Country Stars Join Gregg Allman On Stage To Perform “Midnight Rider”

Call me old-fashioned, but when it comes to the music I love best, I'd take the classics over today's chart-toppers any day.

As you can see in videos like this one of kids dancing to hits from the Motown era, they really don't make songs like they used to! That's why it's important to keep the music alive through awesome performances like the one in this next video.

When Allman Brothers musician Gregg Allman first penned "Midnight Rider" back in 1970, his life was much different than it is when he tours today. His big brother and bandmate Duane was still alive and these Southern rockers had just begun to really break through with a new sound in the music industry. Flash forward 45 years later and Allman is just now starting to retire, but not without playing the song he wrote in the middle of the night decades earlier in Macon, GA.

In the following awesome video, we see Allman play his classic song "Midnight Rider" with a couple of younger, equally famous friends who cite him as one of their biggest influences. Although the song, which is about overcoming life's struggles and pushing through the dark times, is amazing on its own, there's no denying that help from country stars Zac Brown and Vince Gill makes this performance truly unforgettable.

Do you agree? Don't keep this amazing performance all to yourself. Please SHARE this video with your friends on Facebook!
