More “favorite Dickey moments” honorable mentions:
- his solo on “Whipping Post” from At Fillmore East. THE perfect build up of a solo. Plus the whole slower middle section that he leads
- his first solo on “You Don’t Love Me” from At Fillmore East, perfectly in the pocket
- his solo on “Dreams” from Play All Night: Live at the Beacon 1992
- his solo on “Liz Reed” from Live at Ludlow Garage
- the entire tune “Hand Picked” from his first solo album Highway Call
- all of “Les Brers in A Minor”
- his solo on “Mountain Jam” from Eat a Peach
If there's a rock-n-roll heaven , you know they got a hell of a band......
No Dickey Betts, no Allman Brothers Band. Period.
I've been listening to In Memory of Elizabeth Reed for over 50 years I think it's one of the greatest songs ever written, I never get tired of it it's a masterpiece. Blue Sky another Masterpiece and his guitar work in the song Melissa even though he didn't write the song it's just so beautiful. The list of amazing songs that he wrote is just stunning. I think the original Allman Brothers were America's greatest band ever. Great tribute Dylan thank you.
I want Liz Reed played at my funeral-though I hope that ain’t soon!
Dickey’s son, Duane, will carry his torch for years to come. Duane has his dad’s musical DNA deeply imprinted in his soul. Hopefully some Dickey/ Allmans fans can find solace in this.
As a 70 year old the ABB changed my life. Their music was heart and soul for me. So RIP Dickey and thank you so much sir for this lesson. I'm heading for the guitar...
dickey was the greatest❤️ i’ll forever love his music
Major key soloing was never the same after him. Thank god ✌🏼
I’m currently sitting in the shade under a live oak in Savannah, GA, listening to you play a beautiful tribute to Dickey. Thanks man
imo Dicky didn't get enough recognition for the great guitarist and songwriter that he was. of course, the recordings of him with a Allman Brothers, and after are amazing and historic. when I first saw him play live though I was blown away by how virtuosic he was. He seem to extemporaneously just create new music constantly, and his solos and everything was tasty and went somewhere. He's playing always took you on a journey. I aspire to that as a guitarist! His music teaches me a lot
RIP Dickey. It was time for leavin' and I understand. Thank you for the time, Dylan.
Always loved Dickey on ABB brothers and sisters and The Great Southern
Dickey Betts was a major influence. He was melodic and had the perfect blend of styles. He will be missed ❤
"Just another love song I'm singing
And you know people sing them all of the time
Just another lonesome guitar ringing
The only difference is this one is mine"
Rest easy Ramblin' Man
Now that’s an underrated Dickey Betts song. One of Dickey’s sweetest solos on that song.
Amen brother!!🙏🎶🍄🍑✌️
Great job breaking these parts down, Dylan! This is such a huge loss for so many of us. There will never be another Dickey Betts. Rest in peace, Ranger.
I remember Dave Wilson (RIP) in his "Tone Quest Report" discussed seeing the Allman Brothers Band after they had "fired" Dickey Betts, and how anemic and soulless is sounded. But then he saw Dickey playing with his band, and they were on FIRE, so it didn't seem like a good move to fire him at the time. Betts did have substance abuse problems, like many of us do - Derek Trucks said he could be off one night and incendiary the next. Otis Gibbs did a great tribute video too, and read from a book about Dylan and Betts friendship. Thanks for your tribute video Dylan Adams, it's appropriate coming from someone who is one of the best players of the wonderful slide guitar sounds we love!
Beautiful Tribute Dylan!! Heaven got a hell of a band! RIP Dickey Betts
That Blue sky part is so awesome.
I hate to say it, but I’m pretty sure that you have the Blue Sky parts reversed… Dickey played the main “melody” riff… Duane played the “steel guitar-ish” harmony part. It’s evident in hearing the Stonybrook recording too. I’m pretty certain. I’ve also seen Dickey up close when Warren Haynes was in the AB Band, and that’s also how they did it.
Awesome video. Dickey has had a major influence on my playing since the first time I heard him, what a loss.
Love your insight into Dickey's sweet melodies and brilliant out of scale note choices.
You don't love me live at filmore east is both Dickeys and Duanes best work imo. That whole album is fantastic.
Was lucky enough my dad took me to see Dickey at a small indoor theater when i was a kid. Warren Haynes showed up mid show. It was the loudest concert I've ever been to, our ears rang for days lol
RIP To one of my heroes
Dylan ... what a wonderful tribute! It was heartfelt, respectful and performed with reverence and insight, particularly with the dual video/audio portions of Duane and Dickey! We are all enriched by their interplay and your ability to discern true musical genius. Thank you!
Hi Dylan from Buffalo NY. That wa a very classy and resepectful tribute to Dickey. Thank you! And also this is starting to be my favorite guitar ch!
Duane Allman once said that Dickey was the best rock guitarist in the world.
Rest in peace Dickey, you were a giant. Duane would often tell people that Dickey was the true guitar virtuoso in the band. Not just being a humble genius but truly letting people know how great the guitar in the shadows was. I was honored to meet Dickey and Jaimoe many years ago as I was out fishing.
Rest in peace to the greatest culmination of blues, jazz, swing, rock and country we will ever hear. Never again will such a style grace the music world. Dickey Betts was one of a kind. RIP
Lucky for me I grew up hanging out in Macon Ga .. the allmans and dickeys music is in my DNA .. 🧬
RIP, Dickey. Great tribute and playing, man.
Having been raised in Sarasota Fl, I was fortunate to have met Dickey in my Uncle's kitchen at the age of 11. My Uncle repaired and maintained the amps of both Dickey and Barry Oakley during their Second Coming era. Dickey's Twin Reverb was laid out on the dining room table. I would run into him on and off several times over the years. The Live at Fillmore East album changed the direction of my musical life. The world was given a perfect example of how important it is for EVERYONE in a band to REALLY listen to what's going on. But it's definitely the rhythm guitars of BOTH Dickey and Duane on Whipping Post that still gives me chills. I heard for the first time, blues based rock being perfomed with a jazz sensibility but at a monstrously advanced level. BTW, thanks for all you post that's helping to keep this extremely influential BAND on the radar in a world of Auto Tune and lip syncing. May you rest in peace, Dickey Betts. ❤
Dickey was always one of my biggest influences when I was a young guitar player. Both he and Duane were very approachable young men who were willing to share their playing knowledge with a young noob like myself. Dickey's playing style was so smooth and his pick attack was so very smooth compared to Duane's. Duane had a very noticeable pick attack and you can definitely hear the click of the pick on recordings. Dickey, on the other hand had virtually no pick noise making distinguishing them on solos very easy. Though most of the musical drive on the early albums was Duane's, the guitar riffs were all Dickie's doing. RIP my friend. Say hello to Duane, Berry, Gregg, and Butch for me.
Your face says it all every time you finish one of the licks or a guitarmony. He brought joy into the world, what a gift!! RIP Dickey
I am so heartbroken and saddened by our loss of Dickey! He was 50% responsible for the Allman Bros sound!! I grew up in New Orleans and saw the Bros so many times at the historic Warehouse! RIP my brother! Y'all are making some great music up in heaven now!!
Rest in peace, Dickey. I agree totally with Dylan.
For me, the perfectly structured Dickey lead on the Fillmore version of "Stormy Monday" is just so well done. I have played that for years in a number of cover bands, and I still never nailed it.. but I keep trying. The tone of that solo is magical.
I love that both of them had a unique intonation on some of the bent notes that was unmistakably theirs.
Really nice tribute. I like that you highlight his patience in developing melodic drama. He had an amazing sense of how much time he had in the music, and he never wasted a note.
RIP Dickey Betts. ♥
I am one of the lucky few who say ABB as the up-and-coming band at the Filmore East before the first ABB album came out. RIP Dickey
What an appropriate and heartfelt tribute to my favorite guitarist. "At the Fillmore" was the sonic bible for so many players when it came out and still is to this day. I have always felt if you took that album and focused on it you would come out with a vocabulary to take you to a lot of places as a player. Derek Trucks is a prime example of this. I hear things he soaked up from both Duane and Dickey and has taken them to new heights. I feel like you're in that vein as well. R.I.P. Mr. Betts.
That harmony lick in Revival is pure Country, and it gave every rock guitar player “permission” to add those major, country-style licks to guitar solos.
Great tribute to Dickie Betts. I’ve been fortunate to see the ABB many times over the years. During one concert in the early 70s at the old Indianapolis Convention Center Dickie was soloing and swung around and hit the neck of his guitar pretty hard on his mic stand. He kept going but was really pissed about it. His music was so moving, thanks again….
We’re all better off for knowing and hearing Dickey Betts! Likewise, we’re all better for hearing you carrying the torch of this wonderful music!
As I’ve said before, the hours you’ve put into this music shows big time! All the subtle nuances you’ve noticed and incorporated into your playing, they’re perfect man! Especially the harmonies from Blue Sky and Revival, those harmonies MAKE those songs! Thanks so much for this. ✌️ 🍄
I'm a Duane freak but a lot of their best songs are Dickie's. Blue Sky always makes me smile!
Very nice tribute!!
Its funny that I don't really feel that sad. Dickey filled many an evening with joy whenever I saw him. He's always gonna be there.
Thanks for your wonderful tribute Dylan. Dickie and Skydog are both engrained in the soundtrack of my life. Yours too I see!! Rest in peace Dickie.
Thank you brother Dickie!!! You blessed my life and I'm sure many others'.
A worthy and wonderful tribute friend. Thank you.
Thank you Dylan for the tribute. Clearly you have a handle on what TABB did to set them apart.
Peace brother Dickey!
Great tribute man. We lost a legend for sure. Thanks for all the amazing songs and riffs over the years. Rest in peace Dickey
What a heartfelt tribute to the man, thanks.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend also RIP to Dickey Betts ❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢
Couldn't agree with you more, original ABB is THE best, and that band was a pack of unicorns, thanks for keeping them alive!
What a fantastic tribute. Well done Dylan. Thank you so much. Dickey Betts forever 🙏☮️❤️🎶🎸🕊
Hey Dylan, I knew I could count on you for a fitting video honoring Dickey. Thanks for making and sharing it. Cheers
This is a wonderful tribute to Mr. Betts. Thank you.
That was fantastic, thank you for sharing those licks!
A very fitting tribute, & great selections! I think of Dickey's volume swell soloing in the intro to Liz Reed at Fillmore East as also being among his best work - kind of Mileslike, but also easy to overlook considering how amazing the rest of the song is 🤙
Great tribute! That blue Sky info is my favorite, the bright mood and tone completely match the lyrics.
I’m always blown away at how seamless he and Duane could be in trading lines between each other such as in “One Way Out”. The call response between the slide (Duane ) and his picked parts is just amazing. I have read that he took inspiration in his phrasing from jazz musicians such as Coltrain. No idea if that’s true or just cool spin, but his phrasing and attack was very unique.
This is so great. The work you did to play and piece together both DA and DB playing at the 7 minute and 12:30 marks just sends chills down the spine. It’s almost like having them back for a few seconds. Thank you for that.
🙏🏻
Blue Sky intro. Wow! I remember that song on the radio 50 years ago and never knew it was a picking duet. (I didn't pay attention I guess) I need to listen to the song again. Thanks Dylan.
Great tribute Dylan! Was a hard pill to swallow when I heard the news yesterday morning. Catch you at the next gig!
I enjoyed this video. 😊
I've been so sad since April 18. Such a huge loss to music lovers. Aches my heart.
Yeah brother. So sad. He changed my life.
Excellent and acutely knowledgeable tribute. Well done.
RIP Dickey. Thanks Dylan.
Yeah dude, I was pretty sad after I heard the news. My grandma was the one who got me into the ABB when I was a kid and I'll never forget being completely blown away by what I was hearing for the first time. RIP Dickey.
He was a wonderful artist with a creative mind. Great info on his part in blue sky, who would've thought that was the way he did it. I always struggled to transcribe his part in the intro. Thank you!
The Studio version of Southbound when I was 14 in 1974 is the reason why I started playing guitar
Lovely tribute. Well done.
Loved your point about Dickey being so methodical and taking his time creating his solos, right on point. Been spinning the Fillmore album a lot this week and focusing on the dynamic between Dickey and Duane is phenomenal.
Thanks Dylan , great great tribute to Dickey!😌
Beautiful tribute dude. ❤
Great video D! I know what he meant to you. His playing has opened up so many doors for my playing grateful. Dickey was a master and we Will always have his music
Agreed and excellent. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing!! I've been working on the revival harmonies and you nailed it. I wasn't 100% sure if those bends were pre-bends but after seeing you play it, that sounds exactly right. RIP Dickey Betts
Excellent tribute Dylan. Thank you.
Just beautiful man....Dickey was such an inspiration......RIP
This is a great video. I also learned a lot of his licks and I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of them when I have to improvise. Excellent work!
Great eulogy and honorarium Dylan! The baton has been passed. Thanks for keeping his music alive into another generation by helping us wannabes hit those licks.
REALLY nicely done! Its obvious how much time and love you have put in learning their early music.I wish you would do a how they did it instruction video. Nobody could ,or has done one as well as you could. Beautiful tribute. Thanks
Tremendous. I always wondered and now I know. Thank you so much.
Though I initially wanted to play bluegrass, Dickey and Duane are my real guitar inspirations and why I finally picked up the electric guitar. Both solos on Blue Sky, Jessica, Elizabeth Reed, and right now I'm listening to ABB Live at the Beacon 1992 and Dickey's tones on Nobody Knows and You Don't Love Me are just killing me they're so good.
Thank you so much for this
Thanks for sharing this.
Great video/content. Thx Dylan
Nicely done! Thank you!
Awesome stuff Dylan 👏
Great job with the video!
Great job 👏
Agree with every word. RIP Dickie. BTW, when ya gonna play Gainesville?
Great tribute. He were awesome fo sho. I miss him already. I hope Duane can rise up and take the lead now.
Well said brother.
He’s was the best
Did you ever listen to that 1972 show from the Macon Auditorium? It's the five piece band after Duane but with Berry. Dickey was up there by himself holding it down, and it's good. He could have carried the band for years if Berry had lived and they hadn't been in a storm of grief, addiction and drama.
Nice tribute Dylan.
