's and 90's on I respected all their line-ups .. never again anything like these guys, and close to home and heart.
Great thing about the whole ABB run, they always shared the stages with so many great artist. Artists considered it a great honor to perform with one of the best damn bands on the planet.
there is a song "great minds drink alike" they added a horn section after the fact and as you say even more amazing, that song came to my mind as i read your comment
@derekmoss7286 - Folks who don’t think different genres of music can’t blend together is a generalization. Rock musicians for example have been blending styles since day one. Off the top of my head: Clapton doing I Shot Tne Sheriff…Steely Dan…The Police…Red Hot Chii Peppers…Rage Against The Machine…
This jam session should be in the Smithsonian institution in the music section. What a collaboration of different types and styles of musicians getting together to create something so beautiful. This is just priceless. I miss these days of the Carson show, I was a young buck then without a care in the world. Great video,thank you.
Exactly! They're in the dictionary next to the word "Badass"! It doesn't get any better. Dickey,Gregg RIP,Warren, and all the rest of ABB, and Doc's band is awesome too. Today's music doesn't hold a candle to this. These are professional musicians at the height of their craft. Pure geniuses right here.🎸🎶
Not country in the slightest. They were referred to as “Southern Rock” but Gregg always said that they were nothing but a blues band that happened to be from the South. But not a hint of country in there, BTW. Some Jazz, sure.
Yes this sound mixing/ reinforcement and engineering is impeccable… those NBC technicians were great! The band sounds amazing …. Dickie and Warren were so tight in that lead break, then that harp behind the last verse… we tong see live music on television like that anymore… Oh baby, when the brass came in … what treat! Warren on slide and Doc Severinsen on trumpet… this is real music!
@williamlenihan7536 - Carson w the best host for music? Sounds like you get watched any Dick Cavett interviews? ua-cam.com/video/-30OfVjHw98/v-deo.html
AMAZING!!! Dickey, Warren and Gregg’s killer voice!!! Followed up with Doc the Tonight Show band!?!? Are you kidding me!!! Absolute CLASSIC!!!! Great players!!
@michaelwills1926 OK, Junior. You don't have to educate me about "blue eyed soul." Referring to men as "boys" is never appropriate. Unfortunately, African Americans, of all people, refer to grown men as "white boys," yet would be highly offended if someone responded with, "I think that's also true with black boys."
I am floored!!! Peel me up off my rug someone. If history is bound to repeat itself, how long do I have to wait for an occasion like this to come even close to a revelation? Today's music rots!!! Long Live Rock!
I saw the Allmans on this tour......EPIC!!! I consider myself extremely blessed to have had the chance to see the Allman Brothers live. They will go down in music history as one of the original badass bands that introduced us all to, not only, southern rock and blues, but ultimately to the concept of "jamming". Every jam band owes a big "thanks" to the Allman Brothers.
Was going through a separation, heartbroken. Our salesman knew my 14yr old son was playing guitar. He said here's 2 tickets for you and your son . Meet me there. Front row center. Incredible concert.
It is stunning how young Mr. Warren Haynes looks in this video. Seen him live many times, but not back this far, great collaboration with Doc Severnson and the Tonight Show Band. Lots of fun. RIP Gregg Allman, Allen Woody and Butch Trucks.
Give Warren Haynes credit too. He was a perfect fit to play with Dicky and provided a great deal of leadership that resulted in bringing Derek along. Thus, an extra two-plus decades of success. Don't believe it would have happened with anyone else but Haynes. Good stuff. Thanks for posting performances.
The Haynes/Betts duo is honestly one of the greatest in music history. Duane was a brilliant guitarist and had so much left to give the world musically, but died way too young. Warren Haynes is a brilliant guitarist in his own right and fit the Allman's style perfectly.
The Brothers were the greatest show band in the history of R&R, imho, and Gregg Allman was the best white blues singer I ever heard. RIP Duane, Berry, Gregg, and Butch. You'll never be forgotten by those who saw and heard you.
One of the most UNDERRATED bands ever!!! Not the Allmans!!! Their greatness is solidified in music history. I'm talking Doc Severanson, Eddie Shaunessy and the Tonight Show Band!!!
The Allmans were never underrated. Everyone knew they were phenomenal and one of a kind. They set a musical precedent that can't be duplicated. There's always one comment about some musician being underrated in every post. 🙄
My comment, if you read it correctly, was implying The Tonight Show Band IS the underrated band... There's always one comment replying to something they misread.
Dickeys' sound was so wonderful. The tone was warm and bold at the same time. If you only heard one note, you knew it was him playing. That is the mark of a true guitar god, to have your own sound. His death was a gutpunch to so many of us, but we are blessed to have seen him and hear him play and we can always visit him by putting on his records.
You could see Mr. Carson loved the jam session and was proud of his boys keeping pace. That was the first time I’d seen horns with the AB’s, pretty tasty
You know you're talking rock royalty when Doc comes to Johnny and says, "hey, we gotta jam with these guys." The result is a win for every viewer of any age, any musical genre.
Saw this when it aired back in 90-91 oh man this is sooooo friggin good!!! It's sad that a lot of these great musicians are gone. Doc, Warren and Jaimoe are still here. Getting old sucks.
To all modern musicians on the radio, this is what talent looks like, i know you've never seen it before so take some notes though you may not know where to start. The last big band orchestra playing with arguably the best rock band. Priceless artistic talent never to be duplicated again. RIP to all, hope to here you guys again on the other side.
unbelievable to get all the horns in there....goes to show what a genius songwriter Dickey was....jazz!!!!!!!! I'll bet Doc Severinson was seriously stoked to play along
This was true late night entertainment. A comedic legend, one of the greatest rock bands in history along with the fabulous Tonight Show Orchestra. The current crop of late night "entertainers" are absolute crap compared to this . .
Many thanks to Johnny for featuring elite musicians playing the best live music ever; and very nice to see the group when they looked much younger and healthier. Awesome trumpet solo in the last song Doc!
Every member of the Tonight Show band was an A list jazz musician in his own right. The Allman Brothers went toe to toe with them and the mutual respect was obvious. I would have loved to hear the after show jam sessions after these shows.
This appearance on the Tonight Show is a great example of "buried" treasure!!! Great performances not yet discovered!! Should have no less than a half million hits here on YOU TUBE...
Lynn claughton awful it sounds like absolute shit. I heard dicky wanted to play with Lawrence welk and guy Lombardo. This is absolute shit. You need to change your post
The producer of show was angry at dicky for fucking up the green room with beer and trash Johnny Carson’s son booked the allman brothers despite Johnny’s request he didn’t Sadly his son died a year later when he dropped acid and drove off a car off a cliff while taking pictures. Allen woody fell asleep in a heroin daze while rehearsing sadly
I never tire of this video! And, with Johnny and Doc. Wonderful music you left for us to enjoy. ... thinkin' about the old days... Never to be forgotten.
I5 musicians at least when Doc's group joins the band for a live jam. What a treat! I'm glad the Tedeschi Trucks Band carries on this high level live performances.
Warren and Dickey together were SOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to the magnificence of Duane and Dickey together. Gah, what an incredible group, augmented by Doc and his guys. Musical Valhalla.............
This video is a classic performance in Rock 'n Roll history. Love the collaboration between the two bands with totally different musical styles, different genres, and different generations. Thank you Allman Brothers for taking a chance and surprising even the most diehard of fan. This shows the unifying power of music. All great musicians were present in the performance and we can all learn from this whatever walk of life we may come from.
Absolutely killin' it! I challenge anyone to name a group that played with more power, precision, and skill. RIP, Gregory. I never knew you but I always felt you were my brother.
Been an Allmans fan forever but I just can't believe how great they sounded here. As a musician myself, I know you have some good nights and bad nights....this must have been a great night for the Allman Brother Band.- and what a rare treat hearing them with Doc and the boys! And what a treat for Doc, I would bet he does not have a lot of chances to cut loose like this.
Absolutely love this band, exceptional talent everyone. Saw them perform live at the Atlanta Pop Fest in Byron, Ga. If you want to experience the feeling of that good ole boy southern blues, jazz,rock fusion may I suggest you get a copy of Live At the Fillmore, Allman Bros. BAND! YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
I was at Atlanta 2nd in Byron also. 3 days of intense 105 degree heat. Thank God for the river. Did you see Hendrix ? Read my post my friend. You may have a flashback however. 😁
The best music you'll ever hear. Ultra good musicians playing really well for and with each other. Jazz, blues and rock, 100% original American music. Fusion.
I would put Letterman in the same category. He is a huge music fan and his appreciation for the songwriting genius of Warren Zevon was on full display when he devoted an entire show in tribute.
@Big Bill O'Reilly Hmmmm..... your name is Bill O'Reilly and I'm the Trumptard? On that note, back to listening to good music for me. I will leave you to your ill-informed trolling. Ciao.
So cool seeing Doc Severson again. The man would hit these notes possibly above high C, and his eyeballs would look like they were ready to pop! This showing is a first for me, and I almost never missed Carson.
RIP Gregg, Johnny and Doc. These clips are smokin! Growing up in the 60's everyone watched the Ed Sullivan Show for great musical performances. When you were older you could stay up and watch Carson at 1130pm who had on the next generation of comedians plus some great music.
Doesn't get any better Johnny and the Allman Brothers! Greg in his prime: Long, cool drink of water and simply a bad ass out-law with the voice of a blues god!!
Reminds me of high school, when they used to practise in the old Hatcher building below Lanier (Central) High School, and we occasionally got impromptu concerts at lunch! Not sure who it was, but one day someone yelled out a windows, 'how do we sound?"...yeah, we went nuts... principal hated them. Been listening to this for years and still love it.
Doc absolutely dug in deep for his solo on "Kind of Bird"; watch him reach for that high note. Dickey and Warren both matched as tight as ever, and cheers for the birthday boy today, Butch, for blasting away on the kit.
Was honored to open up for Dickie Betts. The stage was packed tight with his bands gear. His band graciously told us to use their amps and drums so we would have room to play . Then his band mates treated my band mates to drinks after the show. What a great night
Dickey at his best. Playing Charlie Parker bebob with some of the best players in the world. I can not renember any other rock bands getting this much respect on the Tonight Show. They even got Johnny swinging!
That was a treat to watch, Seven Turns is a great album! Dickey beautiful notes on his Gold top. Warren on slide, Gregg looking healthy, happy. All where enjoying, their music. O yeah Doc is a funky cat, on the Horn.
Holy Crap. I can’t believe I missed this performance. I also saw the Allman Brothers in Ohio in 71. Never paid much to attention to Doc S but incredible how this performance brought out the best in him. Amazing diversity and talent in Allman Bros. I’m floored and fall more in love them every time I hear their music. Life goes by so fast-stay in gratitude and appreciate every moment as it happens ❣️
Don't be sad that the good old days are gone... Be glad that you got to live in them..
I am glad for your comment...because I do often get sad about the past being gone. Your words reminded me of lyrics to an Eagles song.....If I never see the good old days shining' in the sun
I'll be doing' fine and then some
Thanks for this comment.
Problem with the good old days is that they are past
Great reminder, just finished a book about the ABB, such incredible talent and the price they paid!
I am glad to have lived them and really glad that I can put my headphones on and watch this very loud any time I want to.
No auto tune,samples,computers or backing tapes .Real music from one of Americas best bands ever
Two. Two of America's best bands ever.

How bout Doc and the Boyz, eh?!
This will never happen again. Pure artistry and love for the music.
That's no shit! Music today is just plain crap! Now get off my lawn!😜
My God, Gregg's voice was just amazing.
Gregg and Blackie Lawless, my two fave singers.
Sounds good and sober, You guys are the Best !!!!!
Dickey Betts on guitar wasn't bad either!!
My God as well.He quit drugs to live, to sing again.. and we're all God-blessed for it! 😎
@user-ip5dm6jf8k Right, one of those you could hear and know it's him. Very unique in technique, all Southern soul-jazz 🤠
What a time in music history..and Carson...No one will ever compare...Grateful I was part of all this!!
He said the 70s but they started the 60s but their paydays were early 70s when all members were alive .
@@rwdavis22461he's a comic, not a musicologist

Allen Woody on bass. Govt Mule beginnings!!!
Great thing about the whole ABB run, they always shared the stages with so many great artist. Artists considered it a great honor to perform with one of the best damn bands on the planet.
I saw this in 1990 when it was on, enjoy it while you can because this level of talent and musicianship wont ever happen again.
I never say this, but...."true dat!"
Tu m'étonnes mon pote.. incroyable Allman brothers band!
Well, then there were Derek and Warren's renditions .
I have to disagree…there’s some good musicians out there that’s picked up where they left off and warren Haynes is still kickin it.
You got that right Seen them 6 times Nobody today comes close
When you can seamlessly add a horn section to your band and it sounds even more amazing, you're doing it right.
there is a song "great minds drink alike" they added a horn section after the fact and as you say even more amazing, that song came to my mind as i read your comment
I would love to have been at rehearsals for this.
You're spot on.
Hey kids, this is MUSIC. Real musicians, real talent. Off the charts stuff here.
For all the folks that think genres of music can't blend together...
Well said sir. About sums it up.
@derekmoss7286 - Folks who don’t think different genres of music can’t blend together is a generalization. Rock musicians for example have been blending styles since day one. Off the top of my head: Clapton doing I Shot Tne Sheriff…Steely Dan…The Police…Red Hot Chii Peppers…Rage Against The Machine…

Yes it should! Two of the best bands ever!
BADASS

Today's music doesn't hold a candle to this. These are professional musicians at the height of their craft. Pure geniuses right here.🎸🎶
I agree
Wasn't a jam
Warren Haynes and Allen Woody gave the Allman Bros. the boost they needed for a comeback...
Absolutely!
They sure did! I saw them around '93 then got into Gov't Mule. Both bands were insanely great back then. The Allmans kind of lost it without Dickey.
Country Rock with a Jazz back featuring Doc!….it doesn’t get any better than this!👍🇺🇸
A whole different sound, beautifully arranged, a real treat!
Not country in the slightest. They were referred to as “Southern Rock” but Gregg always said that they were nothing but a blues band that happened to be from the South.
But not a hint of country in there, BTW. Some Jazz, sure.
When Dickie sang they WERE Country 😂
Johnny was the best host for music. He really loved musicians.
Yes this sound mixing/ reinforcement and engineering is impeccable… those NBC technicians were great! The band sounds amazing …. Dickie and Warren were so tight in that lead break, then that harp behind the last verse… we tong see live music on television like that anymore… Oh baby, when the brass came in … what treat!

Give it a rest folks. And let's not forget Mose Allison who had an unmatchable white boy blues voice, as he would agree.
Great horn charts undoubtedly written by Doc, they sound great.
I suspect Tommy did the charts. He was the primary arranger.
Even without Duane's genius and brilliance, this was still one of the funkiest hard-rocking bands ever.
Totally ! and the Band from the South crushed it up North! They love the Allman Brothers.
A M A Z I N G !!! Can hardly believe this was on the Johnny Carson show.
Pretty sure I watched this live as a 13 year old

Tower of Power, early Chicago, were powerhouse bands. Allman’s were great but for me, when Dickey got kicked out, the live shows suffered.
true, trucks bores me to tears. just saw him & Susan. I left after 5 songs. monumental boredom
Been an Allmans fan forever but I just can't believe how great they sounded here. As a musician myself, I know you have some good nights and bad nights....this must have been a great night for the Allman Brother Band.- and what a rare treat hearing them with Doc and the boys! And what a treat for Doc, I would bet he does not have a lot of chances to cut loose like this.
Incredible, the brothers and the tonight band absolutely rocked it. I miss those days!
WOW, so tight!!! Dickey was at his prime, 20 years after Duane's passing. Love their sound then and now. God Love rock and roll!!!
Absolutely love this band, exceptional talent everyone. Saw them perform live at the Atlanta Pop Fest in Byron, Ga. If you want to experience the feeling of that good ole boy southern blues, jazz,rock fusion may I suggest you get a copy of Live At the Fillmore, Allman Bros. BAND! YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
I was at Atlanta 2nd in Byron also. 3 days of intense 105 degree heat. Thank God for the river. Did you see Hendrix ? Read my post my friend. You may have a flashback however. 😁
Any rock music containing quality brass is superb!
Love the horns

Where's the WOW button when you need it? This is GREAT!
says a lot for the allman bros playing w one of the great horn sections great performance and great musicianship from both sides. spectacular !
Paul Bissonnette yup
I headed up to 11, Am I dual zone speakers rocking out
I miss you Gregg. Every day in every way. So thankful for the 7 shows I was lucky enough to see. Thanks boys.
The best music you'll ever hear. Ultra good musicians
playing really well for and with each other.
Jazz, blues and rock, 100% original
American music. Fusion.
Holy cow. What a power field of musical talent. Mind blowing!
Great Band on the Best stage. They dont make rock n roll or talk show hosts like that anymore. RIP
@Big Bill O'Reilly You just had to spoil this great video with politics? Sheesh.
I would put Letterman in the same category. He is a huge music fan and his appreciation for the songwriting genius of Warren Zevon was on full display when he devoted an entire show in tribute.
@Big Bill O'Reilly Hmmmm..... your name is Bill O'Reilly and I'm the Trumptard? On that note, back to listening to good music for me. I will leave you to your ill-informed trolling. Ciao.

@Big Bill O'Reilly There are NO great talk show hosts now. Please stay off the meth if you're going to be commenting in public forums.
So cool seeing Doc Severson again. The man would hit these notes possibly above high C, and his eyeballs would look like they were ready to pop! This showing is a first for me, and I almost never missed Carson.
When the Tonight Show band joined in, that was possibly the most talent ever assembled on a Carson stage. Wow!
This belongs sealed for posterity in a mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall's porch...!!
....since noon today! Perfect, Rich!
RIP Gregg, Johnny and Doc. These clips are smokin! Growing up in the 60's everyone watched the Ed Sullivan Show for great musical performances. When you were older you could stay up and watch Carson at 1130pm who had on the next generation of comedians plus some great music.
It's hard to explain to someone who wasn't thee, it was an amazing era that will never be duplicated.
He loved Chuck berry and bb king,had them on many times
I think Doc is still kicking
@@larrycornwell4626 He is still around...in his 90s, getting close to 100!
Thanks Allman Brothers Band,it has been great!!The music got me through years of different shxx!
Damn didn't realize Warren Haynes was with the band that long ago! A true American legend the Allman Brothers!!
Doesn't get any better Johnny and the Allman Brothers! Greg in his prime: Long, cool drink of water and simply a bad ass out-law with the voice of a blues god!!
you nailed it!!! incredible voice and performance by all
gregg was one heck of a singer!
"Long cool drink of water"?? Lol
Perfect description !
@@fflubadubb not really. You have strange taste.
Cool deal with Doc Severinson and his band members playing with the Brothers. .
Always a fan of the great Allman Brothers Band 🙏👌😊☮️❤️
The Allman Brothers were original, cool dudes. I am glad that I saw them twice in concert. Boy, could they jam.
Reminds me of high school, when they used to practise in the old Hatcher building below Lanier (Central) High School, and we occasionally got impromptu concerts at lunch! Not sure who it was, but one day someone yelled out a windows, 'how do we sound?"...yeah, we went nuts... principal hated them. Been listening to this for years and still love it.
Doc absolutely dug in deep for his solo on "Kind of Bird"; watch him reach for that high note. Dickey and Warren both matched as tight as ever, and cheers for the birthday boy today, Butch, for blasting away on the kit.
Was honored to open up for Dickie Betts. The stage was packed tight with his bands gear. His band graciously told us to use their amps and drums so we would have room to play . Then his band mates treated my band mates to drinks after the show. What a great night
That tribute to Byrd was breathtaking! Where’s the WOW button!
EVERY TIME I hear the opening of "Good Time Thing", EVERY TIME....that is enough to get my heart started.
Thank you Allman Brothers for Being a Big part of my Life,,,,,
I cannot even begin to describe to you how deeply mesmerized I am by what these guys can (could) do. An awesome memory.
Dickey at his best. Playing Charlie Parker bebob with some of the best players in the world. I can not renember any other rock bands getting this much respect on the Tonight Show. They even got Johnny swinging!
Dickey was always into jazz, and his playing style reflects that. Not only in this clip, but in his playing overall.
I can't think of any rock band that could hang with the TS band EXCEPT the Allman Bros!
Saw this live, and remember it like it was yesterday
Wonder if he played drums with them during rehersals. loveto see that.
@socal rocks Bebop
That was a treat to watch, Seven Turns is a great album! Dickey beautiful notes on his Gold top. Warren on slide, Gregg looking healthy, happy. All where enjoying, their music. O yeah Doc is a funky cat, on the Horn.
i sat in front of Gregs hammond before and watch his feet work that organ RIP bro ...Warren looks so young..Dicki was slick as ever..
I'm glad I got to see them live on several occasions in the 70's. There's nobody better!!!!
Now you see why Carson was the Best! By far. Today's hosts are pale imitations. We never knew Johnny's Politics either. Good. We don't care
He was a known Democrat, so what are talking about? He didn't discuss politics on the show but his politics were well-known.
Whichever party was in favor of policies that would keep his alimony payments down...!! :))
we use to have respected presidents,before Trump.

Holy Crap. I can’t believe I missed this performance. I also saw the Allman Brothers in Ohio in 71. Never paid much to attention to Doc S but incredible how this performance brought out the best in him. Amazing diversity and talent in Allman Bros. I’m floored and fall more in love them every time I hear their music. Life goes by so fast-stay in gratitude and appreciate every moment as it happens ❣️
The second concert my dad ever took me to was The Allman Brothers Band while Dickey Betts was still in the band
