THIS Band Lasted 30 Months...They MADE Guitar HISTORY

[@StephenLewisful]

Nothin to add about the Allman's, I'm just here, feeling like I'm having a cup of coffee, talking shop and jamming with a good buddy. I don't have dollar one to throw towards any of these programs and I feel bad about that but I hope my genuine gratitude for what you provide a lot of us, comes through anyway. Thank You, Tim Pierce.

Perfect man I agree

October 15 , 1971 . Pittsburgh , Pa. The Syria Mosque . The Allman Brothers Band . Two Bucks . The best two bucks I ever spent .

[@blueshawk5649]

Their version of "Stormy Monday" on the live album, is perhaps the ABB song I have played the most times since I purchased "At Fillmore East" in 71. I never get tired of every little nuance of their leads and fills. For me, it's amazing. Dickey's lead is so well structured and Duane's is unbelievable in how he pushes notes to reach what he must have heard in his head. At that time, I had never heard anyone play like that. Still amazing to this day.

[@markjjnstradling]

Totally agree with you. Over the years it has been a 'go to' song to listen to and on most of my platlists. Such a timeless song and the best versions are ABB and perhaps Eric Clapton seeing as he was a big fan of ABB.

[@shader26]

Same here. In fact when I test or set a pedal for edge of breakup I tend to use that second solo at the beginning, where he plays softly then digs in. So amazing. Also took me years to realize one thing I loved on that was the amp sag. Those guitars, both of them, at times sound like harmonicas heavily blown…the initial sound and the bloom after. I actually bought Fillmore in a whim, at that point not having heard of them, it was an album in the blues section at a record store and I loved the cover and bought it. Now up to this point (I think I was around 14) I was much into blues, mainly BB King and Freddie King, John Lee Hooker, etc. and on first listen I was so disappointed 🙂, like “this isn’t blues!”. It took several listens (which I find incredible now) for me to get into it, stop expecting the smooth, or concise blues I was used to, and go along for the ride. By the time I was 15 there wasn’t a party I went to where this wasn’t being played…if I double negatived that, I mean every party I went to was playing this, and for some years. Wishbone Ash too. Loved double guitars, and long interesting solos.

[@Bart-5150]

Dickey Betts is an amazing guitarist. He does not get enough credit. He is a beast.

[@tomcooley3778]

Dickey plays his guitar like he’s making love to it. Duane at times would play like he’s mad at it .

[@rgortega1285]

Dick used lead patterns over chords by who? Lead patterns were already used by pre musicians, but Dicky capitalized on these lead variations! He also only as far as I can see used Gibson Les Paul series axes.

[@keef7224]

Saw The Dickey Betts Band at a small club called Hunt’s in Burlington, VT in 1986. Still one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. 3+ hours of absolutely spellbinding guitar ferocity! 🎸💥

[@johngoodman9380]

You led off with my favorite song on my favorite album. The Allman Brothers Band deserves all of the credit heaped upon them and more. I hope future generations take time to listen to all of their music.

[@8CountAudio]

Dickey’s tone in One Way Out is hard to beat. Thanks for celebrating this era of the Allmans!

[@boblackey1]

​@@steveataylor3699It was recorded live in June 1971 and Dickey Betts was playing a Les Paul by then. A Gold Top. And Dickey has a fantastic tone on One Way Out and Duane's slide was real fine too. Dickey was playing a Gibson ES-335 when the ABB formed. Then he switched to a Fender Strat but by summer 1970 Dickey went to a SG. After he decided to switch to a Les Paul he didn't like the first few and finally settled on one that was a Good Top but was painted red around the edges and it's on Fillmore East. Dickey gave Duane his SG to use on slide so Duane wouldn't have to retune his Les Paul. But by the time they got to June of 71 Dickey had changed again to another Gold Top. Then after Duane died Dickey switched to a Sunburst Les Paul with zebra pickups. But he left it for a 1957 Les Paul Gold Top in 1974 as the Sunburst had "staying in tune" problem. Dickey found the 57 GoldTop at a pawn shop in New York City. Duane was playing a Fender Strat when the ABB formed but moved to a Gold Top then to a Sunburst with the Gold Top pickups. Delaney Bramblet loved Duane's Fender Strat so Duane eventually gave him the guitar. When Duane died he had switched again to a Les Paul tobacco burst which had DUANE pressed into the back of the body out of old frets. I think that is how it went as I became a fan in early 1970 but knew a couple of guys in Atlanta who saw them in 1969.

Thank you Tim! It's important to hear these stories, as sad as they are sometimes. Such an amazing group of musicians and you convey the music so wonderfully.

[@billmcnabb1037]

I was honored to see them 6/16/71. I was kid and after that night I was never the same. I’ve been playing guitar and bass since. Thx Tim great video.

[@jpalberthoward9]

Elizabeth Reed is an all time high water mark for any kind of improv, no matter what the genre. That tune just set the thermostat for greatness, and shows us all what is possible when you add good ol' fashion hard work and dedication on top of inspired brilliance. Duane and Dickey were the original telepathic twins, the dynamic duo. A pair of first rate ninjas speaking the undeniable truth with Les Pauls. I've been losing my mind over this piece since I heard the studio version when I was 10 years old in 1970, and I've always thought that if John Coltrane could have had a chance to sit in with the Brothers on this tune, it would have been legendary. You know Duane would have jumped at the chance to do that. I love to jam along with this track, and try to get people who have never heard of it to listen and appreciate it. Can't say enough good things about it.

[@tonywtyt]

Elizabeth Reed is such a haunting tune with a groove! One of my most favorite tunes of theirs!

[@bryansimmons4550]

Dickey Betts is an extremely talented songwriter, and E.R. is probably his best.

[@Joseph-ax999]

Two things I have to say. We're so fortunate to have a good live version of "Blue Sky" (Stoneybrook). Gregg's solo "Laid Back" is one of the best things he has ever done.

[@Rosko3333]

Dickey is a first class human being as well.I met him in 2006 in Port.or after a Dickey Betts Band show at the Aladdin Theatre.He invited me on the tour bus and we kicked it and talked Les Paul’s for about 10 mins.He told me the main difference in the 58-60 bursts and my Les Paul was the finish.He said the nitro finish on the originals allowed the wood to continue to age,compared to being sealed.He had been on the road longer than I had been alive,but he took the time to treat me like a brother and give me (a life long guitar player)a memory of a lifetime.

[@chimera2518]

Any Tim Pierce video opening with my favourite song in the world, is going to be a great one! A lovely interpretation of the first solo!

[@mikeoxley4458]

ABB Live at the Fillmore East is the album that taught me how to play guitar in the early 70’s! My friends and I used to jam on Liz Reed constantly, which taught us how to improvise. Did my first Bar gig at 16 in a band called Cerveza, which played all Fillmore East songs. Am still getting hired to play at age 65! Thanks ABB! 🎸

[@georgeperillo6421]

I will never forget the first time I heard "Blue Sky". I was driving my 1965 Corvette Sting Ray Coupe down PCH in Huntington beach California when I heard it on FM radio. I was young then and could not get over the intricate guitar harmonies between Duane and Dicky. I've been a huge fan ever since.

[@davidriley1847]

[@sandyturner1911]

My first ABB record was Beginnings, which was also a double LP..It was beautiful , and showed me what I had been missing.

[@Gnofg]

I saw Duane 4 times including the final weekend at the Fillmore and the next to last show he ever played at Stonybrook. I was directly under Duane for the second set for Dreams and Elizabeth Reed. FYI, The famous album "Live at the Fillmore East" they were the backup band to Jonny Winter. My friend was going and by this time I had seen Duane twice already. I told him that the Allman's were going to blowout Jonny Winter. They were the backup and not 3rd bill. Anyway, the next day my friend said he walked out. I said "what" and he said no I walked out on Jonny Winter. So many people walked out that they reversed order and the Allmans were the last band.

[@shannonrutherford6859]

Wow! You saw Duane 4X!? I wasn’t born yet when he was playing those shows but man if I could ever go back in time, it would be New York, March 13th, 1971

[@johnypitman2368]

love your podcast Tim, I met a very talented musician in the late 70s who played vintage les Paul and that experience cemented my passion for Guitar. He lived in Redding Ca and in the early 80s went to So Cal and played as a session musician. He later met Merle Haggard who lived in Palo Cedro a few miles east of Redding and married his daughter, gave Merle a grandson and managed his sound studio.

[@bodievaldezmusicworld8876]

Tim I always appreciate your content.. I listen to them rehearse Elizabeth Reed on Lonboat Key , FL a week or so before they left to tour and play Filmore east. At 12 yrs old it was always a beautiful song to me , and a few yrs later I fimaly heard again on live at the Filmore East..❤ those fellas..

[@DonStrenz]

Around '71 I went to a B.B. King concert at a local college here in Upstate NY and the Allman Bros, who I had never heard of, opened for him. I was blown away and bought their first 2 studio albums the next day.

[@bezzarguy]

I saw the original band ( with the harmonica player) at a festival in Mi. opening for Johnny Winters. Even though they were having sound issues they were amazing. I later saw them after Duane and Berry passed and I will never forget how great Dickie Betts was. Solo after solo, mind blowing.

[@DavidSmith-ss1cg]

Duane ALWAYS promoted Dickie - he'd say, "Y'all watch out for Dickie Betts!"

The Allman Bros were a huge influence on me. Back when radio would play album sides I recorded the side of Eat A Peach that they played on a cassette. (Side 3) I listened to it constantly. The solos on Blue Sky are still my favorites. It was always in my Walkman at the time. (This was early ‘80s of course) Then I discovered At Fillmore East. Wow! I was turned onto Miles and Trane because of them. Such greatness!

As a youngster (still in my single digit years) I had a sister who was 9 years older who often got saddled with me. In the mid to late 60s our Dad was stationed at Warner Robins AFB. One Saturday afternoon I got drug along to go see a very new Allman Bros band playing an outdoor gig across from some bar in Macon. Great memory and I got so sunburned running to get sodas and burgers for everyone around us.

[@jpalberthoward9]

@@jpalberthoward9 I think this was the interview where Duane said "I'm the famous one...Dickey's the good one".

[@jpalberthoward9]

@@glenduncan8125 That's the one. Growing up in Atlanta in the 60s & 70s, I got to hear lots of Duane stories, some of which were BS drunk talk, and some that were actually true. Maynard was the original Allman Joys drummer, and I knew his whole family. They're all very fine musicians, and excellent people. They all had some kind of stories about the 1964-66 years. The youngest one was my age. He's a first rate bass player, and he used to tell us about whacking Duane over the head with his little horse head on a stick toy until Duane picked hin up and gave him piggy back rides around the front yard. He was about 4 years old at the time. Their mom had nothing but good things to say about both Duane and Gregg. She told us about them coming off the road, and about making Sunday dinner for all of them. Maynard told us about how traveling around in a van in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and the Carolinas with long hair and paisley shirts in 1965-66, trying to entertain the crew cuts with black music could sometimes be hazardous to your health. The upshot of all this is that from the stories I've heard that are believable, it's safe to conclude that Duane Allman was as good of a human being as he was a guitar player. It would appear, from all accounts that his playing was an accurate reflection of his character.

[@bgarrison67]

The closing of the Filmore was 2 nights if I recall correctly. I have the Live at Filmore East remastered and Eat a Peach remastered and they have different performances of the same songs from the closing shows.

[@TM-jo4wz]

I saw the original ABB 1970 or 71. Duane did a tribute to Hendrix and Joplin. Just a few measures each on guitar. I was at the stage up front. Right below Barry. That’s how I learned how to start Whipping post by watching Barry. Incredible for me. I was 15 maybe 16. Still playing bass!!

The first 3 leads I ever learned on guitar: Hendrix "Purple Haze"; Frampton "Show Me the Way"; and the Allman Brothers "One Way Out"... my instructor jazz rocker Don Hastings RIP had very good taste - Duane & Dickey have been heroes since I started training with Don in '73.

[@jscotlandr]

Also, you're experience and deep understanding of guitar playing and guitar tone have been extraordinarily valuable to me. Some of your casual,off hand remarks have helped me more than hours of lessons and practice. Knowing what NOT to do is so rarely taught and talked about with nearly all guitar teachers. Doing everything you are taught can only take the aversge guitar player so far. The issue becomes recognizing the bad habits and unlearning them along with understanding the importance of the subtleties. For example , excessive fretting pressure held me back for years. Pick angle, pick attack and picking hand position were, and still are, huge issues with my playing.

[@stevetaylor6024]

I saw them over 50 times from '91 - '14 & Gregg's last show at Red Rocks '16.

[@Kevin-ib4gv]

I'm 70, love the Allman Brothers and they were the first songs I learned note for note. There has always been, back in the day, the rumour that the Filmore Live album was re-recorded because nothing other than Gregs vocals and Hammond B3 was useable. Apparently done in a barn according to one source. What makes me wonder if true or not is the perfection of the recording of the album in the harmonies of guitars, sustains, and overall tone quality that I don't think is attainable in a live situation. Like the saying goes, the only thing live about a live album is the crowd noise. Does anyone have a thought about this?

[@toddwilliams4442]

Sorry I missed the live chat. The flame on the LP you played on this is gorgeous. I was raised deeply immersed in country music. It's still my home and I finally pushed myself beyond the intimidation and awkward "learning to play all over again" state of country hybrid picking, ie; James Burton, Roy Nichols, redd volkaert, don rich, Brent mason, Vince Gill, Marty Stuart(and cousin Kenny, of course, lol). However, growing up not knowing there was any other sorts of music but country, bluegrass, and gospel, when I found rock and roll, it wasn't all to my taste during the progressive rock 80s. Hank Sr. brought me to Hank Jr.. It was like a roadmap to a hillbilly kids audiophile soul. He and Charlie Daniels were the gatekeepers of my musical rock rabbit hole. Through them I found skynnrd and taught myself to play with their songs. Also, I found the Allman's, and I love Duane, but dickeys country rich, melodic playing and songwriting style were definitely huge in my early learning. Jessica was one of the first lead lines I taught myself by ear. Dickey seldom gets mentioned for being the incredible guitarist he is. Everyone is always shocked to find that it's him playing slide on early albums after Duane passed and that amuses me. Dickey could blister bluegrass flatpick runs that would tie many metal guitar fingers in knots. Love your channel and , as always your tone is phenomenal. Dickey, Steve Gaines, and Toy Caldwell were vastly under appreciated artists and yet their contributions to music are immeasurable. Love to see you do a show(s) featuring their virtuosity and often unsung genius.

Great video. Dickey Betts' six minute solo in Whipping Post on that live album is one of the best free-style solos on any record. He'd never played it before, and it took Duane a bit to figure out what Dickey was doing so he could back him..the result is amazing. Dickey's later comments on their style: he felt Duane's soloing was more "riff based" where he, Dickey, was more into working out full melodies for his solos. And you can hear that not only in both of their playing, but the songs written by Dickey. The only song written by Duane, is a favorite, Little Martha.
