Legend COMMITTED "Hilarious" CRIME In Order to RECORD This Rock Classic at 3 AM! | Professor of Rock

[@ProfessorofRock]

Poll: What is your pick for the greatest song to come from "SOUTHERN ROCK" Song or a Southern Band?

[@Sweet--Richard.4981]

Jessica. The Allman Bros

[@Code.Name.V]

CCR - Have You Ever Seen the Rain? England Dan/Jon Ford Coley - Nights Are Forever Without You Poco - In the Heart of the Night

He Grandma tells her she was on the Allman Bros. bus on their first tour when she was dating Dwayne. Then they start singing Midnight Rider. It's such a funny scene.

[@ZeldaBaby999]

Adam, I wanted to thank you for your content, your show is lots of fun and you've got many keen insights into the songs and artists of our times. I'm replying on this particular story because I WAS THERE! I was a teenager in High School and I was there when they recorded Live at the Filmore East! It was EPIC! We went to the second show and it was so amazing! I don't recall who the warm up was, but when they started they just didn't stop! They played Whippin' Post for almost an hour! The energy was infectious, the whole place was lit up with excitement as we passed, you know, from person to person down the rows! We didn't know they were recording a LIVE Album. We entered the Filmore at about 11:00pm and we were let out after 5:30am! It was light out when we came stumbling out of the building! WOW! What an experience! Incidentally, several years later I worked as a Psychiatric Nursing Supervisor in a Private Psychiatric Hospital in Connecticut, which catered to Show Business, wealthy people, and top Executives. We worked with quite a few very famous celebrities, which of course I'm not allowed to divulge. But they know they were there! Visitors such as Meryl Streep and Dickie Betts were some I met, and since they were not my patients I can tell you at least that much!

[@carlwalker1623]

My cool Allman Brothers story, they were playing 2 nights in Detroit and I had a ticket for the first show. Unfortunately I was out of town with my dad for his business and got back that night. The next night I went down and knocked on the side door where the tour bus was parked, and their manager opened the door. I told him my story of woe, and he let me in and said don’t make me regret it. I told him I wouldn’t. That was in 90, I believe.

One of the perks of Close Quarters Hotel was having the limo ride all to yourself. When they picked me up at BNA the driver asked if I minded waiting for another passenger because there was no turnaround time. Oh, and there's a bar in the back of the car. Sure, no problem. Twenty-five minutes later the door opened and in sat Gregg Allman. We toasted limos! 🎸

[@romeyp]

It's one of my all-time favorite songs, period.

[@pistolpeteOH]

Actually, Gregg did attend the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame ceremony. He regretted that all he did was thank his brother Duane in one very simple sentence. He realized at that point that he really wasted an opportunity would never come by again. I’ve actually been to The Big House and Rosehill Cemetery twice. The first time I went was just after Gregg died and about two days before he was to be buried. My second visit was just this past September. If you are a fan of The Allman Brothers Band, it is worth stopping by. There was nothing quite like an Allman Brothers band concert! The band members were just one by one and pick up their instruments. Gregg would then count them into the first song, which ideally was Dont Want You No More/ It’s Not My Cross To Bear. I always thought that was one of the greatest concert openers ever!

[@DC8091]

I found a 2nd print (still on Capricorn) of Idlewild South @ Wynwood in Miami a few years back, it’s in a frame on my wall! I love this album, Please Call Home is by far the masterpiece on that, & on Greg’s first solo album to! 🤘 (it ain’t Black Hearted Woman but it gives it a hell of a fight!)

"Midnight Rider" was one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar. My teacher from 1995 to 2001, Steve Bernstein, showed it to me. My favorite performance of it is from the Allman Brothers Band's 3-song set during the Concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame near the beginning of that stretch of time. The lineup was Greg, Dicky, Butch, Alan Woody (all sorely missed), Jamioe, Warren Haynes, Marc Quiṅones and Sheryl Crow guest singing on "Midnight Rider". It sounded fantastic on video, even though later reports were that Greg had no memory of being at that concert or performing. That's tragic to imagine, considering he seemed altogether present and in control.

Yeah, that song was a deal closer. I heard the Allman Bros but never really listened. My older brother usually was in the moment of all the great bands. I being still preteen mixed my love of music with playing in the neighborhood. Midnight Rider obviously was great with a solid hook. Idlewild set me on a lifetime of great enjoyment with the Allman Bros music. It just got better and better, even after the devastating loses of the two GREAT members. Duane and Berry. I did lose interest a little during the later years of 70/80s. BUT,...in the 90s they totally redeemed with Where it all Begins. I was really happy to hear that familiar sound with such authenticity. A true comeback few achieve. Gregg, is one of my favorite voices in all music. The world is less without them all. But they all live on in my FLAC library and on my turntable and tv.

As Classic Rock as it gets, with so much blues rock, genuine, and a jazz feel too. Q: Who created the guitar hook in Midnight Rider?

Great tribute, Professor! ABB is my favorite band of all time, British or American. Their peak output was cut short because of tragedy, but what a peak it was. IMO, their greatness was unparalleled, and the Fillmore album is a testament to that. When I saw the thumbnail to this video, I thought you might be referring to "The Outlaws". There is a very sad, poignant story revolving around the lyrics to Green Grass and High Tides. The story goes, they were written by an individual who was "associated" with the band but never given proper credit. I think there may be enough for one of your "deep dives"!

ABB - my all - time favorite band!

One of my cousins competed in a battle of the bands in Macon, Ga before the Allman Bros became famous. My cousin's band lost to them that day because the drummer never stopped after the band got thru singing. My cousin lives in Mauk, Ga.

i didn’t start appreciating the Allman Brothers well into my 40’s. i regret not really listening to them earlier. Their song Melissa is a masterpiece.

The song is phenomenal. It was popular back when I was dating my first love. We used to go to a club called The Holiday House in Tampa, FL. The house band was The Moles. They were mostly an Allman Brothers cover band and played the ABB well. After leaving the club, we'd go to my boyfriend's house and watch SNL and Midnight Special on TV. Those were the days!

Professor! No mention of the story behind the alternate version of the Fillmore East album cover you put up😂😂😂

I have always loved this song. I was only 10 when this song came out and it had a tremendous effect on me. RIP Gregg.
