I was thinking the same thing- and in Gainsville, with thousands of college kids screaming, the boys were relaxed and having a blast- I was there for the Florida relays in '80, and it was a fun place to be

[@11sophiemarie]

Their music is just as fresh today, as if it were brand new. That's was real talent and authentic style is, timeless.

[@Jnbea]

Just one of my favorite Allman tunes! R.I.P.

Mine too

[@rubyjones7441]

The best ever 😻😻

[@MarcusRefusius]

Rest in Peace Gregg...thanks for so much great music.

[@infledermaus]

Yeah, wow. Harsh fuckin' loss. I love the Allman Brothers' music. They are one of my two most favorite bands. The other being the Stones. Depending on my mood on any day they alternate between the nimber 1 and number 2 spots if my all time favorites. I was verrrrry unhappy the day the bad news came that he'd passed. To usurp Don McLean's lyrics from "American Pie," for me, it was like the day the music died and I'm not being dramatic. What a sad disappointment, and I'm just a fan. He was too young. Feel bad for his family.

Rest in peace one of the co-founder of the southern american rock. A real legend. Thanks for all the amazing music that you gave to us. I used to listen The Allman Brothers Band by my bro, and when i heard for first time, i was really impresed for the unique and passionate blues rock. Thanks for all. Rock in heaven.

Watching those double Leslie’s spinning behind Greg on the Hammond B3 reminds me of just how great he and the band were live. Dickey Betts R.I.P.

[@davids1632]

Best part was the part near the end. Great piano and keyboard and Betts was sliding down with the slide. Excellent vocals yeah yeah yeah yeah.

[@cynthiasullivan9556]

Gorgeous man gorgeous music!!!

[@RobertLane78]

Betts doesn't get his just due. He's always"The other guy" He plays slide great.

[@pauljordan4452]

He was called The King of the Guitar. A legend of a man and the most melodic guitarist I've heard.

[@DEADMANSGHOST]

As Duane said,,,"Eric Clapton aint got shit on Dickey Betts."

[@thesandman775]

He was good. The problem was that Duane was godly.

[@vincentberner5606]

Agreed he wrote much of what I consider the ABB's best music. Fantastic player

[@mikeb8871]

Duane even said that he was the “famous” one, but Betts was a better guitarist

[@luisacardet5907]

In the memories of Allman brothers, thank you for posting

Statesboro Blues and Jessica my 2 favorite ABB songs, and both played great at this 1982 concert. Dickey at his best and great solo by DD Toler on Statesboro. What a unique voice Greg had. RIP!

[@susanlayton6758]

[@80momknotts17]

I had a crush on him as a mother of 2 myself--and it lasted all these years. The ABB were my band.

[@shawnmollett8678]

BEST TAVERN DRINKING, CLOSING,FIGHTING, FUCKING SONG EVER RECORDED

[@sn7miller]

Dickie Betts said it was a big strain on him to have to play Duane's slide parts when Duane died. He was use to playing acoustic slide but not electric slide, but knew he'd have to do it for the group. He did and obviously excelled at it. Can only imagine what other things they'd have accomplished if Duane had lived to old age.

[@circlecloud11]

Dickie hated playing slide(according to him)...and he was so good! I think it must have made him feel funny with Duane's passing. But Dickie pretty much was a badass guitarist no matter what. I wish he and Gregg could have stayed together until the end. I've seen both many times and they've both never disappointed.

[@larrygeetar9309]

+circlecloud11 He was a decent slide player, not a really good one. It sounds like he didn't care much about playing slide, too. The weird thing is he was trying to be both himself AND Duane at this point and pissing everyone off by doing that. His slide playing was adequate for the sound of the band but did not take it anywhere special like Duane, Warren or Derek could. Gregg sounds really good here, though. He was still a strong singer even though he was probably very high at the time. In 1982 he was only 34 yrs old, still plenty of energy left. Dickey Betts was very disruptive in the band at this point and they had a lot of problems with him, as their history shows. Great player and song writer; a nasty drunk who beat up women, too. Not a real nice guy then.

[@circlecloud11]

Well Larry I suppose you make a valid point. But there is no question that he was a pretty important part of keeping and growing the Allman BB after Duane's passing. Maybe if he'd sobered up like the rest the story would be different....not that there was a single bad thing about the final lineup with Derek and Warren.

[@larrygeetar9309]

+circlecloud11 No questioning his contributions or the complexity of his playing and writing, especially of those wonderful instrumentals. And, to be fair, if he hadn't stepped in and grabbed the reins after the deaths of Duane and Berry everything would have fallen apart sooner. Gregg was not able nor did he want to be the leader. I know from first hand knowledge that at this point, they were in tatters. It certainly was not all because of Dickey Betts. It just happened that the personalities of all involved were fraying and this is what ensued. Dan Toler was a friend of mine and it's a shame most people never knew how great he was. I am an avowed ABB disciple, from an early age, too. It made me sad to see this and maybe that's why I get upset about it. Dickey did his best but rubbed them all the wrong way a few times in their history, as we both know. He's a cantankerous and pretty unapologetic guy.

[@circlecloud11]

I hear you. And I agree that Dan Toler was really a great addition when they needed a steady hand. A very overlooked player that contributed a lot. So cool that you actually knew him. I think he also worked with Dickie in Great Southern if I'm not mistaken. The ABB definitely has a bittersweet history but those songs we just such a part of my existence both as a young man and now. They are part and parcel of so many great personal memories. Cheers to you friend.

[@greggpappas3292]

Dickey held the band together after Duane’s death playing both guitar parts until Chuck joined the band. What pressure he must have felt but he just did it and deserves so much credit.
