- Even though the video quality wasnt the best, the sheer talent and musical badassery shined through all of it. This was amazing. Sorry for spacing out half way through, I had some really weird shit happen to me while recording. I won't mention it here but yeah, very strange.

The Allman Brothers At Fillmore East is one of the greatest live albums of all times.
Never a truer word spoken goonbelly ❤❤amazing album
I can't wait to dive into more from this album. Even the bad quality video couldn't stop these dudes from making me love this
@@L33Reacts not much good quality video of the originals sadly , But the later versions of the group re Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes are still out of this world …Go down the rabbit hole young man and expand your musical knowledge with immense enjoyment .
@@L33Reactsalso checkout The Sky is Crying … The Boston show …Just out of this world ..
I haven't listened to Fillmore East for a bit, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the same performance. True?
RIP Skydog, Greg Allman, Berry Oakley, and Butch Trucks.
The music lives forever!!!
rip dickey
Modern technology could never sound better than this! Organic excellence at it's finest! RIP Dicky Betts who passed away a couple of weeks ago, and the rest of the band.
The man who created and played the main lick on Layla. Such a fucking great guitar talent. Understandable that Greg wasn't ever the same after his big bro died.
I've never been either...😩
The white drummer is Butch Trucks. He is the uncle of guitarist Derek Trucks. I encourage you to check out the Tedeschi-Trucks band. Derek is an incredible slide guitarist who is as close to a reincarnated Duane Allman as you’re going to find. Their band is absolutely great
The Grateful Dead also had two drummers except for a few years in the early 70’s.
Was always a fan of Chuck's Sea Level. Very good band.
Generally speaking, when I want to just chill to some next level instrumentalism, this is my go to.
The Bass player Barry Oakley died about a year later also a Motorcycle accident, 3 blocks from where Duane died.
I’ve ridden through the spot where both died many times, makes me so sad to think of what could have been with this band.
These six gentleman were the definitive version of the Allman Brothers Band!
Unquestionably!!!
That keyboard player, Gregg Allman was one of the greatest voices in rock n roll history
Elizabeth Reed born November 9th, 1845, died May 3rd 1935. Dickey Betts hung out at Rose Hill cemetery often to write songs. Wrote this song, saw this gravestone, and named the song after her. true story
Had friend in a band who was gigging in south in 70s who had old woman approach them in a restaurant and asked them “are you boys The Rolling Stones?” They said yes and gave her autograph with Brothers names. I am about 100 sure I met Duane when I was 12. This guy who looked like no one looked at the time, started talking to me who was looking at a guitar in a store. He told me his band was playing in Gaslight Square in St Louis. Told me about the Vox amps they had in his southern drawl. Years later, after hearing Allmans and Derek and the Dominos, I dug into Duane and his past. Saw photo, and read history. Turns out the time and places matched the guy I met years earlier and the photo from that time hit me hard and gave me chills.
GREAT story -- and memory!!!
Duane Allman may be the greatest slide/finger guitarist ever. You MUST check out Derek and the Dominoes "Layla" where duane just KILLS IT on slide, with eric clapton backing him up on guitar and killing it with his vocals.
Always love this on Live at the Fillmore, my go to jam. A little rock, jazz, fusion and blues makes a great song. Butch Trucks is Derek Trucks uncle. RIP Duane, Greg and Barry, thank you. Jim
For your own viewing and listening pleasure, you have to watch The Allman Brothers Live at The Beacon Theatre 2003. Amazing line up and great show.
My favourite band of all time,miss them so much in all their incarnations.❤❤
I was 14 on summer vacation in Sarasota 1969. And heard they were going to play at the City Auditorium and I had never heard of them. They led off with Don't Want You No Mor/Not My Cross To Bear medley and I went off.
I never sat down the whole night and nobody else did either. They were the best and gave me all of my "woman" lessons on top of it all.
Heirs of the Allmans is the Tedeschi Trucks Band
The coolest thing about Dicky and Duane they gave each other room to breath without stepping on each other.
I am an old dude that whet to to many many concerts in the late sixties and seventies and as everyone else mostly on something. I love it when I see and listen to someone from a Completely different generation. enjoy.
You gotta hear their song Whipping Post
I've heard it many times. After hearing frank zappa cover it I went and listened to the original. Both are amazing!
The live Filmore version is the best@@L33Reacts
@@L33Reacts Thank you
This is, IMHO, their masterpiece. I learned the bass line from this song and Berry Oakley is a monster. That bass line is very athletic - it takes a lot of endurance to do it. This is my favorite piece by them.
Best Blues Band ever. You can spend a month on all of their music, and still never get tired of it. Great stuff. "Whipping Post," "Soulshine," "Dreams," and about 50 more great songs. Greg and Duane Allman, Dickie Betts, Butch Trucks etc. All were great musicians. Greg's soulful voice and keyboards are top shelf.
The sound from Dickie and Duane's twin '57 Les Pauls is sublime
Interesting fact, as was mentioned this song is named after a gravestone in Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon GA, it is now the final resting place for Duane, Berry, Greg, and Butch as well
i was blessed to see them at the santa monica civic auditorium when duane was still alive and then at the hollywood bowl after his tragic passing
Thanks L33 for reacting to possibly the most beautiful and haunting song of the rock era. In case you didn't know and/or no one else has mentioned it, Dickey Betts named named the song after a headstone he saw for Elizabeth Jones Reed Napier in Rose Hill Cemetery in the band's hometown of Macon, Georgia.
Greatest jam band in history.
I got to 'see' them at Watkins Glen in 73. 600,000 people so couldn't get close but my 15 year old butt was blown away by all 3 bands. Mountain jam seemed to last forever! Such a place and time!
That's a great version, but the one off the actual live album (13 min.Audio) from that same weekend (the Fillmore East), is miles better!..One of the greatest things ever recorded!
The blonde guitarist is brother Duane and yes Greg is the other blonde dude on keys (and vocals when the song has them).
Doesn’t get any better! musicians at the top of their game.
Nobody jams like the Allman Brothers Band.
Allmans had many great instrumentals and jams within their other songs. Jessica is another favorite instrumental from their Eat A Peach album. Dickey Betts really shines in that song. Another great morning of tuneage Lee.
Glad you enjoyed Barry! I love these dudes. Such a shame what happened.
Jessica is from the album "Brothers and Sisters" which was afterDuane and Berry died it contained the hit "Ramblin' Man
Another two drummer group playing today - The Tedeschi Trucks Band with Derek Trucks, nephew of Butch Trucks, a phenomenal guitar player and Susan Tedeschi, an incredibly soulful vocalist and guitar player in her own right. Check their tour page; if they're playing anywhere near you go see them. Many videos online of course, check out "Midnight in Harlem"
Guitar harmonies from the Brothers are immaculate.
Keyboardist was Greg Allman, was married to Cher for a minute (literally). Famous picture of him passed out face first in a huge bowl of pasta & sauce at their wedding reception. That could have had something to do with it.
They married so quickly she didn’t even know he did drugs, until he disappeared like 3 days after the wedding for a week-long drug binge. I think she divorced him before that week was over 💀
1st guitar solo was Dickie, 2nd guitar solo was Duane, organ was Greg.
Duane Allman. What a player. Absolutely right near the top of the very best players of all time. Funny how he's known primarily - by some people - as just a great slide guitarist. He's even better without the slide.
Slide or no slide, the dude could play!
@@redbarber873 No doubt!
Grew up in the 60s/70s & lucky to have seen most of the greats live. Allman Bros were in a class of their own.
Seen AB many times in the 90's and later. They always brought it live, but this old school stuff is the shit. Loving this footage!
The 2 Blonde guys (Duane Allman guitar and Greg Allman Keyboards) are the 2 brothers that formed the Band in like High school in 1968 and then they became famous as word spread about them. Then, as they say, the rest is history.
My favorite version of a legendary song. The hype about this album is real. The Filmore version of Whippin Post alone is awe inspiring and for me, a seminal Southern Rock tune.
Thanks for another great one Lee.
Good to see this being enjoyed by other generations. Being from Jacksonville, I got to see them play numerous times before they even had an album.
Worlds first jam band. They are your favorite jam band's favorite jam band. LOL.....seriously though, everyone should check out Duane Allmans heartfelt handwritten New Years resolution. Very much worth the time.
REO Speed wagon golden country and Gary Richraft flying turkey trot live guitar solo best ever mind blowing
The two drummer thing: I saw something amazing at a Joe Walsh concert at the Santa Barbara bowl in the early 1980s - as usual, Mr. Walsh had two drummers with him on stage with two full drum sets - as they were playing from OPPOSITE sides of the stage, they (Joe Vitale, his normal drummer and another guy) threw their drumsticks across the stage like jugglers with bowling pins, each while playing the song flawlessly! They did this for the ENTIRE song! I couldn't believe it, so I took my camera to the stage and photographed it - got the pictures back, and it was real! Too much!
You can hear the jazz influence in their songs
The "Best Damn Band In All The Land"! The Brothers were hands down the best live band (every incarnation of the band was formidable) ever. The Brothers on a rare "off" night would still make others bands best nights pale in comparison. It was always about "hittin' the note". It does my old heart good to see younger generations appreciating the music and magic of The Brothers. Eat A Peach For Peace.
Blue Sky!
Just put this on, and the party is started.
Right? I wish people still partied with music like this. Nowadays.... *shudder*
One of their very best !
Eric Clapton, a guitar player of some repute, said that it had only happened a few times in his life, when he heard a song on the radio and he immediately pulled his car over to find out who the guitar player was. It happened with Jimi Hendrix, It happened with Duane Allman and it happened with Stevie Ray Vaughn. As someone else mentioned, Duane Allman later played with Clapton when the Layla sessions were recorded. Duane played slide guitar on that tune, as no one else could ... with the possible exception of Derek Trucks (whose uncle Butch Trucks was a founding member and drummer of The Allman Brothers Band). Derek, himself, was later a member of The Allman Brothers Band and is a sublime slide guitar player in his own right.
DUANE played with Eric, not Greg.
@@jpirard That's too funny! I must have been watching Greg on the organ, while I was typing that. lol
Key player is Greg Allman. Dwayne Allman plays the Les Paul with Dickie Betts on the SG
IMHO Duane’s guitar solo in the Fillmore East live album version of this song is arguably the greatest solo. I recommend the studio version of Whipping Post next if you haven’t reacted to it yet. They have many great songs, including One Way Out and Statesboro Blues. I think their version of Stormy Monday (live Fillmore East album), is one of the greatest blues song of all time. The other great guitar player in this band, Dickey Betts, wrote the song Elizabeth Reed.
Nobody ripped slide guitar like Duane Allman. One Way Out, Whipping Post.
Greg is the father of Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman. Killer band, Soul Shine is one for a good listen.
Allman Brothers band was like a perfect rock/ blues orchestra. The deluxe version of live at the Fillmore includes Mountain Jam which didn't appear on the original version, it appears later on Eat a Peach.
Tom Dowd, engineer extraordinaire spliced two recorded versions of IMOER that provided the best possible version of it live. I believe the first section features Duane and the second section features Dickie. It is an awesome tune regardless of what one you're listening to.👍👍👍👍
o heard the opening baseline of whipping post at the end. whipping post is one of the greatest live recordings ever
This is the era of the Allman Bros. you want to listen to!!
The first few timesI saw the Outlaws, they were a 2 drummer band too.
Nothing like it!
Seen them a few times. One big great jam session. Soooo good with the talent through the roof
This was part of a PBS special filmed 9/23/1970 at the Fillmore East. You can see other footage from this night from different bands on youtube. The quality is much better for them because it was produced and polished for the special. The Allman Brothers were left out because some doofus forgot to plug Gregg Allman's mike in until halfway through the performance. (The control board or something.. the audience could hear him just fine). All we have is the raw footage. So what should have been their big break didn't happen and they had to wait another year or two to get big. Duane Allman was royally pissed after the fact when he found out.
Listen and react to side 1 of this album: Statesboro Blues, Must Done Somebody Wrong, Stormy Monday. The first two will blow your head off, and the last will smooooooth you out. Never been repeated.
Always loved this album! Was privileged to see them in concert on October 3rd in 1971. They had the drummers on risers behind the rest of the band. It was absolutely mesmerizing to watch them play! Sadly we lost Duane just 3 short weeks later. One of the best concerts, so amazing!
This guitar soothes me
Berry Oakley on bass! Love him
So love this song
You have got to listen to their “Mountain Jam”, long version. About 30 minutes of great jamming
I second the OP, Allman Bothers at Fillmore East is the absolute best live Album!! Dickey Betts played the first guitar,solo Duane Allman played the second solo and Greg Allman on the the Hammond B3. Jaimo and Butch Trucks on drums and Barry Oakley on bass were one of the most awesome rhythm sections ever!
They were a force 🔥
Allman Brothers , Doobie Brothers, 38 Special, Slipknot , Grateful Dead , Tedeschi Trucks Band all had 2 drummers during their time
There’s probably more in missing but that what came to mind.
I’ve had the pleasure of jamming side by side with Mr Jeff Campitelli just for fun in his studio
I discovered very quickly he was the lead and I sure as hell better stay on note. 😂.
Cool sound with fills when done correctly, that means I’m not involved. Thanks
You need to watch Whipping Post from this concert. Greg is the lead vocalist too.
Side 2 of Live at the Fillmore is perfection, Hot'Lanta, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed and Whipping Post. When I play it I Just let the whole side play and I'll just sit there with my eyes closed and vibe out.
Now that you've had your first hit of ABB live I doubt you'll be able to stop!
AB and Grateful Dead are two bands using the dual drums format. Others use drums plus percussion.
That's it! The audio and video wasn't the best, but sometimes it's about capturing a moment in Rock history. If you want to go deep on the Allman Bros, checkout High Falls. It's another instrumental written by Dickey Betts. Chuck Leavell plays a 4 min keyboard solo that's sublime.
'At Fillmore East' is the album to review. Every track is a gem, including 'In Memory of Elizabeth Reed'. 'Statesboro Blues' (first track of the album) would be a logical choice for your next next reaction video.
No wasted notes!
Fillmore East is very fine, but my favorite Allman Brothers live recording is "Live at Ludlow Garage, 1970". Cannot go wrong with that one.
Written by guitarist Dickey Betts, who soloed first. Stunned you hadn't noticed Gregg Allman on keys, guess you were preoccupied with the twin drummers, Jai Johnny Johanson and Butch Trucks, uncle of acclaimed slide guitarist Derek.
Bassist Berry Oakley sadly perished in a motorcycle accident not far from where guitarist Duane Allman's had his own fatal encounter with a peach truck and about a year later. Rest In Peace and Power, Skydog, Berry, Butch and Gregg. 💔😢🙏🏽
🎸🎶🌈🌉❤️✨️🕊
Should do the whole album!
You might need some Allman Brothers 'Soul Shine' (album) in your life!!
You got it right. Thanks for sharing this.
@L33Reacts Duane Allmann was a gifted guitarist. He was becoming an in demand session player as well as playing in this band. The song Layla by Derek and the Dominos would be quite different if Duane didn't meet Eric Clapton in Florida
One way out should be next on your list from the same album! I’ve never listened to another album as many times as I’ve listened to this one in my entire collection dating back to late 60s early 70s! Another artist you need to check out is Rory Gallagher! This dude could jam! His live performances were nothing less than spectacular! I recommend live performances only of Moonchild, Shadow Play, Last Of The Independents, Pistol Slapper Blues, Laundromat, Bullfrog Blues, Off The Handle, and Shin Kicker! ✌️🤘🎸
16mm film before VHS! Wait Till You Hear Dwayne on Slide other than "Layla!' He's God On Slide at time "Whipping Post!"would be my next choice to hear!
To hear Duane Allman's (who soloed second) signature slide guitar song, hear him on "Statesboro Blues". Some of his signature licks from that song are widely copied. I hope you also check out the later band lineup with Derek Trucks (nephew of the drummer Butch) and Warren Haynes on guitars (like on the 2003 Beacon Theatre DVD). Derek played many of Duane's slide guitar parts in their old material. Duane also played on Eric Clapton's "Derek And The Dominos" album, so Derek Trucks toured with Clapton, and they played some of the material from that album, with Derek playing Duane Allman's parts.
If I could only have three albums It would be this Fillmore East album, Derrick and the Dominos and George Harrison's All Things Must Pass.
1971 was pre-VHS, lol. Home video players/recorders didn't become commonplace until the 1980's. And it was all analog at the time, not digital.
THE BEST JAMMING ROAD TRIP MUSIC EVER!! 🔥🐐🎸🥁🥁🎹🏍️🚐 Saw them 3 times!! 😍😢
Two part guitar harmonies, occasionally added a third voice in the organ....
This is actually sounds like it's the studio recording dubbed with film from the Fillmore East . There are videos with sound from this performance out there . The Version of the song on their album "Live at the Fillmore East" is the signature version of this song . As a fellow drummer & NYC area resident for most of my life , I had the pleasure of seeing the later versions of the band during their annual "March Madness" Beacon Theater residency and when I would sit in the loge or balcony for a show I would always watch some of the stuff Jaimoe , a trained jazz drummer would lay down opposite Butch "Freight Train" Trucks laying down the primary beat . I loved watching him play something that as I'm watching , thinking "How did He Make THAT Fit ?!? "
I seem to recall the Fillmore East album was put together two or three nights and somewhat pieced together to get the best result for the album. So maybe this could be from a nights performance not used on the original Fillmore East album. I also noticed on they were going right into the next song -Whipping Post as you can hear those opening bass notes. But on the Fillmore East album that song has an iconic introduction from Duane- “We got a little number from our first album we're going to do for you. Berry starts her off" - then someone in audience calls out “Whipping Post!" and Duane responds, "You guessed it” then the bass starts.
@@bradsense7431 . I Know The Version of "Elizabeth Reed" on LAFE Is from 2 separate performances . Producer Tom Dowd has said it himself . The splice point according to him was when Duane's solo comes in , on the album recording , which is from a different take from the songs beginning on that album . At the time the Brothers only had a limited set list so playing the same songs on 3 consecutive nights was not an issue as they played the same songs (but as fans of the band know those same songs could sound very different from one night to the next ) You have to love the bands stamina at that time , playing You Don't Love Me > Whipping Post > Mountain Jam without stopping , well over an hour worth of playing with no breaks . Even years later they kept up that crazy pace . I saw them at Jones Beach in 2004 with the amazing guitar tandem of Warren Haynes & Derek Trucks channeling Duane & Dickey as they Played without stopping , "Black Hearted Woman ( with "The Other One" jam at the end ) which flowed into Mountain Jam , which made a pit stop to drop in some of the jazz song "Afro Blue" in , then went back into Mountain Jam and then brought it into "Whipping Post" to conclude the set . Then when you thought things couldn't get better , they dropped an amazing version of "Layla" for the encore . I have the Instant Live recording of this show & it is probably the best performance I've ever seen them give & I saw them 35 times over the years , so to me that's saying something .
@@user-bh5jv8hi3b that 2004 show must have been amazing. I first knew of ABB when a friend had the Fillmore East album and we played that thing over and over again. Their sound had such appeal to me I was hooked right away. The mix of rock, blues, jazz ,country and even Latin I hear when listen to them was so unique. That was around 1972. I eventually saw them live four or five times in later seventies and through the eighties. I don’t have much desire to go to concerts anymore but probably have seen a couple hundred back in the day. The one exception is I want to see Tedeschi Trucks Band live. Watching videos of them perform stirs up something in me and if the opportunity comes I am taking it.
Now you’re getting into the meat of rock ‘n’ roll! Love this pic. Excellent critique Lee! Also don’t worry about remembering all the band members names. Just remember you are here to react to the music. I really enjoy watching your reaction to the sound of the music. The Allman Brothers have had many different lineups as far as members. Looking forward to your reaction to more Allman Brothers, especially when you hear Gregg Allman‘s vocals and keyboards on other songs. Love this channel Lee!!!
Thanks for posting the vid, ~~~ Tho I wish they'd given a bit of visual coverage to Berry on bass. He and the drummers are the backbone of the piece, and I don't think I saw him once. (By the way, as a kid, I had NO idea there *were* 2 drummers, they're so tight !!) ~~~~And then they launched right into "Whipping Post" !!
Oh! Je ne connaissait pas,, c'est vraiment bon. Très bonne suggestion
There is a great video of Whipping Post from the same concert. You should react to that one too.
So you would like their live Whipping Post at Filmore East, 1970. One of my favorite groups growing up in the 60's and 70's. Duane was arguably the best slide blues/rock guitarist of them all. If i remember right he invented the glass slide using a broken bottle or something. Here's the jam: ua-cam.com/video/FUvxRjYqjEQ/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB what a show, improv and all. Thing that kills me tho is half the time Duane's killin it the camera is on someone else. Barry Oakley (bass) died around the time Duane did.
NEXT LEVEL SHIT
Great job
