“Please don’t confront me with my failures. I’m aware of them.”. That’s a masterpiece of words.
OMG!
11 words = infinite complexity.
My life story.......
@@johnhamilton4677 Everyones life story... :)
I was so lucky to be alive during this era..
After 44 years, I still do not get tired of his voice.....He is still King!!
I heard he liked to take it up the ass.
Gregg's version is better than Jackson's
Maybe.
Jackson Brown and Gregg Allman are both American music treasures.
Both so under rated...
"Please don't confront me with my failures, I'm aware of them.." what a line 💔
SERIOUSLY...MY FRIEND
for your soul, love all, big
ABSOLUTELY ❣
This line makes me cry.
@@lorigage1361 your not the only one Lori, love all, big
Genius. Miss him a lot. Jackson Brown wrote it, Greg Allman perfected it.
I agree. I love Jackson Brown, but Gregg brought the song out to an entirely new level. He's always owned it in my eyes.
My heart aches realizing how great our music from the 60's and 70's was and seeing these photos from our heroes from back then. What a time.
2023 still listrening to all their songs.
When you grow up with the best and you look for a healing song and it pops up you know there's an 😇 looking down on you.
I first heard 'Laid Back' sleeping on the couch of my grandmother's house in Liverpool,England in 1975. My father had recently died, and my mother who was only 39 at the time of his death, needed to get away from all the sadness of the post-funeral period, decided to visit relatives on the other side of the world in Australia. Well I was a bit lost myself, at 16 years old,but Gregg helped fill the void, and support me through that difficult time, and I have always come back to his achingly beautiful songs throughout my life. Rest in peace Southern Gentleman,you'll never know what your music meant to me.
I'm glad Gregg's songs helped you through a difficult time. I've found that music has helped me through many difficult times in my life. I wish you a life filled with musical melodies.
I lost my daughter recently and this song is the only one I have found to assist.....
What beautiful comments here. My Brothers headstone has The Road Goes On Forever inscribed on it. I'm grateful for all those shows I experienced with him all the way up until the beginning ❤❤
@@rhondalong942 Thanks so much.
@@philholdbrooks3737 I'm so very sorry for you. I hope comfort comes to you in the sweet memories of your precious daughter.
The words to this song can crush your spirit. And can lift you up to be a better human being. Great song.🙏
+ Chris Keilison. Better thank Jackson Browne my man.
55 and just discovering Gregg Allman.What a talent. Sorry I didn't pay much attention to his music in my youth. but man I man I enjoy this song. RIP Gregg.
Better late than never...
@@KevinKerwin You can say that again! I'm in my sixties and only noticed him some months ago! what a talent, I'm catching up big time😊
& i presume you will for the rest of your time on this beautiful earth of ours i hope you do ❤
You got ripped off my dear! I was listening to Allman brothers at the age of 13, thanks to my older sister.
@@roslynnmemme86343:51 3:52
Such a beautiful artist. Humble and kind. Great in concert. You are sorely missed.
For me.... there will never be another voice that Comforts my soul the way Gregg Allman did !!
Amen
It sounds corny but the ABB changed the course of my life. When Gregg passed away, I was at a cook out w a lot of friends. I went in a room all alone and cried. I’ve never done that w any artist. Hell, I’ve had family that left us and I never cried. That day I cried.
Hell, I cried when Duane died. What fabulous talents those Brothers were.
i cried when i heard that stevie ray vaughn died. i heard it on the radio driving down the road.
@@moonlightmile70s96 me too...driving to class at Kent State University. Heard the news on the radio. Cried like I lost a friend. Turns out I did.
As much as a really love his music, some of his songs touch me so deeply I try not to listen to them a lot because they make me cry. I have over 45 songs by mostly him, and the Allman Brothers in my iTunes library. I love him so much!!
BW Wells proves you have a soul that runs deep...something just has to be soul wrenching to bring it to the forefront...🇨🇦🇨🇦
This is the best vocal performance I have listened to, in forty years of careful listening to popular music. It is straight up sterling.
Gregg Allman has 1 of, if THE MOST heartfelt soulful voice I've ever heard...BAR NONE, RED, YELLOW, BLACK OR WHITE
Sterling would be correct! Ty Gregg.
Yes.
First time I saw The Allman Brothers play was in Warner Robbins AFB, in 1969, in a airplane hanger.
I was 13 and was flipping out because they were so amazing!
I have been a lifelong fan since then!
The first time I saw the Allman Brothers in Burlington, Vt, blew me away n still does! RIp Mr
Gregg Allman, always will miss u
My late husband turned onto him and just Love his music he Anouther man and one of the greatest song writers singer of our time. RIP Mr Greg Allman
That last line, "please don't confront me with my failures... I'm aware of them." Guts me every time
.
ME too, I know my failures, I don't know why people throw in your face! I know, ok... actually they have been failures too at sometime, but forget about their failures.. shut up already, geeZ! wtf! nobody is perfect!
+ramajama32 Pretty heavy lyrics for a sixteen year old boy.What failures would someone that age.
susan colby
It hits hard every time I hear it too.
Gregg didn't write "These Days". Jackson Browne did. It still fits Gregg.
I love Gregg's rendition of Jackson Browne's song, he changed the lyrics some to fit the way Gregg was feeling, and it's beautiful..
Awsome. I've only heard David Allen coe's rendition of this song till today. Didn't know it was a Jackson brown original!
@@Unholcannoli760 The song has been covered by some 50 artists. Gregg's is the best. See Elliott Smith and Saint Vincent.
I only knew the Jackson Browne version of the song. Jackson wrote it but Gregg recorded it before Jackson did. Jackson says that when he recorded it he "tried to sing it like Gregg did but..."
All of the lyrics are in Jackson's original version.Gregg took sections of the song and digested it
"I don't do that much talking these days."-RIP Gregg. Thanks for everything.
Thank you Gregg
NEITHER DO I ANYMORE. ? CAN'T. TO MUCH PAIN
@@Elaine-ce5vp I stand with you. Hard to get up anymore.
Hard to believe Jackson Brown wrote this tune at 16 years of age , amazing !
wow
Jackson Browns version brings tears to my eyes. A song from the perspective of an older person written by a guy only in the middle of puberty
Siscokidd that’s what I said. Brilliant
Jackson is considerd by some to be a poet, especially in his early years, the same way that Dylan was. I personally think that Jackson could touch base and be more grounded with an audience than Dylan, but Dylan was in a world all of his own with no competitors and he was almost a decade earlier than Jackson. You said it so well, stretch54 about the perspective of an an older person , written by a mere boy.
@@debbiedavis5346 and thank you my love, no disrespect, lovers think alike
I took my nephew to see Gregg Allman a year before his death, he was with his band and they were great, the next month we went to see Dr John at the same venue in Kansas City, and he was fantastic, they were both gone within a year, I am so glad that I introduced my nephew to these great artists
Im 62 and just discovered him....love him ❤uk 🇬🇧 ❤
One of the greatest songs ever, by one of the coolest and most talented dudes ever.
I'll be listening to Greg's music til i die.
Nobody sings this song like Gregg Allman. Been listening to this since my teen years.
RIP to one of the greatest voices we've ever known.
Freaking amazing that a 16 y/o Jackson Browne wrote these lyrics
JB is our best songwriter. "I look for the friends I used to turn to. Looking into their eyes I see them running too." From, Running on Empty. The song perfectly captured the letdown decade that was the 1970s. Peace did not prevail even in Vietnam, love did not conquer hate, generosity did not supplant greed.
"please don't confront me about my failures, i'm aware of them"
one of the best line's EVER!
A timeless, soulful, irreplaceable voice. RIP Greg.
🥂❤
.
Gregg's voice is the epitome of the blues. It's like taking a quaylude and putting it on vinyl.
Amen amen amen !👍🏻🙏✌🏻🎸😎
You got that right..Like no other in my book.He was one SLAMMING MAN with beautiful music.
Gregg was such a beautiful soul. One of my favorite songs by him.
Rips me up everytime.
What a beautiful song. Thank you Gregg for the music you played together with the Allman Brothers Band for more than 4 decades.
Saw Jackson Browne 2 yrs ago , talked so fondly of Greg
and was fantastic !
Great music lives on forever.....
I really hope so.
@@CarlWalker-2006 WE KEEP IT GOING....XXOO
What a lyric. Gregg’s is the best version of a song that was covered by many. He really captures the desolation.
by listening i'm crying for the good old days.....missed them !!
ME TOO, THINGS WERE A LITTLE EASIER THEN NOW...BUT THIS ENGORGED MY HEART, RIPPED INTO THE DEPTHS OF ME, SO TRUE ARE THOSE WORDS, IT HIT HOME.
Oh Gregg, the human soul respects the spirit
I watched him grow from a boy to a man. Such a fine gentleman. You will be missed, thank you for all the memories.
Martha Philips - you should tell us about him.
@@lorigage1361 I first saw greg, Dwayne all of the brothers in 1969. He was just a kid, as anybody of his fans I watched him on the news, talk shows, his marriages, saw him in Louisville every time he came within driving distance. You should read his book. Not my cross to bear, outstanding. Met him in person at the Bellevue in Louisville, such a nice laid back gentleman. He is missed
The Allman Brothers we're a gift from God.
Duane's Guitar playing especially slide ; & Greg's soulful blues singing+ Playing Hammond Organ like church on Sunday !
Brother's ; Thank you for all of that incredible music.
To be that young ;
& truly gifted.
Live at Fillmore East playing in their early 20's .
Peace -
Your music is sadly missed today in this insane world !
God bless ..🙏🙋♂️
@@GaryFox11000 well said. i agree. i miss them both. i don't think there will ever be anyone like Duane and Gregg.
10/22/2019- and still listening. Someone said, don't you listen to new music? NO
Elaine all the best songs have been written and sung.
Elaine ...this is what new music sounds like...
Elaine, stay strong and upright. Been a long road. This song carries on.
3/11/20 and still listening.
I love the music I was partying to in the 70's... still rather listen to the music from back then... what a great time to be young..then...where's the time gone.. I love ya'll peace
Jackson Brown may have wrote this song and at the time would have had no idea he wrote it for Greg to sing, but its "Greg's song" he makes us believe the heart break, the reality and the emotion of our own life. THANK YOU JACKSON THANK YOU GREG.
Right, this is the best vocal performance I have listened to, in 40 years of close listening to popular music. Sterling
Jackson Browne wrote this song when he was 16. Man some folks are born with it. Greg's take is certainly the best.
Greg was my all time favorite vocalist ever since I was 6 years old. Thank you for 51 years, I miss you, RIP.
There music stands alone , timeless forever. Hes with his brother in rockin roll heaven
Jackson Browne wrote this. This is a great version, though.
Amen to that !!!!
Lame comment....rock and roll heaven? Everyone knows rock and roll is the devil's music. Hell has another angel on the way....?
Their
They paved the way for country rock 🎸. I truly love your soul
The dude had "IT"! Just the right kind of smooth southern rock-country-folk tunes that made us all happy, excited, amazed, & feelin' like we too were from Georgia. Gee -- who doesn't like a nice peach with ice cream? Or some peach in your iced tea? I even flew into the Atlanta Airport & appreciated the southern hospitality! We remember Greg & his band as a group that gave us all fine memories ....... lots of love to his family & friends from Robert Cavalier: Beaverton - OR Library; 1/13/19. *
Just WOW! No one better...Ever... Miss this music so much!! LEGEND!
A very good tribute to a great man. He and his music will be missed by all. Rest In Peace,Greg.
Greatest in all ways and missed by more than you could imagine.
Still missed. RIP. This wonderful voice has been with me since I was a kid in 1971.
What a beautiful version of this song I love Dickey Betts on his guitar and I love Gregg Allman My favorite song for ever I miss you Gregg
please don't confront me with my failures, i'm aware of them. this is my prayer. Amen
+Destiny Starr The original lines (from Jackson Browne) are:
"Please don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them."
I think both versions get the message across! :-)
never give up
✌️ Peace Destiny
These two lines are forever sung in my head and sometimes I randomly just sing them out and I can't sing! Absolutely love Laid Back....and Greg....
That voice..the voice that captures hearts, soothes souls, touches places that sometimes brings tears, other times brings euphoria.Gregg Allman is an American icon and we are so very lucky to have had him around for all these years. God bless you Mr Allman, I hope you are blessed as you have blessed us with your musical genius. Does the word 'love' describe all I feel for you ? I think there should be a word that surpasses even 'love' It just doesn't seem enough.
Hey Julia,
I agree...adore is my word. I met him at Sam’s Famous Bar in Daytona back in ‘75. What a sweet, tortured soul that man was. Did you know he was very smart and actually studied music theory and several instruments in college and military school? He was actually very accomplished. I wish I could have been in his life. He always sings about how woman always did him wrong. So sad. I miss him and play his music a lot!
I couldn't have said it better my self . Saw him 34 times . Met him , shyer than me ,but a gentleman . I grieve him today . I actually just got home from a Government mule concert . Biggest disappointment in a while . Hoping at least SoulShine .5 songs . One Rod Stewart and the others I didn't know . EVERYTHING else were instrumental.so sad . Warren certainly lost a fan tonight . 22 year fan club member .saw him at 16 years old .dating my now grandpa hubby at the Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam .. Then about 20 times at Bike Week Daytona . Like I said I grieve him today . If you all don't have his last one "Southern Blood " go buy it tomorrow . You won't be sorry ,but you might shed a few tears .
What a wonderful message Julia S
You have said it.What an incredible man .He'll always have a special something in my heart.Could not have done without you..
@@lisamurphy5770one of the most important influence on my life....a big southern man can be chill but yet shoot the bastards shooting at me
One of my favorite songs. Written by Jackson Browne when he was only 16 years old. Thank you.
Damn I'm getting old. Remember 69 the first time I heard the brothers. I was 15 still listening.
Southern music will never be the same
Wow man..what beautiful homage you pay to an old friend...love it..celebrating life..what its all about...all the experience...lifetime in the road...loves and losses...I never want to lose my brothers...bless you Duane and Gregg...The Alman Brothers...
As I'm writing this I have tears in my eyes. This has been a very sad may. Two of the greatest rock singers of all time have passed on. GregAllman and Chris Cornell. Two of my favorites. Their music was real and solid. They spoke to me in ways most people can't. Today is my birthday and my hero is gone. Farewell guys you will never be forgotten. You will live on forever threw all the great music and memories you left us.
wonderful tribute ....been a fan and saw the brothers several times before the passing of Duane and Berry. Greg's laid back lp always was a go to for me when I was down.... these days and queen of hearts being stand outs on the release. thanks for the post and excellent pics & tune !
With deepest Gratitude for your music. I feel it in my Soul. Rest in Paradise.
London, Paris, Paradise 2019
I have so much gratitude for his music. So talented.
Thank you for sharing this sweet version of one of my favorite Jackson Browne songs. That slide show brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. Gregg Allman is without peer...
I have always loved Gregg Allman's voice. There is vulnerability that comes as an additional bonus.
God l miss The Allman Brothers Band concerts. Doesn't seem like summer. RIP Gregg. Thanks for the awesome music.
Rest in peace, Gregg... Thank you for all the great music that will live on always~
Gregg Allman & Jackson Brown actually shared an apartment in Los Angeles around 1968. This was just before Gregg was summonded back to Jacksonville to hear the new band his brother Duane was putting together, which of course, became the legendary Allman Brothers Band.
Greg Crabtree Whoa. I did not know that. Thank you for the info. I love them both so much. RIP Gregg.. 💔❤
Greg Allman was an angel who visited earth and gave us such eternal beautiful music for the ages.
Very well-said Ms.Stacey Chait...tried to convey same in all his music Gregg Allman!!!
Crabtree, it is judy girl and I would know you anywhere...Loving what you write.......
He's brilliant.
Yes: Saw them..But the fabric of my life at now 65..but always……Forever young ..😘😘☮️☮️☮️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
These Days Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days, these days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do, for you
And all the times I had a chance to
[Verse 2]
Well I've had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days
These days, these days I seem to be afraid
Live the life that I've made in song
But it's just that I have been losing, so long
[Chorus]
These days I sit on the corner stones
Count the time in quarter tones 'til ten, my friend
And now I believe I want to see myself again
[Steel guitar solo - Scott Boyer]
[Outro]
These days I sit on the corner stones
Count the time in quarter tones till ten, my friend
Please don't confront me with my failure
I'm aware of them
So incredible. Yes this was the music of my lifetime, my youth. Have many of their albums. Put them on my old turntable and cry.
Thank you for writing the lyrics down🎸🎸🎸🎸
God Bless you Gregg Allman. I so thank you for all the wonderful music you have given us. you are now in Heaven and at peace. your music will carry on forever!!!
Greggs, version Don't confront me with my failures, I'm aware of them. .., says it all for me!
I have that tattoo w a mushroom!
Donna Eller you do know it’s not an Allman song?
Yeah these days fit me to a T
And Jackson wrote that song when he was only 26 years old!! Wisdom
@@thomasdesmond9619 16.
Gregg Allman and Jackson Browne singing “ Melissa” on You Tube together. UNBELIEVABLE Video ❤️😇🙏🥰
Not sure what version of them singing together you've seen, I've seen a couple versions with different edits, but when Browne is at a specific place in the song his voice cracks with emotion, and Gregg catches his eyes and gives him a smile. A very tender moment in a glance. I'll never forget it
Gregg was such a cutie when he was young. So sad he died. The Allman Brothers Band is tied at № 1 on my favorite groups list with The Stones and has been for about 45 years. Such a tragedy losing Duane. Imagine the music they would have made if he'd lived on. Leon Russell was a big loss for me, too. No other passings of rock stars or movie stars ever affected me the way these guys did. Well, Aretha Franklin. Damn it. The world has lost some of its greatest musical voices.
Theres no voice like Greg Allmans. You can really hear the pain in his voice.its the most tallented creative artists that are willing to share their pain for great music & find an outlet for it. Thank u Mr. Allman u will never kno the impact u had on the world.He will sorely be missed.
If you haven't, check out his bio. Lot's of great examples of how he and his brother learned music, explored music genres, etc.
That's 4 Sure!!! You said it well.
That's 4 sure you said it well.
Love Greg Allman. One of the best blues vocalist ever..Loved the photo of Greg & Duane.
It is such a great song! My 3 kids refuse to talk to me and none of the reasons have anything to do with what I have done to them! I am 60 years old and in bad health. And this Allman Brothers song is what will be sent to them some how and I will not be giving any inheritance money to them either. I have outlived my family except my 3 kids ... a daughter who was born Feb. 1982 and two sons born Nov. 7 1988 and April 30 1992. My daughter has 2 children which are my grandchildren that I never see . They are teenagers now. I do not know why my daughter stopped talking to me but my son born in 1992 told me that he and his brother had a problem with his Dad's friend. I took the friend to court but there was no proof !
I just cried,it was so beautiful
I am wiping your tears away.......Remember Greg with a smile.........
The anniversary of his passing a few days ago and Gregory is still timeless!
I just finished reading his book for the 2nd time. I always end up in tears. He was such a warm,sweet man. so talented and humble. He is missed very much but it makes me feel better knowing he's with his entire family in heaven along with Barry Oakley, and Butch Trucks all making beautiful music.
Until we meet again, I'm close to the end, my friends, I'll be thinking of this song when I pass this way again..and all the Happiness I had with my brother's, sister's, Mom, Dad never forgetting the strife, that's part of life that's my Wife ..happiness and the Happiness I'll miss, I guess I'll be fulfilled when they lay me down, I hope there's music where they send me!! That's when I know I'm in Heaven.
Gregg We Were Blessed to have you in Our Lives So Missed Awesome Footage Thank you Mitiz Haston Rest in Peace Gregg♥️
😍
It's hard to watch these videos and not tear up. He was with me all my life.... You're the King of Hearts.
I consider myself blessed to have seen the Allmans and Gregg solo a few times. Georgia is mourning good friend
Amazing song ....thank you
To me this was one of the changing points in my life when I heard Dwayne and Greg Allman, the greatest band of all time!
Duane Allman is the greatest guitarist. "Start playing, wait for it to catch fire, then just let go," Duane Allman to Don Felder of the Eagles.
One of my favorite songs he ever did even if he didin't write it. I play that song on my quitar. Greg has so much meaning in his voice. A real classy musician. and of course the Allman Brothers Band.
I grew up with you mom supported my greg Allman addiction she loved him too she said when I go please play "WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN " and we did so he is a big part of my life sing greg sing
Was hell of ah great ride & gift over the years to listen & grow with Allman's good stuff !
He was my all time favorite player and performer
Best singer of my time
I live in Jacksonville, Florida Greg and Duane lived in a house in Riverside and wrote the song “Whipping Post” there....
and so young to be that good !! My cousin, Red Dog, met them in Jax.
I met Gregg at the Jax Beach Coliseum in 1970. He was playing there. I was 14 he was 20, he was so gorgeous I almost wet my pants. Be in love with him since then.
Love Gregg Allman & Jackson Browne doing this song!
I was lucky enough to see Gregg on his Laid Back tour in, I believe 1974, at the Chicago Auditorium theater. What a great concert.
Sad news today in the music world- Gregg Allman has passed away. Rest in Peace Gregg. We loved your music you gave us. Always a fan of the Allman Brothers.
Absolutely love his voice and this Album is so beautiful, it brings back so many lovely memories. RIP Greg.
Songs crafted in th flames of life's emotional struggle are a river of th happiness of love and the pain of loss flowing together into one.
What a beautiful song. Gregg we realy miss you. Your music is just amazing. R.I.P. my good old friend
when laid back came put boy I ran the grooves down. To me one of the ten best albums ever made. Thanks Gregg, I appreciate all you given.
me too richard
RIP Gregg... finally back with SkyDog
I finally get what this song means at 21 years old. Gregg is and always will be my favorite. Rest in peace man I love you.
RIP Gregg. Your music is a special part of this world. Miss you a lot.
