MAN YOU GOT THAT 100% RIGHT -- THEY HAD DEVELOPED THE TUNE TO PERFECTION BY THAT TIME -- DUANE WAS ABSOLUTE SPONTANEOUSLY BRILLIANT & DICKEY WAS JUST TECHNICALLY & METHODICALLY SPECTACULAR -- ONE OF THE GREATEST LIVE PERFORMANCES THERE EVER WAS
It's great to hear Dickey & Duane's parts isolated . VERY interesting. They wrote The Book on how 2 guitarists in a band should work together. Both were/are incredible soloists, improvisers, and both are SUPERB rhythm players. They back each other up and Gregg's singing perfectly. The ABB were a perfect example of ALL FOR ONE & ONE FOR ALL philosophy. After Duane, then Berry Oakley's death, Dickey stepped up BIG for the band with his songwriting, taking some singing pressure off Gregg and playing his butt off.
I first saw Allmans just before their 1st album was available opening for Leslie West and Mountain...Allmans were Awesome, been a huge fan ever since..... I grew up in Woodstock NY and first saw Orleans as a 3 piece bar band....John Hall and Larry Hoppen were another pair of Amazing guitar players who played Amazingly well together, check out the work on their first album 😊👍
@@HerringboneRecords as a fellow NYer I knew Leslie Weinstein West, a GREAT guitarist, GREAT TONE, from our home town, Forest Hills, and was a BIG fan of Orleans. Yes John H & Larry or Lance H ( I am always get them mixed up LOL) were also a fine guitar tandem. Some of their worked out harmony lines were incredible. Not at hte level or intensity of Duane & Dickey, just a different approach, and different guitar roles within each band based upon their band's repertoire. At that point in time, Duane & Dickey , along with Jimi H(when he was still alive), Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Peter Green, Zappa, Lowell George, were at the apex of lead/solo guitar playing. Rare territory. The Orlean's fine duo was just a notch or so down from these amazing folks...still preforming at a VERY high level of talent ! ALL here were not only superb soloists, but each was also a GREAT rhythm player, each with their own instantly distinctive tone & sound.
Beauty on the strings. I named my only son "Sky" after this song.He's 26 now. I grew up breathing the Allmans. Thank you to each and every one of them. My life is a spiritual journey with this music playing in the background.
Eat A Peach and Brothers & Sisters are among the greatest albums ever released back to back by any artist. How many albums released back to back can you think of that belong in this conversation ? After the Gold Rush & Harvest ? Tea for the Tillerman & Teaser & the Firecat ? Rubber soul & Revolver ?
Blue Sky is the translation of his wife's Indian name...... I learned this when I visited the Big house. Also sat in the front bay window where this was written...
Duane and Dickey complimented each other all the way through. I especially love the Blue Sky from 9'19'71 at SUNY college Duane goes, "we got a new song maybe some of you ain't heard it.........Dickey's song "Blue Sky" :) :)
Love how the ‘cowboy ‘ chords are a bit out of tune on the Les Paul so that the lead notes up the neck are perfect. Obviously a one take, no overdubbing. Amazing musicians.
Dickey & Duane’s genius are near inseparable...the synergy on full display. Sure they competed, brought out the best in each other. Hard to imagine they were so realized at such a young age...magicians
YA GOTTA TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT THOUGH DONTCHA -- DUANE IS THE ONE WHO GOT ALL THE REQUESTS TO PLAY ON AN ALBUM OR RECORDING -- CLAPTON SAW THEM & WANTED DUANE FOR HIS SLIDE PLAYING -- MAYBE DUANE WAS DOING SOME EGO STROKING FOR DICKEYS BENEFIT -- EITHER WAY DICKEY WOUND UP BEING AS GOOD AS ANYBODY UNTIL THE PILLS & ALCOHOL STARTED STEALING HIS LIFE FROM HIM
I love Dickey Betts. His playing for me is just pure joy from the heart.It's so soulful.And it's like his writing the most beautiful love letter to the listener.
Best southerner rocker ever ! Love you Dickey, thank you for sharing your talents with us all , and bringing light and unique music to our beautiful state of Georgia
I always chose Dickie B when asked who my favorite guitarist was and still is but, Duane was a close second. Unimaginable that they were in the same band.
My favorite, also. Jessica and his playing on Ramblin Man, hooked me from the get-go. There are and have been a lot of great guitarists, but none I had rather listen to than Dickey Betts.
Close second? I think it`s the other way around man. Eric Clapton didn`t ask Dicky Betts to record the Layla album with him. Duane was also a prized studio player that other artists sought out. Jerry Wexler VP of Atlantic Records said; Duane was one of the greatest blues guitar players in the world if you count them on one hand with three fingers missing.
@@ddonovan5053Eric wanted a "slide" guitar for his album. Duane A. was possibly the greatest that ever lived. I would argue that Dickey B. is a better guitarist but not by much.
Love the way he kicks up the volume (maybe flips to bridge pup?) at 2:43 when his solo starts. His dynamics are as flawless as his picking. What a pair, and what a band. I have been listening to them since I was 13 and have never gotten tired of hearing this song. Thanks for the iso tracks, to me the best part was to hear the tones DA and Dickey drew from their instruments. Takes a lot more than the right gear and the right notes to sound like that.
Another reason he chose Dickey was because Berry and Dickey were playing in the Second Coming and Berry was reluctant to leave that band to join Duane's group. Originally Duane wanted a trio with Berry and Jaimoe, but as the Jacksonville jams developed it became apparent that a six piece group was perfect. Spectacular.
I have absolutely loved this tune from the moment I first heard it in the summer of 72 driving my 65 Vette down PCH in Huntington Beach, Ca. So simple and pure when isolated but so powerful when combined with Duane; and the result intimidated a young guitar player at the time (me) until I learned the riffs. This tune never gets old.
Brilliant. I sure miss this kind of music. A lot of great music came out in 1971 and 1972. I feel very fortunate to have been a witness to it. Could we please go back fifty years?
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER BAND, LIKE THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND,THEY WERE MEANT TO BE HEARD TOGETHER.HOW SPECIAL THIS BAND WAS,IT,s ABOUT THIS GREAT TALENTED BAND OF MUSICIANS WHO MADE SOME OF THE GREATEST MUSIC EVER.😎🎸🎶🔊🎼☮️ BOB.
Duanne was in constant demand for session work. This is one my favorite songs. i miss playing this song running and riding. i had this place, horses, birds,creek, hardly anyone there. Oh well, at 63, how can i complain for the past eh? i cant, but i do tear...
3:00 minutes in and the rhythm turns into a great lead. Impressive thanks for the isolation of Dickey and Duane. Quality musicians, RIP in ecstacy Allman brothers.
How cool to hear this as i had heard Duane's part first . May just an old days opinion as i had the chance to see them back in 1970 at RFK Stadium & at American University . Simply they were the best playing band in Blues Rock history. Thanks Mitchell for posting these gems.
Hi! I saw the Allman Brothers in 1973 at R.F.K. Stadium in Washington D.C., and I was lucky enough to hear "JESSICA" LIVE, before the "BROTHERS AND SISTERS" album came out! Dickey announced that from his on stage mic just before the band played it! WOWOW! I can still hear it in my minds eye!! I was completely and totally blown-away by the beautiful melody line and so right then I decided to commit the melody line to memory. And from that moment until the following morning I did nothing but repeat that melody line all the way back to Long Island, from D.C.!!! Lol!!! I dedicated myself to learning to play guitar from that experience, and have since studied Larry carlton, and Robben Fords syles! I owe it all to Dickey Betts, and, of course,, the "ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND"~!~!~!~
Little bit of Franklin's Tower vibe in Dickey's rhythm part, never noticed that before. Dickey mentioned more than once how much he loved Jerry Garcia's playing
Yeah, I've always noticed their similarities as well. I was a guitarist in the seventies and my two favorite guitarists to emulate were Jerry Garcia and Dickey Betts, no BS!!!
one really cool thing about this that I never realized before is that the comping Dickey is doing under Duane's solo is E to a quick D to A. I'd mostly been playing E straight to A all these years. Probably adds a lot of color to Duane's solo.
This was a great man I'm sure to have known him or anyone oF them would have been a moment in time you cherish and let it becomes timeless.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️live band to ever come out of America!!!!!
I will always remember when Clapton and The Dominoes took Duane for a few weeks and The Brothers were thinking Duane would join up with Clapton but he returned stating" Clapton was good but he's no Dickie Betts"enough said.
I've read a few ABB bios and never heard that quote. He may well have said it, but the idea that he was gonna leave Greg and the boys to be a sideman is silly on it's face.
@@AZCobraman You need to read Please be with me, written by Duane's daughter.The quote about Clapton/Betts is on page 272,I had not quoted quite exactly.There is no "may well have said it"he did and who said anything about a Sideman?Duane was getting 20 per cent of the Dominoes concerts,in a band with 5 people, to me that's shared out equal.Anyway, what's so bad if Duane was to play as a Sideman to Clapton,Buddy Guy and Derek Trucks along with many others have not to bad out of it. Who's face is looking silly now?
When someone says, "He my well have said it" that means that person believes he may (well) have said it...but I still doubt he would have ever left the ABB for Eric. As far as equal money that doesn't surprise me, but being in Clapton's band and having your own are two different things. And like him, I would 100% rather play with Betts than Clapton.
The ABB sound was based on that "Looping Style" playing the same notes over and under each other but a little differently each time says Dickey Betts. I think Dickey was the creator of that style which fit the ABB perfect GOD BLESS the ABB
I almost feel like like a voyeur that wasn’t supposed to ‘see’ these isolated tracks. While I thought Duane’s part was near perfection, I really enjoyed Dickey’s more real, ever-so slightly-off and out of tune take. Just real, man. Thank you, whomever you are that has/had access to these tracks.
Bobby Whitlock said on one of his recent videos that ‘Duane was out of tune in the whole album’ referring go to the Layla disks. I don’t hear it much on his and Dickey’s picking here. Slide is almost better slightly sharp and flat. IMO.
I love the spaces and fills Dickey puts in his part during Duane's solo. A real lesson in guitar. His articulations in his solo are out of this world. We faintly hear Berry going head to head with Dickey. Any chance we can hear the solo part of Berry?
Eric M, absolutely terrific post. With your vivid imagination you could write some great fiction. We can dream, tho & I really like yours. Thanks for making my day.
Wow, the UA-camr recommendation algorithm struck gold on this one. And the DA solo. Have to scroll down away from the video though, it was making me sea sick
Great rhythm player as well. Duane could stretch out on a solo and chase it, knowing the rest of the band was right there backing him up, following his every nuance. Duane did the same for Betts.
Beautiful playing. thing about this band performance is you can't take it apart...it's the group groove, from every perspective, that makes it magic. We got Duane, we got Dickey, now I'm waiting for the Berry part to be isolated
How can anyone pick the best guitarist.... each one is as unique as each players personality. Great is great.. and there are so many greats to pick from. 😀
I would say the genre takes precedence here. Personally, I don’t think Duane’s slide playing has ever or will ever be touched. And his lead parts , how he played circles around the melody of their songs, was incredible. He was definitely the mainframe of the group. I was at a dance in South Georgia when we heard the news that Duane had been killed. A friend and I spent the rest of the night sitting in the parking listening to the ABB on the radio. That’s all they played. Of course we all have different tastes, but as a guitarist myself, I just don’t think their innovation and spontaneity will ever be matched. They were the primo jamming band. When the band was “born” they played 5-6 hours non stop and Duane ran over and blocked the door and said “ anyone who doesn’t want to play in my is going to have to come through me.” What a history! And they never played any song the same way twice.
Incredible to hear Dickey & Duane both isolated and the Instrumental version you uploaded. Such a great tune. Would it be possible to do the same isolations of Dickie & Duane and an instrumental version of Midnight Rider? I have heard for years that Dickie just sat down at a pedal steel and did his solo on the record but everyone insists he is playing his Les Paul and imitating the steel sound. Thanks for your ups and your channel!
Clean, smooth, beautiful.........It isn't how fast you play, its how you bend those strings.........If you want another guitar duo that were great listen to the old 1972 album "ARGUS" by Wishbone Ash. They were British and had a real English sound. Andy Powell and Ted Turner put dual guitar bands on the map.
Hello and thanks for these awesome tracks! I blended Duane's, Dickey's and Berry's parts together for us to get the full experience. Thanks again! Check it out if you want and keep up the good work! @
What a sad day today. May this legend rest in peace.
There will never be another guitar duo like this folks.
Hopefully there will be.
@@SuperBroncosguy I hope you right..they was special
Bob Weir and Jerry are at the same level imo
@@lilacrain3283 They were outstanding of course but the two were not as interchangeable as Duane and Dickey

Makes an old mans heart burst with joy remembering better times

Anyone who hasn't heard the Blue Sky from 9/19/71 SUNY Sunnybrook is missing out. Greatest version ever. Dickey and Duane on fire
Totally agree - Best music recording in history!

How can anyone pick the best guitarist.... each one is as unique as each players personality. Great is great.. and there are so many greats to pick from. 😀
I would say the genre takes precedence here. Personally, I don’t think Duane’s slide playing has ever or will ever be touched. And his lead parts , how he played circles around the melody of their songs, was incredible. He was definitely the mainframe of the group. I was at a dance in South Georgia when we heard the news that Duane had been killed. A friend and I spent the rest of the night sitting in the parking listening to the ABB on the radio. That’s all they played.
Of course we all have different tastes, but as a guitarist myself, I just don’t think their innovation and spontaneity will ever be matched. They were the primo jamming band. When the band was “born” they played 5-6 hours non stop and Duane ran over and blocked the door and said “ anyone who doesn’t want to play in my is going to have to come through me.” What a history!
And they never played any song the same way twice.
Amazing, the whole time I thought the lead - when not doubled - was Dickie Betts. Now I find out Duane did a lot of the solo lead guitar.
Incredible to hear Dickey & Duane both isolated and the Instrumental version you uploaded. Such a great tune. Would it be possible to do the same isolations of Dickie & Duane and an instrumental version of Midnight Rider? I have heard for years that Dickie just sat down at a pedal steel and did his solo on the record but everyone insists he is playing his Les Paul and imitating the steel sound. Thanks for your ups and your channel!
I'm 67 and no lov. Awww
This helps my soul
Nicely done!
Cool, liked both guitar isolations, thanks
Mitchell Lopate, I think you are spot on.
Wow!

Clean, smooth, beautiful.........It isn't how fast you play, its how you bend those strings.........If you want another guitar duo that were great listen to the old 1972 album
"ARGUS" by Wishbone Ash. They were British and had a real English sound. Andy Powell and Ted Turner put dual guitar bands on the map.
Just blows my mind how you can hear Dickie playing his Les Paul- idiosyncrasies are what make for beautiful playing.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve tried to get this note for note. And failed!
Thank you my Jesus for bringing me thru the fire, how sweet these days were..not many left from this time..peAce n love to ALL💜🤴

Judy Blue Sky was a beautiful woman, inside and out!

Guitar magic
They were just different which is great when you have to lead players.
Hello and thanks for these awesome tracks!
I blended Duane's, Dickey's and Berry's parts together for us to get the full experience.
Thanks again! Check it out if you want and keep up the good work!
