I’ll tell a great story. This was about 25 years ago maybe 30 . The band had changed a lot Greg was surly there and I think Dicky Bets . You know that ABB brings in a lot of bikers and there a group there. One girl was dancing 💃 jumping and singing during the warm up, and the exact minutes the band started she passed out missed the whole performance 🎭

Duane Allman was without a doubt the best slide guitarist to ever play and you cannot beat Gregg Allman's voice. The Allman Brothers never disappoint.

This is widely considered to be the best live album ever!!! Always a great band to see, especially while Duane Allman was still alive -- best guitar player ever!!!

One of the best slide guitar players ever.

Great musicians, all, great band. So tight. Two great guitarists, great voice at the Hammond, and a killer rhythm section . . . base and two drummers. Have never tired of this album over all the years. Enjoy

You Don’t Love Me : it goes here , it goes there , it goes everywhere. As good a blues jam as there is ever going to be. And the epic finale driven by Greg , that is southern music right there! Bravo !

Girlie just became a fan a “The Allman Brothers Band” Hells to the yes!!!!🍄

THE greatest live recording from THE greatest American band. Formed in 1968, finished their run in 2014. There's none better. Gregg Allman on keyboard, Duane Allman & Dicky Betts on guitars, Berry Oakley on electric bass, Jaimoe & Butch Trucks both on drums.

Thank you. It's an honor to be able to witness the birth of a new Allman Brothers Band fan.

If you listen closely at the end of “You Don’t Love Me”, you hear them immediately go into “ Whipping Post” for another 20 plus minute joy ride. What a concert! Two virtuoso lead guitarists in Dickey & Duane, with Barry Oakley on base, Greg on keys & Butch & Jai Johnny on drums, the could play the blues or flat out jam with anybody. It was a tragedy to lose Duane & then Barry a year later, but this music will be heard forever.✌️❤️🎶

Duane was once asked why two drums? He said, "if James Brown can have two drummers, I figure so can I".

Hello from Macon Georgia the adopted home of the Allman Brothers and one of the birthplaces of southern rock in the early 70s. I was lucky enough to see them live many times. They're a jam band at heart and could turn a 5 minute song on an album into a 25 minute live masterpiece. Duane Allman ( guitar prodigy, they called him Skydog ) got killed not long after this was recorded in a motorcycle wreck. Gregg ( singer, piano ) just died a few years ago.

Fillmore East is by far the best live album ever. Two drummers, two great guitarists, and a love of the blues is tough to beat. "You don't love me", the perfect song that drives you into the oblivion that happens between men and women. The duel between Duane and Dickie Betts is classic electric blues with Gregg's organ driving the rhythm. I heard this album in a dorm room back in 71 for the first time. It never gets old.

2 of the greatest rock guitarists of all time, together in one band. How much better can it possibly get? My very first "favorite" band.

What you're hearing as a cello or viola was likely lead vocalist Gregg Allman's Hammond B3 organ, a harmonica player who sat in on a few songs, or one of two guitarists. Gregg also played a piano during these concert sessions. I think he's got the best blues voice ever. ABB also had a bass and two drummers. I'm so glad you're doing ABB music -

Great pick for a reaction so nice to see younger people still getting to discover thus beautiful music just discover all there is to offer and your life will be enriched for it. Cheers

This is, in my opinion of course, one of if not the best live albums ever produced. Duane Allman, on slide guitar, died in a motorcycle accident shortly after the release of this double album. I bought this recording on vinyl and I literally wore out the grooves and had to buy a second set. This album is over FIFTY YEARS OLD..... and still sounds fantastic. The mixing and production of this recording is stellar especially given the technology at the time. Great reaction..... take care.

What makes this album even more epic is knowing just how completely freakin' blown away this NYC audience was hearing these southern boys lay down the jam like they've never heard before for two solid hours...Big fun!

So great that you enjoy this music that some of us have been digging for over 50 years. It doesn't get any better.

From memory (and forgive me, I'm getting' old) it was "You Don't Love Me" for about 19 minutes directly into "Whipping Post" for about 22 minutes AND directly into "Mountain Jam" for 33 minutes...wow!!! What a band. I miss those days.

You should really give their debut album a listen. On of the best debut albums ever. 1969 was a watershed year for rock debut albums. Just a partial list is Led Zeppelin, Allman Brothers, Chicago Transit Authority, Crosby, Stills and Nash, King Crimson, Yes, Santana, the list goes on and on and on. EVERY song on the Allman Brothers debut was a keeper.

I never realized until reading "ONe Way Out", Alan Paul's book re ABB that Statesboro Blues was actually written in 1926 by Blind Willie McTell. Quite the adaptation by the Brothers.

I saw them in 71 at the EastTown Theater in Detroit…I was absolutely blown away at the pure musicianship…perfect…I’m so glad that you are listening to this great American band!!!

These were 19-20 year old guys that played together…all of them were great musicians, all not professional, but cogs in the best blue eyed rock blues band that was the beginning of southern rock. RIP all you bros.

Watching you enjoy this great band is almost like hearing it again for the first time. Thank you. Nice pick off - two drummers. Keyboard is a Hammond B3 organ. Two lead guitarists too!

One of my favs. In memory of Elisabeth Reed! Some of the tunes ya listening to played great at live concerts, jamming and putting on a show.

This is one of my favorite live albums, containing some of the best jams & blues out there. Enjoy!✌️❤️🎶

The keyboards are played by Greg Allman who is also the singer and is mostly a Hammond B 3 organ. The guitar solos are usually Duane Allman, one of the best guitar players EVER, taking the first crack, often on slide guitar, and then Dicky Betts, another great guitarist rounding out the song. And yes, Berry Oakley on bass is the secret sauce that brings it all together and drives it relentlessly forward. Not to fail to mention the damn near impossible to understand subtle interplay of not one, but TWO drummers who not only don't get in each other's way but actually COMPLIMENT what the other is playing.

Their version of Stormy Monday will be great for another hundred years. No, forEVER. But the entire album is at a very high level.

Two drummers (Jaimo and Butch) , Berry on elect bass, Duane & Dickie on lead guitars, Gregg on B3 Hammond organ and vocals, all masters of their instruments. Known for how "tight" they played, and inventing Southern Rock, a blend of rock, blues, country, jazz genre's. All were in early twenties when Fillmore Album came. Gregg wrote Whipping Post at 20!. ➡➡VERDY " hope you can see them, it helps the performance. The Fillmore definitely has a video and it's cool to see them in their element. Berry on bass and drums are the backbone of a band and you picked up on how good right away. TY for reacting. I go WAY back to the ABB and my cousin was their main Roadie, Red Dog. He got me into some insane concerts. lol. I did subscribe. I

According to Rolling Stone Mag. Whipping post listed at number 5 in the best all time cuts from a band and a major motivation of blues. 2 drummers, Duane,slide Guitar was on many other artist records. He worked at several recording studios in the South.. died young from a motorcycle wreck when he ran into the back of a peach truck. I was privileged to see them perform at the Fox Theater in Atlanta and at the Macon Municiple theater. Watch the "Live at Filmore East" just be amazed at the Drummers

Yes, two drummers. Must see live!

Greetings from Sarasota I first saw the Allman Brothers in 1969 in Sarasota Florida. I was 14. After they led off with "Don't want you no more", and "it's not my cross to bear" I knew this would be the best damn band I would ever see. I've seen Zeppelin Bowie Elvis Fleetwood G and R Aerosmith Steely Dan Traffic. Clapton. No body was even close to the Allman Brothers except Steely Dan.

‘One Way Out’ .. from this concert in their album titled ‘Eat A Peach’. Best Song!

Hi Verdy, Im John and I came across your channel. loved the Allman Brother you played. It is indeed the best rock album ever recorded, Sadly Duane Allman was killed in a Moter cycle accident, and a year later Barry Oakly the bass played was killed in a similar accident not far from where Duane was killed. they were both only 25 years old. I miss them so much, I listen to their music so much. Try listening to Mountain Jam off the Eat a Peach album/cd you will love it. Thank you! John

Great album. I'm loving watching you discover this. 40 years from now you can do the same. This NEVER gets old. As good as all the players are you eventually realize it's the drums and Greg's vocals that is soothing your soul.

This was/is REAL music.... Allman Joys first time I heard them...

I had the pleasure of seeing these guys a couple times and what an amazing experience. Duane allman and dicky betts guitar playing is impecable

Two guitars, two drums, bass, keyboard/singer. Stand back!

Bright Angel - Thank you for bringing so much joy to fans of great old music. I'm an Old Man in my 70s and have seen the Allman Brothers several times back in the day (when I was you like you). So great live! Your hard work is greatly appreciated by your fans. You would have loved seing the music of the late 60s and 70s live in concert.

I totally agree with you and it's what made me subscribe!

Tha Allman Brothers were like a musical freight train and a religious experience at the same time.

This is one of those albums you listen to over and over just to follow the individual instruments. Or better yet just get up and dance to. The Fillmore East was in NYC, and the Fillmore West was in SF. The bands that played at both venues are quite diverse and (most times) very famous.

Doesn't get any better than this.

This is one of the best live albums ever recorded and it has the classic original band members, prior to the start of the deaths and infighting. The first guitarist you heard doing the short slide guitar solo at the beginning of Statesboro Blues was Duane Allman, who was very innovative and probably the best slide guitarist in the world. He unfortunately died in a motorcycle accident at only 24 y/o and then the bassist, Berry Oakley, also died in a motorcycle accident almost exactly one year after Duane and about 1000 feet from the site of Duane's accident on a parallel street (he was also 24 y/o). I can't imagine how much better both of them would have become as musicians if they hadn't died at such a young age. They had several different line-ups of the band members over the years, some much better than others, but I think the last line-up of the band (prior to breaking up due to Gregg Allman's death in 2017) was as great as these original members and it featured the great guitar duo of Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes (Derek Trucks essentially taking the role of Duane Allman and Warren Haynes taking the place of original member Dickey Betts, who was kicked out of the band many years ago mainly due to drinking, but there was also allegations of domestic violence). Derek Trucks was a child prodigy on guitar and he's probably the greatest living slide guitarist. He currently plays in the Tedeschi-Trucks Band, which he started with his wife, Susan Tedeschi, who is a phenomenal blues/soul singer. If you have never heard them, I would definitely recommend checking out a couple of their videos.

Oh, they also had a double lead guitar attack with Duane and Dickie Betts. These cats could play.

Another old guy checking in here. It really warms my heart to see such appreciation from the younger generations. Verdy, you really get it. Blues is where it started, and blues will be where it ends. Maybe it's me, but why is the sound quality of this album, recorded live over 50 years ago, better than the sound of today?
