Allman Bros. Final Words and Farewell Oct. 29, 2014

The final performance spanned two dates, beginning on Oct. 28, and ending on Oct. 29, and three full sets ending with this at well past 1 a.m. in the morning of Oct. 29, with the song that they first played back in 1969, "Trouble No More" ... and the final bow taken on the anniversary of the death of the beloved Duane Allman who started the band.
May the circle forever remain .... unbroken.

Greatest southern rock band of all time, and right up with all the great bands of any category! RIP Gregg, and thanks for a lifetime of brilliance.

[@Herehear49]

Sorry, that was Little Feat.

[@DH-xm3hc]

@@Herehear49 Little Feat was a fantastic band in the 70's. When Lowell George died, no more Little Feat😥 Even when Duane Allman, and Randy Oaks died Gregg Allman carried the band into the 21st century. So we have to agree to disagree ✌❤🌻 RIP guys 😥 You will always be remembered thru your music and loved by those future generations that will always be lucky enough to discover The Allman Brothers Band on KZbin ❤

I first saw the Allman Bros. band in Love Valley in July 1970... I hadn't heard them before. I became an ABB fan immediately and saw them many times after that. Gregg gave me 2 backstage passes in Williamsburg, Va. and invited me and my wife to sit behind him on stage that night. To this day, I'll never duplicate that feeling. Never before & never since, no matter who, the Allman Brothers Band will remain as the band that started a new genre of music known as Southern Rock. Those were the days...

[@deepgreatfalls9640]

I was blessed enough to be there that night. Pure magic in the air.

[@cowslinger64]

I was privileged to see the Allman Brothers 15 times. IMO, the very best band of musicians in my lifetime. I even managed to turn my dad into a huge fan as well. I miss being able to see them live.. there was just nothing ever quite like them. RIP to those lost.

[@babbalouie3074]

A bit disheartening...no Dickey. No matter the differences that separated them without Dickey's contributions to the band chances are they would have been lost in the dust many years ago. Only Jaimoe and Dickey left. Worst part of getting old is carrying on after the loss of those you care about. R.I.P. Butch, Barry, Greg, and Duane. You will forever live on in our souls.

Putting the needle down for the first time on the Fillmore East album changed my life forever. I ended up picking up the guitar, studying my heart out, and eventually getting a doctorate in music. One of my biggest thrills was seeing Gregg sitting in with another band at a small club in Virginia Beach ca. '77. We sat 6-7 feet away from him and were mesmerized the whole night.

[@18winsagin]

Was it VA Beach VA? Typo probably but looks like ca? I live on the Virginia peninsula.

[@m.a.c.8366]

time and mortality are cruel teachers to the reality we all face, regardless of our talents. We grow to believe falsely our idols will forever be the background music of our lives... and we get used to them being there always with music and inspiration...Greg, Duane, Barry, David,, SRV, Janis, Jimi, Chuck.. the list is endless for here. The closing of the Allman Brothers Band in this video is of great historical significance for us all as well as our children. Their extended families brought messages of togetherness and kinship including all men and women through in their music for these last 40 decades. Humbled here to have witnessed the power of their southern music to unite all those that had a moment to truly listen and inhale.. many heartfelt thanks to ABB... and thanks to Lorri M for providing this video..the circle does remain unbroken.

[@LorriMPhoto]

M.A.C. It was my top notch dream to travel to NYC to the famous Beacon Theater to an ABB pilgrimage. They all made Family out of strangers ... and bound us forevermore ..... I won’t ever forget this night .... nor my years of loving them all and being blessed to weave so much of my life with them thru music and connections. ❤️

[@m.a.c.8366]

super cool experience to see the ABB you related Lorri, that experience has to rate a very close second to births of children and weddings. The deep history of the Beacon theater plus the presence of the ABB surely had to be charged with energy of a higher level. Embarrassed here to relate this but truthing all... my only ticket to see the ABB live here in north Texas about 74' time frame did not end well. we partied thoroughly before heading out, missed the venue by several miles, ooops', into arena finally a bit late to seats...warm up act in full press and closing quickly...and... U/C police swept on our row and escorted us downstairs...BEFORE ABB ever took the stage by minutes.....I've been a die hard follower of ABB since Eat a Peach to this day. Ya'll please rock hard forever but safely...thx again Lorri. though am VERY jealous here of your experience..

[@m.a.c.8366]

Lorri M.. your experience had to be so super cool, hope you filled that digi' card in your camera to the limit for your future reflections, that experience is one that cannot be recreated period you can relate to your grandchildren in those chosen settings grammy' selects... very envious here that you experienced the historic venue as well as ABB in one adventure. So much a very special experience isn't it, peace and comfort from here to you Lorri and all here... rock on.. btw please excuse me for reference to grandchildren.. not trying to bracket your age though thinking on your appreciation for the ABB gives you calendar credit LOL. peace all

Some of the best vocals we've heard from Gregg in this era considering his age/health/etc. Duane is burning a fat one, looking down on them during this song and just smiling.

We’ll never see their like again. But they left us with a legacy of phenomenal memories and music for decades to come.

Gregg inspired so much of my musical life. He is so entrenched in my heart and soul that I bought a Hammond. I will commit the rest of my life to keeping his music alive. I lost my friend when he left this world. I am so sad that he is no longer here.

[@lindaadams4266]

Fitting date to end the ABB. Duane was killed in the motorcycle accident on Oct. 29th, 1971. Gregg was in failing health, it was time. This date was planned, it had to have been, a nod to his brother. He said he never got over losing him... It had to have been an emotional experience for all of them. I wish Dickie Betts could have been a part of this, that's sad. Rest in peace, Gregg, Butch (so very sad that he took his own life, that had to have torn them all to pieces) and the brothers that went before them. Very emotional to watch...Thank you for the music you left behind...

[@LorriMPhoto]

Linda Adams i agree. I have never gotten over the loss of my brother 24 years ago .... nor will I ever. This night was monumental and will forever be one of my favorite memories and experiences. They played until after 1am on the date of Duane’s death. It was intentional. ❤️

I could not have been more elated to see the ABB firing on all cylinders after years thinking they were done. And then they went on for decades more!
