My father has always said, The Allman Brothers were the best band from the States. They created a music many tried to duplicate, and couldn't to the extent that this group of 6 musicians played together so well, and felt where each one was going, it was purely magic.

I'm 67, and the first time I saw them live was just after Duane passed. Bassist Berry Oakley was still with them, but was also killed later that year. I turned 15 at 12:00. They put on a show for the ages, as if they had something to prove. Like "We're still here. We ain't going anywhere!"..This here is my favorite track by them..A masterpiece!..Chris, sorry man, but I just fell in love with your wife, because I never knew another woman who really appreciated this piece like she did! Smile getting bigger, as the song went on..She's keeper!..First time sub..Loved the reaction to my all time favorite song.

Duane Allman and Dickey were the best combo lead guitarists ever. Love that band. RIP Dickey.

[@rameshnyberg2257]

100% correct!

[@alwaysfourfun1671]

Still beautiful after all those years! RIP Dickey Betts.

The Allmans were one of my favourites. I was fortunate to have seen them many times at the Beacon Theatre in NYC, but it was the recent lineup without Dickey. I saw Dickey play with them once in the 80s when I was in my late 20's. am 65 and was 13 when Duane Allman died. I bought two of their records, Live at the Filmore and Eat a Peach, at first and then most of the rest. Dickey wrote some great tunes beside this one. Blue Sky might be my favourite Betts song. Very sad day. RIP Dickey.

[@rameshnyberg2257]

I'm glad you mentioned bassist Berry Oakley- perhaps the most overlooked rock bassists ever. He was a wizard, and the members of ABB worked perfectly together.

[@bert0522]

My go to song, a mixture of rock, blues, jazz & a bit of soul. Not damn thing wrong with it. RIP Dickey, thank you. Jim

When I first heard this song in '72 within 10 seconds it became my favorite song. 52 years later it never lost that status.

[@steveforman7643]

Musical perfection! Glad you mentioned Berry Oakley. So many people don’t. One of the best bass players ever. I actually attended Berry’s final performance with the ABB at my college on Nov 2, 1972. Nine days later he was killed in the accident.

[@beare55]

Dickey Betts is the first guitar solo, Duane Allman is the second, the original six were on another planet

[@SPKdesign1]

What a great sound these guys had.

[@GratefulZen]

Perfect choice to honor Betts! Keep rocking, guys!

[@user-bh5jv8hi3b]

And they were all only in their 20's when this was recorded . To be that accomplished at such a young age 😲!!

[@keithwatkins7908]

Excellent tribute, thank you for the video.

[@Blownbob]

I love the reaction of the girl. She got it.

[@simonlitten]

When I was a mere lad at high school, no one breathed a word about the Allman Brothers and then I heard Jessica. I was intrigued. A few years later a blues cover band had a regular gig at the varsity I attended and played a few AB tracks. I became a fan. This tune was possibly one of those covers. A brilliant band with more than its share of tragedies. Thank you.

[@helmutkurtneumnn2026]

Glad you picked that 12:57 one instead of ... One more down the drain ❤️‍🔥⚧️☮️🌹 Dance music for shure

[@ghichens3418]

Yep , Proper enjoyed that ! shame that old man time will catch up with all of us one day !

[@gabgarcia5446]

One of the finest live recordings of one of the best bands of modern times. Treasure your vinly copy if you have one....family heirloom.

[@jlb6]

Dickey had an incredible feel for melodies. Duane Allman was one of a kind, his solo after the organ solo.

[@jlb6]

Skydog was Duane’s nickname

[@johnimhof6568]

Story goes that Betts wrote in the same cemetery where Duane, Barry and Gregg are now buried. He didn't have a title, bur, to his right was a stone ...In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.

[@davidellis5141]

Dickey & the late Tom Verlaine are the two guitarists cited by Nels Cline ( Wilco ) as his major influences. Nels is generally regarded as the best contemporary guitar player in the biz these days. Check Impossible Germany especially live for proof.

[@colrhodes377]

Never heard of him.

[@davidellis5141]

@colrhodes377 Click on Impossible Germany by Wilco & watch / listen to the KCRW version of the song. It's brilliant guitar 🎸 by Nels

I’ve heard the name , don’t know any of their music though , as it’s an RIP request I’ll be kind and just say , this ain’t my genre in any way , and leave it at that 🤷‍♂️ 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

If you've heard the theme to Top Gear you've heard The Allman Brothers. Otherwise, probably not.

I was aware of The Allman Brothers but never really listened to them. I have no idea why, but I had zero interest.
