😩😩😩

Dickey was the best. 👍

Here celebrating Dickies life ❤

Kissimmee Kid lives on forever!

saw Dan with the Allmans and with Gregg. he was a great player.

Great players we sure miss them never a band like them!

Me and my buddies saw Dangerous Dan countless times with Greg solo and with ABB starting back in the early 80's in NY. Saw him in clubs on Long Island and NYC and at arenas and sheds and everywhere they played. Huge Dan Toler fans!

Brenda. Please pass it along to your sister. This concert is most amazing and my favorite go to when I want to hear great music.

Legends

Thank you so much for producing it.

I can't thank you enough for this well-produced gem. All my favourite Allman classics. They never get old.

Great work my man!

@@markmcguckin3493 Thank you, Mark. It was a special day. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

Great job! sounds excellent through my big and properly amplified Klipsch speakers.

Saw him open for Hank Jr once in west Palm Beach fla. He can bend them strings, that's for sure, all of those guys were exceptional.!!

fo sho fo sho

I’m almost 68 , I fully understand. It’s so much of our DNA .

I missed the 90’s and early 2000’s working and raising kids. It’s easy to do.

Dickey Betts was always the best guitarist in the group. Yes, even better than Duane 😊

So good and so great! - Scott

Back in the day before all the people came ! 😊🎣♥️🙏🐟

❤ Amen ❤

Your parents thought there music was better and yours was trash. Your kids think theres is better. It's just a bias we all deal with.

I’ve heard that theory….. wrong…. 60’s and 70’s music was transformative… it changed music and society in ways good and bad. Music today is just regurgitating of last pop song … over and over.

Hard to believe only Jaimoe is left from the original ABB. RIP to all that have left us and also those who did play with the ABB such as the Toler Brothers.

Dang! Just learned (from your post) Dickey's gone.

September '47 here, glad I heard it all when it was new. Can't believe they're all gone now. Thanks to all who made it reappear on the 'tube in 2024.

almost?it's tears of joy

Man sounds just like me I'm 62 I have been to Starwood Municipal Auditorium Bridgestone Arena the fairgrounds always cooler full of beer hello to smoke so many people yes the all-around fun time

I'm with you, brother! I SO want to go back to that time, if only for a few days!

fuck dude, nowadays, you're spending guaranteed at least $50 if you want to drink at a concert. Live Nation is bullshit. I hate them for what they have done to the live music scene. Seeing a good band now is like a $200 investment at minimum.

@@kind2311 amen

Fuck yes it does

ok boomer

same here at 65

Yes

That’s the way it seems to go with the greats. As you get better, they get better.

We are here friend. feeling like you do. :)

I'm Russian, and I do feel those emotions every time I listen to ABB!!!

I’m 69, I remember ! 🌸🇺🇸

Grew up in Melbourne, FL in the 80/90s, pops always had them on. Great tunes to grow to.

A true blues master!

oh yeah, underrated lol right, sure and Allman Brothrs are also unknown, what BS.

I know everybody loved Duane and with good reason - but Dickie and Foler have nothing to apologize for, and they BROUGHT IT 37:54

Foler ain't no pissant neither

shitty crowd. they were going nuts, and the folks are standing still lol.

Totally agree with these replys! The times outside. Bring my blanket carry my guitar, lie on the beach at Walden Pond with Thoreau in the pines! People you could trust, folks to love in their lives, if ever forever, to learn and dig what's, head for a highway to Stockbridge with Arlo! No cell phones, just talking together, no Facebook, being with others. To live, with my poetry and my songs, with Kris Kristoferson and Dylan, Joan Baez and John Prine. Country music and Coltrane and Brubeck, as jazz and the notes spiral down inward. Live it and love it forever!

Similar age exactly the same sentiments cheers man

@@martynspooner5822 You too!

My dad was in his 80's and quite often when I would visit him which I did very often being a sentimental guy like myself I sometimes would talk about back in the day. I can still hear my dad saying "Bill, where did it all go?". Life is just a spark in time and then its over.

@@wildbill5670 Absolutely. Seems like yesterday I was hunting buff in Tanzania. It was 2007. I can still smell the place. The Selous Game Reserve, then paradise on earth.

Where did it go 20 years I don't know I sit wonder sometimes where it's gone. 65 now and crying memories can be reminder"s head up Fred we lived to see all of this and had a ball doing it. Thank You Lord for letting me live long enough to have the best music ever made.

Me too!

They are the best, we had the best music in the 70's!!!🎸💜🎶🎤🎹

Same here!

What a great time this was!

No need to use our Lord's name in vain, Allman Brothers are a great band tho.

We had no idea how lucky we were!

@@unitedguy62 And now you push masks and needles on little kids and tell them to lock themselves in their house or they're going to die. Shut your fucking vile mouth your coward, we are lucky now, they are just fear mongering child abusers who push pornography and filth 24/7.

Saw them so many times, we lost count. This was their best. Outside in the Florida sunshine loving it! Miss them all so much! ❤️

started off with "Jessica" aswell

Actually it wasn't a once in a lifetime show. As they did tbis sort of thing ALLLLL the time back then. They'd have free concerts in the park in Macon or wherever it was they were playing that time. The Brothers LOVED playing and did so any chance they could, whether it be paid admission concerts or free ones at the park, etc...

I saw the Dickey Betts band in Boston ..dont remember the year ...but it was at this nightclub called The Channel...the band finished ...and me and my brother were finishing up our last drink smoking a cigarette....out of this side door ...I assume a dressing room...walks Dickey Betts...he says ..Hey man...can I get a smoke of ya?...Shit ya.I light him a smoke...the three of us just standing there....Dickey says hey thanks man...walks away....My brother says to me...I thought you like Dickey Betts...You didnt say a word to him....I told him Dickey Betts is my idol...Then why didn't you say anything to him,,,,?.......I tried but I couldn't talk I was so starstruck left me speechless....true story

@@AndyBigDaddyWilkinson That's a real moment ;D Nice !!!

I was sooo fortunate to know Dickie and Berry BEFORE ABB. Their Second Coming Band was just awesome! I knew they wouldn’t be in Sarasota much longer! I was right! They were that good!😅🎉❤

Props to the bass player. Lays it down. Keeos it down.

I was down here in Orlando at UCF and transferred to G'ville in '84.Gradiated in '86. Missed it by That much!

Not absolutely sure if it is on DVD.

Never have seen this anywhere but when I attended this show in '82... and here.@@scottclute7443

Completely concur.

Agreed!

Agreed x2! I was born in '81 and agree wholeheartedly. Even after "hating" this music as a kid. My dad listened to them daily. And each day, I was reminded that I got my middle name the greatest guitar player to ever live, Howard Duane Allman. Back then, it meant nothing to me. I mean, it was the mid 80s. Duane & ABB weren't getting the recognition they get today. And I was a kid. I didn't understand the significance of being named after Skydog. Today, as an adult, I couldn't be prouder to be named after Duane. I'll brag about it to anyone who will listen, TBH 😆 This may sound weird but ABB has been a huge part of my life from the day I was born. So much so that I feel like Duane is the uncle I never got to meet. I feel that sort of connection to him. You know...kinda like the grandpa that, was killed in the war that, you never met, etc... And today, I play guitar because of Duane. I own a Goldtop because of Duane & Dickey, also. If you can't tell, I love me some Allman Brothers Band 😁❤️🎸 I know my dad is just tickled to death that I love his music now. I actually just got the album that was just released, The Final Note, for him a couple of days ago. When he opens it, I'll copy it to my pc and then to my phone to listen to in the truck. 😁 Ive done it with every other album I bought for him lately. Last one was Bear's Sonic Journals. The Grateful Dead sound guy bootlegged a show they played together and they released it as an album a couple years ago.

amen to that....I saw the ABB in the Boston Garden in 73...dear Jesus....music is dead today

Agreed all the way around.

No one gives a shit

Dan Toler.... you have to be kidding. I'm not a big Dickie Betts fan but he puts Toler away for good

@@johnstevens3329 You should listen to him on the Greg allman stuff. Yes Dickie betts is above him but Dan did a fine job. I mean the solo on this Whipping Post is sensational esp on technique

Completely agree.

I think Dickey and Dan were my two favorites in the lineup post Dwayne Era , their guitar duo's were just damn near perfection personified and they both complimented each other so well ... MAY THE ABB LIVE FOREVER , AMEN !

It’s not a contest it’s music

Nothing to do with the Lord This is reality

God bless you now and always and I couldn't agree with you more. Blessings to you and us all.

Dickie is still here! ;)

🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@neilangus4401 ur a real killjoy u know that

I'm spanish and I was born in 1993. In my opinion Allman Brothers is one of the best bands in the history of rock. Sorry for my bad english.

Yeah the more i find out about the almonds ,im blown away that they did so much in only 3 years .

@@Molina939 I think you did great on your post !!! I first saw The ABB 1970. I was a you Marine at the time, home on leave from NAM, and after that concert I was hooked and still am. At the time, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. They have the ability to fuse blues, country, rock, jazz and soul like nobody else !!! Duane Allman was unreal. That man put every once of his being into his masterful work. No one like him !!!

@@fitepitsnbonfires Which decade do you mean?? I saw them 1970, and 13 times more over their 4 decade career. Their best work was when Duane Allman lead the band !! You need to see their documentary on Netflix's or Hulu. Then you will get a real feel for them and what they where about !!!!

Don’t forget allen

This being in Florida, I'd be willing to be some of my kin are out there as well. I wouldn't trade Florida for any place in God's green Earth.

I hear ya mister!

Joseph - THANK YOU for your service Sir You carried some good memories of ABB with you, I'll bet!

Navy is a good time for all the boys.

Thanks for serving

Thanks for serving...rock on!!!

paractice.....

I been telling people for 43 years this the greatest American band period!

Cool, it's never too late to discover a new pure country, rock, blues sound.

4th Of July in Austin. 3-4yrs Ina row. Late 70s. Always kikass

I too saw many Allman shows in the early 90's. Epic to say the least.

Not possible.

Me either brother

Spoken like a true ramblin' man! Agreed.

You know it Brother

The chorus of lead guitars is incredible. Make it look so effortless.

Little Feat, Rush, The Who, The Cars & Yes are way better, just to name a few. I could go on.

no one asked you, ding dong. you go around in your day to day life making everything a competition? go sniff a butt crack you shit shack.@@jdsalinger73

​@@jdsalinger73no they are not.

PLeeez. You were definitely NOT from this era. How old are you? Nobody can beat Gregg Allman singing, he is the Original Southern Blues. And yes, Dickey Betts one and only. @@jdsalinger73

WELL PUT FRIEND

..... and I was there. Damn I'm getting old. 😆

I was 23. Hate I missed it. Sowega!

I was there snuck in the back what a remarkable concert I was oh man 14 -15 yrs old. I’m 68 now will turn 69 may 2023

I bet it was.

Was lucky enough to be there for this show.
