Man, you just listened to one of the greatest songs ever recorded by a "rock and roll" band. But you are correct that this is a Jazz tune played by a blues/rock band. And yes they had 2 drummers and between the 2 drummers and Berry Oakley (the bass player) this band had one of the greatest rhythm sections of all time - all it takes is a few listening sessions to get it. This song is from the album Live at Fillmore East which, in my opinion, is the best live album of all time. I am 66 and first heard it at age 12 or 13, and it remains on my go to playlist to this day and NEVER gets old. One major point to note is that at the time of recording, the oldest member of the and was 24 (or maybe 25) incredibly young to be so good and the band itself was *incredibly* tight as they played.... Really special stuff. This band happened at a magical moment in time with super talented musicians that had a truly special run for a few years and that as a group was ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC. This fact is well documented. That philosophy was kind of rare back then and, honestly, is almost non-existent in today's popular music culture. They started playing together in 1969 and by late 1971 the leader - and lead guitarist of the band - Duane Allman was dead. The spectacular bass player, Berry Oakley was dead roughly 1 year later. The band continued on to have much success, but was really never the same as when Duane and Berry were alive. It is DEFINITELY worth taking a deep dive into their history and especially what came from that truly magical run in 1971. It was fun watching your face as you listened, because I could tell - without a doubt - that you knew that magic was happening on stage, at real time. As a lifelong fan, that made me really happy and proud. Long Live the ABB !
Musically, that is top of the mountain stuff! Everyone in the Allman Brothers carries their weight and then some. Guitarist Dickie Betts wrote this and he has acknowledged jazz influence from Miles Davis to Django Reinhardt. Glad you got to hear it! An all-time favorite of mine that has held up spectacularly since I first heard it when it was released.
Saw them twice in one day way back in July of 1971. Clearwater in the afternoon and Tampa that night. First time Hearing of them and seeing them. Thought kids at Big Pier 60 were talking about the Osmonds...LOL
My Gaud man! Bill Payne and Greg Allman were and are the greatest on keyboards ever. Duane Allman and Lowell George the greatest slide guitarists ever. I'm sure I'm missing even more greatest ever. Damn y'all Lowell and Duane, WHY did y'all have to leave us so damn soon!
And the entire band was only in their 20s. I had the great pleasure to be at the Fillmore East when this was recorded. A magical night from virtuoso players.
My all-time favorite track, on any album, anywhere on planet earth..It is pure perfection! I saw them a year later when I was 15, after Duane's death..You would think that would have finished them. It didn't. They came out with something to prove. That they weren't going anywhere, and proceeded to blow the roof off the place, for 3 1/2 hrs..Berry Oakley was still with us, at the time. He was a beast of a bass player!..Had to pick my jaw up off the floor when all was said and done! Phenomenal!
Yes, two drummers one drummer, Butch trucks was a rock drummer and the black dude is Jaimo and he’s a jazz drummer and they worked so well together the whole album … 2/3 of their next album called …Eat a Peach is recorded like this album is live at the Fillmore East saw them 15 times over the years my favorite band ever and this was my favorite song ever welcome to the best rabbit hole you could ever jump into dig deep with these guys you won’t regret it
Jaimoe, the one drummer, almost didn't except the job, because he was (Is. Only one still with us) a jazz drummer, and wanted to head to NY and just play in clubs in a small ensemble. Thankfully he didn't!..His playing had a huge impact on this, and many other ABB songs, over the years. He fit them like a glove, along with Butch..The whole band was like a well oiled machine when you saw them live. Absolutely the best live band ever!
Smiling ear to ear. Welcome to the Allman Brothers. My Dad, ex big band drummer, opened my bedroom door and said "that drummer is amazing"! LOL. Told him two drummers. Fan since 1970, 84 shows. The road goes on forever. PS- this was a Coltrane/Miles Davis influence. The best live album imo.
According to Gregg Allman, they used to jam/practice at the Rose Hill cemetery with acoustic guitars, late at night. They came up with this tune, and when Dickey Betts looked down, the first grave he saw had a headstone that said "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"
according to dickey betts, he and duane ise to go to acemetary to entertain some women, and dickey's most often visited tombtstone was the one of Elizabeth Reed
You have it correct but what you might like is to locate "An Evening with the Allman Brothers Band: 2nd Set" and listen to the Acoustical version about 10 minutes long and a live cut. I really enjoy this version as well.
This is scientific evidence that telepathy exists. More seriously, the interplay among these musicians was phenomenal and has yet to be equaled in my opinion. Left to right on the album cover: Jaimoe (drummer in left channel); Duane Allman (second guitar solo); Gregg Allman (Hammond B-3 and vocals on other songs); Berry Oakley, standing (bass); Dickey Betts (first guitar solo); Butch Trucks (drummer in right channel). Duane Allman is considered to be one of the best, if not the best, slide guitarists ever. Here he is, twice: "Dreams" (August, 1969): ua-cam.com/video/s9By7ZUiQOg/v-deo.html "Stand Back" (fall, 1971): ua-cam.com/video/Ddm67pzoBzY/v-deo.html Atlanta Pop Festival, July 3, 1970: ua-cam.com/video/Enw8ob5991w/v-deo.html Enjoy!
Dickie Betts had to contribute a song to the record so he went to the local cemetary and wrote an instrumental number and named it after the headstone across from where he was sitting. Greatest rock jazz country band ever
The way I heard it, and I saw ABB # Watkins Glen in '73. (BTW that's not a sax on intro that is Duane Allman's Guitar). Dickie Betts and a companion wandered to a cemetery one. Stayed the night romantically and when he awoke he saw a headstone which read Elizabeth Reed. Amazing song w 2 guitars Live and perfect. No one is older than 25 when the ABB performed @ Fillmore East in '71. Seven months later Duane died in a motorcycle accident then a year later bassist Berry Oakley died in another crash. The Allman Bros. had 2 drummers, Butch Trucks + Jaimoe. Southern Rock @ it's finest.
Duane Allman: Lead Guitar, band founder and bandleader Gregg Allman: Hammond organ, vocals Dickey Betts: Lead guitar, vocals Berry Oakley: Bass guitar, vocals Jai Johanny Johansen: Percussion Butch Trucks: Percussion Gregg was the normal lead vocalist, but Dickey and Berry had their turns, too.
Yes, 2 drummers. The Allman Brothers were Southern Rock, but heavily jazz-influenced, especially lead guitarist Duane, who sadly died in a motorcycle accident just a short time after this concert recording. You should listen more carefully to his solo after his brother Gregg's organ solo and not get distracted by the drumming. I also think their great bassist at that time, Berry Oakley, deserves more attention. Tragically, he too died on a motorcycle a year later, just 3 blocks from where Duane was killed.
The story goes that Duane Allman , one of the lead guitar players, had been listening to Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" album prior to this concert. Jazz indeed!
You're not wrong, this is Fusion ... a fusion of Jazz, Rock, Blues, etc. and yes, there were two complete drum kits and two drummers, two guitarists, a bass player and keyboard player. The ANGRY guitar was played by Duane Allman and the keyboards by Gregg Allman, his brother.
Both Duane Allman and Dickey Betts play solos on this song. If you love great music, then you're in the right place with the ABB. Whipping Post, Statesboro Blues, One Way Out, Trouble No More, Melissa, Ain't Wastin' Time, Blue Sky, Soulshine, Black Hearted Woman, Southbound, Jessica...it's a long list and that's just a few.
One of my favorite Allman Brothers songs. Used to play this in cover band I was in, and it was a blast! Another Allman Brothers song you may enoy is "Les Breres in A Minor".
you might like is to locate "An Evening with the Allman Brothers Band: 2nd Set" and listen to the Acoustical version about 10 minutes long and a live cut. I really enjoy this version as well.
it doesn't get any better than this. everyone is kicking ass and the whole band is locked in big time.. Sometimes when i listen to this i just focus in on the bass player Berry Oakley only 22-23 yrs old at this time gone way way too soon at 24 yrs old.
The Allman Brothers were a very versatile group. They played blues, R&B and incorporated both jazz and country into their songs. Really enjoyed your reaction. I think you might like their guitar playing in their more country sounding song called Blue Sky (studio version).
"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" was the inscription on a headstone in the graveyard where Dickie Betts wrote this song. This is art. If you can't figure out what the drummer is doing, it might be because there are two of them.
Tom Dowd spliced the first night and Dickeys solo with the second night and Duane’s solo. He knew their music so well that you can’t tell it was from two nights.
thank you for the excellent sound quality of your channel..I noticed than on a lot of the other channels the music gets muffled..which really detracts from the experience
@@darikmatters8866 while I agree this is just about the most prog of any abb (along with some of dickeys other instumentals) I still wouldn't consider it prog, more jazz rock with prog elements. And while I agree this is as prog as any floyd song, I'd also say floyd isn't a prog band (more pycadelic blues rock). I guess I associate prog with classical influence and sensibilities and in that regard liz reed isnt close to a bunch of yes (in my opinion). they released closer to the edge a year after this recording, for example. Also elp released tarkus within a month or so of this recording... thats prog. All that being said abb is my fav band and at fillmore east (or storybook 71) would be my desert island album.
You really need to see the UA-cam video of this in order to get the full impact of two of the greatest guitarists of their time, Duane Allman and Dickey Betts. They were magic.
Simply the best instrumental ever, for my money! Dickey wrote such classic instrumentals! Liz Reed, Les Brers in A Minor, Jessica, High Falls…They were definitely influenced strongly by jazz, especially Miles and Coltrane! That percussion assault (Yes, always 2 drummers) only got better over the years with the addition of Marc Quionnes! Butch and Jaimoe on kits and Marc all over with percussion!
Favorite. When it first came out, we couldnt figure out how he got the guitar to sound like a violin (control of the volume knob). Pretty simple jazzy chords (cmaj7 to bm7). A lot of room to play.
Yes, it is very jazz influenced. Amazing dynamics, the mark of masters. Dickey Betts (co-guitarist and the writer of this song) had been into some of the far out jazz, i.e. Rashaan Roland Kirk, Son Ra, and that ilk. bringing that to the group, and Duane could play bossa nova and some jazz--stirred into the stew of that remarkable rhythm section and Gregg's fine voice. "You Don't Love Me" is another legendary performance (same album) and a master class in dynamics and good taste. Thanks!
I've worn out copies of this album. Great rock & roll, full of jazz & blues shuffle licks. Two great guitarists who compliment each other; two drummers who somehow give each other space; and Greg Allman's haunting organ and vocals. And playing live for - like two days.
🎊 If you’re going to go down this rabbit hole…better try on some “Whipping Post.” The live version that was made a couple of months before Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident. Enjoy the ride!
It's really Southern Rock which is influenced by the blues. This song does have a touch of a jazz feel. And the sound you are hearing from the drums is because there are 2 drummers. That's what gave them a very unique sound. But really, Duane was one of greatest ever and he also was a major part of their sound.
There was nothing like the Original 6. The band was never the same after Duane Allman and Berry Oakley were killed in separate motorcycle accidents, literally a year apart.
Heavily influenced by Coltrane and Davis and others. It is J and its rock and blues, this is written by Dickey who was steeped in country swing. But yes jazz also. Two drummers: Jaimoe is a jazz drummer, Butch more rock style.
Dicky Betts said he went out with a musicians girlfriend. They had liaisons in the Rose Hill Cemetary. Yes the same cemetery the brothers used to do mushrooms and jam for hours. Duane, Berry, Butch and Gregg are burried there. Well. Dickey could not name the song after his friend's girlfriend. He looked at a headstone "In loving memory of Elisabeth Reed." A classic was named.
❤if you appreciate this masterpiece and get familiar with ABB, please jump to Brothers and Sisters, post Duane gem. Southbound, Melissa, Blue sky... Bless Dickie Betts!🙏🙏
The ABB and jazz? How about a later incarnation of the ABB with Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Band doing a Charlie Parker number...ua-cam.com/video/5vCC116ud5Q/v-deo.html

Allman Brothers live at Fillmore East is considered to be one of the best live albums EVER!
I would like to add Pink Floyd’s, Pulse concert to that very short list. Yes, the Allman brothers were a pure force of nature. Top tier talent.
@@kikivon3501 oh come on ! you can't mention them both in the same sentence 1
The best
Yes! and Humble Pie live at the Fillmore!
2 drummers 2 guitars
Been listening to this for 50 years and it never get old, just a masterpiece. Thankyou Dickey Betts, RIP.
Same!
The best song on the best album.
Mesmerizing.
Me too!
They were all very young virtuosos. That original lineup was the greatest American band ever. And yes, there were two drummers.
I couldn't agree more. There will NEVER be another rock bank that could synergize like the original ABB. They were all masters of their crafts!
I agree-best American band ever!
Greatest rock instrumental ever written and performed!!!

Heard the album for the first time in 71' in 8th grade. In Memory of ER became my favorite. And made me a lifelong ABB fan.
Elizabeth Reed Napier was/is a “random” tombstone in Rosehill Cemetery in Macon, Ga.
You said the drummer is killing it, both drummers are killing it ! 😉
You just listen to the greatest band ever
That's Gregg Allman on the Hammond organ. He's also the primary vocalist. That boy could sing the blues.
Musically, that is top of the mountain stuff! Everyone in the Allman Brothers carries their weight and then some. Guitarist Dickie Betts wrote this and he has acknowledged jazz influence from Miles Davis to Django Reinhardt. Glad you got to hear it! An all-time favorite of mine that has held up spectacularly since I first heard it when it was released.
Yes. Two drummers.
Only good thing about being as old as me-I saw The Allman Brothers live, with Little Feat opening for them. ❤️👍🏼🫡 (now GET OFF MY LAWN!) 😂

The greatest band ever!!!
Greatest live band

I was at that concert ....yes Im old....lol
i envy you more than you could ever know this is if i had a time machine territory lol
Old is good if you were at this!!!
You’re also lucky 🍀
the greatest rock/jazz/blues fusion band there EVER was ...EVER EVER
Jaimoe, the one drummer, almost didn't except the job, because he was (Is. Only one still with us) a jazz drummer, and wanted to head to NY and just play in clubs in a small ensemble.

And now... They are buried in that same cemetery. At least, Duane, Greg, and Berry are. Unsure of the others, as I have not been there in a few years.
Of course, Jaimo is still alive!
Finally! Did i tell you? What a masterpiece.
I saw them do this live.
It was jaw dropping.
One one the best rabbit holes to jump in
They were the best - hands down. Sweet reaction, man. Thank you…
Great reaction, Thank you! Glad you picked up on the two drummers and the jazz influences. Well done!
Great reaction. Im amazed every time i hear it. They were an embarrassment of riches and such pros.
I knew you were in for a treat long before you did lol!
I saw them two nights in a row one year before this, when I was 16.
The song that made me an Allman Brothers fan for life. Yes I hear jazz elements mixed into rock,blues and even Latin vibe I hear in this song.
Best live band and album ever imo
Interesting and powerful band! Thats for sure!
This is scientific evidence that telepathy exists. More seriously, the interplay among these musicians was phenomenal and has yet to be equaled in my opinion.

Live and perfect. No one is older than 25 when the ABB performed
@ Fillmore East in '71. Seven months later Duane died in a motorcycle accident then a year later bassist Berry Oakley died in another crash.
The Allman Bros. had 2 drummers, Butch Trucks + Jaimoe. Southern Rock @ it's finest.
You mean BOTH drummers are beasts!!! Gotta see a live performance sometime.
Duane Allman: Lead Guitar, band founder and bandleader
Gregg Allman: Hammond organ, vocals

Very interesting and yes, I re-watched the video they definitely have a lot of jazz in their music.
How Duane can get that slide sound in the intro without an attack is just mind blowing.
It's not slide and it's not Duane in the intro; that's the great Dickey Betts.
Both Duane Allman and Dickey Betts play solos on this song.
If you love great music, then you're in the right place with the ABB.
Whipping Post, Statesboro Blues, One Way Out, Trouble No More, Melissa, Ain't Wastin' Time, Blue Sky, Soulshine, Black Hearted Woman, Southbound, Jessica...it's a long list and that's just a few.

One of my favorite Allman Brothers songs.
Used to play this in cover band I was in, and it was a blast!
Another Allman Brothers song you may enoy is "Les Breres in A Minor".
Yes there is a Jazz component to this song The Group was influenced by Miles Davis among other Jazz greats. You can hear it in this song.
Nice reaction Jone, good ear with 2 drummers, Great album
you might like is to locate "An Evening with the Allman Brothers Band: 2nd Set" and listen to the Acoustical version about 10 minutes long and a live cut. I really enjoy this version as well.
That version is so amazing as well for many different reasons
You want to hear a masterpiece? Try their encore song, the Mountain Jam.
it doesn't get any better than this. everyone is kicking ass and the whole band is locked in big time..
Sometimes when i listen to this i just focus in on the bass player Berry Oakley only 22-23 yrs old at this time gone way way too soon at 24 yrs old.

Tom Dowd spliced the first night and Dickeys solo with the second night and Duane’s solo. He knew their music so well that you can’t tell it was from two nights.
welcome to the club
The Allman Bros Band is jazz rock fusion steeped in the blues. Dual lead guitars and dual drummers.
There are two drummers, along with the two lead guitars.
Of course it’s jazz and so ahead of it’s time!!!!
Tied to the whipping post.
Oh, he's diggin' it! As it should be.
1 of the best representation s of 2 Gibson LP s. With a Dickey Betts song ( rip ) . You have a keen ear to pick out the two drummers. We'll done .
thank you for the excellent sound quality of your channel..I noticed than on a lot of the other channels the music gets muffled..which really detracts from the experience
Damn right it's jazz. The Allman Brothers could do it all.
Classic "Classical" / jazzy Southern Rock.. Does this make the Allman Bros Prog stars??
Dickeys said he preferred progressive rock music from the south to southern rock but while they may have some elements they're not a prog band.
@@waltersobchak4079 In general, The Allman Bros are straight Southern Rock but this song is as Prog as any Yes or Pink Floyd song.
@@darikmatters8866 while I agree this is just about the most prog of any abb (along with some of dickeys other instumentals) I still wouldn't consider it prog, more jazz rock with prog elements.

He also has said Albert Collins. I am fortunate to have seen both those great guitarists live.
You don't know this band, and you're a musician? Yes 2 drums!
Heavily influenced by Coltrane and Davis and others. It is J and its rock and blues, this is written by Dickey who was steeped in country swing. But yes jazz also.
Two drummers: Jaimoe is a jazz drummer, Butch more rock style.
IMO the blues set is best part of the album.
Southern Rock
You have to listen to "One way Out" Gregg tears up the vocals
Dicky Betts on main lead and throwing back and forth with Duane.
Butch Trucks and JJ on drums Butch played hard rock and JJ jazz
Dicky Betts said he went out with a musicians girlfriend. They had liaisons in the Rose Hill Cemetary. Yes the same cemetery the brothers used to do mushrooms and jam for hours. Duane, Berry, Butch and Gregg are burried there. Well. Dickey could not name the song after his friend's girlfriend. He looked at a headstone "In loving memory of Elisabeth Reed." A classic was named.
you really should do "Whipping Post' by them
There is 2 drummers in this band.
First reactor that didn't realize there was TWO DRUMMERS in this Band! hhahahaha p.s. and how did you think Dickey's intro was a Saxophone?
