comparing the Allmans to Skynyrd or Hatchet or any other southern rock band is just ridiculous. except for the fact that they came from Georgia, they have virtually nothing in common. people should STOP mentioning them in the same breath as those bands.
@staaarboy Isn't ridiculous man, come on, the Allman always hate "the southern rock tag" but they are the first band of that style in fact, with more of blues and jazz in his music than others... but southern rock at last in fact man!
@foolintherain100 Both are great man, if you don't like it Skynyrd don't insult them, they are one of the great ones of the rock and roll bands ever... just like the Allmans!
@foolintherain100 Ok, you love both but for you the Allmans are better than Skynyrd, no problem... I don't think so, Allmans & Skynyrd are great bands with different styles. Somebody can denied Skynyrd's talented musician like Steve Gaines, Ed King, Allen Collins, Billy Powell??? Please, give me a break!
@MarcellusReadhead75 The history I've been taught has the story differently. You can appeal to that "diff styles" garb if you wish. But, let's face it, Lyn Skyn was an ABB wannabe band. The ABB inspired Lyn Skyn. Lyn Skyn is like ABB's children, trying to emulate the sound their fathers created. The people I've met from that era in Georgia say that Lyn Skyn sucked back in the day, while the ABB kicked ass, and Lyn Skyn wanted to be like them. 10x more talent in ABB
@SoberAllmanBrosFan You say the same over and over again man... Sorry, I can't talk with a fanatic, a love both bands and I recognize very well ABB and Lyn Sky skills, you are obsess with the talent of the ABB.
@MarcellusReadhead75 I've been trying to for years. I've gotten better but sometimes I get really jazzed up and say, "fuck it! ABB is the GREATEST and I can PROVE it for reasons XYZ!" It's got to stop. true. easier said than done, though!
Richard is really sounding great all by himself...not easy on a tune like this that has a million overdubs. Gregory's organ and the piano (which I reckon is Chuck Leavell) are covering alot of ground...
They must have been still reeling from the loss of Duane. I'm sorry but when I see Dickey's face it looks like he's about to cry. Dickey described Berry as their de facto leader, trying to keep the band's spirits up after the Skydog's passing.
I saw this same tour in Albuquerque in 72, their live performance was just as you hear it here. As far as calling them Southern Rock, well at that time the name hadn't reached the masses, but we west coast hippie types and biker wantabes love this country influenced, melodic and sensible lyrical music. The sourther twang in dickies voice was obvious to us and some how we felt they bougth a lot of great sourthern hospitality to us. Thanks Allman Bros. The melodies are great!
Allman brothers are so much more than southern rock. They are actually way more blues. Calling the brothers southern rock is an insult. Look at the backrounds in their concerts it always phsycadelic. They were hippies all the way.
@jaybou263 Are you crazy man? Why you say is an insult? Is a matter of taste, is just one point of view. Obvious, the Allmans are so much more than southern rock, but they have a part of southern rock in his music, like The Marshall Tucker Band, Little Feat and others bands less rocker than Skynyrd, Hatchet, BOA, etc. Can you denied that fact?
I live in an area where southern rock is very popular, and every time the subject is brought up, everyone always talks about Lynyrd Skynyrd or Molly Hatchet. I always have to bring up the Allman Brothers, and their response is almost always "Oh yeah." No one ever remembers them, but musically they're the best southern rock band in existence.
@BobaBaggins They started the shit! Skynyrd wouldn't have existed if not for the Allmans popularity and thats pretty much a fact. After the allmans started kicking ass and taking names everyone coined the phrase Southern Rock and it became huge.
Dicky Betts is a genius. I recall...spring break 1976.. my senior year in college (WCU), we were at a Willie Nelson concert at Fox Theater in Atlanta. I was really tired and dozing while ol' Willie was playing ...suddenly a guy jumps on the stage with his white guitar. I yelled out..that's Dickie Betts! before he even hits his first note..naw my friends said..but there was no need to convince them..when Dickie started wailing away on that guitar...what a great night of music!
There seems to be an inherent sadness; I've watched this over and over and while the performance is amazing, I can't help but feel sad. Knowing that they are broken over Duane's death just a year earlier and it's about to visit them once again in 9 days. With that big spot light off to his left, Berry looks almost ghost like at times. Turn up your bass boosters on your computers for this one and I agree with the previous comment about his playing. Too bad about Dickie also.
Nobody has ever played the bass so busy and so melodically like BO ...NOBODY ...that is one thing that is missing from the ABB ...Allen...Rook ...Lamar (lamar may have come closest) and especially Oteil ...none of them have the bounce ...that Oakley played with ..it drove the whole band ..its been missing ..Pedro with Dickeys band plays ABB songs the best of any since Berry and its probably because hes a guitar player as well ..
Thanks for posting. Great stuff. Does anyone have video of the brothers doing the Tom Snyder/Tomorrow program, or the piece on them that 20/20 did? Both would have been mid to late '70's.
Poor Dickie. Saw him a few years back at a Gibson NAMM function jammin' with Lee Roy Parnell, Pat Martino(!?!), and Mark Selby, and he was so drunk he could barely play. Lee Roy was really happy to play with him, but Dickie was so fucked up he couldn't even play the ABB shit right. Forgetting where he's at in a straight blues. Sad. Folks around him say he just doesn't give a fuck any more. Sad.
That was a problem back in the days of the Second Coming, too. You just KNEW, as good as he is/was (AND the man is one of the best), Dickie might have serious problems at some point.
I'll always give it up to Dickie, tho. I make a living with a guitar in my hand, and I basically learned to improvise by playing along with with the Filmore East records. "What are you doing tonight?" my high school buds would ask on a Fri. night. "I'm gonna go home and jam with Duane and Dickie." I'd say. They wound up in jail and I learned the Dorian mode! LONG LIVE DICKIE!
It's a real testament that a band can lose a Duane and an Oakley and continue to make music like this. Dickey's no Duane, and never tried to be, but his songwriting and subtle showmanship kept 'em on track. Thanks Scotidave. Keep digging
I taped this on a cassette deck when it originally aired (still have it)by holding a condenser mike up to the TV. If you recall, this was before Ramblin Man was actually released (on Brothers and Sisters, at least a year later). Another concert I taped this way was a NewYear's Eve concert they did in SF, that was broadcast on WPLJ in NY. I think it was Dec 31 1973. Some of that show is on 'Wipe the Windows, Dollar Gas'. They did a medley of One Way Out into Stormy Monday which was great..
WOW! I thought I was the only one in America who remembered this! I was 13 when this was aired. BTW, somewhere in my archives is the stereo simalcast done on WPLJ! recorded on my dad's TEAC open reel deck. IIEC, this was the first of the "In Concert" series and also had Alice Cooper and Chuck Berry as well.
I would like to know who he is gonna replace. I saw Dickie a couple of years ago and after the show I told him he was the reason that the Allman Brothers had the success they did and he teared up. I have a great photo of us after the show.
just give it some time...2009 will be the 40th anniversary of the ABB...it just makes sense...i never lost my respect for Dickie...time heals all wounds...let time take its course...and yes Dickie did keep up the ABB through all the hard years...
its a shame he isn't still in the band. I have great memories of this music. my dad played eat a peach on vinyl a lot when I was a little kid. these are the guitars I hear in my head. some of these licks are burned in there permanently I'm sure.
I saw the Greg Allman Band and the Dickie Betts Band do a "Tribute to the Allman Brothers" at a small club (Tony's VIP, Knoxville, TN) ca 1984 or 85. Both bands did a set seperately (both included Allman songs) then they all got together to do a set, and I'm pretty sure it included all the surviving original members, and I'm pretty sure Chuck Lavell was playing with them too. That was my first ABB concert, and the best indoor gig I saw them do. They're always a little better outdoors imo.
MAN am i confused now."alawson2" is right i thought-the first broadcast of RamMan, but i swear i remember it as "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert"-on ABC every Fri nite; that one was Poco, Blood Sweat and Tears and the ABB w/ Berry, who passed on right before the TV show.didnt they dedicate it to him at the beginning or end? BTO and the other band [i forgot what he just said].... i dont remember that line up at all. HELP! p.s. thanx a LOT Scotiadave!!!
This was called "ABC in Concert", Kirshner produced it for the network, then syndicated "DKRC" later on. And this WAS the debut performance of Ramblin' Man, Chuck Leavell's 1st show and Berry's last show. He died 10 days later. The show aired anyway and band members thought they were watching a ghost. All this info I got from the ABB book "Midnight Riders".
Is dickey playing duanes les paul burst? If so it looks like changed the rhythm pickup (dont know why he would want to do that)- also does anyone know the fate of duanes two les pauls these days?
oh yah it looks like he dropped in a Zebra... but who knows Duane coulda done that before he died.... but i think greg has them, Duane had a Gold Top and a Tobacco burst Les Pauls... sweet guitars....RIP Duane...
wow i didnt realize that this was berrys last show until i scrolled down...a fine player he was and I THINK one of the best bass players of all time...
Clearly, the man sometimes seems lost without Duane. I've said other places that Dickey doesn't get the props deserved for gutting it out after Duane passed. Couldn't have been easy--being expected to fill those shoes. It shows what a real pro Dickey was. Eventually, the AB's developed a style that worked, and Dickey become one of the best slide players around.
damn! ABB played Cameron? God, I would pay good money to go back and be able to see that show. I have a season ticket package for Duke basketball, but I would trade them in a heartbeat for vintage Allman tickets.
W O W! this was Berry Oakley's last show, I believe.... :( damn, it's great but sad. btw, the venue is Hofstra University, Uniondale, NY (Long Island)- a tiny theatre, holds about 1,000! that musta been a helluva place to see the Brothers-
