"Whipping Post" by The Allman Brothers Band

[@Johnjingleheimerschmidtt]

At 04:41 -- where Derek throws off his slide -- I could have run though a brick wall, my soul ascended to Nirvana, I forgot who I was. Tell me he's not top 10 greatest guitar players to ever live... I dare you. Good lordt. We all talk about wishing we could have seen Hendrix, SRV, Duane... but here is Derek. He's right here. Wow.

[@mejsjalv]

Absolutely no disrespect to Duane Allman. But Derek Trucks is way better.

[@Johnjingleheimerschmidtt]

@@mejsjalv Oh for sure. Duane was the trailblazer, though, and that gives him special place.

No matter what time period you look at, whether its the original Duane and dickey or modern Haynes and trucks, this band has had some of the greatest guitar players to ever live

[@georgegardner6683]

Amen to that A LEGACY larger than even the members themselves

[@j.m.zimmerman5684]

Dalton, there has never been a band that literally taught this as The Allman Brothers have, and until VERY recently have continued to, and as u wrote , the guitar players, wow, that's all that can be said, nobody can ever criticize the quality of the artists who have played for the band, every one of them have shown their extreme talent both with the band and on their own with industry leading, public adoring bands many of which are today leaders of the genre, always and forever- A.B.B. !

[@tomwright4984]

Well said Dalton. Totally agree. Warren is my favorite but all are legends.

[@STSGuitar16]

In my personal opinion, Haynes and Trucks was the best lineup since the original Dickey and Duane. Without those two at the forefront of this band, I don't believe they would have seen the continued success and popularity that they did in the modern era. Not trying to knock the other various lineups featuring Dickey and other guys, but I don't personally see them being as successful all the way into 2014 as they were with Haynes and the absolute mastery of Trucks. Just my two cents.

Every single member of this band at one point is smiling or grinning. They captured something special on this night. The greatest rhythm section ever coupled with absolutely great guitar playing makes for a special version of this classic. Rest in peace Gregg, Butch, Berry, Lamar, Dangerous Dan and Duane. The road goes on forever. I give it 10/10.

Living within 1 hour of THREE different venues this band loved to play between the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s, I had the pleasure of seeing virtually every version of The Allman Brothers Band (after Dwayne passed). Every version was mind blowingly fantastic. Even when Greg wasn’t well enough to tour, the band played as BHLT (Betts, Hall, Lavelle & Trucks) to keep the band together and keep everything going!

[@brittonballenger3214]

Me too from Sptbg. My 1st was Charlotte NC 1970 or 71 at a ball park downtown. Yall remember that one ? Dwayne Allman was there and he stumbled a few times over cords on the stage . Or he was as high as I was. . . .THE VERY BEST BAND from start to finish , PERIOD!!!

[@berretta9mm17]

Some of the finest ensemble playing ever performed. This was always meant to be a live band - and no matter how good it sounds through speakers or headphones, there will never be any way to hear it the way it was played: when you look at the sheer volume of drums and rhythm section instruments arrayed across the back of that stage, it becomes inconceivable to imagine how they all sound when played by master players, live, unless you were there. In unison, these instruments became like a breathing, living, beating, organic being. No recording, no matter how well done, could possibly fit all of the endless dynamics of a band like this, on any medium - and this is only getting as far as the drums. A live gig by this band was the closest thing to musical perfection I have ever heard - and I am 70 years old. There will always be great bands - but this one was something very, very special. Many people think that Duane Allman was unknown prior to this band's rise: not so. Like many of our greatest players from that era, he was already very well known as a session musician, who had played for performers like Boz Scaggs, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, and others, a good while prior to the formation of The Allman Brothers Band. His style lives on, through players like you hear on this recording, but he died far, far too soon.

[@joegreatmusicfirstweir9646]

I stay away from the ABB for time periods and travel around the musical universe listening. Saw this pop up and thought “Shoot, Ive heard this song so many times, but what the heck..” Then they remind me why they were the greatest rock band in the USA. I dont even call it rock, its just a high. Its High Music. Derek just smoked that initial solo. He really did summon Duane so much. Not just in style but the way he motivates the rhythm section to lock in and rev up. Holy crap this was an amazing performance. Never tire of the ABB. I may not listen weekly, but about 4 or five times a year the Allman Brothers Band will always be dominating my musical roots and elevate my heart and mind to remember the hope in music. Amazing. So so glad they caught this on film.

@@GPaulTheThrashKing "Ok boomer"? How creative. Bet you've had that in the chamber for a while. Why are young folks so defensive about our appreciation for our music? BTW, I did check out your suggestions. Polphya: not bad, but the video was boring in and of itself. And the head-banging guy? 1980 called and they want him back. And Arschpire: gawd, what drivel that was. To each his own, but that was awful on many levels.

[@GPaulTheThrashKing]

@@dalezjc >What happened to real music? >Thank God I grew up in the 60s and heard all this great music the first time around. The problem is not that we're defensive; It's that you're demeaning. Profoundly, ridiculously demeaning. Rock in particular has this problem, where old bands, instead of stepping out of the limelight, or maybe playing a few gigs here and there, clog up the festival main stages for DECADES after their prime. You old farts are killing the music you claim to love. Why should any young person get into rock music when it's "What happened to real music? When I was your age we had Foghat (or whoever)?" Why should any young person even bother to pick up a guitar when stupid old people will just keep bitching about how "You're not as good as the bands in the 70's." Even when bands are inspired by old bands, they're just revanchists, never as good as the original. The only reason the music of your youth exists is because the previous generation of old guys in suits went "I don't know what this is but the kids seem to dig it, " so why doesn't your generation do the same? Nah man. The Allman Brothers is great. ZZ Top is great. Zeppelin is great. But people like you who are stuck in the past and shit on the present suck.

[@dalezjc]

@@GPaulTheThrashKing Thanks for your response. You're still being defensive, but that's okay. My father was an amateur jazz musician, and I grew up hearing tons of jazz. I hated it at the time, but little did I know that it was affecting me in a very positive way. But I never ragged on my Dad (or people his age) for loving music from their generation. I just didn't seek it out, so there was never any animosity against it. Why does it bother you so much that bands from the 60s/70s are still touring? To be frank, most of these bands have lost their mojo, and the majority of the lead singers can't sing any longer (compared to their earlier days). But boomers love them, so why not tour? Note that music subjective for sure. Whether I think I grew up in the greatest generation for music, is irrelevant for younger people. And I don't care. I heard Buddy Holly, Elvis, and The Beatles as a first-generation fan, and that music was brand new at the time. Nothing like it had ever been heard. Everything since then has been derivative of that music. And factor in blues greats like Albert King, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Freddie King, and BB King, and you have another genre that influenced tons of rock artists. That's important to the history of rock. You don't have to like it, but it is what it is. And doo-wop music is just as important. I don't care for most of it, but it's important. Sorry for rambling.

I was blessed to see the original lineup my first semester at college…..New Mexico State University! October 6, 1971. Some buddies and I were picked out by our RA to unload the trucks and hump their gear to the stage for the roadies to set up. We got to hang around for the sound check, got into the concert for free and watch from stage left. They played the next night in San Diego, then went back to Macon, where Duane lost his life 13 days later. So I was also blessed to see his next to last performance before we lost him.

[@johnfoster535]

...worked their show in 1973, on stage crew as a young teen. Greg Allman's keyboard bench and mic boom stand were left behind for an unknown reason....they wound up in my basement to be used in my local group..... long gone now. I witnessed the greatness of Greg from only a few feet behind him, just out of the spotlight. " Brothers and Sisters" had just come out with " Jessica " being the big hit, along with Dickie singing " Ramblin Man ". What a memory and thrill ! Their stage manager was named " Twigs" and I kept forgetting it, accidentally calling him " Sticks" a couple of times until he threatened to " kick my Yankee ASS !! " That went over BIG with my co- workers !! Lucky me, I had seen them live in Boston Common while Duane and Berry Oakley were alive when I was 15. The Allman Bros. Band was great right out of the box : Elizabeth Reed, Midnight Rider, Whipping Post all GIANT songs with their unique sound......unforgettable !!

Ladies and Gentlemen,,,,please give a round of applause to Mr.Butch Trucks....master percussionist in The Allman Brothers Band.....we miss you........

[@daledeimel1833]

Much compares but nothing is this good. Greg outlived his father and Duane by many years. Nothing crazy he just did. Now he is with them. Long Live the Allman Brothers...

[@MrLightning59]

RIP Greg. Thanks for all those years of good music.

[@yancyjenkinssr1824]

Such a soulful voice. 'Just 'Ain't my cross to bear' did it for me 1st time I heard it!

[@kevinkilduff2064]

For my money the best blues song ever made! No one could perform it better than the Allman Brothers.

[@martinparmer]

Can you imagine, butch trucks listening to Derrick play on this? He was there on the orginal. Good Heavens.

[@normcook9335]

That's quite the lineup.

[@AMERICANPATRIOT1945]

The Allman Brothers are one of the greatest bands to have ever graced the face of the Earth!

[@davidmckay9552]

god was that good....and we've got it forever

[@fabspartan95]

For this Southern boy, there was never a better band. 'Nuff said.

[@robjontay5052]

Even for us Nawthenahs....We packed The Beacon Theater in New York City year after year after year night after night. And the Best live album of all time called At Filmore East was packed with us too in New York City. God Bless the Allman Brothers, Georgia and everyone who has ever played in their band...Thank you.

[@getinit56]

I've watched several bands in my life but none gives the live experience that the ABB did (oddly, the only other band I can relate it to is Tool. Completely on another level). Radio doesn't do them justice. Watching all that come together is complete magic. It's been 23 years since I seen them in that very place, The Fox, and it will never be forgotten.

[@robertvonbargen8677]

NYC/LA,CAL But you don't love anymore than I have for all these years!

[@waynej2608]

@@robjontay5052 Right on. It's coz we dig great music! No matter it's origin. And The Allman Bros, were a smokin band!

[@richardbazile4455]

If you have to do all that says it all, thats why i love the old guys,

[@shoemaker688]

Hell of a bass player. He is seriously fantastic.

[@mythicalmountancentralasia6183]

The ABB have always been tight. You don't hear one soloist blowing away others, drummers pounding over guitars and vocals, everything was always in tune and in a state of homeostasis and symbiosis on stage, one feed off the other, tempos and timing impeccable.

[@tomfile3131]

That's an excellent observation.

[@jdomerparkerjr3421]

Are you a musician? If you're not it's not too late to "learn a new trick!"

[@Carlschwamberger1]

Agree. this is not a easy bit of music. I've heard more than a few bands turn it into a train wreck, & others decline to try it. ABB members pass the test 100%

[@86Prendiville]

Best KZbin comment. Right on, and something Derek Trucks as spoke about many times, saying that requires years of playing together

[@petey0404]

I would have given a thousand dollars to have seen this performance.

[@karilang9377]

Me too 😢

[@cavscout62]

I remember Derek Trucks 1st performance with the Brothers at age 13 and man he’s just the best. Watching him cook up a solo is absolutely stunning. The Brothers are without a doubt the greatest band America has ever produced.😎

[@jimihendrix4376]

I feel like old age and life has tied me to the Whipping Post!

[@caminoracer7987]

Going to see The Allman Brothers in concert outdoors at Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta I walked away knowing this wasn't just a concert it was an experience like no other !!!

[@jaytroxel3495]

RIP Butch..... RIP Dwayne... RIP Gregg... RIP Berry.. RIP Allen W. .. RIP Dan T.

[@robertsuitsjr6117]

Oteil is still alive and playing, his brother Kofi died a few years ago though.

[@jaytroxel3495]

@@robertsuitsjr6117 thank you. I definitely had the two brothers confused.

[@markcorley]

And now Dickey

[@williamhilinsky1327]

The greatest jam band in rock history, sorry Jerry and Dead Heads, it's true, the Dead couldn't hold a candle to the Allman's.

[@augustwest4233]

😂😂😂

[@danielledeal8600]

No it s a tie

[@maddhatter3062]

That would be the silliest debate of all time. Deadheads LOVE the Allman Brothers Band. ❤

[@mattwitheymusic]

Id go as far to say Truck's solo is the best I've ever heard. No one builds solos like he does. It's like boiling a kettle, that one was a double boil though. :D

[@DoAllUCan2StanD]

Double cookin' drummers! Far out, 1of my most favorite songs of all time &always relevant. life.

Can't go on some good Down south southern Rock/Blues Awesome

Lindsey Buckingham as well.....There are some GREAT Guitarists in this world. We love them ALL. They bring us joy like nothing else can.....

[@wheelgunner1970]

He’s burning up that SG for sure!

[@billhoerter4917]

Derek can get into the moment with every bit the skill of his uncle, Butch -- Gregg, Dickey and the original Allman, Duane. his solos are absolutely freakin' amazing. Makes me long for the 70's over and over -- but I'll take this band every time. RIP Gregg, now, as well. The world is a little less off without them.

[@robertfrie1908]

Time to lite up a joint. Good god what a demo!

[@michaelalan1270]

at 81 being from Atlanta I remember listening to this in the late 60's early 70's. Those were the days of the best rock and roll and blues.

[@vastucson]

One of the tightest performances by any any band I’ve ever heard. Virtuoso playing all around. Never get tired of this video!

[@joegreatmusicfirstweir9646]

[@Litmus63]

Sounds better than Live At The Fillmore version to me.

[@Litmus63]

Yes. Most likely the guys are not blasted out of their minds so that helps. To me Whipping Post being played here sounds better than Whipping Post on Live At The Fillmore (ABB).

[@ccooper8040]

At 63 yo this brings back so great many memories of better times when people and daily life was real. Those times are gone. God help us all.

[@rogerhinkle9698]

Amen to that I miss those days

Der Bass ist großartig

[@pkmatt3]

ROCK has given many millions comfort, excitement, working on a good thing by working hard, then relaxing with my woman or because we are not programmed, we also get the blues and this is my testament, take me to the whipping post, hitting me hard and teaching me what, be true & let everything else fly away, a drink, a smoke, a woman & rock-n-roll what more do you need!!!!! many views are never the same, this the miracle of rock

[@gerrymcguire7521]

I am breathless!

[@dougj7295]

Have to agree this version is seriously up there with any version of this song post Duane. Derek kills and Warrens slow interface with Oteil and build up to catch on board to the rhythm section speeding up like a locomotive is amazing. Greg vocals right there. Funniest part of this concert was every time that Derek or Warren or Greg or the Bros were on stage - you could always see Vince Gil behind the drums peering in to get a good angle.

[@roseb4453]

Oteil (Bass Player) took the rhythm section to a whole new level

[@michaelaronson9447]

This was and is my generation. It doesn’t get better than this. WOW.
