The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post - 9/23/1970 - Fillmore East (Official)

[@glennforrest5654]

I firmly believe our generation had the very best music, late 1960s to mid 1970s.

[@timjohnson1199]

We did. So lucky. The problem is, that we got spoiled. The present offerings are such drivel we can only satisfy ourselves with all the excellent music from the past.

[@bussyhaver]

agreed and this performance took place 7 years prior to both of my parents being born.. alice in chains is close, especially the live performance of ‘love hate love’ and tool is also pretty good, maybe the deftones first 2 albums but other than that nothing even close to late 60s / early 70s! very jealous of those that got to hear the greats of that era live.

Yup. One of the best, and IMO not even the best version of the song! The 1971 live version is 23 minutes long, incredibly raw and a rollercoaster. I like Duane’s first theme in that more than the 1970. You can see they spent the year perfecting it and mastering their parts.

That's because the music came first in those days.

These musicians were not kings, nor prophets, just great musicians that had a window of opportunity, a musical time that was special, and they jumped through. At this time, we wanted to change something, maybe saw that rainbow, but could never quite touch it. Those days are gone, I don't think this type of music will return.

@@wolfeyes9357 You can’t touch the originals, the pioneers of a genre of music, but there are bands who are taking what the Allman’s left us and keeping not only their music alive but trying to add to it as well. Tedeschi Trucks is the first band that comes to mind. Oteil Burbridge, & Blackberry Smoke should also be mentioned. But nothing will ever be as powerful as the mid to late 60’s & early 70’s. That is due to the change in the music industry itself. But the rainbow is still there and as long as there are fans & bands who love that music it will always be there. ☮️

Funny, at 64, I look back now at the music we heard while growing up and it was nothing short of creative genius, this song was among the very best. If you doubt it get your hands on the recording of Allman Brothers Fillmore East, pickup a decent set of headphones, lean back close your eyes, open your ears, and just enjoy the ride Duane, Dickey, Gregg and the rest of this band can take you on....amazing. I found myself falling in love with Southern Rock (Outlaws, Lynrd Skynrd, Henry Paul, Allman Brothers, etc.) and more proud than ever I couldn't dance through the whole damn disco era that followed. God, I love this amazing tune, there is actually a better 21 minute version on Fillmore East from 1971 and between that and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed from the same set are just amazing back to back. Considered the second best live music recording of all time by Rolling Stone, nuff said.......50 years old and still as gripping and powerful today as when recorded.

It became so much such a catch phrase between all of them as they continued to play together more & more and hone their craft to *MUSICAL PERFECTION* ..... that they used the term to title a later album after they had lost both Duanne and Berry so close together within about a year apart of each death in order to honor both of their fallen brothers.

Before they got famous, the original Allman Brothers (Hourglass) used to practice in our neighbors garage. They let me and my friend come over and listen because we also had a little rock band ("professional courtesy?"). We just sat there each night - in awe. The day that "We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet" came out, they played it flawlessly that night...just to let Duane warm up his fingers. I remember them playing "Stormy Monday" over and over and over. Gregg kept saying that something was wrong with it, but I couldn't hear it - it sounded perfect each time.Funny story: the neighbors called the police on them one night. We all laughed our heads off. We said, they will feel like idiots when these guys get famous...and they did.

+gary laubscher - Not Daytona, it was in Decatur, Alabama. I never thought a popular band would ever come out of here. In fact, only the drummer (at that time), Johnny Sandlin, lived in Alabama. He found the Allmans and got together with them in Macon, Georgia. He convinced them to come back to Decatur where they lived with his parents and the band practiced in their garage for several months. Johnny produced records and was an excellent drummer.It would really be interesting to find out what ever happened to the group your were listening to way back then.

[@michaelmelonas5644]

+Gordon Smyth - Thanks. Although they were all friendly enough to us neighborhood musicians, Duane was a little friendlier than Gregg. Gregg was the song writer. You know how most artists are quirky. Gregg had his mind in the clouds. They were equally talented on their instruments. Each of them pioneered their own sound. Duane once told me that Gregg had written several "good" songs...enough to make a whole album. I must have had a skeptical look on my face because he then said, "No really. They are GOOD songs." At that point, I realized that these guys were serious about a career in music.It was not long after listening to this raw talent that I realized that I was not musically talented enough to make it in a band and focused my career on something that I can actually do - LOL.

So hard to believe Duane was so young and could play like he did ..he sounds so polished of a player for his age ..just insane , he is hands down the best rock guitarist of all time

Just saw this for the first time as a 21 year old. My jaw has been dropped for pretty much the entire song, what an amazing performance all the way through!

[@dustin404]

5 days later and I keep coming back, such a cool performance. I’ve got some of my buddies hooked on this band now too. No better time for good classic music than the start of summer!

There’s so much more too!!! Enjoy 🎶

If you like these guys you gotta check out Lynyrd Skynyrd; 2 best southern rock bands ever, been over 50 years, still can't pick a favorite...

You are now a lifelong fan! Enjoy the many years to come.

I love his gravelly voice and no showboating. No hair spray just a good old boy jamming. He is missed.

[@TheBudderWizard]

I’m so grateful to live in a world where I can find out about a talented band 50 years after the show. What a world.

[@saleemcat9864]

So glad you discovered the Allman Bros. This group of talented musicians was truly a gift from above.
