THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND - ONE WAY OUT | At Fillmore East 1971 | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@johnshannon9656]

A great American rock band. Bad ass.

[@Blondemom2855]

Kathy here - first they are from Macon, Ga., about 25 minutes from my hometown. I met Greg when I was 14 when they were playing a concert at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Ga. Greg is the one singing, his brother Duane is the guitar player who plays the slide guitar, and Dickie Betts is the other lead up front with Duane. All of Georgia wept when Duane was killed in a motorcycle accident, and we lost Greg about 3 years ago. Their catalog of music is awesome. Check out Midnight Rider. Classic Song.

[@Jules-um4yy]

This is classic Allman Brothers. Gregg's voice is so cool and the guitars, drums etc. are spot on. This show and entire album is fantastic. Thanks so much guys for your comments and reaction. Miss you both💞

[@buckfan1969]

Still considered by many the greatest live concert ever, and yes, it was 50 years ago. Tom Dowd was the engineer who 'miked' the Band for those concerts, and he was years ahead of his time with sound. And then there's the Brothers; my all-time favorite band. Original lineup was incredible.

Welcome to the church of The Allman Brothers Band, where you get baptized in the blood of the best southern rock to ever exist! Try Whipping Post next!

[@dknicely1]

I listened to the Allmans many times because they were based about an hour from I lived. Duane Allman, the slide guitarist, founded the band and was the father of Southern Rock, ie. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker and others. He died less than a year after this was recorded in a motorcycle accident. That was his younger brother Greg on vocals. You can't go wrong by these guys.

Duane Allman, the slide guitarist, was rated the 2nd best rock guitarist ever by Rolling Stone magazine in 2011. Jimi Hendrix was first.

Southbound and Statesboro Blues should be next. Soul Shine is another good one. My favorite band of all time. I was lucky enough to see these guys four or five times in late sixties and early seventies before Duane died. Duane was an amazing guitarist, so good he was voted #2 best guitarist of all time at one time but is now ranked 10th or 11th. The solo and intro into to “Layla” that a lot people have always thought Eric Clapton did was actually Duane Allman. Clapton once said Duane “ was the musical brother that I never had but wished I did.”

[@GBeret83]

Before guitarist Duane Allman & bassist Berry Oakley were both killed in seperate motorcycle accidents roughly a year and just a few blocks apart from one another in Macon, Georgia, there wasn't a more technically proficient band at every instrument that was better live than you could find than the Allman Brothers Band. They were fronted by singer/keyboardist Greg Allman, the younger brother of Duane, who even today remains arguably the greatest WHITE blues singer ever. I would also strongly argue a more formidable twin guitar assault hasn't before or since been heard then the days of when the band recorded this album at the Filmore with Duane "Skydog" Allman & Forest Richard "Dickey" Betts both on guitar with both able to go off on long solo tangents in different directions for 20 or 30 minutes at a time, and then just as quickly round it all up and come right back together to give the song that big Allman Brothers Band finish. These guys are/were mega-talented, timeless, and for my money they were as good as it came live among bands from the classic rock era.

[@annheckenbach7358]

They had two lead guitarists at this point in their career. Sadly Duane Allman died in an accident early on, in the 1970's, Dickey Betts continued on.

[@ron42nm]

They usually had 2. When I saw them in 1989 they had Dickie Betts and Warren Haynes. Later Haynes and Haynes and Derek Trucks.

Two of these guys were actual brothers. Duane and Gregg . Duane (guitarist) passed away a long time ago in a motorcycle accident. Gregg (the singer) passed away about four years ago. What a loss it was when he passed. Their concerts were awesome( I saw them a few times ). You should really check out more of their music. They are fantastic! Some suggestions would be Whipping Post, Midnight Rider, and Soul Shine just to name a few. You won’t be disappointed !!

Sadly, the "main" lead guitarist (they had two lead guitarists and two drummers) Duane Allman, died in a motorcycle accident not long after this show. Then one year later, the bassist, Berry Oakley, died in the same manner, in almost the same exact stop. Yes, gotta do Whipping Post next; either studio version or live at Fillmore East.

That's him on slide in Layla. ✌️

Lots of great suggestions and early history of the ABBAND The Allman Brothers continued until 2014, the final line-up with from 1999 had Derek Trucks &Warren Haynes on lead guitars and Otiel Burbridge on bass. Hopefully I spark a hit, and suggest you check out from Gregg Allman and All my Friends concert The Allman Brothers Band. (Whipping Post) which will be highly suggested, but this live version is crystal clear and NOT to be missed. EPIC..and strap in and hydrate. GOOD LUCK. .PEACE

[@dennycollins8016]

Southern Rock is the best, and the Allman Brothers were top 5 in my opinion! Whipping Post, Rambling Man, Jessica, Midnight Rider I didn't see a lot of requests for "Sweet Melissa" (my daughters name, because of this song). Definitely not the ordinary vibe that you would expect from the Allman Brothers but an unbelievable beautiful song. Does this type of music bring you back to your reaction to Lynyrd Skynyrd? They were all playing that beautiful southern rock that I believe was some of the best music in that era. Another great song that is southern rock is "Green Grass and High Tides" by the Outlaws. Try it out! (Southern) Rock On!!

[@stevenspringer1599]

it is pure joy to watch as those 'sweet moments' hit the two of you for the first time. Yes we were lucky.

The video is not the video of them playing this song. Someone put together clips to make it look like it, but if you watch closely you can tell the sound and video don't go together. It's more there to give you a feel for seeing them play live. Just about everything they played on their first four albums was great, as well as the live album. The first two from their debut album, 'Don't Want You No More'/ 'It's Not My Cross To Bear', are incredible. They're two different songs, but connected and HAVE to be played together. Others you may not have done that are well worth checking out - Black Hearted Woman, Every Hungry Woman, Dreams, Ain't Wastin' Time No More, Trouble No More, Southbound, Statesboro Blues. All fantastic songs.

Duane Allman is the blond and Dickey Betts the other guitarist. These guys were so good at playing off each other it was hypnotic to watch.

[@johnhoerl7326]

One of the more memorable mistakes in live album history happens at 3:19 of the song, 4:18 of your video, when Berry Oakley (the bass player) comes in a beat early after the last slide solo. That throws off everything, but only for a couple of moments until Butch Trucks (one of the drummers) brings everyone back on beat with his powerful snare drum hits. Generations of guitar players (including me!) drove themselves crazy trying to count the beat through that stretch

First of all, Butch Trucks, the drummer before he passed away's nephew played with the band on guitar from the age 9 to 19. You will see him in other videos with really long straight hair and he nearly always plays the slide because his hands were too small too play without when he was learning how to play. Another thing about the Allman Brothers is that the have mastered the art of playing dual synchronized lead guitars, which gives them a very distinct sound.

But sounds great.

[@IllumeEltanin]

I know only very general information on The Allman Brothers Band. Duane Allman (one of the guitarists, but I'm uncertain which one; I think the slide guitarist) and Gregg Allman (the singer/keyboardist) were brothers. The rest, as you say, were "brothers from other mothers." Duane also formed the band Derek and the Dominos with Eric Clapton (Duane + Eric = "Derek"), whose biggest hit was the song "Layla." Eric Clapton later covered it himself in an acoustic version. I don't recall when, but I believe Duane was killed in a car accident involving a truck transporting peaches. The Allman Brothers Band later released an album called Eat a Peach in tribute to Duane. I think it may have some of their last tracks with Duane on it. So, that is what I have heard regarding the history of The Allman Brothers Band. I hope those more informed will post to correct anything I got wrong, and add more information for you.

[@chuckconner3694]

Duane didn't actually form Derek and the Dominos. He sat in on several songs at the invitation of Eric Clapton when they cut the album in Miami, FL. His biggest contribution was suggesting they change the tempo of the song Layla from slow to fast. It was originally meant to be a ballad. His slide guitar is featured prominently throughout that song.

[@IllumeEltanin]

[@johnhoerl7326]

The peach truck is a myth. It was actually a flatbed truck with a boom crane on the back; the truck stopped suddenly in front of Duane, who swerved, hit the truck, and then skidded some distance with his motorcycle on top of him. The title of Eat a Peach came from a saying he always had, that he was “eating a peach for peace”.
