There is a great story about Duane congratulating Gregg for writing the intro to Whipping Post with such an unusual and complex 11/4 time signature. Duane, who had a deep knowledge of music structure from his days as a studio musician, was blown away.
Gregg’s response was something along the lines of “Yeah, I don't really know what you're talking about. I just knew I needed to try and get from where I was back to where I started and that seemed to be the way to do it.”
(Note: Although the intro is often described as 11/4 time, some say it is more accurately a fast 11/8.)

I'm in the same boat as Gregg here
Duane is speaking ancient Latin to me, although I understand it is grounded in solid musical theory, and it takes that kind of thought process to make great music also.
to any and all, whether their music is written from the technical side or on the fly. Either way, it is a gift from God, and not something that can be taught or learned if the gift is not there to begin with.Posted on 10/31/26 at 11:03 am to geaux86

I'm going with 11/4 on this one. I've played it numerous times, and that's how I count it. The Grateful Dead also had a song called The Eleven. It was the same meter and close to the same tempo as Whipping Post.
It's hard to believe that Jaimo is the last man standing of one of the greatest American bands.

One can only imagine what the Allman Brothers would have achieved had Duane not died at the age of 24. The band only existed about two years when the crash occurred.
Still one of the greatest innovative musicians to perform live. Jam on brothers. The road goes on forever!
