I was there at that concert too. I saw them twice & neither time, did they disappoint. One time WITH Duane Allman the other after he passed. BOTH great...sigh, I miss those days so much...
There was a great variety to pick from, sometimes I would listen to Tull sometimes Yes sometimes the Allman Bros sometimes The Who or Zep or ZZ Top, etc etc etc
Yeah people the more you become truly aware of the talented musicians past n present on this earth the more it becomes apparent picking “favorites” is a fools errand. Don’t pick favorites because the next sound you hear may shatter your present beliefs. May the steps a person takes on their journey through the halls of musical greatness wear the soles down while uplifting the soul.. God truly must love us to bestow this ability to create and enjoy music. Thank you God.
Two drummers. Butch Trucks and Jaimoe. You are listening to the greatest band America ever produced at the zenith of their super powers. Duane and Dickey was so in tune to each other and Oakley is a force of nature on the bass. And that voice of Gregg seals the deal.
he had a pretty tough youth first his father is murdered then at a young age he is shipped off to military school. The school was in my hometown and it was a tough school. Basic training for an 8 year old. I use to see them marching/drilling constantly. It was a tough life. Then he lost his big brother and then Oakley.
Allman's covered a lot of ground musically. This is straight up blues, but some songs sound more country, while others throw a bit of jazz into the mix. Just a legendary band.
There's some jazz elements in this song which gives it it's unique chord progression and lots of jazzy moves in the solo's. A FUN song to play. Even the rhythm backing someone else's solo is a blast. Couple of bands I did this in had a great sax player friend and he always nailed it.
@@nicholasfranco5240 nah,ABB were in a league of their own,Grateful Dead,although similar that they were great jam artists (and had 2 drummers), did their own thing,had their own sound.
@@robhaunui3343 I mean yea they definitely had their own sound that's for sure. I'm not saying they sound like the Grateful Dead but there are similarities. I personally am a huge fan of both. I was a fan of ABB, especially Duane, years before I ever heard the Dead. Duane loved The Dead as well :)
There is no Rock, Metal. Without our great Black Forefathers in Gospel, Jazz, and the Blues. These bands have so much reverence for all that have inspired them to create (steal a lot) Rock music.
My man. You nailed this reaction. Im 68, Im a man and Im black. This song has caused me to shed tears and feel goosebumps since 1973. I aint mad at ya. This is real deal and top shelf right here. Mic drop.
Hi Van. Please also do Allman Bros. "Whipping Post." The drummers are Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Johanson. Gregg Allman, on organ, is also the vocalist. Sadly there are only two band members left, Dickie Betts (guitar) and Jaimoe (drums).
You need to listen to Allman Brothers album eat a peach there's one whole side is one big jam it's called mountain jam I think it's too long for the reaction but he said you want to take a ride on your car and sit on your hood that would definitely be a good thing to listen to later bro
My favorite Band at the height of their power. Beautiful, powerful, and funky beyond measure. These performances are over 50 years old and I've never gotten tired of them. The six musicians that made up the OG line up were together less than three years, but the music they made in that short time they had together is "beyond words" and standing the test of time with ease and grace. Thank you LFR family for featuring them and turning a whole new generation of music lovers on to this beautiful, wonderful, and powerful music.
Pick ANY song from this album and it's gonna blow your mind, BUT... Whipping Post or Elizabeth Reed will bring you back. Perfect album for cruisin' bro.
Love this band. I was fortunate enough to see them in Boston in '71, not long before Duane's untimely death. To this day I consider them to be the the tightest band I ever saw live.
The Rolling Stone listed Greg allman at #70 in thier list of the 100 best singers of all time. In her final goodby to Greg Almman, Cher said "He was sweet, shy, loving, and a mystery to all of us at times. He had his deamons and he fought them". As far as Duane Allman on slide guitar is concerned, he was one month shy of 25 years old when he passed from a motorcycle accident. What more would he have given us...... so, so, very tragic! Got to see them on thier farewell tour in 2014 at the Virginia Beach Ampitheater. Greg Allman (Hammond, vocals), Jamoe & Butch Trucks (Drums), and Dickey Betts (Guitar, vocals) were all there; Duane Allman & Berry Oakley had passed away. Additional members during thier farewell tour were Oteil Burbridge on bass (Now with Dead & Company), Warren Haynes (Vocal and guitar)now leading his Gov't. Mule Band, and Derek Trucks now with Tedeschi Trucks Band TBB (slide guitar and nephew to Butch Trucks). TY to all of the ABB members, both past and present.... may all rest in peace. Thanks for reacting.
If you love the blues with two drummers and slide and keyboard and soul, then keep listening my friend. So glad i was twenty when theses gentlemen played. Very sad that motor vehicles unfortunately came into play.
Hey Van, Anything from the Allman Brothers and especially from Live at Filmore East is Great! Suggest either Whipping Post or One Way Out to start. Make sure you do the Video so you can see these Greats jam.
Those drumsticks you mentioned are called brushes. The Allman Brothers are a badass band. And if you listen to more of them, they will be a favorite of yours as well. Hey, ain't nothing wrong with having several favorite bands. These are rock bands but there are so many genres of rock it is hard to settle on just one or two. And you nailed the name. There is a Duane in the band, Duane Allman, who played guitar. Unfortunately he died in a motorcycle accident early in their career. Bassist Berry Oakley died almost a year to the day after Duane, in another motorcycle crash. Duane's brother Gregg Allman was the keyboard player and lead singer.
Allman Brothers are the best Blues band.Very Southern crafted...and boy did they learn their craft.They studied all the greats and heard the Black Gospel Church choirs singing on Sunday and much like Elvis appreciated this music growing up.Greg Allman studied to be a Dentist before falling into music.They have two drummers Butch Trucks and Jai Johanny Johanson.
Drum sticks, are called "Brushes", metal strands This is wonderful but please also try "In Memory of Elisabeth Reed".... same album. Live at Fillmore East! Excellent instrumental. It's Bluesy, rocks and a bit of country too.... Your ear won't be disappointed! And YES a little "tune-up" before this album makes it an adventure.
Thank you so much, Van!!! What a great way to start the day! For the NYC confusion 😂. I lived in the Bronx till I was 10 (1970’s) and Brooklyn till I was 20; identify with both, lol! Live right across the water in NJ now, can see the skyline. Grew up with my Dad playing this album; this song makes me feel like I went to Church and a bar all at the same time, lol!!! Was one of my Dad’s favorites; he was a Deacon at our church in the Bronx; all colors together; NYC years were the best time of my life. So glad you dug it, and thank you!! The Allman Brothers is just fantastic; “Dreams”, “Whipping Post”, goes on and on. This song hits the blues, R&B and Jazz buttons just right! Gonna smoke a cigarette now and enjoy this ❤️
My favorite band ever! Ps.. There's two drummers in the band that you hear! If you want to kick back for a 1/2 hour and listen to ABB , check out their song titled ''Mountain Jam'' . It's over 33 min. long! It's a great song to jam to!
one of the greatest to ever do it. one of the greatest guitarist ever, one of the greatest voices ever, Rhythm sections ever, nothing they did was bad. Live they were even better, this album showcases that. your life will actually improve knowing this band, IMO.
Also... Anything by Blackberry Smoke. They are driving the train hauling the new era of Southern Rock. They recorded a song with Greg Allman called "Free on the Wing" - it's beautiful.
Greatest Blues Band in many folk's opinion. Greg Allman's Keyboards and soulful vocals, along with brother Duane's top shelf slide guitar, and Dickie Betts creativity, are simply great. What a Band from the 60s and 70s.
Chin-Fro-Pick = "Brushes." Allman Bros has TWO drummers. The Allman Brothers Band were an American rock band formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1969[3] by brothers Duane Allman (founder, slide guitar and lead guitar) and Gregg Allman (vocals, keyboards, songwriting), as well as Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass guitar), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (drums).
The tracks on this live album are undisputed witness to the God given gifts of each musician that made up the Allman Brothers Band. We were gifted with this historical album after half a century it still hits our gut with the power of music. Thank you God.
Now that is the blues/southern rock! My first concert, 16 years old in Boston Mass. They are amazing. Zeppelin has always been my favorite band. Santana, Allman brothers and many more come after. Music brings me joy! We all sparked to this! it' a mesmerizing experience. You'll be sitting there for about 30 minutes after!
The Allman Brothers are my favorite band. Live at the Filmore east is by far their best album. Probably the best live recording ever. Stormy M9nday is my favorite song from that album! It takes me to church every time I hear it even after almost 50 years. I didnt hear it for the 1st time till around '76 or '77. lol
Saw most of the great bands more than once including The Allman Brothers. Live at the Filmore East is the best live album of all time. "One Way Out", always gives me chills.
Jaimoe and Butch Trucks are the two drummers, Gregg Allman on vocals and piano/organ. Duane Allman on guitar/slide, Dickie Betts on guitar. Berry Oakley on bass. I believe Thom Doucette played harmonica as he would join in with the band from time to time. Duane and Berry both died in separate motorcycle crashes early on. Probably the best guitar duo of all time with Dickie and Duane. Try out “Outskirts of Town”, “Not my Cross to Bear”, and “Whipping Post”. Also Duane put out a version of “Goin Down Slow” that has some of the best guitar work that I have ever heard. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your channel.
The Allman Brothers Band was the best Southern Rock band ever. Greg Allman did all the vocals, played keyboard, and wrote most of the songs. Duane Allman was lead guitar and at that time was considered the number two guitar player, only behind Jimi Hendrix. The Fillmore East concert was their best live performance. They had too many great songs to mention.
Oh! NOW you're cookin with gas! The Allman Brothers started 48 miles east of where I was raised (Yes...I'm still here lol). If you love the blues and you love Rock then you can't go wrong with the Allman Brothers
In my opinion the greatest blues song ever recorded. And Duane Allman is the greatest guitar player of all time. He only lived to age 24. But what he did in that short amount of time is truly amazing. He was a session guitar player for top R&B acts like Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding. He is the most versatile guitarist . Just listen to him play slide on Statesboro Blue and One Way Out and then hear him pick on Blue Sky. I agree with others. You should listen to Whipping Post (studio version) next if you have not already reacted to it.
Dickie Betts was far more technical than Duane. Sorry...I LOVE DUANE ..but the heavy work was done by Dickie . Duane was the greatest SLIDE GUITARIST...Dickie on One Way Out .....is the lead guitarist 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸. They all admitted Dickie was the best. But ..the band was a guitar band..two and three lead guitarists
@@peterbartolomeo9574 It wasn't one better than the other they were both phenoms. Duane the more rick blues Dickie jazz and country and they learned from each other. When I wanted to rockout listen to Duane whenI wanted to learn something listen to Dickie.
Thanks for reminding me why I DID NOT have a "favourite band". But if I had to make up a top 5...nah, screw it, can't even do that. We were truly blessed in the late 60s and 70s with music.
That show at the Fillmore East was epic in a way that's no longer even possible...of course Duane Allman's guitar on Whipping Post is like some SRV before Stevie was even around 🎸😎
Southern Rock was black-influenced, blues dominated music. So many tracks of old R&B that you love, you'd never know they were backed by all-white artists in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. This song here was an old Elmore James cut. Southern Rock was born in Muscle Shoals, when iconic black artists were backed by white artists like Duane Allman, the Swampers, and others -- who earned their stripes by garnering the respect of black legends like Aretha, Wilson Pickett, Little Richard, the Staples -- and so on. That's how it happened. All they wanted was to do a good job for those they idolized, and in return those icons gave them a new kind of music that was their own. That's the beauty of music and its universal nature.
Mostly a blues band at their roots. This tune is a good example - Bobby "Blue" Bland and T-Bone Walker were among their influences, along with of course Muddy Waters and others of that period. A significant influence for many southern bands was that 30s-60s blues music of the south; kind of an interesting background given the racial biases and segregation of the time. There is a documentary about the Muscle Shoals studios that discusses that a bit. While Skynyrd was more to the country side of the southern rock genre, they too had some pretty significant blues influences. These and other groups of that time introduced me, white suburbanite from the northeast to the joys of the roots of rock and roll - like Muddy said: "The Blues had a Baby and they named it rock n roll". My wife was fascinated when we watched "Cadillac Records" - I know of every musician in the movie and recognized most right away. If you want to hear some of the more rocking side of the ABB blues, it's hard to beat Blind Willie McTell's "Statesboro Blues" (also covered on this album) and their cover of "One Way out", recorded in this session and showing up on a later album. Can't go wrong there.
The Eagle Flies On Friday=Payday.....This is from Live At Fillmore East. Listen to it. Two Drummers-Jaimoe and Butch Trucks.....ABB are talented,skillful,passionate,soulful,jazzy and funky....The greatest Band ever assembled....
The band is Duane Allman- lead guitarist and slide guitarist. Dicky Betts is the second guitarist. Barry Oakley bass player. Gregg Allman keyboards and guitarist, usually acoustic. J.J. 'Johanny Johanson' (Jaimoe) drummer and percussionist. Butch Trucks drums, etc..
THANK YOU for doing this superlative Allman Bros. song! No one reacts to it and I’m thrilled to see it appreciated as it should be. Glad you enjoyed, it is like having a great meal it’s so good!!
My all time favorite band! They sit on a pedestal no other group has been able to top. Stormy Monday was written by T Bone Walker but the Brothers covered it and I think it is the best cover
Allmon Brothers Band was from Macon, GA, my home state, and we’re pretty proud of them down here. This is my favorite song of theirs and favorite album. Thanks for sharing Van. Glad you enjoyed it.
This entire album slays it. Great blues from a bunch of boys with a great story to go along with it. Drumming is legend. Ask anyone who ever saw the Allmans in a live show.
One of the greatest guitar displays ever..DUANE TO ME WAS SECOND ONLY TO HENDRIX..HAVE HEARD THIS EVER SINCE IT CAME OUT..I AM 64 AND PUT THIS ALBUM IN MY TOP TEN EVER...ANY GENRE
You're my favorite to watch my brother.. you're one of the rare reviewers that truly GET classic rock bands, aka, Allman brothers, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd. Those are my top 3 actually but I'm sure you like them as well.
I think you had the same reaction to this song that I did when I was about 17. I always liked the blues but this song showed me what the blues is really like. I love this song and the whole album is killer!!
Loved watching you move your head listening to the guitar solos. I remember my friends wearing headphones and doing exactly the same thing when we listened to the same tracks 50 years ago. Enjoy the whole album -- and every other one by the Allmans (possibly my favorite band).
Sweet version. Never any half assed efforts from this ensemble. They are the cream on top. Southern rockers are born with instruments in hand, I've long believed.
BEEN GONE TOO LONG is a must listen to! ABB has so many songs. Also, guy on drums using brushes is JAIMOE. I believe only he and Dicky Betts are still with us.
The ABs always had two drummers. Butch Trucks and Jaimo Johannson. Both of them played a full 8 or 9 piece drum set together. That also helped give that something extra sound.
Allman Brothers Fillmore East
Without a doubt the greatest live album ever recorded
Greatest live rock album ever there is no question. Its a shame the Fillmore East is now a bank. Should be considered sacred ground.
Hard to argue against that... considering how many great live albums there have been, that's high praise indeed.
I was there at that concert too. I saw them twice & neither time, did they disappoint. One time WITH Duane Allman the other after he passed. BOTH great...sigh, I miss those days so much...
@@judiweislo8672 oh me too!
I always liked Skynyrd’s “One More From the Road,” but Live From Fillmore East is in a class far above it.
If you keep trying to rank your favorites from this era in Rock you'll drive yourself crazy. This is the time of the best music ever made.
Couldn't agree more👍👍
There was a great variety to pick from, sometimes I would listen to Tull sometimes Yes sometimes the Allman Bros sometimes The Who or Zep or ZZ Top, etc etc etc
@@cesarnarro6013 Sabbath, Bad Co, Queen, Skynard...all these bands have catalogs❗❗
Yeah people the more you become truly aware of the talented musicians past n present on this earth the more it becomes apparent picking “favorites” is a fools errand. Don’t pick favorites because the next sound you hear may shatter your present beliefs. May the steps a person takes on their journey through the halls of musical greatness wear the soles down while uplifting the soul..

Hot wire that fast car, my brothers and sisters take that ride. Life is beautiful enjoy that Trip
The Allman Brothers Band are the most talented band ever. At Fillmore East is the greatest live rock album ever!
Two drummers. Butch Trucks and Jaimoe.
You are listening to the greatest band America ever produced at the zenith of their super powers. Duane and Dickey was so in tune to each other and Oakley is a force of nature on the bass. And that voice of Gregg seals the deal.
Think about this....Greg Allman is around 23 when this was recorded....he's got no business sounding that good singing the blues at that age 😎
Duane called him Baby Bro...
may he RIP
he had a pretty tough youth first his father is murdered then at a young age he is shipped off to military school. The school was in my hometown and it was a tough school. Basic training for an 8 year old. I use to see them marching/drilling constantly. It was a tough life. Then he lost his big brother and then Oakley.

I may not know you personally but I do know you from the music we have loved....for a long time.
My 8th grade teacher Mrs Pavlakos, turn me on to the Allman brothers band and I’ve never turned back ♥️
Allman brothers are the Led zeppelin of southern rock. Made my morning
Yes indeed...Led Zeppelin of southern rock🎸😎
They're closer to the southern Grateful Dead in my opinion
@@nicholasfranco5240 yeah. That works too

Southern Rock feeds your soul and takes ya to Church!

Yes! I played the hell out of that album which was their first as ABB.
And the song before it on the album. They run together!

So true bro
And we had Led, CCR and the Allman Bros all at the same time. Yes it's a cover. We had No IDEA how spectacular we had it.... Thanks
Yea we thought things were just gonna get better and better. But then came the 80’s
Music has never been the same. Not just rock, but country, too! It’s a shame. Bean counters have taken over from musicians!
Yes we did, especially in hindsight & compared to the "music" of today!
Saw them in concert many times and they always brought it ❤love this band. Thanks Duane Allman for being the leader with your Gibson ❤
Saw them once in Santa Barbara. Robert Cray opened. I dropped LSD and walked away like, yeah Allman Brothers 🍄
These guys have always been my religion!! Preach!
Hi Van. Please also do Allman Bros. "Whipping Post." The drummers are Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Johanson. Gregg Allman, on organ, is also the vocalist. Sadly there are only two band members left, Dickie Betts (guitar) and Jaimoe (drums).

My Sister used to sing this in her band. It always makes me smile because she left her guts on the floor every time. That is how you reach people.
... another OUTSTANDING rabbit hole!
Duane makes my skin crawl with his playing 👏👏👍👍
The Allman Brothers Band, The greatest American Band Period.
Ut oh, this is the 2nd night with the harp in place of the guitar, never knew about this version for decades.
The one and only. Pound for pound the greatest musical ensemble that has ever existed. There will never be another Allman Brothers Band.
Love this band. I was fortunate enough to see them in Boston in '71, not long before Duane's untimely death. To this day I consider them to be the the tightest band I ever saw live.

Saw the Allman Brothers several times. I think they are the best rock band to ever come out of America.
Stormy Monday is a PERFECT blues song, everyone sings it their own way, and it's always gorgeous!
You've got the music in you.

It's Berry, not Barry.
I am aware. It was a typo. Corrected.
To think Duane, the leader of the band, was 24 when he died... Their music is for everyone, such a shame it all came to end so soon after success.
And remember Jai Johnny with his congas especially on a few songs on their 1st album.

The Greatest Southern Rock Band Ever.
Absolutely 💯

When they were still a local band they called the band The Allman Joys. Our singers brother played Bass guitar for them then.

Saw most of the great bands more than once including The Allman Brothers. Live at the Filmore East is the best live album of all time. "One Way Out", always gives me chills.
The original was by T-Bone Walker. 1940s-50s.
Jaimoe and Butch Trucks are the two drummers, Gregg Allman on vocals and piano/organ. Duane Allman on guitar/slide, Dickie Betts on guitar. Berry Oakley on bass. I believe Thom Doucette played harmonica as he would join in with the band from time to time. Duane and Berry both died in separate motorcycle crashes early on. Probably the best guitar duo of all time with Dickie and Duane. Try out “Outskirts of Town”, “Not my Cross to Bear”, and “Whipping Post”. Also Duane put out a version of “Goin Down Slow” that has some of the best guitar work that I have ever heard. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your channel.
Only two remaining band members left, sadly.
The Allman Brothers Band was the best Southern Rock band ever. Greg Allman did all the vocals, played keyboard, and wrote most of the songs. Duane Allman was lead guitar and at that time was considered the number two guitar player, only behind Jimi Hendrix. The Fillmore East concert was their best live performance. They had too many great songs to mention.
Oh! NOW you're cookin with gas!
The Allman Brothers started 48 miles east of where I was raised (Yes...I'm still here lol).
If you love the blues and you love Rock then you can't go wrong with the Allman Brothers
Gregg Allman, the best white blues singer ever.
In my opinion the greatest blues song ever recorded. And Duane Allman is the greatest guitar player of all time. He only lived to age 24. But what he did in that short amount of time is truly amazing. He was a session guitar player for top R&B acts like Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding. He is the most versatile guitarist . Just listen to him play slide on Statesboro Blue and One Way Out and then hear him pick on Blue Sky. I agree with others. You should listen to Whipping Post (studio version) next if you have not already reacted to it.
Dickie Betts was far more technical than Duane. Sorry...I LOVE DUANE ..but the heavy work was done by Dickie . Duane was the greatest SLIDE GUITARIST...Dickie on One Way Out .....is the lead guitarist 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸. They all admitted Dickie was the best. But ..the band was a guitar band..two and three lead guitarists
@@peterbartolomeo9574Agree 100%. Blue sky? Dickie. Jessica? Dickie. Ramblin man? Dickie…
@@peterbartolomeo9574 It wasn't one better than the other they were both phenoms. Duane the more rick blues Dickie jazz and country and they learned from each other. When I wanted to rockout listen to Duane whenI wanted to learn something listen to Dickie.
You seem to like the Blues. Check out The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. They are Chicago Blues
Nice reaction.
Doesn’t get much better than the allman brothers!!
nice choice- you really can't go wrong with anything on this live set!
This is arguably the greatest live album of all time. In memory of Elizabeth Reed is my favorite.
The Altman brothers are my favorite band all time. Zeppelin is up there for me but keep listening to ABB and you’ll have a new favorite soon enough
Thanks for reminding me why I DID NOT have a "favourite band". But if I had to make up a top 5...nah, screw it, can't even do that. We were truly blessed in the late 60s and 70s with music.
Top 5 discussions are best across the bar, with friends and colleagues...
That show at the Fillmore East was epic in a way that's no longer even possible...of course Duane Allman's guitar on Whipping Post is like some SRV before Stevie was even around 🎸😎
You know what I love about your reactions. You Aint hearing this song. Your Feeling it. I sparked one up for you my brother. Peace 😎
Southern Rock was black-influenced, blues dominated music. So many tracks of old R&B that you love, you'd never know they were backed by all-white artists in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. This song here was an old Elmore James cut. Southern Rock was born in Muscle Shoals, when iconic black artists were backed by white artists like Duane Allman, the Swampers, and others -- who earned their stripes by garnering the respect of black legends like Aretha, Wilson Pickett, Little Richard, the Staples -- and so on. That's how it happened.
All they wanted was to do a good job for those they idolized, and in return those icons gave them a new kind of music that was their own. That's the beauty of music and its universal nature.
This is a masterpiece live album.
There are two drummers Jaimie and Butch Trucks and the drums sticks are called brushes.
Jaimoe
@@marymargaretmoore9034 His birth name was Johnny Lee Johnson. He changed it to Jai Johanny Johanson. But answered to Jaimoe.
Sorry spell check got me.
@@jeffcocco7123 No problem
Awesome... Check out 'In Memory of Elizabeth Reed ' !!!
They had two excellent drummers and two brilliant lead guitar players in the band when they recorded this.
Mostly a blues band at their roots. This tune is a good example - Bobby "Blue" Bland and T-Bone Walker were among their influences, along with of course Muddy Waters and others of that period. A significant influence for many southern bands was that 30s-60s blues music of the south; kind of an interesting background given the racial biases and segregation of the time. There is a documentary about the Muscle Shoals studios that discusses that a bit. While Skynyrd was more to the country side of the southern rock genre, they too had some pretty significant blues influences. These and other groups of that time introduced me, white suburbanite from the northeast to the joys of the roots of rock and roll - like Muddy said: "The Blues had a Baby and they named it rock n roll".
My wife was fascinated when we watched "Cadillac Records" - I know of every musician in the movie and recognized most right away. If you want to hear some of the more rocking side of the ABB blues, it's hard to beat Blind Willie McTell's "Statesboro Blues" (also covered on this album) and their cover of "One Way out", recorded in this session and showing up on a later album. Can't go wrong there.
The Eagle Flies On Friday=Payday.....This is from Live At Fillmore East. Listen to it. Two Drummers-Jaimoe and Butch Trucks.....ABB are talented,skillful,passionate,soulful,jazzy and funky....The greatest Band ever assembled....
The band is Duane Allman- lead guitarist and slide guitarist. Dicky Betts is the second guitarist. Barry Oakley bass player. Gregg Allman keyboards and guitarist, usually acoustic. J.J. 'Johanny Johanson' (Jaimoe) drummer and percussionist. Butch Trucks drums, etc..
Great way to start the day, Van. Try One Way Out from the same album...amazing. Cheers!
THANK YOU for doing this superlative Allman Bros. song! No one reacts to it and I’m thrilled to see it appreciated as it should be. Glad you enjoyed, it is like having a great meal it’s so good!!
My all time favorite band! They sit on a pedestal no other group has been able to top. Stormy Monday was written by T Bone Walker but the Brothers covered it and I think it is the best cover
Possibly the best LIVE ALBUM ever!
The Eagle flies on Friday. Back to the blues, the mother of rock and roll.
Allman Brothers are the greatest!
Allmon Brothers Band was from Macon, GA, my home state, and we’re pretty proud of them down here. This is my favorite song of theirs and favorite album. Thanks for sharing Van. Glad you enjoyed it.
Oh ya, the boy can play.....You will enjoy everything they do.
This entire album slays it. Great blues from a bunch of boys with a great story to go along with it. Drumming is legend. Ask anyone who ever saw the Allmans in a live show.
Greatest Blues Album Ever!!!!
One of the greatest guitar displays ever..DUANE TO ME WAS SECOND ONLY TO HENDRIX..HAVE HEARD THIS EVER SINCE IT CAME OUT..I AM 64 AND PUT THIS ALBUM IN MY TOP TEN EVER...ANY GENRE
You're my favorite to watch my brother.. you're one of the rare reviewers that truly GET classic rock bands, aka, Allman brothers, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd. Those are my top 3 actually but I'm sure you like them as well.
One thing you'll notice about the Allman Brothers. They never......ever.......get in a hurry. Never....
Southern Rock has been my favorite for 50 years.
Southern Rock is not right.
It just gets ya right down deep in your soul! Loved the reaction
I think you had the same reaction to this song that I did when I was about 17. I always liked the blues but this song showed me what the blues is really like. I love this song and the whole album is killer!!
Loved watching you move your head listening to the guitar solos. I remember my friends wearing headphones and doing exactly the same thing when we listened to the same tracks 50 years ago. Enjoy the whole album -- and every other one by the Allmans (possibly my favorite band).
Van, my favorite band is the Allman’s that Rock, Jazz, Blues,Country fusion…Southern Rock is everything.
It’s a cover. You should check out whipping post next by them ✌🏻❤️
Sweet version. Never any half assed efforts from this ensemble. They are the cream on top. Southern rockers are born with instruments in hand, I've long believed.
“ Ouch!” said Mama Allman.
@@TheDivayenta LOL....and Mama danced thru all deliveries. Pain be damned.
BEEN GONE TOO LONG is a must listen to! ABB has so many songs. Also, guy on drums using brushes is
JAIMOE. I believe only he and Dicky Betts are still with us.
The ABs always had two drummers. Butch Trucks and Jaimo Johannson. Both of them played a full 8 or 9 piece drum set together. That also helped give that something extra sound.
