[@lfdimb]

I cry every time I watch it. I cry with sadness that he left us...and of happiness for having lived at the same time as Gregg Allman and being able to be a fan of his music! Thanks for everything, Brother Gregg!

[@TheMonolake]

I cry too. Damm

[@FancyPant1122]

Beautiful what you said about Greg. I'm crying too

[@michaelbirke6050]

Sometimes you look around and realize life has caught up with you. I see it in Greg’s face. Always had a soft spot for him. Miss him and the band very much.

[@Christopher-yd2uy]

I cry every time I see this

[@Christopher-yd2uy]

Divorced in April of 2023 ,I listen and I cry 😢

[@hazysativa3045]

There will never be another live album like Live at the Fillmore East. Simply untouchable by todays generation.

[@Christopher-yd2uy]

Totally true

[@StevenMoney]

Hell none of the younger groups even play an instrument let alone be able to do a live album.

[@richardwilliams3625]

Used to see these guys at The Flame in Statesboro. Seems like a lifetime ago. They were always great!

[@bk6678]

Dan, this is one of the best pieces you have ever done. It means a lot to whole bunch of people. You should be proud to have documented this. Thanks.

[@jerrybracey19]

Soooo much soul. Just sits down and starts that piano and lets that soul loose. Pure soul.

[@sketchyold]

You forgot to mention soul.

[@Christopher-yd2uy]

God given Talent

[@gibby6904]

One of the best voices in blues/rock ever!

[@SMC84601]

And that's a fact !✌

[@nomiharper]

I miss his great laugh. What a beautiful person Gregg was. Such a gentleman whose music hits my heart. He was such a sweetheart and so humble. Breaks my heart he’s gone.

[@ekr66]

Love Gregg

[@Christopher-yd2uy]

Only the Good Die young

[@islandbirdw]

He was authentic and humble despite his fame and fortune. He and Duane composed and performed some of the best music. It’s a shame their both gone.

[@bigpop714]

I had just returned from VIETNAM when a friend turned me on 2 “Whipping Post”. Greggs vocals & Duane’s Slide I ain’t been right since!!! 71 years of age listen to the ABB most everyday!!!

[@kenni123064]

Hey Randy, when my father was sick and diagnosed with “Cancer” in 2016 I stumbled across “The Allman Brothers “ on the radio ….he died of Cancer in 2017. I have been listening to the Allman Brothers Band almost everyday! Gregg’s solo stuff especially “Laid Back” just connected with me. I have watched the “Dan Rather” interview with Gregg at least 50 times….when he got older and spoke about all his stories it just did something to My soul that I can relate and just block and lock this aweful smelling world out, and just find comfort in his music! God Bless Gregg! I have watched “Dickey Betts” interview with Dan quite a bit as well! Dickey is my 2nd most favorite member. My Uncles served in Vietnam and just like you…I am so grateful and proud of y’all! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@gmanning4881]

listen to the 1991 version with warren Haynes. it will blow your mind

[@beaulyons1977]

Thank you for your service 🇺🇸

[@Christopher-yd2uy]

When I'm terminal ,I want this music

[@RyRyPerez]

Thank you for your service brother!!!

[@peterkropp5603]

Been an Allman Brothers fan since 1971 , their music has carried me much of my life ... I just can’t let go ...

[@rapidfirerob4]

71 for me too. A friend in summer camp turned me onto the band. Idlewild South that summer. I'd been playing bass for a year and my focus turned to Berry Oakley and learning the songs. I have an Allman Brothers tribute band, Idlewild West, here in the Bay Area.

[@poppypetsparis]

I really wanted to see him before he passed on ❤ RIP ALLMAN BROTHERS 🎶🎵🙏🏻✝️❤️

[@Christopher-yd2uy]

I found the music later in life,God I love it

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

❤I understand

[@whatcher8151]

69-70. Saddened

[@Chappy1965]

God was so kind to bless us with this man, his brother and this genre of Music! Thank You Father! RIP Duane, Barry, Butch, Greg, & Dickey! Live for Christ Jaimoe!

[@JoyfulSaturn-cz2ui]

Warren was with him too for like 35 years.

[@chnorwood3365]

Thank you, Dan Rather, for giving us such a wonderful way to remember Gregg Allman. Savannah is my hometown which makes it even sweeter.

[@jamescantrell3066]

Yes Dan and I have to second that thank you for this beautiful way to memorialize this great human being and living Music Legends. By the way down you are my favorite recorder of all times

[@aprildennis7739]

RIP Gregg Allman. Beautiful voice and soul.

[@ronnietincher4501]

HIS SOLO WORK AND WITH THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND HELPED ME KICK HEROIN AND THROAT CANCER ! I WILL BE FOREVER GREATFUL FOR THE MUSIC AND THE MEMORIES ! RIP GREGORY LENOIR ALLMAN !!!!!!

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

God bless you brother hope your still on the right track

[@Bremaro1]

Just finished his autobiography and that’s just the kind of thing that made him so happy. 🙌🏼

[@lukeloveslauraalways]

Makes me sad watching this his health was failing. But for decades he was amazing. So talented. Hate he is gone now. RIP Music Man

[@broken_disco_ball]

I actually thought he sounded great for his age and condition

[@juniorjohnson5961]

He sounded good but you could tell the years had took their toll .

[@Christopher-yd2uy]

God Bless His very Soul

[@DD-xp2mz]

New Greg for almost 40 years, only seen a few shows, which we're awesome, never looked at him as a big star because he never acted like one, always down to earth and would do anything for a friend and definitely his mom. Rip Greg and Geraldine (mama A)

[@walthuntsberry9073]

Dammit Greg the world's missing the best blues singer there ever will be rest in peace my brother

[@rustywallace_]

Rest easy, Midnight Rider. Imagine the music he and Skydog are making wherever they are...

[@perijetton9275]

[@alrightythen4377]

This made me cry. Nothing makes me cry. We will miss you Greg.

[@wvufreak56]

Re Ality Ditto ....I'm 60 yrs Old & Have Listened To The Allman Brothers Since The Filmore East Live Album. This Interview With Dan Rather & Song He Sings In His Home, Show The Strength, Character, Heart & Soul Of A Determined Man To Press On Through Tragedy & Addiction. I Have The Deepest Respect For Greg & Am Thankful We Had Him To Appreciate ALL These Years. RIP....Until You Live Again....

[@clintcox4278]

Re Ality tell duane we said hey

[@tombacuse]

Dan stick to this kind of stuff, thank you for this interview. Tremendous. Gregg playing piano and singing is truly unbelievable. Thanks for the years of enjoyment Gregg.

[@theodosiamcfaddon6120]

sometimes i hate knowing that we have lost nearly all of the voices of the greatest time ever,the 60's and 70's.Music will never ever be that good again.R.I.P. Gregg Allman.THe beauty of your gift will never die .

[@stringburner57]

I don't know why, but "the older version of Gregg" makes me sad in a good way. His music steered/inspired me through the angst of a 70's teen, and still gets me through the rough patches of middle age. Thanks, Gregg.

[@wosslert]

So well put. Feel the same.

[@theodosiamcfaddon6120]

Walter Smith so true .When my life comes n on me and I feel like I want to give up,I always turn to THe Allman bros.and It's Not My Cross To Bear...takes away all the bad stuff immediately.

[@bobbybabinjr.4388]

I'm old greeeeeg

[@jonl2200]

The Allman Brothers’ music takes the soul to days gone by. Bittersweet, joyful. It always takes me back to the 70’s and times of naivety and innocence.

[@audreyann1975]

Wow! I was born in '75. June 4, 1975! I think you are incredibly lucky to have grown up in the 70s when these bands were at their peak. Soooo lucky!

[@coachonthego]

My goodness...something for todays "artists" to hear. Such emotion...for decades, a spiritual force in music..both his singing and playing... God Bless you Gregg Allman...and RIP. What a huge loss for the world of music.

[@jamesdunn9714]

It is real music with soul.

[@eaglesonmusicgroupltdeagle8138]

A tinge of leon in there too. Keepin it real. Luv it.

[@martimcshy]

Watching Gregg, I weep... I cry for him, the life he’s lived. I’m not one to cry a lot. RIP

[@Christopher-yd2uy]

I cry alot too

[@flatcreek4665]

Sure miss this man! I was so fortunate to see him in the late 80’s after I’m No Angel was released.

[@CasimirMandli]

Once you experience a Almond Brothers concert, you will be addicted. Every time they came I went. Thanks Dan for sharing this moment.

[@Michaeltbock]

Damn, I'm gonna miss his voice......epitome of Southern rock and blues.....Soulshine, brother !

[@carrrexx7190]

He will forever live via recorded voice.

[@elizabethhanlon3969]

[@ronnie5129]

THIS IS VERY SPECIAL HERE, GREGG WAS ONE OF THE KINDEST PEOPLE TO EVER WALK THE PLANET, GREGG WAS RIPPED OFF OF KNOWING HIS DAD, HE WAS MURDERED WHEN HE WAS YOUNG, HE WAS RIPPED OFF WHEN HIS BROTHER DUANE DIED AT 24 YEARS OLD, WHEN THE BAND WAS GETTING GOING, HOW MUCH CAN A PERSON TAKE IN LIFE AND STILL STAY A HUMBLE MAN , I DON'T KNOW, AT THE TIME OF THIS VIDEO, HE KNEW HIS DAYS WERE NUMBERED, HE KNEW HE WAS DYING, BUT STILL STAYED A HUMBLE MAN, WHAT GUTS HE HAD, WATCHING THIS, JUST RIPS MY HEART OUT, R.I.P.

Can't help but get choked up a little watching this. Mr. Allman you have left a hole in American music that will not be easily if ever filled. That soulful voice is the kind that many of us will only experience once in our lifetime. Thank you, thank you, so very much for sharing it with us as long as you did. You will always be loved and remembered. May The Lord welcome you home into His keeping. Man, this one really hurts.:(

[@donaldknitter6978]

Gregory "his close friends called him Gregory Allman at his request, Gregg was for a professional name, he was a private person and this version of "oncoming traffic" is as raw as it gets. Just Gregory Singing the blues. No one better

[@jillbolding7479]

What a journey this man has travelled!!! Man!

[@georgemitchell9696]

Beautiful instrument. He still practices; bent fingers and all. God bless. Oh yeah, I shed some tears. Bark, bark made me smile.

[@nancyboyd6273]

Sure miss this man. I learned to play guitar after listening to Sweet Melissa 24 times around and around on a turntable. 1972. The ABB was my inspiration all these years. 50 of them now. I even named my daughter Melissa in 1979. Hooe he's having fun in that big jam session up there.💓

I'm cryin' like a baby right now, listening to this wonderful, talented man. He's very ill and has cancelled all 2017 tour dates. Y'all pray for him and his family 'cause God is the ONLY comfort & strength left for all concerned. It's gonna be a sad day indeed when God gathers His jewel home. I know I for one will mourn... hell, I ALREADY AM!

[@Maryfran03]

Beautifully done - Gregg's a super talented humble guy - so happy he is still here to share his music😉💫

[@dogfaceman1]

Pure Talent, just sit down and do it. Rest in Peace Gregg Allman. To The 15 people that didn't like it, you shouldn't been listening to it anyway.

[@Adeline9418]

One of my favorites. I cried so much when he died. I didn't cry when Lynyrd skynyrds plane crashed.

I didn't know you Gregg... but you seem like a brother. It's as though you know my heart. RIP

[@eveseldercare]

This was filmed back on November 2, 2015... he was 67...and turned 68 on Dec 8, 2015... then a year later on 12/8/ 2016 would turn 69... then after New Years 2017... He knew that his health was declining... he already had a liver transplant a few years back, .and had Hep.C.. and was on Drs. medications... and had finished a book "My Cross to Bear" and did one last album "Southern Blood"....and was doing interviews... he knew his time was short... He ended up living with his last girlfriend of 5 years and married her in Feb. 2017....Shannon Williams 29 from Atlanta, Georgia she was the social media manager of Gregg Allman and Friends production co. He was 69. ..He would have turned 70... on 12/8/2017 if he had lived longer... He was very strong at the end and was tying up loose ends before he succumbed to the cancer in his second liver... He knew he was dying... but kept a good attitude at the end...

[@mariodorrico9165]

One of Gregg's most beautiful songs

[@samgoss8156]

I truly miss Gregg, that song is beautiful, and beautifully sung. I first heard “oncoming traffic” in my mid teens, and it’s just as meaningful now as it was then, thanks for all the lovely memories brother, and thank goodness for You Tube.

[@tonifrancis2189]

Love the Maggie May barking and how it doesn't rattle him. Love Gregg. Always have, always will.

[@manfredAnsel]

🤗🤗

[@jeffbranchick1516]

My God, has there really been any other singer who can bare his soul and pour it out with so much unbelievable passion and conviction than Brother Gregory Allman! To say he was graced with talent, to help him keep his demons at bay, is a grand understatement. The strength and power of this man's lyrical emotion travels beyond magnificent. This diamond, and Melissa, are his crowning achievements. So overwhelming sad when the news of his passing aired. This void can never be filled. For the love of all that is holy, this authentic legend will remain timeless because we have his music that he gave and left us with to enjoy, grieve and feel life. He rests forever with his beloved Brother Duane. God Bless The ABB

[@mickrose9633]

Still and always the coolest dude on the planet.... Aloha my brother, much 💘!!!

[@Stclairm1]

Wow, I had never heard this song. So very moving! RIP.

[@CEC1958]

Heartfelt, soulful and beautiful with a mix of Otis and Maggie Mae @ the end. We all miss you Gregg.

[@manfredAnsel]

Yeah,, A legend he is.. Hope you don't mind knowing each other..

[@temperhollow7716]

The best interview ever (Kudo's to Dan's sensitivity) of this sweet soul..yes he had issues with deep grief that leads to self destruction but he's s talented and real. His singing of the blues goes straight to my heart.

[@azombiestool]

So happy I got to see him twice before he passed. One of my heroes.

[@ekr66]

This song is about pain; Gregg was born to sing about it, to write about it, and to live it. Love to him.

[@ridgemontnlmoves5074]

From his first live solo band album with orchestra in the 70's, very rare to hear this and such a treat. RIP bro

[@letmrip3435]

God speed brother. Thank you for all the great and beautiful music. Tell Duane hello. RIP

[@bohemialite6371]

Wow feels like his say good bye.😢rest in peace.peace.

[@user-xt3gx5yu3b]

The older Gregg is so mellow, and yes it makes one feel a certain amount of saddnest when you think about the young Gregg. I don't know but I get the feeling he was always very sweet and kind, but just dealing with a lot of inner demons. Especially after his brother died. I just love him so much. It brings tears to my eyes knowing how badly he just wanted to be loved. I will miss the man and his music.

[@mark-fu9fe]

His music shows that.

[@shirleyorsak5656]

I think he realized the loss and hurt ,and used that motivation channeled through his music taking his bro for the ride with him. When idle, and not playing the demon came knocking to numb the pain glad he got to experience the last of his life clear minded ,and at peace .Rip brothers all beginning a new chapter together.

[@wendymathews1030]

Such talent....and a good person. God bless you, Gregg; thank you for all the years of music you gave us. Rest with God.

[@michellebabuta4603]

I love this Man and his pureness.
