That’s my Artisan Mobile recording truck behind stage right, recording this Allman Brothers performance to a pair of 24 track recorders on 2” tape, as was the custom. This show is on RUclips elsewhere and I’m just seeing this version - only days after a sad farewell to Dickey Betts - for the first time since that lovely winter afternoon. I think I’m liking the sound of this ‘official’ version better. It sounds like a completely different, and better, remix, perhaps even the one used for the RCA LaserDisc that was made. It is definitely a much better video cut, and the crowd mics I recorded are featured as they should be. I’m thrilled to be taking this trip down memory lane 42 years after that beautiful Gainesville, Florida day.
Can anyone please tell me the exact date of this wonderful concert at the University of Florida? Discogs says: Recorded in Gainsville FL, University of Florida 10-26-1980. This RUclips video: 5/14/1982. But the “full” concert on RUclips (not all songs are on the official DVD Brothers Of The Road) dates back to 1/16/1982, ruclips.net/p/PL_XT7NkpsoDQ7-fEInElD4D383eteu-DP. And another strange thing: why is one of the best Dickey Betts concerts presented on the official DVD without obvious high points like Ramblin' Man, One Way Out, Southbound? If it were up to me, I would officially release on all physical media (LP, CD, DVD, etc.) this FULL (!!!) concert at the University of Florida with a dedication to Dickie Betts.
You are correct about his guitar sound. A very clear tone with enough overdrive to give him the sustain if he wanted it, but an almost unfashionably clean sound. Lots of top end and presence rolled off, a sweet tone that demands a superior player.
@@glennallen1580 Dickey was a very impressive man, soft spoken but sure of himself. I like that combination and found him a great critic and collaborator.
I’m drunk. It’s 20:57PM PST, 6/30, 2024, in Newport Beach, California. I’m watching Dickey absolutely rip it up. FUCK. I was born in the wrong time. Thank god for Dickey and the Allman Brothers. They are timeless. Perfect actually. Sending love to you all 🙏🏽❤️

@@allanbriggs807 hey good job of stating such intrigue over a "fairly difficult personality"....I mean shucks, either you're just being nice and putting it mildly or the guy is just an absolute f****** a******. Well, so much for all that talent and music and legacy that appears to override what you find I guess is most important and I'm forced to agree, to hell with this s***, I'm going to start listening to all that ghetto rap truth that's out there now, because there's just something missing in my life like trap Queen's and violent degeneracy and dysfunctionality and stuff....yuh KNOw?
They were the band, everything is flawless,i it's Nice to go back to the old days, they were bad to the bone.They were the band to see and jam out to.May they rock in heaven.God bless the brothers.
I was at the August Jam in North Carolina in 1974 I was 16 years old and had hitchhiked there from Ohio.3 day concert and it was amazing, I was 10 feet from the stage when the Allman Brothers performed for 2 hours.What a time to be alive
Tight performance. Great show. Beautiful day. Great audience. Everyone looked great. RIP Dickey Betts and all those that passed from the Allman Brothers.
The date is wrong, it should be 1/16/82 - they broke up after they were on SNL at the end of January 1982. IAC, the band is crackin' here. Very sad that for years after recording and performing some of the greatest rock n roll EVER in the early 70's, the band was a chaotic mess until they pulled themselves together and reformed in the 90's. Whoever remastered this audio and video did a GREAT job - thanks for the memories!!
I'm thrilled to see this. Untill today I've only seen bits and pieces. This is wonderful. Living in sw Florida I've been blessed by meering 32:4032:42 Danny, Frankie, Greg and Dickey. Greg jammed with us one night. What a treat.
I can’t believe this good this is. They were always incredible in any format, of course. But I admit I had no idea they were THAT good at this time. There was more of a gruff roughness with the classic lineup with Greg and Barry, which is part of why that version of the band was one of the greatest. This is different, but no less great. I can’t believe how polished they sound, while still retaining the Allman “thing”.
@@yvonnelaurenty6427 I say that to everybody, but only that Duane is on record saying it multiple times. I didn't know Clapton felt the same. Good to hear, Dickie never gets mentioned with the giants yet just about everyone I know who knows music thinks he is. 👍✌
IMPORTANT CORRECTION: This concert was held in Gainesville, FL on Saturday January 16, 1982, not on 5-14-82 as listed in the description. The band split up at the end of January 1982.
Musicians, terribly sadly, are dying. They can’t live forever. But, I would argue music never, ever dies. Many special people have given their lives to the art with that ideas firmly in mind. Leaving a legacy, performing the very best they possibly can, and maybe most important, putting a lot of themselves in the songs they write. You can rest assured Dickey’s influence will outlast both of us. He was a very special guitar player. You might not see it, but he was deadly serious about every gig. His mind was a busy place, and a veery successful place as well. I worked with him again 15 years later and the very same man came to play. No partying, no congrats, he was a bit mysterious and I admire him more every day.
Dicky has always brought it on... Never seen othwewise. I can say the same of all members never seen anyone in this band fail to deliver even Greg (RIP) back in the day when he was out of sorts he delivered no matter how he got on that stage.
Dickey earned every word that describes him, INCLUDING he is FOREVER a ABB Family Member for life.......F all the rest..........Gregg & Duane would ! NUFF SAID
I love seeing that tag on this post showing Dickie off stage just hanging out with Danny Toler and the guys enjoying themselves. Betts singing is laid back and wonderful. He tells how he and Berry did so before Gregg joined them, saying the band needed a real singer. But there was no one who could do Blue Sky or Ramblin' Man better; Duane called on him to sing Blue Sky, saying it was Dickie's song, after all. Actually can'5imagine Gregg doing Ramblin' Man any better, which was also Betts' composition. This post gives you a deeper insight into the convivial and somewhat shy side of Betts' personality. He was known for his temper (even at 73, he told Dan Rather he was still working to get a handle on it
), but he mostly was very much the gentleman, as we can see from lots and lots of posts, and one can't miss how cordial and encouraging he is to fellow musicians on stage. I'll never stop admiring his all-around greatness.
@@yvonnelaurenty6427 and u r so spot on about his graciousness towards other musicians. Like it literally can't be missed if u know what u r looking at. 👍
Que tal magia del tecladista en el minuto 27.10, un solo de teclado magnifico,en Statesboro Blues, que dan ganas de bailar, grande The Allman Brothers Band ¡
This is great! thanks for the upload! who was the guitarist on the left that took Duane Allman's place. Yes i know Duane had already sadly died before brothers and sisters album.
I dont think that's Warren Haynes. Warren Haynes came around a bit later. I'm certainly no authority on the history of ABB, I had the same question myself and read the comments section on here to find out who he is. They wrote his name down, there is in fact a few comment post's on what a great job he did.
There Will Never Be Another Dickey Betts Either. G.O.A.T. R.I.P. Gregg. Thank You .

RIP Toler Brothers, Butch Trucks and Gregg Allman and all the other ABB that have left us. You all were one of a kind.
Happy birthday dickey have loved your playing for years God bless.
Welcome to the Dickie Betts Talent Show! Incredible feel for the guitar, great country voice and nice little leg-body-clapping as well. Living Legend
It's too bad Dickey wasn't as GREAT of a Human being as Skydog. Duane would NEVER hurt a woman or a child. Dickey is an ANIMAL!
who did he hurt ?
Dicky doesn't need to hide behind distortion or a bunch of phony effects. You hear every note and his skill is incredible.
You are correct about his guitar sound. A very clear tone with enough overdrive to give him the sustain if he wanted it, but an almost unfashionably clean sound. Lots of top end and presence rolled off, a sweet tone that demands a superior player.
You got that right brother he was one of the best of not the best

Insanely amazing music. Blasting full force with eloquence and grace. The Allman Brothers.
was lucky to have seen them in 79 and 80 for the comeback tour. mindblowing.
RIP Dickey Betts thanks for the music!
Greatest Southern rock, live concert and improvisational band of all time. Live at Fillmore East in '71 best ever.
I love that Jessica was the first song. A song of pure joy 💖
that and Rambling Man are my favourite AB numbers, guess that makes me a real Betts fan.

I was at this show as a student at University of Florida in '82. Free show at the Bandshell as always...
Those days were great. The colleges paid for the artists to perform for the students.

Betts was bringing it on this day !
This band makes the smoke come out of my phone. Jeez what a performance
One other note this stands right up there with the fillmore show.
I keep watching this performance over and over.
Love these guys, grew up listening to thier one of a kind southern rock. God bless them all, be in my heart as long as I'm alive. God bless the south.
RIP DICKIE. THANKS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL LEGACY.😊
Good god they are so good
That motel jam at 42:00 is the best. Dickie was such a natural musician. The other guitarist was great too on that. So much joy.
Dickey and Butch kept em going. Nice one. Thanks. :))
Thanks for bringing
memories like this back .....
RIP the original, the only Allman Brothers
*Video Speed Controller FTW!* I dropped the playback speed to 90%. Now it sounds like I expect they would in concert.
A friend of mine who passed away had this on VHS. I've been looking everywhere for it. Thanks for the post!
Both Clapton and Duane asserted Dickie the best. No lie.

Listen to Greg playing "come and go blues" at 49:20... amazing acoustic guitar playing!
Sounds magical!
Take five guys ….. nah, I’ll just let the magic happen
Only God knows if he can create another Dicky Betts and all of the talent on that stage!

You or I might not have witnessed it, but I believe its pretty well documented by the man himself that Gregg blew quite a few shows lol.✌
Shine on Dickey 💖💫
Sorry hazor777, gotta call bullshit on Ya. Playing tight as shit, Greg's voice is strong, and they fucking JAM.
I love these Brohams , miss DIckie and Greg and of coarse DUane
One of the greatest live performances of all time
By Far No it Aint,, 80s Sucked..yea some good Jams but over all 80s Sucked
