Gregg Allman Reminisces On His Allman Brothers Days | CONAN on TBS 

I met Greg in Reno at the Peppermill. He was at the bar before the show. He signed my original Rolling Stone magazine introducing the Bros Band. Greg talked for nearly an hour about the band and music. He made me feel like I had known him for years. That night could only have been better if his brother was there. I got to talk to my idol and he turned out to be cool!

Greg Allman was one of the best southern rock musicians of all time. I used to listen to him and the band as a child in the 1970's. Rest in peace with Duane.

Gregg's laugh was priceless

Took me less than 24 hours to read Gregg's book ..it was fantastic ..such a gentle soul , honorable and I learned so much from his words especially the last chapter ..love you forever Gregg , thank you

First time seeing Gregg laugh so hard. Bless him..

RIP Gregg, The KING of Southern Rock.

RIP Duane Allman (November 20, 1946 - October 29, 1971), aged 24 And RIP Gregg Allman (December 8, 1947 - May 27, 2017), aged 69 You both will be remembered as legends

I have no problem saying that Gregg Allman is a treasure and a musical genius. None whatsoever.

A polite southern gentleman who doesn't care for bawdy talk.

RIP Gregg Allman. One of the best voices in all of music. It's sad to see all the greats going. Props to Conan for having rock legends on his show. I don't see that with other late night hosts.

I Love Gregg Allman, Such a Laid Back, Cool Guy..Rest His Soul...

Loved seeing Gregg laugh with Conan kidding around. Conan is the best talk show host

Saw his band twice. Marvelous voice and musician.

I saw Gregg live in 1978 at a summer fair near Vancouver WA. It was incredible to be that close to him while he jammed out. 'Live at Fillmore East' is a Classic.

RIP Gregg Allman.....we will always treasure your music. Glad the Allman Brothers are reunited in Heaven again.

Man Gregg was so so humble. It's the truth. Best live album EVER produced. Bar none. Nothing comes close. They were really hitting on all cylinders for those shows that make up that, album. Whipping Post proves that without a doubt.

Although he is a man of few words. He makes those words count. Big respect

Damm l love this dude,what a real Man,lm so sad that we lost Gregg,it seems so sad and such a loss.RIP Gregg

Good night, Gregg. Thanks for everything.

my lord.... i just cannot watch more than a few seconds of anything gregg allman anymore without tearing up.... my heart aches for their music.

Such a humble man, I wish you nothing but total admiration and respect, now you and your brother are jamming some sweet music, rest easy my friend.

I lost my brother only 12 years ago, but now... there are only good memories. I see that in Gregg's eyes when he thinks of his brother.

Sad that another legend is gone. Gregg Allman will live forever in the music that was left behind. RIP

I have an anecdote to go along with this video and this is a for real, down to earth truth. In the late 60s before Greg and Duane really made ti "big time" they were on the road one evening and traveling US 43 through a small town, Jackson, Alabama. We only had 3 patrolmen at the time, not counting the chief. At any rate, as it would happen, their vehicle was not what you would call "keeping it straight". One of my friends, who was a cop and working that night, spied the vehicle, pulled it over, ran a few checks and decided that these guys should not be driving. They were arrested, all of em, and taken to our little jail, where they spent the night. During the night one of the band members carved "Allman Brothers Band" with the date into one of the concrete blocks in their cell. Through the years that concrete block is still right where it was over 40 years ago. The patrolman later became Chief of Police, but not because of this arrest. lol Many people have visited Jackson just to see this concrete block. To my knowledge, the building is still there eventhough the police station has moved to a more modern building. Many people have offered to come down, remove the block, put in a new block and paint the cell. All have been turned down. I am telling yall this because of the recent passing of GA. May he rest in peace. You had a good ride. Now, you and Duane have a lot of catching up to do.

Rest easy Gregg. Beautiful soul x

Love Greg Allman (And The Allman Brothers). "I'm No Angel" is pure rock classic. Love it!

plus easy on the eyes! And the best voice ever! I love him!

rest in peace ,thanks for giving us the gift of your wonderful music

R.I.P. Gregg Allman. Thanks for all the great music!

Love that guy, wish greg was still here. RIP greg.

That's cool as Hell> the way Conan has got Gregg laughing his ass off!! That's so cool

nice to see Greg laugh

I'm a longtime Gregg/ABB fan. I got a chance to meet him in '82. I told him I was a huge fan and how much his music has meant to me over the years. He was super nice. We talked briefly about his solo album, "Laid Back," that I mentioned to him as I handed him a pen & card for him to sign for me. Gregg wrote, 'To Jim, Don't forget to boogie'.....Gregg Allman

PS...the "head phones" thing.....absolutely right! It goes right into your head and it is more personal that way.

I love Gregg, damn, I feel so old. Where has the time and beautiful music gone? Damn.

Gregg Allman's voice is one of the best voices we will every hear...."please call home if you change your mind".....so wistful.

I was born in 73. Tragic we never got to see Duane grow old. Anytime I hear a slide I think of the greatest.

God Bless you Gregg Allman....the Allman Brothers...my very first concert.....thank you....for your musical gifts.

There's something about being a southerner that can't be hidden, and that is genuine humility, and Gregg had it in spades! God bless you Gregg, you represented us well, rest in peace.

Makes a huge difference when the host is a fan! Piers Morgan made everyone uncomfortable with his stupid and repetitive questions. It's great to see Gregg relaxed, among friends, and laughing. Two of my favorite people, Gregg Allman and Conan O'Brien.

If you were just met Greg at say a restaurant or bar he would look like just anybody. Who would guess how incredibly talented he is and truly special. I grew up on his music and played it endlessly. FE is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. RIP

I really enjoyed hearing Greg's thoughts and reactions to Conan's questions that provoked some good humor. Greg and Duane, and any and all the others including Barry Oakley, excellent bassist, and Trucks now departed, as we will depart, from this world, hope you have the awareness from the other side how you were admired and appreciated...You made your mark in the world with your music and thank God we have still have it to enjoy...RIP

My father Jim was his tour manager and good friends for years.

i refreshed thru the ads like 4 times before i got the straight video with no ads. This does not always work but you can try it . I still remember when the Bris were on the show in 95. This is gold thank you and my granny loves Conan so much - as we all do! LOVE and blessings - ":Jen"

Me to saw them the first time in Piedmont Park Atlanta Ga. in 1970 . He has been in my life ever since i went in to a 2 day seclusion when i heard he died. He has a record that will be released sometime this year. But i know the Heavens ate Rockin with Gregg and Duane back together. Your Music lives Forever.

The fact that he had a legend like Greg Allman just shows how awesome Conan is

If you ever get the chance, spend a day in Macon. The Big House museum, Capricorn Studios, Rose Hill cemetery, album cover sites, the H&H restaurant where Mama Louise fed them the best soul food, maybecatch a southern rock or blues concert, and much more. Give a wave to the North where Otis Redding is buried on the family farm. Macon was a big music town in the 70s. The cemetery is beautiful. Its the only band that I know of that will all be buried together in the same plot. Macon is a great day trip if you're ever in the area.

Love Gregg Allman and Bros Band!! Great southern rock band and the music will live on for the rest of time!! GOD Speed Gregg and Duane and all the other band members that have passed away!! 🙏🕊️💙🙏

GOD BLESS GREGG ALLMAN

"The only way to listen to music is with headphones.." He's right, anyone who truly appreciates music will put on headphones every time.

Love that story...who the hell would trash the Allman Brothers!!! I will never stop missing Greg, RIP😢💞

That was funny when Conan said the house the big house had to be steam cleaned.. Greg was laughing like crazy I wish this was a longer interview..

what a powerful presence. you can feel the state of awe, conan, maher and andy are in. what a legend. rip

Gregg kept the dream alive for a long time. I really miss him and his vision.

Gregg amigo personal de mi adolescencia estás tocando mi corazón todos los días descansa en paz nos vemos pronto

Saw them in the early 70s in Charlotte. I stood right up at the stage under Greg's keyboard. Seeing him in person was fantastic. OMG.

Saw the Allman Brothers, Dwayne was thriving, during six Fillmore Shows. Always went to the 11:30 pm slip, three best buds, 18 years old, truly the most talented of any of the 100 plus shows I saw at Bill Graham's altar. Acid had just been made illegal but thrived still during this time, that experience with Allman Brothers peaking was magical. Great interview with Conan.

Love Gregg Allman, Best of the best!! RIP Gregg, you are missed and never forgotten!! Blessings

What a gentle soul he was. Rip Greg Allman

Conan is hysterical, I love hearing Gregg laugh!

🎶♥️🎶 Loved seeing him laughing!!

Graduated HS in ‘76 and we hand best choices of musical talent in a Century ... Gregg, Dickey Betts and crew, once in a life time talent. 🤟

Words of wisdom " Only way is headphones".. Truth.

Dear Conan: Kudos to your great interview and FINALLY respect to a great musician ... and you let him answer the questions. Good job.

RIP Gregg :-(

The Filmore album still sounds as great as ever.

Greg Allman is the greatest white blues singer that ever lived.

When Gregg talked about Bill Graham's introduction for the ABB he confused the Fillmore album recording in March of '71 with the last public show at the Fillmore in June of the same year when Bill made that intro. I was at the March 12, 1971 date (early show) and they were INFRIGGIN'CREDIBLE!!! And the best part was they weren't even the headliners that weekend. They were the middle act and Johnny Winter who headlined blew what was left of the roof off the joint! What a night!

back in the very early 70's ..dropped a hit put a stack of albums on and the headphones and next thing i knew it was the next day

What a incredible human being ! So much tallent and Class !

If there's a Top 10 list of the coolest guys on the planet, Gregg Allman is on it - twice.

the book is great. brings back memories of the way things were back then.

conan is a dork genius, my FAVE

He had so much talent !!

This is great, I'm commenting again ,Conan, has Greg in stitches...so cool to see him cracking up like that

Simply the best. The Allman Brothers Band

RIP Gregg Allman.

God Bless His Soul.... Gregg is an American ICON - the music lives on FOREVER

It's definitely worthwhile also checking out his solo stuff from the 80s. He was certainly one talented songwriter & musician.

God I love this man.

A very precious man, rest in peace Gregg....

Gregg has a great, genuine laugh.

Gregg's on his way out of this world. Great musician

Those songs can yank me out of my chair and drop me into a bean bag with headphones and the rest with candles and incense from long ago, also in a run-down old house in Kansas, circa 1972.

...chahwming as allll hayallll, humble, mellifluous, untouchable....;)!

RIP Gregg, you will be missed.

Thank you for posting this!!!!!

I was driving from Florida to our property in Georgia and made a detour to visit his grave. I sat there for a while. The train tracks are right next to the grave site. I couldn’t help but think of the line from Melissa. Freight train each car looks the same...The ABB spent so much time in the cemetery. I found it very peaceful.

Headphones,,,ear buds,,,whatever,,,YES,,my (late) brother and I believed that this is the most personal way to take in a song,,,or an album. Its just you and the music and no one else . It feels stronger and better just to YOU,. Headphones. Yes. He is the man xx ♥ "jen"

when "Eat a Peach" came out it was like a new type of music began, I am a Beatles guy, but every Southern rock band owes their genesis to these guys, Midnight Rider, Sweet Melissa, Whipping Post, etc etc...the instrumentals and the words had never been done before, the arrangements were NOT country NOR PoP nor Rock, got it. Every party we had back then had Led Z, James Taylor, Deep Purple, Grand Funk RR, and Allamn Brothers on the STEEREO..lol, thats what it was. comments from young people ignored....

Didn't know there was a book ! Didn't know there was a museum! Definately Need 2 get the book & go 2 Macon, Georgia. Can't wait.

went to a Allman's brothers concert, was phenomenal, stormy Monday , fantastic!!!

Miss you Gregg.

Living in Macon, I've been to the ABB house a couple of times. But I don't go very often, too many memories of those times and the seeing the band back then. Afterwards I have to sit on the porch for a while.

Shows how Conan is the best interviewer on late night shows and that Gregg has a great sense of humor. Another great clip on RU-vid ith Allman, Redd Foxx on Letterman.

Lindoooo, que humilde y gran músico!

This is one of the nicer interviews with Gregg Allman. Conan did a good job!

Great interview!

"Stormy Monday is the song I used to get the ladies." "I'll have to send you a bill on that one."

You got it Gregg. I just got a new pair of headphones to practice guitar with but I'll be sure to use them for music, also. I just laid back and listened to Whipping Post @Fillmore East with em. Priceless. Thank you for that advice, Gregg. I put on my headphones, lit my joint, and let the music take control. By the end, I was bawling my eyes out. Happens every time I listen to that song. Dickeyz haunting solo that starts around 13:26 is so heavy on the heart. Maybe because I know this is the song that'll be played at my daddy's funeral. My daddy, the same man who gave me Howard Duane Allman's middle name, Duane. I couldn't be prouder of the fact that I'm named after the greatest guitarist that ever lived. Your legacy will live on FOREVER, SKYDOG!
