"Whipping Post" by The Allman Brothers Band 

I have a favorite t-shirt that says "I may be old, but I got to see all the good groups"! Say Amen! 🤣🤣

Damn straight we did.

​@@TheShornakagreed from a young Boomer....the latter end that is! Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High school California

Yes, to tears…

🙏

Probably at some point this one can do that. It’s the blues but it’s also just a bad MF…the music, the vocals. Wow

Oh yeah. In 85 I sit on the opposite side of Greg's keyboard and we sit drinks up for each other all night. What a night!

Only YES!!!! And nobody does music right anymore! Sucks being old and Jimmy Buffet was right.

I still watch Derick Trucks when he was 14 doing Clapton

Christ get over it Jesus is your mentor

Oh ya

And now, Dicky Betts!

@@philhanlon4339 I can’t believe I made that comment just a few days before he passed. Rest in Peace, Dickey. ❤️

Goosebumps every time I listen and watch this.

for sure man, he killed it. Skydog 2.0!

The most over rated player in the band class

He started playing really young the Greg and the rest of the ALMAN brothers new he was going to be the master ..then he married Susan tedeshi great song midnight in Harlem cheers brother 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸⚔️⚔️🇺🇸🇺🇸⚔️

@@Jonesy1978 Are you high or stupid.

@@Jonesy1978 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

Absolutely agree with both of your statements Pete!! I was introduced to Allman Brothers as a 10 year old in 1973 by my older brother in Durban, South Africa - who was 10 years older than me . Certainly Marshall Tucker Band and The Blues Project are also great bands but if I was stuck on a desert island with one record/tape/cd, etc., it would have to be Allman Brothers!!

Especially "Melissa" which I literally wore out that track on the record.

Yes, but there was Grateful Dead.. not too shabby either. Had guy named Jerry playing guitar 😊

listen to more Frank Zappa son......

Yeah they were awesome! But for some reason I reckon Frank Zappa and his band did this song better live if you haven't seen it yet 👍

Amen to that A LEGACY larger than even the members themselves

Dalton, there has never been a band that literally taught this as The Allman Brothers have, and until VERY recently have continued to, and as u wrote , the guitar players, wow, that's all that can be said, nobody can ever criticize the quality of the artists who have played for the band, every one of them have shown their extreme talent both with the band and on their own with industry leading, public adoring bands many of which are today leaders of the genre, always and forever- A.B.B. !

Well said Dalton. Totally agree. Warren is my favorite but all are legends.

In my personal opinion, Haynes and Trucks was the best lineup since the original Dickey and Duane. Without those two at the forefront of this band, I don't believe they would have seen the continued success and popularity that they did in the modern era. Not trying to knock the other various lineups featuring Dickey and other guys, but I don't personally see them being as successful all the way into 2014 as they were with Haynes and the absolute mastery of Trucks. Just my two cents.

Dont forget to include Jack Pearson and Dan Toler and Jimmy Herring for a few shows !!!

🙏

Do you know where and when this was recorded? It is SO FINE!!!

Maybe the Beacon Theatre in New York? I don't honestly know.@@dabrack9350

The Fox Theater in Atlanta. @@dabrack9350

My favorite is seeing bands smile while playing, like they want to be there playing. Greg was able to go sober to his resting place.

Best of Best

I was thinking the exact same thing!! :)

I could get by with this no problem 😁✌️

This Is It! 🧡

I've never seen him smile

He a great bass player and whether he smiles or not, we didn't go see them live for their smiles!

Philly G - I would give a 11/10. Just saying.

I had the privilege of seeing these guy's in concert live twice. They were phenomenal!

I went to like 10 Beacon Theatre shows over the years. Oteil just absolutely crushes it every note of every song. A fucking master.

Been listening since I was 8 and I had to play this video over and over last night and today! Happy New Year!

And Barry

And Berry!!!🍄😊

Yes, my big bad, and Berry.

And now Dickey

Me too from Sptbg. My 1st was Charlotte NC 1970 or 71 at a ball park downtown. Yall remember that one ? Dwayne Allman was there and he stumbled a few times over cords on the stage . Or he was as high as I was. . . .THE VERY BEST BAND from start to finish , PERIOD!!!

I was blessed to see the original lineup my first semester at college…..New Mexico State University! October 6, 1971. Some buddies and I were picked out by our RA to unload the trucks and hump their gear to the stage for the roadies to set up. We got to hang around for the sound check, got into the concert for free and watch from stage left. They played the next night in San Diego, then went back to Macon, where Duane lost his life 13 days later. So I was also blessed to see his next to last performance before we lost him.

Absolutely agree 💯%

💯

Mike Flavin Amen brother. I got tears in my eyes at the end when Butch cracks that smile after punctuating the ending on the tympani. Now he's gone from our midst but never from our minds. RIP Butch. Thanks for the memories!

Mike Flavin Damn I didn't know Butch is dead. Man that's awful, another book closed.

Yup.. very sad :(

Mike Flavin backing tapes are a crime against artistic humanity

Butch Trucks didn't earn the nickname "Freight Train" without a reason. We all just saw and heard why.

😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

How much I loved them. I am proud to have known them

Blood sweat and tears the flood Yep Chicago I’m a man 25 minutes food ha ha ha haBlood sweat and tears the flood

Such a soulful voice. 'Just 'Ain't my cross to bear' did it for me 1st time I heard it!

And the audience was great too- (they adored them).

agree 1000% incredible, all locked in tight, talk about building a solo, warrens started with a whimper, they all rose to a fuckin freight train, drummers and bass answering warren, plus what a daunting organ the whole way, and the vocal, the best ever, bass, wow, drummers wow

Whipping Post @Fillmore East is the standard by which all others are judged, IMO. There is no better version. That night, they were ON FIRE!

Definitely so !!!!

I got a chance to see them at the legendary Red Rocks Ampitheater....epic show back in 78 -79

Agreed

the way he builds up a solo is so incredible too

@@EC_IS_Here Give Warren his dues for the fabulous solo he did too.

@@janflewelling6277 Warren Haynes is one of my fav musicians and even more one of my fav Axe men, he always kils it of course! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MdrXsKDu73A.html oh man, i got goodbumps just copying and pasting bc listening was next.Cheers and blessings!!!!

All slide players play with their fingers. Derek is extremely good but in no way unique or special.

Ok boomer. Check out polyphia or archspire. They’re doing shit you wouldn’t believe was possible. And I like the Allman Brothers dammit. But I cannot stand boomers self-fellating.

FUCK FAKE GOD

@@GPaulTheThrashKing "Ok boomer"? How creative. Bet you've had that in the chamber for a while. Why are young folks so defensive about our appreciation for our music? BTW, I did check out your suggestions. Polphya: not bad, but the video was boring in and of itself. And the head-banging guy? 1980 called and they want him back. And Arschpire: gawd, what drivel that was. To each his own, but that was awful on many levels.

@@dalezjc >What happened to real music? >Thank God I grew up in the 60s and heard all this great music the first time around. The problem is not that we're defensive; It's that you're demeaning. Profoundly, ridiculously demeaning. Rock in particular has this problem, where old bands, instead of stepping out of the limelight, or maybe playing a few gigs here and there, clog up the festival main stages for DECADES after their prime. You old farts are killing the music you claim to love. Why should any young person get into rock music when it's "What happened to real music? When I was your age we had Foghat (or whoever)?" Why should any young person even bother to pick up a guitar when stupid old people will just keep bitching about how "You're not as good as the bands in the 70's." Even when bands are inspired by old bands, they're just revanchists, never as good as the original. The only reason the music of your youth exists is because the previous generation of old guys in suits went "I don't know what this is but the kids seem to dig it, " so why doesn't your generation do the same? Nah man. The Allman Brothers is great. ZZ Top is great. Zeppelin is great. But people like you who are stuck in the past and shit on the present suck.

@@GPaulTheThrashKing Thanks for your response. You're still being defensive, but that's okay. My father was an amateur jazz musician, and I grew up hearing tons of jazz. I hated it at the time, but little did I know that it was affecting me in a very positive way. But I never ragged on my Dad (or people his age) for loving music from their generation. I just didn't seek it out, so there was never any animosity against it. Why does it bother you so much that bands from the 60s/70s are still touring? To be frank, most of these bands have lost their mojo, and the majority of the lead singers can't sing any longer (compared to their earlier days). But boomers love them, so why not tour? Note that music subjective for sure. Whether I think I grew up in the greatest generation for music, is irrelevant for younger people. And I don't care. I heard Buddy Holly, Elvis, and The Beatles as a first-generation fan, and that music was brand new at the time. Nothing like it had ever been heard. Everything since then has been derivative of that music. And factor in blues greats like Albert King, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Freddie King, and BB King, and you have another genre that influenced tons of rock artists. That's important to the history of rock. You don't have to like it, but it is what it is. And doo-wop music is just as important. I don't care for most of it, but it's important. Sorry for rambling.

i got lucky allman brothers played at a local bar

Murfin Barnett I believe that you are referring to the Dead (of which I happen to cherish and agree with you) however ABB Is the greatest Rock/ Blues jam band ever,Followed by the Mule,given the different years and times.Love them both equally. Peace ( Eat A Peach )

That reminds me of what Ginger Baker said in a 2005 interview about Cream: "We never did onstage all that leaping-about crap . . . . . Cream sold itself on its music; not on anybody gyrating onstage."

Boom

@@lisica8458 Yeah but it was pretty great back in the day seeing Pete Townsend doing windmills. He did a fair bit of "gyrating onstage".

You mean like Mick Jagger..

Right. !!!!!!!!!!!!

The Allman Brothers band a great classic rock band I would say that I'm a Brothers band is I would say their bluesy as well as classic rock I think they're originally from the state of Georgia South Georgia it said to Greg passed away here a few years ago it was on my GMA one morning maybe shooting the breeze with him and the News one morning drinking coffee with him and then another year later great passed away it was hepatitis the same thing with your friend of mine passed away with last year that's what weezy passed away of a friend of mine and hepatitis does a great great rhythm unbelievable in honor the Allman Brothers band in honor of Gregg Allman The Allman Brothers band rock on forever love ✌️✌️♥️♥️♥️♥️🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵

Duane played the famous guitar licks on the studio recording of "Layla" NOT Eric Clapton.

Oteil is still alive and playing, his brother Kofi died a few years ago though.

@@robertsuitsjr6117 thank you. I definitely had the two brothers confused.

And now Dickey

+Frank Burns Oteil always keeps it real!

10.54 Oteil knows they KILLED IT !!!!!!!

Frank Burns in my head I'm like "Jesus man....". Is there anyone better at his job? No

PPPBlood sweat and tears the flood

'Sticks'..lol

Even for us Nawthenahs....We packed The Beacon Theater in New York City year after year after year night after night. And the Best live album of all time called At Filmore East was packed with us too in New York City. God Bless the Allman Brothers, Georgia and everyone who has ever played in their band...Thank you.

😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎✌✌✌✌✌✌✌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌✌✌✌

I've watched several bands in my life but none gives the live experience that the ABB did (oddly, the only other band I can relate it to is Tool. Completely on another level). Radio doesn't do them justice. Watching all that come together is complete magic. It's been 23 years since I seen them in that very place, The Fox, and it will never be forgotten.

NYC/LA,CAL But you don't love anymore than I have for all these years!

@@robjontay5052 Right on. It's coz we dig great music! No matter it's origin. And The Allman Bros, were a smokin band!

He is a humble badass.

Badass!

😂😂😂

No it s a tie

is it possible to pick just one?

Incredible at like 5 minutes when they just EXPLODE.

Holy cow! LL, I've got to agree. Been living with this LIVE since hearing it age 12 YO on the radio out of WWVA from Wheeling, WV back in the '70's.

I agree totally

Agree

Me too, Robert. Five decades worth of "best damn band in the land."

First heard them in 69 when I came home from Vietnam been a fan ever since, still not anyone better

same here, just can't beat them

What they ^ said !

That's the true sign of bands that got it right from the start!

If there is a God-they are probably keeping all Heaven smiling!!

You should be triple figures before commenting.....

Same here. This version is just filthy.

I get the same feelings, I'm very fortunate to have seen ABB few dozen times all over country , I jam these videos like I'm there again.. This road goes on forever..

Yes. You’re not the only one who knows his name. 😏

Amen to that I miss those days

63 too

1957 was a great year! Gregg is the reason I started playing the Hammond in73’! Still do. RIP brother Gregg...

Yes sir !!

And don't forget Butch! When he steps away to the tympani ...
