Tears in these old eyes. Great tribute by another FINE musician and his fellow players. Damn, Billy so YOUNG!!!! Just as we all once were....

Totally amazing thank you Billy for doing a excellent job playing a great song.

How lucky are we who grew up with the ABB, and now that we are on the homestretch of our time on earth, we have great artists like this to see us home?

Billy is a generational talent

I was a 10 yo kid when I heard the Fillmore album….55 years later, still the best. Will miss dicky betts. People didn’t realize how great he was

Non-guitarists will not appreciate how hard it was to play those licks on an acoustic guitar.

I love the big picture of dicky in the background in my opinion one of the greatest guitar players and I think he's a little bit underrated but he made the Allman Brothers who they are

This is the fourth time I'm watching this.....nice tribute to Dickie Betts Love Billy's playing..... R.I.P. Mr Betts

Fantastic tribute for DB, in FLA no less!

Lord, this is absolutely beautiful.

What a beautiful tribute and an awesome performance!!! Thank you Billy!! RIP Dickey❤

Great job Billy I know dicky would appreciate that awesome job Great picking

Thanks for keeping it classic. RIP Dickey.

I knew Rich since I was about 16. He would come eat with us. We were also together, with other family members playing, on his, American Music Tour. This was so sentimental to me. His photo, with Wil preforming his Rambling Man, great hit, is so beautifully done, and spiritually moving. No one could ever preform it better, than my precious Wil. I LOVE YOU WILLIAM LEA APOSTOL. God bless you and the Billy Strings band members and crew. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

He is rather good....and so are all these Players in this Band! A Joy.

This kid got Talent on Top of Talent 😊😊😊

Absolutely phenomenal. What a tribute.

A Great Tribute to Mr. Betts Here, Thank You, I lived on Highway 41 Before this song came out, Cousin Figel

Thank you Billy ❤

Outstanding tribute!!!!!

Holy hell this is so cool. My new favorite cover of a Dickie song! Rock on Billy!

I often despair about how the music has gone, the good music. But then guys like this come along, and there are quite a few. Some are as good or better than those they cover. And, the originals are still out there too, on the memory of the internet, and in my archives. So the music is not dead, it's sleeping, and can be awakened, and even re-born.

Thanks brother!!!

Thanks bro. Absolutely phenomenal.✌️🇺🇲

Wow!! Blown away! I still have the original album. Wow.

Thanks for the professionalism you achieved in the making of this most excellent tribute.

Mr father Leon played music with Dicky for a couple years and was on his Highway Call LP

Never heard an acoustic sound SO much like an electric. But that's Billy. Wonderful rendition.

Effects pedals hah but it's def cool. I plug in my Taylor to some mild distortion here and there. The beauty of music 🤘

Billy brings the talent and in superb taste.

I guess that's as good as it gets, now. That's just fine with me. Thanks, Billy.

I’m sure Dickey would have appreciated this, Billy and company. A beautiful tribute from one brilliant artist to another. RIP Dickey

It sucks that all the legends are passing away. Pretty soon all the classic rock bands will be gone. Seems like yesterday you could still see them all in concert.

All my fav classic bands are gone mainly Pink Floyd & ABB. Glad I got to see them live 8X and Gregg Allman solo band twice.

Awesome!

Thanks Billy!❤

RIP Dickey Betts!🔥🤘🏼

Great job.

Beautiful tribute and so well grooved out. Wow

Wow--love those riffs in the Strings Band style! Such great musicians. Thanks to whoever posted this.

Its not just one guy. Get to know the band. Billy Strings - Lead Guitar & Vocals Royal Masat - Contrabass Billy Failing - Vocals, Banjo Alex Hargeaves - Fiddle Jarrod Walker - Mandolin, vocals

We love u dicky we love u Billy 🎉🎉🎉

Rest Easy Friend. Rest Easy, And ThankYou for being oart of the sound track of my life. Billy done did ya right here partner ❤

Wow that was awesome.

cant stop watching this

Great cover

are we sure he isnt an actual Allman brother? like between his voice and guitar skills, he clearly would fit in the family and the band.

Damn that was fantastic. Made that acoustic sing. Great tribute!

start around 1:40 and watch the magic happen when billy flips that switch on his acoustic and makes it sound like a completely different guitar. wow.

Great job Billy ✌🏼

I saw Billy last year at pine knob I was amazed

Just like Dickey and the Brothers, without equal.

What a great tribute…

WOWZA ❤

Unreal WOW

And the music lives on! Fuck.

BMFS!!! NOMORE TO BE SAID AND HIS BAND ..INF*****CREDIBLE!

Anyone in NE Florida, gotta see someone, anyone at the St Augustine Amphitheatre, the AMP, at least once. Best place to see a band around. Billy Strings? Well, the best bands know all about the venue, they love playing there, it's fast becoming the East Coast's Red Rocks.

Nice tribute to the great Dickey Betts.

Nice one Billy 🙏

Dickie would be psyched.

NIce job !!!!!!

With the utmost respect for Dickey Betts: short version I bought Dickey a beer once in the 80’s which he politely refused saying “I’m on the wagon”. I’m the guy who bought Dickey the only beer he ever refused!

Nice little nod to “Jessica” at 3:50
