The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post (REACTION) with my wife

[@EdA1]

Thanks as always for doing my pick, I’m so happy that you were so moved by it! The Allman Brothers were one of the greatest American bands, and in my humble opinion, they were THE greatest! And another band where these guys were barely 20 years old at the time! But they grew up in the south they didn’t have much money and they spent their days living and loving music, that’s where it comes from… there is still so much Zeppelin for you to hear and I never thought I would send you something else, but I knew you had to hear this! And I love seeing your reactions. It makes it all worth it! I’ll get back to the Zeppelin next but by the way, if you’re going to do another Allman Brothers soon to me it needs to be One Way Out from the album Eat a Peach.. It’s a Live recording that features Duane Allman playing slide guitar but also Dickey Betts playing some great lead guitar as well. A true classic… Have a great day!❤❤❤

[@joemoe765]

So glad you mentioned Dickey here. I just requested Blue Sky. In my humble opinion., one of the most underrated guitar players ever! I've seen the ABB at least a dozen times, they were spot on every night and Dickey was amazing whether he was playing with Derek or Warren or anyone else. I think they'll love hearing Dickey every time!

[@EdA1]

@@joemoe765 absolutely I think Dickey is just as great a player as Duane Allman was but in a very different way! I had picked this song for them because they had not yet a song that had Duane on it, but yes absolutely agree. They have a lot to discover with this fantastic band! I’ve been playing in an Allman Brothers tribute band for the last 20 years and I get to do both parts depending on the song and I feel honored just to play their music!

Y'all are such beautiful people with such beautiful souls. Much love to the both of you. 🙏

[@edgarsnake2857]

I saw this band with Duane and Berry over 20 times. And Greg is as soulful as it gets. I love your enthusiastic response to this great band. Their live shows were amazing. You are both beautifully articulate about what you feel and what makes you happy.

[@derekdamms7380]

STOP KNOCKING YOURSELF DOMINIKA, YOU MAKE (PERFECT SENSE)

[@drgbg]

Your reaction is like a teenager from the 70's hearing this music for the very first time. Your excitement is really fun to watch. I would have been around 12 or 13 years old when this song came out. Great memories, thanks for sharing! I love you guys!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Cool, thanks! 💚

[@Rolling_Ronnie]

brilliant band and an incredible first album. Live at The Fillmore East captures just how good they were as musicians.

[@stuBdoc]

They actually had 2 studio albums prior to Live, which are both outstanding.

[@tuffymoon3702]

This song gives me goosebumps! He sings with so much soul!❤

[@debbiesinclair-o8m]

My favorite Allman Brothers song! I never tire of listening to it!!

[@off-kiltervapors4634]

I tell you it's like getting to hear these old song for the first time all over again watching you guys watch them for the first time. I don't really know how else to say it!

[@krisfox3537]

You guys are great. I always enjoy watching you enjoy the music I grew up on. There were so many great artists in the 60's and 70's. It's a long journey. Keep them coming.

[@johnfreeburn5459]

Not many people know the the Westside of Jacksonville, Fla. was the Southern Rock genre breeding ground! Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38-Special, Blackfoot, and Molly Hatchet among others! They all came from that rough side of town. I lived in Jacksonville and actually socialized with members of 38 Special! When Ronnie Van Zant (band leader, vocals, Lynyrd Skynyrd) composed their huge hit “Sweet Home Alabama” he said this song would be our “Whipping Post”. 🙏❤️🔥

[@garyrausch1184]

This was done by a bunch of early 20 year Olds, how they brought the excellence at that age

[@Joe-d3t1t]

All friends too. That’s todays issue, Hollywood picks “artists”. There are no life long buddies playing jams anymore. At a local bar, yes… On the radio, no.

[@paulweber686]

I am smitten by you two. Your astonished reactions to music that is designed to astonish you is very enjoyable to me. We all reacted at some point as you two do, and it is so enriching to me to see two good people, obviously in love, enjoy the shared experience. Best to you both.

[@vincentcorrigan5209]

I'm jealous of you guys. Listening to such amazing music for the first time. I'm still at it 50 years later.. Enjoy your ride.

[@Fuphyter]

I love The Allman Bros. ❤ they have their own sound and it rocks

[@GBeret83]

@MerchantofAlba, there's a video of the band performing this song live from the Filmore East in NYC from 70-71. Even if you don't react to the video, you two should really check it out to see just how incredibly musically gifted this band was.

[@beare55]

Duane Allman is in your left ear and the first lead break, Dickey Betts is in your right ear and the second lead break, one of the best rabbit holes of all!

[@jenniferfoster1692]

One of the best rock songs, period. Perfection.

[@SharilynBratton]

One of the best blues renditions ever, pure fire. I never get tired of hearing this one.

[@thomasp.3796]

Even though lots of people focus on the guitar in this band, you also want to notice how much is added by the keyboards. The keys add a level to the music that takes it where it would not be able to go otherwise. This song and Midnight Rider and Melissa all have amazing sound, partly due to the keyboards. That is Gregg Allman playing them while singing. Fantastic.

[@robertwalker1803]

54 years ago….Fire.Watch them do this live….unbelievable.

[@leahmcnatt7591]

I watch many reactions...Subscribed to your channel today, because your comments were so real and heartfelt! It's so fun to explore the history of certain songs. I guess I assumed this tune was an exploration of blues from a certain point of view. Never knew this was an original of Greg Allman! Will watch more of your reactions!!😊

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Many thanks 👍 Peace and love from Romania 💚

[@raycewilliams3300]

I was only 22 when I first heard this song back in 1969. Some music is Primal to me. It brings out thoughts and emotions that we never even knew that we had bottled up inside. This is one of those songs. Gregg's voice and his brother Duane used a musical technique called... "Call and Response". Gregg would sing and Duane would respond on his guitar. It's as though they are having a conversation. There was a tremendous amount of talent inside those two brothers. They will be both missed ...... But, at least, they left us with these wonderful songs. Take care...

[@SharilynBratton]

I just adore you two, you make my day so much better each time I watch your reactions!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Wow, thank you! 😊

[@JoeHicks-ow4rm]

In 1969 I was 16 years old. The first band I heard when I was introduced to hard rock was Led Zeppelin the second Black Sabbath and the third Allman Brothers with this song and ONE WAY OUT. Dewayne Allman one of the best blues guitarists and Greg Allman one of the best blues vocalists Janis Joplin being another. Rest in peace to them all. So again you have took back to my youth and pu another smile 😃 on my face. Thank you.

[@sandraandmichaelfield1602]

Me too! Born in 1953. We got to hear and see ALL the great bands at their peaks! With Peace and Love to you and all! (Michael)

[@JoeHicks-ow4rm]

@sandraandmichaelfield1602 I was also born in 1953. My older siblings all listened to rock and roll. As you know this was when rock actually got started, with Elvis, The Big Bopper and Jerry Lee Lewis. So of course I grew up in their shadows so I was into rock. Then came th 60s which in my opinion was the best decade. In '69 was when like I said I was introduced to hard rock. Then came the 80's and 90's which brought about heavy metal and alternative rock. In the 90's my son was in his teens and listened to Nirvana, Slipknot and Metallica. I at the the time was strictly into classic rock and couldn't stand that stuff. Then moving up to about 5 years ago I for some reason was listening to a Slipknot song and discovered that I actually like that kind of music. So as the old saying goes....you can't teach an old dog new tricks.....doesn't apply to me. Now some of my favorite bands are AC/DC, SLIPKNOT AND NIRVANA. But my heart still stays true to Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and the 60s.

[@Gloren50]

One of my favorite groups of the 1970s! Thanks for reacting to this song. Another favorite group of the period was Blood, Sweat and Tears, who were also masters at creating the Blues with an added jazz element.

[@SAM-dg3vd]

Greg Allman was 21 here. Dreamed the song, woke up and couldn't find a pen, wrote the lyrics on an ironing board cover using burnt out matches.

[@franksullivan1873]

Southern Blues music is so spiritual,it comes from your soul.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Thank you both for for your reactions, from a friend , thousands of miles away, but feel like you two are my favorite neighbors! ✌️.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you kindly 💚

[@claytonlecuyer1810]

Live atThe Fillmore East. Excellent album

[@edwardr5051]

Love the Allman Bros.treatment of 'Stormy Monday'. It's twice a classic when they do it and for me defines what Blues is. Guaranteed you Two will like it...Whatever, just keep doing the Allman Bros., Can't stop now..

[@markmurphy558]

I have to say, I am always in favor of studio versions first , both for reactors and fans. But Whippin' Post is an exception. Allman Bros really went national with the release of Live at the Fillmore East. Allman Brothers is a jam band with 2 drummers, two lead guitarists with Dickie Betts and Duane. If only on your own, listen to this song live. Please.

[@hlawrencepowell]

Said to be the greatest live album ever made.

[@jimmccaffrey5449]

It's so fun to watch your guys reaction to this....for many of us, we had this same reaction 50 years ago! You have to dig into the Live at Filmore East record!

[@827dusty]

These guys are just the Best. Greg and Duane Allman, and Dickie Betts are now in Heaven playing for the Lord. God Bless

[@mikemiller3069]

"Jessica" is my favorite Allman Brothers song. It is an instrumental but it is guaranteed to uplift your mood.

[@cynergy4]

I'm a little jealous of you two, knowing how much great music you have yet to experience. Each time watching you react is almost as good as hearing it for the first time myself! ❤

[@jenniferworley7115]

I graduated from high school in 1970 and the All man Brothers were another great addition to the music of my life. How lucky I was to be alive for the 60's and 70's. Every decade has some amazing artists but the 60's & 70's were just overflowing with iconic artists. Peace and love guys. I love reliving my initial experience with music as you guys experience it for the first time. You just keep me smiling.😁😃😄😁😊

[@paulr.3220]

Griswold High School, Griswold Ct. class of 1970 here. I agree with you totally.

BANGER / FIRE TUNE!!! THIS is also one of MY FAVORITE BANDS!!! GREAT REACTION, YOU-TWO!!! Another of my favorite songs by them: In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed Live at Fillmore East - SUCH A GREAT JAM!!! But: ANY ABB SONG IS FIRE!! So GLAD YA'LL ENJOYED IT!! :) ...and, WE LOVE YOU, BOTH!! Your personalities and enjoyment of the MUSIC is WHY WE'RE ALL HERE! :) ❤❤❤❤❤ Dominka: you can "go overboard", ANY TIME YOU LIKE, LADY!!! :) I'll be sitting out in the water on a floatie waiting for you and Andre to dive in and float down the river with me!!

[@SanJoseBob]

Dominica, you’re right. Greg Allman is one of the greatest voices in Blues. He also is playing the Organ. He was once married to the Legend “Cher”. They have a Son together named “Elija Blue”. He plays guitar in his mothers (Cher) band. Their lead guitarist, Dicky Betts past away last month, check out the song he wrote for the Allman’s band called “Jessica”, he wrote it for his daughter….. SanJoséBob

[@brianvangyzen6040]

I saw them in Providence, RI in 1975 after Duane had passed. They brought a friend on stage for a bit, as he was running for president, Jimmy Carter. You know it was a great tune because I saw it covered by Frank Zappa, with Steve Vai on lead. Freakin" amazing!!!

[@MemawAngie]

❤ The Allman Brothers home town of Macon, Georgia is less than an hour from me. I was rudely told that Macon was not their hometown. It could have been done in a more grown up way. Macon was what they called their base... Always loved this band. Sad when we lost Duane... broke my heart when Greg passed away. All time great Southern Rock. Thank you both for your reaction. You 2 are so real... ❤😊

[@cynergy4]

The brothers went to school at a military academy in my mom's hometown of Lebanon Tennessee. They hated it! They were born in nearby Nashville

[@soontobexpat]

They were both born in Tennessee too much moonshine for you maybe. Yes Duane Died in Macon but neither was born there. Also the band formed in Jacksonville FLA so maybe check your facts

[@salty-tomato]

@@soontobexpatright?! Florida is where the boys lived. Worked at Sears up in Daytona and lived around Jacksonville.

[@MemawAngie]

​@soontobexpat .. First of all.. Be kind! This is a wonderful channel. Macon Ga was the their base for many years. I checked my facts. They loved having their home base in Macon. Have a wonderful day and thank you for the clarity, even though you were mean. 😢

Oh, I do not drink alcohol. Shame on you for being so negative. Not necessary at all.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate your beautiful words 💚

[@mayLibertyprevail1a]

I can see how this song would touch you. He seems to sing it from the depths of his soul, and the music matches that passion so perfectly. It's rock, it's soul, it's blues, it's country, even a touch of psychedelic & gospel-style...all wrapped up in one amazing package! Love your "stink face" and enjoy your comments, even when they're off topic. 😝😆😁

[@Rolling_Ronnie]

Two lead guitarists and two drummers make all the difference!! Frank Zappa did a great version of Whipping Post too with Bobby Martin on vocals.

[@Roddy1965]

yeah, it's fantastic!

[@JasonRKoivu]

So much heart and soul went into the lyrics and vocals. And then you add to that the perfect backing instrumentation. Such power to match the heartache.

[@KrazyKatLadyx2]

Classic Allman Brothers and my favorite of theirs , you feel the turmoil throughout the instrumentals as well as the incredible vocal performance ❤

[@annereidy7981]

Good, glad you got to this song and, even better, you can watch the live performance from Fillmore East too!

[@ralpholson7616]

Led Zeppelin and the Allman Brothers are both blues based rock. That is why they make you feel the same way.

Duane had already done a lot of sessions work and knew exactly what he wanted the band to be. All this music goes back to the blues. The Blues done had a baby and they named the baby Rock and Roll. Love you guys!!!

You get all the fills when it comes The Allman Brothers! I loved your reaction! You should react to Chris Stapleton cover this, it's really good! You won't regret it & Chris was just in the audience & asked him to come up & sing a song. Sending love, peace & happiness, always! 🫶🏼✌🏼🙏🏼

LOVED you're reaction! The Allman Brothers didn't miss, Gregg Allman had a voice that many people don't have! ❤ Chris Stapleton covered this when he was just attending a dinner & they asked him if he would mind coming up & sing a song w/o any practice, @ the end of video, I saw Gregg Allman sitting in front row. Chris had to be nervous but he killed it! 🫶🏽✨️✌🏼🎵

I complement you again, your reactions are infectious. Both this one and CCR. I as 15 when I got into CCR and 17 for the Allman’s. Also your enthusiasm for the Band, Jackson Browne. I remember hearing that so long ago and felt similar to your reaction. That fire Allman Brothers album has all great songs, you can’t pick a bad one. Again I will exhort you to look into Tedeschi Trucks, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for a little joy today.

Dominika - very nice to hear you speak with such passion about the music. Andrea, you as well, the connection is powerful, isn't it....... Please listen to The Allman Brothers "Mountain Jam". It is a long song. But I think it's kind of unique with lots of solos by all the instruments including the drums. Wonderful song. I think you two guys will truly enjoy it. I do.

[@Zeb-gb2uk]

Greg Allman got the idea for this song in the middle of the night ,unable to find a pen ,pencil or paper he wrote the lyrics and music down on an ironing board with the end of the burnt matchsticks he was 21 years old Statesboro Blues live from fillmore east is a banger ✌️❤️

[@sandstonestudiollc4126]

Gregg Allman was 19-20 years old when was recorded. How crazy that he could sing with that much soul that young. Great reaction! You should listen to Ed, he knows the way.

Life for me without music wouldn't be worth the trouble of living it. ❤

[@sam-wz8tu]

The Allman brothers are an amazing band. I've loved them since the 70s. I would like to suggest, The Bluest Blues, by Alvin Lee. There's a song with SRV and Jeff Healy, called Look at Little Sister. SRV is amazing and Jeff Healy is a blind guitarist. The video will knock your socks off.

Yeah there is a lot going on in this song. One female reactor to WHIPPING POST said she was having an " EARGASM" . I thought she summed it up perfectly. It's a masterpiece of southern rock and roll. I've been listening to it since it was first released and am still amazed. ❤

Harmonizing between the two guitars (Dwayne & Dickie) and, occasionally, with the organ (Greg). Two drummers, frequently playing in union.
