- We lost Mr. Betts yesterday and I already had an Allman Brothers song slated for today... but he wasn't featured. So I did a video that was shared in my channel's discord in his honor. I can't do much but I can do this. This song was beautiful. His tone is pristine. I don't know any of the people here ( I dont think) so if y'all know who they are please fill me in. I couldn't find a line up. I know it's originally from the allman brothers 4th album but this was a show from 84.

Ramblin' Man, Blue Sky, and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed are three more Dickey Betts tunes you need to hear.
I did Elizabeth a few weeks ago. Oh wait... (all jokes aside I did lol great tune as well)
RIP, Mr Betts. When Duane died most bands would have rolled over and slowly unraveled. Dickey grabbed the bull by the horns and set about making them an enduring entity, never forget him
All of us born in the forty s and fifty's have been mighty blessed to know of Dickey and so many great musicians through the years
The great Chuck Leavell on keys. He has been the music director for the Rolling Stones since 1982! he is also a world wide recognised Tree Farmer!
Dicky was watching his 3 yr old daughter Jessica having a 3 yr old moment; running, laughing, giggling, chasing the dog, etc. and he wanted to write a melody to describe it. You should play it for your daughters. They'll love it.
Dickey Betts on his famous red Gibson Guitar, letting it rip. "Jessica" is one of the greatest songs to feature awesome Guitar work. It was also used as the opening theme music for the BBC version of the show "Top Gear", a great car show. RIP to Mr. Betts, saw him a couple of times and he was spectacular. I believe this was Dickey's band Great Southern.
We appreciated your tribute to the great Dickey Betts - RIP Guitar Man. (That's the great Chuck Levell on the keys)
Indeed. Speaking of which - have I requested Sea Level recently?
So sad. He lived in my town and we loved him. This song was written for daughter when she was 3 and she appears on the cover
That's a beautiful thing. My daughter turns 3 in like a month. So sad and so beautiful at the same time
I've heard Sarasota, but recently heard Osprey. I'm in North Port
@@diverdown631 - Osprey is in Sarasota County.
Lovely tribute,thank you.
Brother Betts did name the song "Jessica" after his daughter. The little girl on the back cover is Berry Oakley's daughter Brittany.
Dickey wrote this for his little daughter, Jessica. We lost our Jessica at 29 years of age, and this song is my cell phone ring tone as a tribute/reminder. What a beautiful piece of music. Do listen to the studio version from the Allman Brothers.
Dickey Betts was an incredible rock, country and blues guitarist. His passing is a great loss to humanity and music lovers in particular. He could really bend those strings. Rest in peace Dickey.
For me, Dickey really held the Allman Brothers band together. He came up with such tasty licks on the guitar and always seemed like the professional in the room. RIP Dickey. 80 years is a pretty good run.
RIP Dickey! Thanks for all songs!
A great guitarist amongst great guitarists.
Ah how sad. Lovely to celebrate his life with this classic song, so well known to us here in the UK
RIP, DICKEY BETTS!! Thank You for Sharing Your Talents with THE WORLD!! This song was written for his toddler daughter! It's SO JOYFUL and LIVELY - just like a toddler girl! Reminds me of when my daughter was that age - runnin' ALL OVER THE PLACE and pretty much finding JOY in EVERYTHING!! LOVE IT!! Thanks for paying homage, Lee - this WHOLE BAND is just SO GOOD!!! ENJOY!
Another great one of my time passes. Those were the days of great lead guitarist like Dickey (Allmans Bros.), Page( Led Zep), Rod Price (Foghat), Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple & Rainbow), and on and on. The 70's was the time of the electric guitar and gifted hands!!!
Rip. Dickie. I saw you 10 times, and I’ll never forget watching your shadow on the speaker behind you.❤ an amazing silhouette.
He was a musical genius, both as a musician and songwriter. And he & Duane were the most dynamic pair of guitarists to ever play in a band since Beck & Page briefly joined in the Yardbirds. RIP to the one who helped write & play the soundtrack of my life.✌️❤️🎶
I'm glad I found him/them. A very special group. Rest in peace, Dickey. 🙏
Jessica is his Daughter! Dickie gave Allman Brothers their only number 1# Hit! with "Ramblin man!" We all miss Him already!
RIP Dickey!
This wasn't an Allman Brothers version, but the good thing about it was it included Chuck Leavell on piano, who played on the original record.
Damn. I am just now hearing about his passing. We have his timeless music to celebrate and he would love to have us do just that. Do your thing Lee!
Saw them five times in the seventies...Dickie was great...RIP brother.
Allman Bros. Band created southern rock and jam music simultaneously. Their contribution to American music cannot be overstated.
One of the greatest guitar players ever,I deserved much greater appreciation.RIP❤
Allman Brothers Band, now that's a rabbit hole. Combination of southern rock/blues/jazz. Stormy Monday, Blue Sky, Whipping Post, One Way Out, Statesboro Blues, Dreams, It's Not My Cross to Bear & on & on.....Albums to listen Eat a Peach and Live at Fillmore East.
Dickey’s son Duane Betts is a founding member, along with Devon Allman (son of Gregg), of The Allman-Betts Band. He is the spitting’ image of his father and plays in a similar style. I met Duane when his band played the “Southern Rock Cruise” a few years ago. They covered several Allman Bros. tunes, like “Blue Sky” and “Dreams” during their sets.
The man was and is a legend. You're right about his clean sweet guitar playing, but he could shred it with the best of them too. For more of Dickey check out his early solo stuff, such as with Great Southern. Songs like Good Time Feeling and Highway Call are worth a reaction. thanks!
RIP Dickey Betts. We lost another great one.
Could not stay awake after F.Z. this morning. Shame that the band that gave me so many live thrills will never be again. R.I.P., Dickie, Duane, Berry, Butch, and Greg. Peace to Jaimo and all.
Such a beautiful tone over the years that was a early 50s Gibson, Les Paul gold top PAT pickups that produce that amazing warm round sweet tone one could hear over and over
2 years later I saw him and greg allman do a free show in a field in philly about 150 people there Dickie was also my first live act to see on June 10 1977 at jfk stadium with frampton jgiels band and skynyrd rip brother
Countless jam bands were and will be formed because of Dickey Betts and the Allman Brothers Band.
I saw the Allman, Betts family revival, which is one of Gregg's sons and Dickey's son out touring, keeping the brother's music alive, in Sarasota on Dickey's last birthday. He didn't play and did not look good, but the crowd gave him a standing ovation.
RIP Dickie. Great performance. You'd like "Revival". Very uplifting. "People can you feel it? Love is everywhere..."
One of the best musicians that ever lived, right up there with Mozart. imo Looking at the image this is an excellent version of Jessica with an amazing keyboard and bass player. 😁😁😁
Have you ever listened to Mozart? The hyperbole in the comments sections is getting ridiculous. The fact that this is your opinion doesn't say much about your grasp of music. What a stupid statement.
One of my favorites, thanks! 💕 I bought the album with my babysitting money when I was 14.
ABB may have rocked it harder but this version is so clean, so technically perfect, whats not to love!!!
Dickey was a very inventive and melodic player, a perfect counterpoint to Duane Allman’s dirtier slide and blues figures.
Phenomenal guitarist and Allmans an amazing band .. And many bands followed in their footsteps …Cant speak highly enough of them and his passing was a sad sad day . Hurts like losing Bonham and Peart in the music that I like …Played the guitar without effort , just flowed majestically ..Rip Dickie ..❤
Great version! ...And I'd never heard that bit of trivia about Django - so cool! I was fortunate enough to see him live several times with the Allman Brothers - among the more memorable shows I've seen. RIP Dickey.
Heart and soul of the band before and after Duane IMO. Lee, on your next road trip check out Hand Picked from Highway Call. Oh brother Dickey rest joyously in the music of the spheres.
This show was called Guitar Greats and was aired on MTV in 1984. The house band was Chuck Leavell on keys, Michael Schrieve on drums, Kenny Aaronson on bass. Each musician had a stellar career and played with the best of the best. You may have seen Schrieve drumming with Santana at Woodstock. Leavell was with the Allman Brothers in the 70’s and went on to become musical director for The Rolling Stones. Look up HSAS.
The Allmans were one of America’s great bands.
Yeah, when Live at the Fillmore East came out I was a teen. Smoked a lotcof weed and drank alot of beers listening to that album. The allman Brothers are my favorite all time band.
Such a great guitarist. It was amazing to see him matching Duanne back in the day, and after Duanne's death he really carried on a lot of the musical style they pioneered in the early Allmans.
You might check out In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed (At Fillmore East, 1971)....one of my favs.....
We lost The Allman Brothers Band one at a time, but I always could think “We still have Dickey, and he hasn’t changed!” Jaimoe’s the only one left. There’s a drummer you should check out, while he’s still alive.
One Way Out, live at the Filmore. Just the best.
Butch Trucks is the uncle of Derek Trucks. The Allman Brothers were a very skilled band all the way through the lineup
Another *great,* the songwriter/singer/guitarist Hank Williams, wrote the lyric "No matter how I struggle and strive,/I'll never get out of this world alive." Hank died in 1953 at age 29 ~~~ and his song "Ramblin' Man" was the inspiration for Dicky Bett's (very different) song "Ramblin' Man."
You need to check out the "Allman Betts Band" This group was formed in 2018. What is interesting is it includes the sons of three founding members of the Allman Brothers Band , They are Devon Allman, Duane Betts, and Berry Duane Oakley. Dickey was guiding them in many ways. The band plays mostly original songs, with some covers of Allman Brothers songs mixed in. Couple songs I enjoyed are " Good Ol' Days"; " Long Gone"; " Down To The River"; " Autumn Breeze"; " Southern Rain"' "Pale Horse Rider"; "Savannah's Dream"; and " The Doctor's Daughter".
Thanks for doing. I saw him with ABB and Solo about 30 times. A guitar master.
Dickie Betts had a band for a while called Betts Hall Leavell and Trucks. It might have been them. I saw them back in the day and they tore the house down. They were great. Kurt from Maine
Very nice, Dickey Betts… ✨🙏
Dickey is the reason I started playing guitar after hearing the studio version of Southbound...I was 14 in 1974 ...I has a Les Paul custom
Chuck Leavell on the piano
Also played with the Stones and Eric Clapton on his Unplugged show.
His latest gig is playing Georgia music with Mike Mills from REM and Mike's highschool buddy Robert McDuffie on violin. Jessica is one of the songs they play in their shows. They won a Grammy last year for a PBS special they did on the Fourth of July. I know all of this because my buddy plays guitar in that band.
Thank you for all the info! It's much appreciated . I couldn't find out much about this show or any of the personnel
@@L33ReactsChuck Leavell had a band of his own called Sea Level which was also very good. Try ‘That’s Your Secret’
@@blitztim6416 Love Sea Level and always enjoyed the play on his name (first initial "C" + alternate spelling of last name Leavell) to get the band name.
Brilliant song…..I have it as my phone ringtone!!!!
Django Reinhardt was one of the greatest guitar players that ever lived. He burnt his hand in a fire at age 18 and had to relearn the guitar using just his first two fingers. Very cool of Dickey to think of him. RIP man
Chuck Leavell on amazing keys too.
First song I thought of when I heard of Dickey's passing was "Pony Boy". I think it captures his attitude and playfulness perfectly. And the Guitar work is off the chart.
Also, I can't be sure, but that looks like Chuck Leavell at the Piano, the Pianist on the album version of Jessica (and throughout the Brothers & Sisters record). Truly a remarkable Musician. When the Piano Solo part was starting I thought to myself "Go on then mate, are you gonna attempt to recreate that Leavell solo?!", then thought "Hah, sorry Chuck, as you were!".
Great, great guitar player. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome tribute bro. Couldn't have picked a better one.
Jessica is my all-time favorite Allman brothers track. A good day so far.
Thank you for paying tribute to Dickey. He was a massive talent.
Hand Picked from his 1974 solo album Highway Call is a 14 minute Bluegrassy/ Western swing jam.
Butch Trucks' son, Derek Trucks, has his own band now and is one of the finest slide guitarists alive.
You need to hear the ABB live at the fillmore ...absolute classic
RIP Dickey 😞 . 1984 was during the years between the Allman's break-up after the 1st reunion ( 1979 - 1983 ) Dickey & Gregg were off doing solo work with their bands until the Dreams tour & reunion in 1989 that would see the band stay together with some personnel moves along the way until they packed it in after Oct 2014 . Check out the version of "Blue Sky" from the Live at Great Woods video which is an excellent take of the song from the Warren Haynes / Allen Woody era of the band in the 90's .
The Allman Brothers played so much at the New Orleans Warehouse they were called The House Band. Google New Orleans Warehouse Concerts for a list of the greatest bands in the world. It opened in Jan. 1970 with Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green), The Flock and Grateful Dead.
The pianist may be Chuck Leavell who plays keyboards for David Gilmour in Pompei in 2016 and sings the verses in "Comfortably Numb" in that performance. He's obviously a great pianist.
Dickey was as much a part of the sound of the Allman Brothers Band as any of the others, Duane, Greg, Berry, Butch, and the only current survivor, Jaimoe. Listen to the live version from the Fillmore East of Dickey's "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed", a beautiful composition with fantastic solos by Dickey and Duane.
This was Dickey’s solo act, I believe the keyboardist is Chuck Leavell, who also played with Dickey in the Allman Bros. This has always been one of my favorite songs. Totally hear the beach sound you’re talkin about, but for me, this song always sounded like taking a hike through some lush green mountains while tripping on shrooms and you walk into an open field full of flowers and vibrant color
I've forgotten his name but the keyboard player was in the backing band for the Rolling Stones on several tours. I always thought that Dickey and Jerry Garcia were born of the same cloth with Dickey having a bit more of a southern flair. RIP
Saw him mid 70's. Free concert in New Paltz NY. Thousands of fans in a field. Complete with steakers on mopeds. Blew all away. Gonna miss him
Allman Brothers and Betts were the best.
It’s crazy because a few days ago I was thinking “I’d love for Lee to react to some Allman Bros songs”. Jessica is definitely my favorite ABB song so that would have been my suggestion. Then the next day, Betts passes
Bought my 1st Richard Betts album, "Highway Call", in 1974 for $1.99. Still have the receipt. Classic. RIP, Dickey.
I did as well back then, and when I found it on CD a few years later I was so psyched!
Yeah,life is short. Gotta take it in while it’s around!
Dickey was apparently Bob Dylan's favourite guitarist. To add to this video (watch all of this first, right?) there is also a good Betts reminiscence on the fine channel of Otis Gibbs. (not linking it, right?)
U da Man!!!!
Blue Sky and One Way Out are classic ABB!
This was done with his own Band, after the Allman Brothers Band sort of rettired, at least in it's original form. This is good, but the best version is the one when Duane and Greg Allman, and Dickie Bettes were all together. They were such a great Band.
Great version by Dickey’s band so now react to the original with The Allman Brothers!
If Eugene Levy and Harold Ramis had a child, it would be that bass player.
Great clip including Dicky, and 2 drummers for you, search "The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post - 9/23/1970 - Fillmore East (Official)"
To see his vocals and also his other truly iconic song is "Blue Sky". A definite must. This is dicky betts band, not allman bros. Soulshine is beautiful but new. No dickie instead its the Warren Haynes era
Could be Great Southern, Dicky had his own band when he departed ways with Allman Bros.
I believe that's Kenny Aaronson on bass. He's played with tons of people.
This is not ABB - just Dicky on his own and the piano player Chuck Leavel who joined the ABB after Duane Allman died and stayed with them for a few albums before moving on to the Rolling Stones.
Check out Dickey Betts' son, Duane Betts, playing some Allman Brothers' songs with the Tedeschi Trucks Band on UA-cam...he's a great soloist like his dad...
I saw him in the same venue around this time, but not sure if it was the same night. When I saw him the lineup for the evening was Gregg Allman with his band, DickieBetts with his band, and….The Band. Dickie and Gregg combined for a few songs. It was bit of a reunion for them at the time, I think. I’m pretty sure the Alllmans were not playing together during that period.
You are correct! There was a gap between albums in the 80s. I noticed that last night as I was scrambling to find the line up that I never found lol
That might have been his side band. Great Southern.
Chuck Leavell on keys? This doesn't seem to be the Allmans. Great Southern, Sea Level?
Yeah it's Dickeys band, not the allmans. I didn't know while recording but they filled me in this morning in the chat.
there is a jazz version by Robin Kenyatta...Betts and Allman were like Kareem and Magic
Damn now that's an apt description and great reference right there. ✅️ huge old school NBA fan. Well, my era. The 2000s. Sadly my wizards have been shit since this era came out. 79 was the only ring we ever won 😅
Pony Boy carry me home .
Just guitar cord and amp. No bullshit.
..... thanks
.... you're welcome
By far not his best version of the central lead part, but yeah, RIP Dickey, one of the GREATS.
Check out Little Martha on Eat a Peach album.
looks like Duanes 57 goldtop
