R.I.P Dickey. You left us with a lifetime of fantastic music.
Incredible musician. Helped build the Allman Brothers. Went to a Charlie Daniel's Volunteer Jam one year. His daughter sat next to my wife at the time, and our son Jordan, who was six years old. After his set she was kind enough to take us on his tour bus so we could meet him and spend a few minutes together. Got a great photo of Jordan shaking hands with him. Won't forget that day. Rest easy man.
No Dicky Betts..no Allman Brothers. He was a mentor teacher to so many.. rest easy Dicky never forgotten
Dickey Betts was a maestro of the Les Paul. He had his own musical voice with a tone all his own. ‘ Ramblin’ Man’ is an iconic slice of Americana at its best. The playing is elegant and fluid and combines a swathe of musical genres - God bless Mr Betts and I thank him for developing his talent and sharing it with us all.
All my rock and roll heroes from my youth are dropping off like flies. I would sit there and play along with Allman Brothers for hours and hours. You will be missed Dickie
Thanks for the music. Cried for an hour then cranked up Blue Sky and remembered why the Allman Brothers band has been my fav rock band for over 40 years.
RIP my favorite guitarist of the 70s and 80s. Gonna miss you bro😥
My elder brother had all the Allman Bros records when I was a kid at the start of the 70s so naturally I listened and heard them and loved them all. Dickie Betts a great guitar player. RI.P from England.
RIP Dickey Betts and my condolences to his family Sorry for your loss
One of the Absolute Best Guitar Players in History. Your Talent will be missed by Millions. No one could ever Replace The Great Richard Betts. May God Rest Your Soul.
Dickey Betts, the Master of the Dual Lead guitar. Your music will live on and we'll embrace your memory with each playing! Thank you for the music!
80yrs is a full life. well done Mr Betts. such a fluid player but all round great artist, singer, songwriter. he helped enlarge the harmonic vocabulary of blues and rock guitarist around the world. he left an amazing body of work. prayers for family and friends.
June 12, 1977. Dickey Betts and Great Southern were the middle band on a 3 band bill at Charleston Civic Center with 38 Special and Lynyrd Skynyrd. He was touring his first solo release. He and his band were top-notch. R. I. P. Dickey.
Jaimo is the last man standing now...Dickie was a true legend..I'm 65 now & will forget the 1st time I heard the Allman Brothers Band..Little did I know I already knew Duane & Gregg from Daytona beach..I rushed across the street & bought the album after I heard Midnight Rider & recognized my neighbors..I used to sit in there backyard & listen to them play as teenagers..I was six or seven & when I told them I was from Nashville they became lifelong frinds & they were soon the best band in Daytona & I worked for Gregg off & on thu the years..Danny & Frankie Toler were good friends as well..I rode with Danny & Frankie to the ABB reunion at Starwood amphitheater in Nashville ( Jaimo was back so Frankie didn't get to play) ...I'm memory of Elizabeth Reed is one of the greatest instrumentals ever written & still played by many bands today...Check out Joe Russos Almost Dead version..It's a mind melting experience..LOL..I'm rambling at this point..RIP Dickie & hang in there Jaimo.🍑
Sorry to hear this news. Dickie was a huge influence on guitar players like myself. He left a great legacy. All the people I grew up listening to are passing away. So long Dickie.
He could blaze through a major pentatonic scale and had a keen sense of melody like nobody's business! He put his stamp on an awful lot of Allman Brothers classics! He will be missed.
Tugs at the heart..Dickey Bets was a fiercely awesome guitarist...too many words to describe his talent! Saw him perform and he was mesmerizing and freakin' awesome..Allman Brothers Band ..music never gets old...Thank you for ALL the great music..Rest in Peace.❤
A SAD DAY for all!! I'm a Florida native , and grew up in the Daytona Beach area- Greg and Duane went to my high school before I did- which was kind of cool! My favorite in the band was always Dickie Betts- he could sing, write songs, played killer lead guitar, and added a country/Celtic kind of element to the band. I especially LOVED his instrumental compositions! High Falls is a great- and under- rated instrumental! I saw DB's GREAT SOUTHERN in Orlando play Rock Bottom- great song! RIP- YOU will be missed!!
Saw Dickey give the most beautiful and impressive display of guitar playing in Dec ‘73 I’ve ever seen before or since; incredible performance'!! Left that concert knowing what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and actually did it! Thank you Dickey RIP Brother ❤️😢
Thanks for letting me on the bus in denver brother.... A night i will never forget......rest well Sir.... ✌️🙏
Another musician of iconic stature, gone ... forever remembered.May the beautiful music you and your Allman Bros created be played by the Angels above ...
Rest easy Dickey Betts. 🙏✝️🛐🕊️🕊️ We thank you for sharing your amazing musical talent. You will be deeply missed. Ramblin' Man. ♥️
Dickey Betts provided inspiration for many guitar players including myself. He will be missed but won't be forgotten.
Saw the Allman Brothers at least 4 times. great shows, he will be missed. Thanks for a lifetime of music.😭
I won the first Dickie Betts solo album Highway Call at a school dance literally when it was just released, and the contest was sponsored by the local radio station. It was an odd album to give away at a middle school dance. I loved it though because I was raised on all music styles including country folk and bluegrass. I was 13 - now I'm 63 - holy s***! He had a good run!
Seen Dickey with the Allman Brothers the year they got the band back together again, and he was on fire, he sang Blue Sky and Rambling man, Dickey was one of the most prolific Country/Rock guitarist of our lifetime. RIP Dickey
And another amazing musician joins Gods band❤️😇R.I.P. Thank you for the incredible music🙏🏻😇💞😎
One of the most underrated writer, musician, lead guitarist!
Mr Betts thank you from the Kid sitting 9 rows back front right of the stage of the Spectrum Watching you in Awww!
Dickey's RAmblin man is the song that turned me on to ABB.1973.ALWAYS my favorite band. Duane is my favorite human, although I never met him.Betts was a Master guitarist,fantastic song writer. Will be missed.hang in there Jaimo
So very sad to hear this. He was one of the best guitarist ever. Loved the Allman Brothers. May he rest in peace. Prayers for his family and friends.
Wow .this only thing about getting along in years.. to many heroes passing away 😢
All my childhood heroes are passing on.. Rest in peace Richard Betts 🙏😞💔😭
Saw Dickie with Allman Brothers + his band many times. We are all getting old, but many great times + memories. Roll on down the highway Dickie Betts .
Sad day listening to to the brothers since freshman year high school 1970 🙏🏻rest in peace DICKEY
VERY SAD news indeed. I have listening to the Allman Brothers my whole life and Betts always shined on his guitar work. RIP Dicky ......Godspeed
Thanks for the songs and memories Dickey!
Love the music. We all can be replaced. The grave yard is full of people has been replaced. RIP Dickey!
Saw the Brothers at Dillon Stadium in Hartford ,CT. a year after Barry Oakley died.My first concert.Dickey put the band on his shoulders and saved them as an iconic band even after the tragic losses.RIP.
Thank you for the music
So sad to hear.However, thank you, John.From the work that you do it's very well done
Well damn, that sucks. Thanks for all the great tunes and great ABB shows (and especially for giving us Liz Reed, a southern jazz-rock-blues masterpiece). Travel well Mr. Betts.
Dickey's solo on "Jelly Jelly". So sweet! Started listening to his music at twelve years old (64 now).
One of the greatest.
My Heart Is Breaking 💔
May You Rest In Peace &
Fly Free In The Wind With All
Of Your Musical Brothers ❣️
Seven turns on the highway,
Seven rivers to cross.
Sometimes, you feel like you could fly away,
Sometimes, you get lost.
Thanks, Rambling Man
Wow thanks for sharing the news.
A few weeks ago I listened to an interview with him then went and listened to his albums on Apple Music. Im going to go listen to him now.
RIP Ramblin Man
I started playing in a band at age 16. About 3 years later, I bought a gold top Les Paul. A friend told me about "this new band" called the Allman Bros. After listening to "Live At The Fillmore" & "Eat A Peach", I was hooked. I can't tell you how many hours & days of my life I spent learning some of the Brothers tunes. I've got arthritis now & my damn left hand goes to sleep when I play and it pisses me off. I remember learning Stormy Monday & In Memory of Elizabeth Reed and thought maybe I was finally "getting it." 🤔 Those Allman Brothers guitars playing in harmony were so addictive. RIP Dickey, you caused me to work my ass off on guitar.
Gave the most impressive performance of guitar playing in Dec’73 Ive ever seen before or since. Left that concert knowing what I wanted to do the rest of my life, and actually did it! Thank you Dickey ❤️
Thank you for everything ramblin' man. RIP Dickey
I met him in bearsville at the inn thanked him for being part of the soundtrack of my life he said thank you for saying so son seen hi so many times🎉 .my favorite was bardavon in Dutchess Co NY from row center I love you man RIP
Oh thank you Bill and Joe for this and many other concert memories I love you both too
A Legendary guitar player 🎸 and excelent songwriter.
R.I.P. Dickey Betts I’m gonna miss you, thanks so much for the fabulous music, I’ll treasure forever. You sure made that cowboy hat - look good. Blue Sky’s🤍🤍🤍
A true Southern rock legend. Rest easy Mr. Betts.
God bless Dickie✝️✝️✝️ what an amazing musician!!! Rest in peace my friend.
This is a very sad day for me & millions of Dickey Betts fans. This must be devastating for his family & friends! My condolences to them! Especially his son Duane, who was also a member of Great Southern. I discovered the Allman Brothers relatively late in life (in my 30’s) when the band revived themselves in the 1990’s. I saw them several times during the 90’s & was blown away each time. When Warren & Woody split from the Bros. to form Gov’t Mule, my friends & I would see them blow the roof off in these small dives. A similar fate would occur for Dickey & Great Southern in the early 2000’s when Dickey & the Bros. parted ways. Starting for me in 2006 I would check out Dickey & GS on an annual basis up until 2014. It was a real honor to watch him & his band play live. Dickey did not believe in mailing it in when he got on stage. He played the best he could for a few hundred folks as he did when he was playing for thousands of fans. I try to emulate his brilliant guitar playing but it isn’t easy. RIP Dickey Betts, legendary guitarist, songwriter, vocalist & band leader. Your music will live forever!!!
American Rock Royalty ! R.I.P. Mr. Betts, only saw ABB once, Brothers and Sisters era. His solo song Bougainvillea was a fave of mine.
RIP Dickey. And prayers for peace to the family.
And then there was one...😢
I still remember the first time I heard "Live at the Fillmore"....I cut grass for 2 weeks earned enough money "$6.00" and still got it with a ticket stub. The house band at "The Warehouse" in New Orleans. One more left Jai Johanny Johnson "Jaimoe". It goes by quick folks.....Live it up this weekend and play Allman Bros all weekend....All my heroes are exiting stage Left....
Thank you Dickey. Your music will live forever.
RIP RICKEY 🙏 THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT 👍 MUSIC
Probably one of the first guitar players I was aware of because of The Allman Brothers, and Betts ability to hold the band together.
RIP Dickey Betts. 🔥🎸💔
A legend that has no comparable energy or originality his sprit and music will live on in infinity.
Fabulous man fabulous guitar. Back in the mid 70's and How to Play Guitar Books with complementary EP or 45 and Dickie was the voice and teacher. A treasured item. Eat a Peach on repeat since 72, the fabulous rhythm section, and those blissful guitar lines....
Never met him yet his music has been a part of my life since 1972. Gonna sit down now, grab my LP and play Jessica. RIP Rambling Man. Say hi to the rest of the band and finally meet Elizabeth Reed.
Been teaching my four year old granddaughter the words to SoulShine over the past few weeks. It never fails that we lose the best.
Just finished my tribute to Dickie by jamming up to the the Allman Brothers! It simply blew me away! Duane always maintained that Dickie was the better of the two guitarists! Overshadowed by Duane Betts was able to shine with Brothers and Sisters Lp and the Brothers never looked back led by Dickie! May he rest in peace! We loved you Dickie!
A great guitarist fantastic southern rock going to be missed!!
Ramblin Man and Blue Sky are two of my favorite songs to listen to in my car on a sunny day.
First time I saw Dickey was ‘98 with the ABB and Jack Pearson-Absolutely burned the stage to ashes! Then I saw him with Great Southern and got to meet/talk with him after the show for a while. I told him that I knew the Brothers would have crashed and burned had it not been for his presence in the band. He gave me a heartfelt hug with a tear in his eye. I will never forget that moment. He influenced my guitar playing more than anyone else. I’m gonna miss you, Dickey.
R.I.P. Dickey. You were a vital piece to the A.B. band. Rambling Man rock in peace. 🇺🇲🤘🔥🙏
Went too many great concerts in the S F Bay Area in the late 60’s and all though the 70’s. But the one that stands out most was the Allman Brothers on New Years Eve at the Cow Palace. That show was also broadcast live on KSAN, the FM radio station the played all the good rock. It was absolutely incredible. Played well past midnight, with dueling guitar solos going on forever. Throw in Greg on the keyboard with his solos, it was down right spiritual. The local guitar stores must have sold a lot of Les Pauls after seeing Dickey play that night. Keep Rambling on Dickey and thank you for all the great music and memories.
Hey Ramblin' Man. ,
... you're my blue sky...
RIP Dicky.
Dickey Betts could move through the scales on a guitar neck like no other. Every note would flow into the next note. He held the Allman Bros Band together when they were at their lowest point in their careers. It is sad to think that he didn't play with the ABB for the last 24 yrs. I'll never understand why Greg & Dickey could never reconcile their differences. RIP Mr Betts. Thanks for all the music you created.
🙏 So enjoyed the dueling guitars as I was growing up, getting my influences together in the 60s & 70s. He’s just about 11 years older than me but he lived a great lifetime. 🙏+<
Thanks John for doing these videos of Rock History👏🏻
I saw Dickey the first time in 1968 in a band called the Second Coming in Winter Haven Fl Brother Berry Oakley was in that band also that was before ABB I became a fan that night I been blessed to follow the Allman Brothers Band for many years I was at the Fillmore East March 12 concert the ticket stub is in there frame with the album above my stereo later in the 70 s I work the sound board at the Capitol Theater in passaic NJ and saw many of the brothers and Great Southern shows during that time actually shook hands a couple of times back stage. He was a great guitar player one of the very best bless his son Duane and family Rest easy brother God Bless
Rest in peace Mr. Betts. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Dickie and Duane were just magic together. It just worked! Jessica may be my favorite rock instrumental. A brilliant musician and a beautiful songwriter.
Great historical guitar stylist!
Peaceful Journey my man!
RIP DICKEY THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT MUSIC
I’m grateful for the inspiration, thank you, too many things to say, Peace
My favourite band from the US, I’m number one fun from Israel 🇮🇱🙏🏼🇺🇸….go Ramblin’ Man 🎸🎶🎶🎶 I read books on the Allman Brothers Band 😎
So terribly sad. Truly one of my favorite guitarists. He always played so tastefully and colorfully. Truly an original and a legend.
Another legendary guitarist passes - now Dickey Betts - what a legacy he leaves us - RIP ...
RIP to my favorite Allman Brother . Saw him on tour when he released his first , and my favorite, solo album "Highway Call" . Very country sounding , beyond "Blue Sky" and "Ramblin' Man .
One of the best of his time R. I. P.
Dickie wrote and sang “rambling man”, which was one of their only top 10 hits. The amount of talent in that band is just amazing👀
This news is hard for me to take , all my guitar hero’s are fading fast . Play your git box for the Angels and wow them like you did the world . When We lost Duane Allman you stepped up and carried the torch for the Allman Brothers for many years . RIP Great Man !
What a bummer! RIP Dickey.
One of the best to ever play the guitar and sing We're all sad to see him leave
Dickey Betts was one of my all time favorites!! RIP, Dickey!
Saw them 20 years ago at Red Rocks. They’re my favorite southern rock band all time. Gonna miss each and everyone of them as we all get older but wow, the memories.
I only saw him live one time in the 90s he was spectacular
Oh man. Condolences to his family and friends.
RIP fabulous musician
saw

Saw ABB at Knebworth, England mid 70's , Greg came on sage and said "Ain't no curfew..we're gonna boogie all night" and they did and Dickie was on fire!!
Saw Dickey a number of times, but my most memorable was in Mobile AL. when his band Great Southern opened for Lynyrd Skynyrd, about 6 months before the plane crash. During Skynryds performance they had Dickey come out and play a couple of tunes with them. I'll never forget.
Saw Mr. Betts 5 times with his great band. Legend❤
What a great lose!!!! Great singer, and guitarist!!!! R.I.P.
❤One of the True Greats;perpetually underrated,with an instantly recognizable style ❤!
I'm so sorry to hear that Dicky Betts passed. He was a great guitar player. He'll be missed.❤️🙏
Saw him many times. Best concert was at Peabodies Down Under in Cleveland,place was packed. He was the Ramblin man, playing under a blue sky.
