Allman Betts Band w/ Billy Strings - Midnight Rider [8/14/21, Hoxeyville]

[@marksanders8028]

I hope they all keep doing this an never stop. We need this so bad , all the new music is crap.

[@coynable]

Crap, indeed. Fake music.

[@CarolSolvay]

I love it! I was born and raised on The Allman Brothers Band! I love Dickey Betts and their boys are Rockin It! Billy Strings takes it Beyond the Beyond for sure! 💫

[@coynable]

Me too! I Couldn't agree with you more...but I do! I'm 75 and it hurts to see the great ones I grew up with (and I'm going back to the 50s, thanks to my bobbysoxer Aunt Penny RIP who played Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee, Elvis, etc, etc, on 45s while babysitting me) and was so influenced by, not only in music, but all the arts, (I'm still not sure if Kerouac was positive or negative, probably both lol). However, thanks to the Great Spirit, the Ancestors progeny carry on...only better, and stronger. Sorry, I could go on and on, but, for your sake, I won't.🤑

[@sscott5771]

Holy Shit! Does the heart good to see and hear real musicians playing real music for a change . thanks for sharing.

[@coynable]

Man, I'm with you!

[@MelissaThompson432]

Allman Betts definitely inherited the flat out boogie jam gene.... And Billy is in his element jamming with them. They hit the zone.

[@ramosel]

Is there anything Billy doesn't hit out of the park...?

[@MelissaThompson432]

@1040north I couldn't have put it better.

[@captaindeluxe7328]

Duane Betts "Inherited" it through practice and developed skill. Devon Allman is riding his Father's coat tails.

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

Man, Betts looks just like his father. And Billy Strings continues to amaze. Great-sounding band, all.

[@jhrdrake7205]

Seems like he is trying to look exactly like him which to me is odd, wouldn't a son want to have his own identity? Then again I suppose the money is in doing Allman stuff and looking like the Allmans.

[@dudeotis]

first thing I thought ! Looks like Dicky Betts 40+ years ago !!

[@coynable]

YES!. Take a look at Willie's kids.

[@coynable]

Man! This is incredible!!!!! I'm looking at a picture of Gregg right now and the chills are just...well, you know what chills do...they let you know WHAT IS TRUE!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!! I want this played while my ashes are drifting away on a Lynn, MA, Red Rock Reservation sea breeze!!!!!. I'm 75, extremely grateful to be alive, and satisfied that the good things I've done will outweigh the bad. Sorry, I DO go on.

[@kennethgrimes5494]

Thought it was Dicky from a distance for a few minutes,Lol my goodness this is great to keep the music going.

[@donaldfeger91]

It's still good to be able to hear these old songs again!

[@danvaught5905]

Yes! Performed with the known lineage and yet it sounds fresh! The band definitely puts its own stamp on these beloved songs of ABB!

[@coynable]

@@danvaught5905 My feelings, totally. The ancestry and the DNA is passed on. But, all too often brainwashed (whitewashed in primary and secondary education) or destroyed by drugs and alcohol.

[@MW_Builds]

Billie is incredible. The shame is some old timers find it hard to respect someone so young that clearly cannot have paid the dues they have. But, Billie is an incredible talent and when everyone sees it first hand, he will climb to heights never attained even by the GOATers, yet.

[@coynable]

These kids are BORN with the Blues, but they also have to know how to play, which they do, and, they remain true. Yet, is the key word here. I mean, who could ever be better than, say, Little Richard? Nick Curran comes close, but yet. So, I dig what you're saying man. And look at Butter! White kid, criticicized for aping in Rolling Stone?? Man, if you've ever seen him play, I'm talking (maybe too much) sat at a front table at an intimate Blues club, like Lennie's on The Pike on Rte 1 in MA. There's NO DOUBT that he was born with The Blues. He was Muddy"s under study on the South Side for crying out loud. No one will ever top him. Except maybe for The Harmonicats! Hahahaha. Always leave 'em laughing's what I say.

[@DuoJet63]

Dickie Betts is just loving dueting with Billy Strings. The expression on his face and in his eyes shows it.

[@sirwinston2368]

Dickie Betts is not there. That's his son Duane with the 335.

[@SSRacing66]

@@sirwinston2368 Duane's a chip off the old block tho

[@waynelatham3250]

Betts appreciates Billy's talent for sure as we all do.

[@coynable]

You can tell.

[@coynable]

They're feeding off of each other. Which is the way it should be, AND ALWAYS WILL BE!!! OMgosh those high notes!!! MORE!!!

[@123Goldhunter11]

Billy and Betts. Love it.

[@waltergwiazda1803]

I live in Jacksonville FL,and there's a house 🏘️ in Riverside were the Allman brothers band started! Pretty cool history 😎👍

[@kellyclark7517]

I’m in St. Aug,and they played here a few yrs ago at Rythem n ribs. Good stuff n super cheap! This lil town has some goood music!

[@markalbert7756]

Crazy how much Duane resembles Dickie - physically and vibe

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

You had the two guitars just right and it was great......then the hat .........but...when you panned stage left you got the lead singer playing for the crowd.......Could not of been any better. Great video! tHanks!

[@WilliamKuypers]

I don"t know who recorded this, but thank you.

[@arthursmith3401]

I remember being at the concert the very first time the original boys played this live!!!! Man was the crowd electrified, it was awesome!!!!! Thousands of people were singing, just incredible!!!

[@bronyraur7439]

I love this band!! I saw the Greg Allman band at Bonita lakes (Hattiesburg MS) which was in 1998. Great show. I only got to see the allman brothers one time which was in Pensacola Fl in the fall of 2001 at the old bayfront auditorium, which was torn down many years ago.

[@miketurek3074]

Puts a Smile on this Old Man's face.

[@jimmymundane1084]

I just love that Berry's kid just puts off a positive vibe regardless of what's going down. He's happy to be part of it even when Devon is so often struggling.

[@sdxn8117]

Almost didn't recognize Billy with short hair, but boy can that boy play! The band was great too. Loved it.

[@thetwoboyos8366]

Billy Allman and his incredible String band

[@bjams8817]

Strings is awesome, great talent !!

[@jeffjones6221]

I did a festival show yrs ago with Devon Allman and Dwayne Betts.

[@rheaharris7201]

OUTSTANDING

[@randyc5650]

As good as Billy is, Duane is showing him how to jam. In Billy's world, they take turns. The Allman Brothers and Allman Betts will do that too but they would just as soon play over, under and around one another. Either way this show was a treat.

[@dawnhoekstra5644]

Billy and Duane jamming together is the best part of the video.

[@sipius22]

This is great stuff!

[@georgehamolsky615]

Beautiful like a flashback,

[@johnbolton9483]

[@josephbrabander9124]

Midnight Rider is on Gregg's solo album "Laid Back', some of his best work.

[@davidsolomon7966]

Without a doubt. It has my favorite song of Greg's , Queen of Hearts. Something about that song that has just stuck with me from the very first time I heard it.

[@yeah_its_Ron]

Is that John Malkovich on percussion? Billy’s just got it, that kid’s phenomenal.

[@halberry3813]

outstanding! Billy outstanding!

[@peppers776]

Billy looks human on electric, otherworldly on acoustic.

[@MrJasdog107]

Great video and sound plus Billy Strings wow.

[@jefftippett3831]

Billy is every bit as expert at electric guitar as he is acoustic! Love to see this side as well.

[@jhrdrake7205]

His electric is a bit awkward, cramming notes with very little space and dynamics. I can see where the bluegrass side is clashing with the rock. Still, this is an impromptu jam so very few people would just step in and go SRV on it. Billy is definitely one of the great guitar players going today.

[@riyahendix1416]

@@jhrdrake7205 totally agreed , you know billy is very good guitarist, but you gotta know the pulse of that music'

[@patm5086]

It's like the 70s again. When bands jammed

Does dicky ever play out anymore?

[@larryhudspeth4072]

Billy will be drawing stadium crowds soon! He's pretty amazing young guitarist. Would love to see him on stage with Jeff Beck.

[@clarklester406]

Larry, REALLY?? Jeff Beck huh, that's flat out HUMOROUS!! Most people don't even REALIZE how talented Jeff actually is!!!

[@larryhudspeth4072]

@@clarklester406 Dude, I am well aware of Jeff Becks talent..followed him since Yardbirds in the 60's, have most of his albums on vinyl..., saw him live at Royal Albert Hall in May... bloody awesome guitar playing as always! Have you not heard Billy Strings? The kid is a guitar wizard..plays a lot of bluegrass and also jams with Allman Bros. and he's still in his 20's. Also would dig seeing Beck on stage with John Mayer...another monster player. Creative people can often stimulate each other to make magic happen when they get together.

[@rustysmith540]

Larry, Clark doesn't play. He don't get the pocket. When it happens... they were all great here. Good camera work and sound as well. We're lucky to see this. Enjoy it!

[@peterstclair9428]

[@c5juarez]

Duane Betts got scorched by Billy!

[@blindstrom14]

Tedious. It’s been done, and much better.

[@srobg1956]

Dickie Betts still owes me for a show he f’d up in Saratoga Springs in the early 90’s. He was too messed up to play and had to be taken off the stage. Greg’s vocals were pitiful also. Worst show ever.

[@thomasgarvey9721]

That’s rock and roll bro. You took one for the team 👍

[@brushstroke3733]

You got a story out of it. If it had been a great show, you probably would have less memory of it. I saw them in the mid 1990s twice and they were great, but I don't remember any of it other than Don Johnson joining them onstage to sing "Ramblin' Man." I was surprised that he was a good singer.
