Guitarist Reacts to The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post (Discover365 Reaction #26)

[@alvarojoselafitazuloaga3127]

Those “years of wisdom” behind the singer’s voice is a 21 year old Gregg Allman kid.

[@randyandrews5389]

One of the greatest masterpieces ever laid down.

[@vampireslayer1989]

Imagine listening to the Allman Brothers in 1972 while driving from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon and coming on to Peyote......

[@kathleenkarsten5739]

Randy Andrews ❤️❤️❤️

[@strattuner]

damn skippy,had the best guitarists and a genius on the mic Allmans lead the way

[@karenjones4458]

One of many, many reasons this band is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and have won numerous Grammy awards including a Lifetime Achievement award. Southern Rock, Blues, Jazz they blend it all together to make beautiful music. What amazing talent at every level & instrument. I am so glad I got to see them live in the early days!

[@joebauers8031]

Allman brothers had two fantastic guitar players. Dickey Betts and Duane Allman. So much guitar playing badassery in one band.... Then Greg Allman’s vocals on top? Whew! Great stuff!

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

UH, the song starts with Berry Oakley laying down a great bass intro, he was a great guitarist, too.

[@johnfoskey7855]

Amen

[@ryanhallwrites]

Brother Gregg was no slouch on that Hammond organ either.

[@andreabossi7990]

What about Berry Oakley and the drums twins?

[@ersheetz2021]

Brother, you don't even want to know how young these guys were when they recorded this. Hint, this was from their debut album. Rock on Man.

[@lesliebeacom4567]

To this day, I still get goosebumps when I hear this song! From the guitars of Duane & Dickey, to Gregg's most soulful voice!

[@EZisme71]

This has always been one of my favorite song and the singer Gregg Allman has a solo song from 1987 called I'M NO ANGEL that i really like also

[@ARTll-zy1cp]

ABB always puts a smile on my face. Its epic being there live.

[@donnast.joseph5158]

Gregg, singer, wrote this masterpiece when he was 20 yrs old. Watch the Filmore East video to see them in action! It is amazing.

[@fuita227]

Epic....real music is when you have a grin from ear to ear after you hear it....Gregg on voice with his Hammond B organ, Duane and Dickey on lead guitars...what a treat.

[@jeremygillott]

Gregg Allman, the singer, was only about 20 years old when he wrote and recorded this

[@ronchrisman]

He also wrote it with burnt match sticks on an ironing board.

[@christinerobinson548]

Country, rock, and blues. Sometimes, in their other songs, a hint of jazz. Unique to the Allman Brothers. Glad you enjoyed it, don't stop here, their catalog is full of this music.

[@magnanamus8659]

Years ago rolling Stone magazine dedicated an issue to the greatest 100 guitarists of all time,... And imagine everyone's shock when Dwayne was listed No 1!! Some of us already knew...

[@gregcable3250]

Duane was 2 Jimi 1, but Eric should have been 2 (maybe) after Jimi. Duane loved Eric's playing--was in awe of him with him with Cream. Love Duane, too--can't go wrong with any of them though, Si?

[@MelissaThompson432]

@@gregcable3250 Nobody's going to rank himself above his influences.... Back in the day, I'd never heard of Clapton until after the Derek material, and I thought I liked him based on "Layla;" and then he kept disappointing me.... It wasn't till much later that I realized it was never Clapton I liked. Technical expertise is nice; finger speed is nice; but "Skydog" has an extra something.

[@mikedenman2567]

I think he was the most tasteful player

[@Walker_Bulldog]

@@MelissaThompson432 Yes ma'am Skydog is the king.

[@LOAFEMB]

Yup Prince was left off of that list. That night was the RnR HOF of George Harrison and Prince went off.

[@gregponder8332]

Duane played slide guitar on Derek & the Dominoes' "Layla." Duane and Eric Clapton together... kinda seems like a natural for your 365 crusade...

[@spacecardinal]

Yes! Layla is so awesome!

[@ralphkern380]

If you can get hold of the 3 cd set of Layla and other assorted Love Songs, some studio jams are included. Worth buying the set just for that. I've seen a 2 cd set on Amazon, but the 3 cd set is from 20 years ago (or more). My son gave it to me years ago because I'm big on Clapton and Duane Allman

[@BillyBats773]

Never knew that! Makes sense though now that you’ve said that!

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

They're called "southern rock." A combination of rock, jazz, and blues. That's Duane Allman on lead guitar and Gregg Allman on vocals and organ. The rest of the band: Jaimoe on drums, Berry Oakley on bass, Butch Trucks also on drums, Dickey Betts guitar. RIP Duane Allman, RIP Gregg Allman, RIP Berry Oakley, RIP Butch Trucks.

[@Walker_Bulldog]

Maybe, but as Greg said, "Southern Rock is an oxymoron; Rock 'n Roll IS southern."

[@user-xt3gx5yu3b]

Mary it seems like you know the ABB really well . That's fantastic!! Honestly, I love the band so much and consider myself very knowledgable also.

[@ddyritz]

An oxymoron is two words that do not go together. Southern rock is redundant, because rock music came from the south. The southern rock era began with this band. It was a combination of pretty much all styles of music. What happened at this time is the musicians, the studios and the record companies were, for the most part all in the south. And I was a young guitar player growing up in this time, so that was pretty cool. Everybody wanted to play like Dickey Betts and Duane Allman.

[@jackstraw8145]

@@ddyritz Well I thought they were just Peachy! Eat a Peach.

[@rhwinner]

Greatest American rock band....

[@richardallgood815]

Duane was a session player for Wilson Pickett and convinced him to add "Hey Jude" as a final track on his album which ended up being the song Wilson is most recognized for. Clapton heard him on that track and was amazed by his talent. He died at 25 and left a legacy that mortal men cant fill living 100 years....

[@sammyturner2462]

[@metalmellie4371]

Best southern rock/ blues band ever. I believe "Gregg Allman" the singer, was only 19 when this was recorded. Yes, years of wisdom in such a young voice. I have loved them since before my teens and I'm 54 now.

You should watch the 11:30 September 1970 live at the Fillmore East. The original Band so many never saw....My Father saw them once a few months before Guitarist, Duane Allman died in October, 1971 at the age of 24

[@travissmith9451]

As Gregory always said "the term southern rock, is like saying rock rock. All rock music originated in the south".

[@bryansimmons4550]

I'm really thrilled that the young generation is "discovering" the Allman Brothers and other great artists of the 60's and 70's, but at the same time it's saddening to know that today's youth weren't raised on this stuff like my kids were. What is being passed off as "music" today can no way compare with the music from that Golden Era. I know. I was there from the beginning. Amazingly my friend, I still get the same feelings hearing this 50 years later as you do hearing it for the first time. No one will remember Britney Spears, J-Lo, Justin Bieber or any those other "entertainers" 50 years from now, but in 2069, they will STILL be listening to the Allman Brothers! I wanted to list more of the new "artists", but they are so blah I can't even remember their names. Keep on discovering! You'll never regret it!

[@ajcbng8289]

Who? 😂😂

[@joebauers8031]

You gotta check out “Johnny Winter” one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Jimi Hendrix was once asked “ what does it feel like to be the best guitar player in the world?” To which he responded, “I don’t know. You’d have to ask Johnny Winter” Here he is live in Holland in 1970. Johnny Winter - Be Careful With A Fool kzbin.info/www/bejne/boXcmGiJf6mjn7M

Johnny Winter Live/And was the very first album I ever bought back 1978 !

[@sorgism]

I thought it was Jeff Beck. From what I’ve read he was talking about Rory Gallagher at least in one interview. This story just keeps morphing. RIP Johnny Winters, saw him in Dallas with Buggs Henderson at SMU McFarlin Auditorium in the late 70s.

[@michaelsmith141]

This band has been and gone. Most of the original members have passed on. HOWEVER, The Allman Brothers are still and always will be one of the greatest blues rock band EVER !!! Gregg the lead singer has been acclaimed to be one of the best blues rock singers that ever lived.

[@gm9162]

Great song. Dual guitar work from Dickey Betts and the late Duane Allman. The Allman brothers are among one of the best "Southern" rock groups.

[@gayleash9712]

I'd have to say it's the best tune, ever. Gregg Allman on the Hammond and his vocals, top notch! Duane Allman & Dickey Betts on lead and rhythm guitars, and TWO drummers, and the bass, well, you hear it... Best tune ever. They play their instruments and sing, too. Just, the best.

The Allman Brothers are a Badass Southern Rock Band. No one sang with more passion than Gregg Allman. His brother Duane is one of the greatest guitarist, that rock music has ever seen. It's almost not fair, that one band had so much talent. Pick any song, and you'll like it.

You really need to check out more of the music that came out of Macon Ga, during this era. Capricorn records had a full stable of unsung guitar gods on their label and if you like Duane's playing check out his anthology album. He worked with Johnny jenkins, wilson Pickett, eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin and many others. Just an amazing talent to have only made it to 24.

[@MelissaThompson432]

Gregg Allman was 21 when "Whipping Post" was recorded. But he does sound like somebody who's seen it all, doesn't he? It's worth it to study up on Duane Allman; he died when he was 24, so all his legacy of musical greatness happened in about a four year period; from playing on Clapman's Derek tracks, to Wilson Pickett's "Hey, Jude...." ABB is classic and iconic, but there was a LOT of sessions work you might miss if you don't dig deep.

[@MelissaThompson432]

ABB is always best if you watch a live performance; the whole band threw themselves right at the wall the whole time. You're right; they considered themselves a rock band with blues influences, but they created a sound that came to be called Southern Rock, that's identifiable as a distinct sound.
