Allman Brothers Band - Whippin' Post - Closing Night At The Fillmore (6/27/71)

[@kebobradley582]

One,of the biggest differences,between these guy's and 99% of all rock bands,is most bands played the standard 2,3 minute radio clip.Those other bands told a 3 minute story.The Brothers, carried us on an almost,unending journey.These guys,were from another world. They knew.peace

[@drmwm1]

It is startling to realize that the vast majority of people who listen to "music" have never heard, nor will they ever listen to, the talent these guys were blessed with. Also extinct is the class of Bill Graham.

[@kebobradley582]

Amen.Said it 1000 times.

[@kebobradley582]

Amen

[@bobgray1226]

and to think about the torch Greg carried and bandmates carried and marched on with after losing Duane and then a year later the bassist .... simply amazing... they was just kids themselves having to survive and cope....

[@RoRo-dl3hd]

I thank God for giving us the Allmans for as long as he did.

[@bluetoad2001]

when all is said and done, Allman Brothers Band put it together like no other

[@jacobabrownful]

Well said, buddy. 🤘🤙😎

[@lasersam]

Dickey's solo gives me goosebumps especially @6:44. The man deserves way more credit that what we give him

[@LouisAlvarado-mf7xn]

I mean… fuck… just Wow, FUCK

[@kebobradley582]

I agree totally.

[@arlobill]

Is that dickie on the right channell ?...fuck when it quiets down around 8 minutes in and that beautiful beautiful mellow solo comes in ...wow...thars dickie isnt ir? My god his playing is mindblowing

[@michaelblum6537]

Yes, that's Betts, breaking your heart with his emotive ornamentation.

[@PninianPnin]

Jesus Christ, I fucking love this band. The musicianship blows me away every time.

[@RoRo-dl3hd]

pninianpnin I think Jesus Christ agrees

[@Earl-pu2yh]

This 83 yr old great-grandma totally agrees with you. I've had 50 great years of listening to them. Saw them in concert in 1973 and was blown away since I was standing right beneath Greg's keyboard at the stage.

[@blueskydog]

Best American rock band ever.

[@geraldflowers8733]

Such a beautiful song! God, I wish I could play like that. My teenaged daughters play guitar and I introduced them to ABB's music, I feel so great when they try to jam to their music. Keeping it alive!

[@bumblebootwiddletoes5185]

What are they doing now?

[@jerrysullivan113]

YESSS...THE HUMAN SOUNDS OF LIVE MUSIC!! THAT CAPABILITY TO JAMMM AND JAMMM IS BECOMING A LOST ART, TO WHICH THESE GUYS WERE MASTERS. Have seen them a few times since the early 70s..never better than early on. YEHAH!!!! THANKS GUYS, for all the joy!

[@kjojar3808]

Jerry Sullivan, I was just thinking the same. I'm hoping for a renaissance of sorts, but it's a longshot. Some of my very best good times were had while the Allman's played on and on. May Greg rest in peace....

[@elliotjones3098]

one of the most amazing songs ever, never gets old. I thought the studio version was my favorite until I heard this....wow

[@musictosoul]

NObody jammed like the Brothers back in their creative prime.....The album live at Fillmore East still was the best of all the jams. It's so cool to hear this version after all these years. Thanks a million to who ever posted it.

[@markcorley]

As Bill Graham said, "The best of them all".

[@ireneruthfox]

The Best I've ever seen. And I seen them all. There was nothing like a Brothers show. Pure Joy.

[@james01lee]

I saw the Allman Brothers once back in about 1973 and they played til 3:30 in the morning.........wow, what a concert............

[@jasonjohnson-nb6oz]

The very best . Love the Allman Brothers Band, my favorite

[@brucejones299]

Still a killer tune. it has always been a favorite since I was a kid.

[@paulnerval7632]

You just can't get any better!

[@jacobabrownful]

I agree

[@HD21602]

This is great listening I remember when this album came out, wat a great memory, thank God it has been preserved in good quality, enjoy

[@SmokestackLightninBand]

Awesome version......Gotta love the Allmans.....

[@johnmoorefield76]

We lost a lot of music the day Duane Allman died!! One of the Greatest of all time!! Love me some Whipping Post!!

[@DougWJ]

Duane was so much like Hendrix in that it was pure blues with an aggressive psychedelic vibe. Which is why back in the day in the 70's that Rolling Stone top 100 guitarist of all-time has Duane at # 2 behind Hendrix. If only he lived who knows what we would have seen/heard.

[@the_sheet]

remember being mesmerized by this type of music back in the day as a kid in grade school... I think I found one of the best examples ever made.... goosebumps....

[@HighwayStarRevisited]

0 dislikes, no one would dislike this video!! I'ts Epic.

[@TheGunnCat]

So, so, good. Really tore it up.

[@rickm2879]

Love those Southern Guitar Armies!

[@ryanhallwrites]

My kingdom for a time machine! This is magic. Sometimes I wonder how different the band would be if Duane and Oakley hadn't met their incredibly tragic fates. I wonder what Duane's legacy would have been if he'd been alive and playing for the past 45 years. Dude's already a legend and he died at 24. Would Gregg ever have gone down the paths he went down with the drugs and the failed relationships if Duane hadn't been killed? These are gifted men playing with soul and passion. You don't make music like this much anymore.

[@seanmcdaniel7041]

I know it's been a year since you commented on this. I have to say that you have got that right. There is no replacement for greatness. The joy, excitement, the sorrow, no one else said it better.

[@tw8454]

great insight

[@greg7129]

I have wondered the same things myself...well said

[@salvyg]

Makes ya dislike motorcycles

[@hannahcohen5215]

Part of my very soul close my eyes and it all comes back Rip brothers

[@geraldwillcox5502]

,,,,mmmmmm Just Thank you Duane,greg ,Dickie ,Barry, Jal...Love ya all .....Old guy in Oregon ... 9/2018

[@QuaaludeCharlie]

I,m so glad I got to see them , this is the Fillmore East version , I saw them a year after this in ST.Louis , but yes this would be the legendary" version , at least in my mind , the studio is a great version too :) QC

[@NaughtGinger]

The quality and sound of audio are PRICELESS!!! Thank you SO MUCH!

[@nedjohnson5200]

This one is legendary also along with whatever other versions you can listen to that had Duane at the helm of the original 6.

[@brothersvilleknife]

How could you give this the thumbs down?

[@Balonious_Crunk]

Man, they should release "At Fillmore East" as a box set. It would be include the footage of this concert in it too, if its around.

[@souper1962]

let it be all about the music. today with haynes/trucks or the foundation, betts/allman. live it, love it. most of all, SHARE IT

[@drmwm1]

Love that transition at 2:10! Typical of this amazingly soulful player who never played it the same way twice.

[@drmwm1]

I am so thankful for these additional releases as I wondered for years about the improvisational desire and ability, rather than near note-for-note replication. Duane plays different solos for the different recordings of each song -- attesting to his soul and talent. Does anyone know of a link to an interview of Duane wherein he comments on his guitar performance regarding this performance and the March 1971 Fillmore release? Gregg says that Duane had wanted the live cuts (Trouble No More; Mountain Jam; One Way Out) to be on Eat A Peach, they were not last-minute filler tracks after Duane's death.

[@mackwhite1308]

You cannot replicate this! just listen to it on youtube and your ipod!!! and be thankful you can :)

[@jerrysullivan113]

RIGHT-ON BRO!! TOO MANY CRITICS ..... JUST LISTEN TO THE GIFT! :-)

[@2Juiceman]

What an epic piece of music - Juiceman

[@benabbott6031]

The moment at 6.32 is one of the best guitar licks ever played - man that's a nasty tone there!

[@manzarek88]

AMAZING!

[@arlobill]

My favorite ever version .. That solo at 8.30 minute mark is just so beautiful. Is that dickie betts ? Betts right channell ? Duanne the left ?

[@dspreis]

Yes, you're right, Dickey Betts. His AMAZING solo begins at 4:38 and doesn't end until around the 12 minute mark. Superb and very moving.

[@jcurtis858]

Yes. Just do a youtube search for You don't love me/soul serenade and it will be the first link in the find.

[@RayNDeere]

I've noticed on some of the other live versions I've heard that the tempo is up a bit. Can't really called it rushed because they stretch it out so well and seamlessly

[@hatfez]

I was at one of the Filmore East shows when I was a kid in 1970. Sorry you don't like this stuff, but believe me, in their time, they were the best. Perhaps if you had a Kenwood, some nice speakers and a good turntable, sat in a dark room with some mellow lights, lit a fatty and downed a few tall cold ones, you might feel differently! Rock on, my friend!

[@SteveEcksteinDouglasDrive]

rock on to "a.b.b. live at FILLMORE EASTI PLAYED IT TOO BACK IN EAST MEADOW>

[@jimsmithctc]

just stumbled on you in Facebook and you made my day! Thanks for adding a smile to my post-Sandy induced Blues.

[@garygerow4822]

one of my favorite songs (Bands) of all time,ive been tied to that whipping post.

[@DazedConfused1969]

that has "flirted" with a official release for 30 years. I fucking love that!

[@evgeniasidorenko]

Perfection!

[@rickmissel1199]

Damn.. How I Miss That All...

[@jlwaters421]

R.I.P. skydog, we miss ya

[@edwardvarn731]

I Saw the BROTHERS twice onetime with Duane one without They were awesome ! Duane will be missed

[@winesource1]

Agreed but i think Duane took it to the next level and no one has been able to come close to the exciting and energy filled level Duane did. Jesus Christ, only 24 when I died. Can anyone imagine how much better he would have become if he where still alive. He only played slide for 3 years before his death on Oct 29th 1971. 3 yrs. and he played that well. wow!! Paul

[@kebobradley582]

No one,no one.Was in the same sphere.Duane Allman,was the greatest. Amen

[@fabiang2007]

Awesome jam !! A great band in a great concert ! If he had not died in that stupid accident, who knows the level that Duane had reached as guitarist ? More than Clapton maybe. Regards from Argentina

[@gregorypatton2514]

I feel ya cause it feels like I been tied myself

[@aroldfut]

Winterland and Fillmore West...when music was real.

[@johnnyguitar335]

at this writing the"odometer"on this youtube clip reads "7,030"....should read "7 Billion served". Awesome brotherly love and musicianship Duane, Greg, Dicky, Berry, Butch Trucks, Jai-Johnny Johnson. 1971 was the best of years to catch them---also the saddest year when Duane left this earth. ---johnnyguitar335

[@gwmerr]

Wow, "hittin the note" does not begin to describe this performance - typical analog understatement by the ABB

[@tacospiderrr]

I can't believe so many are misunderstanding what this person wrote. He's saying he's sorry that he didn't start appreciating the Allman Brothers Band until 30+ years too late. He heard this song and found out they're awesome and that he has spent the last 30+ years without finding out who they are or how great they were/are. It's a happy post. It's a "Look! I've finally realized they're awesome! I'm only sad it took this long before I found about their awesomeness!"-type of post. :p

[@texdoug100]

My favorite band of all time. Is there the version of You Don't Love Me downloaded somewhere as well?

[@fivepts]

@iamnotanumberiamaman - "Mountain Jam" on the "Eat a Peach" album is from the Fillmore concerts, but not sure if it's the same night. This recording-- although dang good--isn't the same one on the Fillmore album. I've heard there is actually footage of one or some of the shows, produced by PBS, but never released for sale. I'd love to have a copy of that!!!!

[@badman7520]

What I wouldn't pay if it were possible to go back and see this concert with Duane still alive. I wonder what would have happened if he had joined Derek and the Dominos as Eric Clapton had asked him to.They had met after a concert one night and wound up jamming for a few days.Clapton asked Duane to join his new project,and according to a few people considered it. In the end he rejected it and returned to the Allman Bro's Band after missing several shows.The jam sessions were put on Layla and Other Assorted love songs love songs issued that November. What if.

[@andymarchus6250]

+BadMan It's a great story about that session in Miami and your recall of it is the same as mine. Clapton has a long history of not staying with any particular band or group for long (Yardbirds, Cream, Blind Faith) so even had Duane joined Derek and the Dominos, it may not have lasted that long anyway. But Duane played on many songs on that Layla album, plus the jam session, so we have all that to treasure.

[@badman7520]

+Andy Marchus -Amen to that brother.

[@gavriellev9959]

BadMan claptons overrated. dickey betts is a baaad man.

[@411LED]

Although (EZ) SlowHand was going and been thru some trying times...many a bunch of what if's have been done ! ;).. recently turned 72 and in Cali touring ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYmnn6GfhtB1qsk

[@411LED]

"gavriel lev" One can place their Betts that Dickey is most definitely one premier musician BTA I also give one major standing Clap for EZ who's been 3 times inducted in the R&R Hall of Fame being honored as a member of the Yardbirds in 1992, then with Cream in 1993 and finally as a solo artist in 2000. Those who call and nicknamed him God then YES even he'll agree ;) : . "Clapton's sound and playing inspired the famous slogan "Clapton is God", spray-painted by an unknown admirer on a wall in Islington in 1967." ;)

[@zulemawatkins1571]

great fuckin music

[@cattarbell46]

days of yore!

[@markcorley]

Best Goddamn band in the land

[@hilbertsinn6886]

Damn. _Goddamn_ ...

[@johnbrugnone5914]

I am sure they may be people from China or India who have a bit of trouble relating to Southern Rock and Roll. And maybe some 80 year olds. But this is the core of Rock and Roll man. This jumped into being in the face of Cherry Babbie. And for 90 per cent of those who lived that period this is art in the extreme. So what are you even doing commenting on the pillars of Rock and Roll why are you even here? Bye. This is the holly grail man.

[@SteveEcksteinDouglasDrive]

rock on to "a.b.b. live at FILLMORE EASTI PLAYED IT TOO BACK IN EAST MEADOW>

[@jaywarshaw7687]

Here it is, the classic long version of Whipping Post played during the closing night at the Fillmore East Auditorium in Greenwich Village, NYC on 27 June 1971. The country & the world were still in turmoil, the Vietnam War raging, Civil Rights still being fought for, the Kent State & Jackson State mass murders by the troops of the political oligarchical class still fresh in peoples minds. Drugs were also rampant...

[@nsteadybeatz]

This is hendrixclaptonsrv.. I forgot my password for this account hah. Crazy to see how many views this has gotten to.

[@WrathofKhanII]

Yeah that's what my comment says. I was replying to somebody who said that the person who was "late" should go listen to ABBA

[@winesource1]

correct and he was about 20 days shy of his 25th birthday, my math makes that nearly 3 yrs if it were the beginning of his 22nd yr, which it was. None the less, he is still considered to be the best as far as slide guitar is concerned.

[@AndrewThacker]

@mikkm wolfgangs vault! magic place listen to in memory from the fillmore west

[@salvyg]

Missed seeing them at tha Boston Common before Duanes death. Had to work. Been regretting it ever since. AUG 71.

[@jericchowalls]

Hey, my man, I respect that. The thing I love about music though is that it "can" go through changes no matter how rough. I like the song (Whipping Post) but it was a different time back then. I am assuming you are 27-33? I watch "American Idol" and just love all types of jams without a doubt. I take that back about saying My Man, instead I will say what's up Santiago to show respect to your given name.

[@AndrewThacker]

@HendrixClaptonSRV wolfgangs vault has this show but i havent checked the quality of the audio in a while.....but yeah torrent downloads is where its at haha

[@markwestervelt9708]

No one can ever duplicate that.

[@markcorley]

Dammit, boy!!

[@WrathofKhanII]

I love you

[@GeoChatz1995]

Who plays the solo between 08:30-12:30? Allman or Betts?

[@gregggilmore572]

dickey

[@wmarkwilson1879]

It's beautiful. That solo and Duane's ferocious solo at the beginning makes this my favorite version of all that I've heard.

[@Southernborn761]

Pulls out the soapbox:::::: I think that Derrick , Dickey and duane are some of the best pickers. Of all time. But even duane said a number of times. That he could not hold a candle when it came to the MASTER of the slide. He said it was his greatest influence. The Master of the slide. The guy the rest want to be like. The one they learned from.... that would be Mr. Elmore James the King of the slide. Well without him. No one would be playing the slide. just my humble opinion. May theyAll R.I.P

[@cognitive-carpenter]

love these youtube artist bios, no more wiki over indulgence haha

[@anthonyspare]

Anybody hear Duane's short homage to "What The World Needs Now" @ 17:27?

[@anthonyspare]

I've also heard this on another WP recording, i'll see if I can find which one it was.

[@CliveBramham]

Yep...it says enough.

[@jacobabrownful]

About 8 min in you get a strange feeling when the music changes..🤔😧🤘😎

[@MultiCrimsonRain]

This is the version on the Deluxe Edition of Eat a Peach right?

[@geraldwillcox5502]

..Fillmore East,,,,,

[@Seeneeneeabubabu]

yeah this version isnt the one on afe actually. just as good though dickeys breakdown is always great.

[@superfuzzymomma]

@animenutjobiscrazy FINALLY! Yea, man, Dickey is second here. Amazing it is!

[@mikkm]

HendrixClaptonSRV where did you get these tracts?or where can I get them

[@margaretrose711]

SKYDOG FOREVER!!!!!!

[@cognitive-carpenter]

The Halo OST has a bit of the Allman Brothers in it, surprisingly

[@armensog87]

nope. the 23 minute long one is

[@drummerdreamer57]

I think what Ronnie is eluding to is that the very first two solos (1st by Duane and 2nd by Dickie) were in fact rushing a bit, and in-and-out of sync with the rest of the band...I agree with that...but the rest of this epic jam is a creative and highly emotional masterpiece!

[@jaywarshaw7687]

[@jakerichmond6752]

+drummerdreamer57 ummmm one word: cocaine. this was,after all, mid 1971...

[@jakerichmond6752]

+Jake Richmond p.s. this is my All Time Favorite Band!! They Changed my life! The "ORIGINAL 6" never got to their prime....but they were obviously well on their way.

[@gumballthechewy]

In the picture for this video Duane looks like he has alien fingers on his right and he's flipping the bird with his left!

[@jacobabrownful]

11-22-19 what happened to the good music like this. No need for much lyricism with real musicians in full form... RIP boys!

[@EnlightenedRogue]

Is it me or does it seem that every cut taken from this concert seems sped up? "Lizzie Reed" & "You Don't Love Me" sound a bit on the high end and out of tune. I have an old bootleg from St. Louis a year earlier and the run thru of songs is so fast the concert is unlistenable. On the other hand I know the band would speed thru their songs on first sets and slow the temp on the closing shows. I feel run down and lied to!!

[@jacobabrownful]

In '71 ABB was at their best imo..

[@TheBootleggerMusic]

'Better late than never,' is what I always say. Good shit will always be good shit, no matter ho old it gets. look at beethoven...oops...got a little real there...

[@boblackey1]

@animenutjobiscrazy Yeah that is right. Dickey always went second on Whipping Post, even on the first studio album. But I noticed he and Duane switched slots on Stateboro Blues in 1971. Duane had a more wild and bit hotter stye than Dickey & Dickey was a bit more melodic and played rounder notes. Both could be real "spacy" so they were really a great guitar team. As good as Haynes &D. Trucks are, they fall a bit short of this.. the REAL ORIGINAL Allman Brothers sound.

[@WrathofKhanII]

You're right, it really makes your soul bleed, and if medieval medics had this music, I'm pretty sure people would've instantly been cured of whatever was wrong so no leeches would've been required. Unfortunately those dead were probably due to mental stress from their mind being blown

[@StamfordBridge]

Tempo seems upped 50%.

[@richarddukes5503]

so, ronny; have you missed your meds?
