I saw them at the Boston Commons in August of 1971, just months before Duane died. One of the best concerts I've ever seen and one of the tightest bands I've ever seen.
They were the "Allman Brothers BLUES Band". Not "the definition of Souther Rock, brother. BLUES! All those chord progressions, the style of the lyrics, that's Blues. Yes, they got into Jazz Blues too. But not really rock 'n' roll. That's why Duane Allman played with Eric Clapton, as blues musicians.
Hello - Kathy here - The Allman Brothers were one of the, if not the best, southern rock and roll band. I am from Georgia, and I met Greg, lead singer, when I was 14 years old. We remained friends over the years, keeping in touch, him having tickets waiting for me anytime they played near where I lived. I even did an episode of a TV show and got him to come in as the guest actor. When Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1971, all of Georgia and the rock community wept. Stayed friends with Greg up until the day he died 5 years ago. There will never be another band like them. Most of them gone way to soon. Thanks for your reaction. You need to check out Statesboro Blues, Whipping Post, Ain't my Cross to bear, Midnight rider. Anything by them is amazing.
TY Kathy for the story. My cousin was their Roadie, Red Dog, so I got some great insight and concerts to remember. MY cousin was ALWAYS independent and his own person. First "hippie" in our family around that time. He was wild, but always sweet and loyal. RIP to those gone too soon. Be well Kathy.
I think, that some of the younger generations don't get in situations like in this song. They're too into video games & nerding out to find themselves with a girl who's seeing them on the side & end up trapped with "One Way Out", when the girl's boyfriend or husband shows up, so they don't recognize the situation. This used to be a common scenario. Things were a lot rougher then.
@@sparky6086 ohhh chillll. This song strikes me, a 22 year old, so strongly because I’ve dealt with the same ridiculous scenario plenty of times before. The world ain’t changed much as ya might think ;)
@@PaulImprota black musician-I should have known! Love when I get to hear the original black artists that often inspired all of my favorite music. Thanks for sharing, Paul!

Duane Allman was killed shortly after the release of this album, At Fillmore East, which is considered one of the best live albums ever. This is one of their signature songs on an album filled with signature songs.
I hope you react to "Stormy Monday," by Allmans, live at Fillmore. I don't think there is a live video, but it was recorded there. Originally done in 1950's by T-Bone Walker, but most say the Allmans own it. Beautiful Blues!!
This was a cover of Elmore James. Much of what is "classic rock" was nothing more than covers of Black blues artists who only go play on "race radio". ua-cam.com/video/t7qKYPysur8/v-deo.html
Sad to see so few views/likes on this video. I guess the Allman Brother's Band -- a GREAT blues band -- has pretty much been lost in the dustbin of history.
Best Blues Band ever. Brothers Greg, and Duayne, are both fantastic in their own right. Greg's soulful voice and keyboards, along with brother Duayne's "slide guitar" playing are top shelf musicians. Then add in the great Dickie Betts guitar, and that's why they sound the way they do. First heard them in 1971 while doing my tour in Vietnam. A little smoke, a few Beers and some Allman Brothers Blues, got through that war. Thanks
When Duane Allman wanted to start his own band, Jaimoe was the first person he asked to join, Jaimoe said Duane get Butch Trucks too. Butch was next, Jaimoe gave the "Brothers" the jazz influence that made the whole greater than the sum of its parts.
Both Duane and Gregg have passed now. However, I did see The Michel Allman Band, including Gregg's son and Dickie Bett's son, Duane in Lakeland, FL a few months ago. Several of the band members played. One guy I know I knew but never could figure out who he was. Dickie Betts, known as one of the world's best guitarists, was an original member of the band. I laughed when you said everyone looked tipsy. Drugs were the drink of the day back then.
The groove is so tight here. Do you have any idea how hard it is to pull this off with six musicians all sounding like they are free styling but all so tight?
Much respect to ya & ABB. The original video is from 11/2/1972 Berry Oakley (Bass Player) last performance. The recording is indeed live at Filmore East.
FYI, the video is NOT of this performance. Also, for the record, this song was recorded at the "closing of the Fillmore East" show around June 27, 1971, and not the Fillmore shows from several months earlier that made it onto the "Live at the Fillmore East" recordings.
If this doesn't move ya, call the coroner: you're dead! Maybe the best live rock album ever produced. While Dwayne was alive, with that supernatural slide, this was as good as any band there has ever been.
He's the "other man." Lord you got me trapped woman, up on the second floor; If I get by this time I won't be trapped no more. So raise your window baby, and I can ease out soft and slow. And lord, your neighbors, no they won't be Talking that stuff that they don't know. Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place, I know some man gonna walk in and take my place. Ain't no way in the world, I'm going out that front door Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.
Dickie Betts would take his solo and take the crowd on a ride farther, faster and high enough for Duane get ahold of them and run that slide right through you. An wonderful and important movie for all fans of good music to see is Muscle Shoals. The musicians, writers, producers and performers sought out this studio and its band that was across the road from a Mississippi cotton field.
Sonny boy Williams and Elmore James. Wake up bro we love old field songs. Blues revival we surely need. Real music in progress. We stopped progressing about 30 years ago and started re- guessing. Get back to the roots
Twon, the reason you ain't seen them live is because they're mostly all dead. Duane Allman (guitar) died at 24 in a bike crash, Greg Allman singer died of liver cancer some years ago and the rest are like me, all rickety in their seventies. But rock on, sonny. You're cool.
Confused by your opening remark. It is abundantly clear that he is with a woman he shouldn't be with - and a man is outside and he could be her man - so he is scared to leave and there is only one way out - the front door. Very clear.
That entire “Fillmore East” performance is great! ✌🏼🔥🔥
I saw them at the Boston Commons in August of 1971, just months before Duane died. One of the best concerts I've ever seen and one of the tightest bands I've ever seen.
You’re a lucky guy.
I remember Duane died Oct of 71, comes to mind every Oct since
Some of the best musicians of all time!
Definition of "Southern Rock", with some blues soul and country. Duane Allman is a great guitar player.
Actually the lead guitarist is Dickey Betts who later formed his own band the 'Dickey Betts Band" saw them three times in clubs. They were excellent!
They were the "Allman Brothers BLUES Band". Not "the definition of Souther Rock, brother. BLUES! All those chord progressions, the style of the lyrics, that's Blues. Yes, they got into Jazz Blues too. But not really rock 'n' roll. That's why Duane Allman played with Eric Clapton, as blues musicians.
I started listening to the Allman brothers in 1970 and have loved them ever since. I LOVE watching young people discover them!!
Ms.Diane I started bout that same time n a day without ABB is like a day without sunshine..God Bless
The OGs of Southern rock!
One of my favorite songs by them. So glad you enjoyed it. Great reaction!
The best southern blues/rock band to grace the planet.THE ALLMAN BROTHERS....

The BEST Live album of all time ....period .. :)
My man Gregg Allman singing the blues..RIP Gregg..Duane. Berry..and Butch..They were the best damn band in the Land!👍✌🎶
Holy shit man. Who didn't know what this song was about the first time they heard it?
DUHHH DEE DUHHHH!!!!!

Allman Brothers, top tier.
TWO DRUMMERS!!!!!🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬
Not tipsy. Either tripping their asses off or stoned or both. I'm from that generation, so I speak from experience.
I’ve been tipsy , stoned, and trippin at multiple Allman shows! 😂
That slide guitar!
Incredible!
Thank you to Petey (PD?) for once again steering you in the right direction! Excellent reaction!
And this one was originally done by the great Elmore James. Mr. James was covered by many great white blues artist such as SRV, Eric Clapton, at al
I love how Duane is able to change his shirt back and forth without missing a note.

Twon boppin' to the Allman Bros Band, love it!
Best slide guitarist in history...
he and dickie both had so much emotion in their playing. Technically great, but so much more.
He's caught up on the 2nd floor
Blues, Jazz, Gospel, Swing, Rock......every feel in the World!
Sad to see so few views/likes on this video. I guess the Allman Brother's Band -- a GREAT blues band -- has pretty much been lost in the dustbin of history.
Gregg Allman married, divorced and had a son with Cher- Elijah Blue.
bought this album the week it came out,i was 14 and listened to it all the time..still do...fly high skydog and dickey betts..wow,what a duo
🙏RIP GREG AND DUANE🙏

Soul has no color.God has no color.We need more people to understand that.Love the Allman brothers.
#NoLimitNation ✊
The greatest rock blues band ever.
The Best band ever. Thanx for reacting young sir. You might like Soulshine by the Brothers

I miss them and many others from those times😢
The group played all styles of music.
BEST LIVE BAND EVER!!🎷🎸🎵🎶🎹🎶🎵🎸🎹🎶
He's saying they've been busted by her man downstairs. It's one way out, and he's not going out that mf'ing door. That's it. That's all he's saying.
The groove is so tight here. Do you have any idea how hard it is to pull this off with six musicians all sounding like they are free styling but all so tight?
I just love the music from my generation
I’m a product of the sixties and grew up in sixties and seventies. These guys knew how to rock out!
Thanks for your reaction !
The show must go on.
The lead vocalist and lead/slide guitar player were both under age 23 at time of the recording. True musical Genius! What a band
I love the dual guitar solos.
"Soul is a feeling'...Wilson Pickett. Seen Greg Allman on his "I'm No Angel" tour. A small arena or a huge bar...Montana's in the Pacific Northwest.
This is what happens when you have two guitar gods in the same band.
NLT was boppin' to this tune.
best voice ever.

Real Music ❤😂
Duane used the little “cream” bottle they used in diners back in the day for his slider. Butch and JJ on drums.
Face....that song kicks ass!......More Allman Brothers!...Nice job!
ABB ~ 🎼🐐
ABB = Orginators of Southern Rock

He said spread your window baby
This is as good as any music ever heard by man. Greg’s mom said he sounded like and was as soulful as James Brown 😀❤️
glad you enjoyed the song, but i dont even think you noticed there was two lead guitar players and two drummers
It's another word beginning with the letter t Tripping 🤪😜👍🏻🍄🍄

First lyric: “you got me trapped woman, up on the 2nd floor, if I get by this time I won’t be trapped no more” Pay attention dude!
Hes trapped on the second floor and the window is his only way out.
Raise your window baby, I can ease out soft and slow.
That’s exactly what it’s saying, he trapped with some other man’s woman on the 2nd floor
He's the "other man."
Lord you got me trapped woman, up on the second floor;
If I get by this time I won't be trapped no more.
So raise your window baby, and I can ease out soft and slow.
And lord, your neighbors, no they won't be
Talking that stuff that they don't know.
Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place,
I know some man gonna walk in and take my place.
Ain't no way in the world, I'm going out that front door
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.
I have their music on my phone.
Statesboro Blues is epic
Chooglin'!
RIP #Skydog
Growing up in the south getting caught in bed with another man's wife was a serious charge. Had serious consequences too.
Dickie Betts would take his solo and take the crowd on a ride farther, faster and high enough for Duane get ahold of them and run that slide right through you.

yeh, man : them two is makin The Beast With Two Backs & he might be getting pinched, out th window will work : ain't gonna happen again...
He’s in trouble! That woman’s husband came home early.
Yeah. Nothing like Gregg Allman's vocals and Duane's slide guitar.
This is an old Elmore James tune.
Alicia Keys “Like You’ll Never See me Again “
Alicia Keys ft Snoh Aalegra “You Save Me “
Not tipsy more like mushrooms it’s what we did at Allman’s concerts
Tipsy? Yes, you might put it that way lol.
🍄🌲💥🌈🌲🍄
REMEMBER Duane ALLMAN ❤️☮️ 🍑 🍄
Straight up cheatin’! 😂❤
Dude just smashed but he can't go out the front door because her man might be the one that's downstairs.

Tipsy is somewhat accurate 😂😂😂
They were before Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Just so you know, I don't think the video is from the same performance as the music, which is why itv doesn't fit together.
Confused by your opening remark. It is abundantly clear that he is with a woman he shouldn't be with - and a man is outside and he could be her man - so he is scared to leave and there is only one way out - the front door. Very clear.
There's absolutely no way the message could be any clearer. Unless your a 5 year old!
You ain't to bright if you don't get the meaning of this song.
