Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BolivarBill: One time in Buffalo a few of us were hanging out before the show when Dickie walked up and joined us to chat. After a while he looked at his watch and said: "time to go in, come on". He took us in the stage door with him. I still have the unused ticket. That's a cool story. For real. |

Truly one of the greats; easily one of my top 5 favorite guitar players of all time. Hit me like a ton of bricks when I heard the news today.
I got to see him at (what I think) was his last concert in Minnesota back in 2014. Great show; he even signed my Les Paul after the show!  Attached FileThanks for the music Dickey…you will be missed

Dickey was one of the greats, and every bit as good as Duane in my opinion.
The Great Southern was such a great band too. Dickie and Dangerous Dan made a fantastic combination. Both just so amazing at composition and putting the notes on tape. I’ll miss hearing him play  Dickey Betts and Great Southern - Nothing You Can Do - 4/15/1977 - Capitol Theatre (Official) |

One of his better efforts from the Great Southern days. This one reminds me of the Mountain Jam for some reason.

Probably saw them 20ish times from 89 to 96. This one hits me as hard as Garcia passing. There will never be anything like watching Dickey going nuclear during a guitar solo, melting the air while his 1959 Gibson Gold Top rips through his Marshall at top volume. God speed Forrest Richard Betts.

Allman Brothers were one of my top 5 favorite bands.
Only saw them once July 1, 1979 at the Legend Valley Dixie Jam in Thornville Ohio with the Outlaws, Molly Hatchet, Pure Prairie League, and McGuffey Lane. I still have my ticket, by the time I got there the fence was tore down and people were just walking in.  |

I really miss seeing the ABB live. Absolutely the best and my favorite band of all time . Saw Dickey solo a few times after he left the band always amazing. His son is carrying the torch for him . Duane Betts has his own band and also plays in the Allman Betts band with Devon Allman and Berry Oakley Jr.

Damn. I'm a huge ABB fan, have been since early on. I fortunately got to see them when they were all alive... at the Jax Beach Auditorium. I've seen them many times since. Great music.

I’m just gonna bump this thread again because Richard Betts was one of my heroes.

Was there ever a more complimentary guitar duo in rock and roll than Duane and Dickey at the ABB’s peak?
Seems most bands weren’t big enough to contain the egos of two great guitarists. RIP fellas |
