You can tell Gregg still mourns his brother. Some people in our lives, we NEVER GET OVER, we just go on.

Got nothing against The Stones. I like The Stones. But the music & words that have resonated with me through all the stages, ages, parties and hard times of my life are those of the Allman Bros & Gregg Allmann

[mitchkenvin]

I truly believe they were the greatest band America has ever produced.

[BST-lmpo]

Amazingly Gregg was only 22 years old and Duane was 23 when they recorded 'Live at the Filmore East!'
What a performance!

I still vividly remember the first time I heard "Whipping Post" from the "Live at the Fillmore East" album. The world around me disappeared and it was just me and the music coming out those speakers. I had never heard a sound like that. I know my opinion doesn't mean anything but the Allman Brothers don't get enough credit for how incredible they were.

A life so full, rich and talented that people still remember him 50 years later!
REMEMBER Duane ALLMAN ❤️🎶❤️

Rest in peace Gregg and Duane Allman and Barry Oakley, may there be blue skies in heaven for all of you.

I can still hear the sadness in his voice..I can still see his facial features soften when he speaks of his brother ..let's not forget how close these 2 legends were in age and in their personal lives ..can you imagine how hard a pill that was to swallow ..bitter at best .may they both as well as Berry Oakley rest in Peace....💙✌😎🎵

Duane passed at 24...He was a kid, future would have been massive

[cyndeelancaster]

Gregg was and is still a force to be reckoned with...The Road Goes On Forever 💔🎼🎶🎵🍄🍑🕊☮️✌️♾

For me Gregg was one of the greatest blue eyed R&B, blues singers that there ever was. Miss his presence but he left a great legacy and the body of his work is to be treasured. If any fan has a opportunity to visit Macon Ga. visit The Big House and pay your respects to the Brothers at Rosehill Cemetery.

we just had our annual Skydog festival the other day here in Macon Georgia! I recommend everyone come visit the Allman Brothers Big House museum! RIP brother & PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS!

My first Allman Brothers Band LP.
" Live at the Filmore The East".
Best live album ever.

My brother died in an automobile accident in 1971, 5 months before Duane died. Sometimes it seems like so long ago, other times like yesterday. He was 2 and 1/2 years younger than me. Hugs Greg, losing a sibling is so hard.

[gwynnielsen]

The Allman Brothers were a quintessential '70s band that will always live on.

[lorrainespagnuolo]

I love Skydog!! His music 🎶🎸and his memory will live on forever.♥️🦋

What's very cool about Duane is that he kept doing sessions even after The ABB was fully active, off and running.
