If you can make it through this song without a tear runnin' down your cheek, you ain't right in the head.

Me and my cousin Mike played this song many times April 12th 1981 in the wine country of Northern California on our way to a wild boar pig roast.. we got separated and he drove home back to the bay area alone..he crashed and died that early morning..miss him and think about him every time I hear this song..😢

Had a GF a few years back who helped get me a 1997 American Fender Jazz bass that's my "go to" in my arsenal. It's warm and tender and smooth... like she was. All my basses have names. This particular one I named after her. TY Melissa.

That smooth solo takes me somewhere

So beautiful... world class musicians right there. R.I.P Greg Allman

4:20 - 5:20 is solid gold. Shows how having a great base player can compliment a great guitar player...

I have watched every available version of Melissa starting with videos in the 70's up until the 2 teens, and sadly you can see Mr. Allman getting weaker as time lapses. He still is awesome, but it's really sad to see a talent fade over time. It happens to all of us, despite our best efforts to fight off aging or illness. Gosh those early videos Mr. Allman was incredibly vibrant for obvious reasons. Now he will live on immemorial on KZfaq

R.I.p. my brother...

Man, I love the Allman Brothers Band

I'm a big ABB fan and Warren is Awesome, however I think the Acoustic versions of this Tune are so much better. Dickey and Warren Esp the duel lead at the end are Perfect!

Love this song. RIP Greg.

This brings back so many good memories from my childhood

Gregg, You had slowed down a bit around this time but then you seemed to rally some closer to when you passed. Every time I get a chance to watch a Melissa video or just play the song, I find that I love it even more. Rest in eternal peace, Gregg. You and Duane are back together in heaven jamming away. Maybe I'll get to see and hear you when it's my time! 🤞

Warren Haynes has it here

Sing on Mr Allman ! You are and forever be loved !!!!! 😌

I've been looking for this video for a while now. It's just so beautiful. Put's a tear in my eye

I'm going to be the first to comment that's it's badass that Warren is wearing an AC/DC t-shirt.

Love this song

RIP Gregg. Thanks for writing a song that I have been able to call my own. :-) Melissa

wow...so very much and yes to Butch and as time recently taken Greg into the ethers, never again will we be provided the live music to be the backdrop of our lives...Thank you all so very much Allman Bro's...very grateful here.

Love this song. Thanks to Warren Haynes. In my opinion this band would have never continued without him.

Seriously.... Warren Haynes is completely amazing.... I think Duane would approve.

rip dear Gregg

The guitar player looks like the redheaded son from American Chopper. He looks so cool. Thank you for the great music.

The drummer is about as mellow as mellow can be.

A song Gregg sold the rights to for peanuts originally in early days, still good as gold

RIP Butch Trucks

Great musicians still doing well, man a lot of them have come and gone in this band and others.

Roll on gypsy. RIP Brother Gregg. From here in Macon

Warren Haynes...nuff said

WARREN ROCKS SO COOL

Epic jamm

NICE and it's my daughter in law's birthday today. Her name is Melissa.

MIGHTY TASTEY, FLY ON BROTHER.

Wow. Thanks so Much. do you have the entire concert? Would love to see it. Thank You for posting these.

All 3 of Zep's line up are at the top of the food chain of rock and roll,but Duane would have held his own with Jimmy

Where’s Derek Trucks? Didn’t he become a member in like 1999?

Where is Dickey Betts

Patti now

Oops, one more 'g'.

Awesome song,and not even comparable to Led Zep drummer or Jimmy Page or Robert Plant

still cant believe the death of trucks so shocking rip :(
