Allman Brothers Band - Warehouse New Orleans - 20 March 1971

1. You Don't Love Me / Soul Serenade / Joy to the World: 0:00
2. Whipping Post / Frère Jacques: 19:35
3. Mountain Jam: 41:04
This is the entire second half of the 20 March 1971 performance at The Warehouse, NOLA. Featuring almost 90 minutes of nonstop, phenomenal rock instrumentation. The band plays 'You Don't Love Me', followed by 'Whipping Post' and then an extended 44 minute long Mountain Jam.
Just 8 days earlier the Allmans had played their famous March 1971 Fillmore East concerts which would be released as the album 'Live at Fillmore East'.

[@hot4ak]

I was there too. As I remember, Quicksilver Messenger Service headlined and ZZ Top opened with The Allmans in the middle. After their set Duane said they would come back if "you'all" wanted. After Quicksilver the crowd started calling for the Allmans and they came back for a HOT set lasting late into the night. I hadn't heard of ZZ Top at the time but remember them being a hard act to follow. They arrived in a van with a rented U-Haul. I'm sure Quicksilver were good but always remembered this as the best Allmans concert ever. I had seem them several times on the "chittlin circuit" around the south. This music still moves me like nothing else. I sometimes find I need some vintage Allmans to make the world right. Long live Duane!

The Warehouse in New Orleans introduced me to music at an early age including The Allman Brothers who I thought were the house band.

[@grorob52]

absolutely I graduated in 1970 and living in New Orleans suburbs we always ventured to the Warehouse. Saw Allmans many times here and city park. ZZ Top was a regular band too Great time to grow up

[@herbierolison7821]

How could two people actually give this phenomenal performance a thumbs down!!! Why don't you just go watch television, or something!!!!

[@daskitten1]

after years of devotion to the greatness that is the Allmans I didn't think my estimate of the band could be raised any higher but this material does just that. positively superhuman & off the charts. my only regret is that Tom Dowd was not there to record it, but I'm sure thankful that German Opera Singer (whoever you are) was. Berry Oakley is to the bass guitar what Duane was to the six string. in this context few other bassists could have kept such a relentless rhythm going while also chasing Duane & Dickey up down & all around. a band like this happens once in a thousand years, if that. i'm glad my time intersected with them.

[@mikebaird8648]

Right On Brother, I couldn't agree more. What you said about Oakley is 100% correct in my opinion. I first saw Duane and the Brothers 49 years ago in 1970. Until this day I'm more hardcore A.B.B. then ever, still living off the early years...

It's not every day that a 66yo man feels lucky to be his age. I was fresh out of h.s. in '68 and was a huge rock guy. I remember first hearing them. What a great time for music.

[@jimrig1]

Walked into their half over concert Feb 28, 1971 Mizzou in Columbia, Mo. Hardly 200 people, all standing in front of the stage. Sunday night, waiting for the black beauties to kick in before all nighter mid term cram. Never ever forget how blown away I was. Fortunate to have seen them all together.

[@okinny1]

I want the last hour and a half of my life back. That way I listen to this again. Musical symbiosis as never before or since.

[@winesource1]

After listen to Whipping Post, i have concluded that they were so tight at this point in their career, clearly they were as Duane use to say, "hitting the note" meaning that they did not have to think about what they were playing, but instead the music just came out as if they were in the "zone" so to speak. I to this day have never heard music like this. I really think they were the best at that time and remain unmatched to this day musically. I never get tired hearing them. Read Skydog.

[@daskitten1]

The Allman Bros. Band was, and is , without doubt the greatest jam band of all time. Between 1969 &1974, I had the pleasure of seeing them 13X, including 4 shows with the Skydog. I saw the first show after Duane's untimely death, on 10/29/71. It was at the Ritz Theatre, in Staten Island NY, Nov 1971, and Dickey Betts showed that he had the chops that night, Playing both guitar parts that night. I saw them 8 more times in the next 3 years and they still remain my favorite band of all times. Thanks for sharing this outstanding music with us. I closed my eyes, & had the same natural high that the ABB always gave me. Thanks, PEACE.

Does anyone realize how incredibly hard it would be to use a syringe (even a glass one) for a slide? Brother Duane was a a damn talented slide player but come on now! Even if Duane was shooting junk, why in the hell would he use a rig onstage for a slide? The man cared way too much about music to do anything that would make his playing suffer... I'm just saying.

I was there that night, along with a crowded house and the heavy scent of Mary Jane in the air. The performance was the most electrifying I saw at The Warehouse in the few years of life it lived.

[@merrillhess5626]

I only got to see the Allman Brothers once, about a year before Duane was killed in the crash. It was at A Warehouse when they lead for Procol Harum. I stood only a few feet from the stage and the sound was fantastic. After the PH set, the ABBs came back on stage to jam with Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green till almost dawn. Imagine three of the world's most expressive guitarists on stage together, feeding off each other's music. To this day it is still the best concert I ever attended. Unfortunately, it was one of the few times in the ABB's early days that the Warehouse staff didn't record the concert. That jam session with Green would be legendary today.

[@GucciTheGlacier]

It's kind of depressing and mind-boggling that people gave some of the best music ever recorded a thumbs down.

[@greenman7612]

I can still remember recording this music in Knoxville, TN in 1974. Four tape decks going, 1 playing and 3 recording. Such fine music! And it is still on those 7" reels. We were so lucky to get those recordings back then. Just listen to Dickey doing the "funeral dirge" in the middle of Whipping Post. Just fantastic. Wonderful music. I need to dig out those reels and ditigize more of them. What a great group. Then we headed Southbound to Macon and Rose Hill to pay our respects.

[@alexhidell8074]

Me too! I saw the ABB several times at the Warehouse, along with many other great bands of the era. The Allmans would often play free the next day in Audubon Park and I hit all of those concerts too. Fate later caused me to move away from NOLA, but I get back for my red beans n'rice, Dixie Beer, and dem buttered erster po'boys whenever I can. Hard to think all this time has passed. Now the Warehouse is long closed and Gregg has recently dissolved the ABB. PS: he lives just down Hwy 17 from me these days and his daughter is a regular performer at Basil's on Wilmington Island.

I saw the Allman Brothers just after Berry Oakley was killed - Dicky was playing both parts, he was the only guitar. I thought (still do) that Duane was behind Dicky reaching around him and playing on the same guitar. Seen Dickey a few times after that and I never saw or heard him play both parts like that. It was like he had four hands and was channeling Duane. Right up there among most memorable experiences of my life to this point......... and I was totally sober........

[@1mikera]

Oh yes, I remember bringing my carpet square to get the free admission and watching the show laying down with my feet against the stage wall. Seen them all at the warehouse, cant decide which was best, but the AB's were always near the top. Other memorable acts were; Yes, Bowie, Deep Purple, The Who, Wishbone Ash, J.Giles, Johnny Winter, Blue Cheer, The Dead, Fleetwood, on and on

[@williammcdonough2291]

I have read a few comments mentioning the carpet squares. Don't know anything about it but made me recall the occasional piece of worn out carpet on the Warehouse floor. The little that was there was soaked in beer and by the smell some urine. You didn't wanna go down in the Warehouse. Would be a good idea to have every one bring a self sticking square and lay it down. Free concert equals free floor. Went there May thru Dec 1975.

My older brother went to the first show and I went to the last show there and my sisters and dad caught some shows too. A couple years after the doors were shut for good in 82 I took a job for a shipping company right next door to the old Warehouse by the Mighty Mississipp and watched it age and crumble til they tore it down.

[@williammcdonough2291]

I went to tech school at Keesler AFB also. Got there first week of May 1975. My best friend from Basic was there also but in a different dorm. While visiting him in his barracks the guy across the hall was looking for a ride to New Orleans to visit his brother. I bought a car as soon as I got there and wanted to see NO anyway. The guy says we can stay at his brother's apt. for a ride. This guy had enlisted in NO and had shared the apt. with his brother who was still there. It just happened to be within a block of the warehouse, which I had honestly never heard of before. Spent many a weekend there until just before Xmas 1975, saw some great shows. We were there when Fleetwood Mac was big and the show was sold out, I had not planned on going in because of that, but there was a small liquor store across from front of warehouse and I just went in to buy booze. I walked in and saw an envelope on the floor and picked it up. It had 3 tickets for FltMac inside. I asked the owner an older black gentleman if anyone had lost anything and he said no, finders keepers. My friend and I went in and gave the third ticket to a girl who was crying because her friends had tickets and she could not get one and would be left alone outside. Did not want to be greedy and sell it which would have been easy and profitable, Karma can be a bitch. Great memories. Thanks for your service.

They started from different regions of the country and their minds (and all us fans) melted in the middle of one trippy concoction. 1st stop for me in the time machine would be Watkins Glen - July 28, 1973 to see both together and add in The Band for good measure.

If it was the Pink Floyd show, the crazy thing was; at the Warehouse, bands always played two sets. Saw all these bands perform alternating sets, BB King and Johnny Winter, Grand Funk and Illinois Speed Press, Ry Cooder and Captain Beefheart, It's a Beautiful Day and Somebody. Canned Heat. I can't remember if the Who played two sets. I remember ZZ Top opening for somebody. Jeff Beck and Mott the Hoople, Yes, so many more. What stamina we had then! There was a glory period at the Warehouse when The Allmans opened for almost everyone and played two sets. I missed Jim Morrison's last USA gig. Hendrix cancelled while we parked in a van outside and drank Southern Comfort til we barfed and the acid kicked in! Never be a time like that again.

Loooong catwalk down to stage. ZZ Top opened for Canned Heat. Naturally most had come (at that point in ZZ's career to see CHeat); CHeat came on about 1am; It seemed like ZZ played for hrs & hrs! I was a Ganja newbie & it was everywhere! Just wondering if I may have been at this short-lived venue? Sure sounds like it, with the 2 set thing. Anyway this young SC White Boi got some kind of fucked up wating on CHeat, who came out (finally) & said,"We are stoned ready to go!" We left several hours later & they were still boogying!

They used to come all the way up to the other end of the Mississippi (MPLS) and play several shows a year. One of the guys actually moved to MPLS. Enjoyed your story very much.

[@GermanOperaSinger]

Sometimes I'm in a Grateful Dead mood but I do prefer the Allman Brothers overall. The Dead were very creative improvisational musicians, but they played much looser than the Allmans; the Dead’s jams were long, wandering and seemingly aimless at times, whereas the Allmans played structured, musically coherent instrumentals, like orchestral pieces. Never a dull moment with the Allmans, but with the Dead sometimes they just seem to drag on for minutes before picking back up again.

[@toddcallison8087]

I've been super Dead most all my life, but I'm just discovering the ABB, or rediscovering them. I had bought a couple of discs in college, but they were studio albums from after Duane's time. It's good music but not, well, the same. I agree ABB can be tighter and more focused than the Dead--they were also more consistent. Sounds like you have listened to a lot of '72 and later Dead. Try '71 Hollywood Palladium, '70 Harper College, and Fillmore West 6-8-70, if you haven't already. For me, '70 was their absolute peak. As you may know, Duane looked up to Jerry, and for good, good reason. Jerry and Robert were prolific, and magnificent, songwriters.

Been searching out live concerts from 70's super-groups with rather limited success, except for the Grateful You Know Whom. They, at least, were prescient enough to allow taping and indeed made oodles of soundboard copies. As far as Jerry is concerned, he was a musician not just a guitarist. He wrote classic songs and at least in '77 could mesmerize an entire stadium with an emotional vocal performance. Lots of variability in their set list also. Duane was a beast though.

@@williammcdonough2291- I wonder who Juanita was? If the kids ever re-discover Donovan, they are in for a treat. Back in the late 80s, I jammed with a coworker at Shell R&D, George, who had a gorgeous '56 Les Paul Custom Blacktop and a buddy of his, Wayout, who had a bass axe (I can't really say he "played" bass because he normally went through a Big Gulp of vodka per session, which evidently made him forget what frets were for just after tuning up), and another friend well met via the bulletin board at Rockin' Robin Guitars, John, who was in a couple bands during CBGB's heyday, and who had gigged with Johnny Thunders, among others. (we later got together with a younger bass player who could write some damned good tunes, and formed the Love Noodles. Originals, some punk covers, 60s garage, and some Rockabilly). We just did covers, and only gigged twice. We did a speeded-up cover of the Cream's cover of "Crossroads" (and George NAILED Clapton's solo), a speeded-up "I Saw Her Standing There" (my hi-hat arm burned after that one), "Money", "Last Train To Clarksville" (Monkees), Humble Pie's "I Don't Need No Doctor", CCR's "Green River", the Count Five's "Psychotic Reaction", "Strychnine" by the Sonics, an early ZZ Top tune, and a cover of the Standells' cover of "SUNSHINE SUPERMAN". I got to use my cowbell.

God, you have got to love this electrifying and magical performs by The Brothers at the Warehouse. Was there a venue that was more fun? Oh, I miss it so!!

[@travissmith9451]

Forest George?

[@ireneruthfox]

Greatest live Band I ever seen.....And i seen them all. When the Brothers were on they could not be touched. I was lucky to see them many times. I was crazy for this Band. Duane was the greatest all around guitarist there was. Slide, lead, comping. He could do it all. I light up a room.

[@cayogator]

I saw them in Monroe La when they were the Allman Joys !! Saddle and Spur Bar and then 6 other times as brothers and single! lol

[@danielcombs3207]

Hey Tom , you got that right. He was a great guitarist, bandleader, improviser and the heart of the ABB. And he could definitely light up the place. With Dickey Betts he could kick that music into overdrive. When they played around each other it definitely made chills go down your spine. If you ever make it to Macon, check out The Big House and a short distance away is Rose Hill Cemetary.I've been there twice to pay my respects.

Is it possible to post the amazing first part of this show with "Statesboro Blues", "Trouble No More", Hoochie Coochie Man", "Revival" and all that other great stuff? Thanks.

I am blown away that this recording exists!

Eat a Peach is my theme song from college 1972 [ From TS Eliot " Do I dare to eat a peach? "

Duane is a saint and my higher power

[@VirtualWoodshed]

thanks so much for posting this. Really interesting to hear the Chuck Berry jam at about the 57:00 mark that goes right into Duane's "bird sounds." Never heard 'em do that before. Dickey really nailed a couple of those Chuck licks too! Interesting percussion in the drum solo that's not on Fillmore East, and also Gregg playing the Rhodes on Whipping Post. Fascinating stuff!

[@rafberu]

and how is the LIFE after this and without this anymore ?

[@malcolmcarriere4811]

The Warehouse The place to be, and the greatest Band the Allman Brothers Band. Rock out there a lot. Seen some great show there from 71 on. the warehouse face book check it out.

[@456subway]

There's no "Soul Serenade" in this one, I know there is a video on KZbin that does have it. Anyway, some of their best guitar playing here...

[@larrylomascolo6289]

The Warehouse was NOLA .s Fillmore, great acoustics,

[@hivicar]

A fascinating bit of trivia at the top of this page about the Fillmore gig having only been the weekend before. Duane and Dickie are putting down licks on 'Whipping Post" that are expressing the familiar territory of the recent place they had taken the tune. Somewhat true of "Mountain Jam" as well.

[@helicalbevel]

If the Warehouse had a "house" band, it would be the ABB. They loved NO and came frequently. The day after this concert, they played a free concert in Audubon Park out by the river. They also played in the Superdome as the very first event when it opened = the line up was ABB, Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker, and Elvin Bishop. Wow.

[@88thrashers]

really sick version of mountain jam

[@mrblomsterify]

"I luv it!".

[@davidsgarand4709]

"There's a man out there!"

[@merrillhess5626]

This recording and many other concert recordings from A Warehouse can be heard at this link: www.blackstrat.net/mobile.html Among the many recordings are the first few nights, when the Grateful Dead were busted (as told in their song Truckin). Those first few night with Fleetwood Mac rank among some of their best live recordings. On February 1st, the Warehouse staff gave the venue, no charge to the Dead as a fundraiser for their legal costs from the bust. The legend says the Dead invited the officers who busted them and the officers attended the concert. Also included is the concert which includes the live parts of ZZ Top's Fandango album and an excerpt from final concert by The Doors.

[@coobay978]

I was there

[@herbierolison7821]

My comment regarded a group such as the Allman Bros., or the Floyd, and the manner in which they could switch gears 1-5, then 2-3, then back to 5-1, and brake...stop and go, etc. without even thinking, so to speak! Their souls were interlocked by this point! Yet, Zappa, Marley, Lou Reed, Peter Green's Fleetwood, Leon Russell, Van Morrison...all are masters of the Art as well!!! I miss music of that dedication; however, it's sleeping in this generation! As Jim Morrison put it! I dig ur taste!!!

[@gfriedman99]

Does Duane have really large hands/ long fingers? Seems like he can wrap em around the neck pretty much like Jimi could.

[@sergioamayajr.5868]

FYI, The A.B.B. was the house band at The Warehouse.

[@sharplessguy]

thanks for the post. Having been to the Warehouse many times and knowing some local soundmen/companies from that era I was wondering if you could tell me how you came by the audio from this show? It doesn't seem like a dead mic recording, more like a feed from the board....

[@chino_jap0nes]

Listening to mountain jam and it is great, tempo is crazy but I like it! 57:10 love the Chuck Berry style playing!!
