On a sleepy Monday night in Ithaca, NY 1983. As a bass player I was in the house band at The Nines on College Ave. We hosted a blues jam every week for the locals. One of the staff came up to the stage and said, “Dickey Betts and Butch Trucks are here playing pool in the back and wanna know if they can jam.” I wound up doing 45 minutes with these guys. Jimmy Hall was singing. Chuck Leavell was not there that night. They were so used to playing big stages that it was the loudest band I had ever played with. I was wore out after the set. There is tape documentation somewhere.🖖👽

So nice that someone filmed this and saved it for all to see and hear....this group was tight....R.I.P. Mr Betts and Mr Truck's The Allman Brothers Band are the reason I play guitar today and I'm sure there are a lot more like me out there who could say the same.

Dickey Betts fluid guitar was as distinctive as Duane Allmans Slide playing. His amazing ability to craft melodies with a wicked double guitar line up made the allman brothers the undisputed Fathers of yes, Southern Music. 1969- Macon Georgia. Eat a peach for peace, Duane Allman.

Saw them in a small bar outside of Rochester,NY about same time period. The stage was a about 2ft. off the ground and I was standing next to Chuck Leavell watching play the whole show! Awsome!

I love this fusion of rock, funk and soul. If Dickie Betts continued this group it may succeed just like ABB. They could've been the pioneer of this new genre.

I love the opening monologue before Rain by Chuck because that's exactly the environment he lives in to this very day. It's about as far out into the middle of nowhere as you can possibly imagine. Yes I know him personally... very cool and down to earth guy.

Where has this lineup been all my life? Just fell into this video and still can't pick my jaw up from the floor. No mistaken, sure enough this is Dickey Betts. My main man on guitar -- and so young. Hell, he was a much finer singer than one can tell from hearing just all his ABB and Great Southern work. And lordy, Butch Trucks! Not forgetting to mention The Rook's always fine work, and the perfectly marvelous Leavell singing up a storm. But these other guys? The fiddle player knocks me out. Can't say I'm loving Hall's (?) overpowering singing but his instrument (?) stuff is a joy to hear. What's especially a joy is to see DB enjoying himself and absolutely taking the reins off his talent here. Not sure I can fully appreciate until I can get over the shock and re-listen several more times.Thank you so much for posting.

So........ My memory is a bit fuzzy from this time period but I'm pretty sure I was at this show. And I'm pretty sure a young up 'n comer named John Bongiovi, yes that's how it was spelled on the marquee, opened the show. Also Johnny Winter on the bill. Anyone else remember this!!?? It was a killer event for me, I was only 15 but seeing Dickey Betts, one of my heroes at the time and Johnny Winter also, was a big thrill being a budding guitar player myself.

A little late reply but your memory's fine. Guitar freak then and now. I drove two hours from NY that night to see Johnny Winter after Muddy Waters had recently passed. BHLT was fairly new and I couldn't believe how great they were. One of my best comcerts ever.

when i was a kid first time i heard the raspy sax style was from Junior Walker and the All Stars in the 60s and i loved it . Of course there were others who played that style before him . the Stones added one, Steely Dan, and you hear it till this day in pop, jazz and rock . And i must say i am sick of it . And it don't sound right here in this video either . Now Charlie Parker who died in 1955 could play any style, he was a genius . Im more of Stan Getz smooth style sax player lover now .

Duane Allman put the ABB together. It was his band. They had to wait for Gregg to hitch hike across the country to get him to sing at their first rehearsal. The ABB never sounded as good after Duane's death. Listen to the Allman Brothers Band Recording Company live recordings with Duane playing. They are simply amazing to hear. Everyone in the ABB played better because Duane was so good.
