Never met Dickie Betts, but I have met Butch Trucks. When I lived in Atlanta a good friend and great guitarist/musician, Barry Richman was playing at a small venue downtown near the Buckhead area. Barry knows all the " famous " musicians, or you could say they know Barry. The Allman Brothers were playing in Atlanta that night, but got rained out. So they came to hear and jam with Barry! Barry called me to tell me that they were on their way so I took my youngest son Seth with me. All the Brothers were there except Dickie, Gregg, Butch, new members Warren Hayes, Woody Allen. Barry and I were talking when they walked in and Warren and Woody said hello to me. Gregg was sitting with a young lady at a table. I knew Gregg from before so I went to talk with him and introduce him to my son. He looked a like down and I asked him if he was ok. He told me that he had a headache and would probably leave soon. I brought my old vinyl with me, Live At The Fillmore East. I asked him if he was up to signing it for me, and of course he did. He was always a nice guy and loved his fans. Later my son and I went outside with Butch and their road manager and spoke for over an hour. I got Butch to sign the album also. Still have it of course! Butch was really taken by my son Seth, because Seth was an up and coming drummer himself and Butch's son was named Seth, who was his drum tech on the tour. ( Seth is the little boy on the album cover of Brothers and Sisters. The little girl is Dickie's daughter if I remember correctly. Sorry for the long story, but thought you folks might like to hear it.

12/31/71, a Warehouse, New Orleans. Brothers came on, probably about 10:30, maybe 11:00, same story as Butchie related about the night before the closing of the Fillmore. After the last note of Mountain Jam, there was respectable applause, but no more calls for encores. We headed for the doors smiling, to find the sun shining on our faces. One of my friends said, "Goddamn, I never knew Dickey could play the guitar that good!". And he had seen them several times already...shows how vibrant Duane had been, I think. I was barely 17 at the time. Most memorable night of my life.

Back in 1969-1971, I had seen The Allman Brothers with Duane numerous times throughout North Carolina and Virginia at various gigs...even in some high school gyms. I was in a band that did many of their tunes and we all travelled to wherever they were gigging. The vibe they created was extraordinary...unlike any other music I had played or witnessed. I was fortunate to have played on the same bill with them in May of 1971 at the University of North Carolina while drumming with Chuck Berry then. For me , there was nothing better than the spirit that they brought with their music. I was also able to see them after Duane's tragic death when they played in Boston during the winter there. I thought to myself..."how could they possibly do this without Duane" but somehow they managed to get through the music. It wasn't easy to see them at that time. I actually had to leave because it was so emotional for me to be witnessing at the time. A huge part of their heart and soul was gone....yet they carried on despite. I could only imagine how it must have been for them. the rest is history. I can say that, for me, there is no better musical experience than with the brothers. Their music has impacted my own creative soul in many, many ways and I thank God for having been able to feel their music as closely as I have.

I hitchiked to Chapel Hill from Wilmington for that weekend of great music. You guys did a great job backing up Chuck Berry. I remember a very good bit of great lineup of bands I know Spirit played that night. Saturday was special because we saw J Geils Band then Muddy Waters that evening Alex Taylor played and Duane sat in with his band. Then the Allman Brothers Band played a great set, my first introduction to their music. And Sunday afternoon Tom Rush played. That was the first weekend of May 1971. The friend I hitchiked up there with had sort of prepared me for how good The Allman Brothers were live but hearing Duane and Dickie doing that twin lead sound and Duanes slide playing just totally blew me away. Great memories of one of my favorite weekends of music ever bar none. I was a Duane Allman fan for life after that.

In my opinion, the Allman brothers just had some thing that other bands don’t have it was very unique they didn’t sound like Eric Clapton or Led Zeppelin. They were somewhere in between and they had their own style which made it more appealing to people especially in New York… go figure… a bunch of guys from Macon Georgia. Touched the nerve in New York and New York. Love them name another band that was able to do that.?….. something about the Allman Brothers was always special. It really was.

I was in a garage band in the mid 60's in Jax,Fla., across the street was another band, 31st of Feb.,David Brown, Butch Trucks. We were a horn band doing Tijuana Brass stuff. Butch and I were in same high school band a few years apart.

There was so much amazing music coming out of Jax in the late 60's thru the early 80's. I will forever be grateful to have been a teenager, living on the Westside during that time.

An interesting interview, thanks for posting it. Occasionally I'll think that this or that musician should never have consented to an interview. That's not the case here. Butch is very well spoken and while Dickie seems to hold back a little, when he gets started he gets his point across very well. I'm sure most of us wish this was longer. I also wish we could have heard more about Butch and Dickie. They were an awfully big part of one of the greatest rock bands.

Mitch Gawlik Great bands like the Allmans are made of great musicians not assholes. To get that good at anything you have to be somewhat humble.

The very gifted guitar players can play a slow song with a melody that set them aside of anybody else. Cause slowly played guitar solo's are way more difficult....the songs that seems to come straight from their hearts. Played with a lot of melody in it ,

Of course to continue on would have been what Duane would have wanted. He was all about music, it was his life and that's why he was such an exceptional player. The Bros, you did alright! More than alright, you did yourself proud!🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
