FIRST TIME HEARING | The Allman Brothers Band - One Way Out

[@danallshaw1131]

Dickey, thank you for all your great music. You'll be missed, brother.

[@markroberts8864]

No other band like them! Two drummers, and two lead guitarists... greatest jam band ever!

[@lesblatnyak5947]

True . The Dead could lay it down too. ✨️🎶✨️

[@marilynkrupa-burns3104]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the only original member left is Jaimoe, one of the founding members and drummers.

[@matthewoconnor5838]

Greatest live band ever.RIP Dickey,you were a master.❤

[@dianedavies8291]

RIP Dickie Betts. 💔

[@Gordy63]

Duane Allman - one of the all time best slide guitarists and I believe he died at 23 years old. RIP Duane Allman, Greg Allman and Dicky Betts!

[@markroberts8864]

Always the best way to listen to The Allman Brothers, live....!

[@827dusty]

He's playing what's called "Slide guitar. It's where you slide a piece of curved metal or glass around one finger, and you get that distinct sound. Duane Allman was a master at it.

[@kenjohnston1257]

Yep what they used to call bottleneck. Break off a beer bottle, slip it on your finger and instant blues

[@827dusty]

Best Blues Band ever. Thank you, Dickie Bettes. We will miss you. Now you and Duane are together again Jamming for God in Heaven. God Bless

[@bigkw1568]

Young Fella, you were just listening to the most popular album of all time .. Please continue on with your journey.. RIP Dickey..Gone but never forgotten

[@babylonsister118]

Allman Bro. produced some of the best guitarists out there, Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, who is now the lead vocalist and guitarist for Gov't Mule, and my personal fav, Derek Trucks who now plays with his wife, who is crazy talented as a vocalist and guitarist, also, Susan Tedeschi, AKA Tedeschi Trucks Band! You might want to check out BOTH of these bands, as well!

[@alpetrocelli4465]

Dickey was one of the best, and there was no better duo than Duane & Dickey. Safe travels. ✌️❤️🎶

RIP Dickey may your skies always be blue 🙏💕

[@charlessarver8350]

Greg Alman used a Corociden medicine bottle as a slide. Slide orginated long before. Old blues players use to lay their guitars flat across their lap and use a folded pocket knife to get the slide effect.

[@myownchannel247]

RIP Dickey Betts ✨🎸 this world is a much better place with your music in it

[@stuBdoc]

Slide acoustic or electric guitar (also called bottleneck, which is what the slide used to be made of) was started in the 20's or 30's by the Delta blues players but was really popularized in the late '60's but any number of performers, including George Harrison, Duane Allman, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Walsh, Jimmy Page, and many others. Duane was considered the real virtuoso, and was tapped by Eric Clapton to play slide for Derek and the Dominoes.

[@debjorgo]

Guitarist Dickey Betts passed away today.

[@GoldTop57]

Dickey’s lead tone here is the ultimate. Just incredible

[@dalejohnson4256]

Southern R&B, baby. DAMN, indeed!

[@Mycroftsbrother]

Slide is an old blues technique from way back. Hawaiian music also heavily uses slide. Someone told me long ago that the origin of slide was an attempt to make a guitar sound like a voice singing. Don't know if that's true, but it makes sense. Duane did use his fingers to pick as did many of the blues guitarists back in the day. Johnny Winter picked with his fingers, so did Freddie King.

[@4yules]

rip the legend dickey betts "revival" "blue sky" "in memory of elizabeth reed" sooo many allman brothers A+ music

[@johnlynch9032]

Funny to watch a first timer explain their way around their first view of the Allman Brothers. First, this is a video of 3 different concerts and only one is of the actual song. Duane’s slide footage is from Love Valley 1970 “Mountain Jam” song. The other two are from ‘70 and post Duane concerts. Probably ’73. BTW that’s a glass Coriceden bottle for slide guitar that came from cold medicine over the counter stuff.

[@raycewilliams3300]

Near the beginning of the twentieth century, blues musicians in the Mississippi Delta popularized the bottleneck slide guitar style, and the first recording of slide guitar was by Sylvester Weaver in 1923. That is of course Duane Allman on slide guitar. Certainly one of the best in this era.... if not THE BEST.

[@joemoe765]

All as in the word all, not Al as the name Al. Allman Brothers! RIP Dickey Betts Blue Sky tribute for Dickey Betts who passed today

[@billspencer9430]

The music is from Eat a Peach. The video is assembled from various concerts. Maybe the 1970 Fillmore concert and the Love Valley show. Duane and Dickey both have at least two shirts.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

Just as exciting as the day it was recorded...check out the Tedeschi Trucks Band which has two drummers...Derek Trucks played in the Allman Brothers Band for years...

[@stephenkittle6586]

SAW THEM 3 TIMES RIP DICKEY !! 🐐🔥🎸😍😢😢

[@redruffansore964]

RIP Dickey..

[@827dusty]

Keyboard and vocals are Greg Allman, and the other blonde guy playing the guitar, is his brother Duane, who died in 1972 or 73. Dickie Bettes and Duane Allman were two of the best guitarists around. They invited Eric Clapton to come down to their place in Georgia and jam with them for a week. After that, Eric and Duane played on each other's albums. Duane was killed while riding his Harley down a quiet country road, when he was hit and killed by a truck carrying a load of peaches. The name of the next album was called "Eat a Peach," in his honor.

[@jmcc199]

This is from Chuck Wertz as told by his widow and is absolutely 100% authentic. He was driving the truck that Duane swerved to avoid hitting. But there are a lot of misconceptions about his death. First, it was a crane/boom truck Chuck was driving. It was not a peach truck, as legend has it. As best as I have heard from folks who were close to the situation, Duane was perhaps traveling a little over the posted speed limit. The truck was coming in the opposite direction and made a left turn, several hundered feet before Duane was on top of him. The truck had to slow down due to a large pothole in the street he was turning onto. Duane went around the truck to the left. He either went slightly airborn due to a hump in the road and lost control, or he may have made contact with a hydrant on the corner of the intersection of the two streets he was going through. Either way, he lost control, and he and the bike began tumbling. The bike went airborn and landed on top of him, causing multiple internal injuries. He had no apparent external wounds to his head or body. He was alive when taken to the hospital and died on the operating table after three hours of unsuccessful emergency surgery. The doctor who attempted to save his life has said he had at least three severe internal injuries, and any one of them could have proved fatal on it's own. Keep in mind Duane was of a slight build. He was around 5'9" and may have weighed 125 pounds soaking wet. Chuck Wertz was cleared of any wrongdoing in the wreck. It was a horrible set of circumstances that happened all at once, Chuck having to slow during the turn, and Duane exceding the speed limit. The whole Eat A Peach thing was taken from an interview Duane did once. The interviewer asked Duane what he was doing for the "revolution." (Keep in mind this was during the Viet Nam war and there was the whole anti-war and counter culture movement going strong at the time.) Duane resonded, "Man! There's no revolution! Only evolution! Every time I'm in Georgia, I eat a peach for peace!" So, the album title, Eat A Peach, has nothing to do with the circumstances of Duane's death, but everything to do with Duane and how he lived his life.

[@KennyRansom-l5k]

RIP Dickey Betts Dec 12 1943 - April 18 2024 😞

[@WavesRay]

Rare brilliance.

[@Unclesmokey314]

that's a coricidin bottle.... used as a slide. After Duanes death Greg kept it until his passing...

[@stuBdoc]

You've probably seen a few other electric guitarists who finger-pick instead of using a pick - Mark Knopfler, Lindsay Buckingham are the 2 that come to mind.

[@rebeccamcvey8600]

Toy Caldwell, Marshall Tucker Band.

[@dianegardner7210]

And I did dance to it -was lucky enough to see them with the Dead-danced my little feet off

[@Brandi6666]

They are all gone as of today. It was a most fantastical ride🤘😢

[@johns.]

Jaimoe is still with us. RIP Dickey.

[@charlessarver8350]

Some guitarist use their fingers, some picks, some do both seperately and a lot do both at the same time espcially country players. A lot of slide players use their fingers. I'm pretty sure they do it to help mute strings that they don't want to ring out.

[@tresianyfb5865]

Ole boy has a slide hence no pic used. N 2 drummer deal I believe is percussion n msin drum line

[@charliecochran3035]

You should check out In Memory of Elizabeth Reid from the same live show. Actually anything by them that says Live At Fillmore East beside it is something you want to hear. They are one of the best live acts in rock history and that was them at their peak.

[@mikes2082]

Thanks for the DB tribute Ace. Pre-EVH plucking or fretboard tapping

[@waynemoon5359]

Duane Allmän legendary slide player. And Dicky Betts. Gregg Allan once said "That Clapton fella is pretty good. But he ain't no Dicky Betts"

[@mr.knowitall6440]

Mark Knopfler is a great guitar player who uses just his fingers. 🤙😎

[@redzone77p]

Duane is playing slide guitar with a metal cylinder on his finger, Derek Trucks a nephew of Butch Trucks the drummer is a great slide player.

[@dwanpyrtle3134]

It's glass

[@redzone77p]

@@dwanpyrtle3134 Either or, some use glass, some use metal, in the old days they used a bottle.

[@dwanpyrtle3134]

Duane used a labeless cold remedy pill bottle made of GLASS. Look it up.

[@Prone2Thrill]

It's a "Slide" Ace - they can be glass or brass etc. Even bottles are used, especially for lap slide. Classified as Blues Boogie perhaps? #liveatfilmoreeast

[@ericschneider118]

R.I.P Dickey!!!!

[@davidteller7681]

Duane fingerpicked slide because with the slide on the other hand it was the only way to maintain touch on the strings

[@dwanpyrtle3134]

And he was naturally left-handed!

[@dadmateryn8092]

slides can be metal or glass

[@ronaldtucker1262]

The band name is pronounced "All-Man, not Al-Man".

[@jflatty5389]

"all" man brothers- just giving you heads up so you don't say allen brothers on any future reaction- haha nvmd you said it right second time

[@rebeccamcvey8600]

Need to do some research. About half your information is wrong.

[@cmzeman]

Dwayne Allman generally didn't use a pick for lead playing. The glass on his finger was a Coricidin bottle.

[@busher69]

That deal on his finger is a "finger slide" allows sliding on strings similar to a slide or pedal slide guitar. If you wanna see a guy light the strings up with a slide, find and watch Sonny Landreth - God Almighty, that guy rocks

[@lisar.6670]

Perhaps ... but will the songs you find 'pretty good' today .. still be around, listened to and enjoyed 50+ years from now?
