- This is a home video shot on somebody's front porch of a young Dickey Betts jamming on a blues number. The date I have on it is 1974. The location is listed is Germany, but I have my doubts on that. Still a very rare cool clip! Take a minute and check it out.

Saw Dickie and GS play a snowbound blizzard show for fifteen or so of us in Northern Virginia about twenty some years back, they played it like a private party, for two hours. Played hard, any song they or we wanted to hear or play. Hung out with us, danced and jammed. The best show I've ever seen. What a great dude, and everyone in the band was into it and awesomely cool. It was a great party. I'll never ever forget.

RIP Dickey, you taught me so much... Rest easy
Dickey gets absolutely no respect from so called classic rock experts. He never shows up on their "best" lists. He is an American treasure!
What lists? Last time I checked some, and its been some years, he was in just about everybody's top 100. I can't see that changing much. I think Dickie is top notch. I think people know hes good and respect him, he just doesn't get talked about at all. Im sure he dont care. Maybe it has something to do with the fact theres really no drama in his personal history outside of the band that really went public. Im just finding it hard to believe hes been bumped outta every list. I bet hes still in Guitar Players and Rolling Stones top 100, unless you don't consider them relevant.
You are absolutely right he does not get the respect he deserves.
@@bluecollar825 No hate on Dickey but he did get kicked out of the ABB and for good reason. Drugs and alcohol. I have seen him with the ABB and he was great. I also seen him in a small club in my hometown many years ago and the show was terrible. He was jacked up on either alcohol or drugs or both. It was the worst show I have ever seen. It was so bad I confronted him face to face and told him so. He was just so out of it. I left the show very sad. He was my idle and that night it seemed like he was washed up. I am happy to see through RUclips he continues to play and make great music. He is talented artist and I hope all the issues are behind him. I still love his music and wish him the best. I wish I would have been more kind that night so many years ago, he obviously was going through something.
He gets short shrift because he survived. But, he got his long life. Can't complain too much!
@@mtadams2009 He probably doesn't remember it.
Playing a tune -T for Texas, from the Father of Country Music,the Singing Brakeman,Jimmie Rodgers,also called the Blue Yodeler.
didn't Rodgers also call this tune "Blue Yodel #.."?
The chap in the middle in the white t-shirt is Bob Harris from England. He was making a feature on American Southern Rock for a BBC TV programme called The Old Grey Whistle Test, and I saw this clip on TV back in the 70s. He interviewed Dickey Betts, who talked, among other things, about Robert Johnson's guitar technique and played Crossroads Blues, if I remember right.
whispering Bob! Annoying little Brit.

He's doing a tune here from the Jimmie Rodgers catalog who was the Father of Country Music. Dickie is playing the Style of Jimmie Rodgers,too.
Whispering Bob!!!!
As soon as his solo hits you're in heaven it's so pretty what a unique trademark sound.
Dickie shows that he has totally understood and Incoporated the influence of Jimmy Rogers! Tone, timing, phrasing all spot on.
I been on a little bit of an ABB and Dickie binge here recently and I noticed he brings Rogers name up alot. Tbh, Ive never heard too much of his music. Obviously it would probably serve me some good to investigate some. 🤔
@Dr Rock hell yeah lol. I eased up since that post but in the midst of that stretch I luckily stumbled across a really good ABB tribute band in my hometown called Revival. Fun stuff!👍🎶✌
Rest in heavenly peace Dickey ❤️
Saw him play at the Park West in Chicago back in the day.
Dickey has the groove in his voice. As soon he starts singing the song starts swinging.
A very young Dickey Betts. So cool!
Thank for this. May he RIP.
That was cool 👍
Dickey can sing Jimmie Rodgers like no other.
Frickin amazing. Dickey doing jimmy. Thanks for posting.
Man, he’s got roots!
If you truly want to see what a great player Dickey was go and watch "The Allman Bros live a Great Woods" with Warren Haynes. The interplay between these two great guitar players is like nothing you've ever seen!
Dickey is the greatest....
He could do it all!! Sing, play, write hits and play classics
Rock On
Thank you
Omg thank you. Im dickey starved anything is loved and appreciated VERY COOL!!!!!
How sweet the sound♥️
To bad he didn’t do a full recording of jimmy rogers songs. That was great.
Authentic. At his best, Dickey was a good as anyone.Sad not to see him at the final hows with the ABB
That’s Whispering Bob Harris BBC legend
i've been to the cabin in the woods outside Macon....long, long , time ago.
DNB DNB what was it like?
Is it still there
PRICELESS.........WOW, Thank you so much for posting this GEM 🎸💚
Kind of like Long Time Gone... but hey, all songs are related to each other. Great clip, very talented man.
He's a fan of Hank Williams Sr! My dads fav singer! Great yodel too! 💖
This is Blue Yodel #10 Jimmie Rodgers not Hank Sr but both are still legends
@@jamesdean4972he never said it was Hank
God DAMN! Dickey's the Real Deal.
hes an American!
RIP

You don't get great not knowing and Dickey Betts always knows.
Dang Dang Dang GodBlessLovePeaceToAllNations
He has my Repect , The People Repect , that s the best
Dickey's lead is a taste of things to come.
things gone by
This is cool indeed! I never knew Dickie could yodel so well. And the toe-tappin Adidas sneakers, I'm sure I had a pair back then. Thanks so much for this post - it puts the mega- success of the Allman Brothers in perspective, that Dickie could be doing something so simple, wholesome and "homey" at the same time the band was killin' the charts and popular music scene.

Very cool. Thanks for posting.
Dont ever ever think you can out do a man who plays the guitar with scars on his face.
I have played for 25 years and I;ve heard many guitarist.
All of the best locals guitarist play like him.
I think joe walsh is one of the best too if you ever heard just play on an acoustic,his got little things he will throw into the song and his style is very versatile.
Cool! Great singing, even does the "hey hey" 😀
Pass the moonshine.
Professor Time is there any hash left?
Cal El Lol yeahhh
Amen!
Great viedo..
Sounds like the country jimmy rogers
. Man anyone who knows anything about american guitarist knows dickeys the shite.
How can u play all over the world for 50 plus years and not be a household name.
Man everywhere i go in all 4 corner of north america. People know the allmans and they know every single member by name.
God bless dickey you rocked us all for a half a century.
Its hard for me to realize i wont get to go see them anymore.
They were a mainstay for a long long time. I seen him and dan toller smoke the house man long before warren and derik

This is from a BBC Old Grey Whistle Test Special ' Macon Whoopee ' 1976 Capricorn Picnic.
Yep, the Whoopee were our Ice hockey team back then. That was the year I graduated from High School, in Macon... This was probably shot at Phils farm.
How great is this !
Yes, this is from the Macon Whoopee video. I think the whole show is out here too with live performances at the annual Capricorn cookout.
Man! That's one cookout I would loved to have been at! Thanks for stopping by.
This is super cool 👍
wow,thank you soooooo much for posting this,very very cool !!!
Thank you!
The man had REAL roots.
Ol' whistlin' Bob Harris, love Dickey Betts.
Dickie Betts Southern Bro !!!!!
sweet lil' tune and solo. Thanx for posting.
Man, I’m wishing like hell he and Bill Monroe could have jammed
Doing an old Jimmie Rodgers song! 👏👏👏👏👏 I'll miss you Dickie
He and his son Duane are exact images at this age.
Magic!
Pretty cool .. thanks so much ;-)
It's Bob Harris from the BBC's Southern Rock special
It was called "Macon Whoopie" if i recall.
Thanks for the info on that. I'll go check it out.
this rules!
Gold
I was five in 74.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Yodel-a-eehoo Yodel-a-eehoo
Yodel-a-ee
Hey Jack! I was 20 in '74!
Dicky!!!!
Nice. Am I hearing some Hank Williams influence in his vocals? Oh no ... I see from the comments here that the influence is from Jimmy Rodgers.
This is not a home video... it is from a tv special called "the old grey whistle test" macon whoopee... the porch is Dickey's cabin at the time just outside Macon.
the full show can be found by searching old grey whistle test macon whoopee
Doin the Jimmy Roger's sounds good hey,hey,
Richard Rockstar
Looks like something out of Deliverance, to be honest.
Real music
Cool. From back when Adidas ruled the world!
Kind of scary how much he and Duane (son) look alike at that age...
Great footage, is there more to this video?
This guy Dickey what a good unrated players....anyone play best
This is actually from a movie, although I don't know which one.
May the ancestors keep you cloaked in peace forevermore thank you from the soul for the music DB☆
Blue Sky left him by this time.
Definitely the class act. Too bad he didn't collaborate with Janice Joplin.
lil limp dickie betts was 1 of the best 🔥
Geepers, there is only one left from the original band, Jaimoe, rest in peace Dickey!!! Thank you all for the great music, Eat a Peach!
Song ?
Not a private home video, its from BBC Doc
until the BBC bought the home video
Is that Bob Harris sitting between them, the one in the white trainers?
S. Flavius Mercurius I must confess, I don't know.
That is Roger Gurling of the band Wet Road.
John Kreese / sdcb27 -Thanks for the info. Looks pre 1974. Would you know... Is that in the doc?
It sure looks like Mike Lawler (keyboardist/synthesizerist who joined the band during their 1979-1982 suckfest era)
+Matthew Lewis I thought it looked like Lawler too..
Who is playing guitar with him?
I think that’s at the farm
Dickey had voice and developed the penatonic scale and harmonies so widely used
Dickey can sure yodel
..
Idlewild
Delete this: Yeah, as Dickey yelled at Chuck Leavell to quit playing all "those g...d... space chords - I'm just a country boy." Right. The hippest country boy to ever grab him a Les Paul! Love me some Dickey Betts.
Adidas have been around for a while I guess
Founder Adolf Dassler
Headquarters Herzogenaurach, Germany
Founded July 1924; 95 years ago (as Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik)
Renamed 18 August 1949; 70 years ago (as Adidas)
@@626postie thankyou
@@626postie Yup and his brother started Puma iirc.
Does anyone know who the two other gentlemen are? Looks like a great time in the making!
I can tell you who the other two guys are. the guy in the middle is Bob Harris from the BBC and the other one is me. My name is Joe English and I was staying at the farm house at Idlewild South at the time. One of Dickey's longtime friends Sid Yochim had formed a band that consisted of David Warsaw on drums and Stray Stratton on bass who had played on Dickey's Highway Call album and myself on Pedal Steel and lead guitar. Dickey came by the farm house that morning and asked me to play guitar with him for the interview. We did several songs but some were edited out. I grew up in Daytona Beach and knew Duane and Gregory Allman back in the younger years even before the Allman Joys days when they were the Escorts, back in the mid teen years. I got to know Dickey in the late 60s through Joe Dan Petty from Grinder's Switch. We were in a band together around that time in Jacksonville, Florida when Dickey and Berry were in The Second Coming. I could write a book but I won't.
@@joeenglish5876 Thanks Joe! You have a very cool history! Best wishes.
Dickie has a great voice. Although, I feel he would've. killed it if he'd gone the Nashville way. Don't get me wrong, definetly great with ABB, but seems Nashville is where he belonged.🍄
YES!!! I AGREE, AND HAVE SAID THE VERY SAME THING MANY TIMES MYSELF. HE ALSO COULD HAVE GONE TO HOLLYWOOD, AND WOULD HAVE KILLED THEM IN WESTERNS, AND ANYTHING COUNTRY IN T.V. AS WELL! HE HAS IT ALL! VOICE, FACE, AND CHARISMA!!!
Their biggest commercial hit was basically a country song written and sung by Dickey.
After he played his song he kicked his dog.
He kicked his pretty mama,
him and the dog went fishin' .
He doesn’t get respect because he was mean and treated people like shit I’m not talking out a line I’ve seen it firsthand
it's a shame that he spent all those years with the Allman Brothers for nothing
WTF's that meant to mean ?
James Wolfe : dumb ass thing to say
Hes only worth 40 million, not to shabby my friend.
