We were so blessed weren't we ? I wasn't a huge Allman bros fan, but I knew Dickie Betts was sure top of the talent group. I'd put Terry Kath up there with him (rip) Chicago band guitarist

    I had the pleasure to provide sound services for Dickey Betts and Great Southern at the Crossroads venue in Birmingham, AL promoted by Ruffino-Vaughn Promotions of New York and Birmingham. One of the best quotes, ever, was when Dwayne said "Dickey is the good guitarist, I'm the famous one."

    Unless you are/were a fan of this magical band , most music fans probably have never heard of Dicky Betts . Well as we all could recite . He is a massive contributing to the ABB sound . Dicky , bless him is no longer with us , but hey , his beautiful contribution to the Allmans sound is here , for all to listen . You’ll never be disappointed . ❤🫶🙏

    My first concert was Allman Brothers on lawn of Miami Beach Jackie Gleason Auditorium August 1970. Allman Brothers opened for a band called Fantasy. Dickey and Duane together were like Zeus and Apollo, guitar gods. Rest in Blue Sky, Dickey.

    • @f3uibeghardt522

      There's a video of Dickey's son Duane Betts where he takes the guitar seen here to Norm's Rare Guitars and talks about it. From what I think I remember, he said Dickey started playing Strats in the '90s. Obviously, he'll always be associated with Les Pauls, but he went through a phase.

    • @psaint60
      @psaint60 Рік тому +1

      Almost feels like blasphemy to me that they’re not playing LPs 😆
      IMHO you’ll never get the warmth, tone or sustain on a Strat that you get with a Paulie.
      I just think for the most part, LPs/Gibsons were an integral part of the ABB sound (I know Duane liked an SG for slide).
      Don’t get me wrong. Derek & The Dominoes and the Allmans are my two favorite bands and I own both a Strat and an LP Standard.
      It’s a cool change of pace to hear this on Strats, and clearly the band felt that way too.
      I guess I’m just a sentimental old geezer. 😆
