One of the most underrated to ever do it. "Dickey's the good one" -Duane Throwin on Highway Call tonight
I've listened to this beautiful piece of music written by Betts approximately 69,000 times in my life. Rest in peace to a legend.
An Allman Bros. story I tell way too often ----> Eat a Peach and a bottle of shitty south american red wine kept me tethered to the surface of planet earth one night (I had just graduated from college and this completely blown out hippy shows up at a bar I was getting loaded at with a paper grocery bag full of magic mushrooms - of which I ate a very very stupid quantity). So thanks to Dickey and boys for keeping me safely grounded here on terra firma. RIP
I've seen them live more than any other band. I've got so much love for his music and guitar. One of the best.
Always been one of my all-time faves, even made the front page of my CD case collage that I pulled from my guitar mags as a kid. RIP Spoiler
Sucks so damn bad Dickey and Duane only got to play together for like a couple years. The fact they were in the same band is insane.
Not that many guys that can play and write songs so perfectly in so many different areas. Hot house jazz, country, blues, etc. Kinda just him and Jerry Garcia, imo
When my middle daughter gets married, we will inevitably dance to this song for the father / daughter. the amount of times I’ve sung this to her is unfathomable Rip to a great one
So glad I got to see him with the Allman Bros back in jr high. My dad still made me go to school the next day.
think this is the show that Owsley dosed the ABB with a squirt gun and Kreutzmann had to sit in for Butch Trucks who was simply too loaded to play
Dickey gave me a setlist from a Great Southern show circa 2002. Decent chance it’s still stuffed in a drawer in my room at my mom’s house.
First time I ever got high was at an Allman Brothers show on July 4 1996 at the conyers international horse park
Sat down criss cross apple sauce right up front inches away from Dickey in the magic bag in ferndale michigan 15 or so years ago talked to him out back for a couple minutes and he called me brother
If any of you heathens are driving 75 south through Ga on your way to Florida, take a few hours in Macon and see Capricorn studios and the museum at the big house
Bought Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollar Gas when I was in middle school because I had heard Jessica once. My intro to southern rock.
Their cover of this song is the easiest way to get guys over 40 to figure out where Georgia Southern is, love the Allman Brothers so much.
Here’s to my dad being with your dad My dad always liked to brag about how many times he saw ABB in random bars before they got big. Mom’s dad bailed Dickey out of jail one time when the ABB were playing at the Senior Bowl. Kinda dusty in here atm
Jessica is the greatest instrumental track of all time in popular music. You almost don't even think about it being an instrumental it's so good.
