  1. "Whipping Post" is a song by #TheAllmanBrothersBand. Written by #GreggAllman, the five-minute studio version first appeared on their 1969 debut album The Allman Brothers Band. The song was regularly played live and was the basis for much longer and more intense performances. This was captured in the Allman Brothers' 1971 #double live album #AtFillmoreEast, where a 22-minute, 40-second rendition of the song takes up the entire final side.

  5. Various Artists, All My Friends: Celebrating the Songs & Voice of Gregg Allman, 2014 on Rounder

    A tribute concert to Gregg Allman with a star-studded set of guests, recorded January 10th, 2014 at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, and put out on Blu-Ray, DVD, and CD by Rounder.

    Allman faced significant health issues in the 2010s, including hepatitis c, liver cancer, and a lung transplant – it’s great they were able to film this concert with Allman participating before he died in 2017.

    Some great tributes here from some of the expected folks (Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, The Allman Brothers Band) as well as some I did not expect: Dr. John, Keb’ Mo’, Jackson Browne, Taj Mahal, John Hiatt, Eric Church.

    My copy is the 4xLP vinyl edition Rounder put out in 2022, which I got directly from the Rounder Store. It’s a well packaged box set with a booklet of photos and credits.

    On this day in 1975, #Cher married #GreggAllman four days after divorcing #SonnyBono. The couple broke up ten days later and then endured an on again off again three and a half year marriage before they too divorced.
