Whipping Post ( Gregg Allman )
I been run down
Lord, I been lied to
And I don't know why
I let that mean woman make out a fool
She took all my money
Wrecked my new car
Now she's with one of my good-time buddies,
Drinkin' in some cross-town bar
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I been
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'
My friends tell me
That I been such a fool
But I got to stand there an' take it
All for loving you
Drown myself in sorrow
As I look at what you done
Nothin' seems to change;
That bad times stay the same,
And I can't run
Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I been
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'

Greatest Live Album of all time in my humble opinion. And I respect everyone else’s opinion for what they believe is the best Album of all time. And they are not ever wrong, as music is art and is in the eye of the beholder. So we must all respect the artistic choices that are made by all others. Nobody is ever “wrong”, as that is their interpretation of the art that they have consumed.

I was there , it was March, 3 months before the Fill.oreEast closed. The gig was sold out weeks in advance, somebody called in a bombscare to the FillmoreEast before showtime, and all the ticketholders were back outside, some cat gave me his ticket stub, the Hell's Angel bouncer looked at me, laughed and let me in!!! He knew!Told me not to get caught smoking weed, and I said, Okay, you won't catch me, and we both laughed, and I ran in. I was 15, WhippingPost started at 3AM The Bros played until the sun was just coming up. One of the best shows I ever been, tight so tight.

An incredible concert. Saw them in 69-70. But, that night, they were touched by Angels. It still makes me tear up remembering this great concert. You had to be there. This album, (thank God!) captures it perfectly. Duane,, Gregg, ohhh, everyone. Rest in peace. THANK YOU.

[@philipavello2370]

How can one say, Duane was not one of the greatest. This was 1971 live. No studio tricks. With underrated and equally great Dickie who Duane even said was better guitarist. Then Greg and Berry. What a band. No other band ever like them.

[@eurydicejones]

Dickie was not the better guitarist

[@PeterMayer]

Let's not forget the rhythm section!

[@PeterMayer]

​@eurydicejones Maybe not, but he certainly had a great answer back to Duane. They both were great. Two leed guitarist were unheard of.

[@J.C...]

Greatest American band there ever was.

[@J.C...]

​​​@@eurydicejonesDuane said so many times. There's an interview called "everybody in my band has to be better than me" or something to that effect. It's here on KZbin. He says it in that interview. Or he always said Dickey was the good one and he was the popular one. So yes, even Duane thought Dickey was better than him. In fact, he believed everyone in the band was as good of a musician or even better than he was. That's some high praise because Duane knew he was hot 5#it even back then. Listen to Rick Hall tell stories about Duane. You get a good feeling for what kind of person he was. Headstrong. A go getter. And EXTREMELY intelligent.

When the song slows down and gets quiet..those sweet, sad, crescendos that build with slow intensity (go from about 10:12 to 15:25...that what takes true skill--to play electric instruments with that type of feel and touch. I first heard this in 1972 when I was 14 years old. I hear it today and it brings tears to my eyes. This, folks, was the absolute high-water mark of rock music. Never was there a collection of true musicians like this on the stage afterward.

Pretty funny. I have Jimi's Have You Been to Electric Ladyland as my post-croak tune. Saw ABB in 70 in DC at Am Univ and then was one of the crazies who say them with The Dead at RFK stadium in 73. THAT was a cluster fuck of acid, ludes and dehydration. Had to wait till sun up to even THINK about leaving that mad house. Seemed like a lot of people there but I wasn't seeing much of them. No one was in control that day/night, least of all the players. Pretty funny memory. Cops were cool-they knew the place was lit up. Don't remember when they stopped playing but it seemed late in the evening.

[@bobcardenaz9034]

+Wandering Wade Mr. Allman very unrated on the keyboards imo

[@jimd9360]

+Bob Cardenaz Everyone in that band, with the exception of the GREAT Duane Allman was underrated. Twin drums made it hard to determine who was doing what, but the "melodic" instrumental performances were masterpieces. In my mind, Berry Oakley is THE most underrated bass player in history, period. For anyone that doubts it, listen to the bass lines in this song - he plays it like a lead instrument. The twin drummers freed him up to do that, to a certain extent, just like they did for Phil Lesh. Oakley is better, IMO.

[@rickrhodes82]

agree completely on Oakley. Saw a list recently of rock's 10 most underrated musicians, he was on it, and the other name that I totally agree on was the lead guitar work of John Fogerty. Simple, yet classic elegance. Could rock, go country (Lodi), Cajun (Green River). Saw an interview with Orbison toward the end of his life, and he said he would have loved to cut a duet with JF. But, that signature beginning to Whipping Post was just the start of Berry's genius. Like Lynard Skynard, think their talent was discounted by ignorant critics who did not ever grasp Southern Rock. To miss these guys proves how ridiculous some critics are/were. And more than one big critic totally blew it.

I was at the Fillmore East Sat. early show, no kid 4th row, 3rd seat in, 1971, all were great ABB, Johnny Winter/Rick Derringer with Bobby Caldwell on drums who headlined, and the Elvin Bishop Band who opened.

[@fischkopf]

Just as the group was to take their second photo, Duane's dealer hands him a "special delivery" making the whole band burst in laughter as he hides it with both hands, out of lens.

I was fortunate to see these 3 times before Bill closed the east venue, came to believe with heart needing to hear these blues my therapy was kick into overdrive, not needing my head shrunk, but by being revive by these and many shows for a 1 1/2 I was was mailing these , I was hooked, couldn't, didn't want these days to ever end.

I would trade anything and everything to have been alive and there for when this was recorded.

The 3 thumbs down ? Are you out of your mind!! A great jam from the Fillmore East Album.One of the greatest live albums ever! RIP Sky Dog, Barry and Joseph "Red Dog" Campbell

I love this song so much I dreamed of it last night.

Berry Oakley was a monster bass player and the king of subtlety.

[@robertfriel7999]

c Brings the whole song together!

[@nachobra]

my absolute favorite moment starts at 20:48 , when the guitar makes these pained bends before slowly scaling down the neck like a tumbling snowball, building with intensity until the lowest note is reached & everything seems to fall apart. the second guitar makes those damaged squeals while the first sounds like an engine petering out, it’s absolutely incredible

[@MariaGarcia-rw3tk]

After the Allman Brothers had their first ever jam session when they were ready to leave Duane Allman stood at the door and said "Anyone who doesn't want to be in my band has to try and whip my ass before they leave.".

This one of the very best songs that is NEVER GOING TO BE FORGOTTEN by some of us old guys.....👍👍...it's timeless

And Berry and Butch. I don't know how much longer Dickey and Jaimoe are gonna stick around, but I'd certainly like for them to reunite at least one last time if possible, even if neither is exactly in his prime.

[@MrPoprstick]

The best version. For years, I listen, and I can always again. I know it by heart. If will someone change a single note, I would have noticed. When I want to calm down the ugly of everyday life, I listen Whipping Post or You don't love me, and I was reborn as a half hour.

[@MariaGarcia-rw3tk]

You don’t love me, is my favorite. These guys were awesome. I feel sad that they are no longer here. 😞

[@almaink]

A great song from what is IMO the best live album ever made.

[@gwilson420]

Its been recorded as such in the archives ..national I think

[@stevesab9248]

Long live The Allman Bros. Actually bought this album new over 40 years ago! Been a huge fan since I was a teenager. Have seen them live three times. They are arguably the biggest musical influence in my life. They turned me on to Southern Rock and to the Blues. "One Way Out" inspired me to learn how to play the guitar in H.S. I now own three guitars: a Gibson SG, a Fender Strat and a Gibson acoustic. For you readers out there, my daughter got me Gregg Allman's autobiography "My Cross To Bear". A must read for the consummate Allman Bros fan.

[@steverobbins5012]

I was lucky enough to see Duane and Dickey together and they were pure silk...72yrs. Old and that show was in early Sept. ‘71... it remains the best show of my lifetime!!

[@j.p.kempkes5103]

saw em do this in SF in '70 and they couldn't stop playing so went on for another five minutes with crashing, end-of-the-world endings...I ben voodoo'd ever since...

were you at the Fillmore west with Charlie Daniels Band and Marshall Tucker Band as well? I was there also

[@mikekoenig6467]

I had a spiritual awakening to this on a couple tabs. Never forget that night.

[@goldielocks4442]

OMG, CRACK ME UP! The BAND, GRATEFUL DEAD, and THE ALLMAN BROTHERS at Summer Jam Watkins Glen 1973; 600K, I don't remember how many TABS or it could have been window pane, blotter, it was spiked wine, who knows, I was on stage wrapped in plastic (raining, of course) standing in front of the speakers ...blasted! Born 1952, 67 1/2, My mother wouldn't let me go to Woodstock, I don't know why I listened to her that time!. Hitchhiked with a friend from CT to NY w/five rides a week early, met so many people, bumper to bumper from NY to CT going home. What a flipping blast!

Every time I say Whipping Post is my favorite song. I qualify it by saying Live at the Fillmore East.

[@jeffbritt5647]

I used to turn this song on when I left work in another town,about 15 miles away,I'd have to sit in my truck when I got home for a good while cause it runs so long...plus I was always hitting reverse on the cassette player.

[@goldielocks4442]

lmao, awww shit!

[@willclark2946]

Those were the days. I loved this album, perhaps the best live album of all time. Duane was a superstar, maybe the most inventive guitarist of that era. I have a rescue pup, he was born in Macon GA - I named him Sky Dog after Duane. The little SOB can't play guitar but he's a wonderful dog.

[@rustybird4955]

You suck .made me tear up .. bastard

[@mr.bluzhound2875]

Duane wasn’t ‘inventive’. He was just a maestro. What you heard was his real time thoughts coming out of the 4x12 cabs - in virtually real time. He didnt seem to fret notes on The guitar neck. No, by age 24 he was able to squeeze the sound in his head out of a guitar.

[@ClaudineyPerbony]

Best live Allman album. Wonderful

[@thedevine1628]

This has got to be the best dual guitar live song of all time. As a matter of fact, best dual guitar album period. Duane and Dickey played their tails off
