Professor Of Rock has released the video below, along with the following introduction…
“Coming up, it’s the untamed story of the Southern rock anthem ‘Midnight Rider’, which was born in a farmhouse outside of Macon, Georgia. The artist The Allman Brothers’ Gregg Allman penned most of it in under an hour, but when he hit a wall with the crucial third verse, inspiration ceased. Refusing to let the moment slip away, Gregg did the unthinkable. In the dead of night, with nowhere open and his creative fire blazing, he called on the band’s trusty roadie. Together, they actually broke into a recording studio to capture the magic before it faded. Breaking and entering might be a crime, but in this case, it was a necessary step in the fulfillment of his destiny. One that was part of a journey packed with triumph and heartbreak to create one of the greatest rock songs ever. It all unfolds next on Professor Of Rock.”
