[@thecowgirlflorist8772]

He really seemed like just a humble, sweet guy..I wish they would have let him talk more. He's a thinker. It takes a deep thinker to write songs. So when they were peppering him with questions and talking over him, he was still thinking about how to answer the question. Damn, let him answer the question!

[@OrdoSanctiBenedictus]

He is a southern gentleman through this. Stupid questions. He found peace. He beat it. The road goes on forever.RIP

[@maggiemconnor]

i love his response when asked about his favorite song, He says "I would say the next one." Just love him! xox

[@8656737s]

His music saved my life many times. RIP Gregg ❤

[@jamesblevins7115]

I was absolutely appalled by the questions by Gail King to this eternal legend...Saddened by his passing but he will always be to Coolest Of All Time...ETERNAL REST ICON...

Gregg Allman was and always will be one of the greatest musicians, he will be sorely missed, I so appreciated his talent and music.

[@petesciarabba4367]

"I just want to make sure you're ok..." really. So glad you care Gail.

[@jillthompson1248]

But he’s a southern gentleman and smart as a whip he’s been treated worse and took it in stride all these things thrown at him by lesser people he always rises above he’s a class act But interviewers need to understand who they are talking with how they converse so they can get the best possible interview these guys didn’t do their homework but Greg rose to the occasion and made them not look bad

[@suzanneberkey1114]

What a gentle and sweet man Gregg Allman was. I remember seeing photos of him in the 1970's and he seemed like a party animal. The long hair and all. R.I.P. He will be missed.

[@xanaduxanadu2181]

"I took a chunk of time last night to read your book." Wow. OK, cool.

[@gregorytyska6871]

Does she not even realize the gall she has with a question and statement like I am worried about you. I want to make sure you are okay. Does your mother approve? what an ass hole series of statements and questions... you could see how Gregg was doing his best not to show that it bothered him. That was so uncomfortable to watch. Where did she learn her interviewing skills? Oh my God!

[@decacards5250]

From Oprah. LOL.

[@patkelly5172]

To miss an opportunity like that with a great artist like Greg is just typical. Most of us fans could've done a better interview cause we would have focused on the music and the artistry. I will miss the band so much. Anyone lucky enough to have seen the original group is blessed. lve seen the band 4 times. RIP Greg.

[@julies649]

First time I’ve seen this interview. Musical hero! Even Charlie was embarrassed by that airhead, Gail, who didn’t deserve to be in the same room with this icon.

[@DH-xm3hc]

@@julies649 I totally agree. Gail to me is a pushy piece of work. She keeps saying she is worried about him. Bullshit! I think he was offended by her and just didn't want to answer her pushy questions. She probably hasn't even listened to the Allman Brothers. You are truly missed Gregg and may you live on with your music. Thank you. R.I.P.✌❤🌻

[@brianbelton3605]

Forget that noxious interview lady (wasted words, already been heard.. . . .) Many of my best memory's were at the Beacon theatre, when I was in NY and staying at same hotel. Such fun. And as a kid, in our family van traveling & listening to Brothers & sisters on the 8 track. Simply the best.

[@gregmatt1466]

I had the honor of meeting Greg Allman at a concert in Vancouver , Washington in the early eighties. thanks again for the years of good southern rock ,I will miss you and your brothers.

[@lisamarieva3514]

One of the rudest interviews I have ever seen. Gregg remains calm and seemingly undisturbed by her crass comments and questions. Obviously he has his scandals but what is the purpose of bringing up what had already been aired a thousand or more times? And he just graciously took it on the chin. Makes me admire him even more. Mr. Rose did have the decency to appear uncomfortable with Ms. King's inappropriate questions and misplaced comments. She is a buffoon.

[@sross54]

gk is an idiot and is as phony as her head of hair. I’ve loved the Allman Brothers for over 50 years. They live forever in my memories and in my heart. RIP Duane, Gregg, and Berry. 😢😢😢

[@donmcallister3745]

With everything this man has done and been through... if you had one question to ask Greg Allman.. it wouldn’t be about musical influences or do you quietly “talk” to Your brother... how did you deal with a liver transplant.... NO....” does your mother approve of you getting married again?”HUH???? Incredible... and I’m gonna go out on a limb... and just guess... Gayle didn’t make it to the Beacon Theatre... to see the Allman Brothers....😛 Not a Greg Allman concert... as she referred to it....stay in your lane... Gayle...🙄🥺🙄!!!

[@richardgarcia-sm5un]

I'm sure after she privately saw the replay of her silly interview during editing she thought better. As in oh shit i came across as a total cunt i best just sit this one out.....

[@dougreed9843]

I found these fellas mid point in life st mid 30's I said to myself were the heck have I been this music had been flowing in my entire life hearing Duane slide guitar Amazing Grace, Gregg singing Not My Cross to Bear One way Out Whipping Post, all of it Blue Sky's, it's in my heart been there all along. I grew up in Colorado lively spirit filled musical church in down town Denver with a neon Jesus Saves on the roof. A mixed race church that every person who wanted to do something for God had the opportunity to present that. I played rhythm guitar in the blue grass band at 12 years old and had started learning around 9 or 10 so I has strumming and chords down pretty well. That foundation to me I lost until I found the brothers The Almann Brothers, I picked up guitar again started putting my soul into playing again this bunch gave me back my heart real heart by 40 I was a different man, to that point I had chased my career I was in NJ across from Manhatten making a good living had my own business making more then I ever thought possible. But grew the way God wanted and now call it My Masters Program taken 20 plus years and have to say, the music they brought did it for me. I've listen to lots of music in my life, this heart and soul compilation of Jazz Blues Country and Rocken Roll is American music with real heart one of my favorite videos is them playen One Way Out in Germany blew my mind, another is Gregg in the back of the Capital Theater in Passaic NJ. Yea admit high as hell. Playen in acoustic guitar Cone and Go Blues I don't know for sure who it was written about. This song his bleeding soul in pain in my opinion is one of his very best representation of the skill and true talent this man is. Taking the pain life handed him and turned out one of the best Blues performances ever. For me RIP for all them fellas cus none of the original group at the Fillmore East are with us. Thankfully their kids are at it and the core carries on through new eyes.. peace

[@brattracy2542]

Oh and she is SO WORRIED ABOUT HIM...??? U DONT EVEN KNOW HIM LADY...!!! WHAT A JOKE THIS IS...!!!!!!

[@Kellatrina]

He could have really embarrassed her. Wow. Who does she think she is.

[@TheGuitarMan71]

Gregg roasted her

[@lindsaygraham4456]

What a ignorant AH that woman was. First its none of ur business if he gets married 24 times. She had issue with that so dhe tried to call him on it. Greg handled it well. Me I would not been as gracious as he.

[@bradr1913]

Totally a bitch none of her business. Why ain't she married. Nasty. Eventually she turned on Charlie rose.

[@bigrip5403]

that may be the most disrespectful exchange I have ever seen. does she think this man deserves her BS "gotcha" journalism? what the fook has she EVER done besides munch Oprah's turf? what a disgrace

[@joleneloveland2942]

Gregg is somewhat shy and the questions about Duanes tragedy still hurts. I think he prefers to remember the good times with his big bro instead. Although the questions asked in this interview, were personal, difficult to talk about, and made Gregg feel uncomfortable, he answered with grace and total honesty. I think Gail was trying to get the sensationalism going, its totally wasted on Gregg, whom is a " no bullshit" kind of guy! And I think that because of all the scandal rag sensationalism that came with Cher that he is wary of the press from the get-go! One good interview ( I think) is with Dan Rather! They seem comfortable with each other and had a mutual respect going on. Much better interview!

[@fomoco1454]

Why in the hell did that woman embarrass him like that. She's wasn't worried about him or his well being and it was none of her damn business.

[@greglarry11]

I think it's the pace. Greg Allman is a slow talker. It doesn't play well on TV and the interviewers are nervous to pick up the pace for the producers. But, Gregg is a slow talking southern gent and you better have time for him and speak straight.

[@donkeykong5660]

Nope, the interviewers SUCK

[@Diamond88keyz]

nope, she was disrespectful. There should be only one interviewer and neither of them cuts the bill. Dan Rather did a better interview with Gregg

Julia S she interrupts him to often. I wanna hear what he has to say

[@doodleedledoo]

Totally agree. "I was so touched by your book, I read it last night, I took a big chunk of the evening and read it" wow, a whole chunk of the evening she managed to devote to learning who he is and she wants to let him know. A busy woman like her, he should be flattered. He moves at the speed of real life in this interview and she moves at the speed of television, wants to dig up some dirt on his personal life. It's uncomfortable to watch.

[@LoveLife-wy8gt]

Gail King does not have the empathy or integrity to interview anyone . Shes all about the cameras ..sad .

[@mikemaxwell1801]

All 2017 shows now cancelled, I'd say Gregg and Dwayne will be having a face to face soon. God bless him, he surely did shape the face of modern music. "you are the one who can make us all laugh but doing that you break down in tears please don't be sad if it was a straight line you'd had we wouldn't have known you all these years..."

[@larrygeetar9309]

+Mike Maxwell I'm sure many felt the way you did 2 months ago. I did also. When I heard it I got a bad feeling, knowing what poor health he was in. So you turned out to be prophetic and it's sad. Gregg was a unique artist and person, one of the greatest blues singers ever and perhaps the single finest white blues singer. Didn't matter what color he was, he just could put across a blues song so you's know he HAD the blues. The live Whipping Post from the Fillmore East album is incredible. You could feel the pain he was singing about and he had a lot of pain inside for fuel. RIP, Gregg Allman. You can finally hang with bay bro' Duane again. Let the jams begin!

[@mikemaxwell1801]

larry geetar Heaven is another legend richer. How lucky we were to have him all these years.

[@annecollins7065]

larry geetar Ironic that by singing the blues, now I can't listen to his music bc it makes me cry. This comment section is as close as I've gotten since his passing. I figure now I know how he felt when he sang. I miss him so... maybe bc it marks the passing of a season of my life too.

[@kerrystehlik7508]

What the hell just happened???? Most bizarre interview,

[@joelwatts5260]

Boy, that was tough to watch. I couldn't help to think that if I was talking to Gregg Allman I would have asked questions about happiness not dispare. I sure as hell wouldn't ask about drug addiction and rehab. That is personal and there was no reason to go down that path. The ex wives line of questioning was totally inappropriate. I saw the Allman Brothers Band in 97. Although not the original line up they still jammed. I felt in awe watching Gregg play that Hammond B3. I also got to see him solo a year or two later. THAT was special. What a performer. I hope future generations will get to know the ABB and play their music for all to enjoy.
