Allman Brothers Band Back Where It All Begins live

[@JasonGlisson]

Warren Haynes......still the hardest working man in music. Warren's solo on this song is just fantastic.

[@bigduke5150]

This solo is seared into my brain!

[@philtaylor2387]

4of the all time gr8 guitar players in one band over 50 years w no on stage jealousy or bs just beutiful complimentary music

[@Dave-bo8ry]

Dickey wrote all the ABB songs I love (Southbound, Ramblin' Man, Elizabeth Reed, Blue Sky), but this one's my favorite, and quite fitting today. We'll reach the end all we'll all be singin' and we'll be friends Back where it all begins Rest well, mon brer.

[@jarrodheglar1666]

Do yo thang Dickie!! Don't stop now!! Don't stop ever!!! One of the true Southern American treasures that we still have left in music. He may outlive me but there's just not many of them like Mr. Betts left!! No any as a matter of fact!! Their music has seen me through some really dark times but it's also there in the great times. Nothing like cranking up some Allmans around 9am on Saturdays and getting a good booger sugar and beer buzz going. Haven't touched the sauce in 18 years but this music does bring me back to some great times in my youth!

[@njabbfan]

This is awesome Warren just kills this song and Dickey at the top of his game .I think this was the peak of this particular lineup of the Allman Brothers Band. And my favorite lineup after the 1989 reforming of this legendary Allman Brothers Band.

[@mistywillis9132]

Yes he does

[@joelhaaland2639]

Every ABB song that I love was written by Betts except one , Melissa. For me Dickie Betts was ABB. Genius composer and player. He should get more attention.

[@OldIrishFan1966]

Totally agree! I love what Duane did, but Dickey was my favorite. Just love his style.

[@MrMetacomet]

Warren and Dicky. Both Gods.

Duane Allman Dickey Betts Warren Haynes Derek Trucks. That's one hell of a history of guitarists!

[@deniskostic1502]

you forget Dangeres Dan Toler !!!!!!

[@MDavidG1]

@Fuzzy Butkus Don't forget Les Dudek. While never an official member of the band, he contributed a lot of guitar work to the bestselling Brothers and Sisters album.

[@robertcostanzo9378]

Amazing!!!

[@LazyLightning91]

Fuzzy Butkus knows what’s up. Jack is an animal and reminds me of where Duane may have gone in his later years had he seen them.

[@jacksondiner]

Also Jack Pearson!

[@EscapeVelo]

All hail Warren Haynes, Allen Woody, and Marc Quiones....for making the Allman Brothers relevant again.

[@gmoore6166]

I’ve been a Dicky Betts fan from the Fillmore East days, just think how crazy good this band would’ve been if Duane and Berry was still around? This is probably the best lineup that really stands out after the turmoil and regrouping. I however did very much appreciate Dan Toler as he was no slob on guitar!

[@DougKeith-q6m]

This song kills me. Brings the tears like no other. I'm blessed to have lived in the best era of music.

[@jimmydorf7640]

RIP Dickie, heaven got a better than terrific guitar player today!!

This is easily my favorite version of the ABB, post Duane and Berry. So badass! Woody rumbled like nobody else.

[@leonnaveaux9414]

I saw them 2 or 3 times wirh Woody on bass. Just great. I dig Butch's t shirt, he & Jaimoe made magic rhythm man

[@NP_Ranch]

Dickeys swan song RIP brother life was always better thanks to you

[@hikgerguy1234]

Never knew that was Warren playing that solo. Holy Hell!! It's like he's in a trance, just going at it without even thinking about what he's doing. I wouldn't want to have to choose between him and Derek Trucks as to who's my favorite slide guitarist. Both amazing in their own way.

[@bobwilliams6173]

Don’t tell anybody, but I needed that little breather in the middle of the song!

[@jaygrenham]

Had to watch this today !!! RIP Dickey Betts !!!! Thank you for the fantastic music

[@maryshumate4629]

I know Greg and Dickie had their problems, but I don't think they would have been the Allman Brothers as successful without him. Dickie was a damn genius on the guitar, and singing! Love this!

[@IamLegend256]

I love Warren Haynes. His solo was amazing. But Dickey...god damm....he fucking killed it!

[@MrMetacomet]

Dickie blows me away!!!!!! So illustrious and bone jarring powerful!! Warren hangs nicely!

[@jonlieberman7819]

How I like to remember the Band after Duane...I saw this tour and consider myself Lucky....

[@larryphoenix9917]

Great stuff!! Saw them 22 times

[@teambeaton]

Feel so good watching and listening to this. Saw them 13 times starting in 1992 at Kingswood. Dickey was not there, Grisman sat in. I also seem to remember this little kid stepping out in a ball cap and an SG that was way too big for him KILLING IT on Statesboro, but my memory has slowly been slipping....

[@kolchak357]

Yes, that tour was great! 👍

[@ricardorafaelporta853]

Dickey y Warren dos de los mejores guitarristas que he escuchado

[@garydefoe4137]

Yes I remember those days when I was looking for some one to Care for me,, and I walked in for my appointment and my heart was beating love messages and this attractive young woman rhe look in her eyes like we knew each other and the next time we met we traded gifts and hugged one another and the next time we met we hugged one another in front of everyone and we knew we loved one another,,,,,,, I want to thank this adorable woman for giving me the love and compassion and the happiness she brought in my life for the days we were together,,,,, that I will always remember,,, thank you so much sweetheart 💞

[@Twotontessie]

Keep coming back to this over and over. Love the bass player. Seems like a big teddy bear.

[@peterschott1500]

Alan Woody-such a talent!

[@TheHonudiver]

I am a guitar guy, but how about a shout out for Butch and Jaimoe! This song wouldn't be nuthin without that freight train behind it! Both Dickey and Warren just killed it.

[@bak-mariterry9143]

And Marc on percussion.

[@BoscaBoss18]

I just came here to say that the album version of this song is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard

[@CraigBertrand-fc9nq]

RIP Mr.Betts. Thank you. Back to where it all begins. See you there

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Music should take you to places you want to go. ABB are great tour guides.

[@beverlysantarelli650]

This is my life song to be played at my funeral. I went from the coast to the desert and back to an island reaches out to me and captures my spirits

[@thejoepapoi1002]

Me as well.

[@Themanthatisi]

I miss Dickey….. I stopped going to ABB concerts after they told him to go, seen them 8 times with Dickey there. Great memories…..

[@kolchak357]

Was lucky enough to see this ABB lineup live a few times. Loved every minute of it. ♥️ This song makes me feel old and young at the same time. That’s magic 🪄

[@rossmiddleton6320]

Rest in peace, Dickey.........keep ramblin'.....

[@kevinwatson4541]

Absolutely a song which portrayed what the Allmans were all about. Great lyrics, Gregg and Warren harmonies with Dickey, and the solos off the hook.

[@jasond3938]

In 96' I was 26 , and listening to this , makes me feel 26 again ❤️✌️

[@obviouslyurnotagolfer148]

This is my favorite Allman Brothers song!

[@MSJsoul]

Allen Woody, laid back, gettin' the job done.

[@MSJsoul]

Sure as shit looks And sounds like Allen Woody to me. Seen them in that configuration many times. As well as Govt. Mike.

[@reebuck6169]

MSJsoul Hahaha that’s Woody alright

[@mikedibartolomeo6058]

this song means as much to me today as it did the firs time i heard it over 20 years ago.

[@Twotontessie]

5:52 the phrasing he starts right around there put a big smile on my face. Classic Dickey. And that's just the beginning.

[@mseabs741]

Agree 100% not taking anything away from Warren Haynes here...but Dickey's Solo and especially the section starting a 5:52 is off the charts good.

[@robertcostanzo9378]

If you've never seen or heard Derek Trucks play look him up especially on some of the ABB stuff. And get ready to be floored! The guy is incredible!!!! Duane, Dickey, Warren all legends!

[@mseabs741]

That 335/Marshall combo is just unparalleled...This performance is a watershed event for me.

[@torranceron3737]

God damn it Dickie , jesus Christ , watching the old master solo gives me the chills ! Anyone else a GABBA Fest debutant ? This one's for you Jack !

[@peterschott1500]

Sadly we lost 4 greats in this video-Greg Allman, Woody, Butch and Dickie!! RIP.

[@Wideangle11]

Betts and Hynes perfect example of two seamless guitar melodies in perfect harmony, wow!!

[@tapedoctor6814]

One of Dickey's greatest solos was on this song at Nissan Pavilion (now Jiffy Lube) in Barstow, Virginia from July 30 1995. Warren just blistered the hell out of his solo and Dickey had to respond in kind or look like he'd had it. The old pro came through big time. Recordings abound - find it - you will be glad you did.

[@girardsun4780]

is it out here somewhere on video?

Dickie Betts is the man

[@Buzzramjet]

As someone said a year ago, it is Dickey's playing that is just what the Allman Brothers sound was all about it.

[@MDavidG1]

It's true, and somebody probably first said it about forty eight years ago.

[@muleblues71]

It was Duane.

[@Buzzramjet]

@@muleblues71 I'm talking about AFTER Duane died.

[@muleblues71]

@@Buzzramjet Have to admit that after Warren joined the band, He lit a fire under Dickie's ass playing wise.

[@Buzzramjet]

@@muleblues71 N doubt Warren was a great guitar player but having seen the original play here in L.A. and then with just Berry at the Hollywood Bowl then without Berry, after that, it just did't seem the same. You can put a killer guitar player in Led Zeppelin if Jimmy left but would it be the same. Warren has played some KILLER guitar with the ABB but it just never seemed the same to me. And then when Dickie was gone...it wasn't them anymore.

[@chriscardenas8905]

I know everyone says Duane was the man. He was. But let's get real. There would have been no Allmam Bros without him. As much star power as Greg had I truly believe Dickey was the heart and soul after Duane died.

[@darrellsomers5427]
