    In 1972, Before the Fence was there, I used to go to Rose Hill and visit Duane & Berry's Graves, There used to be a 2 foot high Marble Cup on top of Duane's Headstone, where people would smoke a Joint and put the Roach in it, It was full, Then some asshole stole it, then they put up a fence, I used to sit on the grass hill next to the Graves and Play My Dobro Guitar and ask Duane for Guidance, I did this at least once a Month, He gave me my wish, as i went home , i seemed to play better, I Thank Duane for this, his spirit was there, Cousin Figel

    Unfortunately the fence was erected by the family members because fans were getting to crazy. My first visit there was in 2002 before the fence was put up. So I have some nice photos when it was just Duane and Berry. I returned there on April, 22, 2019 with my family. As we were leaving Chank Middleton drove up in a truck. He was very kind. He opened the gate and allowed my family and myself into the area. And I took some photos including one of Chank and myself and my family as we stood next to Gregg’s gravestone. It was a special moment for me. I’ll never forget his kindness to me and my family.

    Enjoyed your video. Living in Georgia, I get to Rose Hill Cemetery every few years to pay respects. Got pictures in the early '80's when Duane and Berry's graves stood out all by themselves. No fence around them, and have sat on Duane's grave and picked with other guitar buddies. Nothing like it in the world. Incidentally, the words written on the two original grave markers is worth searching on the internet. There's also a mushroom on the side of Duane's head marker that seldom is seen. Was surprised you didn't show the location where they stood in the cemetery on the back cover of their first album. You were close to it but never pointed it out. Also, would've been good to have shown Elizabeth Reed's marker too, which it real close to the 4 Brothers. If you're standing up at the four graves, and have your back to the markers, straight down the hill to the road, the train tracks are parallel to the road and just beyond the train tracks is the Ocmulgee River. Anyhow, once you reach the road, take a left and go less that 50 feet and the first marker on your left is Elizabeth Jones Reed. Nice area to play guitar too. Supposedly Little Martha was born there while hanging out playing guitar. And of course In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. All instrumental, and not knowing what to call the song, they named it after the grave marker where they hung out. Macon is a great place with the Allman Brothers history for anyone wanting to take it in. Don't miss The Big House either, now a museum, which is only a few blocks from Rose Hill. Also, the front of their first album, that shot was taken on College St. not far from the cemetery. And, the location where Duane and Berry lost their lives on motorcycles is not too far away either. Those two locations were real close together, almost a year apart. I haven't made it to Rose Hill since Gregg and Butch have died, and it amazes me how much the area has changed within the cemetery in watching your video. But then, my first visit there was in 1982, 40 years ago. I shot a whole roll of Kodak film in that cemetery my first visit. It's arguably the coolest resting place you'll ever witness. RIP to the greatest band the US has ever produced. IMHO

I saw the Allman Brothers at the Tower Theater(Upper Darby ,Pa.) in 1989 with a blind guitarist in the band Jonny Neel. I love the song "Midnight Rider"(ABB version). I guess Elizabeth Reed is buried in the same cemetery as Gregg, right? They saw her name on the tombstone when they jammed there. Cheers! I thought Gregg's album he did with Cher was titled "A Man and His Woman".?

The group of graves behind you at the beginning of your video was a Confederate troop gravesite. There is also General Doar as well as the person who finished the race to complete the western railroad first. Of course, visiting the ABB gravesite was the highlight. They had to put gates up as a few people stole angel vases from the graves (in my opinion POS and not true fans of the band). Thanks for sharing.

    I worked around the office side of entertainment from 1981 to 1992 in San Francisco Bay Area. For much of the 1990s, Gregory lived in Marin County, California, . I met him by coincidence. It turns out we both had birthdays in December and he was a couple years older.. and I also grew up in the South. I write lyrics or poems but not musical scores.. I shared with him some of my lyrics and ask him for music ideas.. he immediately came up with a blues tune for my words... He also was interested in another poem I wrote.. he gave me a phone number and I was to get back in touch with him when he got back from a tour... I did try later, but at the time he had become very ill and needed a liver transplant. And he eventually moved back to Georgia and I never regained contact for the song he wanted to create with my poetry.... I was very sad when I heard he had passed....and missed out on a chance to set my poem to music... from a well-known musician...

    Like most of us Greg had his issues in the seventies and early eighties, but he was a righteous guy. I had a shop in Buckhead Georgia and Greg came in really liking a tan leather jacket we had. I looked around for Duane, who was my guitar god, but Greg was alone. I thought the jacket was a little small on him, but I told him that I would give it to him at cost (50% off) if he would wear it on his next album cover, half-jokingly. Didn't think about it again until I looked at the back of the live Filmore album. Regarded as one of the best live rock recordings in history. He was wearing it. I just think he liked that jacket! By the way the band is laughing because Duane is hiding an eight ball in his hands as the photographer came up suddenly! Gregs genius was hidden at first because of Duane and Dickey, but finally emerged through the years.

    Thank you for this. I had no idea that Butch was buried there too. I was born and raised in Macon, and used to visit Duane's and Berry's graves regularly, before the fencing was erected. Regards, Duck

    Man does this really make me feel weird seeing their graves. Being a life long fan and seeing all the shows and now seeing them in the ground somehow just feels wrong. I know its life but who else just felt really uneasy seeing them this way, guess so used to seeing singing and playing its just sad.

    Excellent, excellent post. Great commentary on the band's history. Used to go to Macon in the 1990s in between yearly jaunts to NY for the Beacon runs in March. Loved to spend time at Rose Hill. Used to throw Frisbees and see if we could hit the passing train as it went by the river. Thanks for the post. Brought back a lot of memories. Haven't been to Macon since '98. Thinking about returning for old times sake.

    Head up the road that runs along the RR Tracks. You will see Liz Reed on the left and eventually across the ravine is the Bond Memorial. To get to the Bond Memorial, you have to head up the hill past the grave of Little Martha then swing to your right to get to the Bond Memorial. Some jerk has stolen parts of the Bond Memorial. Idiots abound!

    @@frekitheravenous516 2 words???? Seems that you wrote 3!! LOL Anyone who would say something like that doesn't know squat about Dickie Betts. Yes, Trucks is a good player but the songs that Dickie has written are filled with such melody AND harmony. The harmony in the songs of the ABB is what set them apart from other bands and that harmony came from Dickey Betts. Dickey didn't play a million notes like some players but he is one of the most melodic players of all time. Suggest that you listen to all of the instrumentals that he wrote and then compare those to Instrumental Illness on Hittin' The Note; it's a great tune but very obvious that the harmony that Dickey provided was missing
