CHRIS STAPLETON - WHIPPING POST | REACTION

[@kathys6402]

Gregg Allman is in the audience, he gave Chris a standing ovation. I think that says it all. Right before you ended the video they showed Gregg Allman.

[@bryansimmons4550]

7:43 There's Gregg!

[@creoleviking8433]

Gregg and Duanes daughter it looks like?

[@sharrongrant6240]

I don't think that is Gregg in the audience

[@daileallman8811]

As an Allman. This is really great. I love Chris. He’s a badass

[@rickolson-51]

As good as that was it's just not as good as the A Brothers...

[@cavecookie1]

@@rickolson-51 Well, I have to agree with Jamel, here. NOBODY else could cover this song like Chris. I won't argue that there is something special about original artists, but I wouldn't say it's not as good, I would just say it's not the same. a case in point here. The song "The Breeze" was written and first performed by JJ Cale, and of course, that same song was a big hit for Lynyrd Skynyrd a few years later. they are two VERY different versions, and both are great!

[@donna3465]

Thank you so much, Jamel, for giving me this gift. I had no idea that Chris Stapleton covered this song. All I have to say is: It’s f’ing BADASS! One of the best covers of any song ever!!! Chris should make an album of nothing but Allman Brothers cover songs. I’m blown away.

[@ExpectTheSpanishInquisition]

Love love love Chris Stapleton and I just discovered him through your reaction videos! Janis Joplin would have done a RIGHTEOUS cover of this song.

[@SunyCartoons]

Damn...Now this makes me wish Janis Joplin had done a cover of this. Her version would've been amazing.

[@magpie5710]

Actually that is so true. I was agreeing with one of the other responders, that is the way to cover an already great original. But Janis would have ripped it also. Joe Cocker too.

[@Lindaconner-tw3si]

Chris Stapleton has that "it" that is what I only know is a God given gift!! This song gives me chills!

[@mariawilson5264]

There isn’t anything this man CAN NOT do..watch him live in concert and his pure talent will blow you away!! His talent (singing, playing guitar) is beyond amazing

[@traceybaytops8681]

ANYTHING CHRIS STAPLETON PUTS HIS VOICE TOO HE SLAYS IT OFF THE PLANET!!!! I LOVE THAT MAN'S WHOLE LIFE!!!!!

[@margiemcpeak9304]

That gravelly, gritty, Southern rock sound from Chris Stapleton is on a whole different level than any body else! To know his "break" came in 2015 when he & Justin Timberlake performed "Tennessee Whiskey"/"Can't Drink You Away" together at the Country Music Awards is incredible! Before that he was primarily a songwriter. God bless his talented wife Morgane for giving him the encouragement he needed to start performing! I love your reaction to their videos! Peace, love and stay safe!

[@tammyamescua7541]

Did not know Chris has covered this song, when I saw the title, I was like 😮 Hell yeah, I have to hear this! No surprise, I was not at all disappointed!

[@raquelespino5088]

Why the 👎? This man is one bad dude. He can sing anything and his playing skills are outrageous. Chris Stapleton is pure genius. I love you both, and your reactions are awesome bud. Keep up the great work 👍.

[@shizzzybee]

Thank you so much for this, because I've never heard this song before. I love Chris's voice, and I will be adding this to my playlist. BTW, love your videos!

[@BillnYou1]

I love this song since it came out on the live version at Filmore East in 1970 i was just 8 years old .. i come from a family of 8 kids .. i am number 7 .. second to youngest .. and our house was full of music and musicians , so much great music came out back then .. loved this reaction i love Chris he is incredible and lots of credit to the band here .. as smooth as this song is .. it still has tons of energy and dynamics musically , they brought it! Be safe Jamel .. God Bless you and yours.

[@43wolverine]

That. Was. Epic. Good Lord. I'm a black guy and Southern Rock was always in my playlist. Others use to laugh when I told them THIS is our roots. BB King and Chuck Berry would love Chris.

[@joelcamp5445]

Chris.....just an amazing job! His voice is so perfect for this song.✌️

[@YAYA0486]

Every time I hear this man sing, I get goosebumps. He’s so much better when you see him perform live.

[@mwallace2337]

OMG New heights even for Stapleton. This is intergalactic!

[@ericmark472]

Man this gave me goosebumps almost all the way through. Words can't describe how good this is.

[@yzenynot]

"..that man's voice.." yup. you said it all.

[@CryssLuvsMuzik]

OMG! I NEVER thought anyone could or SHOULD try this at home! 🤯 Yes, thousand times! Who's on guitar? He's doing THAT! All of Musicians handled that eponymous and intricate piece of music. I'm hooked, Chris Stapleton! Whew!

[@paulaantonelli1370]

THe guy on guitar is none other than the amazing Kenny Greenberg. Look him up - you won't be disappointed. And check out his wife, Ashley Cleveland, singing Gimme Shelter. Makes Mick Jagger sound wimpy...she's like a foot off the mic with a powerhouse voice.

[@paulaantonelli1370]

Kenny is also playing on Bonnie Raitt's latest album - Just Like That

[@cre8tivone]

Mr. Stapleton is the perfect blend of vocal Power, Passion and Purity!!! 👏😃

[@heydayma10513]

Gifted AAA

[@janetmayer3562]

I just saw Chris last week in concert - so darn good! His band, his wife, Morgane up on stage with him singing harmony, all were excellent!

[@MrJoRobb]

GOAT! Chris Stapleton is IMO top 5 best vocalist to ever the grace the stage at any point in history. This man can sang your womans drawers off for you gentlemen!

There have been great singers throughout time. But, then Chris comes along to remind you what "sangin' " is all about. Cuts you to the core!

[@connieamos6038]

Also, may I just add, I hate watching videos alone. You my friend, make them much more enjoyable. Peace!

[@patriciawarren312]

When Gregg sang it came from his heart had feelings that no one can copy

[@mondoseguendo6113]

@Patricia Warren I agree with you 100%. Gregg’s voice had a weight to it.

[@hite9134]

Sure no one can copy an original but come on now...Stapletons voice blows Greg's out of the water. The sheer power & control killed this cover. Plus you cant say Chris doesnt put feeling behind his covers/music. Nobody else like Stapleton on this planet.

[@SCgarcia1983]

I can agree that no one else is like Chris Stapleton...he’s a hot new number and his voice is soulful and 100% unique. He did no disrespect to this song whatsoever. I’m gonna stop short of absolutely giving you my full opinion on your statement that his voice blows Greg’s out of the water. I’ll only say that’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard, and will be done with that. When Stapleton gets done touring the world for 50+ years, makes a solo soulful album he knows will be released just after his death, and sits near the top of every hall of fame...then we can talk. You say Chris puts so much effort into his covers. How about the one who wrote, sang, and made that one of the greatest blues rock songs of all time?

[@bobbyheath2474]

Stapleton singing it was better than Gregg

[@SCgarcia1983]

Better than Gregg 😂😂😂

[@vixybanker]

Thanks for turning me on to this video. I am a HUGE Allman Bros. fan and to hear Chris sing one of my faves was outstanding, Gregg thought so as well. I saw them twice, once in NY's "Avery Fischer Hall" (Lincoln Center).

[@raywescovich8711]

Insane I agree with you no one better than Chris to do this cover

[@michaelnelson1128]

Nobody can touch this man he is Perfection

[@runswithwolves61]

I absolutely love Chris Stapleton and his work. HOWEVER: 1. I'm 72. 2. Whipping Post has long been a major part of the soundtrack of my life. 3. My thoughts when I became aware of Stapleton's cover: "Youngblood better come correct.". My reaction: "YES! Chris did that!" Thank you so much, Jamel, for posting this!

[@jameshubbard1071]

The Allman Brothers Band has been my favorite for years. Jamal's reaction to the original Whipping Post is how I got turned on to Jamel aka Jamal's station. I love watching his reactions to these songs I grew up on. Jamel is on an amazing musical journey of the best musical era with such an open mind. That's the way to listen to music! Don't see skin color, don't see genre boundaries, just take it all in! I do LOVE THIS STATION! Anyway I sure did get sidetracked here, this reaction is a yr ago or so. Idk probably too late to comment. It was my first seeing Chris do the Allmans & Gregg there watching it too, pretty cool, yep.

[@gayleash9712]

I'm sure Chris Stapelton did this song as an homage to Gregg Allman as Gregg was in the audience!

[@cavecookie1]

Gutsy thing to do! If it had been me instead of Chris, I probably would be too scared to mess it up, that I couldn't even sing it! But, then again, I think Chris might be a little better singer than me! LOL!

[@mariabrady4031]

This whole Skyville Live concert was an ABB tribute. They had Little Big Town there, among others playing covers, and Gregg even got up and sang along.

[@d4mdcykey]

This was fantastic. This song has so much brilliant musical history behind it: The Allman Brothers, Frank Zappa, and now Chris Stapleton....WOW.

[@kalanirobb54]

Chris is the only act that I will spend the cash required to see him live .I cannot wait.He transcends genre human beings can't turn away from the soulful magic that comes from everything he touches! Plus the man is a humble decent human being.ty chris!

[@bozeeke]

One of my favorite artists doing one of my favorite Allman Brothers song! Very cool! Thanks for posting!

The BEST cover EVER! WOW! But no surprise... it IS Chris Stapleton! I’m a huge ABB fan and he did this PERFECTLY ♥️

[@jenniferyorgan4215]

Love your reaction. You should have never doubted, if anyone, could do this song justice, it's Chris Stapleton. If anyone could do any of Allman Brother's songs justice, it's Chris Stapleton.

[@thomashummel6207]

imagine hearing this for the first time, played back in September of 1970 .. great video and thanks for caring on generations of music

[@StevenEverett7]

Thanks for reacting to this Jamal. As soon as I saw the title of the vid I knew it was going to be amazing. Cheers, Steve

[@systolic410]

I know this is a classic "guitar" song, but I feel like it's the keys and bass that make this. Chris kills it though!

[@jamelakajamal]

I feel you I’m just here for Chris 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@2HRTS1LOVE]

The bass is so evil it's good, lol.

[@scottferrell2806]

I definitely agree on the bass, sounds a shark coming to eat you up with musicality!

[@SCgarcia1983]

Why is this a guitar song? Just curious and not being smug about it. I’ve never looked at it that way. “Jessica” is the ultimate guitar song. I can’t be driving and listening to that song under 85 MPH...Dangerous. Whipping post equally dangerous, but it’s cause my eyes were closed listening to the keys, as you both said. This song was written and sung by the pianist, and the organ is so prevalent in every version ever done. Does a guitar drown a piano and does a general crowd prefer guitar? The answers to those are yes...but this one is for Gregg and his keys.

[@colinstewart7722]

@@jamelakajamal I dont know if you've heard the version by Frank Zappa but i'd love to hear what you think of that

[@katemccrea6963]

He seriously is a once in a generation talent. He could sing anything and make it sound amazing. Can you react to Delta Rae's Bottom of the River? If you like Chris, you'll love this group. They're southern gothic rock and have a real down home dirty rock with a little bit of country sound.

[@gwmcklintock]

I still prefer Gregg Allman's voice but that was an excellent version! Even though he didn't do the whole song, another really outstanding version was Bo Bice during American Idol!

[@susankeller4170]

Gw Mcklintock I have to agree with you! The Allman’s version is just a little dirtier and grittier and that’s what this song needs! Chris has such an amazing voice, but it’s almost refined next to Greg’s!

[@SGTJDerek]

When you're talking about The Allman Brothers, much like Skynyrd, very few can compare BUT Chris has proven he can cover anybody but it's always HIM. He doesn't try to imitate. Just pay tribute and he is so damn talented it never comes off as a Rip Off.

[@trashedbodomguy]

I'm a new fan of Chris Stapleton but long time fan of the Allman Brothers. Whippin' Post is one of my all time fave songs. Thanks for sharing this. Far too often ya hear of someone remaking/covering a song and ya just groan thinking how messed up it can get, but Chris delivers. I'd love to hear him in a duet with Lzzy Hale from Halestorm or Dorothy Martin from Dorothy. Lzzy performed with Eric Church at CMA Music Fest 2014 His song is "That's Damn Rock and Roll" She knocked them out

[@mesmith01]

One of my favourite songs of all time. Chris rocked it!

[@angusmcdugal1]

Not only did the "Country Boy" do that song, he most likely wrote it. Check out one of Chris's first bands the Jompson Brothers and that song fits in perfectly with what they were doing.
