    Dickey Betts is no doubt one of Rock and Rolls greatest guitarists and composers. Rock and Roll lives forever, there is no greater genre of music on earth! I am grateful to have seen the Allman Brothers in concert at Pine Knob music theater in Michigan in 1978.

      No doubt about it!
      Dickie carried the torch all the time in my opinion!
      Duane was an unbelievable guitarist but he didn’t write music.
      Dickie is one of the best!!

      It's also that Dickey Betts told stories with his music and took us on journeys....... so it was just a different experience. There are few songs that are journeys but there are some like Starship Trooper by Yes.

    I saw Dickey and Great Southern in 1977 at Winterland in San Francisco. It was a phenomenal performance. Dickey played all the tracks I loved and still love including this track. Great dual guitars with Dan Toler alongside. I have very vivid memories of that show.

    • @broncobrian2344
      @broncobrian2344 Před 2 měsíci

      Underrated is the most overused word on the internet. Go on any music video and someone is crying about someone being underrated. Dickie is one of the all time great and is acknowledged as such. He makes Rolling Stones 100 greatest guitastist every year. The rock and roll world is rightful in mourning, but you think he is underrated.

    That's it in this video, that's what I have always aspired to play like, when the electric guitar sounds like an electric violin. I m always trying to get that effect in my lead playing. Dickey is using his pinky finger to swell the volume control and has predetermined where the volume pot should be before he starts doing it. And he will raise the volume just a bit at the end of a phrase to punctuate it then bring it back down. He was a master at it.

  • @jfredknobloch
    @jfredknobloch Před měsícem +1

    I don’t know who the other guitar player is, but he’s really good first of all!… But he does play an awfully like Dickie sort of thing.
    Having opened for great Southern back in the day (1975? 76?), I can tell you that the tenor of the gig was not happy happy joy, joy! But they were good and pros and that was cool being exposed to it so early.
    Dickie would always reach for that harmonic minor thing and it very often worked so wonderfully!… I saw him play with Duane three times and when they missed something was the only time they ever looked at each other after the song started.
    The only other bands I ever saw like that were Little Feat and The Count Basie Orchestra. But it never slowed them down… It was like yeah! Go ahead and try that!
    That’s what’s great about Music…

      Be respectful about talking about Rose Hill cemetery,both of the Allmans and Berry Oakley are buried there. The story about the sexual encounter is an urban myth. The song is actually a tribute to Miles Davis.
