I was 112 days old when this was recorded, give or take the time of day. The Allman Brothers have brought me much joy over the years. Dickey played with unique phrasing, lingered on the flat seventh ... I am greatly pleased that you are honoring their skill sets and musical talents. Kudos.

VirtualWoodshed Dickey was better. And always had a great lp tone. Duane was king of an era that bridged blacks and whites. He was also the king of poor boys who just played music for his own enlightenment if he got paid or not. Not the fame and fortune. and that’s why he is one my favorite character ever. I grew up in Jax and all the guys from there have hugely influenced my playing.

Steve Taton I disagree. Duane wasn’t known for bullshitting or blowing smoke. People didn’t have to guess where they stood with Duane. I didn’t know him personally, but I’ve spoken with many who did, and I am 100% confident that he had the utmost respect for Dickey Betts. Listen to Duane’s playing prior to the ABB. He was an accomplished player, no doubt. But his playing soared to new heights in the Allman Brothers, due in no small part to being relentlessly pushed by Dickey Betts. Dickey brought a jazz influenced sophistication and depth that Duane’s playing lacked prior to the formation of the band. Dickey Betts was and is still an absolute monster. Cheers, 🍑🎶

Been playing guitar 54 years. Thank god two of my biggest influences early on, and till this day, were Duane and Dickey. Many many hours studying and learning their parts. Slide aside, they were different but like partially overlapping circles they met in the middle. I don't find much major pentatonic use in Duane's recordings prior to Dickey, but he excelled in it (Blue Sky). Each had their particular gifts. I humbly say I find Dickey's style easier to play than Duane's. And after all these years, I'm still chasing both.

Dickey is a force to be reckoned with. Not only did he step up after Duane and Berry died to literally save this great band, but he did so much more. Highway Call is still on my regular playlist, and the night I saw Great Southern over forty years ago he was blistering. But it was in 1991 that he and Warren Haynes and the late Allen Woody made The Allman Brothers whole again. It was the concert for Shades Of Two Worlds, and they took it to a level I didn't realize even existed. I admire few people as much as Dickey. It's nice to be here among like minded folks.

There is no question, that among us guitarists, that Dickey Betts is one of THE Greatest guitarists of ALL Time...I mean EVER. He has the rare , uncanny ability to fuse blues, country, jazz, rock, folk, old & contemporary western swing, and meld it into something uniquely his own sound, and turn on a dime. He's is , like Duane was too, an Incredible rhythm player...his solos are so melodic and flowing....I have been listening closely to he and Duane since 1970..and to this day their play together as a duo is unmatched by anyone. They are a Master Class in how Dual Guitarists in a Band can and should work together , how to play together, off each other , call & response, and not step on another's toes...Dickey was the Perfect foil for Duane, and vice a versa. I am still blown away by Dickey's composition of Elizabeth Reed, Jessica, Les Bres in A minor, and his solo work on Stormy Monday, You Don't Love Me, One Way Out plus his dobro work on Pony Boy...Dickey is REALLY, REALLY SPECIAL !

Unfortunately, the INDIVIDUAL talents of the Allman Brothers Band, simply just wasn't comparable to the band as an ensemble! I absolutely LOVE Dickey Betts too! Betts is def one of my top 10 or even top 5 favorite guitar players of all time! Unfortunately, in losing Duane, the band lost a core part of their sound and soul! Dickey is a true legend but half the magic of the Allman Brothers Band was contrast between Dickey's picture-perfect, squeaky clean, and jazzy style and Duane Allman's dirty, unpredictable, soulful style! Now, this isn't to say that Duane was THE reason for the Incredible music the band played together! Quite the opposite! If Dickey Betts had died that day in a motorcycle accident, we would be having the SAME conversation about him! The fact that the five members of the band were in the same part of the world, at the same time, met, and came together as a band is a goddamn MIRACLE! Losing any SINGLE member of the band would have been detrimental!

Dickey has a way of changing tempo effortlessly, like bending the colors of a rainbow, and bringing it right back into rythym. One of a kind.

Well said, Bill. “Better”, when it comes to art is just a giant slippery slope, IMO. It’s like arguing over ice cream flavors, what’s best is what tastes good to the lucky eater. When I read a comment that this player is better than the other, I just translate that into a matter of taste - it’s totally subjective and there is no right or wrong in that. Yes, those who have a knowledge of music can argue from a technical standpoint, but who really cares? Technically, Pavarotti was a great singer, but I prefer to listen to Bob Dylan. The music Duane and Dickey created was a wonderful gift - almost 50 years later and it’s still powerful, compelling and moving.

I agree completely. I got to see the original lineup just once at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. It was kind of bizarre as Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard were on the bill . Jerry Lee Lewis was supposed to open but did not arrive on time . Little Richard refused to go on first so the Allman Brothers did. Then Little Richard interrupted them twice saying stuff about the promoter . After the second time he got escorted off stage and as was later reported a police escort out of town. Inspite of all the nonsense the Brothers played fabulous and Duane and Dickey played like four hands and one heart . Phenomenal ! When they were done Jerry Lee Lewis showed up . It wasn’t going well then Dickey came out and joined in and saved the night for JLL . Weird night but great memories. Lifetime Allman Brothers Band fan 🙏👌😊☮️

I was in the house for one of their last shows at the Beacon when they retired. The sad part about the retirement shows is that Dickey wasn’t there, rumors were he was invited, but that’s just rumor. The passing of Dickey hit me harder than when Greg passed, I don’t know why. Dickey was ten years older than me, his passing has me thinking about my own mortality. RIP Dickey, you were one of the best to ever strap on a six string.

Just listen to the three versions of Whipping Post from the complete Fillmore set. Dickey pulls out something completely different each night. The Indian flavored interlude with harmonics is my favorite Betts solo of all time. I think it is the second version.

zummo61 the complete Fillmore recording is 6 hours of amazing music, but the thing that struck me was that Dickey’s best stuff didn’t even make the original Fillmore album. I was ecstatic about getting to hear more stuff from Duane and after listen to the complete Fillmore recording I left with a greater appreciation of Dickey and just how damn good he was.

HI everyone. the comments here are fantastic. I will be 60 years old in about 18 months. have been listening to the Allman Brothers since i was 12 years old. Yes I do agree that this variation on a theme by Dickey Betts is his greatest guitar playing of all time. This solo has the same motifs he uses in the released "You Don't Love me" from Allmans at Fillmore east. the ideas are the same, but varied. Fantastically good. My favorite lick of his in the whole bunch , in this particular clip is at 4:45 - 4:55, you all should recognize it, same lick as at 13:50-13:58 of "You dont love me". Extreme dexterity by Dickey. I have been a guitarist also since I was 12 years old and have been trying to figure that lick out. Finally in 2018 after 50 years of trying, I figured it out. I would be glad to show it to anyone who might be interested (via a Zoom meeting).

The Allman Bros sure had a talent for finding amazing guitar players, starting with Duane and Dickie. I saw them when it was Dickie and Jack Pearson on guitars, and both of them were incredible. They were playing Strats, and when they came out with their Fenders, I was really disappointed... until they started playing. It was at Red Rocks in Colorado, and they lit that place up! And Dickie sounded just like Dickie even playing a Strat. Jack made me a true fan, and I've seen him several times in Nashville now. Through the ABB, I was also led to Gov't Mule (who I also saw at Red Rocks). A couple of months ago, I saw Blackberry Smoke and Allman Betts Band at Red Rocks. Both bands obviously very influenced by the Allman Brothers. Amazing legacy of inspired music.

My two cents. Playing since 1974. Dickey used more real estate on his neck sonically, especially up and down. Duane nailed everything and then some more with less real estate/neck. Dickey's solos we're always more melodic. He was a composer/writer/lyrical too. Duane's solos just raged with more inventive 'free fire' creative improvisational energy. Duane more Blues and Jazz, maybe. Dickey with some more country and bluegrass finesse. They both made each other better, REALLY BETTER ! Two drummers and lots of triple meter solo sections helped tremendously. This is a Greatful Dead trick too. Triple meter solo sections. In fact, as much as I read, Dickey complained about 32 bar Jazz rock solos, BUT he ended up writing most if not all of the monster Fusion master pieces ! They pushed each others buttons perfectly. I'm sure they would both agree on that.

He wrote Jessica as a tribute to Django. When Django is one you've studied you know you're going to be a really "musical" player and that's what Dickey is. His solos are incredibly melodic and I always know it's Dickey because when I hear his solos I can instantly hum them note for note. They're not just "notes" but they are actual melodies. SO many solos are just "notes" played in a sequence but Dickey's solos have incredible dynamics and tons of musicality to them.

Anyone who plays guitar knows how good these solos are, and how challenging they are to master. These guys were in their 20's and set a benchmark that is unsurpassed today. What upsets me - is while Duane was unmatched, It was Dickey who kept that band together - and it was Dickeys guitar work on Brothers and Sisters that made them millions. Not having Dickey at the closing night of the Beacon was disrespectful to his legacy, and his absence bothers me to this day. Long live Dickey Betts .....and thank God this stuff was captured on audio.

Back in 77' the Southern Blues Band walked into. Rosita's Cantina in Atlanta Georgia. The place e as empty except for me and my bud jerry. Betts asked the battender(ROSITA), "where's all the biz?" The place was huge you see. Betts told her to call all the radio stations and to tell the DJ's that the BAND would be there that SATURDAY NIGHT! The place filled up and Rosita's made a nice turn financially. BETTS gave Rosita's all the COVER-CHARGE, which e as $10. bucks a head(lots of people). Then he did it again on SUNDAY. DICKY BETTS IS A VERY GENEROUS MAN!! I was there, saw the greatest show ever, I was 4feet away and didn't even go pee cause I would have lost my place. FANTASTIC!!

It's interesting how this solo is nearly identical in numerous places to the one on the "Live at Fillmore East" album, but he also veers off into new territory, then back into familiar, then off into new etc. It's a blend of sheer creativity with already accepted/learned riffs which he knew ears loved. A perfect example is the fast riff at 4:45, identical (almost) to the original live tape. That is the process. It's very rare to find someone who doesn't fall back on well known phrases and riffs. John Scofield comes to mind. But this solo of DB's is still kicking and I would venture to say, hugely influential.
