Dickey Betts 65th Birthday Party Sarasota, FL 12/12/08

[dezziwood555]

If you are going to show a video of Betts, you should delete the first minute and a half when his guitar is out of tune as a courtesy to him. I would be embarrased if that was me tuning a guitar! Especiaaly on his 65th birthday! Later he drown out the other guitarists.

When I grow up and die one day, I wanna go up to the blue side of heaven because I know that's where one day that Dickey will be jammin' down to the masses below tellin' them to come on up and join the party. Thanks for everything Dickey. You're the best and always will be.

Happy b-day every year Dickey! "there was a band named the Jokers, they were layin' it down!" Keep layin' it down brother!(BTW reference to an old DB band referenced in a song by Rick Derringer and Johnny Winter)This cat doesn't owe anybody anything!He's trimmed more talent off his nails than most of you will ever have!

Happy belated 65th Dickey. I grew up on your tunes too. Wishing you good health and many more birthday jams to come.

[dougj193]

Whose garage are they playing at? Just awful - I guess at least Dickey footed the bill for the coolers of beer.

[tab7858]

You're quite the jackass. I saw Dickey in Peekskill, NY earlier this month and he blew the roof off.

[u000drl]

that drummer should keep his day job too much cymbal at too wrong of times!

[rorygg1]

i like lots of cymbals. who cares? dickey is cooking, that's all that matters

[johnthebabtiser]

Dickey you're one of the best.

[johnrussellCD5]

Happy Birthday Dickie... I grew up w/ your tunes and I'll always put your licks at the top of my list. I'll save December 12, 2009 as an open date on my calender.

Stay young and keep the fire burn'n! JR

[stoptheshearing]

Eddie is a treasure !!

[rocker53zero]

Why did Dickey exit the Allman Brothers Band, Was he kicked out ? If he is looking for work, he can join my band lol

[blaster1985]

Geez, 65! I know guys younger than that who can't put one foot in front of the other! Party on, Dickey! Your loss Allman's.

[maxx3442]

Wher at? I'm in Sarasota and am a huge fan.

[apike6]

This is a far cry better than the last thing I heard of him, that was when I lived in Sarasota a little over 5 years ago now. He was arrested for domestic violence while driving down I75 in Sarasota County

[drkskngrl]

Happy Birthday! ABB never had a clue but now we do.

[impala327]

Feliz navidad, Senor Betts! You are one of my main men on guitar. Beautiful tone and style. It is hard for a musician to make a style and tone that is instantly recognizable but Brother Dickey has done it for 40 years!

[rusteevee]

Hey! Is that Barry Richman on the left?

Pedro, Dickey, Duane and Barry - a whole passel of pickers! ;)

[IHIKML]

LOVE YOU DICKEY!!!!!
