The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post (REACTION!)

The thing I always found wild about this song is that Gregg Allman The singer , Organ player ,and writer of this song was not even 22 years old when it was recorded. He sounds and vibes like a man 40 years older then he was at the time.

Gentlemen, you have GOT to hear this from their album "Live at the Fillmore East". It just kills live - about 20 minutes of face-melting brilliance. Frank Zappa also does a killer version of this song. You should also check out "Midnight Rider"

Duane Allman is never talked about enough when talking about the greatest musicians of all time. He was a Genius, and had very few peers. There's a reason Clapton wanted to work with him.

Calling them a smorgasbord of great music is pretty accurate. That original lineup was a murderers row of talent. RIP Duane, Berry, Butch & Gregg

"In memory of Elizabeth Reed" is my go to Allman Brothers tune.

I'm 63 yrs old , this is one of the 4-5 songs in my lifetime, i recall thinking the first time I heard it that this is taking it the next level. The Live at Fillmore East album is arguably the best live album ever recorded. Everything on it a treasure.

Doesn't matter how much of a metalhead or a rush fan i am, i always wanted to play guitar like the Allman brothers

I played this song for my 15 year old nephew a couple of years ago as he had never heard the Allman Brothers Band before. He asked what genre they were before we listened and I said, "It's blues ,it's jazz, it's progressive rock, it's southern rock, etc." He looked at me strangely and said, "I'm probably not going to like this but I'll give it a shot." When it was over he said, "Just damn. The Allman Brothers Band are their own genre and it's one of the best things my ears have ever heard." It's like a feel good song... when you're feeling bad.

The Allman Brothers Band was designed as a live jam band. Everything from 2 drummers to the dualing guitarists. They always owned the stage when they played.

Duane Allman was one of the most influential guitarists of his time. He played slide guitar on Derrick and the Dominoes "Layla".

When my dads first wife left him in 71, my oldest brother said he played this song on repeat at top volume for a month straight

The Allman Brothers were really a genre by themselves. Greg Allman is one of my top 5 vocalists of all time and Duane Allman is one of my top 5 guitarists of all time, so much talent 🤘🏽

"A feel good song when you're hurting." You just defined Blues. That's the beauty of blues and gospel. Turning Pain into Joy.

"It's Not My Cross To Bear" Is a fantastic song from these guys!

All if the offshoots of this band are great as well! Tedeschi/ Trucks Band, Gov’t Mule . Dickie solo

Glad to see Allman Brothers Band getting some more love. If you guys are considering a southern rock marathon, you have got to check out "Green Grass and High Tides" by the Outlaws. I highly, highly doubt you'll be disappointed.

Allman Brothers are best experienced live. They are on another level.

“One Way Out” “Statesboro Blues” and “Southbound” are all great classic ABB tunes. You will not be disappointed.

Allman Bros are one of the quintessential bands, and this is one of their best. The best music is always the stuff that you feel in your soul... If you don't feel this one in your soul, you might not have one.

Gentlemen, from someone who’s listened to the Allman Brothers at Fillmore East album over thousand times, was fortunate to see Duane Allman play live, please take the advice of the commentor below me, Mr. Fabozzi, and play the live version from “At Fillmore East”. By your reaction of the studio version which we just heard you will need medical care after the live version. 😁
