This is my recording, from my Artisan Mobile remote truck behind the stage on a gorgeous winter’s day in Gainesville, FL. I haven’t seen or heard this in almost 40 years. I recorded to 24 track 2” tape and did not participate in any post production. I do know it was made into an RCA video disc so I’m assuming there was a remix. RUclips keeps surprising me with my work from long, long ago.
When Gregg Allman Passed away, someone awesome put his Picture on a Billboard on Highway 41 in Acworth, Georgia. it said "REST IN PEACE MIDNIGHT RIDER". I took a few pictures of it.
Ohhhh..just cried on this 😢. So awesome...its amazing how their music touched us all ..feel so fortunate to have grown up on these tunes & many others ❤ GRITS..GIRLS RAISED IN THE SOUTH ❤ RIP
I am Dan Toler's sister in law Brenda. I am his wife's Debby's sister. I just happened across this concert on my phone. We all miss Dan Frankie and Greg very much. God bless everyone!
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!
I'm 61 and when I watch this it almost brings tears to my eyes. I'm blessed to have live through this period. I never saw the ABB but I remember this style of concert. Lawn seats, bring your cooler, walk around and chat with complete strangers before the show. Everybody laid back and just diggin' life. I used to go to an outdoor concert venue when I was in Jr. High and High School. You could take a cooler in. We'd get there early, lay out our blankets, grab a beer and chill. We'd wander around and run into so many other people we knew. We'd stop and party with them for a while. They'd grab your a fresh beer out of their cooler and you'd move on. Just so much fun. The days we thought would never end. We truly lived in a blessed time and I'll never take it for granted.
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
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.
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.
RIP the five members of The Allman Brothers Band Dickey Betts (December 12, 1943 - April 18, 2024), aged 80 Duane Allman (November 20, 1946 - October 29, 1971), aged 24 Butch Trucks (May 11, 1947 - January 24, 2017), aged 69 Gregg Allman (December 8, 1947 - May 27, 2017), aged 69 Berry Oakley (April 4, 1948 - November 11, 1972), aged 24 You will be remembered as legends
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.
Hi friends and relations and sound folks - The guys were cooking back then, despite their misfortune and grief. Dickie and Foler were the bomb - and dare I say undervalued? So grateful to have these videos to watch at 70. ✌🏻
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.
Sitting out back listening to this and having a beer under a perfect Blue Sky. I bet there’s a lot of us doing that tonight. Rest easy Dickey, you did it really really well.
@@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.
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...

Seen the ABB several times throughout the late, late '70s and beyond... my only regret is to never have seen Duane live slidin' up and down that axe! There is no better band than ABB as far as I'm concerned... Peace!
Jesus, I came here to watch them perform Jessica and I ended up watching this whole gig. WOW!! What a band!! The best Whipping Post I've ever heard!!!!!!!
@@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
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 !
I went to this concert. I was 13 years old. Man, this made an impression on me as a young person really getting into music at the time. Made a huge impression on me as a musician. This is how it's done. Incredible. Rest in peace,Dicky. You blew me away that day. Still do.
Dickie Betts was a national treasure! His music has a natural feel to it that is so warm and heart felt. There is nothing but joy and love of music that comes from his writing and playing. We owe him a great wave of thanks for his creations and his life in music. Rest in the joy that you will be sorely missed by everyone you touched with your life and your music....
Dickey Betts was a superb guitarist. His sound was the result of a very highly skilled and nuanced technique that was rare, and he made it look so easy. He created his sustain with an unusually clean and warm tone from those Marshalls. Truly special.
@@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 !!!!
@@pauljordan4452 Go get a copy of live at the Fillmore !!! It has always been one, if not the best. It also has Duane Allman doing what he did SO WELL !!! And, NO ONE can do him justice, like he does for himself !!!
Was thinking the same thing! I have the original double LP of Live at the Filmore. Awesome. The garbage that passes for music these days, guess I'm just getting old!
@@bluzzjazz No Brother you are not Just getting older !!! Your just enjoying the Best that Music has ever had to offer. A time when all mucians worked to make Music Real and Enjoyable for all. The music today is fake and jumps around trying to influence a small section of people. Back in our day anyone could listen to the music and feel the Love Vibrations. Happy Listening !!!!
What an awesome concert and beautiful day. Another great concert at the UF Bandshell on Lake Alice with my friends. Senior year at UF and I remember it like it was yesterday. RIP Dickey Betts, my homeboy from Bradenton; you will be missed.
I was at this concert and it was incredible. There was nothing like the pure, raw energy of the sweet sound of the Allman Brothers on a beautiful, bright and sunny, cool day in January, at Florida’s major party school. Such good times.
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!
Hard to believe almost all if these souls have caught the bus on out of here. They have added so much joy to my life. The Lord has given us so much. Grateful for every day.
Well I'm 70 and first saw them in '70 in Melbourne, FL. Best damn southern band ever! Duane Allman was a master slide guitarist and I was mesmerized by his guitar technique. Those were the daze my friends...✌Peace!✌👍
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
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!😅🎉❤
I worked at Paragon Agency in Macon, Georgia....The Allman Brothers were the best country rock band ever in my opinion....great talent came out of Macon, Georgia
Its on DVD......I was at this show ..... it was a free show @ UF in Gainesville, FL....., it was a beautiful day....about 15,000 ppl. A good time was hadby all!
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.
I was there in January 16th 82 . 25 then - now 67 years old . Seems like yesterday in so many ways . If you live in bliss - life is a flash ! Favourite band along with the Rolling Stones . Best concert band ever (Allman Brothers ) . Played 5 1/2 hours routinely ......

I wasn't even born when this show took place, but good music transcends generations. It's amazing how good music can stand the test of time and continue to resonate with people, regardless of when they were born.
grew up with these guys their music, in the late 1960´s, we were teenagers, but fel in love with this southern USA rockmusic! My younger brother (died 9 years ago) saw them in Holland / Hilversum live, I was´nt in the position to go, I still regret that, R.I P. Dicky, thank God we have still your excellent guitarplay and your music in social media and on tape!!
40 years ago this was amazing, today it’s superb , and 40 years from now it will be breathtaking . Oh how we long for the simpler times. We are blessed to have experienced them.
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
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
Gainesville the best place in the world for a concert, and the best band for that show. Dicky has control of that instrument. The way he effortlessly goes from rhythm to the lead part is so smooth. He makes it look easy.
I don’t think many people realize just how much influence Jerry Garcia had on his sound. You can definitely hear that Garcia style right at the beginning.
i saw the Allman Brothers many times between 1991 and 2000. one that stands out is a free show at Mississippi State University. they have a natural outdoor amphitheater. Blues Traveler opened the show and John Popper jammed with the Allmans. Amazing watching Warren Haynes and Dickey Betts trying to outduel each other on guitar.
They were all at the top of their Game here-But this truly shows Dickey’s mastery. Greg-Greatest blue eyed blues singer that walked the planet. RIP Butch/Dwayne and Greg. Toler-Smokes that Les Paul as well as the Acoustic in this set!
I was there. Brilliant. Saw them when I was older at Radio City in NY. We smoked weed there. Saw them so many times. Terrific. There is no music like this any more.
I was at the show in Lakeland Florida 5 days after this one. I was 18 yrs old and life was magical, especially when I was at Lakeland Civic Center or Curtis Hixon Hall when music was the best ever! Man I love the Allman Brothers, forgotten legends.
Just saw Duane Betts Band-- Dickie's son, play a few months ago here in CA. He mentioned that Derek Trucks joins him on his next release💖 I love every era of The Allman Bros....🎸
Growing up around Macon Ga in the late seventies and eighties was great fun. Can't name all the great bands I was blessed to see. Southern Rock will never die
Im 75 ,my mom was a classical piano player, my dad a jazz buff, and I grew up with the blues , beach boys, R &B,Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Folk music, the Beatles, rock ,country all the best of all the best .i don't listen to the present bands these days. Allman Brothers were and still kicking ass.
Just pure goodness and love and musical brilliance. So glad this was captured on video with good sound quality. It makes me feel like I was there. God bless the ABB!
If we keep on down the path we're on, there won't be music history, or any other history before this century is out. History requires that there still be humans on the planet.
@@Gregorypeckory Keep your social distance of 6 feet and wash your hands at least 20 seconds frequently. The strong will survive. I read that people with the blood type O are more able to fight off the virus.
Personally I feel like anyone who gave this a thumbs down should have their head examined. It is pure greatness and I envy those who were able to see it live.
The song of freedom ! I don't know where this world is coming at ! Dickey, thanks for the peace, joy, hope and healing You gave us by your music and guitar playing ! Stay safe Dickey !
London calling, oh I wish I had been there...bands of the 70s just killed it ...naturally talented musicians who knew how to perform live ...This bands performance at this gig is superb....no one else could follow this, I want his guitar.... in my dreams...God Bless them for giving us this.....Peace and Love ...xxx
He has: he was instrumental in getting Eric Clapton to record Layla properly. The final version and recording only happened after he was invited to the studio. He is playing on the song (the original version of Clapton when still Derrick and the Dominos)
Check out the song “Dickey Betts” by The Dean Ween Group. A great homage to a great musician. And it was Duane that played the outro slide guitar on Layla.
Please !! :-) He's up there with Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, David Gilmour, Robben Ford, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Neal Schon, Larry Carlton, etc !!!
Only two guitarists I ever wanted to be like: Eric Clapton & Dicky Betts. That's including all the other greats such as Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughn, etc. etc.
2018--I was at this show.....god i miss these old times....drive thru liquor stores, free concerts, peace and music...damn have we went to shit. I was 18....I wanna go back!! RIP Greg
i only use my PC at work at my Security job , my cell is just a Phone , no Net at the farm ,, i live like the 80's and love it ,, drive a 2006 Dodge Caravan and a horse and a 1986 250 big Red ,,, i see people steady on there Cells at the Gym and i mock them cause i can ,,, ,, stay real ,,,, from Ontario Canada ,, farm life all good ,,, and my four dogs ...
Mitakuye Oyasin I’m 45 so I caught the tail end of real rock n roll before this auto tuned mublefuck idiots came on the scene. I would of loved to see these guys!!
I saw Dickey Betts with my Dad and my Brother for my bachelor party... the marriage busted up after 10 years,... but my love for the Allman Brothers continues to grow like a mushroom ;) PURE GOLD!!!
I was born in 1963 and have been privileged to have grown up in an era to have enjoyed the greatest music of any generation and am still listening to it all.

Southern rock is such a wonderful thing. Nothing like all those guitars, piano, blues its got it all.
You don't really understand how much you miss a time in your life until you watch this band 40 years later.
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

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
We are here friend. feeling like you do. :)
I'm Russian, and I do feel those emotions every time I listen to ABB!!!
Just heard the news, we lost Dickey today. Thank you for the music. Rock in Peace brother.

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
Dickey playing the Gibson SG with the slide on Statesboro Blues is awesome. We'll miss you Dickey.
wow, im 19 but love this band. Died on my birthday april 18th... this guy is a legend as much as Duane.
@@rextuller3498 “I'm the famous guitar player, but Dickey's the good one” -Duane
Most concerts on youtube don't sound this good. The sound quality is amazing. I'd buy this if it was an album
Their Woodstock 1994 concert is an album.
@@pauljordan4452 Go get a copy of live at the Fillmore !!! It has always been one, if not the best. It also has Duane Allman doing what he did SO WELL !!! And, NO ONE can do him justice, like he does for himself !!!
That’s the point of the band!
Was thinking the same thing! I have the original double LP of Live at the Filmore. Awesome. The garbage that passes for music these days, guess I'm just getting old!
@@bluzzjazz No Brother you are not Just getting older !!! Your just enjoying the Best that Music has ever had to offer. A time when all mucians worked to make Music Real and Enjoyable for all. The music today is fake and jumps around trying to influence a small section of people. Back in our day anyone could listen to the music and feel the Love Vibrations. Happy Listening !!!!
What an awesome concert and beautiful day. Another great concert at the UF Bandshell on Lake Alice with my friends. Senior year at UF and I remember it like it was yesterday. RIP Dickey Betts, my homeboy from Bradenton; you will be missed.
I was at this concert and it was incredible. There was nothing like the pure, raw energy of the sweet sound of the Allman Brothers on a beautiful, bright and sunny, cool day in January, at Florida’s major party school. Such good times.
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!
Hard to believe almost all if these souls have caught the bus on out of here. They have added so much joy to my life. The Lord has given us so much. Grateful for every day.
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! ;)
🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@bido8176 king gizzard and the lizzard wizzard are really good live
Well I'm 70 and first saw them in '70 in Melbourne, FL. Best damn southern band ever! Duane Allman was a master slide guitarist and I was mesmerized by his guitar technique. Those were the daze my friends...✌Peace!✌👍
I’m 69, I remember ! 🌸🇺🇸
Grew up in Melbourne, FL in the 80/90s, pops always had them on. Great tunes to grow to.
Dickie Betts...What an Guitar Icon...the man is just too cool and so Good! They broke the mold with him!!! Long Live Dickie Betts!!!
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 worked at Paragon Agency in Macon, Georgia....The Allman Brothers were the best country rock band ever in my opinion....great talent came out of Macon, Georgia
I have always loved Allman Brothers. What's even funnier is seeing my dad in the crowd at this show. I guess good taste in music travels generations.
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.
Its on DVD......I was at this show ..... it was a free show @ UF in Gainesville, FL....., it was a beautiful day....about 15,000 ppl. A good time was hadby all!
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
If I cut a notch in my bedpost for every time I've watched this I'd be sleeping in a pile of wood shavings! Great great song and performance.
Dan Toler was really a great guitar player. He isn’t well known, but I think most Allman Brother fans knew of him
Still is
@@ronaldzijffers9864 he passed away a few years ago
@@grifftrain I know that but what. I wanne say day you are right he really was a great guitar player.
@@ronaldzijffers9864 I gotcha. I agree with you. He was a great player!
I thought that was Mandy Patinkin
up there ;-)
Rest in Piece, Dick! Thank you for all the music that made me happy even when I was so blue.
Coming back to this for the man who inspired me to pick up a guitar💔🙏rest easy goat
This was my era of music I'm blessed....nothing today even comes close,
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
Open a show with a 7 minute instrumental, and the crowd goes crazy.
Awesome
I was there in January 16th 82 . 25 then - now 67 years old . Seems like yesterday in so many ways . If you live in bliss - life is a flash ! Favourite band along with the Rolling Stones . Best concert band ever (Allman Brothers ) . Played 5 1/2 hours routinely ......
I wasn't even born when this show took place, but good music transcends generations. It's amazing how good music can stand the test of time and continue to resonate with people, regardless of when they were born.
First and fore most lets thanks the Allman Brothers for opening the doors to Southern Rock. The bands that followed the Out Laws,
Rest in peace Dicky thank you for that wonderful music and guitar playing
grew up with these guys their music, in the late 1960´s, we were teenagers, but fel in love with this southern USA rockmusic! My younger brother (died 9 years ago) saw them in Holland / Hilversum live, I was´nt in the position to go, I still regret that, R.I P. Dicky, thank God we have still your excellent guitarplay and your music in social media and on tape!!
Went to this concert 3 days before I went into the Navy...one last good time for a while
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!!!
40 years ago this was amazing, today it’s superb , and 40 years from now it will be breathtaking . Oh how we long for the simpler times. We are blessed to have experienced them.
Completely concur.
Dickie Betts is an absolute fucking dawg. One of the greatest and most underrated of the greatest generation of musicians.
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
Saw this line up with Bonnie Bramlett in '79 Bozeman Montana! The best! I like every line up this band has ever had. Miss them so much!
I saw Allman brothers in 70s, few times, they were always good times
no matter the era or the lineup, the tightest damn rock band you’ll ever hear.
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
Dickey Betts one of the greatest guitarists in any genre, not just southern rock.
Dangerous Dan sucked. They should have called"Unpleasant Dan"
I disagree. He rips it up. Plus peep those curls.
Dan Toler was AWESOME!! RIP
Wow, Dickey can rip!
He's so underrated imo. Betts is one of the best rock guitarists of all time.
The guitar gods have gained another legend in heaven. We'll miss you Dickey..
37 years it took for me to discover the sheer brilliance of these guys.
I'm watching this for the fourth consecutive night.
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.
Gainesville the best place in the world for a concert, and the best band for that show. Dicky has control of that instrument. The way he effortlessly goes from rhythm to the lead part is so smooth. He makes it look easy.
Was lucky enough to be there for this show.
43:38 Dickey steps behind David when he hears the boys on one. that’s a classy lead guitar player. great show. legend.
This is solid!! Everyone on their game, what a crisp performance!! Dickey Betts had no rival in this game.
Betts on One Way Out was their zenith.
Except the guitar slingers in Lynyrd Skynyrd perhaps
Duane carried Dickie on his back (Duane’s).
I don’t think many people realize just how much influence Jerry Garcia had on his sound. You can definitely hear that Garcia style right at the beginning.
@@stevehudspeth2997 Duane always said the ABB had two lead guitars and considered himself blessed to play with Dickey
Bassist is David Goldflies. His playing was really on point this gig. And, the killer tone he's getting from that Alembic is absolutely timeless!
Never cared for that tone. Berry’s tone is my favorite from any bass player.
It's a great looking bass! I thought for a second it was Phil Lesh's old bass.
Missing Berry´s sound very, very much. Also the look of his bass. And his own look...
Totally agree with that!
@@SCARFACE69247 same company, sadly it takes a small mortgage to get one nowadays
i saw the Allman Brothers many times between 1991 and 2000. one that stands out is a free show at Mississippi State University. they have a natural outdoor amphitheater. Blues Traveler opened the show and John Popper jammed with the Allmans. Amazing watching Warren Haynes and Dickey Betts trying to outduel each other on guitar.
I too saw many Allman shows in the early 90's. Epic to say the least.
They were all at the top of their Game here-But this truly shows Dickey’s mastery. Greg-Greatest blue eyed blues singer that walked the planet. RIP Butch/Dwayne and Greg. Toler-Smokes that Les Paul as well as the Acoustic in this set!
RIP Duane and Gregg.
Lea Pauls never looked so good
@@jordany21 And No One from the South made Les Paul and his instruments 🎸 Sound so Good 👍😊
Disagree that they were "at the top of their game here." Worked a show in 1989-1990, and believe me, they never lost standing from "the top."
Who would thumbs down this??
A drunk?
Nerds ..when they were in high school...they saw all the cool long haired musician dudes get all the girls
@@jeffwilliams8074 drunks support the allman brothers. Sobers too.. just an angry incel probably
I was there. Brilliant. Saw them when I was older at Radio City in NY. We smoked weed there.
Saw them so many times.
Terrific. There is no music like this any more.
The more I play my guitar, The more I'm in awe of Dickey Betts.
Yes
That’s the way it seems to go with the greats. As you get better, they get better.
Saw them at UF in 94. It was a free concert in the swamp. One could walk right up to the front of the stage. An amazing band.
I was at the show in Lakeland Florida 5 days after this one. I was 18 yrs old and life was magical, especially when I was at Lakeland Civic Center or Curtis Hixon Hall when music was the best ever! Man I love the Allman Brothers, forgotten legends.
Just saw Duane Betts Band-- Dickie's son, play a few months ago here in CA. He mentioned that Derek Trucks joins him on his next release💖
I love every era of The Allman Bros....🎸
Growing up around Macon Ga in the late seventies and eighties was great fun. Can't name all the great bands I was blessed to see.
Southern Rock will never die
What an incredible show! The whole band is in top form, but Dickey just killed it !!!
Im 75 ,my mom was a classical piano player, my dad a jazz buff, and I grew up with the blues , beach boys, R &B,Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Folk music, the Beatles, rock ,country all the best of all the best .i don't listen to the present bands these days. Allman Brothers were and still kicking ass.
Dicky....one of the most underrated virtuosos on the lead guitar of any band, any genre! Truly a guitarists’ guitarist!!
+ he has the 'stache to match ! B-)
He's not underarated ; everybody knows his talent !!!
Not even the best guitarist in his own band
You sure bout all that
Duane and Dickey were perfect together
Just pure goodness and love and musical brilliance. So glad this was captured on video with good sound quality. It makes me feel like I was there. God bless the ABB!
I never get tired of The Allman Brothers Band!
Not possible.
Me either brother
Southern rock will never loose its place in music history. Thank you to all those that paved the way.
Gregg didn't like to be called a Southern rock band. He preferred to be known as a blues band.
If we keep on down the path we're on, there won't be music history, or any other history before this century is out. History requires that there still be humans on the planet.

i totally agree!....would have been awesome to see thses guys...too bad i was born in 1983 and in a little place in nova scotia :(
Thumbs down are shamelessly done by newbies.
The song of freedom ! I don't know where this world is coming at ! Dickey, thanks for the peace, joy, hope and healing You gave us by your music and guitar playing ! Stay safe Dickey !
WELL PUT FRIEND
London calling, oh I wish I had been there...bands of the 70s just killed it ...naturally talented musicians who knew how to perform live ...This bands performance at this gig is superb....no one else could follow this, I want his guitar.... in my dreams...God Bless them for giving us this.....Peace and Love ...xxx
So glad I stumbled across this gem. Love this band. No flash, no BS (no cell phones)...just pure southern R & R. Thanks for posting.
well......there was no cell phones back then. if there was you woulda seen them on everyone.
2 count them 2 drummers. Quire a show. I love Southern Rock.
How my heart soars, and my soul cries tears of joy, when The Brothers play, Amen
フルパワーの演奏！！最高です、アップして頂き有難うございます♥ALLMAN最高です♥
There will never be another band even close as good as the Allman brothers
Fantastic show! I was 17 years old at this concert & will never forget it. RIP Gregg the world is truly gonna miss you.
Gainesville native here
I watch this a few Times a year and every thine it’s like the first time.
These guys are surgical in their craft. Amazing mastery. .
One of the greatest bands of all time! Dickie Betts needs more recognition as one of music's best guitarist !!
He has: he was instrumental in getting Eric Clapton to record Layla properly. The final version and recording only happened after he was invited to the studio. He is playing on the song (the original version of Clapton when still Derrick and the Dominos)
@@jaapvandersijp4203 sorry man it was duane allman who played on layla.
Check out the song “Dickey Betts” by The Dean Ween Group. A great homage to a great musician. And it was Duane that played the outro slide guitar on Layla.
Please !! :-) He's up there with Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, David Gilmour, Robben Ford, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Neal Schon, Larry Carlton, etc !!!
Only two guitarists I ever wanted to be like: Eric Clapton & Dicky Betts. That's including all the other greats such as Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughn, etc. etc.
2018--I was at this show.....god i miss these old times....drive thru liquor stores, free concerts, peace and music...damn have we went to shit. I was 18....I wanna go back!! RIP Greg
