one of the two drummers they used was Black, the rest of the band was Southern and White....Gregg Allman's voice drives their music like a brand new Benz...of course Dickey Betts and Duane Allman (who died not long after this album) were mainstays of this ICONIC uniquely Southern blues group....one of the greatest American bands ever
one more thing, you rarely hear this type of soul from Whites who didn't grow up in the deep south....Why ? Because most White bands from the South were very highly influenced by Black blues singers from the South because we lived so close together and shared one another's culture....most of the bands heroes were guys like B.B. King, Elvis Presley, Gary Davis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Robert Lockwood and so on
And oh, how I sobbed the day he died, but at the same time, I felt grateful that he was in Heaven, out of pain, in the arms of the Lord and his brother, Duane. A long, well deserved reunion!
Agreed! I spent all of the 70's 80's 90's,00's 10's at live shows. This damned virus has me on lock down, and haven't been able to in 20's. But yes the 70's, and 80's were great for music, and live shows!
@@greenhometony Right on man, I just didn't want you missing out on the interplay between all 6 Brothers! It sounds like you got a faulty copy, because Dickey is also on this studio version, just not the copy you reviewed. By the way, I love your channel, I can tell you really love music. All genres at that! Keep on keepin' on!
Jemal, I hope you react to the live version of this song. It's just BRILLIANT! I LOVE their chord changes and progressions. Gregg was one of the best to ever touch a Hammond B3.
Seriously: the music you've been trying out and reacting to has been part of my life for as long as I can remember but watching you fall in love has me listening and appreciating it like never before. Thank you so much. You're really good at this.
As someone who suffers from both agoraphobia and depression, I must say that for years my one main outlet for relief is music. Now I have two . My music, and now watching your reactions to my favorite music. You make me smile man. That's hard to do. Thank you for what you do and keep on doing it. With love.
Keep your head up,bro! Its all in your mind,these scenarios, we conjure. You are special,beautiful and worthy of the best of this life. Don't let ANYTHING stand in your way. Enjoy your one time around, brother.

"Took all my money. Wrecked my new car. Now she's with one of my good time buddies; they're drinking in some crosstown bar." One of the best lines in rock.

Years ago before the internet, one of the great joys in life was introducing people to a band they never heard before, because you took a chance on an 8 dollar album!
@@shawnj1966 I always thought of Skynyrd as a Kmart version of the Allman Bros. The Allmans were the real thing - Skynyrd...ehh...I think they tried too hard to be a Southern rock band.
@@Neil-de1fh No, do not touch the stuff!! You love Skynyrd...that's fine...your business. But you gotta face facts also. Every one of those 70's Southern Rock bands were 2nd fiddle to the Allmans. They were the first and the best. All the others were just imitations of them.
@31wst, Skynyrd was hardly an imitation of the Allman Brothers and actually formed a few years before them albeit under a different name so there goes your, "they were the first.", argument. They sound nothing alike and they certainly weren't trying to be anything but themselves. If you hear any imitation it is because you have a bad ear for music! Just admit that you got your panties in a bunch because I commented that Skynyrd had a better body of work. Ask most people how many Allman Brothers songs they know and you can count them on one hand. I love them but the fact is that they just weren't as prolific as Skynyrd even though their best music was just as good if not better depending on the the opinion of the fans. Was Molly Hatchet or Blackfoot trying to sound like any other Southern Rock bands? Of course not! The Allman Brothers were awesome but nobody was trying to imitate them! All the bands had a different and unique sound and just because they were all classified as Southern Rock it doesn't mean that they were imitating anyone else. Now stop whining and admit that I'm right LOL
Feeling blues yes playing blues, no. Takes hard work, discipline and putting in your time. Some people lost the privilege of being associated with blues, they became lazy.
Allman Brothers! In my opinion America’s best homegrown ensemble. Two drum sets, great bass and the Hammond organ, and great guitar playing. Rooted in blues, gospel, country and the like. Excellent live performances!
"She took all my money, wrecked my new car. Now she's with one of my good time buddies, drinking in some crosstown bar." I never fail to get goosebumps.
Duane Allman, put the fear of God in most Guitarist,including Eric Clapton. That's why Eric worked with him, smart on his part, if you can't beat em join em!
@@genesutton6383 That was mutual between them. Before Duane met Eric, Tom Dowd took Derek And The Dominos from the studio to see the Allman Brothers in concert. Duane looked off the stage and saw Clapton watching him and literally quit playing in the middle of his solo and turned his back to the audience because he was so shook up. Dickey looked over at Duane to see what had happened, followed his line of sight, and upon seeing Clapton HE quit playing and also turned his back to the audience. This story has been told by everyone from Tom Dowd, to Bobby Whitlock, to Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks.
@@robertcole5123 No it hasnt. I heard different versions of Duane's reaction. Never heard he turned his back. But i have never heard any version where Dickey stopped playing...let alone turned his back. One thing they all agree on, is that Duane respected the fck outta Eric, and Eric respected the fck outta Duane. All good.
When you hear southern rock label, it can unfairly pigeon hole the music. The Allmans are VERY accomplished musicians. The songs are unreal. They are a jazz influenced, blues band. I am glad this guy Jamel is posting his reactions. One of the greatest bands ever assembled. Fun to see this guy's reaction. Southern Bluesmen with some Bluegrass and Jazz musical influence...with some 60's/70's era hippies flair. Just one of the great band of all time.
I refer to it as "The Mighty Hammond B-3"! Love that sound! Jamal should definitely review some more bands that used it. Procul Harum and Yes off the top of my head.
Allman Brothers concerts were never a let down. IMO, the best live show in ANY era. I get chills watching the love you give to this recording. I can close my eyes and see Greg on that keyboard deliver the goods with that iconic voice. I was lucky enough to see them live many times and even in they 2010's they were nothing short of perfection. Bruce Trucks with with prodigal son Derek along with Warren Haynes. My god - the perfect funktified southern soul higher institution of rock. End of story.
Jamel, I Love that you can stretch your soul into uncharted genres, and appreciate the love, passion and raw emotion, that so many artists put into their music. You are good for this world! Rock on my Brother!
Some people call them southern rock,some people call them blues, but they've got a lot of jazz elements in their music. They blend it all together beautifully,and Gregg Allman was the MAN!
@@agentrobtaylor Definitely not arguing his chops on the guitar. One of the best ever. But was just kinda typing that in response to dudes reaction on the soul of Gregg ' s voice. I didn't get to see Duane live,but did see them with Dickey Betts and Warren Haynes and they were amazing playing those dueling harmonies like on "Jessica". I love that shit!!!
5:26 I've listened to this music for decades. It's so refreshing to experience someone discovering it for the first time and reacting to those things that made us love this music so many years ago. Thanks J for restoring my appreciation of these incredible songs
I've only discovered these "reaction" videos tonight. Seeing you brothers, hearing my music for the first time, the music that is in my bones and that of so many of us, with SUCH appreciation - just brings tears. The 60s and 70s were the most profound time for those of us there - historic in its reach and depth. I can say how relieved, grateful, and thrilled I am that our artists have reached across the decades to find your hearts. Thank you, Jamal.
This song never gets old to me. Every time I hear it, it’s like hearing it for the first time again. Allman bro. are so legendary & talented. Love em💜❤️🧡💛💚💙🤍❤️🧡💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
Came here to say this. Particularly the extended version that has the 33 minute rendition of Mountain Jam. One of the few bands that I prefer listening to live.
Jamel_AKA_Jamal Thank you, thank you, thank you for this reaction. You've turned me back on to the Allman Brothers! I grew up in the late 60's and 70s listening to these gifted, soulful artists. Another cat that does reaction vids (modern Renaissance man) said it perfectly "y'all who grew up on this music was spoiled!" I never thought of it that way but that's right. Look at the auto tuned, overdubbed, multi looped, drum machine driven cacophony of crap that is presented as a stage show disguised as music that young folks listen to nowadays. Kinda Sad really BUT it's cats like you to keep this "old" music alive! Spread the word! Soul has no color brother! Thank the goot Lord! Peace, love and hope. :-)
@@stephenspero3201 we never knew we were spoiled at the time but later on when we heard what today passes for music we realize just how good we had it back then.
This was my husband's and my favorite band. Listened to them day and night, and went to every one of their concerts that we could. When he passed away, we played 'Melissa' at his funeral. These guys' music is the soundtrack to my life.
The Allman Brothers Band was one of the first racially integrated southern rock band and the only surviving members are Dicky Betts and Jaimoe, miss the band, feel the loss they feel without the band. Thanks for posting this Jamel❤️
i am a blues singer in a blues band in St. Louis(BLUESTREAK STL) and i remember my best friend who talked me into playing and singing and playing harmonica, i am laughing because his reaction to Greg's voice was identical to yours, he said that boy sounds like he is really tied to that whipping post, one of the finest blues/rock bands, epic shows.
Like Otis Redding, he had the hard-earned wisdom of an older man in his voice. Both were barely out of their teens when they started out (and sadly, Otis never had the chance to actually get old).
@Ron Snuggs You're not Gregg Allman, dude. I'm saying that those three things enhanced his bluesy singing. If it magically worked for everyone, he wouldn't be special.
I was 8 years old and remember my mom listening to this, and also Edgar Winter, Frankenstein on the surround sound. Thanks for keeping the old jams alive. Brings back so many good memories.
The 70’s/80’s had the most incredible and amazing music ever! Each song is a full body experience and the concerts....out of this world! Most amazing music is an understatement!💕💕
There's a reason they were the best live band that ever graced a stage. Same reason why Fillmore East album has been named by the Library of Congress as being culturally or historically important.
Listen to their live at the Fillmore Album, good grief that is so good. The songs sounded even better live and Whipping Post is incredible. But my personal favorite, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is a diamond. It's on my Road Music list, often the first song that's on when I hit the road.
Live at The Fillmore is I think THE BEST live album ever. I am a 65 year old lady, & The Allman Brothers along with a lot of other music from back then , te best.
The Shoals Sound - mega-rabbit hole of a who's who of music. Etta James, Wilson Pickett, Aretha, The Staple Singers, Bob Segar, Dylan, Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, Paul Simon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Cocker . . . endless hours of great music
The first time i found out about Muscle schoals was when I checked out a non- promoted album by bobby hatfield...yes he went to Muscle schoals. Trying out something different.
I grew up listening to this kind of music and never really thought much about it. It's wonderful to see somebody react to it for the very first time ever- it's as though I am also hearing it fresh once again. Thank you for these videos...please keep them coming!
More Allman Bros please"one way out","midnight rider","sweet Melissa", and solo Greg Allman"I'm no angel" all are classics and worth a listen and reaction.🎸☮️
Goosebumps every time! This particular lineup of The Allman Brothers Band is the stuff of legends. I will forever kick myself in in the rear for passing on the chance to see ABB live on what turned out to be their last tour. I thought "I'll just go next time they're in town" and then Gregg Passed away a few years later. 😢 Go see your favorite acts while you can!
Hands down musically the greatest group ever. , Greg Allman's voice was an added bonus. No musicians ever blended their talents together like these guys. No egos no competition among band members just the some of the sweetest sounds that I ever heard. James Keeney
"No egos no competition among band members" Ummmmmmm yeaaaaaaahhhhhhh about that. Maybe read Gregg Allman's "My cross to bear" to read about the egos & competition between him & Dicey Betts
I just watched you experience Led zeppelin and now the Allamn Brothers. You really felt it, and who wouldn't get the chills over those Bluesy R&B rhythms. They put there hearts in it.
Music for me begag in the mid 60's. Jazz, blues, rock, everything. When I watch you react to tunes I've been listening to for over 55 years, I feel like I did the first time I heard them. You are a treasure my friend. You make me smile
Hey, Danny, the first time I ever heard ABB music was as a high school freshman and a group of students who had a band performed in the school talent show with "Don't Want You No More/It's Not My Cross to Bear." Been an ABB fan ever since - and that was in '71. :-)
When my second brother moved to the East Coast, he left me a big chunk of his record collection because he couldn't fit it into the car. Lots of good stuff, but I played the Allman Brothers the most. Fantastic integrated band of brilliant musicians. This is a classic and holds up perfectly today. So cool to see you finding and loving this music, keep going brother :)
@@emilyhailey9713 We would laugh,sometimes in their jam,you would get lost,and I would say I don't remember what song they were even playing,and then you could here it building back toward another chorus or whatever,JUST AWWWSUM
That’s Rocking Soul in his voice it makes the atmosphere tear up! And his brother on those guitar licks! Been one of my top 5 all time rock/ blues/ soul hits for decades!
@@brownbenplumm9027 I can't tell you how lucky I feel to have been able to see them live in Boston twice before Duane Allman died. Their concerts were just insane.
@@brownbenplumm9027 Once was indoors at either the Music Hall or the Orpheum, and the second time was outdoors on Boston Common. It was part of a series called Concerts on the Common, and a band called Wet Willie opened for them. It was on August 17, 1971 (I Googled it), and I sat on the lawn maybe 60' from the stage. Probably paid about $10 for the ticket. How amazing is that? The following October, Duane Allman was killed.
If you don’t like this classic Rock and Blues soulful voice and song you don’t have a pulse! Duane Allman was one of the greatest guitar players of all time! Rest In Peace my brothers!
There's a guy in my town that looks like him, except his hair is more strawberry blonde. On occasion I see him walking his dog when I walk mine - I always think.....there goes Phoenixville Gregg
I remember when this first came out...it forced me to my knees...I was so blown away...between Greg's vocals and Dwaynes killer guitar...I was a goner! I believe I wore the grooves right off of that record! Dayyyyam!!! Great song! The whole album is great!
Love these early reactions Jamal did. He's a great dude but as he became very familiar with the older music his true amazement started to fade. Love this guy and this world needs more Good Humans like him!
Back in 72 I was a freshman in college and this was on pretty heavy rotation at a club I went to. Danced my ass of to this tune w a HS classmate everytime as I could keep up and last through the live track on the dancefloor. Often went outside in WI winter w/o a coat to cool down. Love this song and dancing w you back in the day Beth!
This is what results when southern black and white boys get together and break down the racial barriers that exist in our society.

That was one bad white boy.

LOL! I think not Lovethestage!! The ABB are Forever!
I'm here for you, Sis
No way. Love the man. Gregg was gorgeous! Mercy!✌️🤟❤️🌹
Jamel - I get chills every time I hear Whipping Post. Greg Allman had such a soulful voice! He's up in heaven with his brother Duane now.
One of the best rock singers ever.
Well, like the song says: If there's a rock n roll heaven, you know they got a hell of a band.
Yes,A great singer,and group I remember in79was13.
Yes Lord
And oh, how I sobbed the day he died, but at the same time, I felt grateful that he was in Heaven, out of pain, in the arms of the Lord and his brother, Duane. A long, well deserved reunion!
Never again will a decade of music equal the 70's. Actually playing instruments AND singing on key with no aids.

I can see it. Southern Rock is a style. Electric Country music.
Greg’s voice and organ, along with Duane’s lead guitar, hard to believe they were in their early 20’s.
Harder to believe they're both dead. Seems like yesterday.
Yeah your telling me.. he’s always sounded like an old man who lived a long hard life. Something you just can’t fake.
The whole damn band.

The blues ain't black or white, they're just about a good man feeling down.
Feeling blues yes playing blues, no. Takes hard work, discipline and putting in your time. Some people lost the privilege of being associated with blues, they became lazy.
Right on. It's universal. Even though it's birth was singular, the blues speak to and for all humankind.
❤️
Crossroads great quote
👍 Right On ✌
Gregg Allman had such a powerful voice. It is just incredible.
powerful and damn was he soulful
Allman Brothers! In my opinion America’s best homegrown ensemble. Two drum sets, great bass and the Hammond organ, and great guitar playing. Rooted in blues, gospel, country and the like. Excellent live performances!
You are now an official member of "The Allman Nation." Welcome, my brother!
Yes, indeed!!! One of the greatest bands ever!!
He needs jam some live shows
That line up is the murderers row of artists....Amen
Can I join? Deadheads allowed?
Man, listen to this on vinyl...its awesome! Definitely adds to the mood!
"She took all my money, wrecked my new car. Now she's with one of my good time buddies, drinking in some crosstown bar." I never fail to get goosebumps.
If you can’t feel Gregg’s emotions in his singing, you’re dead.
The best version of this song is off the Live At The Fillmore album.
Or at least the studio. This version was missing Dwaynes solo!! Or maybe it was Dickey’s. 🤷♂️
No doubt.
The live version is best. Two drummers count’em two.

Jamel, I Love that you can stretch your soul into uncharted genres, and appreciate the love, passion and raw emotion, that so many artists put into their music. You are good for this world! Rock on my Brother!
Well said, Mark. Amen!
Perfectly stated Mark
Some people call them southern rock,some people call them blues, but they've got a lot of jazz elements in their music. They blend it all together beautifully,and Gregg Allman was the MAN!
pretty sure brother Duane was equally the man...RIP to them both
@@agentrobtaylor Definitely not arguing his chops on the guitar. One of the best ever. But was just kinda typing that in response to dudes reaction on the soul of Gregg ' s voice. I didn't get to see Duane live,but did see them with Dickey Betts and Warren Haynes and they were amazing playing those dueling harmonies like on "Jessica". I love that shit!!!
@@garylindsey5174 Oh man..Jessica. Don't me started
@@agentrobtaylor Have you listened to any of The Allman Betts Band,tracks?
Gregg Allman was pure soul, I loved his voice so much. He was a pretty good actor too, when he was in the movie Rush I was blown away.
5:26 I've listened to this music for decades. It's so refreshing to experience someone discovering it for the first time and reacting to those things that made us love this music so many years ago. Thanks J for restoring my appreciation of these incredible songs
ABB got soul for miles... every live show was great. RIP to the mighty Gregg Allman.
One of their ABSOLUTE BEST songs. Legendary song from a legendary band.
I've only discovered these "reaction" videos tonight. Seeing you brothers, hearing my music for the first time, the music that is in my bones and that of so many of us, with SUCH appreciation - just brings tears. The 60s and 70s were the most profound time for those of us there - historic in its reach and depth. I can say how relieved, grateful, and thrilled I am that our artists have reached across the decades to find your hearts. Thank you, Jamal.
Appreciating the music of my generation like i never realized because of Jamel's honest and deep evaluation musically as well as lyrically.
This song never gets old to me. Every time I hear it, it’s like hearing it for the first time again. Allman bro. are so legendary & talented. Love em💜❤️🧡💛💚💙🤍❤️🧡💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
Now listen to the “Live at the Fillmore “ version. Maybe the best live albums of all time.
Yes, 20 something minutes of pure joy
No the Greatest live album ever recorded Period
Definetly the best live album of all time. That version of statesboro blues outshines any other attempt anyone has ever done!!
Came here to say this. Particularly the extended version that has the 33 minute rendition of Mountain Jam. One of the few bands that I prefer listening to live.
@@johncahalane007 I dunno, Band of Gypsies is up there...
Stone cold classic, glad you are getting a reaction on The Allman Brothers Band.
Amazing!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Jamel_AKA_Jamal Thank you, thank you, thank you for this reaction. You've turned me back on to the Allman Brothers! I grew up in the late 60's and 70s listening to these gifted, soulful artists. Another cat that does reaction vids (modern Renaissance man) said it perfectly "y'all who grew up on this music was spoiled!" I never thought of it that way but that's right. Look at the auto tuned, overdubbed, multi looped, drum machine driven cacophony of crap that is presented as a stage show disguised as music that young folks listen to nowadays. Kinda Sad really BUT it's cats like you to keep this "old" music alive! Spread the word! Soul has no color brother! Thank the goot Lord! Peace, love and hope. :-)
@@stephenspero3201 we never knew we were spoiled at the time but later on when we heard what today passes for music we realize just how good we had it back then.
@@paulk5311 Couldn't agree with you more. Check this out. The TRUTH Why Modern Music Is Awful - ua-cam.com/video/oVME_l4IwII/v-deo.html
@@paulk5311 ain't that tha damn truth
Took this man to church!! Love to see it; that’s how music binds us.
This was my husband's and my favorite band. Listened to them day and night, and went to every one of their concerts that we could. When he passed away, we played 'Melissa' at his funeral. These guys' music is the soundtrack to my life.
Did I hear that? I've been hearing that for 50 years and it just gets better and better each time. Glad you liked it too!!!!
You know what was fun hitting a. Juke box and tying it up for an hour with Elizabeth reed ,won way out and whipping post people got pissed at me
The Allman Brothers Band was one of the first racially integrated southern rock band and the only surviving members are Dicky Betts and Jaimoe, miss the band, feel the loss they feel without the band. Thanks for posting this Jamel❤️
Keith Marr awesome band have not listened to them in a long while
there's no more tears because their sons have picked up where their dads left off. check it out
Met Jaimoe in a bathroom at a concert lol
The Allman Brothers Band were quite possibly the best band in the U.S. at this time before they lost Duane Allman at 24 in a motorcycle accident.
duane was a much better guitarist than he was a motorcyclist
Eat A Peach !
i am a blues singer in a blues band in St. Louis(BLUESTREAK STL) and i remember my best friend who talked me into playing and singing and playing harmonica, i am laughing because his reaction to Greg's voice was identical to yours, he said that boy sounds like he is really tied to that whipping post, one of the finest blues/rock bands, epic shows.
21 years old when he recorded this. Gregg had soul to spare. One of the great voices in R&B and Rock & Roll.
Like Otis Redding, he had the hard-earned wisdom of an older man in his voice. Both were barely out of their teens when they started out (and sadly, Otis never had the chance to actually get old).
He gifted his soul to the world before he left. 💔
Gregg was a freaking baby when he sang this. How in the hell does a 20 year old have that sound?
Old soul!!!!
Old soul, for sure!
Heavy drug, alcohol, and tobacco use.
I did the same with my garage band growing up. We played blues like this.i was 16 or 17 .
@Ron Snuggs You're not Gregg Allman, dude. I'm saying that those three things enhanced his bluesy singing. If it magically worked for everyone, he wouldn't be special.
I was 8 years old and remember my mom listening to this, and also Edgar Winter, Frankenstein on the surround sound. Thanks for keeping the old jams alive. Brings back so many good memories.
The 70’s/80’s had the most incredible and amazing music ever! Each song is a full body experience and the concerts....out of this world! Most amazing music is an understatement!💕💕
AMEN.... it was a great time growing up
Gregg Allman might be my favorite vocalist of all-time
Keef Mack May he Rest In Peace in Rock nRoll Heaven ✝️✝️
💯
Absolutely!!! Always and forever!!!
There's a reason they were the best live band that ever graced a stage. Same reason why Fillmore East album has been named by the Library of Congress as being culturally or historically important.
The Allman brothers band,are great.I remember the whipping post song in 79,when I was13,and got my first stereo.
I had the privilege's of seeing these guys 3 times in the 70's and I always got chills when they finished with this incredible song.
You have the look of a man who's just been well Allman Brothered
lol nice
James Norris Barrett We need more folks Allman Brothered! It would make for more brotherly love.
"If they bringin' it like that..."
Oh, they bring it.
Oh it's been broughten.
@@goudagirl6095 🤣🤣🤣
"Sweet Melissa" really does it for me with the soul, *sigh*
Listen to their live at the Fillmore Album, good grief that is so good. The songs sounded even better live and Whipping Post is incredible. But my personal favorite, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" is a diamond. It's on my Road Music list, often the first song that's on when I hit the road.
my favorite instrumental ever ... y'oughta hear the 7/4/98 version from Charlotte with Jack Pearson, omg
Live at The Fillmore is I think THE BEST live album ever. I am a 65 year old lady, & The Allman Brothers along with a lot of other music from back then , te best.
70's greatest era of music ever. Whipping post one of Allman brothers best. Saw them live as a teenager. Amazing.
Check out Statesboro Blues and One Way Out from Fillmore East.....
Let's face it, check out all of Fillmore East.
Ditto to Grelch
That was the first Allman Brothers album I ever heard. Great live album. Great live performance. My favorite of theirs.
“Trouble No More” also a crowd pleaser! They ain’t making music like this no more. Are they?
Hell no!!!!
Not a single bad song did the Allman Brothers ever perform.
This is the motherfucking truth!
With that music giants in the band ....hardly, never heard from them bad song !!!
I have been listening to this song more than half my life and it still gives me chills every time.
You have to watch the documentary "Muscle Shoals" if you are loving this. a lot of amazing music came out of Muscle Shoals.
The Shoals Sound - mega-rabbit hole of a who's who of music.
Etta James, Wilson Pickett, Aretha, The Staple Singers, Bob Segar, Dylan, Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, Paul Simon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Cocker . . . endless hours of great music
The session players and producers rivalry in Mussel shoals produced some of the greatest music ever recorded!
The first time i found out about Muscle schoals was when I checked out a non- promoted album by bobby hatfield...yes he went to Muscle schoals. Trying out something different.
Didn’t he pass on these guys ? He probably still kicking himself
@@peterthegreat996 yep...Rick said he missed the boat on that one.
I grew up listening to this kind of music and never really thought much about it. It's wonderful to see somebody react to it for the very first time ever- it's as though I am also hearing it fresh once again.
Thank you for these videos...please keep them coming!
More Allman Bros please"one way out","midnight rider","sweet Melissa", and solo Greg Allman"I'm no angel" all are classics and worth a listen and reaction.🎸☮️
midnight Rider is ICONIC.
Have you heard his "Low Country Blues" record from a few years ago? It's fantastic, super-swampy and up there with some of his best solo work.
I'll second "one way out", great song, and reminds me of time I was in that position. The late 60's and 70's were so great for good music..
Gary Kelly Dreams, Jessica
You know what is all about
Goosebumps every time! This particular lineup of The Allman Brothers Band is the stuff of legends. I will forever kick myself in in the rear for passing on the chance to see ABB live on what turned out to be their last tour. I thought "I'll just go next time they're in town" and then Gregg Passed away a few years later. 😢 Go see your favorite acts while you can!
Hands down musically the greatest group ever. , Greg Allman's voice was an added bonus. No musicians ever blended their talents together like these guys. No egos no competition among band members just the some of the sweetest sounds that I ever heard. James Keeney
Not sure they were more talented than Zeppelin, but I never heard anyone argue they weren't plenty gifted. Cheers.
"No egos no competition among band members"
Ummmmmmm yeaaaaaaahhhhhhh about that.
Maybe read Gregg Allman's "My cross to bear" to read about the egos & competition between him & Dicey Betts
U n me both sir nothing hits the soul like southern rock n Gregg's voice singing them blues! God bless u.
I just watched you experience Led zeppelin and now the Allamn Brothers. You really felt it, and who wouldn't get the chills over those Bluesy R&B rhythms. They put there hearts in it.
Like everyone, he’s shocked to hear the SOUL in Gregg’s voice. The greatest white Blues singer of all time.
Blues singer. Period.
Listen to him with Daryl Hall "at Daryls place"! He also has that blue eyed soul!
Eric Burton, too.
Right on
We have to add Chris Stapleton to the mix now. Of course there is Joe Cocker and Van Morrison.
Music for me begag in the mid 60's. Jazz, blues, rock, everything. When I watch you react to tunes I've been listening to for over 55 years, I feel like I did the first time I heard them. You are a treasure my friend. You make me smile
I discovered the Allman Brothers when I was 18. That was 42 years ago. Love seeing someone discover them for the first time. Keep up the great videos!
Remember Eat a Peach? Love me some Allman Bros!
Hey, Danny, the first time I ever heard ABB music was as a high school freshman and a group of students who had a band performed in the school talent show with "Don't Want You No More/It's Not My Cross to Bear." Been an ABB fan ever since - and that was in '71. :-)
Talk about genetics, one family produces one of the greatest blues guitarists and one of the greatest blues voices.
not too mention Dereck Trucks is Butch Trucks nephew.
Butch Trucks uncle was Virgil Trucks - a borderline hall of fame level all-star pitcher who threw two no-hitters in MLB in one season.
Waiting for the midnight Rider my favorite 😃🇨🇦
My favorite too from the Allman Brothers. This one here though is a close second...
My ANTHEM...
This has my vote as well- DO EET
Yes! I recommend Jessica, or one way out...✌️😎
Elizabeth Reed!!
I don't think I've ever paid this song much attention. Today it made me CRY :'( Thanks as always - in all ways...
When my second brother moved to the East Coast, he left me a big chunk of his record collection because he couldn't fit it into the car. Lots of good stuff, but I played the Allman Brothers the most. Fantastic integrated band of brilliant musicians. This is a classic and holds up perfectly today. So cool to see you finding and loving this music, keep going brother :)
FREAKIN LOVE THE ALLMAN BROTHERS,was lucky enough to see them AWWWSUM
Yeah I saw them in Charlotte a long time ago,it was my three kids first concert
@@emilyhailey9713 We would laugh,sometimes in their jam,you would get lost,and I would say I don't remember what song they were even playing,and then you could here it building back toward another chorus or whatever,JUST AWWWSUM
I love the guitar tone. It always felt like it was “singing”. Such a legendary band.
That’s Rocking Soul in his voice it makes the atmosphere tear up! And his brother on those guitar licks! Been one of my top 5 all time rock/ blues/ soul hits for decades!
No matter how many times I hear this song, I get goosebumps.
This song literally gives me chills when I hear it. I think we have all felt that feeling at some time.
Duane Allman was one of the best guitarists ever. Legendary. Like so many, died too young. (btw always wear a helmet folks)
Agreed, but it wouldn't have helped him. Bike landed on top of him. He died from internal injuries.
So sad. I wish I could’ve seen him perform. But I was born in 1995😕
@@brownbenplumm9027 I can't tell you how lucky I feel to have been able to see them live in Boston twice before Duane Allman died. Their concerts were just insane.
EdithHead Where did they play? I’m from the greater Boston area. Must’ve been some damn good times
@@brownbenplumm9027 Once was indoors at either the Music Hall or the Orpheum, and the second time was outdoors on Boston Common. It was part of a series called Concerts on the Common, and a band called Wet Willie opened for them. It was on August 17, 1971 (I Googled it), and I sat on the lawn maybe 60' from the stage. Probably paid about $10 for the ticket. How amazing is that? The following October, Duane Allman was killed.
Some of the best “Bluesy Rock” you will hear...a classic but, still a good song to sit back and listen too.
This was one of my Mother's Favorite songs, God rest her spirit.
Pure soul & emotion.
You know when a black dude holds up his hand like hes in church, he's feeling it to his soul.
The Allman Brothers Band is the best traveling music ever!
If you don’t like this classic Rock and Blues soulful voice and song you don’t have a pulse! Duane Allman was one of the greatest guitar players of all time! Rest In Peace my brothers!
The live version at Fillmore East is worth the watch. Two drummers, Duane Allman, Greg Allman, and Dicky Betts. Epic.
I like this guy's reaction he's very cool
Yes he is
Your life will never be same. I'm kind of jealous, you are entering a whole new world for the first time.
It’s beautiful to see a music lover discover, welcome brother we all feel like you do. Beauty does what beauty does best and that’s beautiful.
Well said!
Fabulous music. TRUE classic rock. This music will last forever. I’m seeing his son, Michael Allman next month in Lakeland. Soooo excited
Back in the day "Blue eyed soul" was what Duane was doing there.
Tasty!! That's Greg Allman. Knew a guy that looked just like him. We called him Greg Almost. lol
😆 Greg Almost! I love it 😆
There's a guy in my town that looks like him, except his hair is more strawberry blonde. On occasion I see him walking his dog when I walk mine - I always think.....there goes Phoenixville Gregg
Made me laugh out loud. Thanks, needed that.
Dude, that's awesome. Lulz
Reminds me of the Neil Diamond tribute act "Nearly Neil" 😁
I remember when this first came out...it forced me to my knees...I was so blown away...between Greg's vocals and Dwaynes killer guitar...I was a goner! I believe I wore the grooves right off of that record! Dayyyyam!!! Great song! The whole album is great!
Greg, Duane , Butch, Lamar and Barry RIP. You brought a lot of joy to people.
“Blue sky” is my personal favorite song ever. Dicky Betts and Duane Allman shred the solo on that song so hard.
Give "little martha" a listen.
Yeah i’m a big fan of blue sky too :p
Mountain Jam is flawless.
It's a beautiful song.
I agree, " Blues Sky" is my favorite song also. The change off from Dicky to Duane in the solo is awesome. True stereo.
Jamal, you REALLY need to listen to "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" live version at Fillmore
Love these early reactions Jamal did. He's a great dude but as he became very familiar with the older music his true amazement started to fade. Love this guy and this world needs more Good Humans like him!
Back in 72 I was a freshman in college and this was on pretty heavy rotation at a club I went to. Danced my ass of to this tune w a HS classmate everytime as I could keep up and last through the live track on the dancefloor. Often went outside in WI winter w/o a coat to cool down. Love this song and dancing w you back in the day Beth!
