The Allman Brothers Band - Full Concert - 09/23/70 - Fillmore East (OFFICIAL)

[@nowhereman5640]

I was at this show. I was a regular at the Fillmore East. It was close and tickets were 4 to 5 dollars. We could afford to go every week. I was the right age, in the right place, and got to witness rock and roll history. The legends all played there. The music they gave us is still considered rock and roll gold.

[@michaelbirke6050]

A while back on KZbin maybe a year or so ago, there was a picture of the marquee sign over the Fillmore with the line up of bands on closing night. I can’t remember them all, but I remember the Allman Brothers Band, the J. Geils Band, Mountain and others. Were you there? You were one fortunate dude. I bet you were the one who shouted “play all night”!!

kristi schrittwieser this was truly a golden era for music... but to say that we’ll never see this talent again is to ignore all that’s come since. I’d encourage you to check out Marcus King & The Sheepdogs, both acts are younger and prove that southern rock is very much alive 😄

[@Davidthemarathoner]

Very true. Well said. The shit being spewed out nowadays is beyond abysmal. It is all no talent, uninspiring, unintelligent garbage.

[@BrettSmithDaniels]

@Tessmage Tessera not always necessarily true! The Allman Bros influences came from further back than just the 1960's, and nobody can deny they built upon those foundations. The same is true of certain newer acts. It doesn't detract from the older acts though, they deserve their reputation and place in music history - but there are many incredible musicians right now being overlooked. Have a listen to some of the artists I listed 😁

Happy birthday skydog! Duane would have been 71 yrs old today. 11/20/46. We can only imagine what he would have contributed to the music world. He had contributed so much already at 24.

[@ptflats]

I think he had hit his peak already ala Eric Clapton great guitarist whose best work was all early on. Duane had already influenced so many artists as a sessions guitarist before the ABB. His unique blues and Jazz influenced playing made Dickey Betts the monster guitarist he became and he took over leadership after Duane left way too early.

[@guyr.c.606]

I suspect I'm not alone when I find myself as emotionally gripped by the passion of Dickey Betts guitar work as I am by Duane Allman in this awesome early performance. They were the perfect foil for each others approach , contrasting and distinct in their tone and feel but capable of playing as though of one mind, lost in the melodic but, found in the harmonic, a band in sync but sympathetic to living in the moment. Their music is so compelling, it's complex but accessible, uncompromising but never elitist, an antidote to all that's bland and formuleric in modern music. The Allman Brothers band are inclusive, nurturing the talents of guitarists like Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, and very much a musical family who while carrying the torch within the band have broken new ground in various bands and musical collaborations taking their music to new places and new heights of virtuosity and in the process Inspire a new generation of musicians.

Duane's incredible gift for finding his place for the pitch he wanted no matter where on the neck he began a slide from was always uncanny. This video captures much of that magic. Quick stops, down, up vibrato, pitch and timing perfect dives - amazing stuff. Derek Trucks is the closest I've heard since, but Duane always sounded so spontaneous that you felt in in your spine.

[@STSGuitar16]

Spontaneous is a fantastic way of describing his playing. It almost feels like a tightrope act all the way through one of his blistering slide solos in a way. In my opinion, Derek has truly taken Duane's ideas and approach to slide playing and taken them to an even higher level. Duane was playing it unlike anyone else back in his day, and Derek is now doing the same with this generation of music. Both are fantastic for numerous reasons.

Gregg was 23 when this was recorded? Jeezus, he sounded like an old bluesman even as a kid. Unreal voice, great muscians

[@Iatolaazzahola]

Much was said of Johnny Lang's voice at 16 years old. Compared to Gregg's voice and blues singing it was phenomenal. I loved to hear Gregg sing, all the way until he married the gypsy. I gave up on him for that brief period, then he redeemed himself once again. Great blues singer.

[@michaelbirke6050]

Watching this the day after Dickey’s passing. I’m still shaken by it. My favorite band. I really never quite understood why. They just touched my musical soul like no other band. Their guitars were like waving magic wand’s over my ears. I miss them all greatly.

[@dalepurvis2412]

Man I'm right there with you brother. The songs are stitched to the fabric of my soul. Born in '58 and the notes still sound so fresh.

I can't get enough of the Allman Brothers with Duane.

Same. My favorite band to listen to in the fall, their music fits Baton Rouge so well! Anyways cheers!!

[@chriscrawford2401]

That's the only Allman Brothers - with Duane and Barry. Everything since is a tribute band.

[@johnbristow4981]

@@chriscrawford2401 it has been said that there was this force field flying between Duane and Barry and the rest of the band were captive in it. I think that was a very accurate description of what was going on. They were a force of nature!!

So Good to see Dwayne and Berry .. incredible

I'm almost 60 and the more I listen to and watch the Allman Bros., the more I notice how very talented they truly were/are. They kicked total ass! In my opinion, Whipping Post has to be one of their stellar achievements.

[@SatchmoDotCom]

Awesome stuff! I was lucky enough to catch the original ABB many times in NOLA at The Warehouse, Tulane, the Fly at Audubon Park, etc ... and later at City Park, and a road trip to Watkins Glen ... still get goosebumps thinking about those Warehouse shows on NYE ... RIP Duane, Berry and Butch

[@davidbarnich9436]

Such great musicians ...RIP ...Duane , Berry , Gregg ,

[@MemphisRob13]

I was lucky enough to see them at the Memphis Overton Park Shell back in the summer of '71. It was a beautiful day with beautiful people and the best music. One of the most memorable moments of my life.

[@Bklynviathebridge]

Jesus, the brothers are gone..RIP Gregg. Grateful that Bill Graham had the instincts to recognize the greatness of this band.

So long Gregg. May your soul radiate out into infinity and swallow the world with the sacred note.

[@jas0707]

When with Barry Oakley and Duane Allman, The Allman Brothers are solidly ranked in the top 5 of all time great bands.

[@chrisbatta]

Try number 1

[@HamiltonRb]

They are a great band but I think The Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, the Who & Springsteen top them out, and I haven't even mentioned Dylan

[@militarymom8659]

"Whipping Post" compared to.....can anyone think of anything The Beatles did that even comes close? I'm struggling to come up with something.

[@HamiltonRb]

Military Mom A day in the life is my favorite Beatle song but so many of their songs got played to death back in the day that what was classics such as Magical Mystery Tour, Hey Jude or Revolution became stale over time. Love Whipping Post snd love the Allman Bros but you would have to be a die hard to say they were in the same league, which is fine

[@BringWebTraffic]

Wow.. Duane was kickin' it. It was awesome to "see" this show which I've heard countless times, as a teenager growing up in a place where you'd be likely to actually walk into your favorite bar and see Dicky or Gregg or Butch.

[@garylaubscher9914]

+Pati Beardsley Where was that? Macon ? Atlanta? Just wondering, not trying to put you on the spot, I only ask because I live in Daytona and saw Duane & Greg in places here before they moved to Georgia. By Butch I think you are talking of the trucks family? I envy you.

[@KevinMichaelCallihan]

This is the music that I needed for myself only this morning while I hope you catch a ride with me so we can sing in the background so you won't ruin the music~! What days it was in 17- to be 15 years of age and trying to understand 1962 to 1970 in music.

[@mrblujet]

I have to say that The Allman Brothers Band was before my time, but I never realized just how loaded with talent this band was.
