[@garymorse7249]

This was back in 1969 and 1970, when there was still a lot of overt racism in the south. One of their drummers was black and the band and their road crew went into a restaurant and their drummer was refused service. All 25 of the band and crew stood up and said"well, you are not serving us either" and promptly walked out. Businesses, slowly got the message that they are losing a lot of money by refusing service.

Keep in mind that Gregg and Duane Allman were in their very early 20's when they recorded this. The whole band of course as well. These were old souls. Duane, the legendary guitarist you hear, died in 1971 at 24 years old.

Wow, he sounds like he’s 50 years old in this song and lived a lot of life

[@mneugent7658]

@@poloreacts27 I met him, Gregg Allman the singer, backstage at a show in the early 90's. I'd run into their road manager at a local gym and showed him some things he can do on his busy road schedule to keep in shape/get stronger. He gifted me 3rd row seats and backstage passes in return. I got to go to will call and do that cool "I'm with the band" thing. I also gave the guy a ride back to his hotel after the gym and when he asked if I wanted to come in and meet the band my my dumbass said "nah, I gotta go to work". Anyway, so when I ran into Gregg backstage after the show and said hi he was super chill but he was also talking to a smoking hot chick so I left it at that and let the man do his thang. Also, you're killing it with your reactions my man. Good luck with it.

Such a great song. The band went through a lot, most notably when Gregg's brother Duane, who was one of great guitarists on all time, died in a motorcycle accident fairly early on in the band's existence. But they persisted and made some of the best music of the 70's. Totally classic band.

On all things holy. This must be heard to the “live at Filmore East” version. The stories go (about that night) that it was like a religious experience and the band played all night. People were walking out of the venue with the sun rising and no one speaking a word. I actually want to do a documentary on it. GREAT react man.

[@benhinds2971]

This song is such a good cross-section of their style. Its got your blues, your sixties psychedelia, your bebop style jazzy time signatures. That is the difference between, and what separates them from from all of the other "Southern Rock" bands. The Allmans Had the mystical blues knowledge of the south and the New York smokey club sophistication of a jazz quartet. Of course you can only pull off that kind of diversity if you have the chops to back it up. I put them in a class of their own. A little closer to The Grateful Dead than The Marshall Tucker Band, in my honest, yet unpopular, opinion.

[@poloreacts27]

Great description!!

[@BP-or2iu]

I agree. But it’s also a pretty standard opinion. The jazz is obvious.

Soulful recording, gutt wrenching vocals by the GREAT Gregg Allman along with his brother Duane on guitar. I can FEEL every word he's singing! I have identified with being Whipped by life many time. It's more than a song, it's an Offering for anyone who has suffered this damn bad!! He wrote this at age 20!! "Good Lord I feel like I'm dying..." Blues, Heart and Soul- the Allman Bros involve us in the Music they are preforming. It grabs you, tears your heart out and lays your Soul on the floor, bleeding. My generation had such authentic Music that it has rarely been duplicated! Now give a listen to Not My Cross to Bear...my suggestion. Good reaction to a great song 👍🏼✌🏻
