Slide guitar player Duane Allman 23 years old at this time. Brother Greg on vocals. 22 years old. Mind blowing talent

First saw the Allman Brothers in the spring of '74. I was 15 years old. I went with my friend and his big brother, drove from Queens, NY to Jersey to see them in an outdoor day concert. People were hanging out on the grass, playing frisbee, having fun before the concert started. Allman Brothers came out and blew everyone away, as usual. I've been a fan ever since.

Gregg Allman was only 23 years old when they recorded this concert. His brother Duane was 24. What phenomenal talent at such a young age!

I started listening to the Allman Brothers in 1971.

The greatest blues/rock band of all time.

Listen to “Sweet Melissa” by the Allman Brothers Band. Happy 2022, Van! I have listened to the Allman Brothers Band since the early 1970’s. I’m old, little brother. 😊

Best live southern rock band ever. Probably the greatest live band ever…

I am 68 years old from Greece and Allman brothers band is my favorite group.

This song, and their "Statesboro Blues" we're two of my favorite songs in early 70s as a college student. I became a blues convert b/c of them and Johnny Winters.

First heard The Allman Bros. in 1971 while in Vietnam at age 18 just out of Highschool. Brother Duane Allman died a couple of years later in a motorcycle accident in Georgia. Brother Greg continued on with some of the most soulful singing and organ playing in the music world. I believe they are the greatest Blues Band ever. Both Greg and Duane are dead, but the Band continues with Dickey Betts and some other excellent musicians. It will never be the same without Greg and Duane Allman in the Band.

They have an absolutely endless catalog. You could cover them for months

The Allman Bros. album "Eat A Peach" One of the standards, one of the benchmarks of rock and roll.

You might want to check out "Midnight Rider" (probably their most famous song) & "It's Not My Cross To Bear" (low down dirty blues). That's Gregg Allman singing. That raw, bluesy soul in his voice has made him one of my favorite singers of all time. Saw them in concert & they sounded great. Gregg's long blonde hair under the lights made a striking visual too (you know us young girls back in the day loved guys with long hair!). Bit of trivia..he & Cher were married for a while, had a son together.💙☮💙

My favorite band of all time, especially with the original members.

back in 1971, no one else ended a song this way.........the Allman Brothers set the standard!!!!!

I was 17 and driving an 8 cylinder 1962 Dodge Coronet that got like 11 miles a gallon, but the Allman Brothers on the radio used up all the gas going 80 on the highway late at night, that's how I experienced them

IMO one of the single greatest pieces of music on record and thank the lord for that! Timeless

I was 18 when I first heard this. I'm 71 now.

I turned 12 in the fall of 1971... Best time in music to grow-up E V E R!🙏💯💓 Greg was indeed so cool... Make a Ice Cube Shiver! 😉

My parents were dirty south hippies. In the early 70’s. So I heard all this stuff growing up. Then I went back in time when I was 15-16 and started listening to all the black blues artists that these guys were inspired by. It’s ALL good music. Thanks for your reviews Van!!! - ELMORE JAMES IS THE MAN!!!!

First time I saw them was live in Atlanta 1971. Got tickets on the street just before the concert. Seats were second row, center aisle, seats 1 and 2. My life changed that night.

I always love it the first time someone realizes they have two drummers!

Nothing like two drummers playing in synchronisation!

I saw the Allman brothers in 1971 in Springfield Mass. A few months before Duane Allman died. This was the tour they recorded "Live at the Filmore" album. They jammed for 3 hours. One of year greatest concerts I ever saw.

Greg Allman is the best white soul singer of all time, his brother Duane is considered one of the best slide guitarists in rock history. Duane was a sought after session guitarist playing with many great artists of the time notably Eric Clapton’s classic Layla , the slide guitar work on that song is epic

The first time I heard this It was 1973 and I was 4 years old. The first time I saw them play this live was 1991, Since then I saw them play it 47 more times! Van, my brother I can’t put into words what you’ve missed by not being able to see them live. Just a spiritual experience! The road goes on forever now that you are a Brother!

In 1971 I came home to the Boston area after a 2 year tour of duty with the Navy in Iceland. I visited 2 sisters who were my cousins and they rolled up a few joints and said wait until you hear this band, and played the Fillmore East album for me. I was blown away. That was my introduction to the Allman Brothers. I first heard this song when we saw them play live late that summer on the Boston Commons. One of the best concerts of my life. The Band was incredibly tight and simply awesome. This was only months before Duane's tragic death.

Allman Brothers and Barry are buried in Macon, GA. I took my wife and we paid our respects. They were some of the best ever.

First time I heard this I was 20 years old and in college. It was part of the soundtrack of my college days.

I can’t remember a point in my life without the Allman Brothers. Soulshine from the Where it all Begins album will take you to church.

"He's cooler than the other side of the pillow." ☺♥

Growing up in Georgia, I heard the Allman Bros at an early age. Best live music ever!

Georgia gal here born in 56. We loved our Allman Brothers!!!!

My brother had their albums, so I used to hear them being played after school. He would play them and fall asleep on his bed and the records would just keep playing over and over.😊

I saw them live in Springfield MA in 1971. "ONE WAY OUT" is an old Sonny Boy Williamson song. You can Google the Set List for this concert. The songs on the Filmore East album were recorded during the 1971 tour. One of the greatest shows I've ever seen.

I loved their radio stuff as a kid and went to see them in the late seventies and was absolutely blown away by how great they were. They are in there own class with southern blues and I am a lifelong fan.

I must have been in junior high school or first year high school. I was visiting my cousin and we were talking about music. I said I liked Grand Funk Railroad or some shit and she said, "You have to listen to the Allman Brothers Band." It was probably this song. Blew my mind. Two drummers, two lead guitarists, and Greg Allman on the Hammond B3 and that voice. It just grabs your soul and won't let go. My favorite American band.

Can't go wrong with two guitarists (Duane Allman and Dickey Betts) and two drummers (Jaimoe Johanson and Butch Trucks). Gregg Allman on vocals and organ.

So glad you appreciate this band. I was a my cousins house in the Bronx he went to that concert we were 14 years old. He played ain’t wastin time no more off the Eat a peach album and my life changed forever. Blessings to all

I first heard this song on the record ('Fillmore East') in 1978 and first saw them play live in 1979 (Lakeland Civic Center, Lakeland, Florida.) I saw them in concert 36 times. They brought the thunder each and every time. For me, they were America's greatest band and Gregg Allman the best blues singer period.

First time hearing Allman Bros? Since birth, my family had good taste in music, still listening 52 yrs later.

October 17th 2000, my birthday. Brother I came out the womb listening to this. Greatest song and band of all time!

I saw the allman brothers on steel pier in Atlantic City I was 15. Not a lot of people new them there was about 50 people sitting on the floor watching and loving them. The next concert you couldn’t get tickets to see them. I’m 66 now so it was early 70s. I was young never heard a band like them.

I am 63 years old I first saw the Allman Brothers when I was 12 years old. My top 5 band for sure to me Gregg Allman was the best rock singer/Blues since they started recording music. I'm very fortunate that I grew up in the era I did rock music was born in 1968 and blossomed in 1980 I'm so fortunate I grew up in that time wouldn't trade it for anything

I have heard it in the 70's but my most fondest memory of this song was when I had the greatest hits on and dancing to it with my youngest son (he was 2) in 1995, we danced all around the living room,, because you just have to move to this groove

One of my top ten albums! They Jam!!!! that's why their playing is even sicker. They puffed. He said Lawd ,not Lord.

I was a teenager in the 70's when they came out and I was a fan right away! The only way to see them at that time was go to a concert but my funds and ability to drive to a show were limited.I did however get to go see the Allman Brothers in Jax Fla. while in the Navy and after I got out I got to see a Greg Allman solo show at a club in Jacksonville which was great.Got a quick handshake during the show

Yeah, for sure!! These guys are amazing! Midnight Rider and Melissa, Revival, I see you checked out Whipping Post. Gregg Allman also has some interesting solo tracks, including "End of the Line", and "I'm no Angel". If you get the chance, check out the horrifying story of how Duane and Gregg witnessed their father being murdered when they were children. Thank you

"Soulshine" is one of their best songs. Warren does the vocals on it. Everybody always argues that Greg is the one singing, but it's Warren.

I was in college 30 or so miles away from their headquarters in Macon, Ga. We thought of them as 'our' band. One of the greatest band EVER!

1974 Roosevelt Stadium New Jersey. Drove there from NY in an old telephone company hippie van with my older brother his girlfriend Kathy and his friends. He came by to pick me up at my moms house and my mom was yelling as I got in the van I know what your gonna do there and he’s too young I was about 16 years old. Great show first of many Allman brothers concerts! Never forget that night!

I LOVE the Allmand Brothers!!!! Their music never gets old. Timeless. Great song!!!

Lead singer Greg Allman was once married to Cher. RIP to him and his Brother Guitarist Duane Allman.

There is a great Allman Bros tune that no one ever reacts to, it’s an absolute banger..it’s called Nobody Left To Run With. It grooves like a MOFO. Be the trend setter and all the other reactors will be on your coat tail’s

I'm 73 years young and the first time the Allman Bro's was in 1969. That recording was one of the pieces of music that changed my life.

Born in Nashville, Tn. Home of the Allman family. Saw them 1st in 71 at 15 y/o.

The first time I heard this song was on a neighbor's sweet stereo. It was actually on the radio...FM radio. Back in those days FM was new to me and it was where all the cool "album rock" stations were.

I saw Allman Bros att the Beacon Theater in NYC in 2014 and they played this for the encore the last song. It is my favorite and it was awesome!!

I heard Greg Allman for the first time in a friend's attic bedroom in 1974(we were15) singing "Queen Of Hearts" off his first solo album. His brother Duane had died a short time ago suddenly (he was hit by a produce truck carrying peaches) and this album was his first time out w/out Duane. His soul-filled voice was liquid magic to me. I felt so bad about his loss, which just made me like and crave his sound even more. The song I mentioned is a must listen to song--whether you feature it here or not. No Southern Rock band comes close to making me feel the way these boys do, then or now. Tight, gifted, with blues seeping out of their pores. The Allman's did an album after Duane died titled "Eat A Peach" (a direct tribute to Duane) and every--EVERY song is killer. Don't you dare miss that record. Each and every drop of it. And I have to say---I like what you're doing A Lot. Are you seriously as handsome as you seem? I never say shit like that, but honestly, you have the face that launched a 1,000 ships, as the saying goes. I can't get over it---please don't misinterpret me...this is NOT a line. Just super impressed, but you've probably heard that a bunch. Thanks for the content.

I was raised on their much, My dad would listen to them all the time. Love their much ❤

Allman Brothers in Philly, early ‘70s was a must concert to attend. Never missed one. You could smoke your favorite in the Arena and totally enjoy the show. ❤️

Yes they had two phenom lead guitar players and two excellent drummers who complimented each other with different sounds.

I'm 72. I saw the Allman Bros. 10 times. Awesome. They would play from 8:00 until 11:00 with one break.

Great to see someone of your generation enjoying their music like I did.......way back when.

I was lucky enough to start listening to and following them in early 70s. It time i saw them was around 75 in Mobile Alabama. My older brother was Kool enough to take me

I was 13 when I saw the Allman Brothers in concert! I was raised on their music!

I am 60 and live about 70 miles from Macon. I first heard the Allman Brothers brothers Live at the Fillmore East album in 1976 I was 15 in 10th grade . This album unfortunately would be one of their last with this line up. Dwayne the fellow playing slide dies later on in 1971 motorcycle accident. He runs into a tractor trailer carrying peaches 🍑. Hence their next album was called "Eat a Peach" . Have seen them at least half a dozen between now and then unfortunately never was as good. Still a great band

I was living in Atlanta when they hit the scene. "People Can You Hear It?" Was playing everywhere. Atlanta's summer of love; I sold underground newspapers on Peachtree Street, site of the street scene there.

2 drummers from the beginning. One is Butch Trucks. My favorite band. Greg Allman on keyboard and vocals. Dicky Betts on lead guitar. Duane Allman on slide guitar.

My favorite band of all time! If you combined the best sounds of every genre and mixed them together, you'll get The Allman Brothers Band!

I think I've known this song since birth, but "Dreams" is the one that really does it best for me.

I LOVE the Allman Brothers!! As a black woman, I can't get enough of their music!! Gregg's "Multi Colored Lady" is fantastic!!

The Allman Brothers was raised in a little community called Juliette Ga. About 14 miles from where I live in Jackson Ga And yes they was most definitely lit up before this song and every other song they played But they sure do sound dam good LOVE YOUR REACTIONS MAN THANK YOU FOR KEEPING IT REAL

I first heard this song in 1972 when I bought their Eat a Peach album. I was 18 at the time

I believe it was 1972 when I 1st heard them. There was so much great music around then it was hard to get around to listening to everyone. 2 drummers 2 guitar players. You have a good voice and a good ear.

The first time I ever heard of the Allman Bros. I was in Business College. My roommate and some friends turned me on to them. A guy named Rudy was wearing a black arm band. He wore it in memory of Duane who had just past away. Also had a 4 album set of Live at the Filmore East. I grew up in a small town and had never even heard of The Allman Bros, Yes, Boston, or Pearl Jam...So glad my college friends enlightened me to this good music!

Allman Brothers are from my hometown. My dad told me stories of driving by their place and seeing bikini girls mowing their lawn and seeing them play little gigs in town. You should listen to Ramblin' Man, if you haven't yet. I take Hwy 41 everyday, otherwise known as Tamiami Trail. There are a couple different roads around here named Betts Rd for the Betts family. Hearing their music always reminds me of driving around with my parents as a kid in the 80s.

I grew up in the late sixties early seventies when this kind of music was on the radio. I had three older brothers who were very much into the rock music of the day. So this was in my years from the first time it played on the radio probably. But it took me until I was grown to really realize what I was hearing all along. If you look at your video at the very end of the song the smile that is on your face tells me that you also realize what you just heard.

Heard this when it was first released in March 1971! Was in heavy rotation (whole album) at ALL our parties. And too many parties to count...or remember ✌🏻 ya dig. Gregg Allman- the GOAT of singers!

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! Started listening to them in 1972!!

First time I heard this song was in 1973, in St. Louis...on radio station KADI; The rock of St. Louis! I was 14 years old. Been a fan ever since!

I started listening to these guys 30 years ago.....lots of awesome stuff out there

Album released summer after my Sophomore year in high school. Wore the record out playing it so much. One of those life changing albums in the 70's

Been listenin to the Allman Brothers since I was a junior in high school back in 197-72.

Hilarious reaction!! So young folks are learning about the old folks who could put down a groove with the Blues!!! That musician singing and playing keys 🎹 was Mr. Greg Allman!!

i saw them 3 times in concert and the boys could rock.first time was in about 1993.last probably 97 or 98.All 3 in Birmingham Alabama

I sat about 10 feet in front of Greg Allman’s piano in 1986 and yeah, the man could sing.

They were really good. Dwayne set the tone. Melodic road. He was the melody. Probably the best slide guitarist ever.

We used to cover this song in the early 90s. THIS song is the reason I play slide & the first song I learned with slide. I've seen them 56x from 1990 til they retired with Derek and Warren. First got into them from the Seven Turns. album.

Saw the band almost 50 years ago, live. It was an excellent evening!!

I saw the band in late '68 when they were still called Allman Joy. This album, Live at Fillmore East, came out in late '71 or early '72 when I was still in the Navy. When I got out, I got a Les Paul and worked on blues, joined a band. This album is, I think, the best live blue album ever.

Saw them in concert the first time in 1971, a few months before Duane died. Loved them, love them still.

I saw them live a couple of times back in the seventies. There were a force of nature better than on the albums.🎉.

One of my dad's favorite bands, so I can't say how young I was. Remember humming it during church preschool and getting in trouble for singing 'devil music' *eyerolls

DONT GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS BAND WITH LEAD SINGER GREG. Early 70s for me. I was I VN in 70. I'm from Michigan but this is PURE SOUTHERN ROCK. NOT CHEATING JUST GREAT

Saw them at Watkins Glen (me and 600,000 others) with the Grateful Dead and the Band in 1973. They came on last and played and jammed until 2am. It was epic.

My first time hearing (and seeing) this song was on an old television series called 'In Concert', which was simulcast on a new FM radio station from Bradley University. Television was mono at the time. This was before I graduated high school, so it must have been late 1972. We turned on the radio and turned off the TV audio, watched the concert and listened in stereo. We were on top of the tech, daddy-oh.

Two guitarists and two drummers make for a hell of a wall of sound

I live about 30 miles from where the Allman Brothers grew up and I don’t know them personally but I know some people that do Another great southern rock band

Saw them at the Fillmore East in NYC, still a fan for 50 years ...
