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 File Thanks for the music Dickeyβ¦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. Iβll miss hearing him play Dickey Betts and Great Southern - Nothing You Can Do - 4/15/1977 - Capitol Theatre (Official) |

As a trio we still cover Dickie's "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed".

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.

Political correctness is a devious weapon designed to silence those whose arguments cannot be refuted.
Embracing the "Progressive" American democratic party is akin to volunteering your time to erect the gallows you will one day swing from. |
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.

Iβm just gonna bump this thread again because Richard Betts was one of my heroes.
He deserves more than 2 pages. |

Was there ever a more complimentary guitar duo in rock and roll than Duane and Dickey at the ABBβs peak?
Seems most bands werenβt big enough to contain the egos of two great guitarists. RIP fellas |
