The Allman Brothers Band performs "Whipping Post" on December 3, 2011 at the Orpheum Theater in Boston, Massachusetts. Brought to you by Less Than Face Productions.
This solo blowed me up at 17.04 june the 12. 2024. Sooooo super, the best solo i ever heard in nearly 63 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That song still rips my heart out! Greg sang it like it was the first time he ever sang it...with all the heart and soul that goes with it. Damn! I miss him!
Also, Warren, WRECKED it. Arg, such a good band. It makes me feel happy to see these musicians living up to what was the original amazing chemistry that was the Allmn Bros
They try to make the song distinguishable and undeniably what it is but absolutely different every time. And with the number of time they play this song live that becomes almost impossible. I still think they did a great job with it. Two incredible guitarists!!!
You can imagine playing this song must be like singing Happy Birthday too them...Not terribly thrilling I would imagine. Yet, they still seem to get up for it after all these years. My hats off to them for playing this as well as they do.
I personally appreciate that they took out Duane's first solo. No one could play it like him, instead here they cut it to the 6 min mark on the 71 recording.
I cant wait to see them when they come to L.A.!! The Last time I saw them was when they had the Wall Of Sound at the Honolulu Convention Center H.I.C. and they blew the Roof of the top of the H.I.C.
To me Warren and Derek really saved this band from being a shell of itself and playing county fairs. Not to disrespect the other members of the band but Warren and Derek reinvigorated the sound and spirit of the band adding a renewed passion, energy and class to the band.
whiskey in hand,vodka as a side, good lord I feel like I'm dying..pretty sure the whipping post is a reality to some of us travellers...we can be thankful the words express as they do..perfect alignment to the masters on the tools of their trade...misery vocalize, beauty. rip to Greg & Duane...a head of your time, just like the rest of us.
I saw them a few years earlier than this, in 2007, and they didn’t playing Whipping Post!!! It absolutely broke my heart, but I was still incredibly blessed to get to see them. They still kicked ass, and I even found some really good acid there. 😂
I have heard so many covers of this where singers have all the right technical ability and put real emotion into it. Simple fact is that I do not want to hear anyone sing this song other than Greg. RIP.
I guess they're are some people that just go on here to unlike songs, cause there is noway 32 people hate this!! anyway some of the best musical talent in the world. RIP Gregg
2011 this band was cooking Wait they were cooking nearly all the time You really needed to feel this, the sound is incredible but to feel it live was priceless
Nice to see this SPECTACULAR show....that's one of the best guitar work..throughout the whole show..Derek and Warren...show their real talent, as jammin' with the famous Greg Allman, and the percussionists, let the youngster's take the show..most excellent, indeed....
No, incorrect. Derek Trucks is the nephew of one of the Allman Bros drummers, Butch Trucks. Derek Trucks’ father was not in the original band. However, Dickey Betts was an original band member, and his son Duane (a great musician in his own right) was named after the late, Duane Allman - Greg’s brother and founding member.
*************** 4:46 The vocal here by Gregg is so different from the way I have always heard him sing it. It is like he doesn't have the strength to even make much noise about what he is upset about. I am talking about the song lyrics and how he feels like expressing how he feels about it is basically pointless. I really like how he didn't keep the cadence of spitting out words at exact times like he has for most of his career. This was a "living and singing" in the moment. This is improvisation and you just don't hear it from Gregg so much but the guitar solos are completely unlike what Gregg heard for years and years. He is older and he is playing with guitarists who don't push the song ahead as furiously. It's different and interesting. It's just the case of another lineup doing something a bit different and making it WORK.
First time I saw Derek, with Eric, I thought he must have been an Allman - I guess that in many ways he was. I suspect that he felt he had to at least live up to Duane - and then take it somewhere to show he was *not* Duane, he was Derek. Wish I'd been there.
Whoa, Derek got ABSTRACT that night, no? It was awesome to experience, but he definitely stepped outside of the lyrical magic that he usually concocts. AMAZING, nonetheless. Just noting that.
I loved it .three drummers 1 holy shitzu. Harmony,knowledge ,is not gonna happen with three drummers ! It's coagulation - brothers of de drums ,-and greg allman ,of course.
This sounds mean, but I' would really like to hear what Derek & Warren would sound like playing with people their own age. They'll build a solo to a peak - and be alone out there. Allman sings this one like he'd rather be elsewhere.
