The Allman Brothers Band was an American rock band formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1969 by brothers Duane Allman (founder, slide guitar and lead guitar) and Gregg Allman (vocals, keyboards, songwriting), as well as Dickey Betts (lead guitar, vocals, songwriting), Berry Oakley (bass guitar), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson (drums). Subsequently based in Macon, Georgia, they incorporated elements of blues, jazz, and country music, and their live shows featured jam band-style improvisation and instrumentals.
Their first two studio releases, The Allman Brothers Band (1969) and Idlewild South (1970) (both released by Capricorn Records), stalled commercially, but their 1971 live release At Fillmore East was an artistic and commercial breakthrough. It features extended versions of their songs "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "Whipping Post", and is considered among the best live albums ever made.
Group leader Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident later that year - on October 29, 1971 - and the band dedicated Eat a Peach (1972) to his memory, a dual studio/live album that cemented the band's popularity and featured Gregg Allman's "Melissa" and Dickey Betts's "Blue Sky". Following the motorcycling death of bassist Berry Oakley one year and 13 days later on November 11, 1972, the group recruited keyboardist Chuck Leavell and bassist Lamar Williams for 1973's Brothers and Sisters. The album included Betts's hit single "Ramblin' Man" and instrumental "Jessica", which went on to become classic rock radio staples and placed the group at the forefront of 1970s rock music. Internal turmoil overtook them soon after; the group dissolved in 1976, reformed briefly at the end of the decade with additional personnel changes, and dissolved again in 1982.
The band re-formed once more in 1989, releasing a string of new albums and touring heavily. A series of personnel changes in the late 1990s was capped by the departure of Betts. The group found stability during the 2000s with bassist Oteil Burbridge and guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks (the nephew of their original drummer) and became renowned for their month-long string of shows at New York City's Beacon Theatre each spring. The band retired for good in October 2014 after their final show at the Beacon Theatre.
Butch Trucks died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on January 24, 2017 in West Palm Beach, Florida at the age of 69. Gregg Allman died from complications arising from liver cancer on May 27, 2017 at his home in Georgia, also at 69. The band was awarded seven gold and four platinum albums, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. Rolling Stone ranked them 52nd on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time in 2004.
Gregg Allman, who was buried in June of 2017 across a walkway from his older brother, Duane, and the band’s original bass player, Berry Oakley, as well as drummer Butch Trucks, are all interred at Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, Georgia.

ever since my parents died i feel like an ophran and i feel lost. but i find i'm most happy watching scott. 🥰Vickie
I was always taught as a child up to be reverent and respectful when going to cemeteries, like Scott is. I am sorry others weren’t taught the same.

Awesome job Scott! I actually lived in the same town as Gregg until 2016. I would run into him at the supermarket while he was shopping alone, I did food deliveries to his house (I had the gate code 😉) and have a few photos with him and a signed copy of his book. He passed a year after I left there so thank you for taking us to pay our respects to this very nice man. May he rest in peace 🕊
This cemetery it’s amazing, unique. The hills, and the sound of trains passing .. very old and preserve. It’s sad to see a fence around the graves ... it’s recently.
This is how I got my KZread name. Blue sky is one of my favorite songs by the Allman Brothers and the song is from 1972 ❤ oh and great memories from the 70s!! 🎶 You're my blue sky you're my sunny day 🎶
I dare to say that the Allman Brothers are the greatest southern rock band. I believe that they were the first. I was 15 in 1971 when I discovered them. That was in Chicago, where I was born and grew up. The Allman Brothers tree of life has provided us with many wonderful offspring: Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Allman Betts Band, The Devon Allman Project, and more. Thanks for the visit!
Georgia is one of those places that has piqued my curiosity for a long time for all of its history and scenery. I don’t know the Allman Brothers’ music that well but this video definitely makes me want to check them out! The 60s were these BEST times for rock and roll music 🎸 Love the epitaph, “Set free,” very musical and inspiring.
You’re everything I like in a man. You’re handsome and good hearted and I’ll always support you because you have that for me and all viewers. You have put a big smile on my face. Vickie❤️😊
Thanks for showing these gravesites. To all the musicians we have lost their playing beautiful music 🎶 in heaven.
Thank you for showing the graves and album covers, I love that! I have loved the Allman Brothers since the 70's, they were the pioneers of Southern Rock! WI met Gregg Allman at Lake Compounce in CT, he couldn't have been nicer and so cool. It was a big gathering of sober bikers. I still listen the albums on a record player. As for the band, they sure did have a tragic bunch of years, while giving us timeless songs to never be forgotten.
the words on his stone are part of the lyrics to the song he wrote Mellisa. Been there so many times, saw them so many times and still visit them every time i am in Macon.
We kids drove from Fort Worth to Dallas in 1972 or so to see the Allman Brothers, who were renowned for their looong sets. After 4 hours, we finally left. The concert continued.
R.I.P. Dickey...😞🙏
Hi Scott, what an awesome cemetery that is, some much history of the Allman brothers, no wander that they all wanted to be buried there, there favourite hang out. I love the way the Allman brothers graves are well protected and gated off, so tragic the way they died, I love the midnight rider song. RIP to the Allman brothers 💐💐💐💐💐💐The cemetery is so unique from all the others you see, it’s so nice to have something different. RIP little Martha, such a beautiful grave of her💐💐💐💐. RIP to the Bond family 💐❤️💐💐💐💐. It really upsets me when people vandalise other peoples graves, it’s so disrespectful and nasty. Thank you Scott for taking us there. 🤟🏼✌️👍⭐️🥰
Hi sweetie, it's a damn shame how people desecrate graves today. In my day, we would sit and maybe have a drink, smoke a J and play guitar. We would have never even thought about doing anything to those graves. I love the interview Gregg did with Dan Rather. I was heartbroken when he passed. The Allman Brothers have always been part of my soundtracks. Peace...
Great Band, tragic loss and these guys started the Southern Rock movement. RIP Allman Brothers and Berry n Trucks. ❤😢 Awesome video n thanks Scott.
Scott I’m so glad you covered this. I was thinking today that I’d like to see where Gregg was laid to rest and there’s no one of rather see cover this than you. Thank you so so very much for allowing us to see this. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Nice work Scott. You never disappoint. My only son tragically passed away a month ago today. He used to love watching your channel too. 😢💔😞
Thank you for this video....i was disappointed about a year ago, i was supposed to go visit the site but the hills and the stairs stopped me because of my wheelchair so i had to turn around so thank you for being the legs for the ones who are unable to visit such places.
Me and my brother traveled to see all of them about a year ago. We went to the two accident sites and ate at the restaurant they loved, the H & H ❤ Such sweet people at the restaurant. They told us the table the Allman Brothers always sat at and we ate at their table. It was awesome 😎
The Allman brothers is a awesome group I remember in 1974, when I was 8.Sad they have all passed away May the Allman brothers,RIP,💐 Thanks for the video from Morrow Ga.

For them to all be buried together makes a huge statement. They were true brothers and friends who weren't just acting that way for the camera. What a beautiful section for them, too. If there's a rock and roll heaven, they're up there doing it together for sure! Very interesting on the shooting location and the lady named Elizabeth. Love the grave of the little girl Martha .. and the little baby, so sad 😢 ... It's so cool to see the back album cover location. What a beautiful place this is. Skinny roads like that in cemeteries drive me crazy btw. RIP to Mr. Bond and God bless the mess in that section too. Well, it took me longer than I thought to get the me time to come back to actually watch this, but sooo worth the wait! What a great video Scott!! RIP to all ❤💐
You should do stuff on albums! I would be glued. It’s just not like that anymore!! Oh so many too! Like these ! Fascinating stuff! Well liked band! RIP Allman Bros!
Watching for 3rd time!! Great job on this Scott...die hard Allman Brothers fan.
Blue sky by them is one of the first songs i ever played as a kid on my dads record player
OMG!! SCOTT... THANK YOU THANK YOU....THANK YOU...I'm a huge Allman brothers fan. Never been to the cemetery but dying to go. I been listening to them since the 70s. Their music ROCKS!! I thought about moving to Macon. The Allman brothers rock!!
Strange to see band members together. Playing music together forever!! Very peaceful area.❤❤

This is one of the best videos you have done. They really fixed the allman brothers grave site up. There was a small stairway in the middle of it.(just refer to older video and pictures) so when greg was initially laid to rest, he was at the edge of that staircase. So they took out the staircase, fillled everything in, and this is what there is. Seems they got rid of a lot of shrubbery around the graves of duane allman and berry oakley. When i look at the hills in that cemetery, i think of "moguls", the slopey hills skiers go down in competitions. Thank you for showing us the Bond grave, where they shot the back album cover. As i once read somewhere, "they're Allmans, they dont need much". With their talent, and creativity, this statement holds true.😊
RIP Duane & Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks & Berry Oakley 🙏🕊️💔😢. Thanks for doing this Scott and always doing these type of videos with the outmost respectful way possible 👌. "And other things that they done here" 🤣🤣 Scott you kill me man😂. RIP Martha Ellis 🙏🕊️💔
Beautiful plot they have. Thank you Scott for sharing this video.May the Allman Brothers rest in peace 💕
Looking forward to watching! RIP Allman brothers
Rest in Heavenly Paradise to The Allman Brothers Berry Oakley and Butch Trucks. Rest Well Southern Rock Legends
R.I.P. Dickey Betts. The world is just not gonna be the same with out you. Right now I'm going to listen to you play Jessica live. And maybe shed a tear or two.
17:32 Thanks for loving Georgia, Scott. Georgia loves you too❣️
I was there 2 years ago on a sweltering August day. Mid 90s. Humid. A Sunday. Couldn't find the graves. Some guy driving through told me where to go. Hard to find. I spent 30 minutes there. All alone. It's a very eerie cemetery with weeds, etc grown over everywhere. Old graves. Can't describe the feeling I had. Left some coins on their graves. The railroad tracks in back is where the famous photo of the band was taken in 1969. The Big House is a great tour also. I missed Cher by a day. She was there to visit Greg's best friend who was in the hospital. They told me Dickey Betts doesn't come back to the house. Too many bad memories. Feels haunted to him.
Awesome to see, man... God Bless the Allman Brothers. Thank you for posting! 👍
Thanks for doing this video Scott. I'm a huge fan of the Allman Brothers. My dad would always play them growing up. So there a big part of my childhood. My mom and dad took me to one there concerts when I was a baby, I'm now 41. I guess I was sleepy, and I think it was Duane brought me on stage, started singing to me to sleep. Wish I could remember that. Ramblin Man one my favorite songs.❤💗🥹🩷💜🩵❤️🙏

Cher has a son by Greg Allman. He looks just like his dad. Last I heard Cher was trying to get him off drugs. Love you Scott.....
Thanks Scott for showing these graves to us
Beautiful plots yeah that’s odd I would want to be with my sons it’s sad amazing band I’m really tired of all the good being taken away it’s time for some bad to go amazing as usual stay safe much love always ❤
A beautiful spot for a fantastic group. It’s heartwarming that the band is together still even after passing away ❤ making beautiful music together still in heaven
You are the best....so very respectful! Keep up the good work, and stay safe!❤
Duane was so talented. I consider myself a blues man. Duane would've been a household name if not for the crash
a very hard cemetery to drive through but worth it .. I felt a certain mystique the whole time that I was there
Scott, OMG the Allman Brothers band is definitely one of my favorite groups. I was born and raised in Georgia still live in Thank you so much for this documentary.ps you should move to Georgia Man very peaceful place to live Derrick Carter from Georgia.
ABB FOREVER❤🍄
You were right in My back yard. The Otis Redding Museum is there also Scott.
Ahhh. The top gear theme tune and my name!!! Best song ever!!
You showed more reverence and respect than the cackling hens did, having a full volume conversation about innane things they could be having at home, not in a cemetery. Some people.
Amazing, unusual, beautiful cemetery.
interesting cemetery.... another one for the books!
1:46 Good Afternoon Scott 🙋🏽. I hope your day is pleasant 💖.l was watching Greg Allman in concert (Old Concert) on PBS last night.❤
and the road goes on forever...
Love the Allman brothers, great video
You need a scooter or a bicycle to visit Rosehill! Our beetle even has trouble! Welcome to Macon!
Wow! Thanks. I have a couple singles from them. One song was recorded before Greg’s Cher years. They weren’t together long. Thanks again. Good job. 😊
It's hard to understand death and i feel my mom left me but i know its not her fault why she died. but you feel it's unfair. everyone with grief sending my love and postive thoughts. Vickie💓
My favorite Allman Brothers tune is Just Ain't Easy, I love the bluesy voice and the signature Dickey Betts guitar pieces . Do you realize Duane was only with them for 3 years till he died, then Barry Oakley for 4 years . Great video as always Mr. Scott, the Allman Brothers love you too.
Thanks Scott for what you do. Love your channel❤
You did a wonderful job Scott you always do a great job, and you always do it with respect ❤
You are the best ..u explain things in a respectful manner and reverance . .your parents did a wonderful job with raising you with lots of love and teaching you to respect others and not make fun of peoples lives . Good job dear. I know they are watching down on you and are very proud of you and all you do ..❤
When the cemetery was established in the 1800s the roads/lanes were for horse or mule drawn hearses/wagons & carriages... Its an amazing beautiful peaceful resting place set up like a park... historic. Come "take a walk along the river"...
Great job Scott. I'm an Allmans freak and can fact check anything without a book or phone. You did a great job. I think you did show a pic of Duane holding a pint instead of Berry at one point. Otherwise you have the lore down cold
Thank you for taking me on the trip to Macon. Really neat fact about the back album cover. Fascinating stuff Scott! Love the content!
check out the video of Greggs funeral that was held there at the cemetery. he had bag pipes at the gate, and speakers up in the trees with the sound of birds . it was just perfect and all the remaining band memebers and his children, family, wife and some ex wifes were there

I visited his grave site 6 weeks after he was buried and before they gated it all in. His widow, Shannon Williams, showed up right after I did and I got to meet her.

Scott, can you do a grave tour and tribute for Robyn Gerard of General Hospital fame? Her life had a very sad ending less than a month ago. Did you hear about how she had been homeless and living in San Jacinto? Her sister is another famous actress Crystal Bernard (tv show Wings). They both were so beautiful, I remember when Robyn was on General Hospital in the 80s. She was also a very talented singer. She had a story line on General Hospital with Shaun Cassidy.
What a fab video Really enjoyed this one Thanks for sharing Scott
RIP To The Brothers 😔 ♈🍁♈

Big fan Scott just watched WM40
I think there is a definite story of Joseph Bond that would be worthwhile to cover...Joseph Bond was one of the wealthiest men in middle Georgia before the Civil War. He was the state's largest cotton grower and most successful planter. It's reported that in 1857, he set a world record with a cotton sale of 2,200 bales for $100,000 At the age of 44, Bond was killed by a former overseer who he had fired for mistreating a slave...and much more to the story of his life.
Scott what a wonderful video ❤
Rest in peace Greg Allman
