Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZbin, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZbin. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZbin, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

I played this song to my wife on the night we were married, June 21 1980, and 4 children, 8 grandchildren and 43 years later we’re still in love

[@Rick-or2kq]

Congratulations! Me and my wife, 41 years married, two children, 3 grandchildren. "What a long, strange trip it's been", "with many a winding turn, that leads to who knows where." I am sure you remember the who of those lines.

[@mythicsin3083]

Cool…maybe I should have played it for my first wife…or my second…😳🤔

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Beautiful! That's the life 😊

[@Papabob1957]

Yeah it has been a long strange trip and I’m sure grateful we found each other when we did, I wish you and your family peace and love for all your days

[@Papabob1957]

@@ShawnSalvadori Thank you , I’ve been very lucky and I wish you the same , I really enjoy your videos Just a suggestion; try some more Ten Years After

[@insaneprepper2832]

The first part of the solo is played by Duane Allman; the second part is by Dickie Betts. Perfection!

[@user-xp5dv1me6e]

My No. 1 Allmans song. Makes me cry of joy every time!

[@douglascollman7341]

Exactly!!!!

[@barryfohn4385]

I bought this album (Eat A Peach) in 72. This is one of the really good songs that demonstrate how Duane could put an amazing lead against a simple three chord tune. My poor neighbors had to put up with me playing this with the volume maxxed out.

[@Roberta-my7qr]

RIP, Duane. Such a beautiful, happy song.

[@jonathonleifer4817]

This was written and sung by Dickie Betts. After Duane Allman died, Dickie gravitated to his roots, Country music, and is considered one of the best country guitarists ever.

[@JamesCole-ep4df]

Don’t mean to correct you, but Duane and Barry both played on this song. It was one of the last things Duane ever recorded.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Some of the best guitar work in the history of Rock.

[@jackndew2]

" Walk along the river, sweet lullaby". A great hiking song while walking through the woods and prairies. Serene and calming.

[@samuellord8576]

Thank you for a true and beautiful reaction! You get this music. RIP Duane Allman, his work with Dickie Betts was for the ages. This song is all-time.

[@skydogfan4671]

Loved your reaction to this great Allman Brothers song. I’ve been listening to this song for about 50 years, and I too still get goosebumps when I listen to it!

[@skydogfan4671]

Correction … about 40 years. If you have not reacted to their song Stormy Monday, I highly recommend you do. It’s arguably the greatest blues song of all time. Make sure it’s the version from their Fillmore East live album.

[@Brandi6666]

This here is a purdy song. These cats were at the top of their game🤘❤️

[@mc5943]

I've seen them over 50 times - they were the best live show I've ever seen

[@ericanderson8886]

There's a version of this song live from a concert at Stoneybrooke NY and Duane's solo is absolutely transcendent. If you love the song check out Stoneybrooke, it's great.

[@robertkelly6282]

Agree

[@DougWJ]

Duane's solo here is better.

[@1Imonk]

How many times has this has turned my blues to some silly stream lovin' grin in the woods

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Oh yeah, definitely has that power!

[@Rolling_Ronnie]

Eat A Peach encapsulates everything that was great about The Allman Brothers, from tight instrumentals and songs to jamming for a whole side on Donovan's 'There Is A Mountain'

[@yazmon4515]

Throughout the lives of people that follow music, no matter the genre, there will be pieces that become instant favorites. Some of those are forgotten as the years roll on, but some sit atop and always remain there. I first heard this song on FM radio while washing dishes at my first job back in 1972. From that night forward, it has remained at the top of my favorites and influenced my love of incredible guitar work ever since. Whenever I hear this come on, from my personal playlist or from somewhere else, (a reaction!), I have to stop what I'm doing and trip through the incredible guitar solos. The fact is, the Eat a Peach album produced more great tunes that caught my ear back in '72. The song, One Way Out has always battled along with Blue Sky to be at the top of my favorites list. Better check that one out.

[@mdh814]

One of the best leads of all time!! I have insisted that this song be played at my funeral!

[@ShawnSalvadori]

This is a "turn that frown upside down" kinda song! Just a happiness inducer

[@steveullrich7737]

Now, that's how it's done! Perfect from start to finish, beautiful lyrics and fantastic music and guitar solos.

[@victorsixtythree]

Two all-time great guitarists in the same band! (Duane Allman takes the first solo followed by Dickey Betts.)

[@ShawnSalvadori]

That journey with the solo, into the duet, into another solo... I was struck. Amazing, amazing, amazing

[@jameswattles7341]

My favorite Allman brothers song my second is Jessica another you'll I'm sure will enjoy.

[@hog7203]

Brother, you've been on a roll lately with your song selections. But to be fair, you've been doing pretty good from the start. Back in the 70s I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. It's still one of the sweetest guitar solos I've ever heard. Do yourself a favor and add the Eat A Peach album to your music collection. One of my favorite albums by any artist. My favorite Allman Brothers song is on it, "Ain't Wasting Time No More".

[@donnyrodenbergerjr4757]

That's one of my 3 favorites from them. My other 2 are Midnight Rider and Jessica ( this 1 is completely instrumental). But, then the Allman Brothers songs, they are all outstanding.

[@brenthenderson3983]

One Way Out.. Live at the Fillmore East..

[@ridemfast7625]

50 years later and that jam never gets old.

[@alpetrocelli4465]

I think this is the prettiest of all their tunes. And this is how I’ll always remember Duane’s music, like a Blue Sky.✌️❤️🎶

[@billwilson7948]

Skydog …. Forever…. a shiver & a sigh!

[@timothydoherty5337]

The live bootleg version at Stony Brook (Duane played on that one!) is epic. I think Dickey Betts is one of the most underrated singer , songwriters, and guitarists ever. Blue Sky and Jessica move me deeply.

[@LarchmontLady]

I proudly had this album back in the 70s and saw them in concert 🎵 🍑

[@user-cb1og8pc7n]

AMB band is the best along with VAN MORRISONs "POETIC CHAMPIONS COMPOSE" SOMEONE LIKE YOU WAS A FAVORITE song on that album. You won't be disappointec. Thsnk you, your great!!!

[@clasgluckman2809]

Welcome to the world I have lived in for 50 years. Blue Sky is one of my go to songs when ever I drive somewhere. Never gets old and always stays fresh. I always remember what I heard a disc jockey say years ago after playing an Allman Brothers song. She said “ My oh my but dem down home boys sure can play”.

[@tdgallagher218]

I could listen to this song--particularly the guitars--for hours on end. Such sweet sounds to the hearts and souls of anyone who is willing to stop and listen. Pure beauty. Absolutely great reaction as well.

[@Soundhypno]

Another great reaction to a great song!

[@babylonsister118]

The thing you are responding to that makes them sound so outstanding, is one of the things they are known for and mastered is playing dual synchronized lead guitars! Just incredible!

[@ShawnSalvadori]

I've played this song sooo much these last few days in my truck and at home! This song is perfection

[@babylonsister118]

@@ShawnSalvadori Agreed!! Great taste!

[@gleffersjr6855]

Great reaction! Thank you!!

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Duanne died on a motorcycle, when he hit a Peach truck....for Gregg and the band , to title this album, Eat a Peach, ...is a tribute to not the tragedy, but the ironic humor that Duanne was known for. RIP

[@JimDorman]

That's a story. It's not true. He hit a truck, but not a peach truck. once In an interview, Duane was asked about the war and he said every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace.

[@krisfox3537]

Been listening to the Allman brothers since 1971. I was 15. Bought all of their albums. Duane Allman and Dickie Betts are just a dynamic duo. This song by Dickie is one of my favorites. It's a song that if you're feeling stressed out by school or work? Just go find an open field with friends ( as I did) smoke a joint and let your troubles melt away. It is a very happy feel good song.

[@user-pf7jm9go6o]

Have you done any other Allman Bros? Take any one of the songs off side one of Live at the Fillmore East (1971). They will knock your socks off with Southern blues/rock, and Duane's slide guitar. Then for the best exposition of Greg's voice, check out their earlier song Not My Cross to Bear.

[@heidie2081]

Great song! Laid back Southern Rock ❤ My hubby named one of our daughters after their song "Jessica". The energy and vibe of that song suits her to this day!

[@user-bh5jv8hi3b]

The Live at SUNY recording with Duane is worth listening to for it's historic value ( I have the CD . The performance & recording are raw but I still love this historic value of that recording) a nice cleaner Live version can be found on the "First Set" Live recording done with the Warren Haynes / Allen Woody era of the band from the 1990's .. There is also a Video of that era of the band performing it on "Live at Great Woods"

[@kevinlundgren1169]

Another classic !

[@intothesunset3]

Wow. I wasn't very familiar with this song (it was released before I was born, and I've only heard bits of it before)...it's amazing. Loved this reaction.

[@hog7203]

The whole album Eat A Peach is a classic. Check out the song on it called Ain't Wasting Time No More if you haven't heard it.

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Thank you! What an amazing song, right? I've had it on repeat for a few days now 😅

[@IrishKack]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It just lifts you up. The goosebumps are real.

[@cherrypickerguitars]

My very first favourite band! Can’t say enough about this group. They were the first integrated rock band - and they were from the south! We could all use that lesson again! I really really miss the Allman Brothers Band! Peace

[@realitybytez]

simply not true. here are just some of the interracial rock groups that preceded the allman brothers: the paul butterfield blues band, the chambers brothers, the jimi hendrix experience, blood sweat and tears, sly and the family stone, and three dog night.

[@ptournas]

I saw them at the Boston Commons in 1971, a few months before Duane died. Among the best concerts I've ever seen. And one of the tightest bands I've ever seen live. I love all their stuff, but their blues most of all, although this one is my favorite among their rock songs". It's hard to pick a favorite among the blues they did, probably, "Whipping Post". I always thought of them a primarily a blues band and one of the best blues bands of all time!

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Whipping Post is a great song! Heard that here on the channel, and I agree, solid amazing blues track

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Beautiful harmony on guitar by Duane Allman and Dickey Betts. Love this song and love this album.

[@MarkChappell1]

One of my all time favorites. I could listen to those dueling guitars for hours.

[@melissakhalar1842]

Love this song and The Allman Brothers. You should check out the song "Melissa". It was Duanes favorite Gregg song. The story goes Gregg had sold the copyright to it when the band was broke and unknown to Gregg their manager was able to get the copyright back and the song was added to the Eat a Peach album that was released just after Duane died in a motorcycle accident.

[@clifton8929]

Great songs from The Allaman Brothers. You should give COME & GO BLUES, JELLY JELLY, WASTED WORDS, and SOUTHBOUND a listen from the Brothers and Sisters Album. As always, your commentary is impressively good and from the heart.

[@samlonge5707]

Berry and that bass line...

[@beare55]

One of the last songs recorded by Duane Allman before his untimely passing...RIP BTW the first solo was Duane followed by Dickey, beautiful playing!

[@raycewilliams3300]

Dicky Betts wrote and sings lead vocals on this beautiful song. The "Eat a Peach" album is great. I bought it on vinyl when it came out in 1972. This is probably my favorite track off this album. Great reaction. Take care.

[@JimDorman]

RIP Dickey Betts and of course, the rest of the band save Jaimoe.❤

[@bobbyg7102]

One of my favorites. Love driving on a beautiful day with this blaring in the car.

[@douglasg.9271]

Great song. Great band.

[@michaelmaddox7660]

GREAT

[@xJRx77]

2 guitars, Duane & Dickie

[@mojo0307]

RIP Dickey Betts April 18, 2024

[@jmcc199]

This band saw a lot of tragedy early on - at the height of their fame. Gregg and Dickey took solice in their roots - Blues and Country

[@custardflan]

my favorite Allman song. Maybe my favorite all-time of any song. This is a roll-down the winows, crank it up and go for a drive song. Makes me cry tears of happiness.

[@jessicalee7119]

I Love YOUR reaction to this song !! 😊😊

[@johnlynch9032]

Dickey wrote this song after his then wife, Sandy Bluesky, a Native American.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

👍👍👍👍😎💯

[@peterconnelly9263]

Dickie wrote this song "prior" to Duane Allman's death. In fact, there is "live version" of "Blue Sky" recorded at Stony Brook University Long Island on the internet with Duane playing the first lead solo. Just Google! Pete C.

[@andylawson87]

If I'm not mistaken Dickie Betts married a woman with the last name of Blue Sky.

[@realitybytez]

my college roommate was a huge fan of these guys and he turned me onto them. love this song - and so many others in their catalog.

[@SusanW714]

Thanks for the uplift!!❤️

[@jonthomson8392]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@douglascollman7341]

Forget the Van Morrison comparisons !! Nobody compares to the Allman Brothers.!!

[@joelliebler5690]

One of their best. Another great and all instrumental one is Jessica!

[@KJ-4321]

Loved your reaction! Great song! 😀

[@myownchannel247]

This album, Eat A Peach 🍑 was dedicated to the memory of Duane Allman. This song had already been recorded before his untimely death, written and sung by Dickey Betts. The first solo is Duane the second Dickey 🎸

[@plantfeeder6677]

Probably my favorite Allman Bros song. The guitar solos are legendary and it is so good to find out that Duane actually was one of the players. He had already been killed when this came out. Dickey Betts was a truly great guitar player/singer songwriter

[@gergnoyl]

Love this song.

[@markdecker6190]

Guitarist Dickey Betts had a couple solo albums early on. There's one tune in particular called Good Time Feeling from his Atlanta's Burning Down album and anyone who likes his sweet clean licks on Blue Sky will also like Good Time Feeling. Hope you're able to review this one!

[@michaoginski6220]

Only live version with Warren Haynes!!!!!

[@AnonymousServant513]

Named after Dickie's gf...her name was Blue Sky.

[@rainydaydreamawy]

If being high was a song.

[@hmichaelr1]

Purveyors of Southern Country Rock - An outstanding group of musicians!

[@peachbottom2010]

Talent on loan from God. It ain't fair. Those freakin' leads are awesome but man, let's not overlook that kick ass rhythm section.

[@matthewoconnor5838]

Love this song,always leaves me feeling high.

[@larrynusbaum9193]

lol...no, not about nature. Blue Sky was a woman (wife) of Dicky.

[@brendamilloy2557]

Feeling down? A bad day? Nothing going right? Blue Sky is the answer.

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Yes!

[@bobk9572]

That's just some good music right there!

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Top-notch!

[@user-ye4jl1ze8x]

This was a mainstay for Dicky Betts when I went out on his own a blinding song

I'm 69, This song has got me through many low times in my life.

[@marel5932]

The great Dicky Betts singing lead on this beauty of a song.

[@IAMisLove]

👍👍Great reaction. 🖖❤

[@earlymorningtwilight9119]

My favorite song!! 🌅😎

[@armandogarza6181]

TABB are just another great group from that era. Some critics call the Live at the Fillmore East the best live album ever, of course, that's up for debate, but it is a special album IMO. Stormy Monday is a great blues number.

[@Gashouse69]

One of many great songs from ABB

[@miconis123]

It's easy to see how they could stretch this into 20 minutes during a concert

[@WMalven]

Yep! The Allman Brothers at their finest. Sadly, Duane's final album.

[@custardflan]

"You're my blue sky, You're my suinny day. Lord, it makes me high when You turn Your love my way." Check out the Allman successors, Tedeschi Trucks Band and Warren Haynes cover it two weeks ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZOudmNnr5aGptE
