Yup. One of the best, and IMO not even the best version of the song! The 1971 live version is 23 minutes long, incredibly raw and a rollercoaster. I like Duane’s first theme in that more than the 1970. You can see they spent the year perfecting it and mastering their parts.

I firmly believe our generation had the very best music, late 1960s to mid 1970s.

That's because the music came first in those days. Today, it's about image, hype, money, lawyers, corporate BS, and digital perfection to the point that even if somebody writes a good song, the production has all the little flaws engineered out of it. The end result often sounds bland and sterile, even if it's loud and fast. We can thank pitch and time correction for that. Todays music just doesn't breathe like this old stuff did.

These musicians were not kings, nor prophets, just great musicians that had a window of opportunity, a musical time that was special, and they jumped through. At this time, we wanted to change something, maybe saw that rainbow, but could never quite touch it. Those days are gone, I don't think this type of music will return. But if by chance it does, the youth who truly know music and truly know what "the possibilities" are, will be there honoring what was once.

The foundation elements are certainly based on blues, jazz, country,... they invented 'Southern Rock'. The greatest jam band of all time,... a lot of people do not realize a large percentage of their performances consist of improvisation,... which always made it interesting for the listener,... no two nights were the same. I was fortunate enough to experience The ABB live 28 times,... always a 2 1/2 to 3 hour show and best bang for the buck. A band thoroughly dedicated to their music and fans.

I'm 69 and was fortunate enough to have seen them three times while Duane was still alive. Once at a skating rink in Birmingham when they were still "Almond Joy". Again at a National Guard Armory and again on the Quad at the University Of Alabama. All three of those times were when you could walk up and talk to them. I'm a lucky SOB.

You are from Alabama? We are from B'ham and my Daddy took me to the Atlanta Pop Festival in 1970 (I was 7) where the ABB (and some guy named Jimi) became Gods of Rock and Roll. We lived in West End in '69 and there was only one skating rink I remember. One night, I got to go with only my 13 year old baby sitter. That little woman made a bad boy out of me. If you were there, I was the kid that could not skate. Roll Tide, War Eagle, Go Gators, and f the Dawgs!

I was turned on to the Allmans after the Dead when I was 18 in 86, and my life was never the same after hearing Whipping Post Fillmore 71. ❤😂🎉😊

EXTRAORDINARY. OTHER-WORLDLY. OMG!!! Spectacular. The best ever... Dickey's and Duane's brains were connected and we just couldn't see the wires.

Exactly what Jaimoe (and later the rest of them, too) referred as-- "HITTING THE NOTE, man!" .... when they were all in the same zone tuned in to each other just so perfectly, that not a single one of them could hit a bad note or lick even if they had wanted to or tried to. It became so much such a catch phrase between all of them as they continued to play together more & more and hone their craft to *MUSICAL PERFECTION* ..... that they used the term to title a later album after they had lost both Duanne and Berry so close together within about a year apart of each death in order to honor both of their fallen brothers.

Funny, at 64, I look back now at the music we heard while growing up and it was nothing short of creative genius, this song was among the very best. If you doubt it get your hands on the recording of Allman Brothers Fillmore East, pickup a decent set of headphones, lean back close your eyes, open your ears, and just enjoy the ride Duane, Dickey, Gregg and the rest of this band can take you on....amazing. I found myself falling in love with Southern Rock (Outlaws, Lynrd Skynrd, Henry Paul, Allman Brothers, etc.) and more proud than ever I couldn't dance through the whole damn disco era that followed. God, I love this amazing tune, there is actually a better 21 minute version on Fillmore East from 1971 and between that and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed from the same set are just amazing back to back. Considered the second best live music recording of all time by Rolling Stone, nuff said.......50 years old and still as gripping and powerful today as when recorded.
