From like 1995 until 2009 every saturday night my old man would have a few beers and tell me the same thing..."THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND IS THE MOST UNDERRATED FUCKING BAND OF ALL TIME!" Usually right after his guitar solo with the broom while sweeping the house. Now im 30...my floors are clean, my broom is in standard tuning...and the allman brothers are the most underrated fucking band of all time
Comment of the Day, your dad was right. I never saw them in 70s but from 89 to 2000ish I saw them dozens of times and there weren't many who could put on a show like them. Now I'm going to crank up Allman Brothers 9/19/71 SUNY Sunnybrook and sweep my house (if you haven't heard that show with Dickey and Duane,especially Blue Sky I recommend it) Cheers.
Try tuning down a half tone. But yes, THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND IS THE MOST UNDERRATED FUCKING BAND OF ALL TIME! We would have gotten on marvelously, your old man and moi.
Nah. When your album is selected for the Library of Congress ad being Culturally, Historically, or Aestheticly important, you're not underrated. They're finally getting the credit they so rightly deserve, IMO. And we know it wasn't chose for aesthetics, art & beauty or philosophy type stuff, so its historically or culturally important. That's one hell of a label to put on "At Fillmore East", the best live album ever produced. ❤️ But I get it. It was the same was at my house. Except it was... "You know we named you after Duane Allman the best guitar player to ever live"...while wearing out every Allman Brothers album my parents owned. And here I am at 38 years old and you'll hear the same words out of my mouth lol. Love me some ABB. In fact, Duane inspired me to learn to play guitar myself, at 38 yrs old. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Almost 50 years after his death. He made a hell of an impact on culture and rock n roll in general. Not to mention pretty much creating Southern Rock almost by himself. I can't believe Derek Trucks played WOODSTOCK!!! At 14 or 15 freakin years old. He was born in '79
I was one of the lucky people that got to see The Allman Brothers Band with the original lineup…September 18,1971….I was a Grand Funk Railroad guy..My best friends “The Spook” met Mike Callahan(sound board) at the airport and he invited us to the sound check and saw to it ws had tickets at will call… I’m here to tell you that my life changed that night… I became an ABB fan for life… Duane and Dickey, Berry, Butch, Jaimoe and Gregg were and remain the best I’ve ever seen… however I’ve seen them many times and w/various players….they never ever failed to amaze me and everyone attending….The best band ever…in my book!!
That’s awesome. I was at this performance. Went with two good friends I'd known since elementary school. When we got to the designated satellite parking lot, and were waiting for the shuttle to bus us into the concert grounds, I ran into my sister’s college roommate, who was with two of her friends. Now we had a crew of six of us, which made our overall festival experience that much better. Allman Bros were one of the highlights of our whole weekend experience, along with a bunch of other bands we saw. Happy to see this whole set pop up in my recommended videos, and I don’t think I’ve heard it since I saw it live.
Roy Mullins no doubt. Whats so amazing is there's really no rhythm guitar just 2 ridiculous leads. Warren Haynes kills it but Dickey wrote the song and I've seen him kill that part many times
DUANE WAS GOOD FOR SURE,,, I SAW HIM LIVE IN 1971, AND EVEN GOT ONE OF HIS GUITAR STRINGS THAT HE PLAYED ON AND BROKE! BUT DUANE WAS NOT AT ALL AS TASTY AS DICKEY HAS ALWAYS BEEN! DUANE WAS RAUNCHY MOST OF THE TIME,, AND OTHER THAN HIS SOLOS ON THE "EAT A PEACH" ALBUM,,, ALMOST NEVER HEARTFELT, OR SWEET LIKE DICKEY!!!
Those days are gone but was totally the best I ever lived. I am 69 yr old now but have never forgotten those concert days and my mom would count down the minutes till I got home
We ACTUALLY SHOT THIS in Analog HDTV, a standard which was successful in Japan but never here in the USA. There are hours and hours of Woodstock 94 in NHK's archives. (For you technoids, here's some fun: we recorded this on highly modified 1" versions of Sony's normally 1" type C machines. It was called 1125-line Hi-Vision. The footage shown here is from some very low quality dub, but these bands were all recorded in good-as-or-better-than-Blu-Ray quality. Sad that the quality sucks here.) I was there for every minute of it. My job was Simulcast Transmission Coordinator.
They should release all the Woodstock Films in 4k in there complete entirety with backstage footage that's never been seen as well. I know all this exists been its been documented by the directors who were there and the hours of film they actually shot for each Woodstock.
I met Gregg in 1971-2 at the Chela Bay hotel next door to Jamaica Playboy club. The entire property is now Beaches Boscobel. I have always been a huge fan. 🌎☮️❤🌠⭐🌄😎🎥
SOUL SHINE like it changed our lives even though we are away from each other we are still connected,,,,,, always remember The Day we held hands and hugged each other with compassion,,,,,, I think you sweetie for those months of loving memorys it' means so much to me 💞
Dickey Betts is a modern day Mozart or Beethoven. He has composed the most incredibly beautiful masterpieces of all time. 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑 God bless you Dickey Betts for all the joy you have brought to so many all these years‼️‼️
@@truthawaits4u458 Tremendous talent the whole band - now and then ! allman brothers band forever - - rest in peace - - duane allman - - butch trucks - - and now dickey betts - -
The best concerts I saw in the 90’s were ABB shows and I saw waaay too many concerts in those days. Every show was fantastic. Those guys knew how to jam.
Yeah, I saw them about a month before this show and they pretty much burned the place down. It was only my second concert - I was 15 and didn't really know much about them - I actually went to see Blues Traveler. The Allmans came out and changed everything I thought music was. It was insane. I couldn't even put it into words how it affected me. And as a sidenote - I saw Dickey drink an entire bottle of Jack throughout the show, and when they walked out for the encore - he was drinking a can of beer. Lol. Him and Warren were playing like they were possessed all night. They were just devastating.
The Allman Brothers IS right up there with the Stones and the Beatles as the greatest group of all time. This concert is proof. Dickey Betts in his prime. Warren Hayes- amazing. Greg's vocals and Hammond. Percussion, bass. Just a masterful, powerful performance. Jam bands tend to ramble- not the ABB. Not one wasted note. Just awesome.
Absolutely epic, legendary, larger than life, aggressive, there is no adjective too grand for this brutal Allman Bros period. RIP to them all, we have lost some giants among us.
Was blessed enough to attend my 1st Allman Brothers Band show at the world famous Tower theater in upper Darby PA, with this lineup. Seen them at the Beacon in 1999 and many many other times. But this lineup will always be super special to me. Thank you Lord thank you Jesus
Setlist with corrected time stamps (in case you don't want to listen to the full concert): 0:01:48 - Statesboro Blues 0:07:40 - Blue Sky 0:15:04 - The Same Thing 0:23:58 - Soulshine 0:30:45 - Midnight Rider 0:35:00 - Jessica 0:46:58 - No One To Run With 0:53:25 - Back Where It All Begins 1:03:50 - One Way Out (Dickey Intro) 1:04:34 - One Way Out 1:15:19 - Whipping Post
donald thompson Totally agree, bro. Dickey has always been overshadowed by Duane's legacy, even with Duane's career being as short as it was. The reality is that ABB had two of the top 10 best rock guitarists of all time in the same band. True music fans realize Dickey's amazingness and that's all that really matters in the end.
First ABB concert 3/12 1971 FILMORE EAST NYC it s been a long beautiful ride ever since thanks to all the brothers and the fans who made each show a great memory.
RIP Dickey Betts. I saw them a couple of months after this. 10/29/94 Seattle center. My birthday. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Front center stage. Wish I could find a copy..
Jimiplayscobo Derek has his own thing going. He’s good but he ain’t no Warren. That’s just my opinion. I feel he’s a far better straight finger lead player than slide.
@@detectivewilsonfbi8928 I Have been thinking the same thing !! Sirius XM !! Yes saw them in 92 at Great Woods !!! No Bells and Whistles needed for them !! Just Great Southern Rock !!!! Hands Down !11 The Greatest !!!!
There is no such thing as “Southern Rock”! Rock & Roll was BORN in the South! Elvis-Jerry Lee-Chuck Berry-Little Richard are the 4 Kings of Rock & Roll and are all Southern Boys, we need to rid the language of that term once and for all.
Hard to believe The Allman Brothers Band is no more. I was luck y enough to see them during the 70's, 80's, 90's and into their last days as the most influential Southern Rock and jam band of all time.I was also fortunate enough to have met a few members of the band over the years. Dickey Betts along with Duane Allman were two of the biggest influences on me as a guitarist. However, Dickey Betts has always been my favourite during his years with ABB. His masterpiece's Jessica and In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed will pass the test of time for years to come. I noticed towards the end of Whipping Post in this video that he was a little pissed at his 'Cry Baby Wah-wah' pedal as it seemed to have been stuck in the On position,... he was stomping on that thing like it was a Rattle Snake he wanted to kill, lol. RIP, Gregg, Duane, Barry and Butch,... you will forever be missed by the ABB Nation. Dickey, please stick around for a many more years.
I would love to own a DVD with EVERY SINGLE CONCERT from this show. I was at this show but couldnt be at multiple places at once and it was so damn croweded it took an hour to get 20 feet sometimes LITERALLY. I sometimes shed a tea remembering this concert. it was the last big thing my grandmother did for me before she passed. Bought me tickets to this show. I was such a horrible kid and didnt deserve it.
1970: "First Heard The ABB with their "Revival/ Love is Everywhere" from Idlewild South and instantly became a Fanatic Allman Brothers Band Fan. "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" Made Me Upgrade from Rhythm/ 2nd Lead Guitarist into Lead Guitarist. My 1st Rock Band "Velvet Rock" was formed in 1971. Dickey Betts is My #1 Most Underrated Lead Guitar player of All Time!!!" 😊😍🙋😎😘
The allman brothers family revival is touring this year 2023. I going to the show in st Louis in November. Omg devon allman sounds like his dad and his uncle. Duane betts sounds like his dad. Going to be a amazing show. Check out the tour locations
Many thanks to whoever upload this. I am deeply in your debt. I was living in New Orleans at the time with my now ex. I paid whoever the cable company at the time for the whole Woodstock. I taped it, and my ex lost the tape! I was beyond angry! Blockbuster put out Woodstock 2 on tape. The Allman Brothers were not on it! Can you imagine? Even the announcer said it was easily the BEST band of the entire show. I've been looking for this for over 25 years. Some of the best I've vver seen! Downloading now .I WILL NOT lose this copy...
I had a 2T hard drive almost full. 1,000s of music, movies, all sorts of videos from years and years. It crashed and I lost everything. And so much of it cannot be replaced. I had the original Joe Cocker '94 Woodstock in Hi Def and Dolby sound like this one. Not here anymore. Just bad second generation VHS. And on and on and on. I now have TWO 3T drives and a program that downloads to BOTH drives at the same time. I WILL NOT lose all my stuff again.
I saw ABB at the Shoreline Ampitheatre in Mountain View CA about this time of their career, and it is still in the top 3 shows I have EVER seen. RIP Gregg ♥
I completely agree!!! There'll "never" be another Allman Bros., Dickey Betts, or Warren Haynes' unique slidework... but let's not forget Derek Trucks "and" his wife now!! "Strat"
Yes, so much for, the Allman Bros., especially the brother who came to my home, I, just got off my first graves, Duane would play his guitar for me until I fell asleep! He, worked at, Br. & Root, how sweet could things get?HuggyKiss, from me to entire family, cc .
Que guitarrista...muchos ni lo conoceran...peor para ellos..junto a dual en lis allman y luego con haynes..que locura..tengo casi todos los discos de allman y lynyrd..que sabran?ni peor ni mejor q los grandes guitarristas.que personaje..gracias a los allman por toda su musica..abrazos
🎉I first met the Allman Bros. Band while I was doing stage work at the Birmingham - Jefferson Civic Center, Birmingham, AL back in the mid seventies. I was fortunate to run into and sit in with Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, and Gregg on jam night in early 90 at a little place on Anna Maria Island, Bradenton, FL called "Turtles". Our names were written on the bar. One of the greatest bands and genuine people to ever play, party, and to meet. "Strat" '23
Amazingly beautiful and happy sound Dickie delivers ..of course Dwayne is sorely missed and that's why I quit the motorcycle as my recreational pastimes..so says jenny. No more bike angelo
Proud to be a native Georgian, and super proud of the amazing legacy of our home state heroes: The Allman Brothers! Even Gregg's initials are "GA" - ha! But seriously, growing up in south Ga, this music is intertwined with everything . The Allman Bros. and Lynyrd Skynyrd are such integral entities to our cultural aspects and identity , here. The sad thing is that as I get older I realize that the younger generations have not been as exposed to this heritage as much as I was. Should never let it die . I think a revival (pun intended!) of traditional/"Classic"/"Southern" Rock N Roll is long,long overdue. Rap, hip hop and disposable Pop have been the main genres for the last 20 years ....... it's time to bring back Rock N Roll !!
My first Brothers show was at the HORDE fest in 94 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in MD. ABB headlined, following Dave Mathews and little known Blues Traveler. Saw them a few more times. Watched this live on MTV, and has always been one of my favorite shows. Brings back so many memories.
I saw them in concert 2 or 3 times in the 70s. I don't really remember details as I was drinking and drugging so much that the whole decade is kind of a blur...
I was there with my 5yr. Old daughter right up front,l can remember her saying l can't believe what I'm seeing and hearing.i'll never ever forget this!! Jerry b 64yrs.young.
Lord bless the Allman brothers. I was seeing them alot in the late 80s-90s. Hard to believe Gregg just passed and Butch not long ago. And man did I Love Allen Woody. Saw him play with Mule on the last night of his life. Phew..he was phenomenal that night and then he was gone the next day. That was rough. Gregg is especially rough losing as he's been a music hero of mine for 30+ years. Always wished him and Dicky would get back together just once more. With Gregg passing it's the end of an era. RIP GREGG ALLMAN Gone but never forgotten!! Thankfully Warren, Derek and Oteil will keep the spirit alive along with Gregg's kids, Dicky and every musician on the jam scene. Long live the Allman brothers. Play it sweet for the good lord
Dickey Betts always had one of the sweetest guitar tones. What a player! Check out his brilliant solo album (as Richard Betts) "Highway Call", let it transport you to a simpler place and time.
. DICKIE BETTS THE GUITARIST WHO CARED ENOUGH TO WORK HIS MELODIES ALL THE WAY UP DOWN THT NECK OF HIS GOD INSPIRED GIT FIDDLE ALL TOP 40 S AND HITZ . WE LOVE YALL CAME TO DO WHAT YOU CAME TO DO ON OUR AUTOMOBILE RADIOS , HOME HI FI CONCERT HALLS STADIUMS . THANK YOU MISTER BETTS AND CREWS
I WAS 15 AND WAS ADMITTED BACKSTAGE WITH MY NEW JEAN JACKET FINGER TIP LENGTH . QUARTER POUND POCKETS . THE YOUNG FOLKS AT THE BLUE JEAN STORE TURN THEIR BACKS AND LET ME WALK OUT WITH IT WAS MEANT TO BE . LOVE YA MEAN IT
best bands I played in were the ones where we hated each other because we all were talented and had our own ideas but those are always the bands were it comes together and cooks its a great thing as long as everybody is committed to the final product
I just watched again and again '82 Florida concert... pure heaven to my ears.. Dicky Betts and Dan Toler.. just.. that pure guitar sound back then was so much cleaner, without all that driven sound. Sure i liked that, like i was knocking to heavens door. Dicky Betts and Dan Toler.. much better match than they are.. all respect to Warren Haynes. But if you are class of Dicky Betts.. you play with almost clean sound just as God, as he does. Not clean, clean sound, but not driven compressed sound which anybody good player can play. That's why there's these legends as Dicky Betts. Class act one of kind.
If you haven't heard it check out Allmans show from SUNY Sunybrook from 9/19/71. The whole show is great but the Blue Sky with Dickey and Duane is a barn burner. Cheers
I agree ...I saw them in 1971, 18 yrs of age, with the incredible Duane Allman and Berry Oakley on bass, with Dickey, playing his old Les Paul Standard Gold top...Goldie, in the famous, 500 standing room only Whiskey A go go club on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, CA. Duane was coming off of recording Derek and the Dominos, LAYLA LP, with a famous UK guitarist and one of rocks most underrated vocalist/keyboardists, Bobby Whitlock, who is still living in the USA and producing great art...oil on canvas ...Bellbottom Blues, co-writer ...
They never show enough Jaimoe if at all! There are two drummers in the ABB! He is the jazzy color that gives it that great southern greasy funky feel with Butchie. Sure wish they'd show him once in a while!
The Allman Brothers band is for me absolutely one of the best Rockbands ever. They played the finest south state rock music and wrote a huge music history. You can also watch the concert of Fillmore East with them. I wish you much fun!
BEST F/B in CONCERT LIVE EVER...I WAS FORTUNATE TOO SEE THEM ...ALL IN THE DAYS BEFORE THEIR UNTIMELY DEATHS OF DUANE..BERRY...& GREG...GREAT.. MUSUC...
Drugs or no drugs, dickey betts made Abb what it is. The sound wouldnt be the same without him. The sweet guitar play that he does, and all the arrangement. Its tons of work! He is a special guy. If you listen to the solo albums of him and you know some music, you will understand that he is a great musician.
I agree completely. For a guy who has angst on a personal level, his melodies are so sweet along with his tone. Sorry, but I prefer Dickey over Warren any day. I know it’s harsh to say, no disrespect to him. Oh and the complexities of Elizabeth Reed, that’s is intricacy at its finest.
@J T you are completely correct on all the above. I had the honor to work a few ABB shows when I was backstage manager at the Warfield in San Francisco. Unfortunately, Dickie was not in the band at that point. Butch was probably the nicest man in the biz. All around, they are pure genius, especially Dickie and Gregg had so much soul. I guess pain will helps with that. Cheers mate.
@@TiffanyT-LaDolceVita Tiffany, did you by any chance work at the Warfield when Larry Carlton played his closing show for his 87' tour ending?? Thanks!!! Sonny.
Indeed. Agree 💯%... Dickey Betts never got the credit deserved. He's the Rodney Dangerfield of music. Great guitarist/song writer/performer/Arranger/definitely, the stuff that made ABB. I mean no disrespect to Gregg Allman or, Duane Allman. They were meant to be. Just like brother's they argued, but when it came down to do it and do it right. Nobody's better than Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts... Together, they were the Allman brothers band. Bett's guitar playing alone, is worth seeing and hearing live... Fantastic... Beautiful
Man, does this bring back memories. After a really stressful period of days and nights during OIF, I finally got a chance to return to my quarters. I played "Soulshine" over and over and over again. Thank you ABB for that song and God Bless y'all. I believe that song kept me from going off the deep end. Thank you for posting and be safe 🙏
I saw the Allman Bros when they were the Allman "Joys" and later on at the National Guard Armory in Eastlake...suburb of Birmingham, Alabama. I think I was 14 or 15. The show was amazing and of course, it was the original Allman Brothers, who I saw several times after my initial exposure. At 70 years old, I still listen to them at a minimum of of once a week. What a gift they were.
Allman brothers family revival tour is starting. Check out the tour dates. Devon allman sounds like his dad and more so like his uncle. Duane betts sounds and plays like his dad
I saw this version of the band in 1992 at Blossom Music Center in Ohio with Blues Traveler opening up. That was a great show. The original four along with Warren, Allen, and Marc were the only lineup (in my book at least) that did the original band justice.
There's a good bit more to what happened to Dickey! He was screwed over by some of the people that should NEVER have crossed him up so badly! I consider myself very fortunate to have been struck by the Allman Bros. lightnin way back in 1970! I couldn't get enough of them!!! I became a free-lance writer for 3 college papers, and then wrote for "Good Times" rock newspaper in NYC area. I became close with the publicity folks at Capricorn Records, the Allman's record label. I interviewed the "Dixie Dregs Band" on Long Island, and met Twiggs Lyndon, the Allman Bros. road manager, who was now managing the Dixie Dregs. And we enjoyed our interview together, and he was so nice to me, and let me actually PLAY Duane Allmans 1959 Cherry Sunburst Les Paul!!!!! I almost passed out when he said to pull the coffin case out from under the seat of his cube van! I noodled around for almost 20 minutes on that beautiful guitar!!! He told me that Gregg gave it to him for all that he went through when Twiggs went to jail for a bar fight with the manager of a club that refused to pay the band! Accidentally Twiggs killed the man and suffered over that! But Twiggs told me something that I had NO IDEA that Dickie went through. Dickies wife, Sandra Bluesky, who Dickie absolutely loved and adored,, was cheating on Dickey, having sex with Capricorn records owner, Phil Walden!! And it devastated Dickey, which is understandable! Twiggs went on to tell me that in retribution for Walden fluking Bett's wife,, Dickey got somewhat even, by walking into the studio and taking an AXE and a hatchet to the entire studios mixing boards/consoles!!! Can't say as I blame him one tiny bit there!!!!! Anywho,,, that's just ONE thing (there's more!) Betts suffered at the hands of management and other supposedly close friends!!!!!!
That sucks, but it didn't hurt Dickie's guitar playing. Reading up on this Twiggs Lyndon guy, he came back to the ABB in '78 and suggested Phil Walden come back as their manager and Betts was pissed so it didn't work out. If your story is true, imagine the gall of Lyndon to suggest that! His lawyer got him off of the murder charge by pleading insanity, which if these stories are true, I believe he was.

Blues, Jazz, country, or rock and roll, Allman Brothers Band could serve it up.
Dickey Betts is just amazing............ He has to be one of the greatest guitar players in the universe.
Roy Mullins no doubt. Whats so amazing is there's really no rhythm guitar just 2 ridiculous leads. Warren Haynes kills it but Dickey wrote the song and I've seen him kill that part many times
That's very true Joe.
You think Dickey is good you should listen to Duane and he was in his early 20's He was gonna get even better,
You do realize Dickey was in his early 20's too..and was on par with Duane.... people disrespect Betts way to much because his last name isn't Allman
DUANE WAS GOOD FOR SURE,,, I SAW HIM LIVE IN 1971, AND EVEN GOT ONE OF HIS GUITAR STRINGS THAT HE PLAYED ON AND BROKE! BUT DUANE WAS NOT AT ALL AS TASTY AS DICKEY HAS ALWAYS BEEN!

The Brothers made the scene with me and my brothers, back in the 70's. A good time was had by all. Bless you boys.
Allmans were on fire in the 90s and seeing them was a summer staple of my misspent youth. Good times
The best concerts I saw in the 90’s were ABB shows and I saw waaay too many concerts in those days. Every show was fantastic. Those guys knew how to jam.

And as a sidenote - I saw Dickey drink an entire bottle of Jack throughout the show, and when they walked out for the encore - he was drinking a can of beer. Lol. Him and Warren were playing like they were possessed all night. They were just devastating.
I saw the Allman Brothers in the early 70s in New Orleans. I'm 70 years old and still listening to them. ❤
Doesn't sound mis-spent at all --- Spent wisely, on the contrary!
The Allman Brothers IS right up there with the Stones and the Beatles as the greatest group of all time. This concert is proof. Dickey Betts in his prime. Warren Hayes- amazing. Greg's vocals and Hammond. Percussion, bass. Just a masterful, powerful performance. Jam bands tend to ramble- not the ABB. Not one wasted note. Just awesome.
I'd take them over the battles and the stones easy
Back in the day before all the people came !🥲
Warren Haynes bro....
i love them also, especially the original band with Duane and Berry, but nobody is in the conversation with the greatness of the Beatles.
Stones nor Beatles would make a pimple ABB's ass not even on the same planet
Absolutely epic, legendary, larger than life, aggressive, there is no adjective too grand for this brutal Allman Bros period. RIP to them all, we have lost some giants among us.
Was blessed enough to attend my 1st Allman Brothers Band show at the world famous Tower theater in upper Darby PA, with this lineup. Seen them at the Beacon in 1999 and many many other times. But this lineup will always be super special to me. Thank you Lord thank you Jesus

It's hard to believe how good Dicky Betts is on a guitar. He was never given the credit he deserved.
donald thompson Totally agree, bro. Dickey has always been overshadowed by Duane's legacy, even with Duane's career being as short as it was. The reality is that ABB had two of the top 10 best rock guitarists of all time in the same band. True music fans realize Dickey's amazingness and that's all that really matters in the end.
Dickey Betts was ranked #58 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time list in 2003
A Pirrone I think he deserves to be much higher than that. He is easily in the top 15-20 in my opinion.
Both Dickey and Duane are in the top 10 all time as far as I'm concerned
YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN!!
So sad to hear about Dicky Betts another good one gone. He will be missed!
SAD, all my childhood guitar heros are gone. Stevie, Jerry, Dickey,Albert,and Chuck... Am I next
They were on fire here ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALLTIME!
Most Important
ONE OF AMERICA,s GREATEST BANDs EVER ,THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ,AS GOOD AS THE A,B,BAND PURE TALENT .😎🎸🔊🎵☮️ BOB.
Their kids are carrying on and they are pretty DAME GOOD!!!!!!
Their kids are carrying on and they are pretty DAME GOOD!!!!!! A lot of talent running through those veins!!!
The Angry Man tricked us all! Jah is the Source of true freedom; even from the Illuminati!!
Dame?
So glad to have been at this show..!!!!!! RIP Sir... You WILL be missed for sure..!!!
Me too. Have my ticket and pics and stuff in an album. The absolute best weekend of my life and my dad was jealous I saw these guys. lol.
ABB is one of the greatest bands ever. They nailed it here!
First ABB concert 3/12 1971 FILMORE EAST NYC it s been a long beautiful ride ever since thanks to all the brothers and the fans who made each show a great memory.
RIP Dickey Betts. I saw them a couple of months after this. 10/29/94 Seattle center. My birthday. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Front center stage. Wish I could find a copy..
this never gets old man…. 🎸🎸🔥🇺🇸
Warren Haynes is a beast with that slide.
Mark Wessels Totally Agree , Duane would be proud!
Yes he is. And then when they added Derrick trucks a few years later. You had two of the best slide players I have ever seen. Duane would be proud.
Warren Haynes is the closest I’ve heard come to Duane on slide. Jack Pearson’s is a close 2nd.
@@jamlive6650 Gotta say Derek Trucks has to be included in that mix. When he joined the band Warren took a back seat to him on the slide :) Peace
Jimiplayscobo Derek has his own thing going. He’s good but he ain’t no Warren. That’s just my opinion. I feel he’s a far better straight finger lead player than slide.
Dickey Bett’s n Warren Hayes are spectacular together ,Allman Brothers Rule!! Just like summer jam all over again!
I still have the T-shirt I bought at "Summer Jam."
The Greatest Southern Rock Band Of All Time !!
@@detectivewilsonfbi8928 I Have been thinking the same thing !! Sirius XM !! Yes saw them in 92 at Great Woods !!! No Bells and Whistles needed for them !! Just Great Southern Rock !!!! Hands Down !11 The Greatest !!!!
James is my middle name ! I was the ripe old age of 11 in 1971 !! I want to go back to those days !!! LoL
Im happy to be part of the family of rock and roll
@@timp3035 amen on that brother
There is no such thing as “Southern Rock”! Rock & Roll was BORN in the South! Elvis-Jerry Lee-Chuck Berry-Little Richard are the 4 Kings of Rock & Roll and are all Southern Boys, we need to rid the language of that term once and for all.
Hard to believe The Allman Brothers Band is no more. I was luck y enough to see them during the 70's, 80's, 90's and into their last days as the most influential Southern Rock and jam band of all time.I was also fortunate enough to have met a few members of the band over the years. Dickey Betts along with Duane Allman were two of the biggest influences on me as a guitarist. However, Dickey Betts has always been my favourite during his years with ABB. His masterpiece's Jessica and In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed will pass the test of time for years to come. I noticed towards the end of Whipping Post in this video that he was a little pissed at his 'Cry Baby Wah-wah' pedal as it seemed to have been stuck in the On position,... he was stomping on that thing like it was a Rattle Snake he wanted to kill, lol.
RIP, Gregg, Duane, Barry and Butch,... you will forever be missed by the ABB Nation.
Dickey, please stick around for a many more years.
We had the good year brother and sister s im happy to be part of the family of rock and roll

I was there what a great time I had so many good bands back when concerts were affordable and the musicians played with heart n soul
This band and Marshall Tucker Band and any other southern band were my favorite ....
Dickey playing a PRS , doesn't matter whether s strat or whatever, he is awesome on any axe.
What a Band, loved this line up....A Pleasure to watch and listen to. Miss the Beacon !!!!
bigblue1762 I miss them @ The Beacon too !
I would love to own a DVD with EVERY SINGLE CONCERT from this show. I was at this show but couldnt be at multiple places at once and it was so damn croweded it took an hour to get 20 feet sometimes LITERALLY. I sometimes shed a tea remembering this concert. it was the last big thing my grandmother did for me before she passed. Bought me tickets to this show. I was such a horrible kid and didnt deserve it.
1970: "First Heard The ABB with their "Revival/ Love is Everywhere" from Idlewild South and instantly became a Fanatic Allman Brothers Band Fan. "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" Made Me Upgrade from Rhythm/ 2nd Lead Guitarist into Lead Guitarist. My 1st Rock Band "Velvet Rock" was formed in 1971. Dickey Betts is My #1 Most Underrated Lead Guitar player of All Time!!!" 😊😍🙋😎😘
Loving it Dickey and the outstanding brilliant Warren Haynes blows my mind.
The allman brothers family revival is touring this year 2023. I going to the show in st Louis in November. Omg devon allman sounds like his dad and his uncle. Duane betts sounds like his dad. Going to be a amazing show. Check out the tour locations
I was there. First thing Sunday morning if I remember. Nice way to wake up. Traffic was after them I think. So many good bands and mud
What a beautiful energy they maintain regardless of drama. They are selfless in their sound. We have been blessed and they surely will be.
Many thanks to whoever upload this. I am deeply in your debt. I was living in New Orleans at the time with my now ex. I paid whoever the cable company at the time for the whole Woodstock. I taped it, and my ex lost the tape! I was beyond angry! Blockbuster put out Woodstock 2 on tape. The Allman Brothers were not on it! Can you imagine? Even the announcer said it was easily the BEST band of the entire show. I've been looking for this for over 25 years. Some of the best I've vver seen! Downloading now .I WILL NOT lose this copy...
I had a 2T hard drive almost full. 1,000s of music, movies, all sorts of videos from years and years. It crashed and I lost everything. And so much of it cannot be replaced. I had the original Joe Cocker '94 Woodstock in Hi Def and Dolby sound like this one. Not here anymore. Just bad second generation VHS. And on and on and on. I now have TWO 3T drives and a program that downloads to BOTH drives at the same time. I WILL NOT lose all my stuff again.
ahhhhhhhh Dickey..... one of the best. Warren is great as always but Dickey is something else
Too bad he couldn't sober up & live up to his full potential, the band would have ended on a much better note!!!
Warren was, is the best period!!!!
Warren is every bit as good as Dickey they are both Awesome But Duane was Great.th-cam.com/video/FUvxRjYqjEQ/w-d-xo.html
Duane was on a whole other level.
Damn. I was there. I honestly tripped the whole time. I so enjoyed seeing them play, not many bands can compete with them. True souls. ❤
Kicking ass and taking no names- Dickey Betts was on a mission! That man could have played for hours! He's just the greatest!
I saw ABB at the Shoreline Ampitheatre in Mountain View CA about this time of their career, and it is still in the top 3 shows I have EVER seen. RIP Gregg ♥
Sometimes there are things created on this earth that just can't be replaced, and folks this is one of them.
I completely agree!!! There'll "never" be another Allman Bros., Dickey Betts, or Warren Haynes' unique slidework... but let's not forget Derek Trucks "and" his wife now!! "Strat"
As Greg said, “what do I need Clapton for, I have Dickie”
I thought that was Duane. After meeting EC and playing on the Layla track.
Yes, so much for, the Allman Bros., especially the brother who came to my home, I, just got off my first graves, Duane would play his guitar for me until I fell asleep! He, worked at, Br. & Root, how sweet could things get?HuggyKiss, from me to entire family, cc .
Que guitarrista...muchos ni lo conoceran...peor para ellos..junto a dual en lis allman y luego con haynes..que locura..tengo casi todos los discos de allman y lynyrd..que sabran?ni peor ni mejor q los grandes guitarristas.que personaje..gracias a los allman por toda su musica..abrazos
In the words of Duane. "I'm the famous one. Dickie is the good one. "
Why would he say that, thats if he said it
Wow, Dickey, Warren, and Allen Woody(RIP) on the stage together! Thanks for sharing!
Not Duane, it's Dickey Betts!
Perodeformero My bad, I'm getting senile in my old age (too many Allman Bros. shows.)
Perodeformero OK, corrected my post. Thanks for catching my mistake.
@@Perodeformero he said Dickey Betts
Glad to see Warren Haynes and Allen Woody playin together one more time
🎉I first met the Allman Bros. Band while I was doing stage work at the Birmingham - Jefferson Civic Center, Birmingham, AL back in the mid seventies. I was fortunate to run into and sit in with Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, and Gregg on jam night in early 90 at a little place on Anna Maria Island, Bradenton, FL called "Turtles". Our names were written on the bar. One of the greatest bands and genuine people to ever play, party, and to meet. "Strat" '23
Dickie and Warren kicked ass at this show !
Amazingly beautiful and happy sound Dickie delivers ..of course Dwayne is sorely missed and that's why I quit the motorcycle as my recreational pastimes..so says jenny. No more bike angelo
Proud to be a native Georgian, and super proud of the amazing legacy of our home state heroes: The Allman Brothers! Even Gregg's initials are "GA" - ha! But seriously, growing up in south Ga, this music is intertwined with everything . The Allman Bros. and Lynyrd Skynyrd are such integral entities to our cultural aspects and identity , here. The sad thing is that as I get older I realize that the younger generations have not been as exposed to this heritage as much as I was. Should never let it die .
I think a revival (pun intended!) of traditional/"Classic"/"Southern" Rock N Roll is long,long overdue. Rap, hip hop and disposable Pop have been the main genres for the last 20 years ....... it's time to bring back Rock N Roll !!
Totally agree with you, I Live in Savannah Ga, 47 years now. But from Augusta
My first Brothers show was at the HORDE fest in 94 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in MD. ABB headlined, following Dave Mathews and little known Blues Traveler. Saw them a few more times. Watched this live on MTV, and has always been one of my favorite shows. Brings back so many memories.
happy 75th b-day Dickey♥♥ we love you brother♥♪♪♪♪♥
Right on brother
I saw them in concert 2 or 3 times in the 70s. I don't really remember details as I was drinking and drugging so much that the whole decade is kind of a blur...
What a great time to grow up,. Dickey is somethin else..The ABB were genius . r.I.p Gregg Allman Duane, Barry . and all the others... Thanks 🌈🍄✌🏻☮☮☮☮🎼
It's Berry
Hello Everybody, what a beautiful day for a beauty show. What an Amazing Show and
my Favorite Southern Rock + Roll Band !!
Thank You Boys for Ever !!
Devon allman and duane betts are touring in the allman brothers family revival tour. Omg they sound like their dads. I am going nov 25th in st Louis
Dickey Betts had a totally unique sound,he cannot be mistaken for any other guitarist!
He was the soul!
Cabot listen to ABB without Betts
I was there with my 5yr. Old daughter right up front,l can remember her saying l can't believe what I'm seeing and hearing.i'll never ever forget this!! Jerry b 64yrs.young.
Lord bless the Allman brothers. I was seeing them alot in the late 80s-90s. Hard to believe Gregg just passed and Butch not long ago. And man did I Love Allen Woody. Saw him play with Mule on the last night of his life. Phew..he was phenomenal that night and then he was gone the next day. That was rough. Gregg is especially rough losing as he's been a music hero of mine for 30+ years. Always wished him and Dicky would get back together just once more. With Gregg passing it's the end of an era. RIP GREGG ALLMAN Gone but never forgotten!! Thankfully Warren, Derek and Oteil will keep the spirit alive along with Gregg's kids, Dicky and every musician on the jam scene. Long live the Allman brothers. Play it sweet for the good lord
I discovered my parents Win Lose or Draw album in 77. I was 9. The Brothers have, ever since, been my Bible.
They played kick ass shows! Rocked ever venue they played
Dickey Betts always had one of the sweetest guitar tones. What a player! Check out his brilliant solo album (as Richard Betts) "Highway Call", let it transport you to a simpler place and time.
I love hearing them play Blue Sky in the key of G. And especially it's awesome hearing Warren rip that fuckin slide solo!

Superb performances, Greg Allman and Dickey Betts.
One of the few times you’ll see multiple Soldanos on one stage. And, for a blues concert, at that. Incredibly cool video.
best bands I played in were the ones where we hated each other because we all were talented and had our own ideas but those are always the bands were it comes together and cooks its a great thing as long as everybody is committed to the final product
I just watched again and again '82 Florida concert... pure heaven to my ears.. Dicky Betts and Dan Toler.. just.. that pure guitar sound back then was so much cleaner, without all that driven sound. Sure i liked that, like i was knocking to heavens door. Dicky Betts and Dan Toler.. much better match than they are.. all respect to Warren Haynes. But if you are class of Dicky Betts.. you play with almost clean sound just as God, as he does. Not clean, clean sound, but not driven compressed sound which anybody good player can play. That's why there's these legends as Dicky Betts. Class act one of kind.
Dangerous Dan doesn't get the respect he deserves.
If you haven't heard it check out Allmans show from SUNY Sunybrook from 9/19/71. The whole show is great but the Blue Sky with Dickey and Duane is a barn burner. Cheers
Phenominal Guitar Petformance
The Best Allman Brothers Live Since Live at the Filmore . Some Background Noise, So Good it Doesn't Matter
Was there dancin and singin! What a great time and grateful to have this memory!!
Dickey was long overlooked but truth is he was instrumental creating the Allman brothers sound
Music so fine, like excellent wine and it lasts for all time. Rock and Roll is a friend of mine !!!
That's classic Southern Rock at it's finest!
Love. Them
I agree ...I saw them in 1971, 18 yrs of age, with the incredible Duane Allman and Berry Oakley on bass, with Dickey, playing his old Les Paul Standard Gold top...Goldie, in the famous, 500 standing room only Whiskey A go go club on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, CA. Duane was coming off of recording Derek and the Dominos, LAYLA LP, with a famous UK guitarist and one of rocks most underrated vocalist/keyboardists, Bobby Whitlock, who is still living in the USA and producing great art...oil on canvas ...Bellbottom Blues, co-writer ...
Duel lead guitar was just becoming popular back then and slide guitar!
Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden and many more. A/B started it though way back. It wasn't just becoming popular then
I think this was the best lineup next to the original. Allen Woody was awesome and the band was gritty but tight!
They never show enough Jaimoe if at all! There are two drummers in the ABB! He is the jazzy color that gives it that great southern greasy funky feel with Butchie. Sure wish they'd show him once in a while!
That's the quiet brilliance of Jai. You almost never see him doing anything notable but if you take him away the whole thing falls apart immediately.
The first member Duane chose to be in the band.....
The Allman Brothers band is for me absolutely one of the best Rockbands ever. They played the finest south state rock music and wrote a huge music history.
You can also watch the concert of Fillmore East with them.
I wish you much fun!
R.I.P Duane and Gregg Allman. Brothers of the Mighty South. Respect.
Don't forget Barry Oakley and Butch Trucks.
Dickey Betts and Warren Haynes beautiful twin guitar solos the best I have ever heard what a beautiful sweet southern rock band❤
That voice!!! That sound!! Classic! Man it doesn't get much better than this.
Those boys play tight & right via just jamming out another day !!
Love the solo at 56:00 🤪
Warren Haynes mondo guzungas
Dicky Betts is the strongarm in this family. ❤❤
God Bless their souls, every single one of them. Amen.
BEST F/B in CONCERT LIVE EVER...I WAS FORTUNATE TOO SEE THEM ...ALL IN THE DAYS BEFORE THEIR UNTIMELY DEATHS OF DUANE..BERRY...& GREG...GREAT.. MUSUC...
What a grate set it was! Absolutely was filled with soulshine from it.
I forget . The almans brothers shows I went to were some of the best concerts I ever went to. I was spoiled . Miss u Greg Duane
Drugs or no drugs, dickey betts made Abb what it is. The sound wouldnt be the same without him. The sweet guitar play that he does, and all the arrangement. Its tons of work! He is a special guy. If you listen to the solo albums of him and you know some music, you will understand that he is a great musician.
I agree completely. For a guy who has angst on a personal level, his melodies are so sweet along with his tone. Sorry, but I prefer Dickey over Warren any day. I know it’s harsh to say, no disrespect to him.
Oh and the complexities of Elizabeth Reed, that’s is intricacy at its finest.
@J T you are completely correct on all the above. I had the honor to work a few ABB shows when I was backstage manager at the Warfield in San Francisco. Unfortunately, Dickie was not in the band at that point. Butch was probably the nicest man in the biz. All around, they are pure genius, especially Dickie and Gregg had so much soul. I guess pain will helps with that. Cheers mate.
@@TiffanyT-LaDolceVita Tiffany, did you by any chance work at the Warfield when Larry Carlton played his closing show for his 87' tour ending?? Thanks!!! Sonny.
Dickey had a temper,, and it would get in the way most times!
Indeed. Agree 💯%... Dickey Betts never got the credit deserved. He's the Rodney Dangerfield of music. Great guitarist/song writer/performer/Arranger/definitely, the stuff that made ABB. I mean no disrespect to Gregg Allman or, Duane Allman. They were meant to be. Just like brother's they argued, but when it came down to do it and do it right. Nobody's better than Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts... Together, they were the Allman brothers band. Bett's guitar playing alone, is worth seeing and hearing live... Fantastic... Beautiful
This lineup was fire every damn time! Miss it for sure.
Man, does this bring back memories. After a really stressful period of days and nights during OIF, I finally got a chance to return to my quarters. I played "Soulshine" over and over and over again. Thank you ABB for that song and God Bless y'all. I believe that song kept me from going off the deep end. Thank you for posting and be safe 🙏
Balad 03-04'. Jammed these boys too, fuck the sandbox!
This is the kind of outdoor concert I'd love to be stoned and just sit back and chill.
I saw the Allman Bros when they were the Allman "Joys" and later on at the National Guard Armory in Eastlake...suburb of Birmingham, Alabama. I think I was 14 or 15. The show was amazing and of course, it was the original Allman Brothers, who I saw several times after my initial exposure. At 70 years old, I still listen to them at a minimum of of once a week. What a gift they were.
Allman brothers family revival tour is starting. Check out the tour dates. Devon allman sounds like his dad and more so like his uncle.
Duane betts sounds and plays like his dad
I saw this version of the band in 1992 at Blossom Music Center in Ohio with Blues Traveler opening up. That was a great show. The original four along with Warren, Allen, and Marc were the only lineup (in my book at least) that did the original band justice.
Blessed to grow up in the 70s , saw the Bros numerous times over the years . One of Americas greatest bands! Legends , thanks for posting this 👊🏻🇺🇸
There's a good bit more to what happened to Dickey! He was screwed over by some of the people that should NEVER have crossed him up so badly! I consider myself very fortunate to have been struck by the Allman Bros. lightnin way back in 1970! I couldn't get enough of them!!! I became a free-lance writer for 3 college papers, and then wrote for "Good Times" rock newspaper in NYC area. I became close with the publicity folks at Capricorn Records, the Allman's record label. I interviewed the "Dixie Dregs Band" on Long Island, and met Twiggs Lyndon, the Allman Bros. road manager, who was now managing the Dixie Dregs. And we enjoyed our interview together, and he was so nice to me, and let me actually PLAY Duane Allmans 1959 Cherry Sunburst Les Paul!!!!! I almost passed out when he said to pull the coffin case out from under the seat of his cube van! I noodled around for almost 20 minutes on that beautiful guitar!!! He told me that Gregg gave it to him for all that he went through when Twiggs went to jail for a bar fight with the manager of a club that refused to pay the band! Accidentally Twiggs killed the man and suffered over that! But Twiggs told me something that I had NO IDEA that Dickie went through. Dickies wife, Sandra Bluesky, who Dickie absolutely loved and adored,, was cheating on Dickey, having sex with Capricorn records owner, Phil Walden!! And it devastated Dickey, which is understandable! Twiggs went on to tell me that in retribution for Walden fluking Bett's wife,, Dickey got somewhat even, by walking into the studio and taking an AXE and a hatchet to the entire studios mixing boards/consoles!!! Can't say as I blame him one tiny bit there!!!!! Anywho,,, that's just ONE thing (there's more!) Betts suffered at the hands of management and other supposedly close friends!!!!!!
That sucks, but it didn't hurt Dickie's guitar playing. Reading up on this Twiggs Lyndon guy, he came back to the ABB in '78 and suggested Phil Walden come back as their manager and Betts was pissed so it didn't work out. If your story is true, imagine the gall of Lyndon to suggest that! His lawyer got him off of the murder charge by pleading insanity, which if these stories are true, I believe he was.
He is a psycho.
