The Allman Brothers Band : In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed (HQ)

[@barrywatson8715]

Yes the best damn Allman Brothers song ever!! In and out of different moods and swings in this great jam that flows with Duane's lead. Both drummers are kicking it out while Barry Oakley fills in the bottom bass. Then suddenly Greg's slick and cool Hammond B-3 organ takes us for a little ride........ classic, then there are two breaks that wake us up out of this trance.....the final with Butch Trucks and Jaimoe! Freaking great. Best ending ever. Da dal da dal dot!

[@pablopistacio5661]

Dickey Betts plays the first solo , then the Hammond Organ middle eight and Duane Allman plays the second solo .

[@randallnerby7524]

Completely agree! So many by one of my all-time favorite groups. Caught them a few times in the late 70s.

[@poodlenme]

Live at the Fillmore after 38 years, still the best live recording ever!!!

[@cloudwizard_]

Even us young cats can appreciate this great sound. My friends and I love this song.

[@sk8rat2494]

Cam Yates true that 24 and I still am jamming out to them before I go to work

[@habiibqawiy7884]

22 here and am in love with many of their tracks including this one ofc. 🙂

[@kvernon1]

So hard to believe 4 of the 6 band members in this picture are no longer with us. What great music they made together....

[@jackfutch5789]

They did do that to perfection

[@neilcaraig9533]

This track is proof that jazz went a little further down the road laced with abrasive notes to produce a music so beautiful that it defied standards set in contemporary music... rock n' roll is clawing its way to mainstream.

[@scottjordon8150]

Quite possibly the most guitar talent loaded band of all time

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

One of many

[@rustyhamilton2908]

A lot of good musicians but very few great ones. This is one of the very few.

[@cudavrage]

Happy 50 year Anniversary Elizabeth Reed ! 9/18/70-9/18/20 50 years of Elizabeth Reed!!!

[@b.f.3147]

One of the best songs ever written. I played this every day before going to the first job I had as a teenager - factory job.

[@queyntelover]

Play it Berry!

[@KirkSandall]

Best Allman Bros song. No contest.

[@larryjohnson-el8lv]

Agreed, without a doubt

[@joycecoley4503]

totally agree. My favorite of all their great songs.

[@intheshadowofthesun9491]

KirkSandall yeah I had the privilege of seeing them play this Awesome Song!! Sadie♡

[@josiahquincy2744]

I slowed it down to 16 rpm and worked out the dual lines because i thought it was only one guitar, 73 i guess.

[@harpharpharpharp1971]

Sonny Boy Williamson song

[@donnythompson408]

Man, does this take me back. Picking my favorite AB song is impossible, but “In Memory” is absolutely right up there... along with Whipping Post... and Jessica... and Midnight Rider... and.... Ramblin’ Man... and... ❤️

[@romus68]

Gotcha Donny!

[@michaell874]

Musically, this song is a masterpiece!

[@poodlenme]

Put headphones on and listen. This music will carry you away!

[@JoeyProffitt1978]

I was just doing that... once I realized all the drums were coming out only one side it started driving me mad.... maybe because i'm a drummer... but it's annoying me

[@genevievetatum1536]

This song introduced me to the Allman Brothers. Love them.

[@lylecosmopolite]

Hearing the Live at the Fillmore East version of this song made me a fan for life.

[@daehtnulb]

likewise, aren't we lucky ;-)

[@guitartom01]

@@lylecosmopolite same... was there Wednesday night. Blew me away

[@reilweiler1228]

I think, perhaps the first song (as a pseudo-adult) I fell in LOVE with...musically, The BEST of the BEST.... thank you Dickey and Skydog for inspiring me to give MY daughter the BEST name ever!!! I have (on more than one occasion) and will continue, to go to Macon (Rose Hill) and and pay my respects... of course, on a mission, I also found the resting place of Elizabeth Reed [Napier].... not obvious, yet surprisingly close to Skydog and Berry... rest in peace... and thank you...

[@williamshilling2937]

The absolute best southern rock n roll country band ever !!!!!!

[@starshiptrooper7670]

True That!! Eat a Peach for Peace...

[@lockedin60]

Southern in the sense that they lived and worked in the Southern States. But I think there music and music sensibilities are way beyond just to be branded southern. Jazz, Blues, Rock and even Progressive Rock in certain phases.

[@harryr3ful]

NO, the BEST ROCK band ever!

[@tstoneami]

@@lockedin60 Well put. Very prog in many ways. I think it's an injustice to box them into a genre.

[@hDubL360]

[@7SKYBALLER]

PEACE OUT TO BRO. GREG ALLMAN. THANK YOU FOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE WORLD ! WE LOVE YOU ! ! WE'LL NEVER FORGET YOU ! ! !

[@mellotronage]

Man. Only Jaimoe & Dickey still survive ? I think this new century can't hold a candle to the last one !

[@stevewelsh8560]

recent generations don't have a clue how to make music.its all digital crap with autotuned nonsense, the Allman Brothers Band have more talent in that band than the whole of the charts of today combined.

[@brendariggan8478]

The All time Best Song!! Played it every morning over and over and over on my way to work. Made me feel so relaxed and at same time energized for the new day! Never tire of it to this day and that was in 71 I listened to it!!! :)

[@bleachbleach5599]

Bass was written at Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, Georgia. Next to the grave of one Elizabeth Reed. Made a pilgrimage there once. Any bassist should go there.

[@berndjungmann5600]

Santana obviously was a huge fan of this fantastic band and learned his trade right there 😅

[@MegaREAPER56]

Funny at 1st on the Film the holdovers I thought this must be Santana.....😊 Great piece of music here!!

[@joseenriqueagutaya131]

Rocked out in Surfside, CA in the 70s; still in my heart, along with all of the greats.

[@edherrick2]

Butch's sister is a friend. So sad for her loss.

[@ninaboucher7631]

try driving in NE in the fall, visiting old cemeteries in your '65 Mustang fastback and stopping at all the old grave yards you drive by. You'll find more of these if THIS is blaring on your (improved) car stereo. It's like magic, and if you read the stones, you'll feel like you're back there... it's wild, and freeing

[@josiahquincy2744]

Good words . To me , old as dirt ,this tune is being at Jax beach with a woman on a warm breezy night c. late June 1973

[@ninaboucher7631]

I feel ya... I miss Greg, et al

[@josiahquincy2744]

There was no one like him. His voice will be remembered

[@handelp272]

This song makes me feel sad and happy at the same time...love it

[@Akamaholic]

It's the notes they're using. It's a major scale with some minor notes thrown in, if I remember correctly. That technique creates a melancholic feeling that makes you feel both happy and sad at the same time.

[@alexcretsos7340]

My alltime favorite song.

[@keesmoke1]

Best rock band ever.

[@7SKYBALLER]

Thank you. We love you. We'll never forget you. Peace out Truck...✊

[@cyanasmr7203]

Even without Gregg singing, just listening to all the instruments and now especially picking out the organ in the background, love it. Beginnings was definitely one of my favorites from the 70's, also Derek And The Dominos and The Stones, Exile On Main Street

[@jameslang1509]

Fantastic tune ,start to finish.

[@kentonjones8108]

great dual guitars best of the a bros.

THESE GUYS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@larryjohnson-el8lv]

Who Elizabeth Reed was is very interesting What a great band they were, what a time that was!!

[@MaggyShannon]

larry johnson This music sounds as fresh and relevant as it did nearly half a century ago! If this were intended as an apology for fooling around on Mrs Reed's grave, I doubt she'd accept it. I, however, see music as a celebration of life. I'd be glad of a similar tribute.

[@chrisatkinson7042]

larry johnson story goes Dickie was playing an acoustic guitar in a graveyard down in Macon. He kept playing this. He looked up to see a grave marking that said In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.

[@dancalestini9850]

Sitting on a rail road track in Georgia how fucking fitting is that back in in the 70s they look like some nice guys they also look like could have you for dinner

[@jpozenel]

I can still remember the name of the woman who took blood samples from me as a potential bone marrow donor well over 20 years ago. That's right. Elizabeth Reed.

[@mesch368]

Life is full of connections, made and broken. Glad to know you have one that is everlasting. From a caregiver…..,

Thanx for being a bone marrow donor. My daughter just received a transplant.

I went to the cemetery were duane and barry are buried - down near the tracks is the grave of Elizabeth Napier Reed. Story goes dickey betts felt guilt cause of the fun he had next to her grave with a few woman............. so he wrote a sond

[@ldolphin34]

I heard it was the first time he realized whose grave it was, it just shocked him to just know the reality, and then when he returned to the studio he laid this melody down.

IMOER. No matter which version you hear (original, Fillmore East, etc.) you find something new and interesting that you didn't hear in other versions. And, something new everytime in each version. Though, I gotta say, the ATFE one that preceded the epic and legen-wait-for-it-dary nearly hour long "Whipping Post/Mountain Jam" medley is probably the closest to perfect, if not actually such.
