      I won't harsh on Dickey Betts, however, he is underrated because he just plays. Sometimes that happens when a instrumentalist is really good; he goes on automatic. I've seen the Allman Brother's perform LIVE many times, and though his performance is technically good, he has underwhelmed the audience.

      Between Tom producing and all of us playing together, everything went pretty smoothly. The only thing I didn’t like about recording that album was David Goldflies, the new bass player. His playing wasn’t in the toilet, but it wasn’t very good either. The guy must have thought he was getting paid by the note, the way he would play those banjo notes on the bass.

      I've gotta say that I completely agree. It's not my favorite song, it isn't even my favorite instrumental. To be fair, is actually "pretty far" from being "the best" classic rock piece ever. BUT. BUT. BUT. It most definitely is something else. This piece really is in a league of its own.

    It don't get any better than this. Real musician playing their heart and soul out. This was and will always be the best jam band of all time. Duane Allman was a genuine musucal genius, 2 drums, 2 guitars, keyboards, bass guitar

    • @frankoshields6643
      @frankoshields6643 4 года назад

      And then the soulfull voice of Greg Allman and the country voice of Dickey. Great song writers, great musicians. Made all the other greats at the time stand up a listen, Clapton, Page, Beck, Hendrix, Terry Kath who tends to get over looked by most( Chicago fame ) was Inspired by Duane Allman. What we lost when the 3 great guitar players Allman, Hendrix and Kath died at such young ages. But what was left by these 3 greats will always be recaptured everytime someone hears them for the first time. Betts will be there some day. Saw him couple years back he still has the groove.

    I bought this record, (the album "Brothers and Sisters"), with some money my Dad gave me for my 17th Birthday when it came out. He knew I'd pick my own present better than a parent and I rushed down to the record shop in Dublin.
    A mere 49 years ago! First time I've seen it live ... amazing, but a pity Duane wasn't alive then. That would have been something.
    I didn't realise that Jessica was Dickey Betts' young daughter until I read this. That must be her photo ... aged about six ... on the cover of the LP ... which I still have, of course.
    Some years later, the BBC picked this song as the title music for their motor enthusiasts show "Top Gear", which lives on in 2022 ... as does Jessica!
