My dad was passed out on the couch. I decided to take his car for a joy ride. Picked up a few friends some alcohol a little green and wouldn't you know it this song came on as we were toking and drinking. All those friends have passed on. Thanks for the memories both to Allman Brothers and my friends ❤
Takes me back to January, 1976. 18 years old, Riding in a lime-green Pinto, listening to Eat A Peach, with a 17-year old, long-haired boy beside me. Going to Carolina cause he's not old enough to get married in Georgia
Possibly one of the absolute best guitar jams you will ever witness. Two of the most underrated pickers of all time. Effortless the magic they perform.
i totally agree, they are ALL BAD ASS to the bone, hell back in the day, what 45-50 yrs back. they were da shit. I've heard some stories, about the 'youngin' coming up. and how they'lld send him to Dickey at all to show 'em long before, to teach 'em a few licks....how do you get that sound. they told 'em no boy you , you're doing it wrong. put lighter strings on that boy. come away w/ that sound. to hear them in 21st century, whatta rare gem. sure enuff them youngins got schooled by the masters themselves. i woulda loved to see them.
2017 marks the tragic end of the Allman Brothers one of the greatest bands of all time. The recordings are forever timeless. The Allman Brothers are one of the perfect examples of American Exceptionalism in the music business. God Bless America, God Bless Our Troops, and God Bless the Allman Brothers Band.
The Allman Brothers Band must hold the record for having the most legendary guitarists under its belt: Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Warren Hayes, and Derek Trucks.
I'm so glad that I've seen them over 30 times & with every guitar player except for Duane.Wish I would of seen him.Love them all.God Bless the Allman Brothers
Reminds me listening to Eat a Peach as a 19 year old Citadel cadet driving my 240z around Charleston South Carolina with my girl in 1973. Boy those were the days my friend. I wish I knew then how good I had it. But still rocking to the Allman Br. retired back in Carolina.
Southern Rocks early statesmen. No one else sounds like the Allman Bros. or ever will. Thanks for the music and memories. Back in the day of "Album Rock" we'd put an album on and just let it go.
😔Thank you, Dickey, for all you have added to my life and for accompanying me through some of the most difficult. You will never be forgotten and your music will live forever. Go be with your brothers….Rest in Peace.
Groundpoundet I'm with you on that Gregg Allman the greatest R&B singer to ever grace any music genre Dickey Betts and Duane Allman two of the top 5 greatest guitarists ever
my husband used to sing me this in 1985. this yr we got married. He passed away in 2010 but this song always brings him right back here.. to the river...playing his guitar..
I attended my cousin's daughter's wedding not very long ago. I didn't really know the 25ish bride and groom and many other people there. To my astonishment, I heard the familiar notes to the opening of "Blue Sky" as the bride walked down the aisle.
True story. Saw the Allman Bros once in Macon. Georgia. 2nd row center. End of concert, bent over to get my coat, Dickie's bandana landed in my seat. Person behind me got it.
The recording executives didn't want Warren in the ABB because they felt he was too good. Dickey said it was a package deal, or the ABB wouldn't reunite back in '89
I am a huge fan of music. I listen to classical, reggae, some country, Mexican, old school rock, Christian. Out of all the songs, albums I’ve collected over the years, this is my favorite song, and this is my favorite version. I love the jam. Thank you so much Mr Betts for creating it. Your legacy will long live on. RIP
Jonathan Vanwilderingburglet That's true, but the other dude doesn't get nearly enough credit. The guy doing the slidey jam thing, whose name I can't be bothered to look up. He kicks some ass too.
Dickie Betts is the master of the freaking major scale.. how he can stay on the major scale, and run through riffs without it sounding "scaley" blows my mind.. just an incredible musician who has mastered his trade.
If you listen to his solo record ,"Let's All get together " you will hear many things .I always think of Betts ,as using the Diminished scale to get blue notes. In "Memory of Elizabeth Reed" he makes great use of the diminished . It is amazing how he makes the diminished fit so well in the context of major harmony .
Peter Dunbar non musicians will say it's nothing more than feeling and soul, but we musicians know better. He's actually mixing up the major scale with the mixolydian and also throwing in some jazzy little chromatic passing tones here and there. all very tasteful. superb guitar player.
There is nothing in the world to me like a great guitar band! Warren Haynes was a brilliant addition to the Allman Brothers and played tremendously and Dickey Betts in this particular performance was just on fire!
Dickey was like, wow, Warren ripped it, I'm gonna have to shred to keep up and he sure did. Even Greg looked mesmerized when he looked over and was watching Dickey.
dickey says "turn your love my way" and begins the solos, at which point i just drop, give up, surrender to the beauty of the song and enjoy. that's what music is all about.
JUST read GREGG ALLMAN pass away today so sad GREAT BAND .WE grew up in the right time 60s 70s early 80s the BEST of TIMES and MUSIC .!!!! RIP GREGG.thanks for all music . 64 still rocking THE WOODMAN
Hello all, I remember seeing the brothers at orange county fair grounds in Middletown NY back in 1988 or 89 it was a fantastic show, of course but when they started to play blue sky the clouds opened up and it started to pour... That rain just made everything even better!! What an amazing time!!! I've been fortunate enough to see the brothers multiple times at the beacon theater also!! Never ever a let down just pure magic each and every time!!!
Allmans. Reno. 1999ish. Three words. LOUDEST CONCERT EVER.....(ringing noise says 'hi'). Moved behind the opposing b-ball backboards for encore. Permanent aural damage. Totally worth it
Saw him I believe in 97 and 98, don't think Haynes was on the tour tours tho. Think one was trucks and there was another filler. Jimmy herring is also great.
@@SupernovaA-dj8dh yes he was saw them that year with Pearson at a beautiful outdoor amphitheatre in the woods between Salem and Portland,Oregon. It was a beautiful night!
I dont care how many times I watch this, it never fails to put a lump in my throat and my eyes well up .. just love it so much its incredible what those guys could do. I am in awe each and everytime I watch it.
Ain't that the truth. Just in case you haven't heard it check out the Blue Sky from 9/19/71 with Duane. It's beautiful th-cam.com/video/4JJ9lnUBBDU/w-d-xo.html
RIP Duane, Berry, Butch and Gregg. This song, to me, with the twin guitars, represents the best of what the Allman Brothers brought to rock in the early 70s. Rock on, Dickie!
Tom Dillon Yes...you're 100% spot on! I 💜 the Allman Brother's. It's truly saddening that Duane, Berry, Gregg, and Butch are no longer with us. All gone way too soon. Rest in Eternal Peace. Gone, but never forgotten...their music will live on forever.
Imagine the skill, hand and finger strength, not to mention callouses, it takes to play such clean, fast notes on those highest frets, where the guitar neck is attached to the body, for the length of time Betts did here. I don't understand how the greats, which Dickie Betts is one of the few, can play like this for hours, at a time, without having serious hand problems. It has to be a gift. Outstanding!!!
I think Warren takes up alot of slack. He,s one of the best I've ever heard and I'm 67 years old. Been a fan since the start. Miss the bad old days.lol
+Frank Steen Ha, pretty much. It took me years to get this one in the pocket, and even now, I can't play it with anywhere near as much natural awesomeness as Duane and Dickey.

RIP Mr. Betts. Thank you for decorating our time with your music.
RIP the legendary Dickey Betts. Thank you so much for creating this amazing music that will live on forever!

Rest in peace Dickie. Thank you for all you and your brothers have done. Your music will live on forever. 😢 God bless you.
Technicality aside, does anyone love this song cause it just makes you feel good?
Yes.
Pure happiness
What technica... Makes me high..this song..
Shazam
💙💙💙
This is God's favorite song.
Play this at my wedding and funeral
End of the era when the Brothers were one of the best on the planet.Aand this is one of their best often overlooked numbers.
Don’t fly Mister Bluebird I’m just walking down the road. That’s an All Time Classic line
Takes me back to January, 1976. 18 years old, Riding in a lime-green Pinto, listening to Eat A Peach, with a 17-year old, long-haired boy beside me. Going to Carolina cause he's not old enough to get married in Georgia
Me…19 years old in 1976. Fantastic band! These guys were a big part of my high school experience! I was a post-Woodstock hippie.
These old songs are incredible…and performed without auto tune. Epic guitar solos. No way out is also mind blowing.
Wow !,,,,this song and a little faith...will raise the dead !!!
RIP to the amazing Dickey Betts!
Possibly one of the absolute best guitar jams you will ever witness. Two of the most underrated pickers of all time. Effortless the magic they perform.

R.I.P. Dickey, thank you gracing us with musical talents for so many years. Look for those blue skies now, you've got them coming.
Farwell Mr Betts. And thanks for all those albums and songs. They will go on forever. In the year 2164
There are a few things in this world that sound as beautiful as the sound of the slide guitar in the hands of a master
Betts should be studied by young musicians.
Duane isn’t here.
Sorry. I see Warren now.
Yes Baby!
🍑Been listening to this song for 50 years now & it still gets my feets moving..🍑
Ditto on the 50 yrs & the FEETS!!!
This is the greatest song of all time. It lifts my spirit.
2017 marks the tragic end of the Allman Brothers one of the greatest bands of all time. The recordings are forever timeless.

Dickie's solo let the chills flow through me. Love when that happens.
Dickie "feels" the fretboard. Half the time he doesnt bother to look at the fretboard. Great
muscle memory. He fucking rocks
The Allman Brothers Band must hold the record for having the most legendary guitarists under its belt: Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Warren Hayes, and Derek Trucks.
I concur!!,!,
The yardbirds had 3 pretty good ones roll thru.
and Honorable mention to a short lived member: Jack Pearson!!!
Frijolero18 I’m not sure about trucks or hayes especially when you compare them to the likes of Winter, Beck, Vaughn or even Clapton.
@@johnbennett3714 haynes
Warren Haynes' slide solo sends me shivers, Fantastic feel.
My dad and I go see Govt Mule Everytime they come in our area..
Dude's voice and playing are amazing! Super good cat too
It's amazing that slide didn't melt, had that thing burning red HOT
Brings tears to my eyes.
I'm so glad that I've seen them over 30 times & with every guitar player except for Duane.Wish I would of seen him.Love them all.God Bless the Allman Brothers
Every day I wake Up and remind myself how lucky I am to Exist in a world with southern rock
Outlaws, Allmans, Skynyrd
Yessir
You hit the nail rat dmn straight on the head with that. I agree.❤
Best rip ever w haynes and betts EVER , haynes n betts Note for Note Unreal !!!!

Nothing Like the Allman Brothers to make you feel Joy....!
I-95 crossing the state border into Georgia, and then all the way to thru JAX to ST. Augustine. This is the music..This is their home!!
Play it loud!!
😔Thank you, Dickey, for all you have added to my life and for accompanying me through some of the most difficult. You will never be forgotten and your music will live forever. Go be with your brothers….Rest in Peace.
RIP - Thanks for the unforgettable experience of seeing you and your bandmates live 4 times since 1979.
Best video on TH-cam, hands down. 😍🥰
I agree, but check out Leslie West playing Theme From An Imaginary Western as a tribute to Felix Papalardi. Your welcome.
Beautiful song. I used to listen to it driving through beautiful North Carolina on a lazy Sunday morning. Flowing like a river, it was perfect.
This guy's slide work was brilliant but Duane's nuance can never be matched. Nobody will ever come close to SRV but Duane was in the conversation.
Watched this a dozen times today. Thank God we still have Warren.
These are true musicians. No fancy costumes, flashy show, just good music and talent.
G Hall right on. Music from the soul. so righteous.
Didn't need dancers and pyrotechnics.
exactly!!!! talent, and an instrument, no need for the rest of the nonsense we get with posers these days.
🍻🍄
These costumes were pretty fancy
Does anyone else here realize that Dickey's singing is just as good as his playing.. lot of appreciation for Warrens too
Groundpoundet I'm with you on that Gregg Allman the greatest R&B singer to ever grace any music genre Dickey Betts and Duane Allman two of the top 5 greatest guitarists ever
DICKY WAS THE BEST
THE COOLEST GUITARIST
HE HAD IT ALL
RIP
my husband used to sing me this in 1985. this yr we got married. He passed away in 2010 but this song always brings him right back here.. to the river...playing his guitar..
So sorry for your loss, Miss Karen. Lost my wife of 33 years in 2015. Jessica and Blue Skies always lift my spirits. Keep on keeping on.
+wmden1. most definitely!! back atcha ✊✊

Damn, so close!
Slide versus fingers and the winner was all of us great music fans
Goodbye Dickie thanks for the memories. Southern Rock baby the best.
Warren was such a breath of fresh air when he joined.
The Allmans might have not reformed had it not been for Warren
What a monster slide player he is, along with everything else, his intonation with the slide is pitch perfect.
Robert Whitcomb Two totally different sounds. Denise
The recording executives didn't want Warren in the ABB because they felt he was too good. Dickey said it was a package deal, or the ABB wouldn't reunite back in '89
A true Allman Brothers classic...and a classic forever. Dickie is an amazing player, Haynes does a great job on the slide. Great show!
MAKES ME PROUD TO HAVE BEEN BORN IN MACON, GA.
Makes me proud that every time I travel to the States I manage to make a detour to Macon to pay my respects. Beautiful country in Georgia. Cheers
I am a huge fan of music. I listen to classical, reggae, some country, Mexican, old school rock, Christian.

Jonathan Vanwilderingburglet its Dickey
Jonathan Vanwilderingburglet Warren doesn't suck either :)
Jonathan Vanwilderingburglet Warren Haynes aint no slouch, either
Warren haynes definitely doesnt suck :)
Jonathan Vanwilderingburglet That's true, but the other dude doesn't get nearly enough credit. The guy doing the slidey jam thing, whose name I can't be bothered to look up. He kicks some ass too.
Amazing. Dickey (with zero hesitation) follows up Warren's mind-blowing slide solo with am even more ferocious solo of his own. What a beast.
Thought it was Duane, scary...
Right? Lots of Duane in that solo. Explains why Gregg seems to be loving it
Its un fuckin believable
God I wasn't expecting that that's for sure!
Dickey ain't afraid of nothing...never has been.
My favorite ABB line up besides the original!!
This is a happy song that makes me smile, but I want to cry also. Great tune.
Dickie Betts is the master of the freaking major scale.. how he can stay on the major scale, and run through riffs without it sounding "scaley" blows my mind.. just an incredible musician who has mastered his trade.
I so agree, you said it better!
He mixes major and minor amazingly well, but his preference for major creates such a great and unique vibe.
+Peter Dunbar no b9 b3 b7

My dear brothers song great good vibes coming back ,a time of younger days always good to reminisce
Amazing! Legends!! Thank God for my generation!
There is nothing in the world to me like a great guitar band! Warren Haynes was a brilliant addition to the Allman Brothers and played tremendously and Dickey Betts in this particular performance was just on fire!
this song immediately takes me to the most perfect sunny day, no matter the weather outside
This was our wedding song in 1994
this is one of the best southern Rock songs on the planet :-)
Dickey was like, wow, Warren ripped it, I'm gonna have to shred to keep up and he sure did. Even Greg looked mesmerized when he looked over and was watching Dickey.
I can not find the words to tell you how much I love this song. I love the Allmans. I love the words that Dickey wrote and sings.
Yeah baby...... Dickie Betts jammin his ass off. God I miss him in this band!!
Me and my REAL BROTHER FOREVER AT HEARTS THOUGH MILES APART WE ARE ONE WITH ONENESS TILL TODAY LOVE YOU RON
dickey says "turn your love my way" and begins the solos, at which point i just drop, give up, surrender to the beauty of the song and enjoy. that's what music is all about.
What can one troubador say to another except that I sure wsh I could have "set in" with the others and maybe contributed some of my own "licks"!!!!!
There are only 2 genres of music:
1. Allman Brothers

RIP Dickie. My pops always raved about ya.
I LOVE THESE GUYS THEY DO NOT LET YOU DOWN.
There’s nothing quite like whistling this tune when you’re out fishing, and walking along the river

All time favorite song. Hands down. Never ever gets old. And I'm an A-RAB!!
good music will always transcend all cultures,it's a common thread in all humanity.
Salam from KSA, Ahki! I love jammin out to the ABB under this big ole blue sky out here. May God be with you and keep on jammin! Al Hamdillah!!!
That classic ABB sound. I will never be duplicated. Blues? Rock? Southern Rock? All of the above wrapped in one kick a$$ package.
two exceptional guitar players
RIP Duane, Berry, Butch and Gregg. This song, to me, with the twin guitars, represents the best of what the Allman Brothers brought to rock in the early 70s. Rock on, Dickie!
Tom Dillon Yes...you're 100% spot on! I 💜 the Allman Brother's. It's truly saddening that Duane, Berry, Gregg, and Butch are no longer with us. All gone way too soon. Rest in Eternal Peace. Gone, but never forgotten...their music will live on forever.

Seen the ABB many times. Just not enough. Damn I miss em.
WOW!
When they each ended their respective solos, and instantly went into harmonies- holy f'ing shit.
Just gorgeous playing. WOW!
I think I have heard every rendition of Blue Sky, but Dickey & Warren top them all with this one. Doesnt get any better then this!
Dickey's song. Warren great. This is the best ABB besides for the original.
I seen them do this twice the first time with Dwayne and the next time without same feeling both times great band
Dickie Betts is an American legend--- not many players have soul like this.
Play this after a hard day at work and your good to go.
One of those songs that, after you learn to play guitar, you listen to and say, "Holy shit!"
+Frank Steen Ha, pretty much. It took me years to get this one in the pocket, and even now, I can't play it with anywhere near as much natural awesomeness as Duane and Dickey.
Dickey looks like a biker/hippie. And you know what? He pulls it off. Amazing....
Thundergod129 He was a biker.
+cravinbob Gratefull he didn't suffer the same fate as Skydog R.I.P. 1946-1971 and Berry R.I.P. 1948-1972
