Perhaps we can all take solace in that Dickey, Duane, Gregg, Berry, & Butch are all jamming together again, upstairs. Bless them all for the music & memories they gave us.
This song has always brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes happy ones others sad. Today is both. Dickie has been a hero of mine for a very very long time. Rest in peace you amazing man.
One of my favorite Dickey Betts Songs loved this version of the ABB. Dickey wrote this song about his time with his ex wife Sandy Bluesky who was Naitive American. He changed some of the wording to make it more appealing to more people. He sang about the Blue Sky rather than a woman he loved. But he new and most diehards know it was about his ex wife. Regardless of that its a beautiful song with Dickey's tone and the meshing of the twin guitars together.
Dickey Betts, Greag and Duane were the best together. I can't imagine life without DIckey Betts writing Blue Sky and all the songs Greg wrote.. Just like Lennon/McCartney
These guys forged a place in history that can never be changed. I grew up listening to these songs .....and 5 decades later we cant get enough of the purity and soulfulness of the greatest band in America......The Allman Brothers Band.
For many years, I connected the Allman Brothers Band to just one song, Midnight Rider, and thought "what's the big deal with this band?" Long story, but I was eventually exposed to the studio recording of Blue Sky. It was a transformative experience - pure magic. And it is still magic every time I hear it. After that, I made a point of listening to more Allman Brothers, and then I understood what the big deal was with this band.
As soon as I heard, let’s find his music, born in 1962 , during the 70s, Allman Brothers band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pure Prairie League, Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker, etc. southern country, believe it or not I saw a lot of these bands down on Cape Cod, Massachusetts at the Cape Cod Colosseum. Rest in peace, dickey Betts ❤ we are all better people today for you in our lives.
Dickey Betts never stood in Duane's shadow because Duane realized how great Dickey is. Any Allman Brothers fan knows that the lineup with Dickey is always better.
Dickey is great but they certainly were a better band with both Dickey and Duane on guitar and with Gregg singing. Dickey was not Duane's replacement they were both Great and better together than apart.
Duane started the band and was definitely the driving force but after he died Dickie kept it going and was a damn good song writer. If it weren't for him I would have never gotten the chance to see The Allman Brothers. It really tears me up to watch him struggle today. Incredible musician
Duane And Dickey actually started ABB. They were Tight and Duane wanted him with him. The Irony? Dickey insisted to Duane that they Needed Gregg as their singer!!
We've Never Framed Up A House Without Listening Whiles To The Allman Brothers Band! Fox! Rock's Czar Nailgun! Jesus On The Cross! Are Oui Trying To SPEAK!
Back in the Day.. It was the Allman Brothers and when Duane passed.. It was a very sad loss..But Spirit was so very Kind to us that ,,. the Show must go on.. Spirit turned us on to replace Duane with Warren.. Wow can't even amalgamation of trying to fill those Shoe's! What a Fanatic job He did for the Allman Brothers Band.. I Thank Spirit and Warren .. The Show must go on!! Even Dusty Hill told ZZ Top to keep on playing. Thank you for this Awesome video
Sorry I never saw Dwayne. Before my time. As it was for many of you. I did have the pleasure of seeing this version of the ABB and I can say this was the best besides for the original. Dickey was special.
You are correct my friend Warren can hang with any one when it comes to the slide. Mr Betts is a guitar god . If you think of a true rock star ,that would be Mr.Betts
Warren Haynes is a monster player and a voice to match the monster guitar skills,...he and Derek trucks will be sorely missed as Allman Brothers,....thank God for Government Mule and The Derek Trucks Band!
Dickey is one of the greatest rhythm players ever. No doubt about it. His rhythm playing is really what makes his solos so great because even they themselves are extremely rhythmic as well. Dickey is one of the few players that could play a 3 minute solo that you can hum every note to for years to come. So melodic it's insane.
From watching these videos, they never play this, or just about anything else, the same way twice, on purpose, I am sure, but they are always great. They always leave me shaking my head, in wonder.
agree, missed out on Duane, but saw a couple of shows at the beacon during this period. mind-blowing. don't forget Gregg. he was a survivor. RIP Brothers...
I knew Dickey Betts was one of the best Guitarist but after watching this video I have found greater respect for his playing, Top Notch! I just can’t see him taking backseat to anyone on lead guitar he may not be the best but the class he is in it don’t take long to call the roll!!

We're all here for one reason..
part of the soundtrack of our lives.
Dickey Betts leaves us with an example of a brilliant lifetime of music making. We are all better for it!
Dickey is now the Ramblin Man in the Blue Sky. RIP, sir.
Warren fits perfectly with the band.
Absolutely

Don't be silly.

Rest in peace you amazing man.
RIP, Dickey Betts.
Blue Sky’s all around Dickey, thanks for the music - you’ll be missed.
R.I.P.🤍🤍🤍
I used to sing this to my young son when he was dying. He miraculously survived and it still brings tears to my eyes to hear it. Thank you Dickie.

Don’t forget about the original bassist Berry Oakley, too ❤
@@KittyGrizGrizYep, along with Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Johnson...
Goodbye Dickie. We love you.
RIP Dickey.. Thank You 💙
This song makes me feel like I'm 16 again in 1972.
They're not just a band,they're a Southern Tradition.🇺🇸
Godspeed Dickey Betts!

To see the live footage of the 3 playing Mellisa , so young and very beautiful.
Thank you Dickie, your music will never be forgotten.
Who in the hell would give this a thumbs down?
Bob Rennegarbe drunk happy bros
I’ll give it a thumbs up and cancel out the thumbs down
Commies.....
Fuck the thumbs down peeps , that's right I said it !
That person deserves no thumbs.
Doesn't get any better than Dickey Betts !!
Dwayne was pretty good too

@@brianwilliams3657 Duane
He'll yeah.
😢this from a 64 yr old rocker. I have known allman bros music just now really appreciate it more. This may be the best song ever recorded. .
This is a prime tone recording of BlueSky.
Allman Bros in all variations: the best rock band in history. Just wish one video would shout out to the bass players.
RIP Barry Oakley
True shit
This song live was transcendent
That's some guitar playing right there!
If I had a $100 bill for every time I saw Warren playing a Strat, I'd have $100.
Dickey is now reunited with his Brothers. There's a helluva jam going on in heaven today.
Always loved this lineup. Greg, Dicky, Butch and company with Warren and late great Allan Woody.
Just a Great Southern Rock Band !!!! Hands Down The BEST !!!!
Years ago Dickey played my hometown with his solo band, and I got to interview him. Wonderful, charming, soft-spoken - I'll never forget it!
i love the phrasing of dickey betts. i never heard guitarist had this melodious licks.
One of my favorite band allmam brothers
Duane started the band and was definitely the driving force but after he died Dickie kept it going and was a damn good song writer.
If it weren't for him I would have never gotten the chance to see The Allman Brothers.
It really tears me up to watch him struggle today.
Incredible musician
He s amazing and he would be better in a cowboy movie than clint eastwood
Duane And Dickey actually started ABB. They were Tight and Duane wanted him with him.
The Irony?
Dickey insisted to Duane that they Needed Gregg as their singer!!
@@genesmith8627 never heard that. I think Duane always would have wanted Gregg singing lead and writing songs for his (their) band.

Doesn't get any better , Dickey Betts the Grestest guitarist hands down..🎶🎸🎵🎼❤️
That freaking Betts tone, good lord that's from another planet.
One of the best ever! Rip! 🎸❤️🤘
This is what music is supposed to sound like. Raw talent. Long may you run.
What a guitar player.Dicky is on a class of his own.

Dickey Betts thanks so much.
Nothing but Blue Skies from on here .
Sorry I never saw Dwayne. Before my time. As it was for many of you. I did have the pleasure of seeing this version of the ABB and I can say this was the best besides for the original. Dickey was special.
Great Version. Warren amazing slide player and Dickey was at his best during this period....
You are correct my friend Warren can hang with any one when it comes to the slide. Mr Betts is a guitar god . If you think of a true rock star ,that would be Mr.Betts
Man can Warren belt out the harmonies! Love it!
Band is pretty good, I give them a 9, you can dance to it, might go places....
Blue Sky ......No other song sings the South like it.....
Neither a blue sky nor this song ever gets old...
RIP, Dickie Betts. jammin' with the Brothers again, filling the Heavens with southern rockin' blues.
I never get tired of hearing that song, can't imagine what they could have accomplished if Duane was still alive. RIP
Dickie Betts R.I.P. thanks for the music. I grew up with you and the Allman Bros. Thanks to K-SHE/95,real rock radio for playing you all .
My favorite ski song, especially on a powder day!!
One of the best guitar players!! Rip
Man could he play..what a talent rip dickey
The 2nd best line up besides the original!! Peace of mind in these troubling times.
Oh, heavenly father. please bless Dickey, Butch and Warren. They've brought us so much joy.
RIP Dickey Betts.. Making a great addition to the great band in the stars playing the music of the cosmos! Rest Easy
RIP Dickey ❤
Warren Haynes is a monster player and a voice to match the monster guitar skills,...he and Derek trucks will be sorely missed as Allman Brothers,....thank God for Government Mule and The Derek Trucks Band!
Tedeschi Trucks Band
@@larryn2682 Love me someJust Won't Burn by Susan Tedeschi!
Doesn't matter what we think. Dicky is a natural and one of the greatest. God i wish I could play like him.
the best one two guitar combo music has ever seen!!!
Incredible solos!
The rhythm stuff dickey is doing behind hayne’s first slide solo is magical
Dickey is one of the greatest rhythm players ever. No doubt about it. His rhythm playing is really what makes his solos so great because even they themselves are extremely rhythmic as well. Dickey is one of the few players that could play a 3 minute solo that you can hum every note to for years to come. So melodic it's insane.
@@SimpleManGuitars1973absolutely agree. It is magic to behold.
Love Dickey.Awesome guitar 🎸
Glad warren is still around
Best ABB lineup since the original band. Dickey, Warren and Allan Woody
Happy Birthday Dickey!
Godspeed Dickey Betts
Dickey, you'll be missed. Such an awesome talent. Glad I got to see you several years ago!
Bett's guitar skills are God-given, one of the very best that ever was.
lastdaysguitar his voice ain’t bad either
Can anybody argue with that one ☝️?
the good die young
@@rayhewett1042 Dickey is 76, and still kicking.
My God.. I'm just blown away every time. ⭐⭐⭐
What a jam! Doesn't get much better than this...
RIP Mr. Betts
This what southern rock is .The first one and the best .
Such a GREAT song!
RIP Dickey. Thanks for the amazing Jive. Soar now brother. 🎸👍
Damn Dickey beautiful as usual, RIP good sir 🙌🎸🔥❤️💔
From watching these videos, they never play this, or just about anything else, the same way twice, on purpose, I am sure, but they are always great. They always leave me shaking my head, in wonder.
Massachusetts man loves southern rock!!
Same here!!
Still in my mind, the best LIVE band ever!
The real sound of their soul .
Dickies voice is the soul of country rock as does his guitar
dickie betts doesn't get enough credit great musician and kept the band going
Navigatormonkey:
The line-up with Warren and Allen Woody lasted from 89-96 and contains some of the best, most inspired playing from Dickey and Warren
Actually 1997. Warren and Allen left the band after the 1997 Beacon run.
Besides the original band, that was my favorite lineup.
agree, missed out on Duane, but saw a couple of shows at the beacon during this period. mind-blowing. don't forget Gregg. he was a survivor. RIP Brothers...
This talented group had all the energy
Love what Dickey does at 2:09
RIP, Dickey
Dickey Betts = Tremendous Talent
Water is wet.
No. DB = Mastery.
@@christiancamlin13 No, it is not. When water touches something that something becomes wet.
They sounded really nice in the early 1990's... could have done with another four years of that line-up and quality.
DarkeningSkies1 yea seen them in 94 amazing lineup..
Best time since Duane
Warren a young gun slinger lettin it fly, I think this when he was on top of his game, with Allen Woody who in his own right was a phenom.
I knew Dickey Betts was one of the best Guitarist but after watching this video I have found greater respect for his playing, Top Notch! I just can’t see him taking backseat to anyone on lead guitar he may not be the best but the class he is in it don’t take long to call the roll!!
This is a good version but the live performance in Germany around the same time is smokin' hot
One of my favorites. Dickey’s skills are just amazing. Warren is no slouch either, but Dickey just owns it.
yea they really vibe out and let loose on that one.
where/when was this performance?
@@christophershelton8155 ruclips.net/video/I54zDoRi8KE/видео.html
Looks like Saturday Night Live.
I feel my youth was taken away with the loss of Dickey Betts
Tears
Rip Dickey Betts!
RIP Dickey Betts
