not to take away from dickey's songwriting capabilities, or even his very recognizable playing, but im pretty sure duane was being damn modest when he said that. just listen to the two together. dickey's playing sounds rushed and off-beat at times, not to mention that his bends are always flat. Duane's playing was just another level of smoothness and tone im not sure anyone else except maybe derek has touched. They complimented each other very well though.
@mikewhitfield29946 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I don't disagree that Duane was the better player. I think his point was that Dickey didn't get enough credit for his talent. After Duane's untimely death, Betts carried the Allman Brothers' lead guitar duties solo for years. Although, again, I don't think anyone would argue that the Allman Brothers with one lead guitarist could hold a candle to the Allman Brothers with Dickey and Duane together. They were good, very good; they were no longer magical.

Whithout Dickey there would have been no ABB after Duane died. I followed him to many shows after 2000. On the plus side I got to be closer to my favorite guitarist.

Met Dickie just after leaving ABB. Told him that Highway Call is one of my favorite albums of all time. He really appreciated my love of his relatively unknown labor of love. So, we talked for a long time about the guitar. If you approach famous players and tell them you are a guitarist , and how much they influence your playing, they talk to you in a totally different level than if you just tell them you're a big fan.

"Highway Call" here's a few little trivia's about that one: I am a harmonica player, 48 years and was full-time pro by age 20. Saw the full ABB with Duane in 1971 Sarasota Florida where I grew up. Tom Doucette The harp player on Fillmore lived there, played around town in local clubs. I started out in bluegrass bands and festivals in Florida. The band that you see pictured on the back of highway call "The Poindexters" was a local family band, basically bluegrass but they had drums so that kept them out of the traditional circuit. I played with them for a show that was live broadcast on the radio and also up in Bradenton at a place I believe called the Red Barn in 1976, We opened there for Doc & Merle Watson. Dickie's mom lived in Bradenton, he has a place out east of Sarasota and one part of my family has a huge ranch out there, they are friends with him. If I would have met them just a year earlier I might have been on that album, darn. Also if anyone knows who Chris Anderson is who played with the band called The outlaws, We were friends in high school and they had a band called Southern Express with double drummers dual guitars and so forth and could really play the Allman Brothers material to a T. I believe Chris did some playing in later years with the Allman Brothers, I used to play with them as a guest harmonica that rounded out all of their other instrumentation that matched the Allman Brothers. Good to see some folks chiming in that know the highway call album. Leon Poindexter was the eldest brother and the band leader, he passed away but I just spoke by chat with one of his brothers this last year.

This one hits especially hard. Dickey showed everyone how two guitars playing extended melodic lines could create beauty, passion, and with more than a streak of blues. Even Les Paul was taken with Dickey's musicality and technique. A one of a kind guitarist. Dickey outdid almost everyone with his expressive, melancholic musicality. With his aways impressive improvisational style, he was more than a master of the instrument. For my generation, he wasn't a guitar god, together with Duane, they were God. Jam on Mr. Betts and thank you, a true Allman brother to the end. Time for shots and listening to Live at Fillmore East!

When they recorded the famous magnificent Fillmore album, which included two takes of Liz Reed, they had one (or maybe two? I forget) horn players onstage. They got edited out in the final release, fortunately -- really not up to par. (Evidently Duane was pretty open to jamming with anybody, esp if they were horn players or one of his drug suppliers, and this fellow was supposedly both)

@@jsbrules You are referring to the late Rudolph 'Juicy' Carter, as named in the Fillmore liner notes. Duane always liked and wanted the horns.

(#9 chords), who really brought extended chords to Rock. Betts took it even further with the use of passing chords and linear melody in songs like Stormy Monday where his jazz influence help define the new genera of Southern Rock. Wow...this performance!

It is a shame that everybody seems to want to make these Les Paul and whoever shows at the Iridium into some kind of competition about who is best... Les clearly understood and he said it , "Different kinds of music", and, "everybody has something to say". He was talking about musical perspective and the ability to connect with an audience and with other players. Dickie has the ability to connect with both and is also absolutely identifiable as a unique voice. Technical prowess is great but not at the loss of artistry. Regardless of who has more. every one of these performances showcases artists who have it all in abundance. To Chris Lentz: Thank you for the AMAZING experience of seeing Les interact with these other great artists.

What of the disarming humility he displays in letting LP off the hook and not forcing him to play his masterpiece, Liz Reed? You,d better believe that the tentative other guitarist was grateful for Dickie's coaxing him through this tune, which is difficult enough to play even if you're not ad-libbing. He ended this short, unrehearsed session by praising that guy, even appreciatively dubbing him Django Reinhardt for his courageous effort. I know, Dickey labors under the reputation of being a nasty drunk (no doubt well earned at times), but many who know him and the Betts family well also talk about their mostly soft-spoken, earnest, humble manners -- not an unheard of contradiction. Last, catch his self-deprecating joke with LP at the outset about which one of them is sober, aimed at breaking the ice with his idol. I guess reality lies in the eyes of the enlightened beholder, right?

@@MichaelCrutcher That wasn't stepping on his toes, it was him getting the guy to trade licks with him after he was ready to pass the solo back to Dickie. An opportunity of a lifetime. They were both total pros and totally enjoying it.

Dickey wants Les to join in but he won't but he sure pays close attention to Dickey as they go through only the basics of the song without all instruments he's used to doing this with & he still takes us through that journey we always get when Liz comes to play. I can't even begin to think what would be going on if Duane were alive & there . WOW !!!!!! So nice to see Betts smile like he is.

People that say southern rock is just heavier country doesn’t know what they’re talking about. If anything Southern Rock is more Jazz and soul based than country. Allman Brothers- Liz Reed, Hot Lanta, Les Brers and so many more. Charlie Daniels Band- No Place Left To Go, Birmingham Blues, etc. Marshall Tucker- Southern Woman. 100% jazz. People need to educate themselves.
