"Whipping Post" - Allman Brothers (video)

Question on FB:  what was it 1/4 of Americans did not do last year?

My guesses were 'eat a peach' or 'listened to "Whipping Post"'



OK, so you're no longer part of the 25% ... and that's good because it's a worthless 25% and "Whipping Post" is southern blues at its finest.


Of course you want to see them and here they are live at Fillmore East in 1970 doing "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"



As the story goes, one of them was wasted and passed out on top of a grave in a cemetery.  The grave marker was Elizabeth Reed and this is their song for her.
