Songs like this is what makes America great. ...I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus rolling down highway 41.. RIP Dickey. You did well, sir.
@@thomasfisher5742 72’ though? I’m pretty sure Shannon was a young boy child 5 yr old in battle ground around then lol unless he was singing in the bathtub and at church and stuff and no one has told us about this…?
Hats off to Dickey- what a master. Duane was a natural, killer blues player, but Dickey was the master of the major diatonic scale…what a treat to have two genius players in one band. Wish I could’ve seen them in their heyday.

I used to work 3rd shift with my mom at Columbia Bicycle and we rode together and every morning coming home Rambling man would be on the radio and me and my mom would sing along watching the sun come up. Well, she passed away 6 years ago and every time I hear that song I remember those days. I miss mom and now Dickey. Thanks for the great memories, Dickey Betts!
RIP the five members of The Allman Brothers Band Dickey Betts (December 12, 1943 - April 18, 2024), aged 80 Duane Allman (November 20, 1946 - October 29, 1971), aged 24 Butch Trucks (May 11, 1947 - January 24, 2017), aged 69 Gregg Allman (December 8, 1947 - May 27, 2017), aged 69 Berry Oakley (April 4, 1948 - November 11, 1972), aged 24 You will be remembered as legends.
DAMN! All my southern rock heroes are leaving, sad, sad day. Now people down in Georgia come from near and far To hear Richard Betts pickin' on that red guitar..........RIP Forrest
I'm like sooooooooo wow!!! I remember coming home from first grade and sitting at the table and hearing that song on my mom's 96.5 FM smooth rock channel-for many years even into HS.
Ramblin’ around just needing to hear the great music Dickie Betts & the Allman Bros. gave us back in the day. A sad day today, learning of his passing.♥️🎸
"I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin' Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee They're always having a good time down on the bayou Lord, and Delta women think the world of me" Thank you for the music.
You are totally right! Those our age grew up on southern rock, and it deeply impacted our souls. No other music stirs our hearts and grounds our souls like it! It makes me a better person listening to southern rock, and if I may say, it guides me to the God who created us. Good ole southern boys! Rip Allman Bros, you still live with us.
In 1972 my brother and I were in junior bowling leagues. The song was so popular, the bowlers plugged juke box full of quarter's to play Rambling Man twenty consecutive times!
Jukebox’s also every little bar and grill had a jukebox and one or two pool tables and this was on all jukeboxes the good old days or at least I thought so lol
R.I.P TO ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS EVER,J.J IS THE LAST! GOD BLESS HIM ,AND THE OTHERS,THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND IS ONE OF AMERICA,s GREATEST GIFT TO MUSIC ❤️!🎸🎸🎹🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼THANKS FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL MUSIC ❤BOB✌️😎!
My dad took my brothers & I to see Dickey Betts when we were young… he would play at a venue on the Boardwalk in Ocean NJ… couldnt truly appreciate it until i was grown… but i can’t thank him enough… we are a very musical family so i was just happy to see live music that everyone seem really excited about… especially my old man. I cherish those memories… RIP Dickey, a true American Guitar Legend…
Thank you, Dickey, for all the music that you gave to all of us to enjoy. I remember being an 8 yr old "rolling down HWY 41 " with my Mom in Sarasota listening to this. Fly High Dickey . We love you and will miss you
Rip brother This is classic rock at its best... And it's being sung by a classic rock hero... One of my favorite songs to listen to riding my Harley as I bar hopped
I Am in 2021, Allman Brothers nothing any better to listen too. If we still had bands like this now❣️ We have there awesome songs we can hear Dickey was the greatest. Duane an Berry was a big loss, Dickey was there to continue. There’s only 2 left of the original members Jaimoe & Dickey! Hope your still playing ! Your son Is almost as good as you♥️ Allman Brothers Band ♥️
One of the best live versions of "Ramblin' Man" on here. And I've seen a lot of em. Dickey B in fine form. Plus you get to see Berry Oakley playing. How great is that? I keep comin' back to this video like a moth would to a porch light.
OK but this was when the band was at their worst. It was post Duane and pre Derek Trucks. So all that you had was Dickey's watered down solos. Don't get me wrong I enjoy it but it's not the Allman Bros. doing their best work.
Dickey Betts, aka “The Ramblin’ Man” will be missed. He was a very talented guy and a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band. What an amazing song and incredible guitar licks. R.I.P. Dickey Betts.
Timeless music performed by artists who we will never see the likes of again. There is no one out today who can fill Dickeys shoes. Just listen to this man play live. Need I say more?
I’d argue Butch and Jaimoe were the backbone. There was no other drum sound like that in any popular music back then. Those guys often get overlooked because of the obvious talents up front, but there is no one on earth who can play like Butch Trucks. Him and Jaimoe together is every bit as important to the ABB sound as Duane and Dickey were.
Was lucky enough to see both Duane & Greg with the band - live in concert at the end of March, 1971 in Delaware, Ohio (OWU) a few weeks after Live at the Fillmore East was recorded. They arrived 2 hours late due to a heavy snowstorm in Northern Ohio. One equipment truck with a set of drums was stuck in a drift so we had to scramble to get them another set of drums. Great concert !
Wow thanks for sharing that experience with us, I was only 7 years old in 1972, but I remember having bad winter that year here in New York cuz I had to walk to school in knee deep snow. Love these old gold songs from my childhood 💖🎯🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
For all the guys like my Father. He was a family guy, but also a truck driver and sowed some wild oats. 'So to Speak',. I always love my dad who died young at 39 years old. Things could have been so much different. Miss him all my life.
Hadn't heard this version before, that's got to be the finest solo I've ever heard him play on Ramblin' Man. Straight up gorgeous extended jam! Man oh man...what a legend!
Dickey just pheonimal - and Berry's pulsing bass was just the best. There is a reason why the Allman tunes continue to be played 4 decades later. They created such memorable music that never gets old.
Amazing to see Barry on the bass. He died only a week later right around the corner where Duane met the end only a year earlier. It would have been amazing what could have been if Duane and Barry had stayed with us even 5 years longer. The band was at their peak, and still did incredible things post D&B but who knows what could have been? We'll never know, and just get to enjoy the small sampling of their immense talents that they were able to share in the brief window of their lives. Gone too soon.
Berry was the man but I have new respect for Lamar Williams after hearing him on the live album Wipe the windows,check the gas....can't remember the exact title!!
I remember the very time I heard this song back in 1973 I was only 13 years young and the reason it brings back so many memories is because that was around the same time I started smoking marijuana with a neighbor of mine and yes those were the good ole days when I didn't have a care in the world...R.I.P."DICKIE BETTS" for an AWESOME song and may you GOD rest your soul 🙏🙏🙏
Wow I'm just jealous 💜💥😎💯lol nah but oh how I wish I could've experienced them live. How my heart would've skipped a beat. .. many beats. My soul soared and my happiness beyond measure to be in the presence of these guys making their music. Just wow
There wouldn't have been a quarter of the Allman Brothers sound without Dickey Betts...That guy is a legend and basically saved the band for what it's worth.
Rest in Peace Dickey! Thank you for your gift of music all these years! Lord, you know it makes us high, when you turn your love our way! Turn your love his way now...
Love you Dickey Betts! You’ll never be forgotten - thanks for the great music! My older-youngest brother Richard, had the nickname Dickey when we were young kids growing up, thanks for the memories,,,🤍🤍🤍
Love Dickie Betts! This is back when he was very humble. I can only dream of the direction this band would’ve taken and all the great music we missed out on when Skydog and Berry passed. There’s no other band that could ever hold a candle to the Allman Brothers! RIP. Skydog,Berry, Gregg and Butch🙏
Rest in peace Mr. Betts. Thank you a lifetime of pure soulful music. I was fortunate enough to meet you and let you know what an inspiration you were to me and millions of other guitar players. He was as humble as you could be. IMO he never got the recognition he deserved. His contribution to music with his country flavored blues and the twin guitar harmonies is immeasurable. R.I.P.
Thank you for the music, Mr. Betts. Rest in peace.
I'm like sooooooooo wow!!! I remember coming home from first grade and sitting at the table and hearing that song on my mom's 96.5 FM smooth rock channel-for many years even into HS.
Heaven just got another guitar player. And, the band is almost reunited again. Thanks for the music. RIP you guys 😢

"I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin'
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee

You will never, ever, have a perfect live performance than this, guitar solos, vocals, biased? Judge for yourselves, just perfect!!
No doubt it’s a great performance but it’s hard to argue that it tops Skynyrds performance with FreeBird at Knebworth. But both are classics
Grew up on this southern rock and that part of my life will never change even tho the whole world has totally changed in every way. RIP DICKIE BETTS

Man he is killing that guitar. The music was so much better in the 70’s I’m so thankful I got to experience it.
Sure was. No digital enhancement, just talent.
Me too even though I was a 7 year old girl glad I grew up with this music
No other music like the 70's plain and simple!!!
Me too, doc. It was a good time to be alive.
Awesome guitar playing, doesn't get much better than that!!
Keep playing that red guitar in heaven Dickie! R.I.P.
A treat for the audience as this song wasn't released until the summer of '73.
Damn, I lived in the best music generation
Timeless music performed by artists who we will never see the likes of again. There is no one out today who can fill Dickeys shoes. Just listen to this man play live. Need I say more?
Ride on, Ramblin' Man, say hi to Duane and Gregg for us!
No whammy bar...all that vibro coming purely from his fingers/bending ....talented guy & band.
The backbone of the Allman Brother's Band that deserves far more positive recognition. Without his lead guitar play, where would the Bro's Band be?
damn right.
I’d argue Butch and Jaimoe were the backbone. There was no other drum sound like that in any popular music back then. Those guys often get overlooked because of the obvious talents up front, but there is no one on earth who can play like Butch Trucks. Him and Jaimoe together is every bit as important to the ABB sound as Duane and Dickey were.
Dickey saved their bacon, after Duane accident
Dickey was the heart and soul of the band of Allmans😮
Here is to Dickie Betts. Thank you for the music. Play in heaven.
May you R I P Dicky Betts your live because of the music 🎶you left us too enjoy.
One of the rawest tones. All your hearing is the guitar ladies and gents. No filtery garbage. Pure tone, pure skill. The god Dicky.

Love Dickie Betts! This is back when he was very humble. I can only dream of the direction this band would’ve taken and all the great music we missed out on when Skydog and Berry passed. There’s no other band that could ever hold a candle to the Allman Brothers! RIP. Skydog,Berry, Gregg and Butch🙏
Dickey is a legend but he's not doing too well these days sadly
God bless you Dickey. Now one of the greatest bands are together playing music in heaven. 😢💔
Any version of this song is crazy , this melou sound is perfect hello from croatia to all allm.brothers fans over the world am. South rules
Yayy ima nas još iz hrv😁
Great to see these videos from the original lineup. I see the late Berry Oakley there❤
It's not the original lineup. Duane was gone by this time, and Chuck Leavell was on piano.
It had most of the original members. I saw Berry there. But yes, Duane had passed.
It's time for leavin, I understand. Thank you for everything Dickey Betts
Rest in peace Mr. Betts. Thank you a lifetime of pure soulful music. I was fortunate enough to meet you and let you know what an inspiration you were to me and millions of other guitar players. He was as humble as you could be. IMO he never got the recognition he deserved. His contribution to music with his country flavored blues and the twin guitar harmonies is immeasurable. R.I.P.
Just found out DB passed... Thanks for the music Sir.
