The Allman Brothers Band - Soulshine (REACTION)

[@markknebel8923]

Duane died in 1971 in a motorcycle accident in Macon Georgia. A year later in November 1972,their bass player Berry Oakley also died in a motorcycle accident a block away from where Duane died. They had several guitar players over the years Dickie Betts played with them until about 2000. The last 2 guitarist until their end were Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes, who are both great guitarists.

[@anthonygiordano8237]

Warren is terrific..always a treat

[@marielaveau5321]

I've made it clear to my family and friends that when I leave this world, this song is to be played at my funeral. If it's not I'ma haunt everybody responsible. 😂🤘✌️❤️

[@G_Demolished]

This and Brain Damage / Eclipse by Pink Floyd.

[@shawnj1966]

Handsome Jack, will be happy to see you! LOL! Seriously though, great choice!

[@chopperdeath]

hahaha! well said.

[@ZChoate]

Allman Brothers are for my money, lb for lb greatest band of all time. And they've produced/featured four of the greatest guitarists of all time as regulars in the band. Duane Allman, Derek Trucks, Dickie Betts, and Warren Haynes. Man I love this band.

[@holysmokes5817]

Greg Allman, what a voice..Yes, Sunday afternoon. Cheers! 🍄🌲🍄✨💥🌈

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

I'm so sorry that you lost a friend. I only hope that this song lifts your spirits for a bit.

[@AirplayBeats]

Thank you so much!!

[@thorzzz1z]

I joined the Air Force because of the Allman Brothers, I had just graduated high School in 1980, and had tickets to their concert, my boss at Wendy's called me to work, said nope,going to hear Whipping post, he said you don't come in your fired, 3 days later I joined the Air Force and stayed in for 20 years, best decision I ever made

[@destinyreelly2974]

That is such an American story that I can’t even handle it. Thank you for your service and for your story. Everything is connected. ❤❤❤

[@kennysmith6312]

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do 😊

[@shawnj1966]

In the South, we really are blessed to have had so many great influences to our music! I'm a Southern Rock guy! I love the Blues! Love old Country Music! Love old Rock and Roll! love Soul! Blended all together, it's the greatest sound ever!

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

Southern rock is a mix of rock, country, blues, jazz, r&b, bluegrass, gospel, folk, etc...that's what makes it so engaging and expressive.

[@joeyricefried9621]

The most underrated band in history.

[@lisarainbow9703]

I suspect you guys are going to LOVE The Allman Brothers, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"... The live version from the Fillmore is incredible.

[@AirplayBeats]

I think that will be the next Allman reaction we do.

[@TonyOwens-tv9th]

Just remember gentleman for every loss there is always a new beginning!!!!

[@joy88867]

“If there’s a rock and roll heaven you know they got a hell of a band “ RIP DB

[@janetpope1455]

I had to come listen to you two today after hearing of the passing of Dickey Betts. I love your reactions and am so glad you found this band. I grew up with them next door to my older sisters house in Macon. Jaimoe is the last man standing from the original band.

[@mitchellwaters0706]

Used to ride around in my jeep..on backwoods trails..with my future wife..in the mountains of north and south carolina..in my 20s..listening to this..63 year old former marine from south carolina.

[@wthforever]

Same here, from SC and rode all the backwoods with this music playing

[@MichaelWilson-ql8si]

No sir! You are a Marine! Thank you!

[@deborahrhodes5855]

The Allman Brothers are my favorite band of all time. They became popular when I was in high school! The deaths of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley were devastating. The musicians who came in later were as awesome as the original musicians!

[@swo684]

You gotta check out the Allman brothers one way out live version !!!!

[@747981]

Another suggestion DREAMS, WHIPPING POST, NO WAY OUT, GOOD CLEAN FUN, STORMY MONDAY...the best southern rock ban ever,,

[@jimbeller7948]

The Allman Brothers Band released a box set in the late 80s that got people re-interested in the band. Gregg got the boys back together and were touring again. In 1994, they released their first studio album in years, "Where It All Begins." It was a triumphant return with many great tracks. It's so good that it is rated on par with the ABB's best albums. Check the whole album out.

[@steviemccormick3762]

This one gets you right where you live !!!! ✌✌✌

[@mylifeinGA]

The guitarists on this song are Dickey Betts and Warren Haynes. Haynes is also the author of this song. If you guys are enjoying the Allman Brothers, you should also try Haynes’s other band, Government Mule. If the two drummer thing impresses you, also try out the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Guitarist Derek Trucks was a member of the Allman Brothers from 1999 - 2014 and was also Allman drummer Butch Trucks’s nephew. Widely considered to be the best living guitarist, Derek Trucks has, more than anyone else carried on the spirit of the Allman Brothers with Tedeschi Trucks Band. It also features his wife, Susan Tedeschi, Whois an amazing vocalist as well as two drummers. Also, you have to do the Grateful Dead. The Allmans and the Dead were two sides of the same coin.

[@andyo3689]

Tedeschi Trucks Band is BADASS. They are also contemporary a modern group that knows how to play the music of back then

[@sblair6362]

Gregg & Haynes together wrote this touching tune ❤

[@mylifeinGA]

@@sblair6362 that’s not accurate. Warren wrote Soulshine in the 80s while he was a staff songwriter in Nashville. This was before he was associated with Gregg. It was Gregg’s suggestion the Allman Brothers record it though. He had heard Larry NcCay’s version, liked it a lot, and thought it would be a good fit for the ABB.

[@TerryKrysinski]

@@andyo3689 People tend to forget that Tedeschi is a killer guitarist as well as vocalist. She just steps back with the TDB most times because of (husband) Derek's talent level. T

[@TR-yi8up]

The version of this Govt Mule’s live Album ‘With a Little Help From My Friends’ is the best version of this I’ve ever heard. Worth checking out that version

[@bryansimmons4550]

"Soulshine" was the nickname that Warren's Dad had given him. The mellow guitar here is played by Warren, who wrote the song.

[@youropionmattersnot]

Warren is awesome.

[@jimcole9751]

You guys really need to get into... at the Filmore East to hear Duane. ...this is Warren Hanes Who wrote the song on guitar and Dickie Betts a founding member on the other guitar. This is 1990s Incarnation of band where Duane passed away in 1971.... There is a number of different incarnations of the band And all of them are good.

[@kurtsaxton823]

It's Warren Hayes and Dickey Betts on guitars. Duane Allman had long since passed away.

[@toddmichelfelder3417]

This song was written by Warren Haynes. You need to check him out with his band Government Mule. There is also a great video of Warren sitting in with the Dave Mathew’s Band in Central Park playing Noel Young’s tune Cortez the Killer. You can’t go wrong with any version of the Allman Brothers..

[@bizzarrosupermann3153]

Sad about your friend. Prayers. Wonderful song guys! Great choice. You're talking Southern Rock, Tenn, Fla. and the Tres Hombres from Texas. Rock on Bro's you rolling down that highway 41!

[@michaeljohns3445]

If you want to hear some good Southern Rock check out some Marshall Tucker Band

[@conradhall9140]

The Altman Bros. we're the real deal. Loved the blues. I got to see them twice, so good ❤️✌🏼☯️

[@frankiemanning1743]

I know yall are liking the southern rock. Take a listen to The Lynyrd Skynyrd band. Freebird live from Oakland in 1977 or Knebworth in '76. You will be blown away. I'm enjoying the videos. Thank you for posting

[@pb68slab18]

I can imagine Gregg walking into a deep Southern Baptist Church on a Sunday morning, or during a funeral, and asking the organist if he could play something, and belt this one out!

[@Reddogg57-w5k]

Well the original members of the are all together hallelujah peace and love

[@andyo3689]

Duane was deceased by the time this came out. Dicky Betts was one of the original guitarists along with Duane. The other guitarist is Warren Haynes

[@DrTramp-uu1hh]

I've always thought that this would be an awesome song for a really good gospel choir to sing.

[@zebjohnson5580]

Duane Allman had passed away the two guitarists are Dickey Betts and Warren Haynes who wrote this song .

[@jskit92380]

My condolences for your loss. The Allman Brothers Band will help you forget for awhile. ☮🖤🤘

Much respect guys for being open minded enough to explore different genres of music and seeing that it can be great no matter what your community says about it. These bands back in the day were real musicians and not studio creations. Glad I found your channel!

[@dangabbert3944]

This came out in 1994, so the two guitarists were Dicky Betts and Warren Haynes. Haynes wrote this song .

[@brianbelle8238]

Dickie betts is the other guitarist and he sings a lot of the allman brothers music as well.

[@randygabbert7831]

The Allman Brothers the godfathers of southern rock, but they always remained blues centric with a rock feel!

Hey guys, I love seeing how much you love having your mind blown by insanely incredible old music rooted in the blues and soul. How about trying on some blue eyed soul from the mid 60s. The Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Got That Love’n Feeling.”

[@pb68slab18]

Gotta check "Nobody Knows'' off of ''An Evening with The Allman Brothers Band First Set" , If you liked then with 2 drummers, you'll love them with 3!

[@hippiejoe969]

Gentlemen sorry to hear about your friend, I know all to well. Allman Brothers Band were together from 69 to 2014 45 years Gregg Allman, one of the most soulful voices in rock and blues Dickey Betts original Guitarist along with leader Duane Allman also sings several songs which are also very good such as Crazy Love-Blue Sky for example. Soulshine was written Warren Haynes who joined AAB and was active Guitarist for last 25 years For more Gregg singing check out Statesboro Blues. And Whipping Post which is a must. Several other fantastic southern rock bands to jam with. PEACE

[@dannymoore6886]

Technical note. The picture of the band shown is not the same band who wrote and played this song. The picture shows the original ABB before 1971 when Skydog and Berry were still alive. Soulshine was written in 1994 by Lead guitarist Warren Haynes and played by him. Dickie Betts was probably the second guitarist.

[@ThaKunzlermichael]

Thank You two. Best to keep active, keep moving and you guys honored your friend through your review. I know your friend is smiling over this.

Before his passing, Duane went on to work with legendary jazz flautist Herbie Mann and many other artists. My condolences Gentlemen.

[@AirplayBeats]

Thank you so much.

[@mikefannon6994]

The story I've heard is that Herbie Mann was on his apartment balcony listening to the Allman Brothers playing in NYC's Central Park, rushed down to meet Duane, asked him to play on his next album.

Just watched " Aint wastin Time" I love Soulshine too.

[@gleffersjr6855]

I'm very sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for the reaction and I'm very glad that this one seemed to lift your spirits. A couple of uplifting songs from the original version of the ABB that I really think you'd appreciate are "Revival" and "Blue Sky". The topper for me is "Jessica". None of these are overtly religious, but to me they are definitely spiritual and lift me up every time I hear them. BTW, the guitarists in this studio version of the song are Dickey Betts, an original member, and Warren Haynes, who joined the band in 1989. Hang in there guys.

[@lisarainbow9703]

I was going to suggest, "Revival" as well. It's definitely a spirit-lifter...✌
