I saw the Allman Brothers babd in Chicago in the early 70s. One if the best concerts I ever went to. They were completely in the "zone" and wouldn't stop playing. I don't know how many encores they played, but the venue finally literally had to pull the breakers on the electricity because they wouldn't stop. I probably paid ten dollars for the ticket, tops. Those were the days...
Now look at those (mostly their parents) who pay thousands to see someone who can barely keep time and writes for 13 yr old girls who make her a billionaire. Hard to believe.
Dicky was the best. Better than Duane. Betts was always playing in the background. I’m one who always thought the boy could compete with anyone. ANYONE! Upon Duane’s untimely death, they had no choice but to bring Dicky to the front! Clapton will always be my musical god, but Dicky always had it!! ❤
I was only 12 years old when my mom bought me the Woodstock album. I went to Watkins Glen to see the Band, Allmans and of course the Dead. No worries. What’s 600k people in a space that only sold 80k tickets?!!!😹❤️
I am 74 years old, and the 60s were the days Iived for this was the time of the Vietnam War I am a Navy veteran and this music keep my spirit going in a time time of evil and that carries over to this day and age as well!!! RIP Dickey B. Love your music and style.
Have to agree wholeheartedly! I'm working on 76, USNR, and was aboard the USS Sealion, sub, Key West just having fetched some coffee in the galley, went thru the con and as I stepped into the Fwd Troop Compartment ( no torpedo rooms ) Crimson and Clover began to play on the boat's Subic Bay acquired stereo system, eat up with reverb, inside a steel hull...Ill never forget that moment in time, so long ago. The greatest music to ever evolve, and the band's that brought it to the fore'... so many remained forever young that were of that era. So many that succumbed later over the years...God Speed Brothers and Sisters who endured so much. Salute, and thanks to those that created the music that fueled our youth...We were the offspring of America's Greatest Generation. We were going to change the world, but the world changed us. Salute Sir...Carry On.
Hello college kids. This is the music we listened and saw live. Guitars, bass, drums, maybe piano, some horns and amazing talent. I may be old, but I saw all the cool bands. This is called Rock n Roll.
Southern Rock and Roll. I remember them playing Tampa back in '72 and they didn't stop for 4 1/2 almost 5 hours. Drum solo was 50 mins of just a$$ kicking battle of the skins. The band went back stage to snort some lines and drink a beer. Acid was FINE and the ride home in my Formula S Barracuda was exceptionally a Blast.
Hey Arthur ,this is Jeff Yoder the ol'broke down scooter tramp and I hope someone saves as many videos and recordings of the Allman brothers band to pass down to the upcoming generations for quite some time for them to see, hear, and enjoy like we have 😊😅😂❤😊

From Dickey and Duane to Dickey and Warren and then Warren and Derrick with a little Jack Pearson thrown in the middle. How many great guitarists can you have be part of one band. INCREDIBLE!
So Duane is rightfully revered forever more, however it sometimes ignores the fact that Dickey could also tear it up like nobody's business! Go Cochise!
Dwayne was mostly remembered for his was of playing the slide , guitar masters even say he waz the best to date and he died at I think early 20s and it waz 50 years ago almost, dickie is a beast on the guitar for real brother !!
All ABB fans know that . I'm tired of reading comments that Dickey is underrated . He's not . Anyone who listens to this band know Dickey was one of the GOAT guitarists ever .
Definitely one of my favorite ABB songs. Dickie's solo riffs at the beginning of it are unbelievable. Talk about a blues guitarist and a rocker. He is phenomenal.
I was lucky to see them in early 1994. They came to our hotel where I worked as security. I told my boss I WAS working that night. So I got to see them and get paid. I met Butch Trucks after the show. Nice guy.
@@biancakaye2721 It was a great show. It was funny to see Greg Allman when he came out, though. He was walking out onto the stage like he was the king-shit. But yeah, the band rocked pretty well that night. :)
@@biancakaye2721 I saw them many times. In Macon and at the Fox in Atlanta with Lynyrd Skynyrd in the 70's. they always did a great live show. Imagine paying less than $8.00 to see them live at the same show. Still have the concert T shirt I bought and the ticket stub. Play it pretty for Atlanta. Some of Ronnie's most famous words. He never talked much during thier shows but those were iconic words he spoke.
a friend of mine said, "when I'm not sure what I want to hear I put on some Allman Brothers, and a few minutes later I'll say- that's exactly what I wanted to hear"
Dicky Betts, an unsung guitar master in rock and roll history. Anyone who ignores Dicky as one of the greatest of all time needs to visit a very good specialist and have their head examined. What a freaking player, and incredible human being to boot.
+ASurvivor1 He's not unsung; you're right about that... to a certain extent at least. In my opinion, he should be talked about in the same breath as Duane, Jimmi, Clapton, Stevie Ray, etc etc, and unfortunately, that's not the case.
Who starts a song with a solo? Dickey Betts, brother and kicks ass like no other!!! I freakin love this!! And Warren’s solo is pretty incredible too. Dickeys lick at 5.16 is awesome. Superb performance!! Dickey’s on fire. Such a powerful presence!! I bet I’ve watched this a hundred times and just can’t get enough!!!
I watched them play every weekend at The Shell in Overton Park in Memphis TN back in the early 70's. Can't beat this band. I been to many concerts back in my day, that's what ya did. #1 all the way.
They needed no hooks, crooks, teased hair, tight pants, or gimmicks of any kind...The Allman Brothers Band, one of the world's greatest, their music will live forever!!!
I was fortunate enough to watch them in early 70 in Memphis at the Shell in Overton Park for weekends all summer . all of them were alive. best jam band ever .
NEVER REALIZED HOW GREAT DICKIE BETTS IS! OR THEALLMANN BROS. IN GENERAL! ITS LIKE HEARIN THEM FOR THE 1ST TIME ALLMAN IS A GREAT SOUL SINGER TOO! BORN TOO LATE, I GUESS!
The Allman Brothers are at the top of the heap. Most bands that would loose a talent like Duane would have folded but these boys with Dickie and Greg are still one of the best of all times! RIP Gregg, RIP Duane, Rock on Dickie!!
I love the way they all stepped out and took solos like a classic jazz band. Then tied it all back together with a seamless sound that carried you to parts unknown. Man I feel so lucky to have heard them numerous times!
I am so lucky to have had such great music and bands when i was growing up...today's music is nothing like the bands of the 1970's....just plain & simple Kick Ass Rock & Roll...
Cheeze is crust! THAT is one of the best renditions, of one of the best numbers, performed by easily one of the best collection of musicians, ever to grace our planet with their all-too painfully short place in time on Mother Earth!
Always been an original ABros. fan. I was born in '69 so viva the originals. However, Warren and company have become a great carry of this tradition. True American!!
first time I saw these kick-ass fukers was 1969 or 70, In Raleigh, NC @ the Memorial Auditorium. barely had heard of them, but when I poured what was left of me out the door ... a convert for life! THE BEST SOUTHERN ROCK EVER!
Dicky Betts is the most underrated guitar player ever. Only Dicky could pick up a slide and learn Duane's parts in short time and do a damn good job at it and still cover his own parts. And he did this for quite a while too. ABB had two all time greats at guitar.
This band...will always hold a special corner in my heart. Cut my teeth on these guys,"beginnings" to be exact,saw them multiple times as a youth. Part of my life daily for the majority of my existence. The reason I started playing music myself. True legends if ever was a thing. Just cant say enough good things about this band. Maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic but I really love this band.
not enough people givin warren the love he deserves here, awesome mix of slide and fretting on this track. this showcases some of the last good "dickey era" of allman.
Love Warren Hanes and Gov’t Muel. He makes the Allman Bros. sound like they did when Duane was alive. I’m 67 now; was 15 for my first Allman Bros show at Fillmore West in SF. Ticket was about $4.00 or less and we got a poster of upcoming shows.
One of the best bands to see live !!!! When everybody played an instrument,no dancers just jamming through the night!!! What a time for live bands ,highschool dances had bands real musicians!!!!
One way Out, Greg I hope your at home and free! Thanks a lot Brothers Allman's for giving us something in life here and this lets us know theirs life here after.
The Allman Brothers Band are truly brothers in heart, mind and, especially, soul shine. A great energy for us all to learn how to play well with others. 💚
I love your comment. Thank you for putting the words to what we all see and hear and feel justy below the surface. BROTHERHOOD> It makes me happy to be human.
This is killer. One Way Out has been a favorite of mine forever. Betts is totally on top of this. Great drumming break and very well shot and directed video. Bravo.
My Beloved Lil Brother introduced me to almost every kind of music i love. My Brother cud play any musical instrument he picked up including my drum kit i sucked at. Thx Bobby, miss you sooo. And thx for video!!!
wow..this is the music I was raised and cut my teeth on. I wish Dickie the best. I would like to just go say hello to him some time and thank him for the music. He is aging and suffering memory loss. Can't stop the hands of time. Sadly we all live to die.
Saw moody blues all the acid heads. Sitting nobody in the stand or out of there seats. Great night. Next night saw the original Allman brothers. Place was jammed. Couldn't get near the stage. The crowd were mostly bikers and freaks. I couldn't believe that we're that many different people in Chicago. Glory days.
This has got to be my favorite version of " One Way Out". I just wish the cameraman knew that when someone is doing a lead guitar solo, you focus the camera on them and do some zooming in on just the guitar. I love watching Dickey play. Damn, he can burn it up !!
Have to say I like the "Live At The Fillmore East" version better! I'm inclined to believe that the audio was better produced comparing the two live recordings! In fact, even though studio albums on vinyl are cleaner recordings, I tend to prefer the raw, purely performed versions of most of the songs on L @ T F E album moreover the later studio versions! Agree with your cameraman observation!
There are multiple camera operators and they typically do what the video director tells them to. If the budget is big enough they will record each camera feed and edit them later.
Amezing video and awsome song awesome guy with the ponytail and the drummers they out of sight wow thanks to the music enhancement network for uploading this fantastic video and song thanks 💋👍💕🌻💐💋👍
One of my biggest music regrets, that I wasn't able to see the Allman brothers band with Greg and Dickie. Played the heck out of this album though. Dickie Betts is a remarkable guitar player.
I took my daughter a few years ago to see the Allmans at Peachfest . I was 54 or so , her , 30 I think. At the first notes of "Please Call Home" her face was a stream of tears . This music is a soundtrack really of our lives over the past 40 + years . Never miss a chance to see your favorites. It may not be there tomorrow.
