Gregg Allman - The Gregg Allman Tour - Queen of Hearts 1974 (Boston)

[@lgthwhrtn27]

I was one of the background singers on this tour. Gregg Allman and his band were gentlemen and awesome to work with. This song and Midnight Rider were my favorite songs. #greatmemories

[@jessemarchesseault8959]

LaGatha Wharton Amazing you were there. I love this whole album, you had to love "lovelight", thanks for the great music.

[@MusicMattersEnt]

+LaGatha Wharton , I've worked with Tommy Talton, guitarist/vocalist/co-founder of the band Cowboy who toured with Gregg, for years.. I'm sure you know him and I bet he'd love to hear from you.

[@davidringo1399]

I saw this Tour in Memphis,,,,was fantastic.....

[@robertmcgee5717]

Cowboy is fantastic! Thanks Tommy Talton for your brilliant Lead and Slide Guitar.

"Brothers and Sisters" audiobook (Alan Paul) brought me here. Excellent account of the post-Duane/Berry era of rhe Bros. Must listen (or read).

WOW !!! Cool. ~ 🍀Beantown Rocks !!! 🍲🍻🌡

I was there to!! Gregg put on a fantastic show!!♥️

[@martyconroy3786]

So many versions, this is the best. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Penn_chill]

Grew up in Atlanta and was blessed to see them many times, once even Duane was alive, if I recall correctly. Was too young to fully appreciate it. Phenomenal talents, just so incredibly good. So glad that Gregg seems to be clean and at some peace, but can still sing and touch hearts just as good. Thanks for the video!

[@phoneyjoe]

Sweet Lord, I had this on 8 track in 1976, along with the tour shirt. My grandson's school choir sang "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" last night, I couldn't get the song out of my head, brought me back to listening to this album. Always good to hear an artist outside of his usual band. Gregg had the voice for these songs. 40-something years later this is still a favorite.

[@djclay33]

Had the 8 track also. Saw the tour in 74😉

[@davidverge9510]

One of the best versions yet, I could listen to this song over and over

[@dannyadamson5580]

Great talent I had a chance to meet Gregg and spent a lot of time with his family he had a rough life but he left us with so much great music RIP

[@judygirl3102]

I believe that this was one of HIS favorites too. He says on the album (DVD), Back to Macon that lt took him 3 years to perfect and, I can see the subtle changes in the words that he played with and which finally completed this most beautiful love song

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. Always have, always will. Brings back all kinds of memories. Time is flying by, dang.

Saw this tour in Tampa one of favorites of all time. Cowboy and Greg put on great show as it was pre- Cher days.

[@susanmoreland2671]

This is what love sounds like

[@rickferencik5183]

One of my favorite songs , reminds me of my beautiful wife. Didn't think this tune was around in the 70s

[@Steven-zg5bq]

greg and dickey together was the best ever

Sitting in a coffee shop bout 20 miles outside of Nashville. Raining outside. Your a blessed man Mr. Ferencik. Wish the Lord would bring me a good women.

[@jeffreybennett8893]

I started playing bass in '77 and my brother told me to learn this. Took awhile, finally got it around '81! Jazz groove goin on, wasn't crazy about it at first ( I was into heavy rock like Rainbow, Uriah Heep) but then it got to me. Good song, started to love it. Still do...

[@judygirl3102]

The bass part sounds very bluesy to me...and some Jazz. Very little rock...like during the first solo, I can hear the bass really well...it is a relatively simple song...no? I don't really know. My fingers are the size of a bass string...

[@bohpke1]

I will miss you.

[@scottclute5958]

WORDS well-said!!!!

[@runbalk]

Soooo good

[@judygirl3102]

Travis..you know what you have here...? It is the version live BEFORE it was edited in the studio. I went and I set up that old turn table and got the album...there were 3, I kept replacing them. (one was from the Public Library!). Anyway, there is extra chat on this and the solo falls apart at one point, they fix all of that. I knew it was a little different from the record I wore out several decades ago....I don't know if YOU knew...but again, you came up with something that none of us have! Clay J, I am gonna put my version of the words...not to argue, because I love that you put the words. Here are the word the way I hear them. I have followed the words throughout the years. They are as close as anyone can get...To gather this strange piece of mind? **what do you think...and you must have the ONE two three. ONE two three...at the beginning he has never, ever sang it without the counting....it is part of the song. imo. ONE two three. ONE two three... Once I was glad Always happy, never sad And everyday seemed liked Sunday. And although things were slow and I never seemed to have no dough somehow, I never once got lonely. You see the fact is more or less, You're gambling with your own happiness and most all your would-be friends Turn out so phony. Oh but times they change and rearrange And I sing, Queen of hearts, Don't know where to start Or how How to stop... Half the days have come and gone left me feeling that I've done so wrong I've wasted so much time feeling guilty As I watch you sit across the room Beautiful as the flowers bloom... Leave it lay for just one day... Oh, brother you're gonna come back And I'll be gone.... I love you Queen of hearts Tell me not to stop Tell me where to start... Tell me where to start! And after all that we've been through I find when I think of you A warm South wind runs through and through In my heart there is only you. And I will always keep on trying Togetherness brings peace of mind Without it there would only be a lonely me Awww, I promise you baby, and a lonely you. When life's games get so hard I hold out and start, yeah! Queen of hearts I'll know how to start and Where to stop.... I love you Queen of hearts. **Sorry this is what I hear...and I am pretty sure I am correct...He played with the tell me where to stop and start, until it made sense...

[@johnwhetstone8038]

You are correct Judy girl! I love this version, I love to hear something a little different than what I’m used to. Beautiful

The original recording came out in 74' .. 'Laid Back' the debut studio solo album which was largely recorded in March 1973 at Capricorn Sound Studios in Macon, Georgia after internal disagreements with the group. During that period, the Allman Brothers Band began rehearsals at Capricorn Studios for what would become their fourth studio album, Brothers and Sisters. Allman brought the band the song "Queen of Hearts", which he had worked on for, by that point, a year and a half. He was inebriated at the time, and the members would not consider the song. "That song just ain't saying nothing," his bandmates told him. Later that night, he returned to Capricorn to work alone. He worked for forty-two hours, slept for six, and returned for a final session that wound up lasting a further twenty-eight hours. - "Mentally and physically exhausted," he was unhappy with his output, and discarded the tape reels in a trash can, hoping to set them aflame. Johnny Sandlin-who was serving as producer of Brothers and Sisters, and was a longtime friend-walked in and convinced Allman to start over. - Sandlin offered to produce Allman's solo effort, and Allman asked Sandlin to assemble a new team of musicians to help record the LP. Greg developed the album as a small creative outlet wherein he would assume full control, and he co-produced the album alongside Johnny Sandlin. The result was a truly amazing record. Upon its release, Laid Back received positive reviews from music critics, and it peaked at number 13 on Billboard's Top LPs & Tape chart. To support the album, Allman embarked on an ambitious tour, consisting of a full band and an entire string orchestra. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1974 for shipping 500,000 copies in the U.S., making it one of Allman's best-selling albums. ~ open.spotify.com/album/3UMtaez6qiiilTt74ypXXT?si=4cXv8ZxSRcWxfdpLePUlHA

It was RB.

THIS not the version of this song on the album shown

[@phoneyjoe]

The banter with the audience might not be on the original, but otherwise this is the version from that record.

[@JenXer71]

phoneyjoe it’s not the same version as the original copy I have on vinyl. Maybe there were different versions on different pressings but it’s definitely not the same as mine. Still great to listen to either way.

[@PaulMcGrath-k9s]

Totally agree. Not same version. That was a New York show. 2:51

Different version than shown album cover ,100% sure.

Anyone know what he said at :33 mark?

[@judygirl3102]

Mr. Clay do you remember when the first time Queen of Hearts was recorded? I don't.

[@TommyTaltonTunes]

judy Girl, Queen of Hearts was first recorded on the "Laid Back" album on Capricorn Records. Gregory's first solo album.

[@paulbourgeois606]

Queen of Hearts was first recorded on the Idlewild South album, I believe. The Brothers second album

[@djclay33]

@@paulbourgeois606 Laid Back LP....never on a Bros. LP. Laid Back is the debut studio solo album by American singer-songwriter Gregg Allman, released in October 1973 by Capricorn Records. Allman, best known as the vocalist/lyricist/pianist of the Allman Brothers Band, first began considering a solo career after internal disagreements with that group.

The correct line is "togetherness brings peace of mind," not "to gather this strange piece of mind." Anyway "piece of mind" makes no sense. Thank you.
