He was a good ol’ southern boy who just happened to be very talented. R.I.P. Gregg Allman!

What a pair of geniuses. We were blessed to have them making music.

Greatest white blues singer to ever roam the face of the earth

Gregg lived behind me in Richmond Hill, Ga. He drove a special colored corvette a lot everywhere with also his bikes. We used to drive up his neighborhood and went to his door a couple times. His planter by the front door was a pair of his jeans shellacked. He sent me and my husband an 8x10 signed photo which I still have. This was over 20 years ago. Absolutely loved running into him around town. Nicest most polite soft spoken man you would ever meet… sweet memories!!

There'll never be another like him! RIP

We booked him for one of our Love Rides. When he sat at the keyboards and played, "I'm no Angel," I've never heard a more powerful beginning to a concert. His musicianship was amazing.

Such a sweet man, so candid and very down to earth..RIP Greg...

The guy was absolutely as real as a performer can be. When you do something about him you hear his life running through the veins of this instrument and in the lyrics of his songs. He wrote songs in such a way that almost everyone can relate to the changes, the pain, the surprises, the desperation of just what life can hand Us. Having work to show circuit on the road for over 20 years myself I can relate to the midnight Rider and so many other songs. Rip Gregg I wish I had gotten to meet you hopefully we will meet on the other side

I remember back when I was barely in my 20's, around 1974, lying on my king-size waterbed, stoned to the gills on acid, my headphones clamped to my head, listening to the 4 or 5 Allman Brothers' Band albums I had, one after the other. One of the all-time best concerts I ever had the privilege of hearing in my life.

Their music is a friendly reminder of my life lived. But I have always loved him and his lyrics. A darkness was always around him but he kept going with that sweet smile. He is so missed today. And when any of his songs come on the radio I crank the volumn up and the world slips away.

Amazing musician...so glad I had the privilege of seeing him live...rip Mr Allman

I absolutely loved Gregg Allman ‼️ no one like him, and never Will be again❣️

As soulful as music gets. Anthems of my youth. Where does the time go?

God Bless The Allman Brothers...

Greg Allman.... I appreciate you brother... Rest in peace you'll be back soon. AL-LEL-U-IA Amen.

Aww Gregg, Any age, Any stage, anywhere, anytime, you will always be beautiful to me. You and your Brothers caught my heart in the early 70’s, and still have it. Peace be with you!

I first saw the Allman Brothers in 1972, just a few months after Duane died. I would see them 7 more times...Gregg's voice was the best blues voice anywhere. It had some rough times, but when he got off the drugs and alcohol, it came back and he was singing like a young man again...what a great musician, good soul. ABB had a huge influence on me musically. I'm 63 and I still listent to their music and marvel at what a great collection of musicians they were.

I truly miss The Allman Brothers Band. I love Gov't Mule and The Tedeshi (sp?)Trucks Band but man, how I miss hearing Gregg's voice. Forever a fan.

Greatest band ever!

Have loved the Allmans since I first heard them on the radio when I was like 14 or 15. I'm a late millennial, but I quickly got obsessed with their music and held Fillmore East up as a holy relic in high school. It was just different, they let the music stretch out and speak for itself, and what dynamics! Quiet as a whisper or louder and fastrr than a freight train. And just the quality of songwriting Gregg put out, and the seriousness with which they pursued their sound. Duane was part of the holy trinity of guitar players to me as a teen. What a trip to later learn they recorded most of their stuff just an hour's drive away from my homwtown, hell, Dickey was born and grew up literally a couple blocks from me as I write this! That made them even more special. Beyond the music and the abject tragedy of their losses, I'll always have a very special place in my heart for the Allman Brothers, moreso than lot of other bands I listen to probably more often. I still can't believe Gregg is gone, and so long ago now. I can't imagine what it must have been like back in the day, hearing about first Duane and then Berry. At their peak. Unreal. Allmans for all time, man.

I still and will always hear the wonderful music of The ABB in my mind.

Pure soul - RIP Gregg

My wife died last year. Gregg was her favorite. God I miss them both.

I still listen to their music. Love love love them

Just read his book, highly recommended!!! Awesome Read👍

I listened to a million rock songs on the radio in 1972,but when I heard BLACK HEARTED WOMAN one night, that was it for me. As this wasnt in the USA, it took me YEARS to finally detect WHO the artists were. And that was me buying all of their records immediately.

When I moved to Florida in 2004 from RI…the first concert I went to Allman Brothers/Lynyrd Skynyrd in Tampa..great show…

I saw The Allman Brothers 4 times between 1979-1981 during my high school years. The Dickie Betts years. Only regret?? Never saw them again. I can hear the Gospel Blues coming down from Heaven with Gregg & Duane. Jesus has front row seats for every show.

Great tunes that will outstand the sands of time.rip Greg

Loved Gregg,since 1975,was able to see him 13 times,in all different venues....he will live on in our hearts,and his music.❤😇🎶🎸🥁🎺

I’m so Grateful to be a child of the ‘60’s and raised on this Music. Thank You Gregory for sharing your Life & Music with us, you changed the World and Music forever. Oh, just for The Record, Rock & Roll was Born in the South so there’s No Such Thing as “Southern Rock”, there’s only Rock & Roll and I guess Yankee Rock.

My older brother had their albums. I would look at the album jackets and we would talk as the music played. I was 11 my brother 16. My brother died unexpectedly two years ago. Hearing the soulful sound of Gregg’s voice now is gut wrenching and also bittersweet. It takes me back to happy times. When you lose a sibling the pain is always there. When Gregg said they took him into the chapel….I felt that because I also experienced that.

I saw so many concerts in the ‘70s, but I never got to see him, sadly. Great singer/songwriter, and I still listen to his “Laidback” album all the time. Miss you. RIP ☮️✌️💕

Gregg is the legendary voice and keyboard behind the legendary band.

I was so jealous of my brother who worked security for the Allman brothers band. I was only 14 at the time...but of all the bands he did security for, it was The Allman brothers band I wanted to see the most. 😊 He said Greg was a nice down to earth guy. I still have a couple of their albums. R.I.P. Greg ! 😊

Honestly, Gregg Allman is severely, hell I would go as far as saying criminally, under rated as a lyricist, a vocalist and a musician. Amazing blues voice

Soul shine is the best song I've ever heard. True greatness lives for ever. R.I.P my Georgia Brothers.

Gregg Allman will always be missed. He will always live on in his music and hopefully future generations will know what a great tribute this band was to music ever. ✌❤🌻

He seemed like such a beautiful gentle soul ❤️

Legend RIP ❤️. Soul Brother

I sure miss him.

Born and raised in the south so you know the rest, loved the man.

Spent a night partying with Gregg in Tucson in avout 1986-7. A long story...

Great Band! I was fortunate enough to win front row seats off the best radio station in St. Louis Missouri K-SHE 95 ,,, At the River Port Amphitheater . It was epic and one of the top 5 concert's i ever seen, A young Lad of 16 years of age played Slide Guitar like 2nd to none. I believe it was Dicky's nephew maybe,,, Not sure on that anymore, but he was a wicked guitar picker for sure! Greg did a awesome job,, never missed a lick. I very much appreciate seeing them up close and personal,,,

I've been a big fan of the Allman Brothers even before Duane Allman played on the Layla love songs album and I become a huge fan of Gregg Allman he writes this beautiful songs please the guitar is so great and sings with that wonderful voice of his may Gregg Allman and Duane and your entire band be remembered always in his songs play on forever

man, gregg allman was the best.

Amazing interview God rest his soul love 😍 never dies amen 😇✌️🕊🤟🙏😇

My favorite! God Bless all the Allmans members ! Such a loss

Bill Graham is the force behind the scenes in understanding the magic of The Allman Brothers Band.

Dang! Always loved Sweet Melissa. Now I know why. Might even cry

First time I heard “One Way Out” as a teen, I thought “Wow, a black lead singer in a southern boys rock band”.

Rest In Peace, you were a great one.

Man, I don't believe in heaven or hell, but for this dude, I do wish there were heaven so that he could join his big brother after so many years. I believe he missed Duane so much, so long.

Melissa..... in a grocery store...that story almost made me cry.

What a fine voice and a great musician. R.I.P GREG. You are truly missed.......

So glad I got to see them many times

that shot of Gregg standing right next to what would be his own grave got to me.

Greg was simply one of the greatest musical artists I've ever encountered. He was pure oneness with music and his creations. Grateful to you

When music was music👍👍👍

the best there will ever be

He is so missed! There will never be another. 🤍

Got a chance to see The Allman Brothers Band, with the Blues Travelers opening act, Great show my only con was that The Allman Brothers Band played a mash up of all their hits coming back to the one the started with Sweet Mallissa , and I know the time of one Allman Brothers Band song can take 20 minutes or more so show time is limited, but we still enjoyed

😮i loved this man for all my life i would have done anything to touch his heart and look into those beautiful eyes every morning

His voice still shines on everyone's soul Gregg Allman was one of two rock stars the other one is Levon Helm that I always wanted to meet in person

I had the good fortune to see him in concert twice. The first time in NM in the late 80’s the last time in NJ about a year before he passed. What a wonderful singer and song writer. We will miss him forever God Bless

Best concert I’ve ever been to. Seriously thanks 🙏 for them. I first got drunk with my folks. I first got high with my mom. I used to fall to sleep playing guitar along. My first concert and favorite music still at 43. Awesome and thanks for all that music

Like Char said, "And he was beautiful".

I didn't know he was cross dominant -- left handed for writing, right handed for playing guitar.

Last piece of new vinyl I ever bought was I’m no angel then they quit making albums I think a few new bands found the love of vinyl and put out albums and that’s great vinyl should never die just like Greg Allman should have never died none of the really great ones should

I've got one more silver dollar...always keep one with me.

Wow, thanks for this! This is precious stuff!

End of the line, live , best song ever.

"Laid Back" is a must for any Gregg Allman fans. Absolutely the best of Greg. "Live at Filmore East" is a must for the band fans.

Gregg, Yes amazingly Perfect..!!!

I saw them about 1976 in mid Missouri. Outdoor concert.

I met him in Daytona beach at the Wreck bar. I was 14 they were playing there. Then I saw him yrs. Later at the bar in Richmond at theHyatt House ❤

My absolute favorite song by one fine lookin and actin and singing man!

I have enjoyed watching and listening to this in depth and insightful video so very, very much. A splendid job of capturing the essence of some of the greatest rocking blues artists of all time. I woke up one morning, out of the blue with the song I'm No Angel running clear through my mind to start the day. I don't know why, but caused me to look back and really, really appreciate what fine artist all of them were. Thank you for creating this great video!

Dayuuum... Wish i was at that show !!!

Will always love the Allmans. RIP

Hearing how Greg found the title to his song, Melissa, reminds me a lot of how Carol Connors found a line to a different song, that was also terribly in need of finishing. And, that had her pouring over it, until she did. At least, that's what it said in an article I read somewhere, several decades ago. What she had so far was, "Come show me your kindness, "In your arms I know..." Somewhere in there is where it ended. Although she wanted to use the first part, it just wasn't working. I want to say that what happened was in a diner, a gas station, or a grocery store. It was a long time ago. Anyway, someone came up to the counter, maybe even pointed at some directions or a map, and said, "I need to find this. Find THIS". When her brain latched onto it, there it was. The rest of the line: "Come show me your kindness In your arms I know I'll find this". I don't know about anyone else, but, I consider it one of the most stirring and romantic stanzas of lyrics I've ever heard. When you hear the music and lyrics together, I think it sets a mood that's very clear. BTW, this comes from a frustrated song writer, who will never hear a piece of my music outside a few garage bands.

I’ve rode down Hillcrest Avenue so many times to this day. We walked thur Rosehill Cemetery back in October, when we were teens in the 70’s we’d sit on Elizabeth Reeds grave and smoke a dobbie but my best memory is meeting Gregg at a jam session at a home on Rocky Creek Road in Macon!!

Great musician all around. His book tells the long story of him trying to get sober which he finally did. His songwriting and singing are just superb! And no slouch on organ or guitar! RIP Greg.

Cool dude. Gifted.

Love Gregg Allman. So sweet and kind. Rip

Also Greg besides being a fantastic man and artist, he certainly aged well❤

The first concert I went to was the first concert After Deane died. I was twelve years old and we'd just moved to Macon Georgia. It was before Barry died. I won't ever forget it. Berry's son was so short, small, and young that he couldn't be seen. That was The Best Solo drummer I've EVER heard. That little boy was Amazing and grew up to be a great musician in his own right but I'll never forget the little boy drummer!😪

You can't name a better American blues band than the ABB. Phenomenal.

We all have prejudices, and my opininion of Gregg Alman changed when I was able to see his interviews and learn what he was like. Nothing like I had assumed...seems like he was a good guy.

Laid Back...best solo album.

Gorgeous, wild Gregg rests in peace 🥰

I miss him

Gregg was, is and will FOREVER BE my first hero, giant and ROCK & BLUES GOD. Play me out, Bigboy. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

May the Allman Brothers continue to rest in peace 🙏

My all time favorite band! Seen them well over 50 times!

If it wasn't for Duane, Gregg would've been a dental surgeon. Thank you Duane, smart man !

What a life. What a legend!

ABB...Best Damn Band In The Land🎸☮️😎

HES THE ULTIMATE HIPPIE MAN

Did anyone notice that Greg was signing a autograph with his left hand but plays the guitar right handed
