The Allman Brothers Band - Statesboro Blues (REACTION)

[@beverlycobb724]

I actually got to meet Gregg Allman one night at work. I was a night auditor. Three am he comes walking through the lobby with his tiny dog. I called out Hey Gregg, How's it going...He stopped turned, broke into a huge grin, said Hey Baby! And walked over to the desk, skook my hand, talked a bit. I asked him for his script, which he gave gladly. It reads ABB 'To Shawn, Love and Boogie. Gregg Allman. (He drew a heart for the dot in the i of boogie). He seemed down the earth and not stuck up and snooty. We actually have the same Birthday, althoughhe was 10 years older. 😎

The Allman Brothers "Live At Filmore East" (1971) is one of those album sets that you just put them on and let it all rip in one sitting. Yes, it is indeed that great and legendary.

What is ironic for all the grade A songs on their debut album it really did not take off.It wasn't until the Filmore live album came out that launched their popularity.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

@@1bigrowdy That “Hey Jude” was a wonderful track. You’re right about that. Eric Clapton said it was one of the three times in his life, or something like that, that he had to pull the car over and figure out who was playing the guitar. Supposedly, Duane had to convince Pickett that it would work. I would’ve loved to hear him play with Otis Redding!

Saw the Allman Brothers 4 times in the early 70's. Twice, when Duane was still alive. No band sounded better live.

Statesboro is where the Georgia State Penitentiary is. Duane Allman plays all the slide guitar. Dickey Betts learned to play slide after Duane was killed in a motorcycle crash at the ripe old age of 24. Bassist Berry Oakley died a year later also on a motorcycle in nearly the same spot. You should listen to the whole album. This is the first track. Thanks!

Yup, both died a few miles from me in Macon not far from where they lived which is now the Allman Brothers Big House Museum!

Redisville is where the State Penitentiary is Located, Statesboro is my hometown The song is originally by Blind Willie McTel a Black Blues singer from the 1920’s who lived in Statesboro, Georgia. We have a college here Georgia Southern , Gregg met a girl that was going to college here back in the late sixties when they were just starting the band They played a concert here and he was dating this girl and she broke off the relationship

Duane on the slide, (first solo and third solo in the left ear), Dickie (2nd solo, right ear). Bass player, Berry Oakley. Statesboro is just off I-24 between Macon and Savannah, GA. Blind Willie McTell wrote it in 1928. Another great version of the song is from Taj Mahal, another great blues artists. Saw the Allman Brothers at an outdoor concert in St. Paul, MN summer of 1971 a couple months before Duane died. Played a LONG set, great concert.

I saw The Allman Brothers with Little Feat and they brought the place into a frenzy doing a three song "Encore" with both bands together..... "Melisa"... "Whipin Post"... "Dixie Chicken" It was awesome. One of my favorites in over 300 rock concerts.

Statesboro Blues" was written and originally recorded by the great Blind Willie McTell. But few can get the amazing sound with a Gibson Les Paul and Marshall amps, and can drop jaws sound with guitarists like Dickey Betts and the slide guitar of the late, great Duane Allman. Add the vocals of the swampy blues of Gregg Allman, and you've got another amazing blues tune. The Allman Brothers were unique then and still are today. Thanks for the amazing reactions you've given us today. As always, it is Top Shelve.

So this was the first song that Duane learn how to play on the slide he was sick actually yeah he was sick and Greg had brought him a bottle of medicine and the Taj mahal album that had Statesboro blues on it Duane emptied All the pills out and started listening to the album and he used the pill bottle which was made out of glass as as his slide hence why alot of slide players use the glass bottle as their slide you have to put into perspective that Duane only played guitar for 10 years he only played slide guitar for 3 years to do so much in such little time imagine what the brothers would sound like if you hadn't died

Barry Oakley was a beast! He was also the uncredited orchestra leader during shows! As you can tell he held all that together, every note was deliberate🔥🤘✌ out bros!

[@sjd5750]

I saw them for the first time when I was 14 (turned 15 when the clock struck 12, and they were still jamming!) It was an unofficial - non scheduled concert date for the up-coming album, Eat A Peach. The first concert without Duane. Berry was on bass...It was off the charts!..I think they were trying to prove to everyone, and mostly themselves, that they could still go on without their leader, and they lit the place up for over 3 hours! I'll never forget it..Hofstra Univ., Long Island, NY..April 9, 1972.

It's true that Gregg Allman had a voice like none other. He recorded an album called "Laid Back" shortly after Duane & Berry's death. He took it on the road. And I was so fortunate to have been in Macon, GA for opening night. The live album is from Carnegie Hall. I guarantee if you want to hear what he could do vocally, I'd start with "Turn On Your Lovelight."

Great choice! ABB an absolute favorite. Fillmore East album is hands down the best live album ever produced. Have seen ABB in every incarnation of the band. Amazing every time. I still say Duane’s soul lives on in Derek Trucks! Bass player is Berry Oakley. Died in motorcycle crash about a year after Duane, not too far from where Duane had his crash.

[@clifton8929]

Statesboro is in Georgia - Blind Willie McTell release his version in 1928. Gregg Allman loved Blind Willie McTell.

The opening slide guitar was Duane. When you hear a slide guitar from this era of the Allman Brothers it's always Duane. The Bass player is Berry Oakley. He was killed in a motorcycle accident just like Duane, almost a year to the day apart. Statesboro is in Georgia.

[@richardwitty3666]

The Allmans would nearly always open with Statesboro Blues. It was high energy from the first note and kept it up with different flavors of blues and jazz like jamming, often for 4 hour sets. Dwayne was blissed out playing. When he got going he had this enormous grin and was standing on his tippee toes. I saw them the next time they played at the Fillmore (about three months later), for their late show that started at 1:00 am. When they were finished and we left the theator, it was dawn, and glowing.

It was not unusual for this band to open up with Statesboro Blues as it was always a guarantee to get the crowd jumping. Live at the Filmore is considered one of the best live albums of all time in the rock/blues genre. I believe the band as a whole was at thier apex when this record was made. I surely do agree with you, Greg Allmans voice was absolutely AMAZING on this record! RIP Duane, Berry, Butch and Greg. So glad I got to see this band during their farewell tour 8 years ago.They were great, Warren Haynes is a beast of talent and I really enjoyed the two drummers and Derek Trucks ripping that slide up and Gregs voice sounded very good as well. Was disappointed that they did not converse with the crowd very much, all business. Still, I am grateful I got to see them as I have been a faithful since the 70s.

Berry Oakley was originally a lead guitarist who learned the bass in order to get in the band of a touring name artist so he brought the sensibilities and techniques of a lead player to his bass playing in much the same way that being trained classically on the cello was crucial to Jack Bruce's bass playing with the Cream that made them so successful as a power trio.

[@tommythompson9565]

Though a teen of the 70's, I haven't seen many concerts. But the ones I have seen have all been great. My girlfriend and I saw Greg Allman sometime in the 90's. Blew us and the audience away. The concert was in a relatively small arena. Talk about volume! Whew! But we loved it. Greg's voice was impeccable. Strong and right on key throughout. If you haven't heard Greg's song "I'm No Angel" , do yourselves a favor and check it out. "Blues scale " ?? Music ignoramus here. But I think I get what y'all are referring to, based on the context.

So from the Fillmore concerts they did a number called 'Mountain Jam', that starts right at the end of whipping post30+ minutes with a drum solo with the2 drummers and a bass solo by the late great Berry Oakley. Check it out some time. Of course soaring solos from Duane and Dickey.

[@John_Chu]

Although Blind Willie McTell was the originator of this song, I believe The Allmans were most inspired or influenced by the more recent (1968) recording by Taj Mahal that feaured the slide guitar mastery of Jesse Ed Davis --perhaps the greatest Native American guitarist of all time. Davis played with everybody, most notably Jackson Browne, but died young due to, of course, drug abuse. He never got his flowers. But, everyone from George Harrison to Eric Clapton to Jimmy Page were big admirers of his skills.

Saw AB multiple times. The best was in Cleveland, had 3rd row. 2-bikers in the 2nd row almost right in front of me, got in to a fight during Melissa. The show stopped. Bouncers we’re afraid to break it up. The AB were cheering it on. Eventually they were escorted out. During intermission the bikers were buying each other drinks and were allowed back in. Greg Allman recognized them and had them stand up to recognize them. It was the craziest thing I’d ever seen at a concert.

[@thomgarza]

Trivia- It was Duane Allman who convinced Wilson Pickett to record "Hey Jude" . WIlson's version hit it big in the U.K. where a up and coming Guitarist heard the R&B version and at the end of the song one could hear a guitar riff in the background. The British Guitarist was Clapton and when he asked who was playing guitar as a studio musician on Pickett's recording, Clapton was told it was some guy known as " Sky Dog". Clapton would later come unannounced to an Allman Bros. performance and sit at stage front to listen to Duane Allman play. When Duane saw Clapton on the front line he almost lost his train of thought, mid song. The relationship would grow and Duane would join Eric on many recordings.

[@EricGordon-j2s]
