Glad there’s people still regularly watching this. All time performance

And you did great! RIP❤

Was time for leaving, we understand

[@bertvosburg558]

At 66 years old I was 15 in 1973 and my 21 year old brother and I joined the carnival that summer and traveled with them for 6 weeks around Michigan. My Bro is gone now 10 years and so whenever this song comes on I have good memories of that summer

[@nealparks5768]

What Good Memories Thankyou For Your Short Story

[@dontbugme7362]

Graduation class of 76! At 16 we were driving up and down the coast all the way into Mexico to surf and up to the sierras to snow ski. This song reminds me of then, and Nobody Left to Run With reminds me of now!

[@glenbray8901]

Travelled over 2,500 miles in '73 to see/hear this band by bus as air/train strikes on! Air con on bus broke down while going through prairies during heat wave (people puking all over bus. Driver said push or kick out windows!! Concert line-up: James Cotton Blues Band, Boz Scaggs then the Allman Brothers! What a treat and night!! Ticket cost $5.00, evening forever priceless!!!!!!!!!!

[@EddieLowery1913]

When it’s time for leaving, I hope you’ll understand… Rock in Peace, Forrest Richard “Dickey” Betts.

DB probably played this song a thousand times by then but never lost enthusiasm for it. Always a great performance. At his worst is still better than most at their best. No one can play like him.

[@Alpine_Joe]

Yeah, no-one ... not even Duane (imho).

[@taylorpelletier89]

Z1000Jeff I think Duane had more soulful solos, but Dickey was the more rounded guitarist. He could play lead and lay down rhythm second to none in rock.

[@chuckydall9250]

[@taylorpelletier89]

@@chuckydall9250 of course. Dickey is the better rhythm player imo. Also, the more accomplished musician. He could write hits. Don't believe Duane had much prowess in that regard.

¡El maestro Dickey Betts acaba de partir a los 80 años, el 18 de diciembre del 2024 y su música quedará como legado y "Ramblin' man" que cantó y tocó un solo inolvidable de guitarra con los Allman Brothers fue el himno de mi adolescencia por su letra y melodía y aún sigue siendo una de las principales canciones de mi vida! ¡R.I.P genio de la seis cuerdas ¡

[@seano79]

A key line in this song emerged in 1969 when Dickey Betts was playing in various bands in Florida. He would often stay with a friend, Kenny Harwick, who had a habit of asking questions and then answering them. One day, he asked Betts how he was doing and then answered for him: "I bet you're just trying to make a living and doing the best you can."

[@robertm7071]

Absolutely sensational. Strange Mr Betts wasn’t generally mentioned when people argued over who were the top guitarists of the 60s and 70s. Listening to this, it’s hard to think of anyone better - on a par, but not better.

[@leahflower9924]

His voice is so soothing even when he talks

[@markhill9275]

Dickey is probably the most melodic guitarist ever, but i can give you a few better in my opinion,God (only God can create a Stairway), Paul Kossoff, Richie Blackmore, Jeff Beck, Clapton, Rory Gallagher, Angus + George Young. There's a few. But yes, Dickey is right up there high on the list, along with Duane, pretty much the only 2 Septics i rate.

My two favorite guitarists are Dickie Betts, and Scott Gorham. Everyone else to me personally, can get in line behind them.
