You guys know we literally had to check out The Allman Brothers Band again!! Whipping Post was too good! And this one showed another side of them! Both songs got 10’s!! What’s another track by them you guys think we’d give a 10 too?!?!! Can we get 3 for 3?! Have a great day guys!! 🔥😁🤟🏻🤟🏻
Blue Sky by the Allman Brothers is amazing. Watch Mojo ranks it in the top ten best rock and roll solos. But i guess they never heard Birdsong live 08/27/72 by The Dead because it didnt even make the list Bumma
My jam. This is the song that made everyone instantly cool by just listening to it. We had on our bell bottom jeans. EVERYONE had long hair. We were happy and free. Life was good and fun! But the Allman Brothers made us all cooler somehow. It is southern gospel. So Midnight Rider is party and laughter. Blue Sky is should be next. It's eating stew in a field making googly eyes on a crush. Ha!
Guys, gotta do JESSICA, ONE WAY OUT, STATESBORO BLUES, SOUTHBOUND, MELISSA, REVIVAL. If you think MIDNIGHT RIDER is a 10, these songs are a twenty! 🔥🔥🔥
1970 was the pinnacle high point of a decade of the most phenomenal lyrical and instrumental musical compositions in history. Jessica - is a great song from 1973 Allman Bros. 🤗
@@lorifrantz1127 That song broke my heart for some reason. I'm checking out your fav lists.....you've got game. Not too many people save "Dirty Work" by the Dan.......good on you.
When you have stellar musicians like the ABB it's just magic. These guys were so young, too. Gregg turned into a great songwriter, and other members did also, like Dickie (blue Skye). Oh, I think the length was for radio play. They were pressured by their record co. to put out some "hits" so they could make bigger money. The ABB still did it their way, but did put out some music that was better for radio to let more fans get to know them. I'm sure they can do a Long jam on this song as well when in concert.Thanks for playing this !!!
This is so telling as I grew up on this stuff. I am 62 so....... well I am so pleased that you guys are checking things out and keeping OUR music alive, because this belongs to everyone!
You wanted a banger but this is more of a groove... Still, as a HUGE Allman Brothers fan, I LOVE IT! You want a Banger from this LEGENDARY band? Try Statesborough Blues and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed From Live at the Fillmore East - it's only THE GREATEST LIVE ALBUM EVER RECORDED! Keep on rockin, boyz!
This song is just hypnotic with that driving, simple guitar line that holds like a horse in a steady gallup. Most brilliant part of an amazing song for me.
Talkin Bout Nawlins Well, I was more or less setting you straight, The Allman Brothers covered a song, they didn’t take credit for writing One Way Out. Led Zeppelin is a different story because let’s face it, they ripped off everyone. I don’t need you to ask for my opinion, I’ll give it when it’s needed son.
@@ewoe21 I understand what he is saying.I dont think you do.One question.Do you think the Allman Brothers Band split down with any money to the Williamson Estate? If not the song was stolen.Im pretty sure there were no royalties paid.This was not the only song.Stormy Monday Blues is one of many.Im waiting to see how you reply.
Wee Willie You raise a good point, but to be fair, they gave credit to whoever wrote the song, and paid royalties to whoever own the publishing rights. Now if they said they wrote the song, and kept all the money like the way Led Zeppelin did on a lot of songs, well then that’s stealing.
You guys need to listen to their live at the Fillmore East album.... all of it. Best live album of all time. Be ready to have your young minds blown!!🤘
There’s nothing like this being put out nowadays. I didn’t realize I was living thru some of the most creative times on the planet. No wonder I love life like I do.
I love the updated version that Gregg Allman made on his first solo album. He played it in a slower tempo, with the song evoking a slow walk through a Western ghost town. Gregg's tasty keyboard really made this track an essential listen.
A lot of their songs are tapestries of poetry. Accompanied by music that set's an acoustic standard for depth and feel that many have tried to emulate. They showed an entire generation how to make beautiful music. The timeless stories and melodies will continue never go out of style or be considered less beautiful, ever. ❤
Guys, sometimes you have to take into account when these songs were recorded. If they were intended for radio-play, there were time restraints. This was a single release.
3 minutes was the Max for quite a long time if you hoped to get on the radio. In those days, radio was pretty much the ONLY way to get your music out there to the public. Radio stations wielded immense power and the thousands of stories about all the shenanigans radio stations forced the artists and their agents to perform are legendary...and funny and perverted and most of the time...illegal.
This song has been covered by so many other artists: Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Bob Seger, Patti Smith, Atlanta Rhythm Section, UB40, Garth Brooks, Zach Williams, Eric Church to name only a few. You should listen to "Melissa", very mellow and melancholy but artistically brilliant. And if you want an instrumental go for "Jessica" - perfection. "Ramblin' Man" and "Black Hearted Woman" are also great tracks.
You guys should react to some Supertramp. Some of their lesser known songs like fools overture, Rudy, asylum, Babaji, or crime of the century. Certainly there are others but I’ve Been getting into them and think the instrumentation is amazing. Keep reacting 🤘🤙
It's so fun watching you guys listen to great songs with headphones on. It's like alex is dancing to the right side and andy is dancing to the left side.
Kathy here - again, another great reaction from you two. So glad you found them and love them as much as I do. Your smiles are infectious when you are both so into the music. And those heads just a bopping! Makes me smile to see young people bopping to the music I used to. And I will be 69 soon!
You guys have had me strolling down memory lane. Here's what I've come up with so far: John Mayall - California King Crimson-21st Century Schizoid Man Van Morrison-And It Stoned Me Johnny Winter-Slippin' and Slidin' Savoy Brown - Tell Mama Canned Heat-Going up the Country The Band-Acadian Driftwood TAJ MAHAL-Queen Bee Dr Hook - Freakin' at the Freaker's Ball The Moody Blues - Ride My See-Saw Just some of the stuff that I liked listening to back in the day. Almost every artist in the above list deserves a thorough listening to. More to come if my memory has held up.
A&A - Blue Eyed Soul "10"! So happy you revisited and loved! Agree the radio version is too short & cuts off, but they turn this into a jam session live. Last comment. "I've got one more silver dollar..." Is one of the best lines delivered. All kinds of goodness. Excellent! Have a good one! :))
@@mikehawkertz9237 I agree. However, I do like to hear the studio version first. The test: Can they pull it off live? If yes... Then they're the real deal.
More Allman Bros. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Dreams, Statesboro Blues, Ramblin Man, Southbound, Soulshine, Melissa, Jessica, Ain’t Wastin Time No More, Little Martha, Revival, Wasted Words, Blue Sky, One Way Out. No particular order on my part as far as I’m concernned they are all great songs. There are of course more.
Hey guys, I'm a geezer who's absolutely loving watching you discover these songs/bands for the first time. I'm lucky enough to have seen the Allman Brothers a bunch of times, and as great as their tunes were, their live versions are ridiculous! Live at the Fillmore East is probably one of the finest live albums you'll ever hear. If the fadeout is too fast for you on the studio versions, have no fear - the live versions are jamtastic! Check out the live version of Whipping Post, or for a change of pace, the beautiful instrumental "In memory of Elizabeth Reed". You won't be disappointed!
JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA!!! One of the best(and happiest) instrumentals of all time!! Best ABB song IMO.
I'm curious to find out if I'm the lone dissenter who finds IMOER boring. So far it's just me in that club. (On the plus side, all my motions carry and nobody ever interrupts me!)
Jessica is an absolute MUST from the Allmans and rock music in general. If you guys love instrumentation and recording, it’s just a masterpiece. It’s the best instrumental ever written. Bank it!
As a baby boomer in his sixties, having lived and flourished in the times that these artists originally recorded and released this music, it is very moving and gratifying to me to have young people such as the two of you exploring and appreciating this music. These are the sounds and energy that powered so many of us through our lives, this kick ass commitment to the rock and roll ideals of living life to its fullest. Now long replaced by drab factory music. But just as dinosaurs once strode the earth in droves, this music was everywhere in our lives, so many great artists, too many to actually even rediscover in full--and young people today have no idea. So I appreciate and as I said, am moved by young people such as yourself who are making the effort to listen to this music and allow yourselves to be moved and even shaken by it. I loved your reaction the moment when Roger Daltrey screams towards the end of The Who's "Won't Ge Fooled Again." That scream happens to be one of the great moments in rock and roll, maybe the purest expression of the art that exists, certainly one of the top ten moments. And it was great to see your honest excitement. What next? SO much more. Of the Allman Brothers probably just get right to their most played classic, "One Way Out," though for a little change and some exquisite guitar duets, "Blue Skies." The early Allman brothers were powered by legendary guitarist Duane Allman, who died all too young and early in a motorcycle accident (his brother Greg handles the vocals and plays keyboards). He is featured on both the songs I mentioned (along with fellow guitarist Dickie Betts) and also lent his magic to "Whipping Post." Other legends you should check out: Ten Years After and super guitarist Alvin Lee. Try their supercharged version of "Coming Home" on the woodstock album (that one you should watch as well as listen to). Also give albino guitarist Johnny Winter a listen. Wow. Try his version of "Johnny B Goode," though almost anything he ever recorded will do. Santana is amazing. Start with "Black Magic Woman." Anyway I really am enjoying your videos and getting a chance to relive some of the greatest music of all time through fresh ears. Thanks!
So many worthy songs...if you choose Statesboro Blues, make sure it's the live version from the Fillmore recordings. Jessica and Liz Reed are monster instrumentals. Seven Turns, End Of The Line, and Nobody Left To Run With are quality tunes from the Betts/Haynes period, and their recording of Rockin' Horse from Hittin' The Note is one of the best versions of that song.
🙋🏾 This has gotta be the coolest of Southern Rock bands ever and this song I agree put them there at a square 10! 💁🏾 The next song you’ll enjoy would be Ramblin’ Man which is a fast ditty that couples can dance the two step with each other ✌🏾!
Another good reaction. Always loved this song. But you know I am going to keep pishing gor Foreigner Jukebox Hero. Live 70's version. You need to hear it guys. 👍💛🎶🎤🎧
I'm SO glad to see that you guys had done this song; I just found this. I've long said to you two that this needs to be a mandatory add to your driving play list.....BUT......for late night drives. Those long, late night, very dark drives.....you put this on, it's PERFECT. Don't ask me why.
I have to say Allman Bros put on the absolute best concert I ever went to and there were so many. They are the ultimate jam band and they never stopped. Saw them a few times but my favorite was Three rivers stadium and they never stopped for three hours. Phenomenal. I would say this was around 1974.
In Memory of Elizabeth Reed is on of the greatest instrumentals you’ll ever listen to. One Way Out is an ABB classic... The there’s Kind a Bird, which was the tribute to Charlie Parker, cowritten by Warren Haynes... Also, check out Gov’t Mule..., Warren’s main band. There first 5 albums are ridiculous.
The next song MUST be In Memory of Elizabeth Reed from Live at the Fillmore East. Damn it....just do literally any song from that album. The greatest live album ever made.
My absolute favorite allman bros song, and though there are many. This brings back so many memories for me. Love the songs that you react to. Keep up the good work. It keeps our music alive.
Off Topic -- Robin Trower. "Bridge of Sighs" song & album.-- You may be ready for this power trio. I think you'll dig on this band in similar way. So good!! imo
@@charlielightfoot7006 They are beyond excellent! I brought up RT earlier as well. Now seems to be a good point in time for A&A? The Allman Brothers are a great gateway! ;)
We had a jukebox in the cafeteria at my Highschool! Also had a shack made out of stockade fence for ummm smoking. Right outside the back doors and noone bothered us. Ahhhh the early 70s.
Oooo. Nice! Everyone gives Clapton all of the credit, but Duane Allman was 50% of the guitar work. Not to mention, the most memorable, high pitched screaming wails are the brilliance of Duane. Clapton (and others) said Duane was his musical soulmate. Very cool!
This is one of those rare popular songs that never gets old for me. Like, I used to be obsessed with this song and Ramblin' Man equally about 20 years ago. But eventually I stopped being moved by Ramblin' Man but Midnight Rider still evokes an emotion to this day.
Love what your doing. Next "live" reaction NEEDS to be this love song by Ted Nugent. Song: Wang Dang Sweet Poontang Album: Double Live Gonzo 110% guaranteed BANGER
Fuggin love this song. Allman brothers are great. Listen to Blue Sky by Allman Brother’s. One of the best solo’s you’ll ever hear. Besides Birdsong live 08/27/72 by Grateful Dead
@Pony Boy Thanks man! I’m not sure id we’d do a video for that Grateful Dead clip only bc nobody else has really asked for it BUT if you shoot us a message on Facebook or instagram I’ll personally watch it and give you a thoughtful response to it! 😁
Andy & Alex sounds like a very generous offer & yeah haha ive garnered almost no support for it 😂so Ill take your offer! Hoping you’ll be very honest with your critique!
Andy & Alex The grateful dead are the greatest hippie band of all time. You HAVE to check them out. maybe start with their biggest song “Touch of grey.” peace guys ✌️ ☮️
Lisa W ahhhh thank you! You are my one longtime supporter! Thank you so much for supporting the request, i may have given up a long time ago if it werent for you! :))
Whether you react to it or not, you have to listen to Greg Allman's version of Midnight Rider off his "Laid back" album as a solo artist. It's a completely different arrangement...haunting and excellent
Statesboro Blues, Stormy Monday, pretty much Anything from the Live at the Filmore East album. (Duane Allman was still alive playing amazing slide guitar)
Re: Dave Matthews Band. "Under the Table and Dreaming" was a worthy album, and I saw and really enjoyed the band twice on that tour. Then it was all downhill from there. Sigh!
@@ronforeman2556 about the only thing the Dave Mathews Band did that I kinda liked was that song :"Crash" that the FCC forbid radio stations from playing a while after 9/11.
You guys know we literally had to check out The Allman Brothers Band again!! Whipping Post was too good! And this one showed another side of them! Both songs got 10’s!! What’s another track by them you guys think we’d give a 10 too?!?!! Can we get 3 for 3?! Have a great day guys!! 🔥😁🤟🏻🤟🏻
Will UA-cam let you do Ramblin' Man (studio version) without a block? Their biggest hit (chart wise).
Blue Sky by the Allman Brothers is amazing. Watch Mojo ranks it in the top ten best rock and roll solos. But i guess they never heard Birdsong live 08/27/72 by The Dead because it didnt even make the list
Bumma
Andy & Alex Black Hearted Woman next 100%.
This is a fantastic song! Loved that you loved it! My favorite is Crossroads.
@@mikeymckinnon5778 Agree. It's a bluesy banger! :)
Glad you're discovering these songs that my generation grew up on. We didn't know how lucky we were to have such great music.
Oh, we knew alright….still do.
Reminds me of vinyl seats, crank windows, and pull tab beer cans. Bittersweet to hear this anymore 💚
and beat up Mustang 67 Fastbacks
Life was so much easier then, wasn't it?
My jam. This is the song that made everyone instantly cool by just listening to it. We had on our bell bottom jeans. EVERYONE had long hair. We were happy and free. Life was good and fun! But the Allman Brothers made us all cooler somehow. It is southern gospel. So Midnight Rider is party and laughter. Blue Sky is should be next. It's eating stew in a field making googly eyes on a crush. Ha!
Ramblin' Man, Statesboro Blues, One Way Out, Soulshine, Trouble No More, Revival, Wasted Words...so many...
Yup. They laid down countless great tracks.
"Ramblin' Man" would be my first choice. "Good Clean Fun" would be a great track to compare their later releases in the 1990's with the earlier hits.
Guys, gotta do JESSICA, ONE WAY OUT, STATESBORO BLUES, SOUTHBOUND, MELISSA, REVIVAL. If you think MIDNIGHT RIDER is a 10, these songs are a twenty! 🔥🔥🔥
Oh, sorry but I almost forgot! Add RAMBLIN' MAN and BLUE SKY to that list also! 🔥🔥
No one to run with anymore...
1970 was the pinnacle high point of a decade of the most phenomenal lyrical and instrumental musical compositions in history.
Jessica - is a great song from 1973 Allman Bros. 🤗
Total agreement about 1970. A little reefer, a little ABB, ...perfection.
"Melissa" is an acoustic ballad with an electric lead that weaves within the vocal.
Great song!
Freaking top notch song
Think you are confusing Sweet Melissa with Jessica. Melissa has beautiful lyrics. Jessica, great instrumental road song.
Sweet Melissa is a great song!
Jessica is the acoustic ballad - my sister named her daughter after the song. Melissa is an amazing song squeezes tears from the cold stones
Impossible not to like this song!
"JESSICA" By THE ALLMAN BROTHERS is a must and you wont be disappointed
Gregg Allman's death was the hardest on me lately. Thanks for playing this one.
Yes, miss Gregg much. I measure the timeline of my life by ABB songs.
Did you see the interview he did with Dan Rather and played that song on the piano at the end? That always reduces me to a puddle....
@@rubbersole79 yes I did. Saw it first time 2 weeks before he died.
@@lorifrantz1127 That song broke my heart for some reason. I'm checking out your fav lists.....you've got game. Not too many people save "Dirty Work" by the Dan.......good on you.
Completely agree. Between him and Chris Cornell, I’ve had a few rough years of losing my musical heroes.
When you have stellar musicians like the ABB it's just magic. These guys were so young, too. Gregg turned into a great songwriter, and other members did also, like Dickie (blue Skye).

Try "I'm no angel," by Greg Allman-has all the elements of a great one.
There are so many great Allman Brothers songs, but DREAMS will knock your socks OFF!
You wanted a banger but this is more of a groove...
Still, as a HUGE Allman Brothers fan, I LOVE IT!
You want a Banger from this LEGENDARY band?
Try
Statesborough Blues
and
In Memory of Elizabeth Reed
From Live at the Fillmore East - it's only
THE GREATEST LIVE ALBUM EVER RECORDED!
Keep on rockin, boyz!
BLUE SKY! Amazing guitar collaboration. Beautiful vocals and just a feel good Southern Rock song!
This song is just hypnotic with that driving, simple guitar line that holds like a horse in a steady gallup. Most brilliant part of an amazing song for me.
ONE WAY OUT - Live at The Filmore 1971 ))))))))))
Oh yeah
Talkin Bout Nawlins I don’t remember The Allman Brothers saying they wrote One Way Out. It’s called the covered, not stole
Talkin Bout Nawlins Well, I was more or less setting you straight, The Allman Brothers covered a song, they didn’t take credit for writing One Way Out.

I would add my own vote for Jessica or Melissa as well, each are classics.
Allman Brothers - One Way Out
Totally different than the 3 you've heard
Next song--an instrumental: "Jessica" from Brothers and Sisters
Yes that song and Blue Sky are possibly my favorite songs of all time. No music puts me in a better mood.
I second Blue Sky, and I third Jessica, though I would put Jessica first.
Unequivocally one of the best rock instrumentals ever. Have to, have to, have to do Jessica next.
@@jasonremy1627 So many Allman tracks to discover for A and A
@@stevedemeter5629 I know, I can't wait! ;-)
Guys the next song by the Allman Brothers Band has got to be "In memory of Elizabeth Reed". It's their guitar masterpiece!
Need to hear “It’s not my Cross to Bear”. It’s an emergency!
I’ve probably heard this song 500+ times in my life but it still feels fresh to me every time 💖🎸🎤
"Melissa" has to be your next AB song. Has to be.
This was the age of the best rock ever. This is the music & concerts that I grew up on.
There’s nothing like this being put out nowadays. I didn’t realize I was living thru some of the most creative times on the planet. No wonder I love life like I do.
Honestly you can’t go wrong with any of their songs, there’s just too many to pick from 💜
Such pleasing music.Two drummers as one.Harmony.Period.
Y’all are AWESOME...Now! No Reactor has reviewed the most beautiful ballad EVER! MELLISA!
When this song comes on the radio in the car, you are obliged to crank it up.
Blue Sky and Jessica are a Allman Brothers MUST. Some of the best guitar playing ever--Period.
The Gregg Allman solo version of this song is by far my favorite! Haunting!
“One Way Out” live from the Filmore!!!!!!!!! Is on the decade of hits album 👍😎👍🤘🎸
....and...
So much SOUL in this song.
....the vocalist....so awesome;
it's like a hearty soupfull
I love the updated version that Gregg Allman made on his first solo album. He played it in a slower tempo, with the song evoking a slow walk through a Western ghost town. Gregg's tasty keyboard really made this track an essential listen.
Laid Back was the album
MY FAVORITE BAND! So happy that college-age guys are discovering not only the Allman Brothers, but 60's-70's Classic Rock in general. Thanks!
Love this song. As always great reaction.
A lot of their songs are tapestries of poetry. Accompanied by music that set's an acoustic standard for depth and feel that many have tried to emulate. They showed an entire generation how to make beautiful music. The timeless stories and melodies will continue never go out of style or be considered less beautiful, ever. ❤
You REALLY should check out Marshall Tucker Band
"Can't you see" is absolutely phenomenal
yes, yes, YES! Agree..
yep!!!!!!
Yesssssss
Absolutely
Love Tucker and Rossington Collins too.
If y'all like southern rock try "Can't You See" Marshall Tucker Band

In memory of Elizabeth Reed needs to be the next AB.
1000% this needs to be the next one.
I agree with this completely!
Yes, and it has to be live from the Filmore East album!
Elizabeth Reed has everything a classical music teacher will tell you to listen for in an old master composition. It's a modern symphony.
Yep...
This song has been covered by so many other artists: Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Bob Seger, Patti Smith, Atlanta Rhythm Section, UB40, Garth Brooks, Zach Williams, Eric Church to name only a few. You should listen to "Melissa", very mellow and melancholy but artistically brilliant. And if you want an instrumental go for "Jessica" - perfection. "Ramblin' Man" and "Black Hearted Woman" are also great tracks.
Plus Gregg Allman himself had a solo hit with a more pop/soul version of the song.
The song where Gregg Allman is most proud of. Amazing song, thanks guys.
You guys should react to some Supertramp. Some of their lesser known songs like fools overture, Rudy, asylum, Babaji, or crime of the century. Certainly there are others but I’ve Been getting into them and think the instrumentation is amazing. Keep reacting 🤘🤙
It's so fun watching you guys listen to great songs with headphones on. It's like alex is dancing to the right side and andy is dancing to the left side.
Ain't Wasting Time No More, Angeline, One Way Out, Rambling Man, Melissa, Statesboro Blues, Blue Sky
Cant Lose What You Never Had is a great tune from the mush lessee known Win Lose Or Draw album
Kathy here - again, another great reaction from you two. So glad you found them and love them as much as I do. Your smiles are infectious when you are both so into the music. And those heads just a bopping! Makes me smile to see young people bopping to the music I used to. And I will be 69 soon!
Brings back memories of high school.
You guys have had me strolling down memory lane. Here's what I've come up with so far: John Mayall - California
King Crimson-21st Century Schizoid Man
Van Morrison-And It Stoned Me
Johnny Winter-Slippin' and Slidin'
Savoy Brown - Tell Mama
Canned Heat-Going up the Country
The Band-Acadian Driftwood
TAJ MAHAL-Queen Bee
Dr Hook - Freakin' at the Freaker's Ball
The Moody Blues - Ride My See-Saw
Just some of the stuff that I liked listening to back in the day. Almost every artist in the above list deserves a thorough listening to. More to come if my memory has held up.
React to RAMBLIN MAN 🤘🏼The Allman Brothers were a great southern rock band
@Marco von Catfish Yeah, they started southern rock.
A&A - Blue Eyed Soul "10"! So happy you revisited and loved! Agree the radio version is too short & cuts off, but they turn this into a jam session live. Last comment. "I've got one more silver dollar..." Is one of the best lines delivered. All kinds of goodness. Excellent! Have a good one! :))
Agreed! AB is such a good "jam band"!
@@tallykev6608 Absolutely. I love when a band is so comfortable & vibe off one another... Takes a lot of trust in each other's abilities. Superb!
Always gotta go with the live versions, just so much more energy
@@mikehawkertz9237 I agree. However, I do like to hear the studio version first. The test: Can they pull it off live? If yes... Then they're the real deal.
More Allman Bros.
In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Dreams, Statesboro Blues, Ramblin Man, Southbound, Soulshine, Melissa, Jessica, Ain’t Wastin Time No More, Little Martha, Revival, Wasted Words, Blue Sky, One Way Out.
No particular order on my part as far as I’m concernned they are all great songs. There are of course more.
SO SO many great songs. Hope they get some for their own playlist and listening.

JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA JESSICA!!! One of the best(and happiest) instrumentals of all time!! Best ABB song IMO.
Dudes you should do In Memory of Elizabeth Reed from the Fillmore album. In many people's opionion the best live album ever done.
I'm curious to find out if I'm the lone dissenter who finds IMOER boring. So far it's just me in that club. (On the plus side, all my motions carry and nobody ever interrupts me!)
Duane's solo on that song might be his best. Amazing album.
Seconded. Live at Filmore East is amazing.
Are you related to Mark Quinones, their long time percussionist?
Yup, and then when they're done doing In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, they should review the whole awe inspiring concert!
Blue Sky is truly one of the most uplifting songs I´ve ever heard. The guitar solo is out of this world.
I cannot recommend this Allman Brothers track enough..."It's not my cross to bear". Straight up one of their best
Hardly anybody is mentioning that one, and yeah, it's top tier stuff.
Magnificent track
Jessica is an absolute MUST from the Allmans and rock music in general. If you guys love instrumentation and recording, it’s just a masterpiece. It’s the best instrumental ever written. Bank it!

Of the Allman Brothers probably just get right to their most played classic, "One Way Out," though for a little change and some exquisite guitar duets, "Blue Skies." The early Allman brothers were powered by legendary guitarist Duane Allman, who died all too young and early in a motorcycle accident (his brother Greg handles the vocals and plays keyboards). He is featured on both the songs I mentioned (along with fellow guitarist Dickie Betts) and also lent his magic to "Whipping Post." Other legends you should check out: Ten Years After and super guitarist Alvin Lee. Try their supercharged version of "Coming Home" on the woodstock album (that one you should watch as well as listen to). Also give albino guitarist Johnny Winter a listen. Wow. Try his version of "Johnny B Goode," though almost anything he ever recorded will do. Santana is amazing. Start with "Black Magic Woman." Anyway I really am enjoying your videos and getting a chance to relive some of the greatest music of all time through fresh ears. Thanks!

Hey friend glad you’re enjoying the vids!! We’re having a total blast with it!! 🔥🔥🤟🏻
"Statesboro blues" "Ain't wasting time no more" "Southbound" ✌💖
So many worthy songs...if you choose Statesboro Blues, make sure it's the live version from the Fillmore recordings. Jessica and Liz Reed are monster instrumentals. Seven Turns, End Of The Line, and Nobody Left To Run With are quality tunes from the Betts/Haynes period, and their recording of Rockin' Horse from Hittin' The Note is one of the best versions of that song.
"LITTLE MARTHA", so different but so pure. I believe it is the only song written by Duane. He said it came to him in a dream.
🙋🏾 This has gotta be the coolest of Southern Rock bands ever and this song I agree put them there at a square 10!
💁🏾 The next song you’ll enjoy would be Ramblin’ Man which is a fast ditty that couples can dance the two step with each other ✌🏾!
I prefer the Greg Allman version of this one, with the horns in the middle section.
It's a neat change-up, but I like the original instrumentation better. Both are certainly worth playing though.
they both are awesome.>The horns are a nice twist.>
Its because of this song that I purchased my first Harley. Im 67 now and been a biker most of my life. Thanks Allman Bros. Miss you guys.
Another good reaction. Always loved this song. But you know I am going to keep pishing gor Foreigner Jukebox Hero. Live 70's version. You need to hear it guys. 👍💛🎶🎤🎧
I'm SO glad to see that you guys had done this song; I just found this. I've long said to you two that this needs to be a mandatory add to your driving play list.....BUT......for late night drives. Those long, late night, very dark drives.....you put this on, it's PERFECT. Don't ask me why.

One Way Out! Incredibly rockin' blues jam.
Stormy Monday from Live at the Fillmore East.
I have to say Allman Bros put on the absolute best concert I ever went to and there were so many. They are the ultimate jam band and they never stopped. Saw them a few times but my favorite was Three rivers stadium and they never stopped for three hours. Phenomenal. I would say this was around 1974.
In Memory of Elizabeth Reed from Fillmore East!!!!
My favorite SONG here. Love this jam. Great SONG. A classic. Good guitar work too. Thank you for sharing this guy's
Jessica, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Blue Sky
In Memory of Elizabeth Reed is on of the greatest instrumentals you’ll ever listen to. One Way Out is an ABB classic... The there’s Kind a Bird, which was the tribute to Charlie Parker, cowritten by Warren Haynes...
Also, check out Gov’t Mule..., Warren’s main band. There first 5 albums are ridiculous.
The next song MUST be In Memory of Elizabeth Reed from Live at the Fillmore East. Damn it....just do literally any song from that album. The greatest live album ever made.
My absolute favorite allman bros song, and though there are many. This brings back so many memories for me. Love the songs that you react to. Keep up the good work. It keeps our music alive.
Off Topic -- Robin Trower. "Bridge of Sighs" song & album.-- You may be ready for this power trio. I think you'll dig on this band in similar way. So good!! imo
@@charlielightfoot7006 They are beyond excellent! I brought up RT earlier as well. Now seems to be a good point in time for A&A? The Allman Brothers are a great gateway! ;)
As I have posted on here before, Bridge of Sighs will make the perfect drunk/stoned reaction video!
@@9337sjm How about "Too Rolling Stoned" for a drunk reaction? Blues bar included! lol Such a fun song!
They would love that.
Lisa W - Also another great track! Full album is prime 70s bluesy rock that we listened to in the early mornings after a night of partying.
We had a jukebox in the cafeteria at my Highschool! Also had a shack made out of stockade fence for ummm smoking. Right outside the back doors and noone bothered us. Ahhhh the early 70s.
Y’all maybe should react to Layla.
Duane Allman n Eric Clapton
Oooo. Nice! Everyone gives Clapton all of the credit, but Duane Allman was 50% of the guitar work. Not to mention, the most memorable, high pitched screaming wails are the brilliance of Duane. Clapton (and others) said Duane was his musical soulmate. Very cool!
This is one of those rare popular songs that never gets old for me. Like, I used to be obsessed with this song and Ramblin' Man equally about 20 years ago. But eventually I stopped being moved by Ramblin' Man but Midnight Rider still evokes an emotion to this day.
Love what your doing. Next "live" reaction NEEDS to be this love song by Ted Nugent.
Song: Wang Dang Sweet Poontang
Album: Double Live Gonzo
110% guaranteed BANGER
Stormtroopin. That solo is insane.
The 1970 version of the Allman Bros song Please Call Home is a spine tingling call and response between Greg and Duane. Haunting.
Great song! 9.7
Now for a 9.8 song “Melissa”
... *Random Recommendation : Styx “Man In The Wilderness”
Allman Bro's Band. An American Treasure. My heart ached when Greg passed. That voice is so perfect for this classic southern rock.
Fuggin love this song. Allman brothers are great.
Listen to Blue Sky by Allman Brother’s.
One of the best solo’s you’ll ever hear. Besides
Birdsong live 08/27/72 by Grateful Dead
@Pony Boy
Thanks man! I’m not sure id we’d do a video for that Grateful Dead clip only bc nobody else has really asked for it BUT if you shoot us a message on Facebook or instagram I’ll personally watch it and give you a thoughtful response to it! 😁
Andy & Alex sounds like a very generous offer & yeah haha ive garnered almost no support for it 😂so Ill take your offer! Hoping you’ll be very honest with your critique!
Andy & Alex The grateful dead are the greatest hippie band of all time. You HAVE to check them out. maybe start with their biggest song “Touch of grey.” peace guys ✌️ ☮️
Hey! Congrats! It's been a long haul. I've been with ya, so I know. Lol Good Men, Andy & Alex. ;)
Lisa W ahhhh thank you! You are my one longtime supporter! Thank you so much for supporting the request, i may have given up a long time ago if it werent for you! :))
Caught them at a small venue unfortunately Duane died 12 days later. I’m 73 been to many many shows. I think they were the best
Try Soulshine. The song writing in this song is beautiful. Peace!
Excellent choice boys! If you like this, try listening to Statesboro Blues. My personal favorite Allman Brothers song.
This song was so good in the Devil's Rejects movie, you should check it out. Now you need to getcha some more Rush!!!
It was perfect in that movie!!
One of the best live southern rock bands, ever. Live at the Fillmore East. Statesboro Blues and Stormy Monday.
Whether you react to it or not, you have to listen to Greg Allman's version of Midnight Rider off his "Laid back" album as a solo artist. It's a completely different arrangement...haunting and excellent
Completely agree! Laid back is still my favorite album of all time.
Statesboro Blues, Stormy Monday, pretty much Anything from the Live at the Filmore East album. (Duane Allman was still alive playing amazing slide guitar)
Thumbs up for the watermelon shirt. Thumbs down for the Dave Matthews.
hehe...agreed! :-)
well, that's just, like, your opinion man.
Re: Dave Matthews Band. "Under the Table and Dreaming" was a worthy album, and I saw and really enjoyed the band twice on that tour. Then it was all downhill from there. Sigh!
@@ronforeman2556 about the only thing the Dave Mathews Band did that I kinda liked was that song :"Crash" that the FCC forbid radio stations from playing a while after 9/11.
This song has such a simple, repetative rhythmn guitiar hook that is incredible earworm.
