    Dickie Betts had an image as just some kind of outlaw cowboy country boy, and yet wrote this elegant, sophisticated, complex modern symphony, equal parts rock, jazz, blues and country, greatest masterpiece of modern American music imo.

    Man, Danny Toler was a great, great guitar player. A Killer solo from him. Dickey chose guitarists who could push him and Danny, Jack Pearson and Warren Haynes prove that. This is terrific mid-ABB version.

    • @loucontino4804
      @loucontino4804 2 года назад +5

      The only issue with Dickey though was that when he was hammered he abused the daylights out of Warren and constantly physically fought with him accusing Warren of showing him up on stage. Dickey was asked to take a very long hiatus from the ABB and unfortunately never returned. Though he remains still an honored Brother. It's just him and Jaimoe left now and both are not in the best of health due to age. Hey it happens to us all. But this tune is the diadem in the crown of tunes by The ABB, because it essentially allows the spirit to soar. Oh there are another 50 tunes I love by them since I am a fan since 1971, but this tune has a special place in my heart.

      Some of y'all got it partly right. Duane told it like this: "Fkn Dickey wrote this fkn song about fkn a girl in a fkn cemetery." And to Dickey's chagrin, Duane spilled the beans on who was that girl - Carmella, Boz Scaggs' women, whom he later married.
      During one of their trysts, Dickey looked up to see the inscription on the tombstone: tIn Memory of Elizabeth Reed."
      Dickey told the Sarasota reporter, Wade Tatangelo, that he couldn't exactly call this song Carmella since he was slipping around with her.
      So people, it is basically a love song for his "beautiful Italian" lover.

    Just...DAMN! When I was much, much younger, I played this song, and a good many others of extraordinary complexity and requiring an almost twin-like connection between the guitar players.
    While learning it (over 3 or 4 months of practice sessions), I remember thinking "Jesus, they made this look so easy!"
    It isn't. They were, as a band, so far ahead of their time, and as individuals so intertwined musically, that it was like listening to a single organism breathing, and running just for the joy of it.

      In 2015, I gave him and his then-girlfriend-assistant a ride in my Uber to his gig in Daytona Beach. Apparently, picked him up from his grandma's house. I had a pic on FB somewhere. It was the highlight of the year though it lasted 5 minutes.

    This has been my favorite song of all time since I first heard it in 1970. I have listened to this song hundreds of times. I will never get tired of it. I love The Allman Brothers. They are my very favorite band! I was lucky to see them twice.

    I never realized it until I watched this, but playing those two identical guitars in locked harmonies occasionally is what gives this band part of its unique sound. My ears aren't smart, but they know what they like. ;-( :-0 ;-) Great to listen/see some of this really good music again from my youth.

    It is amazing to me that one band could accomodate and promote two virtuoso guitarists, like Duane Allman and Dickie Betts, an increadible voice and keyboard player like Greg Allman, and two drummers that each could have been masters in separate bands. IMO they are one of the best rock bands of all time. Others below have mentioned the many other players that came later in the band. Each of them were top notch. Imagine if they never would have lost Duane and Barry? I saw them several times and they were always as tight as their recordings. They were some of the best musicians in the history of rock music, IMO.

    This is an amazing composition, and this rendition is possibly my favorite, although I love so many of Dickie's other performances of Liz Reed. I've even come to love an early and rather rough version by his son along with Berry Oakley Jr. (available on RUclips) as well as their beautifully polished performance in the Allman Betts Band. I guess you could say that I'm a sucker for this composition in any format. Let's put in a word even for the one performed by the Big Band of Brothers, an absolute knockout, while we're at it.

    Hauntingly beautiful piece that seems to have some kind of intangible, mysterious, maybe otherworldly, feel or quality about it. Dickie Betts is a brilliant composer and player. Played to perfection by the entire band.
