Allman Brothers Band - Dreams (Live at the Beacon Theater)

The Allman Brothers Band at the Beacon Theater in 2013 play Dreams.

[@DaveLaMont1]

Unbelievable how they started with Duane and Dickey and finished with Derek and Warren. Brilliant bookends. Of all the rock deaths over the last 4-5 years, it's Gregg I miss the most.

[@scottsaulnier5530]

Amen! Gregg has been a huge loss to me! My all time favorite vocalist by far! There just isn't anybody else out there like him at all! He's the artist that brought a lot of feeling along with everything he sang!!I could really feel him no matter what he was singing!!

[@dianadubuque5296]

For sure my brother

[@The_regulators]

I visited the Rose Cemetery last Sept during GABBAFest and saw the whole family visiting the graves during that time. Both sad and invigorating as I could hear the older generation telling the grandchildren about the band. Happens every year. Google it, it would be worth your while. I am heading back this year.

[@kevinbieker8389]

Seven years ago today Gregg passed away. Rest In Peace.

[@maddman18210]

The Memories of this song can sometimes bring me to tears. If you have never experienced Real Southern Rock, Start Here. Nothing will ever replicate or duplicate this music. Period!

[@kebobradley582]

Amen.This stuff is spiritual.

[@kebobradley582]

This song,stands shoulder to shoulder with any rock song,ever.They had a sound,that will never be replicated.Half decade later,it's still fresh.peace

[@debraberg1763]

Have never seen this performance before. Blows my mind. I can’t turn it up loud enough. Astonishing musicianship.

[@kevinelliott5823]

Holy crap! Derek’s guitar sounds other worldly!!! 🔥

[@booboopanda7204]

What a performance! Most amazing thing about Gregg is that his voice stayed so strong - he was one of the most authentic artists/voices in the entire history of blues, jazz, and rock. We miss him so much already and yes, even a little panda like me loves me some Gregg and da Bros. RIP precious Gregory.

[@ryanhallwrites]

It's truly amazing considering the hell he put his body through with his addictions and liver problems. Every note he ever sang came from his heart. One of my biggest regrets was never getting to see him or the Brothers live.

[@evilmonkey63]

Not to mention the little known tragedy of his father, a US Naval officer being murdered in Norfolk VA around Christmas when he was a child. God rest the brothers and family.

[@patrickhite3026]

The song of my life since I was 13 years old..I'm 61 & it's still the soundtrack of my life...The song had long legs..I still drift away to someplace I love..yep.🎸🍄🍑🎸

[@scalemiester]

Right with ya, brother. I'm 61 too. And the 'Beginnings' version got me through a couple really tough semesters of high school back in the 70's, almost single handed. But this version is superb. I can't watch it without sobbing tears of joy. That raw slide seems to yank every emotion I've ever had and dangle them in front of me. As if to say, "Hey! Ain't nuthin' but a thang!"

[@paulkelly154]

Mine, too. I'm almost 60.

[@tahoelodi]

Patrick - I am with you on this.....

[@randycampbell9809]

Me to brother

[@jeannie2548]

Love this song, even at 65, still jamming out to it. Timeless!!

[@CBeauford]

One of the greatest live performances EVER. Derek's solo was otherworldly.

[@aldofromsf]

Was lucky enough to see ABB live play Dreams back in the 70s. But this version blows me away! RIP brother Gregg. ❤

[@moondog2032]

This song is totally timeless

[@do4-self314]

In my opinion the allman brothers band is the GOAT.

[@susanwiltermood798]

I'm 66 and it brings me right back to my roots. I absolutely love, love this song. The blues are the best genre ever. If you don't get it, your missing out on life.

[@markhill9275]

Love this song, but as to the blues are the best, perhaps rethink that. I love trad Jazz as well, Sunday mornings are always Johann Strauss, and of course then there is always The Fab Four and Zeppelin that rise above the pack. Given that i love Dickeys songs and his melodic playing. Again i love the music of Ballet. In other words, open your ears and heart to all forms, music is the backdrop of life. If you love blues the best, awesome, that you love music so much, but there is no best, like saying so an so is the best guitarist, it's not a competition. Might i suggest you spend next Sunday morning listening to The Blue Danube Waltz!😊

[@coscomktg]

One of the best live versions ever, Duane would be proud as he wanted to incorporate Jazz into the band

[@tooyoungtodie1958]

Went to watch The Allman/Betts Band recently. They ended the show with a very long version of Dreams. I must say they did a damn good job. I lost myself in the song remembering back when I saw Allman Brothers do this.

[@williamclayton7343]

This band has been in my top two since I was 14. Now at 66 I still long the song. And the new band hasn’t has a thing, best Southern Rock band of all time. The addition of horns is a great supplement.

[@terryb.9719]

Who is your #1 band, if I may ask:)

[@williamclayton7343]

@@terryb.9719 CSN and Young.

[@philipmartell6321]

Drums and bass kept it tight and in the pocket, Bravo, Allman Brothers way ahead of their time.

[@cathystruska1558]

In my lifetime back in the 80's I saw the Allman Brothers in Chicago. I'm 64 now. It brings back great memories. Back then when we were just kids, we used to say that Gregg Allman played the guitar 🎸 so fast his fingers blurred! On stage it was fast, but it didn't look like his fingers blurred. They put on the best concert ever! If you ever had a chance to see them, it's a great experience and will always bring a 😃 smile. Oh....the memories will always stay with you for a lifetime.

[@BobMacNeal]

Like other Allman Brothers fans from the early 1970s, I'm thankful that today we have Derek Trucks to carry it all forward in the form or the Tedeschi Trucks Band (and Warren Haynes in his band as well). There's are few voices as soulful as Gregg's was, but I'm also thankful for what Susan Tedeschi's voice, fronting TTB, brings to the Allman Brothers' musical progeny.

[@alfonsogonzales8918]

Maestros!!, espectaculares, virtuosidad y genialidad todo junto, magníficos.

4/28/70 I was a 'student' at SUNY Stony Brook, a Thursday night mind you..........and there was a concert in our gym ( that normally holds ~ 2000), and as such, only ~ 300 showed up. As a student, we all paid an activities fee, which meant all Concerts were gratus On the Bill, were the headliners 'Chicago' and a band no one ever heard of: The Allman Brothers Being the 'student' that I mentioned I was........I had nothing better to do, so I attended..........a double set show, with Chicago playing last. I remember sitting in the Audience Right bleachers almost at top....on the 180 degree line up from the riser stage. I don't have any memory of the 1st set of either band, but it was decent enough that I did decide to stay put for the second show from both. I'm assuming Chicago wanted to get out of 'dodge', as they played 1st to start the 2nd show, and then the Bro's followed! What I do remember, is by the end for the encore, me and ~ 50 other kids were all that were left, and I had come down off the Bleachers to 'boogie' right in front of the stage, to The Mountain Jam ! etc Changed my Musical LIFE to this day ! I'm still a HUGE fan of Duane and the Bros, and saw then a few times then before Duane passed, as well as Derek and the Bros a few times in their last years, as well as the PPV MSG 3/10/20 , ( a few days before NYC was Locked down ) which if you've not seen TRY TO ! You WON'T regret the $ outlay for the recording of the PPV! Trust me ! I had 4 heros back then, Jimi ( whom I also saw at school as well: OMG ), Eric, Jerry, and Duane. I play'd and still play guitar and those were/are my 'teachers' still. One of my 'piece de resistance' onemanband efforts is the Mt Jam ( go figure - LOL )

[@murphy52]

OMG, Butch and Oteil absolutely crush it during Derek's solo!

[@johnnyrondo709]

Right on !

[@christopherholland9999]

Driving down the road not paying much attention, just being mesmerized by this awesome tune.

[@dianemtuttle2107]

Can't get enough of this particular version!

[@kathygrabowski7764]

Love Gregg Allman and the brothers, the best ever!!

[@johnkaraphillis754]

Like Bill Grahman from the fabled Fillmore said “the greatest of them all”. Very fortunate to be at the Beacon in 2013. Every Allman devoted follower strived to make the Beacon run. At 67 years old they still move my soul since ‘72

[@staceycruz1016]

My favorite song by the brothers....

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Truly , doesn't get much better.

[@Slimjim260]

The best blues song ever written & composed.

[@robertstewart407]

its certainly great but I'd have to say Stormy Monday is still the best!

[@wingivy1797]

Missing you Brother Gregg! May your spirit dwell in us all through your songs!

[@MoonStar-fq6oy]

Oh MyMy I have heard this song several times,but as I listen it's like I have never heard it before Life is Changing ✌️❤️

[@paulmcd226]

This is Duane’s vision…….the best of American music

[@mikem1509]

INCREDIBLE! whatever you're music genre whatever you especially prefer you have to admit that this is just about as good as it gets.

[@oonojoe]

I Sobered up in 1993 to this music! 30 Years later it means more to me now! Thank You ABB.

[@d.mcdave8880]

Damn, that was so good. 14 minutes of pure goodness, guitars so sweet.

[@JayJoJonny]

Derek Trucks, an inspired slide guitar player, solo on this live performance is incendiary 🔥

Absolutely love this version.

[@SPEEDBOATMANIAC410]

** I saw them at the Beacon live 10 years back and I gotta say ... I know they love to Jam, but when they do the Mainstream Hits is when I well up with chills and really feel Gregg's music in my soul. My wife walked out 15 minutes into a Over-Jam. I was like dang .... yeah it was a little much. GOD Speed Gregg and GOD Bless.

[@johnnyrondo709]

I would have givin anything to have been there. is that the one they aired on Showtime? I was blown away. derrick and Warren were mesmerizing however the whole band was incredible. Gonna miss them all. Check out Allman Betts band. Dwayne's son and Dickie's son. Take care

[@dianemtuttle2107]

Saw them in Atlanta 1974 - amazing!

[@andymelendez9757]

Good Lord didn’t think they could top themselves! Maurice was fire and really everybody was other level. Thank God truly for these soulful magical human beings.

[@kaceymckown1657]

[@dwaynewladyka577]

This is very cool. May Butch Trucks rest in peace.

Doesn't get much better than The Allman Brothers. Saw Gregg Allman at the Ryman a couple years ago. Going to see him in Chattanooga this year. Would love to see the whole band perform again.

[@joycemaynard8694]

Love The Allman Brothers Band and Love Gregg going solo .Gregg ,Duane,Berry and Butch are loved and missed by many .Derek has been withGregg on and off since he was a younger boy .Derek reminds me of Duane at times .I believe Duane and Berry would be pleased if they were all alive today to see how far there music went ..Love them all miss them all …

[@fahqracing6363]

I'm 48 years old and the biggest regret in my life at this point is not seeing the ABB live. Had a ticket to see them somewhere in the 90's and blew it off.... Bad move. I wish I could go back in time to see the original lineup in 71'.

[@greenman7612]

FAHQ Racing - so would many others! I did see them twice in 1971 one while Duane was with us, one in December. I’d love to have more detailed memories of those shows. I do have a copy of the first show in 1972 that I attended. Syracuse.

[@stevenpisauro8698]

You Infact messed up with that call! I’m 20 and I’ve seen them 7 times thank you to my father.

[@kevinelliott5823]

So glad I made it to a few shows at the Beacon in late 90’s.

[@halfaday1]

Just one more mornin, I had to wake up with the blues. Pulled myself out of bed, yeah, put on my walkin shoes. And went up on the mountain, to see what I could see. The whole world was fallin, right down in front of me. 'Cause I've a hunger for the dreams I'll never see, yeah, baby. Ah, help me baby, or, or this will surely be the end of me, yeah. Pull myself together, put on a new face. Climb down off the hilltop, baby, get back in the race. Lord, cause I've a hunger for dreams I'll never see, yeah, babe. Lord, help me baby, or, this will surely be the end of me, yeah. Pull myself together, put on a new face. Climb down off the hilltop, baby, and get back in the race. 'Cause I've a hunger for the dreams I'll never see, yeah, baby. Ah, help me baby, or, or this will surely be the end of me, yeah.

[@johnfenwick7641]

I miss you Greggory it has been a long Road since 69 I wouldn’t trade a minute it

[@ryanhallwrites]

One of the biggest regrets I have is never seeing either Gregg or the brothers perform live. I just love this. Despite the hell Gregg put his body through, his voice still had the soul and snap it always had. And love the Miles Davis lick that Oteil plays during much of this song. And Derek and Warren, what else can be said? Those two are gold! What a performance by an amazing bunch of performers.

[@pixelplume]

can't remember what Miles track that is.....

[@paulareid7478]

Such a sweet Southern gentleman at his core..I loved to watch him just jam.. he get lost.. and so would I..a lifetime ago. Gregory loved Muscle Shoals, and to record his last album, "Southern Blood" here was so bittersweet. As a singer/songwriter I've ALWAYS said TWO things in life make your back arch.. and ONE of them is a GREAT SONG.. Gregory definitely made your back arch❤🎵🎤🎹🎸🍑🍄🎶💞

[@michaelp.2842]

I HAVE NO WORDS !!!!! THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@barbararoberge5874]

One of my favorite concert in the 90's in New York City off the Hudson Bay was Greg Allman , Stevie Ray Vaughan and Charlie Daniels​.

I was there too. But i think it was the late 80s? Steive Ray died in 90

I like that story of how Gregg had moments when he'd see Derek play and have eerie flashbacks and think it was really Duane again.

The liner notes (actually on the inside of the double album fold) describes this song so perfectly.
