One of the greats...
Okay—here it is __Found a version of the show on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYhla3IOMKQ Elizabeth Reed is actually more than 40 minutes long. The show is Dickie at Winterland 1974-12-14.
Luckily i found this on youtube...The file was way to big to try and transfer here...and my usual source, tela.surgarmegs.org didn’t have this show listed for some reason.
Wow, RIP, Dickie!
Dayum. Forrest Richard Betts...we’ll never forget ya. RIP.
“Didn’t Oakley and Duane Allman die in very similar bike accidents two years apart?”
Motorcycle accidents, within about a block of each other, I think it was just over a year apart.
“It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the Betts family announce the peaceful passing of Forrest Richard ‘Dickey’ Betts (December 12, 1943 – April 18, 2024) at the age of 80 years old. The legendary performer, songwriter, bandleader and family patriarch was at his home in Osprey, Florida, surrounded by his family. Dickey was larger than life, and his loss will be felt worldwide. At this difficult time, the family asks for prayers and respect for their privacy in the coming days. More information will be forthcoming at the appropriate time.”Dickie Betts pickin' on that red guitar!
I'm an old man and should not burst into tears like this.
I’m happy to have grown up listening to music on the radio in the 1970s. Rock and Roll is dead today.
Helping to make southern rock all it should be... Great!
Yup.
Damn, now I feel old...
Was walking thru the old DFW in ‘72 on my way to Orlando and saw a coupla really long haired guys with patches everywhere on their clothes and of course guitar cases. It was Dickie Betts and Berry Oakley - just before HIS accident - and they were trying to find their gate. Said Hey to them, they smiled back, went on my way. Guy I was going to visit used to do light show for them when they were the Allman Joys, seemed kinda cosmic that that happened...
Thats a shame. One of my favorite guitar players.
RIP
Bike= motorcycle.
Both were hit by a bus.
Don’t know if this applies, but in the Army there is an old saying, once is an anomaly, twice a coincidence and third time is enemy action.

Scroll down to Dicky, Dickie or Diky (some peopel can’t spell simple names.) Not a whole lot, but there is Dick Dale up above... Enjoy some of that good old rock and roll....
RIP Dickie. Thanks for the memories.
“Elizabeth Reed as well”

“A song Dickie Betts wrote for our second album, uh, “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed””
IMO, this live version on Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore is the finest piece of recorded music in the history of mankind.
The band up in heaven just improved.
My older brother introduced me to the Allman Brothers. Too young to have seen them play and not part of “my generation.”
I consider them a national treasure and cultural icons, who combined traditional Southern Blues and guitar-heavy rock-n-roll (and Jazz) in the next iteration of RnR after Elvis’ generation.
Truly an epitome of a 100% American (and southern) musical art form that could not have been produced anywhere else, or at any other time.
Only Jaimoe is left.
RIP indeed, thanks for letting us know, I was not aware
