The Allman Brothers Band- 1st Time Reaction!- The Whipping Post

[@arroyo284]

Greg was an incredible vocalist. I mean he was 20 years old when they recorded this, and he has the voice of a 50 year old blues singer. Best American band ever. Their star burned brightly.

[@ugadawgs1990]

This band created southern rock. They were the forerunners to pioneer the sound of rock with blues & gospel flavoring.

[@WMalven]

You guys hit the originals. Before Lynyrd Skynyrd, before Marshall Tucker, before Molly Hatchet, ther was The Allman Brothers Band. Lead singe and keyboardist Gregg Allman, slide guitarist Duane Allman, second lead guitarist Dickey Betts, Bassist Barry Oakley, Jaimoe Johanson Drums, Butch Trucks Drums…yep, 2 drummers. Best songs “Stormy Monday,” “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed,” “Melissa,” “One Way Out.” “Soul Shine, and many others. Live is generally to be preferred, because they are a jam band and the live venue allows them room to improvise.

[@kennethbrown5164]

And "Jessica", "Blue Sky", "Revival", "Statesboro Blues".

[@Bluesky5553]

You have heard the Allman Brothers, trust me. A lot of their songs are used by several famous people. They featured two of the best guitarists who ever lived, with Duane Allman being perhaps the best slide guitarist who ever played the instrument and second lead guitarist Dickie Betts being one of the most melodic players who ever lived.. Younger brother Greg is the main vocalist who played the keyboards on most of their songs. They were the beginning of true southern rock and paved the way for other southern rock bands like Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, 38 Special, and the Charlie Daniels Band. They formed in Jacksonville originally as the Allman Joys then added Dickie Betts to form The Allman Brothers Band. Check out The Allman Brother Live at Fillmore East 1969 for the best live southern rock music you ever heard.

Need to watch the live version of whipping post from the Filmore East live album

[@davidboivin7996]

With their roots in blues, gospel and jazz, they created a sound that originated Southern Rock. Their Live Album at Filmore East is one the greatest of all time.

[@rexkimberley9537]

Great band. Great song. I graduated in 1974 so this is the music I grew up with. I feel like I was lucky enough to grow up at the best time for music (although I am a bit bias). This band will give you a lot to listen too. All amazing. Thank you two for what you do. I always enjoy our time together. Keep going. You haven't even scratched the surface yet. It will be a good ride. Love from TEXAS. Midnight Rider and Statesboro Blues by these guys is two of my favorites.

[@Rick-or2kq]

Greg Allman played keys and sang, his bother Duane played lead guitar along with Dicky Betts. There is live version of this on YT take the time to watch it, well worth it.

[@Zeb-gb2uk]

Greg Allman got the idea for this song in the middle of the night and was unable to find a pen or paper to write with so he wrote it down on an ironing board with the end of burnt matchsticks he was 21 years old. Duane " Sky Dog " Allman was considered one of the greatest guitarist that ever lived. The Allman Brothers have much great music to listen to 🤘✌️❤️

[@davidfoucher9098]

I saw the Allman Brothers in Nashua New Hampshire they played whipping post and soulshine one of the best concerts I ever went to and I went to a lot

[@kellydavis4571]

Soul Shine in another great song from them!

[@johnk275]

Another great reaction! Chris Stapleton does a cover of “Whipping Post” while Greg Allman was in the audience and he gave Chris a standing ovation. Keep up the good work! 👍👍

[@stephenpresley5772]

Great song and reaction

[@chitownlee]

You guy's need to check out the live video of this song from their concert at the Fillmore East 1971.

[@jimglenn6972]

This a rock anthem. Very famous. I once heard Greg Allman play. He was fantastic. If you like the raspy voice, then you need to hear Janis Joplin. Ball and Chain, Summertime, Piece of My Heart are stellar!

[@badwolf1587]

When you guys are ready to open up a new world of music,,,We'll be here waiting for you to TAKE THE DIVE WITH REN!

[@billspivey6919]

Found you a few days ago. You're doing good, Keep working. I'll enjoy watching your channel grow.

[@danielslover8669]

You hit the nail on the head. Greg Allman, the singer, was also playing keyboards!

[@lloydanderson1486]

You need to hear the Live Version

[@tonydagostino6158]

Yes, Allman Brothers predated Skynyrd but several years. Sadly most of this amazing band has passed on but there is a terrific reincarnation in the Tedeschi-Trucks Band of today. Butch Trucks was one of the drummers in the Allman Bros. and his nephew Derek Trucks features with his wife Susan Tedeschi to play modern southern rock and all the blues classics including Allman Bros hits.

[@rogerdodger6025]

The Allman Betts Band too.

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

I live just a few miles from the Allman Brothers Big House/museum in Macon Georgia where they created that great southern rock sound & Macon is also where Lil Richard was the Architect of Rock n Roll & Otis Redding the godfather of soul! Many greats recorded here at Capricorn Studios & hope you dive deep into the category! So glad I got to live thru that era & see these bands ✌💖☮

[@clifton8929]

Listen to In Memorey Of Elizabeth Reed (Live at the Fillmore East). There is a Video that highlights their amazing guitar sound.

[@Rick-or2kq]

That a Stormy Monday are my favorite.

[@musicguy694]

Guys, please check out their performance of this song (*Allman brothers whipping post fillmore east 1971) you have to see them live.

[@bassburd1]

How about some love For "Molly Hatchet" another great southern rock band. I think the most underrated

[@angelmontgomery6168]

The Allman Brothers Band original line up was Gregg Allman on keyboards and vocals, his big brother Duane on lead and slide guitar, Dickie Betts on lead guitar and vocals (yes, two lead guitars), Barry Oakley on bass, Jaimoe (I don't remember his real name) and Butch Trucks on drums (yes, two drummers). Gregg and Betts were the main song writers. In 1971, Duane was killed in a motorcycle accident. A year later, Oakley was also killed in a motorcycle accident. The band continued off and on until that 2000's. I know that Gregg, Betts and Trucks have also passed on, I'm not sure about Jaimoe. I saw them in an amazing concert in the New Haven Coliseum on New Year's Eve, 1979. They played a full concert, then after midnight, they came out and just jammed for about two hours. It was incredible. The next song you should do is "One Way Out". I also highly recommend "Soulshine" and "Not My Cross to Bear" and among so, so many others.

[@757optim]

The Allman Brothers were formed in Jacksonville Florida in 1969, home town of Lynyrd Skynyrd. What are the odds? (Note: Skynyrd was actually originally formed in 1964 as "My Back Yard" - followed by other short-lived names - and changed the name to Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1968. The first Skynyrd album was released in 1973 and the plane crash was in 1977, killing Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines and his sister Cassie.)

[@jlb6]

In the seventies concert scene, someone yelling whipping post was a thing at non Allman concert, probably inspired Frank Zappos’s cover

[@vicprovost2561]

The Allman Brothers were the first and the best of Southern Rock for me, several years ahead and slightly better, for me, than Lynyrd Skynyrd. This is one of their signature songs, you can view a live video of it and there is also a 20+ minute version on their Live at the Filmore legendary live album. They have many great songs to react to, enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶🔥 Wait until you hear this on headphones, 2 guitars and 2 drums, the stereo spacing is amazing...

[@jlb6]

In Swee Home Alabama, there is a line in Muscle Shoals they got the Swampers,. This is a reference to the famous studios band in the Muscle Shoals Alabama studio band. Duane Allman played with the Swampers on Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and a number of artists. Somebody Loan Me A Dime is a classic Boz Scaggs tune where Duane killls the guitar…..Duane also played on the Derek and the Dominoes Lyla session and Duane plays the lead rift….. and on the slide no one better (with apologies to Derek Trucks whose uncle drummed for the Allmans

[@VanGreen-c1g]

The Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd were friends, in fact LS guitarist Gary Rossington learned some of his slide guitar skills from the Allmans and LS dedicated their song "Free Bird" to the Allman brothers...

[@KennyRansom-l5k]

When you said "The best songs aren't long enough ..." Well with The Allman Brothers Band your wish can be granted easily . On their In The United States Library of Congress album , "Live at Fillmore East" , the song "Whipping Post" takes up an entire album side . This was only part though of an hour long jam that starts with the Song "You Don't Love Me" (takes up another full album side ) which segues into "Whipping Post" and that in turn segues into "Mountain Jam" which takes up 2 sides of their album "Eat a Peach" . As I said the songs flow directly into one another so the band played for an Hour+ with no breaks . The Original Allman Brothers Band is Duane Allman & Dickey Betts on Guitar , Gregg Allman on Keyboards & Vocals , Berry Oakley on Bass and Jaimoe & Butch Trucks on drums . Butch is the uncle of current slide guitar master Derek Trucks who leads The Tedeschi-Trucks band with his wife Susan Tedeschi . Derek was recruited to The Allman Brothers Band in 1999 at the ripe old age of 20 and was with them until the band called it a day in 2014. If you don't know who Derek is , you should .

The Watking Glen NY shoe with the The Band, the Allman Brothers, and the Grateful Dead drew 600,000. For a long time the biggest festival. Greg Allman married Cher and they had one child Elijah Blue Allman. Taste change and people turned away fro jazz inspired blues rock to dance vibes

[@roddanger80]

You should check out the live version of this (or others) from their fillmore east concert in '71. Lead guitarist Duane Allman died a few months later. Gregg Allman is the lead singer and keyboardist.

[@tawnitegal5050]

duane (rip) on guitar, greg on keyboard. these guys were forerunners of the genre.

[@merlepedigo3994]

Good job, another one of Southern Rock Royalty

[@ktwebbdevil]

Lynyrd Skynyrd was definitely influenced by the Allman Brothers who came a couple of years earlier! Both bands came from the Jacksonville area and we're very much aware of each other and even did some gigs together

[@PsychedelicCharleston-r7j]

Widespread Panic is “nephew” of allman brothers. If you like this widespread panic is for you. Butch trucks played drums for allmans his nephew Duane Trucks (named after Duane allman) plays drums now for widespread

[@brenthenderson3983]

Live at the Fillmore East... 1971... pick any song, One Way Out, or In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, which is quite long, or a host of others..

[@petermorgan5303]

Gotta listen to Blue Sky by the Allman Bros. Great guitar solos

[@mattrotton]

Being from Alabama.... that sounds like Texas Alabama really cracked me up. Spoiler alert... Way more than 2 brothers. There's a whole band. They're from Jacksonville Florida. Home of Skynyrd, Tom Petty, Shinedown, JJ grey kinda sorta, and a few others I'm forgetting about. These guys probably were more influential than Skynyrd I hate to say. Probably because of longevity. Skynyrd was cut short. Check out Soulshine. My favorite Allman brothers song. It really will make your soul shine and brighten your day. Getting used to these good reactions. Don't set the bar too high. We'll expect it every time. Lol

[@leopresnell8653]

Yes there are numerous members of this group . 7or8

Not long enough, try what is considered by mand as the greatest live album ever The Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore. Good luck on this journey that just started. Duane Allman is top ten on damn near every list of best guitar players ever. Inspired Skynrd but a much more sophisticated band - In Memoery of Elizabet Reed, Statesboro Blues, Stormy Monday,, and Blue Sky would be a good start.

[@rogerdodger6025]

Try "One Way Out" by the Allman Brothers live video from the Fillmore 1971. You're welcome.

Should try 'ONE WAY OUT BY Allman brothers

[@thaidawg9231]

One Way Out is much better, check it out. Live at the Fillmore East.

[@brenthenderson3983]

Allow me to nitpick.. It's Whipping Post, not The Whipping Post..

[@jamescofer3261]

Greg and Duane Allman are brothers, and Duane died October 29, 1971. Greg is on vocals and organ. Duane is only one of the guitarists.

[@jamescofer3261]

The Allman Brothers Band was an American rock band formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1969.[3] Its founding members were brothers Duane Allman (slide guitar, lead guitar) and Gregg Allman (vocals, keyboards, songwriting), as well as Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (drums). Subsequently based in Macon, Georgia, they incorporated elements of blues, jazz and country music and their live shows featured jam band-style improvisation and instrumentals.
