Live version at the "Fillmore East" in 1971 is a MUST. In fact, that album is in the Library of Congress. It is hailed as one of the best, if not THE best, live albums of all time. PS- Whipping Post, "Live at Fillmore East" goes for like 22 minutes. PSS- Gregg was 23 and belted out vocals like a 60 y/o bluesman! Duane was 25. Hell, the entire band was barely old enough to drink.

I slowly crept up to the window of the basement in the city center and of course there were several boys, 7-8 years older than me 'rolling' , sipping beers, chilling and listening to records. The sound of that Duane electric guitar and voice of Greg was the discovery of something completely unknown and new for me.. I fell in love with rock and roll, blues, soul... I have never forgotten that first discovery and feeling of listening the gramophone records and Allman brothers music...the stale smell of beer, moisture, 'cigarettes' all-mixed in the basement..😏🤘

Thanks for bringing back the memories of my younger days. Nothing like The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Marshall Tucker to get a taste of Southern Rock/Blues. Another band that may have not had the same popularity but had a good sound, was Black Oak Arkansas, especially when they sang with the amazing Ruby Starr. Unfortunately she left us way too early.

[@richdiddens4059]

You may also want to try Delaney and Bonnie and Friends. It had a variable lineup of "friends" for the long tour. The constants were Eric Clapton and Rita Coolidge. I believe Bobby Whitlock and Leon Russel made most of the tour. Others included Paul McCartney, Duane Allman, Greg Allman, Dave Mason, and possibly Isaac Hayes. At one tour stop it's rumored that their back up guitarists were Clapton, McCartney, and Duane Allman with Greg backing up on keyboard. When they broke up their horn section became the Rolling Stones longtime horns and some of the rest of their band joined Eric Clapton to form Derek and the Dominoes.

[@pamelascott5702]

A little more Southern Rock. This is definitely 70’s. True story: there was a man from my hometown (which I still currently reside) who was a stage hand for the Allman Brothers for many many years. In the early 80’s he came back home. Well...... old guy had partied way to hard with them back then. Our community never knew what we may see from day to day from him. U see, he purchased a home right on the main drag(Main Street). One morning before school, my uncle carried my 2 cousins and myself to a local fast food restaurant to get a breakfast biscuit and when we passed by the guys house, he was sitting on the porch butt naked. My uncle couldn’t get to the nearest pay phone fast enough. Lol. I can’t help but think of him every time I hear the Allman Brorhers. He passed away several years ago.

[@tedschmidt3288]

My favorite band! I was fortunate at 16 y/o to catch them live at the Spectrum in Philly about a month or two after they cut their masterpiece in NY at the Fillmore East. As folks below mentioned, the live album is, "At Fillmore East" and many consider it the finest live Blues/Rock ever recorded. Be aware, most songs are WELL over 3/4 minutes long but not a wasted note. Also, this concert spills over to their next album, "Eat A Peach", a mix of live and studio. Well worth it, especially "Mountain Jam", a 33 minute plus song that has Duane doing some brilliant slide work after the drum solo, which by the way he's credited for inventing electric lead slide when his brother Gregg sent him some Coricidin pills for a cold and he emptied the bottle, put it on his finger and the rest is history.

[@mythicalmountancentralasia6183]

Your reaction hearing "Whipping Post" for the first time was probably something akin to mine, only mine was around 50 years ago. Powerful, emotional stuff. The guitar, Bass, percussion, and organ crescendo near the end grabs you deep inside. Hard to fathom that Gregg Allman was all of 21-22 when they originally recorded this tune, what a voice. Duane's guitar cried as Eric Clapton said.

[@dknicely1]

Some good'old Southern Rock out of Macon, Georgia. Two stunning guitarist, Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, with brother Greg Allman primary vocals. At Fillmore East is considered by many to be the greatest live album ever. You've heard Duane on Eric Clapton's Layla. Duane was killed by a motorcycle accident in 1971 and was replaced by another legendary musician Warren Hayes. Greg Allman died just last year. Songs: Jessica, Soulshine, Midnight Rider, Melissa, Statesboro Blues, It's Not My Cross to Bear, One Way Out, and list goes on and on. This is a band that is best listened to on one of their live albums because they will break out into 5, 10, 15, sometimes longer jams in the middle of their songs.

Only recently found this channel but have been loving your reactions, expecially to the Stevie Ray Vaughan stuff. Oh, and you have the same headphones as me by the looks (Audio Technica ATH-M50).

That was by far the most fun I’ve had today! They were incredible live. Off the hook. Amazing guitarists playing off each other from the original band thru the final line-up. I heard that for the first time live. I heard pretty much all ABB songs first at their shows. Off the hook. Other Deadheads got me into em. Crazy. Late ‘80s in NC -a whole section of the parking lot roped off for bikers. And a crazy 5 night run at the Warfield in SanFrancisco in 94. To the Peachfest in PA from first til their last. They’re amazing live!

For many years the band played a bunch of shows at the Beacon Theater NYC, every year. I saw them a bunch of times. One of the best live bands I've ever seen.
