The Allman Brothers Band - Statesboro Blues Reaction | Asia and BJ 

more than any other band this one deserves to be heard by all especially your younger generation. these guys were almost magical to my ears. how many bands can say they started the Genre that has rocked the world for over 50yrs! southern Rocks Finest!!!!! RIP Duane, Barry, Butch and Gregg! thanks for the lifelong soundtrack.

If you want to really hear a blues song, check them out doing “One Way Out” live at the Fillmore East. One of the best live performances ever.

I don't have many bragging rights when it comes to music, but I saw these guys two nights in a row one year before this was recorded. I was 16, and at a three day rock festival.

Asia & BJ, their "Melissa" and "Jessica" are next for you!! This is my favorite by them!

Live at the Fillmore East by the Allman Brothers is one of the greatest live albums ever.

I grew up with Southern Rock. I love Blues. When "I woke up this morning" I was 30 minutes from Statesboro, Ga cause I live in Southeast Georgia. See! Everyone has something to be grateful for!

Greatest live album by the greatest band ever in my humble opinion.timeless.

Allman Brothers Soulshine One Way Out

I cannot express how cool it is did I get to see young people really appreciate what we all got back in our day. Keep doing what you're doing we appreciate you

Never a bad time for the Allman Brothers. Together or solo. Sweet MELISSA is definitely one of the next ones on the list for y'all

Stormy Monday is a must listen. Great reaction guys 🔥❤️

2 lead guitarists and 2 drummers - they knew how to put on a show.

This band is in a category all by itself. I mean, come on. It doesn’t get any better than this. Blues, Country, Rock, Jazz..it’s all there. Arguably the best live band ever.

"Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low". Tell us all about it Gregg. Duane on the guitar. And the rest of the boys keeping up, The Allman Brothers Band, one of the finest in the land.

4:35 While the photo shows Duane lying on the floor with his Les Paul Goldtop, the solo in the song is being played by Dickey Betts.

If you haven't heard them do "Blue Sky" you're missing one of the smoothest slide guitar solos ever!

Greg and Duane Allman are both dead now. Duane died in a motorcycle wreck way back in the early 70s. Greg died a year or so ago. This Band was simply the Best Blues Band ever. Greg had such a soulful voice.

You can't know how it makes me feel seeing you young people love this music. At 75, it still touches me the same way. These guys were from Macon Georgia, and they sure were good.

One of the Great Bands over the last 55 years. Take a listen to Jessica, it has an unforgettable piano and guitar solos.

You can’t go wrong with Allman Brothers, and this is one of their best. Straight fire 🔥

Any song off the Fillmore East album will blow your minds. This song Duane is playing slide guitar. After the second verse Dickey takes the solo. Duane does all the fills with slide. Gregg and Duane Allman were born in Nashville and grew up around Miami. The group played out of Macon Georgia.

One of my all time favorite ABB songs is Blue Sky. You can’t help but feel good after listening to this song. This is the perfect sunny day driving song! I promise you’ll absolutely love it!!

As stated many times here, Duane Allman is the best ever slide guitarist. But Gregg is possibly the best white blues singer ever, as well. Not a bad combination.

Statesboro blues was their opening number most sets. From the first note, ecstasy came out of their instruments. Often Dwayne had this enormous grin and was on his tippy toes.

This jam is about Statesboro Georgia which is an hour north of Savannah! I live 15 miles from the birthplace of southern rock & home to the Allman Brothers {the Big House museum} in Macon Georgia {2021 World Series Champs Atlanta Braves 2021 National Champs Georgia Dawgs}, they are definitely a band you should do more of! Macon is also the home of one of the godfathers of rock n roll Lil Richard & the soulman Otis Redding - PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS ✌☮

Man you two are on a roll tonight. This is one of my top 10 songs. Nice you see both of you appreciating all of the talent in this band.

Grew up with Allman Bros!! Thank you big sistas!!! How can you sit still listening to them, when we went to their concerts, we never needed seats cause we danced for three hours!! They are from Florida and later Georgia, God they touch your soul!!

The Brothers were born in Nashville and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. My favorite American Band for over 50 years. Duane was the master of the Slide Guitar and his younger brother, Gregg was the greatest White Blues Singer of all time. Shout out must go to their other guitarist, Dicky Betts, a legend in his own right! They virtually invented Southern Blues Rock. I have been fronting 8 Bands in the last 20 years and we always have done Statesboro Blues, One Way Out and Stormy Monday. Whipping Post is a must listen as well.

"Live at the Fillmore East" That whole album is gooooood

Great rock band from the 70's that mixed blues, jazz & country music in their sound. They had lots of great songs such as "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed", "Whipping Post", "Melissa", "Blue Sky", "Ramblin' Man" etc. One of my favorites is their instrumental "Jessica" which was written by guitarist Dickey Betts & named after his daughter.

Duane Allman tried to get his brother to come back and sing for "this band" he had put together for some time. He told him they were really good. In Gregg's autobiography he said when he walked into the room and heard them playing for the first time, he literally fell back against the wall in shock at what he was hearing. Incredibly talented band and you guys are spot on with your analysis.

The Brothers were so good; they could take a classic and make it their own by the time they were done with it. Stormy Monday, Trouble No More, Statesboro Blues are just a few examples. Tightest band I've heard in my 70+ years.

Gregg Allman was around 21 when he sang this RIP Greg Allman

I worked with Allman Brothers many times in the 70s and 80s as production staff... My all time favorite from the first time I heard them play in 1968... Every tune will reach your heart and soul... Try a fun tune... Revival

Only lets me hit the 'Like' button once. In concerts, this was the opening song, Duane thought of it as a warm-up/ get it on tune. They were both ( Duane and Gregg) born in Nashville, moved to the tidewater area of Virginia (Norfolk-Virginia Beach) then back to Nashville, then to Daytona Beach FL. Had a band called The Hourglass and went to Los Angeles in the attempt to make a go of it but the record company tried to control their music to make them more commercial. Bad move resulting in failure and band breakup. All but Gregg Allman went back east, with Duane stopping off in the Muscle Shoals area, working as a studio player at Fame Recording studio. He then went to Jacksonville FL, met up with others for a little jam session. The others (mostly) turned out to become the new band. Needing a singer, Duane called for his brother to come back. They were taken under contract by Atlantic Records then given to Capricorn, out of Macon GA, where they moved to so they'd be close to the studio. Southern? Yeah, I think so. Gregg Allman didn't like the title 'Southern rock'. To his mind, ALL rock music was Southern in origin. Southerners were all over rock music. Chuck Berry - St Louis, Elvis - Memphis, Little Richard - Macon. He said you might as well call it 'rock rock'. The so-called experts call the ABB the Kings of Southern Rock. This song was recorded at the Fillmore East Theater in NYC, and recorded for the album 'Live at the Fillmore East' in 1971. 7 months later Duane would die tragically in a motorcycle accident. This album has been called the greatest live music recording of all time. I agree. Look at the song listing, and just play it out. It's amazing.

Great Blind Willie McTell song! Allman Bros from Macon, GA. Statesboro, GA in the song.

ABB is one of the most important and influential bands of all time. I'm too young to have seen the original lineup, but I saw them twice in the early 90's and they are hands down the best live band I've ever seen. 3.5 hours each show! **Now you gotta listen to Taj Mahal's version...the inspiration for the Brothers to add it to their playbook**

yes sir ladies and gentleman you will NEVER hear anything remotely close to this AGAIN !!!!!

This is some of the most inventive slide guitar work you will ever hear.

Its great to see you guys enjoying the blues. Some of the greatest guitarist come from that genre.

Can't go wrong with ABB. A couple of their other jams you haven't checked out yet are *Melissa* (1972) and *No One To Run With* (1994). Agree with you both; ABB is sit back, toe-tappin', timeless music.

My #1 of the three best Southern Rock Bands of all time!!!

Southern 70's soul, blues and rock.

some of Dickie Betts' best playing. Rest in peace Dickie Betts.

Excellent! My all-time favorite blues song. God, that band was great live. Thank you, thank you for this one. Y'all good. Hope all is well.

They were so good ushering Southern Blues Rock. I framed and gifted their albums to my adult kids, who love their music.

Yeah! Early Allman Brothers is awesome! Try Ain't My Cross to Bear, Dreams and when time permits, the epic, live from the Fillmore East, Whipping Post, those tunes are amongst the best you will ever here. Southern Rock's best. Enjoy! 🎵

Great musicians playing great music never gets old.

So glad that you have such a great appreciation of their sound, soul and blues. Duane and Greg Allman were from Tennessee but later moved to Jacksonville, Florida where the band was from.

Great reactions. That is great southern rock we used to listen to and I’m from the northeast. Music was great in the 70s. 😀

Duane Allman on slide guitar, brother Gregg on vocals

My fav band for over 40 years, feel blessed to have seen them over 30 times over those years.

They were hitting the note

Loving watching you 2...loving this Band🔥🔥🔥

Gregg Allman's vocal skills. Sheer perfection.

Saw them live many time they came close to home. From the 70’s and through the years and you could see them in the early days for $25. 00. Now a days you need a second mortgage to get concert tickets. Although I got a guy for that. 😂 Seriously, was never disappointed and check out Stormy Monday live if you get a chance. Love your reactions to music I grew up with. Love you and God Bless. Keep, keeping’ on.

I saw them at the Fillmore auditorium in San Francisco. They had amateur night on Wednesdays for $1.00. We saw the Allman Bros there for one dollar! Never heard of them before then. My buddies and I said, "hey, they're pretty good". Ah, the good ol' 60s. Ya had ta be there. 😏✌💛

These boys transcended the "southern rock" genre even before this FE performance. Music genius...from the south USA

Greatest American band of all time

There’s a great story about the photo shoot of the album cover at 1:20. Gregg Allman’s memoir “My Cross To Bear” tells the story and is a great read.

One of their best performances!!

One of my favorite groups for along, long time!!

"Greg Allman - Come and Go Blues 12/11/1981 (Unknown)" this is a rare gem with only Gregg Allman singing. I know Duane was a G.O.A.T guitarist but it has to also be clear that without Gregg's haunting soulful voice there would not have been an "Allman Brothers Band" RIP: Duane U R Missed 💔🔥🤘🏼🎸🎶

One of the best blues songs ever written.

First guitar solo--slide guitar--was Duane Allman, the second solo was Dickie Betts. Best guitar duo in rock

5.10.22. Next up….. In memory of Elizabeth Reed©️

"Soulshine" is another Allman Brothers must listen to blues gem!

The ultimate live band, no doubt!!!

Blue sky, rambling man, Jessica..all must listens...the allman brothers are one of the three GREATEST southern rock bands ever

This is where country, rock and blues all come together!

It's so great to see people still discovering great classic music from the past and keeping it alive for the next generations. So grateful for these recordings and the musicians themselves too.

Duane Allman the slide player and leader of the Allman Brothers died at 24 in a tragic motorcycle accident. RIP Duane Allman.

One of my favorite bands from that time. Reminds me of being at the river with friends smokin a fatty

They created Southern Rock. Played a concert with them in 1971...saw them a dozen times in 1970 and 1971...Best band ever....authentic true Blues music played from the heart and soul of everyone in the band.

Hard to beat the ALLMAN BROTHERS !!!!

Best Damn Band In The Land..Then And Still ....From Macon Georgia ✌️💙

The Allman Brothers were from South Carolina. The two brothers Duane & Greg played in several bands together and moved around to different cities. At one time they lived in Jacksonville, Fla. home to many great southern rock bands. The band was formed in Macon, Ga and had their greatest success living and recording there. Macon & Jacksonville claim them as their own. Bassist Barry Oakley & guitarist Duane Allman died in motorcycle accidents on the same highway in Macon 1 year apart. Other members were Jaimo & Butch Trucks on drums and Dickey Betts on lead guitar & vocals. Jaimo had primarily been a jazz artist. You can hear Rock, Blues, Soul, and Country in their music.

One of my favourite bands of all times. I was 13 when this live album came out. Had to save up to buy it because it was a double album. Never got to see the original lineup live but saw different versions over the years. The original one-two punch of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts on guitars with Berry Oakley on bass....man!! I saw their farewell tour at the Beacon in NY a few years ago. Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks provided that same punch as the original duo and Oteil Burbridge was right in there on bass. Gregg, Jamoe and Butcb were always there for us. RIP Duane, Berry, Gregg and Butch.

Duane and Dickey on guitars...Gregg on those amazing bluesy vocals. One of the best rock-blues bands ever and a huge influence on so many. Gregg and Duane Allman grew up in Daytona Beach but after forming the band they all landed in Macon, GA.

One of the best bands ever!

As Muddy Waters said, the blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll.

Another kick-ass Southern Rock band from Jacksonville, Florida. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot and .38 Special being the others.

What makes the Allman Brothers banb so amazing is the fact that they were only in their 20s when this was recorded!!!

Every morning I wake up, I got the Statesboro Blues

Old school at it's best😮❤

Soul, Jazz, Blues, Rock played with skill, passion and creativity....ABB.....Keep in mind, there are two players,. The second solo was Dickie Betts, one of the greatest ever....

The live version of this song is completely amazing. Also consider the fact that the Allman Brothers Band had two drummers who played totally in sync with each other. There was not a single mistake by either drummer - Butch Trucks and Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson. I saw this band at a venue in St. Louis, MO back in 1973 on a Sunday night. The concert started at 8pm and was supposed to be over at 11pm when the venue was supposed to close up for the night. We were still there at midnight that night! Southern rock at it's best.

Back in the early 2000's I had the chance to see the Allman brothers in concert, it was over 3 hours long but in all honesty it felt like it lasted maybe a hour it was that good, out of all the concerts I've been to over the course of my life it ranks #1 on my list, and yes they are from the south, Gregg and Duane Allman were born in Nashville Tn and called Georgia home.

Just heard it on Sirius Bluesville today. It was a great song way back when and still is. A song that never ages.

I love this band definitely top 3 for me ....happy you guys have finally listened to this song. You guys should try "ain't wasting time no more" they are from FLA

One of your greatest reaction videos guys. And I’m a fan, to see the two of you enjoying their music. Makes me smile, and the kicker with them is. Most of their greatest performances are all live. Not studio. Great Job and I thank you both 😎

I enjoyed watchin y'all enjoy this old classic! Feels good seeing some younger folks appreciate stuff I come up listening an playin!

They were from the south, I love your reacts, I am truly sorry yall didn't grow up with this music but you have no idea how much joy it brings me, and I am sure others, to watch younger folks discover this music. Keep on keepin on!

Their "Wasted Words" has one of the best lines of advice going: "Well, ain't no saint,, sure as hell ain't no savior, Ever other Christmas, I would practice good behavior, That was then, this is now; don't ask me to be Mister Clean, Baby, I don't know how"

Thanks for understanding the connection between Duane and his guitar.

I'm a musician, and come from a long line of musicians. This is the best live blues-rock album ever recorded. Whew!

It's amazing how young these guys were when they recorded this! Vocalist Greg Allman was probably 22 yrs old when they recorded this!!

The Allman Brothers Band (ABB) was formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1969 by Duane Allman (slide & lead guitar), Gregg Allman (vocals, organ, songwriting), Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass guitar), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jaimoe (drums)

These were good times, this old man here spent many a night partying to this album back 50+ years ago.

This song was originally recorded by Georgia blues singer/guitarist Blind Willie McTell w who was active from the 20’s - 50’s. Statesboro is a small town between Macon & Savannah, Ga known mainly as the home of Georgia Southern University. The Allman Brothers were based in Macon, Ga. & recorded for Capricorn records. They all lived together in an old mansion called “the big house”. That squealing guitar you hear is the late great Duane Allman on slide guitar. He also played on tracks by Aretha Franklin & Wilson Pickett when he worked with “The Swampers” in Muscle Shoals, Ala.
