[@nickcolletta9140]

If you want to really hear a blues song, check them out doing “One Way Out” live at the Fillmore East. One of the best live performances ever.

[@helgar791]

Having seen them 4 times, 3 times before Duane died, I much preferred them doing "Don't Keep Me Wonderin' " live than "One Way Out". However, their live performances of "Whippin' Post" on any given night, kills both.

[@nickcolletta9140]

@@helgar791 I agree with you about “Whipping Post” but since they already reviewed it I thought that seeing Duane and Dickey trade riffs on “One Way Out” is something everyone should experience. “Don’t Keep Me Wondering” is also fantastic to see from the Fillmore East. Great harmonica playing.

[@phatnana2379]

@@helgar791 I don't know, obviously ALL the recordings from that weekend at the Filmore are spectacular BUT... The version of "You Don't Love Me" that made the album is (in my opinion) THEE single BEST live songs ever recorded! Also, Dickey Betts' solo in that song is probably the best guitar solo ever recorded! That says a lot too as Duane is definitely my favorite guitar player of all time!

[@matthewzakszewski2105]

Original version was done by Elmore James but they put a WHOLE new twist on it.

[@bobbynoe1]

[@mikelundquist4596]

As stated many times here, Duane Allman is the best ever slide guitarist. But Gregg is possibly the best white blues singer ever, as well. Not a bad combination.

[@kurtsaxton823]

I was fortunate enough to see the Allman Brothers several times throughout the years 3 times with Duane, he is a slide God, but I can honestly state, Derek Trucks is every bit as good.

[@dwanpyrtle3134]

Only lets me hit the 'Like' button once. In concerts, this was the opening song, Duane thought of it as a warm-up/ get it on tune. They were both ( Duane and Gregg) born in Nashville, moved to the tidewater area of Virginia (Norfolk-Virginia Beach) then back to Nashville, then to Daytona Beach FL. Had a band called The Hourglass and went to Los Angeles in the attempt to make a go of it but the record company tried to control their music to make them more commercial. Bad move resulting in failure and band breakup. All but Gregg Allman went back east, with Duane stopping off in the Muscle Shoals area, working as a studio player at Fame Recording studio. He then went to Jacksonville FL, met up with others for a little jam session. The others (mostly) turned out to become the new band. Needing a singer, Duane called for his brother to come back. They were taken under contract by Atlantic Records then given to Capricorn, out of Macon GA, where they moved to so they'd be close to the studio. Southern? Yeah, I think so. Gregg Allman didn't like the title 'Southern rock'. To his mind, ALL rock music was Southern in origin. Southerners were all over rock music. Chuck Berry - St Louis, Elvis - Memphis, Little Richard - Macon. He said you might as well call it 'rock rock'. The so-called experts call the ABB the Kings of Southern Rock. This song was recorded at the Fillmore East Theater in NYC, and recorded for the album 'Live at the Fillmore East' in 1971. 7 months later Duane would die tragically in a motorcycle accident. This album has been called the greatest live music recording of all time. I agree. Look at the song listing, and just play it out. It's amazing.

[@buckfan1969]

Thank you for mentioning Gregg's comments on the term 'southern rock'. And he's right; they were so much more; jazz, blues, rock, country all blended into what one might call the Allman Brothers Band sound. Someone in the dorm had their first album in 1969 or 70 and they've been my favorite since.

[@janescribner8258]

Thank you for mentioning Muscle Shoals. I always forget about Duane's contribution on Boz Scaggs' first album; what a masterpiece.

Great rock band from the 70's that mixed blues, jazz & country music in their sound. They had lots of great songs such as "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed", "Whipping Post", "Melissa", "Blue Sky", "Ramblin' Man" etc. One of my favorites is their instrumental "Jessica" which was written by guitarist Dickey Betts & named after his daughter.

[@joanlajara3939]

They were born in born in Nashvillle, Tenn were they spent most of their childhood until their father was driving and picked up a hitchhiker to give him a ride home and was shot and killed. their Mom mov d them to Daytona Beach after that, they also formed the band in Jacksonville, Fl with Dickey Betts, And many of the original band members, later they settled in Richmond Hill and Macon, Georgia

Saw them live many time they came close to home. From the 70’s and through the years and you could see them in the early days for $25. 00. Now a days you need a second mortgage to get concert tickets. Although I got a guy for that. 😂 Seriously, was never disappointed and check out Stormy Monday live if you get a chance.

I saw them for under 5 bucks less than 20 years ago.. A radio station in the area did a promotion, how many people you could fit on a blanket could get in for a general admission ticket. To this day that was one of the best shows I have ever seen and the cheapest..

[@mikefannon6994]

Back in 1970 I saw them in Atlanta's, Piedmont Park for free. Also at the second Atlanta Pop Festival along with Jimi, Johnny Winter, many others ( ABB played first and last) - 3 days for $13.00. Good things of life were cheap back then.

[@zunbake3]

The Brothers were born in Nashville and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. My favorite American Band for over 50 years. Duane was the master of the Slide Guitar and his younger brother, Gregg was the greatest White Blues Singer of all time. Shout out must go to their other guitarist, Dicky Betts, a legend in his own right! They virtually invented Southern Blues Rock. I have been fronting 8 Bands in the last 20 years and we always have done Statesboro Blues, One Way Out and Stormy Monday. Whipping Post is a must listen as well.

Duane Allman tried to get his brother to come back and sing for "this band" he had put together for some time. He told him they were really good. In Gregg's autobiography he said when he walked into the room and heard them playing for the first time, he literally fell back against the wall in shock at what he was hearing. Incredibly talented band and you guys are spot on with your analysis.

[@scapito]

Can't go wrong with ABB. A couple of their other jams you haven't checked out yet are *Melissa* (1972) and *No One To Run With* (1994). Agree with you both; ABB is sit back, toe-tappin', timeless music.

The Allman Brothers were from South Carolina. The two brothers Duane & Greg played in several bands together and moved around to different cities. At one time they lived in Jacksonville, Fla. home to many great southern rock bands. The band was formed in Macon, Ga and had their greatest success living and recording there. Macon & Jacksonville claim them as their own. Bassist Barry Oakley & guitarist Duane Allman died in motorcycle accidents on the same highway in Macon 1 year apart. Other members were Jaimo & Butch Trucks on drums and Dickey Betts on lead guitar & vocals. Jaimo had primarily been a jazz artist. You can hear Rock, Blues, Soul, and Country in their music.

[@pbrucpaul]

They were so good ushering Southern Blues Rock. I framed and gifted their albums to my adult kids, who love their music.

[@richdiddens4059]

Until Duane's death the Allman Brothers Band was primarily a blues band with a little Rock thrown in. After he died in 1971 the band's next album had a more even blend of rock and blues with a little country added in. It was in response to this time period in 1972 that a writer coined the term "Southern Rock" to describe one of their concerts.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

That incredible voice is Gregg Allman - keyboardist and lead vocal. His brother Duane is playing slide guitar. About Southern rock - Gregg Allman said; all rock started in the South, came out of the South, so saying Southern rock is like saying rock rock.

[@raymondfaron85]

These were good times, this old man here spent many a night partying to this album back 50+ years ago.

[@chrisa4695]

This song was originally recorded by Georgia blues singer/guitarist Blind Willie McTell w who was active from the 20’s - 50’s. Statesboro is a small town between Macon & Savannah, Ga known mainly as the home of Georgia Southern University. The Allman Brothers were based in Macon, Ga. & recorded for Capricorn records. They all lived together in an old mansion called “the big house”. That squealing guitar you hear is the late great Duane Allman on slide guitar. He also played on tracks by Aretha Franklin & Wilson Pickett when he worked with “The Swampers” in Muscle Shoals, Ala.

The live version of this song is completely amazing. Also consider the fact that the Allman Brothers Band had two drummers who played totally in sync with each other. There was not a single mistake by either drummer - Butch Trucks and Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson. I saw this band at a venue in St. Louis, MO back in 1973 on a Sunday night. The concert started at 8pm and was supposed to be over at 11pm when the venue was supposed to close up for the night. We were still there at midnight that night! Southern rock at it's best.

[@paulprendergast3184]

One of my favourite bands of all times. I was 13 when this live album came out. Had to save up to buy it because it was a double album. Never got to see the original lineup live but saw different versions over the years. The original one-two punch of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts on guitars with Berry Oakley on bass....man!! I saw their farewell tour at the Beacon in NY a few years ago. Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks provided that same punch as the original duo and Oteil Burbridge was right in there on bass. Gregg, Jamoe and Butcb were always there for us. RIP Duane, Berry, Gregg and Butch.

[@dougj7295]

The photo you laughed at of Duane sleeping with the guitar was taken from the Clapton's Layla session in the studio. Eric Claption and his band Derek & the Dominoes went to see the Allman Bros. at an outdoor cocnert, sitting in front and blown away - then invited the band back to the studio - and Duane recorded much of the Layla album with Eric. Eric wanted to see Duane because he heard his guitar playing on Wilson Pickett's version of Hey Jude and thought the guitar playing was the best thing he had heard.

I can just think what notes I want to play and my hands just go and do it. I don't have watch where they go anymore!!" Eddie Van Halen was another player that always had a guitar hanging from his neck. He would often fall asleep with his guitar in his arms. Duane was the same way. Duane was the unofficial 'God Father' of the electric slide guitar.

That's actually two lead guitarists, playing off each other. Duane Allman on the slide and then Dickie Betts. They're originally from north Florida and were based in Georgia.
