How astute that philosopher was !!!

in agreement

Fuck the philosophers, lets play!

I never get tired of listening to Duane Allman play...so much feeling

Gilles Deleuze

Yes Sir ..... I got discharged May 73' shortly after saw them w/ the Dead in DC .... Whew !

p.s. I spelled your name wrong TB

Don't forget Jazzy and pure fusion..They did it all..Such a SHAME DUANE and BERRY DIED SO YOUNG...OAKLEY WAS 1 HELL OF A BASSIST..

And higher than a bats ass too. That’s the tightness. Get a buzz.

The way it’s suppose to be!

Wrong. This song will go with you to the promised land where it will sound even better. Live on Gregg and Duane, Rock on Gregg and Duane. WE all love the Brothers................

Well they'll be playing this in heaven...as well..😉

When I was a kid growing up in LA, Joe Benson had a progam on KLOS called Seventh Day, on Sunday night he played seven albums, one night he played physical graffiti, which I taped, right before that album he played one way out, which i also taped, and this going into custard pie sounds so good!

Amen

Yep

Me too- April 1971 (I think) at Penn State. What I remember is lots of weed , among entertainers and the entertained... Loved them but was too stupid, er.. or something, to fully appreciate the extent of what was unfolding before me.

OMG!

@@brentonhorner9998 . Bx. X ... CM C .

Special and a whole hell of a lot of then some ! Can I get an Amen ? ! 😎❤️🇺🇸🎸🎸🎸💽💽💽

I think they are at the top. The musicianship is unmatched

I heartily concur. Saw them at least a dozen times including twice w Skydog, RIP.

I saw the last concert Duane did with the Allmans before he passed. It was painters mill in Maryland, and it was the best concert along with Derek and Domines concert too. Duane's stage presence was awesome. He constantly stared into the audience and you felt like he was looking right at you.

Excellent analysis & summary. Let us not forget the fabulous sometimes dueling slide & lead guitars of "Sky Dog" & Dickie Betts.

None Better ! What a time to be alive ! Does anyone else ever seriously thank God for when and where they grew up ? Of course you do ! ! Bend those strings gentleman. Thank you again and again . 😎🇺🇸❤️🎸🎸🎸💽💽💽

+earthcem mediano billionth time hell yes!!

+earthcem mediano I never get tired of this recording

Absolute perfection!

+earthcem mediano perfect point. they just always have and still do the music right

+earthcem mediano AMEN...I've been l,listening to this song since it came out over 4 DECADES..On The "Eat A Peach" Album.

And almost 47 since I saw them last. Where's the time go?

Blues Chewy dickie is good bit duane was his partner

Been my favorite guitar player for 50 years now.

blue crane .. he would have played with everyone and they would have been in awe..

Gregg's voice is good, but it ain't nowhere as good as Duane on the slide guitar. C'mon.

Greg's voice is absolutely phenomenon! One of the greatest singers ever! He will be missed.

I'm loving lots of (male) voices, but I adore just four of them. And my favourite depends on who is akshuly singin'. These four are Gregory L. Allman, John Lennon, Peter Tosh and Frank Zappa. And then there are the acrobats on vocals. They were great when they were young. Their names are Robert Plant and David Lee Roth. Thanks to GOD, that they all were taped at their peak, so they are immortal...

None!

nice

+Abe Maya Agree, best guitar duo. Not Classic Rock. That would be Kiss, Journey, Survivor, even Stones, Beatles, etc. ABB was blues, primarily. Rock infused but blues.

+Abe Maya Please, Dear, don't call that "Classic Rock"!!!

I meant rock that was not pop and the rock that lives forever. The Stones Mick Taylor/Keith ala 1972 was great. Although if Brian didn't get so messed up it would have been great to see what they would have done. The recordings with Brian still had that fuzzy sound.

I agree since that term didn't even exist until the 80's.

unless maybe you put Duane with Eric Clapton on Derek and The Dominos. Not surprising what those 2 duos have in common, huh?

Thomas Ballenger spot on

rd f It's probably a safe bet that there won't ever be anyone as great a slide player as Duane. Besides being high all the time, he wasn't nicknamed "Skydog" for nothing.

+rd f Saying he was the best slide guitarist ever is forgetting the other side of him. He just was an all around natural. The guitar was like an extension of his arms and hands. When you heard him, and I used to look around me at the concerts while he was playing, and everyone had their mouths open just like he did.

+rd f ahh Duane,and what about Joe Walsh?Slide guitar Playin Fools,what talent

Joe is all right. I have seen him with the James Gang and several times with the Eagles. His slide is just slide. He doesn't even play open E. Duane was a master of his guitars. He could play jazz (Herbie Mann and others), he could play rock (Layla and other love songs), he could play blues (goes without saying), he probably would have learned to play classical if he lived to be 25. He was what anyone would have called a natural. Just listen to Little Martha. Yeah, he did it with Dickie, but the incredible parts are all him. No one has been able to duplicate it. If you listen to him on Dickie's In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, or on Boz Scaggs Loan Me a Dime, he was the best. But as Clapton said, his playing on Wilson Pickett's Hey Jude was the best rock and roll guitar ever.

Kevin Davis Wow, you have great taste. "Little Martha" is a delight. It has so much going on for a simple instrumental composition. Duane and his guitar were one. Another one who became one with his instrument (in this instance, the bass of the brilliant Jaco Pastorius). Dammit Skydog, why'd you have to like riding motorcyles??

you are sure right, all time great

Can't we track down and deport the 37 pinheads who found it necessary to give this a 'thumbs down'.... tasteless and un-American !

What???

What you said..." What" ?

went to see them every new years eve at the FOX theater they played for four hours until the fire marshal said no more

Back then even radio actually played great guitarists. Now days, it's so focused on singing and singers! Even country music suffers from this malady.

A

AMEN BROTHER!!! The Best Time EVER to have been Alive!!!

+Kevin Brown - Thankfully, it sounds like you never listened to the Arista albums. If you haven't - don't!

J

For me, it was Duane's 'expressive slide'. The little nuanced bites he would insert between notes. He was amazing for that. It always impressed me so much. Like Toy Caldwell being able to play like he did with no pick. Almost like he played lead and rhythm at the same time lol. Gosh I miss these times.

saw the original Bros three times..........I was very lucky

So so true. Just great music!!!!

@@davidringo1399 Yes lucky you. Aw wish I could have been there. Bless.

Hey u Darren Taylor is me the guy u got credit for the song s I wrote you should have a copy of the song this reply is about it may be a good idea for you to do it today

bxgy Wow !! What a wonderful event to have seen. I can't imagine ,!

Those times our gone forever, think goodness I was a young man in the 70s, a wonderful part of the past!

Wish I could have, I'm only 15😥🙁

Yes Lawd!!

You forgot about the moonshine and marijuana. Gotta love those southern friday and saturday nights.

That song it was theirs?

Kevin Davis Hendrix could play circles around Duane Allman.

tracy smith 2 different styles but both outstanding musicians in their own right...

clemenza24 Jimi was great in anybody's right not just his own.

+tracy smith p;lease tell me something I dont know FYI They are releasing the concert Jimi played on July 4th 1970 which was the largest crowd Jimi ever played in front of( at Woodstock only 50,000 were left remaining when Jimi took the stage Monday morning) Allman Brothers were on the under card.It will air on I believe Showtime in September

clemenza24 Yeah it was Monday morning when Jimi came on stage,you ever thought people had to go to work,After all Monday is a work day.

second only to Hot 'Lanta

Jaimoe, and, Butch were a PHENOMINAL pair of Drummers, No 1 on my American Drummers list, jus sayin ! 😎✌😎!

I always wondered whether Duane's lead line coming out of the call-and-response section between he and Dickey threw Berry off... regardless, the way the band was able to seamlessly figure it out was like they had been playing together for decades...

"loved" i my case. i wish these dinosaur bands would pack up. i don't mean stop playing but go in a new direction with a new name. apparently dickey betts got fed up with the same old thing and quit. good for him.

i don't want to argue as we like the same music but the thing i like about duane's' playing is the rough edge. i never thought of him as "smooth"

Frere anak tom i guess "smooth", wasnt the greatest word to describe him, i agree with you. He is and was, simply, mega talented and unique. there has yet to be another like him, in my opinion, too bad.....

if you like gregg's bluesy vocals, checkout polish group DZEM from the 'eighties. their [late lamented] vocalist, riedel, blows me away and i am a tired old man the rest of the week! OH SLODKA couple of good renditions on you tube. don't care about translations - the man had soul- so evident, and the band super talented.

Freewheeling Frere im sure i will enjoy them based upon your description of the group, and your appreciation for this song. thank you

Freewheeling Frere

james miller 8 tracks lol what a give away. someone as old as me!

Doug G Yea man. The iphones and KZfaq is much clearer music but vinyl and 8 tracks sure was cool back then huh!

I did too..and some 33,s....saw them 3 times..original Bros.......

Hahaha.....love it!

@@kellykilcullen7889 no

No doubt his slide on Layla 2:20-3:10 might be the best in rock history

Derek Trucks Can

@@stevedavis8123 Yeah, have seen Derek in the last version of the AB band and just about every salute to anyone documentary. He'll end up being one of the best, if he isn't already.

Amen! If this doesn't move ya you must be dead! Rock N Roll!!!

In the 1970's, somebody slipped me the cassette of the Allman Brothers, Live at the Fillmore East. It was my 1st introduction to Southern Rock! I loved it so much that I saw them live, about 15x's! When Gregg does that growl-MMmm😍! This band was always tight, on time & Duane & Dickie playing off each other was insane! These Legends will live on forever through their great music. Always a thrill to see them live! I know Gregg, Duane, Burch, etc., are rocking up in heaven. Thank you guys! Much respect & LOVE!💜 R.I.P.

Elvis still at a young age could sing blues. He was best first ten years of life.

They just don't make music like that anymore. And we had it in spades. The Dead, The Stones, The Who, Dylan, Van Morrisson, etc etc

All there waiting, Steve, Dwayne, Hendrix, Janis, BB, Gregg, so many. Imagine if they are all there forever.

Legendary

Allan bros the best original American bands ever will never die or forget the bros

agreed

yep! nuff said.

totally cool. Where is your ranch ONE WAY OUT? I must have been all of 17 when I saw these guys. Decades later....

+gerry Orangefan there are assholes everywhere

assholes/arseholes hopefully concealed in undergarments. they are entitled to their opinion but i wonder why they came to this site in the first place. i came to worship duane; why did they come?

That's one of the best bands God put on this planet God Rest Gregg Allman 🙏

The Haters will ALWAYS Be Hating!!! Thank God these guys came from a time in our history when Live&Peace we're the name of the game!

Crap Sorry! I meant to say Love & Peace!!! Lol!

1906sfjd That's your opinion.

+tracy smith Really? You mad?

Blizzerd84 Why because of your opinion?Don't play yourself .

+1906sfjd I agree and that's my opinion.

mungostjohn Yeah and?

Hendrix couldn't shine Duane's shoes when it comes to actually playing the guitar. Duane was far superior in technical ability, and he didn't use gimmicks, feedback, noise, or showmanship. Duane's playing was all the show he ever needed or wanted.

R.I.P. Gregg Allman, One of the greats

Hitting the note, as they say!

YESSIR !!

John Reynolds Yes they did, the concert was invitation only, and most of them were fellow musicians who definitely could appreciate that they were hearing something timeless.

You are so right. I saw them at the Filmore, they were still fairly unknown and Lord knows I was blown away by the experience. Such a tight band!

You got that right, brother! He flat out torches it!

ALL of them were!

Such an underrated guitarist...a legend in every right

He bent that guitar...smokin hot

@@michaelcraig9449 hell yeah.

LS was great but AB were the original that showed the way.
