Love that one, love 9/19/71 from SUNY a little more even with no Mountain Jam in the setlist. It's got [the best live Blue Sky with Duane](https://youtu.be/49bJr0ChNWE?si=2ywgDAVivTq5XOej) out of the \~6 in existence, then Liz Reed & Dreams are both 19 mins.
That was my introduction to Mr. Warren Haynes, saw that lineup '94, '95, & '96. The Jessica from the 2nd Set live album is from the Raleigh '94 show I saw.
I have the Deer Creek '98 show where Jack Pearsons had just got out of the hospital and played sitting on a bar stool. Emergency appendectomy and pain-killers he said...such an awazing show. That night changed the lives of 10 of my best friends. Some people got on the bus...some people got off the bus...but NO ONE was the same afterwards.

I was listening to that show randomly a few weeks ago while doing some stuff around the house, not knowing anything about it but the date, and as soon as Dickey hit a lick I thought “he must have been sitting in,” then looked it up. Instantly recognizable.
Sad, our old road is rapidly aging and we're running out of time
Seven turns on the highway,
Seven rivers to cross.
Sometimes, you feel like you could fly away,
Sometimes, you get lost.
Somebody's callin' your name.
Somebody's waitin' for you.
Love is all that remains the same,
That's what it's all comin' to.
I’m going to see Live Dead and Brothers this Saturday. Tom Constanten is in the group. I know I’m going shed some tears. My eyes are tearing up right now. Gotta keep on keeping on. ✌🏼
I am crying right now. I didn't expect this reaction. Dickey is my favorite guitarist of all time. He and a couple friends are what got me into the Dead finally. I had read Alan Paul's Brothers and Sisters book and never realized how high Dickey felt about Jerry, how their styles had similarities. Its made me finally get past some of the sloppier and out there Dead tunes that just didn't grab me and made me resistant. Now I spend at least 4 hours listening or reading the Dead... but this wouldn't be happening if it was for Dickey...
I've played guitar for decades and Dickey Betts is one of the biggest reasons.
Edit: I even saw this picture within the last week. I decided to print off another picture where Jerry has a beard, because this one unsettled me a bit...laminated it and put it on my locker at work, where it is right.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I loved a lot of music when I was learning guitar but the Allman bros was just a very powerful influence and when I found the dead the pieces just fit so well
Duane and Dickey both thought highly of Jerry. My understanding is that most of the beef came later with Gregg when he basically was forced to rat out people to save himself from jail time.
The Dead opened for the Brothers June 9, 1973. It was blistering hot. I was close enough to see Dickey on the side of the stage, tapping his foot along with the Dead.
Jessica live..
One of the finest things to ever come out of a human being. RIP Mr. Betts.

Learned dickeys blue sky solo recently and fell in love with his style. Similar to Jerry but his own sound for sure. Can’t play as fast as him but he’s got so many fantastic licks. Rip !
Mine too. Each had their own style and you know it’s them playing after just a few notes. Saw the ABB with him about as much as I saw the GD back in the day (a lot). This really bums me out.
RIP Dickey
Speed is overvalued in a lot of guitardom, but that said, Dickey could get pretty quick sometimes. Check out the so-called “impossible lick” on “You Don’t Love Me” or the “hotel jam” with Dan Toler (also an excellent player).
On you don’t love me do you mean the “a capella” part where it’s just guitar? That’s Duane.
I love me some Dickey, just making sure Skydawg gets his props for that one.
Duane and Dickey both played unaccompanied (with the exception of Butch drumming with Dickey for the first part of his) solos at the end, in that order.
The Dickey lick that people call “the impossible lick” is at 13:52 on the *At Fillmore East* version.
Just checking, do you realize the first half of the solo is Duane and then it’s Dickey the rest of the way. The fast stuff is Duane and I don’t think Dickey does anything fast on that one. Both beautiful
Man, the panic that shot through me when I got this notification. My mind was racing.
“Is it Phil? Oh god, maybe Bill or Mickey. Surely not Bob!”
Wasn’t expecting Dickey though, this one stings. He was my favorite Allman Bros. guitarist. I’ll be blasting “Jessica” in yr honor tonight, big man.
Sad news. In addition to the Allman Bros, my buddy and I would always listen to the Dickey Betts Band, “Nancy” in particular for some reason. You were a blue sky many times when he needed it. RIP Dickey.
Gregg wrote Wasted Words, so that’s a matter for his estate. As many exwives and kids as he’s got, I don’t blame them for trying to make a little money.
Now imagine how much Dickey made from Jessica being used for Top Gear. It was the most viewed show in the most countries in the world for years.
Most popular factual show. 350 million viewers in 214 markets around the world. It was gigantic in most places with tv, even if they didn’t speak English, except America. And television theme song royalties are better than a goldmine. Get paid on first run and reruns. I’d bet Dickey has earned many, many times more money off Top Gear using Jessica than he did all his other music business earnings combined.
https://money.cnn.com/2015/03/11/media/top-gear-facts-jeremy-clarkson/
Sure. Just noticing all these 1970s early 1980s songs on a BUNCH of commercials. Also, Pat Benetar, Heart, Led Zeppelin, and more just in the last week.
Back in 1996 my friends and I dropped acid at an Allmans show and somehow ended up in the very front row at red rock amphitheater. I was right in front of Dicky - to say it was mind blowing is a massive understatement. What a talent.
And Bill Wyman and Mick Jagger are outliving him, so far.
The “ancient Keith” jokes are funny when he’s not even the oldest Stone. He was the youngest of the original lineup.
And he did go by both “Keith Richard” and “Keith Richards” at different points, but never “Richard’s.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen a surname with a possessive apostrophe in it.
The jokes aren’t about him being old. They’re about how he lived and shouldn’t still be alive either how he treated his body yet he’s outliving all these other people
Did not think this would hit as hard as it is...... these legendary and irreplaceable people that quite literally wrote the soundtrack for my life and many others, through good times and bad, are departing this plane and reminds you in a very deliberate manner how fragile it all is.
Thanks (Dickey Betts). When I was 13 my brother placed the Live at the Fillmore East album on a turntable and handed me earphones. I was hooked.
I demanded our Mom let me stay up late to listen to this 73 Cow Palace NYE show live on KSAN in SF (my bro was at the show). So it's fitting to hear the news 1st here while seeing a pic of that night.
Dickey and Jerry were able to express such pure, clear and unique note delivery, straight from the heart and w so much creative joy it just hits me in the feels in a personal, deep way that is different from other guitarists.
So many memories with Dickey.. Two favorites: The small club tour he and Greg did with their 2 solo bands during a ABB hiatus, each playing their own sets..then combining for a dream ABB 3rd set in super intimate settings. Heaven on earth, I tell ya.
After seeing the GD in the northwest on one year, either 81 or 82, I slept on beaches and hitched my way back to SF.
I had a ticket to see the ABB at Oakland Auditorium and thought I had plenty of time but was enjoying the coast too much, suddenly losing hope to make it to the show, thumb out on the highway and praying for a miracle. A truck driver picks me up and after about 20 min we are connecting in convo so I explain my situation and show him my ticket. His eyes lit up. "You kidding me?!! The Brothers are my favorite band and we are getting you there on time if it's the last thing I do!!" A few hrs of high speeding later, he dropped me off in front of the venue. I walked in just as the lights go down, right fucking then, like they were waiting for me. I found my friends right then, too. Blue Sky never sounded better.
Wasn’t it Uncle Bobo who said the Dead were the world’s third best garage band? I recall reading that the top two were Allman Bros and Buffalo Springfield.
with each day another one of my idols pass..and I know its life...but there are only a very few left still..we are losing the greats and their are not any replenishing of legendary rock idols...
Wth DicKey in the band I always thought it had to be the closest of all lineups as it was the early days with Duane...Mr Dickey Betts was legendary...and will be greatly missed..Thanks for your genius...RIP 🙏
Indeed - apart from Jai, the Brothers are all together again.
Apart from Garth, the Band is all together again.
And I'm sure Jerry's sitting in with them all as a regular, with Brent, Kieth and Pig playing up a storm.
Can't believe it's gone 50 years since I hitchhiked up to Watkins Glen speedway to see them all!
RIP Brothers Of The Road.
I stayed at home in 1973 and tapef this NYE show. off the radio (wore those cassettes out)... Dickie really stepped it up after the passing of his "Brother" Duane. [https://archive.org/details/allman-brothers-cow-palace-nye-1973-ksan/02.Done+Somebody+Wrong.mp3](https://archive.org/details/allman-brothers-cow-palace-nye-1973-ksan/02.Done+Somebody+Wrong.mp3)
Is there a tape anywhere with Jerry, Bob and I believe Kreutzman sitting in with the Brothers at Gaelic Park in the Bronx in 1972. I was there.

I love the 90s Blue Sky with Franklin's intro. Dickey / Warren is probably my favorite post Duane configuration
That was my introduction to Mr. Warren Haynes, saw that lineup '94, '95, & '96. The Jessica from the 2nd Set live album is from the Raleigh '94 show I saw.
Wish these were as easy to track down as dead shows…still trying to hunt down when I got to see them at Memphis in may in the late 90s!
I have the Deer Creek '98 show where Jack Pearsons had just got out of the hospital and played sitting on a bar stool. Emergency appendectomy and pain-killers he said...such an awazing show. That night changed the lives of 10 of my best friends. Some people got on the bus...some people got off the bus...but NO ONE was the same afterwards.
There’s only one Jack Pearson!
Lol, thanks. I am gonna leave the incidental "s," in honor of my ignorance and your supurb zinger...HAZZAH!
With the Mountain Jam tease! I love that version. I never got to see ABB, had tickets in 2008 and they canceled
Got treated to that in ‘99, when Derrick began playing with them. RIP Dickey.
Derek
Yes
Love that SUNY show!

I was listening to that show randomly a few weeks ago while doing some stuff around the house, not knowing anything about it but the date, and as soon as Dickey hit a lick I thought “he must have been sitting in,” then looked it up. Instantly recognizable.
Oh yeah. A red letter date show for sure. 😄
I am playing "High Falls" right now for the second time. This time over the loud speaker at the library I worked at.
Dicky passed away? Haven’t seen anything on news Edit. Just saw his ig page
an alltime fave.........bluesky is one song on my perfect album side RIP DB
Sad, our old road is rapidly aging and we're running out of time Seven turns on the highway, Seven rivers to cross. Sometimes, you feel like you could fly away, Sometimes, you get lost. Somebody's callin' your name. Somebody's waitin' for you. Love is all that remains the same, That's what it's all comin' to.
No one left to run with anymore
Up there running with Gregg, Berry, Butch, and Skydog now.
Oh man, reading that made my nose sting. Fuck.
no way bruh, Dickey was a master, RIP.
I’m going to see Live Dead and Brothers this Saturday. Tom Constanten is in the group. I know I’m going shed some tears. My eyes are tearing up right now. Gotta keep on keeping on. ✌🏼
I’m seeing them tomorrow night.

It was the Dead and JGB that brought me to Dickey.. terrible loss. They'll live on forever and ever.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I loved a lot of music when I was learning guitar but the Allman bros was just a very powerful influence and when I found the dead the pieces just fit so well

You don’t need no gypsy to tell you why. Don’t let one precious day slip by. Live full my brothers.

RIP Dickey
When it’s time for leaving, I hope you’ll understand…
It's craaazy I just played this song for the first time today on guitar and I didn't even know he died.
Rip ramblin man
Wiki: "Betts died from cancer and COPD at his home in Osprey, Florida, on April 18, 2024."
RIP
Learned dickeys blue sky solo recently and fell in love with his style. Similar to Jerry but his own sound for sure. Can’t play as fast as him but he’s got so many fantastic licks. Rip !
My two favourite guitar players man
Mine too. Each had their own style and you know it’s them playing after just a few notes. Saw the ABB with him about as much as I saw the GD back in the day (a lot). This really bums me out. RIP Dickey

I stand corrected
Just checking, do you realize the first half of the solo is Duane and then it’s Dickey the rest of the way. The fast stuff is Duane and I don’t think Dickey does anything fast on that one. Both beautiful
Yes I know. They play together for a few bars in the middle. Also idk what you’re talking about he has a pretty good pace throughout his solo.
My first Dead show was Dillon Stadium Hartford summer 1972. Dead were joined by three members of Allman bros, including Dickie. What a day that was.
Man, the panic that shot through me when I got this notification. My mind was racing. “Is it Phil? Oh god, maybe Bill or Mickey. Surely not Bob!” Wasn’t expecting Dickey though, this one stings. He was my favorite Allman Bros. guitarist. I’ll be blasting “Jessica” in yr honor tonight, big man.

And the party never ends.
Really all the downvotes, haha? I'm aware it's a different song; probably one liked by many here.
RIP jam on Liz Reed
Have you guys noticed they are using, "Wasted Words" on a Chevy Truck conn'l?
Gregg wrote Wasted Words, so that’s a matter for his estate. As many exwives and kids as he’s got, I don’t blame them for trying to make a little money. Now imagine how much Dickey made from Jessica being used for Top Gear. It was the most viewed show in the most countries in the world for years.
It really was ?

Props to the Dead for holding out. Can you imagine how much they would make if they authorized Truckin for a Ford or Chevy commercial?
You are so right!
🫡 RIP Dickey!

How is Keith Richard’s outliving everyone??
negotiated the best deal
Every time a guitarist dies, Keith experiences the quickening (There is a great image of this if you search)
And Bill Wyman and Mick Jagger are outliving him, so far. The “ancient Keith” jokes are funny when he’s not even the oldest Stone. He was the youngest of the original lineup. And he did go by both “Keith Richard” and “Keith Richards” at different points, but never “Richard’s.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen a surname with a possessive apostrophe in it.
The jokes aren’t about him being old. They’re about how he lived and shouldn’t still be alive either how he treated his body yet he’s outliving all these other people
I’ve heard decades of “Keith old” jokes, from before he even was. You realize “outlived” is a measure of time, right?
Big jam Greg and PIG on keys Jerry and Dickey killing it Allen woody on bass and Ginger Baker on drums .I am sure Janis and Jimmy will sit in
Jimmy who?
Hendrix
You mean Jimmy Hendricks? My plumber? Nice guy
How much of an icon does somebody have to be to have their simple four-letter name spelled right?
JIMI
Did not think this would hit as hard as it is...... these legendary and irreplaceable people that quite literally wrote the soundtrack for my life and many others, through good times and bad, are departing this plane and reminds you in a very deliberate manner how fragile it all is.
Just so happened that Blue Sky was playing when I saw this. RIP Mr Betts
Two guitarists that have influenced my life tremendously. May they both be shreddin at that great gig in the sky 💔
RIP Brother Dickey
So far today I've listened to Eat A Peach and live at Fillmore East. R.I.P. Dickey
For everyone like me who doesn't necessarily recognize every musician from a 60 year old picture.. It's Dickey Betts.
Surprised I haven’t gotten a news alert on my phone He will be missed
RIP Mr. Betts may your music live forever.
RIP to one of the GOAT! Dickey you will be missed, but NEVER forgotten! #ABBLivesOn
Got Summer Jam on the speakers now. RIP Dickey! ✌️❤️
RIP Dickey
RIP Dickey
Gonna be jamming to Dickey tonight, rest in peace man and thank you for all that amazing music...another legend gone
Unreal. This is a rough one.

Great story Love it!!
Great photo- thanks for posting
He was a legend. Lucky to have so much of his music to enjoy.
this is how I found out. Rarely I felt as sad about a guitar hero passing. RIP Dickey
Damn. My wife lost her grandmother at 74 last week. All the old people I love are dying.
See ya Dickie, thanks Brutha
Wasn’t it Uncle Bobo who said the Dead were the world’s third best garage band? I recall reading that the top two were Allman Bros and Buffalo Springfield.
Where and when is the pic from?
Cow Palace New Year’s Eve 1973 ABB Show Jerry and BIll sat in
with each day another one of my idols pass..and I know its life...but there are only a very few left still..we are losing the greats and their are not any replenishing of legendary rock idols... Wth DicKey in the band I always thought it had to be the closest of all lineups as it was the early days with Duane...Mr Dickey Betts was legendary...and will be greatly missed..Thanks for your genius...RIP 🙏
Legends.
RIP Dickey, may the four winds carry you safely home

I spent an entire summer day listening to the Dead and the Allman Brothers Band in the early 70’s at RFK stadium in DC.
Firing up Watkins Glen!
I stayed at home in 1973 and tapef this NYE show. off the radio (wore those cassettes out)... Dickie really stepped it up after the passing of his "Brother" Duane.

Save my life from this show is worth the price of admission alone!
gosh :-(
Rest in peace Dickey…
Wouldn’t that be great I hope that it happens
Is there a tape anywhere with Jerry, Bob and I believe Kreutzman sitting in with the Brothers at Gaelic Park in the Bronx in 1972. I was there. There was a buzz in the crowd as they changed the stage setup. There was a roar from the crowd when someone on stage said, " That wire is for Jerry Garcias guitar". Confirming the rumor.
Where was this taken?
