Just heard of your passing good sir. Thanks for the songs over the years. I'm in no hurry to get dead, but when I get to heaven, one of the first things I'm gonna ask Jesus for is the concert schedule. Seems like all the good ones are gonna be there ahead of me.

My first concert was Allman Brothers on lawn of Miami Beach Jackie Gleason Auditorium August 1970. Allman Brothers opened for a band called Fantasy. Dickey and Duane together were like Zeus and Apollo, guitar gods. Rest in Blue Sky, Dickey.

I saw Dickey Betts and Great Southern in 1977 at Kirkwood Meadows in California along with Charlie Daniels and Commander Cody. I think it was a great concert,I got pretty wasted. After all it was the 70’s

[@michaelbailey5729]

Dickey Betts never gets old he put the Allman Brothers on the map the man literally coined the songs that made them who they are Warren Haynes and Dickie Betts twin guitar solos or legendary love watching those old KZbin clips

[@johnpayakovich3844]

They dont make music like this So fortunate to have lived at that time

Dickey Betts is what being a musician is all about...a super player, yet he enjoys others playing...he just loves making music and what a joy to listen to him!

RIP Dickey Betts. The incredible music of my generation is slowly leaving us and IMHO no one is in line to fill their shoes. If feel sorry for my grandchildren. The true human element has been replaced with trash and technology.

[@Craigkimmel]

I feel your pain but believe me there is hope in southern rock . I am going to turn you on to a gem . Listen to a band called (BlackBerry Smoke) may I suggest an album called Little Piece of Dixie to begin with from start to finish will surely restore your faith , you can thank me later . Enjoy !

I was born in 1959. My father turned me on to this band as my mom and dance around our playing them, Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin and so many other greats. I really feel both lucky and privileged to have grown up with these bands. Today's youth is Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Cardi B and its just so sad!

[@hobo46]

you're right! we had really good bands in our time! Keep on rockin‘

[@mstewart109]

Chris Verich- I agree 100%. Born in 1958. I listen 98% still to music of 60-70s. Nothing compares to our era PERIOD. So much raw talent. no auto tu n e lip synch . Loop recording. Etc. We were so blessed weren't we ? I wasn't a huge Allman bros fan, but I knew Dickie Betts was sure top of the talent group. I'd put Terry Kath up there with him (rip) Chicago band guitarist
