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!

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

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.

I've watched him perform, only showing a very serious face. It's now 2021, and, watching this segment, this is the first time I've ever seen Greg Allman really laugh - 'glad to know he had a sense of humor.

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 always be remembered as legends.

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

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 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, The KING of Southern Rock.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

nice to see Greg laugh

Good night, Gregg. Thanks for everything.

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

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

Rest easy Gregg. Beautiful soul x

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!! 🙏🕊️💙🙏

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.

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.

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

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!

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

Gregg has a great, genuine laugh.

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

Thank you for posting this!!!!!

RIP Gregg Allman.

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.

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"

Miss you Gregg.

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.

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....

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.

Have seen the ABB and their solo projects probably 25 times between Boston and NYC. Got to meet Dickey, Gregg, and Warren at different times throughout the years. Even in the early 80’s when Gregg was always flying high, he would pack The Channel in Boston and tear the roof off the place. There was nothing better than hearing the band and their wall of sound playing their asses off. It was never quite as good for after they (Butch) kicked Dickey out of the band. Dickey had all the charisma and wrote the best songs. Glad I got to see these legends over and over - they were some great times.
