In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm paying tribute to Dickey Betts of The Allman Brothers Band, who passed away recently at the age of 80. His guitar work is well respected across the musical universe, and his memory and legacy will live on in the music that he created. RIP Dickey!

My mentally disabled wife is dealing with both of her parents in the hospital, both at the end of their times. My wife is far and beyond able to cope with this cycle of life that cannot be denied and she vents her anguish and frustrations to me every day. As I try my best to support and comfort her I wish that I could do more for her. Music has always been my coping tool through all of the hard times that life has presented to me and this particular song has been one of my favorite go-to's. It has uplifted me, supported me and carried me through many tough times and tonight I feel blessed to hear it once again. I was not looking for it, but Doug's episode brought it to me when I really needed it! Thank you Doug for helping out a soul in a way that I am betting you never intended to.

This isn't the first time Doug has first listened to a song that someone out there needed the most at that time. He did the same for me last week with another tribute honoring another musician who passed away by reacting to To Our Childrens Childrens Children. Just what I needed with what I've been going through. Its been my favorite Moody Blues album for a few years now.

Probably the most iconic southern rock song ever written. It was performed flawlessly live on this album. Dickey Betts was one of the world's greatest guitar players who was influenced by many jazz artists (by his own admission). You can certainly hear the jazz influence on this wonderful live recording (time and scale changes). The whole album is great but this song is a true masterpiece. A group of unbelievable talents at the top of their game. I bought this album when it came out in 1971 and literally wore it out. I have a number of copies on different media forms now and have listened to it thousands of times and it never gets old. I have also seen them live a number of times and their stage presence was amazing. Rest in peace Duane, Gregg, Berry, Dickey and Butch. There will never be another Allman Brothers Band but somewhere out there is a helluva jam session going on.

from the wiki article on this live performance in this performance, taken from the March 13, 1971 (first show) concert by the group,[12] Betts opens the piece with ethereal volume swells on his guitar, giving the aural impression of violins.[13][14] Slowly the first theme begins to emerge, Duane Allman's guitar joining Betts in a dual lead that variously doubles the melody,[15] provides a harmony line,[16] or provides counterpoint.[15] The tempo then picks up in the next section[14] to a Santana-like,[3] quasi-Latin beat, a strong second-theme melody driven by unison playing and harmonized guitars arising.[11] Betts next plays a solo[13][14] using the second theme as a starting-off point.[17] This leads into an organ solo from Gregg Allman, with the two guitars playing rhythm figures in the background. Throughout, percussionists Butch Trucks and Jai Johanny Johanson play in unison, laying what has been described as "a thick bed of ride-snare rhythm for the soloists to luxuriate upon."[18] Duane Allman then[14] starts quietly rephrasing the first theme, gradually building to a high-pitched climax, Berry Oakley's bass guitar playing a strong counterpoint against the band's trademark percussion. Allman cools into a reverie, then starts again, finding an even more furious peak.[17] Parts of this solo would draw comparison to John Coltrane and his sheets of sound,[17] other parts to Miles Davis' classic Kind of Blue album. Duane Allman biographer Randy Poe wrote that "[Allman]'s playing jazz in a rock context" reflected the emerging jazz fusion movement, only in reverse.[14] Allman himself told writer Robert Palmer at that time, "that kind of playing comes from Miles and Coltrane, and particularly Kind of Blue. I've listened to that album so many times that for the past couple of years, I haven't hardly listened to anything else."[14] Almost two decades later, Palmer would write of the Allmans, "that if the musicians hadn't quite scaled Coltrane-like heights, they had come as close as any rock band was likely to get."[19] Rolling Stone would say in 2002 that the composition's performance found the musicians "lock[ed] together ... with the grace and passion of the tightest jazz musicians,"[20] while in 2008, it said the trills, crawls, and sustain of the guitar work represented "the language of jazz charged with electric R&B futurism."[11] Following the Duane Allman solo the band drops off to a relatively brief but to-the-point percussion break by Trucks and Johanson reflecting Kind of Blue drummer Jimmy Cobb's work.[21] The full band then enters to recap the mid-tempo second theme, finishing the performance abruptly.[21] Several silent beats pass before the Fillmore audience erupts in riotous applause.[21]

Yes, that’s Dicky taking the 1st guitar solo and Duane the 2nd. I once described the difference between Dicky’s playing (which I liked) and Duane’s playing (which, to this day, amazes me) to a friend as the difference between a bow & arrow (Dicky) and a rocket launcher (Duane). That said, it was how they played together and off of each other that made the magic. Thanks for playing this!❤

I was a late bloomer when I heard this album in 1989 spending most of my income on rent, car insurance, and concert tickets. Not much leftover for food and albums. One day soon, I hope to buy this album which has the phenomenal Whipping Post on it also.

Something i noticed early on... When both lead guitars were playing, it sounded as if both guitars were very slightly detuned from each other, slightly sharp or slightly flat. It gives the guitars a sort of "celesta" effect. It's easy to miss without headphones. This is an effect that is frequently used in theatre pipe organs.

Hi Doug. Thanks for the tribute to Dickey Betts. Just a small correction, the drummers name, affectionately called Jaimo, is pronounced "Jay Johnny Johnson", despite the spelling.

I saw Gregg sit in at the Maple Leaf, a few years before his death. He was headlining Gretna Fest, and the band scheduled for the Leaf a night or two prior was his backing band, but most people didn't know that. He sat in for three or four tunes during their second set. My dad and I headed over to Jacques Imo's for some late night eats after Gregg left the stage. He was then seated next to us, about ten or fifteen minutes later. My dad (about Gregg's age) spoke with him for a few minutes as we both were leaving.

The first concert I ever saw was the Allman Brothers Band in 1975. I was almost 12, and it was life changing. Duane and Berry were gone, but with the pick up of Chuck Leavell was something really cool. Watching Dickey and Chuck trade off solos and Gregg was amazing. When they played this tune, Chuck took the first solo on piano, then Gregg's solo, then Dickey took the final solo. And for the rest of his time in the band, Dickey always would take the solo slots that were once Duane's. A little side note, just four years after I saw the ABB in '75, my cousin Debbie gives birth to a baby boy and they name him Derek. And before his 20th birthday, Derek would be announced as the new guitarist for the band. That summer of '99 with Derek and Dickey was a very special one. Rest well Ranger. You've done a damn good job.

It's hard to believe a man Doug's age had never heard that before! It's ubiqitous as (in many people's opinion) the best song on the best rock live album ever. Well, now he has, and seems to have enjoyed what the rest of us hve known about for decades.

And just roughly 2 1/2 years earlier ? Gregg was not known as a keyboard player, per se. He was brought into the band by his brother for his vocals. They bought Gregg a Hammond, put a large red bow on it, along with some beer & massive joints and told him. "Surprise, it's yours- we need you to learn this thing"..... An accomplished musician already, this was no problem for Gregg.... 🚬😎👍

He’s rolling the volume knob with his pinky while playing the notes.Watch a live Jeff Beck to see that technique

FYI: When you play the shaker, the volume of the music drops back substantially. Also, though Jai Johanny Johanson (aka 'Jaimoe') is occasionally listed on percussion, he is actually on drums, playing a small jazz kit. He was the original drummer, though Butch Trucks was added to increase the robustness of the rhythm section. It did MUCH more than that, especially with the Berry Oakley's constantly prowling bass lines. Like Duane and Dickey, the rhythm section were also stars - they made this music move. A friend of mine called the Allman Brothers Band 'the Count Basie Band of rock 'n' roll', which is surely apt. 'Les Breres in A Minor' and 'Mountain Jam' (inspired by Donovan's 'First There is a Mountain') are two other great instrumentals, as is the band's interpretation of the Spencer Davis Group's 'Don't Want You No More', which opens the first album.

We enjoyed a 3AM, 45 minute jam of "Elizabeth Reed" at the State Bridge venue in Colorado, about 12 years ago, with six guitarists 🎸... only a couple dozen of us (workers or guests) were still awake for it. Btw: Allmans were the last act at Watkins Glen: July 28, 1973. Yes, I was there...

The story I heard from my (huge Allmans fan) father is that Dickey was having his first time with a lady in that cemetery and right after they were done, he rolled over and "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" was the first thing he saw on an adjacent headstone. So Doug's story here isn't incompatible with what I heard, but I think my story is more transgressive and fun.

I have heard similar tales. Also, the cemetery was where the band went to party.

Long time ABB fan here - Jaimoe's name was pronounced (despite his spelling) like Jay Johnny Johnson. I heard that from the man himself.

I just saw in the paper that P. D. Q. Bach died. Last member of the Bach family. I'd love to request a reaction to one of his works. His 5th symphony, Oedipus, Overture, and Fugue are all worthy starting points.
