The Allman Brothers Band - Full Concert - 11/02/72 - Hofstra University (OFFICIAL)

[@scottross154]

I produced this show... I was the Concert Chair... we taped for 20 hours.... it was magical

[@nedjohnson5200]

I believe you Scott Ross. I loved the 5 Man Band. Everyone picked it up a notch while not stepping on any ones toes. Dickey was magic and Greggs singing was loud and clear. Thanks!

[@anncooley6844]

Scott Ross - I believe this concert is one of the best of the ABB with or without Duane. Can you provide any more info on this concert? How long was the show? How would you characterize their spirit? Was it a one-night or two-night gig? To my ears they were at the top of their game. I hear a wonderful concert. There is so much disagreement on whether Barry was horribly depressed or coming out of his depression from Duane's death. I would love to hear your comments on what you remember. Thanks.

[@andymarchus6250]

@@anncooley6844 In Gregg's book "Not My Cross To Bear" he specifically said Berry couldn't cope with Duane's death and was never the same. Not that everything in his book is 100% accurate but I'm not sure who disputes this. Gregg would be one to know.

[@anncooley6844]

@@andymarchus6250 I own the book, read it, and I think Gregg is a good witness. Then there is this other account from One Way Out. He had organized a festival, or was to participate in a festival, and he was excited about it. Jaimoe said this or he said something similar in another book or article, and both Gregg & Jaimoe obviously knew him. The stories conflict. The Berry I see in this concert has had a year to mourn and he seems to be enjoying himself. I simply hoped Scott Ross would provide his opinion. Thank you for the answer.

[@sharon1094]

I agree about Dickey. I think he kept the band going FOR Duane. I don't think he got too much support from Jaimoe. Butch or even Gregg so he took the lead. I think Duane would say to Dickey. You did good, Brother!!

This was no picnic for them...can you imagine..They had debt and bills and they needed to play...They werent rich guys who could just say fuck it and take a couple yeats off...They had to work...They sucked it up and went to it...they didnt have the heart yet to fill the big brothers spot but at least they were out...

[@anthonyburnam3103]

Julia S that's just true and I'm glad you said it. That HUGE voice has always just left me wondering about sound creation. He doesnt LOOK like that voice. When I saw em all sitting in that creek inside first album I think I was just struck that such music could come from a pack of skinny little white boys and I was a skinny little white boy. Lots of hair though. I've seen them many times. I was struck Allan's had same instrumental line up as Grateful Dead. Two drummers, guitars, so on. The jams they get into are. Seeing them that second time at Ludlow Garage I was doing an Ohio Sunshine Company Orange barrel LSD. Just amazing band in every way. May I please shut up now? Thank you.

@@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery They have all passed except for Dickie Betts, one of the lead guitarists and Derek Trucks, also lead guitar in later years. Dickie is the singer on Ramblin Man, also songwriter of many songs. The lead vocals, organ and guitar is Gregg Allman. They have a fantastic catalog of music. Duane Allman, Gregg’s older brother and stellar slide guitarist started the band in 1969. You must hear At Fillmore East. First band to be labeled Southern Rock. Incorporating a Blues sound and first to have two drummers. I could go on but won’t 😉 I hope you’ve discovered Lynyrd Skynyrd. The other greatest Southern Rock band ever.

[@noahramey1703]

WOW , hadn’t seen this one and man it was tough. I miss these guys more than any band ever. I think Mr. Bill Graham who was way ahead of his time said it perfectly when he said they were the best of them all and they were. Every member was absolutely the best and I sure am thankful that they had the guts to keep going and keep making the music that has helped me get through many times good and bad for 52 years. Every member through all the years have been the best of the best bar none. God bless them all each and every one of them and he certainly blessed me to be able to hear and see them many times and so thankful to have the opportunity to take my grandson to see them a few years ago because his generation has missed the true masters of music and again like Mr. Graham said, the absolute best. Legends and also real dudes man real dudes.

[@bluecollar825]

Thats a major bummer. It makes sense tho, as I was watching I thought his demeanor/energy was off. R.I.P Mr. Oakley

[@Soprina61]

They were always great live, but it really looks as if no one's heart is really in it here--and you're right...Berry in particular. Butch also looks as if he's just going through the motions. Totally understandable, of course, but really sad.

Watched this in early or mid-70's on local tv as In Concert. Berry Oakley was still around and Chuck Leavell is already playing on Fender Rhudes. Seems this was fresh at the time of Duane's demise. You can feel the sadness and grief of the group's playing. Thanks to the uploader I got to see this again.

I recorded the FM simulcast of the TV program when I was 16. A few months later, the cassette tape was stolen. 😭 But, this video is the one! I'm sure the sound is better than that old tape. I'm thankful to the uploader, too. 😊

[@rayfarrell6926]

one of the best versions of Ramblin Man on video. Raymond Berry Oakley was in my opinion the best bass player in southern rock hands down. His melodic bass lines along with playing support with counter lines with lead guitar gave the Allman Brothers Band is amazing original sound never duplicated after his motorcycle dealth on november 11, 1972. Berry oakley was a major force in the allman brothers sound as they are the grandfathers of southern Rock n Roll. Rip BO.

[@theresalandry4765]

I saw the band in Mobile, Al, the FIRST PUBLIC PERFORMANCE for them AFTER Duane's death. They actually played as if Duane was on the stage. No attempt was made to modify. Soul Shock and HS presence had them playing with Duane in their ears and hearts. Berry was phenomenal to watch. Completely transfixed by their vibe, that bass became a lead guitar. To see him sway to the beat, his leg rolling and bending to the flow was a spiritual experience. He was as great an artist on the bass as Duane was on his Gibson. Those two, together, created the multi-leveled, original mastery of musical fusion known as the Allmans. After Berry's needless death and Duane's tragic crash, the true band was gone. They soldiered on, with dignity and future success; but they never returned to the mountaintop again. In my heart, the ABB was the superb masters of American music fusion to this day. Their harmonics, power, and creativity powered by hypnotic positivity birthed a new musical idiom. Too bad their intense personalities became self destructive. Euphoria in such immense dosages coupled with the band's dangerous drug usage destroyed their common sense.

[@greenman7612]

Berry Oakley was just playing his rear off! So sad that in a matter of days he would also be gone. The power of the band was still there at this time!

Legendary!

Saw them in '78 at the Calderone Concert Hall in Hempstead ,up the street from Hofstra .... It was a great concert!

[@reginaangell5327]

That was Dickey and Great Southern. Him and Dangerous Dan blew the roof off the place.

I was fixin' to turn 8 that month and Barry died a few days later. I loved the 70's.

I saw two shows at Ludlow Garage in their run up to the Fillmore East album. Once it cost a dollar and once was free. Just could not believe how tight, perfect they were and totally amazed that huge voice was coming out of that pretty little blonde haired hippie dude who looked kind of like me but better looking by a damn sight. Hahahaha. It was what you can imagine it was. Just so close to perfect. The Alman Brothers Band has given the world so much. So many great spin off bands and people. Butch and Susan comin here to Red Rocks twice next summer. Thinking about these guys long enough and I always end up in tears for the beauty and the losses for those who left us way too soon. I miss the fuck outta Duane. Now Leon is gone too. I'm crying again gd it.

[@joleneloveland2942]

There will never be any ones like them again. And God bless Gregg and RVZ.

[@russellhoward3866]

Oh my God!!! I can't push thumbs up enough!!!!!!!!!!

[@jimkyle8008]

Brilliant playing by the whole band, especially Dickey.

[@t2tarantula552]

Quality throughout the whole group. The real deal

[@mr.k905]

Such a difficult time for them but they do the best they can, especially Betts ...and it's grrreat!!

[@bebopredux]

You can almost see the pain in their eyes. Gregg was definitely using here. Something but, the spiral had begun. Dickie bravely stepped up and did fantastic. Berry looked less animated. I mean, the brothers were in pain and although the singing and playing are stellar, it's apparent that they know this is new territory for them. Oh what could have been had Duane lived! But you know, they did carry on. They adapted. Was it the same? No. Was it good? Yes indeed it was.

[@anthonyburnam3103]

bebop redux hit the nail on the GD head with that Sir.

[@geetarnut]

SURE IT WAS PAINFUL! BUT BETTS WAS THE ONE WHO TOOK THE ALLMAN BROTHERS FROM BEING A GOOD BAND BEING PLAYED ON "F.M. RADIO" ONLY,,, TO TELEVISION, MOVIES (GREGG'S VENTURE INTO FILM!), AND MULTI-GOLD AND EVEN PLATINUM RECORD SALES! IN FACT, DICKEYS ONE SONG ALONE, "RAMBLIN MAN", IS WHAT MADE THE BROTHERS NEARLY 4 MILLION ALBUM SALES OF THE "BROTHERS AND SISTERS" ALBUM ALONE!

[@brothersvilleknife]

bebop redux , they were all using well before this and well after. Best band ever in my opinion, but they were all using heroin. Sometimes I think they couldn't have gotten any better and it had to end. I've seen them in 4 different decades and they were great every time. Never saw the originals though , can't imagine how great that must have been.
