That’s my Artisan Mobile recording truck behind stage right, recording this Allman Brothers performance to a pair of 24 track recorders on 2” tape, as was the custom. This show is on KZread elsewhere and I’m just seeing this version - only days after a sad farewell to Dickey Betts - for the first time since that lovely winter afternoon. I think I’m liking the sound of this ‘official’ version better. It sounds like a completely different, and better, remix, perhaps even the one used for the RCA LaserDisc that was made. It is definitely a much better video cut, and the crowd mics I recorded are featured as they should be. I’m thrilled to be taking this trip down memory lane 42 years after that beautiful Gainesville, Florida day.

Can anyone please tell me the exact date of this wonderful concert at the University of Florida? Discogs says: Recorded in Gainsville FL, University of Florida 10-26-1980. This KZread video: 5/14/1982. But the “full” concert on KZread (not all songs are on the official DVD Brothers Of The Road) dates back to 1/16/1982, kzread.info/head/PL_XT7NkpsoDQ7-fEInElD4D383eteu-DP. And another strange thing: why is one of the best Dickey Betts concerts presented on the official DVD without obvious high points like Ramblin' Man, One Way Out, Southbound? If it were up to me, I would officially release on all physical media (LP, CD, DVD, etc.) this FULL (!!!) concert at the University of Florida with a dedication to Dickie Betts.

There Will Never Be Another Dickey Betts Either. G.O.A.T. R.I.P. Gregg. Thank You .

RIP Dickey Betts thanks for the music!

Greatest Southern rock, live concert and improvisational band of all time. Live at Fillmore East in '71 best ever.

Tight performance. Great show. Beautiful day. Great audience. Everyone looked great. RIP Dickey Betts and all those that passed from the Allman Brothers.

I was at this show as a student at University of Florida in '82. Free show at the Bandshell as always...

RIP DICKIE. THANKS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL LEGACY.😊

RIP the original, the only Allman Brothers

RIP. Mr. Betts. I had this on vhs and wore it out great memories.

I have been a fan since the Fillmore east days. RIP DICKIE BETTS.

RIP Toler Brothers, Butch Trucks and Gregg Allman and all the other ABB that have left us. You all were one of a kind.

Happy birthday dickey have loved your playing for years God bless.

Welcome to the Dickie Betts Talent Show! Incredible feel for the guitar, great country voice and nice little leg-body-clapping as well. Living Legend

I'm here to say goodbye to Mr Betts! I've seen you guys so many times high and I wish I was sober so I could remember the music clearly

RIP Dickey Betts, could play slide and lead guitar as shown on this post! Amazing songwriter and musician.

Mortality sucks as you see it coming and there is nothing you can do about it. You wake up one day realize your one of the Ole timers you spoke of in youth. RIP BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

I love that Jessica was the first song. A song of pure joy 💖

Dicky doesn't need to hide behind distortion or a bunch of phony effects. You hear every note and his skill is incredible.

You are correct about his guitar sound. A very clear tone with enough overdrive to give him the sustain if he wanted it, but an almost unfashionably clean sound. Lots of top end and presence rolled off, a sweet tone that demands a superior player.

That motel jam at 42:00 is the best. Dickie was such a natural musician. The other guitarist was great too on that. So much joy.

Shine on Dickey 💖💫

Insanely amazing music. Blasting full force with eloquence and grace. The Allman Brothers.

I can’t believe this good this is. They were always incredible in any format, of course. But I admit I had no idea they were THAT good at this time. There was more of a gruff roughness with the classic lineup with Greg and Barry, which is part of why that version of the band was one of the greatest. This is different, but no less great. I can’t believe how polished they sound, while still retaining the Allman “thing”.

Musicians, terribly sadly, are dying. They can’t live forever. But, I would argue music never, ever dies. Many special people have given their lives to the art with that ideas firmly in mind. Leaving a legacy, performing the very best they possibly can, and maybe most important, putting a lot of themselves in the songs they write. You can rest assured Dickey’s influence will outlast both of us. He was a very special guitar player. You might not see it, but he was deadly serious about every gig. His mind was a busy place, and a veery successful place as well. I worked with him again 15 years later and the very same man came to play. No partying, no congrats, he was a bit mysterious and I admire him more every day.

I love seeing that tag on this post showing Dickie off stage just hanging out with Danny Toler and the guys enjoying themselves. Betts singing is laid back and wonderful. He tells how he and Berry did so before Gregg joined them, saying the band needed a real singer. But there was no one who could do Blue Sky or Ramblin' Man better; Duane called on him to sing Blue Sky, saying it was Dickie's song, after all. Actually can'5imagine Gregg doing Ramblin' Man any better, which was also Betts' composition. This post gives you a deeper insight into the convivial and somewhat shy side of Betts' personality. He was known for his temper (even at 73, he told Dan Rather he was still working to get a handle on it
