The Allman Brothers Band "Whipping Post" (Live at Fillmore East, 1971)

A bonus post, for your Monday, Memorial Day Monday.  We remember, Gregg Allman, who passed away on this day, two years ago, at age 69.  Yours truly was not around when the original Allman Brothers Band was revolutionizing rock and roll music during their heyday.  That being said, still had a chance to see their modern incarnation with Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks on guitars, along with Gregg, the late, great Butch Trucks, Jaimoe, and Marc Quinones, on drums and percussion, and Oteil Burbridge on the bass, live, several times.  What an incredible band, the likes of which we will never see again.  Here is their performance of one of their epic songs (with Duane Allman), "Whipping Post"from their best known recording, "Live at Fillmore East."
