Happy Birthday :birthday: :birthday: :birthday: to the one and only Mr. Dickey Betts! Thanks so much for the many years of great music! Just letting you know that we all miss seeing you play and if you get too bored hanging out at home, book a few shows and we will be there!!! 😀 Enjoy your day brother!!!! 😎

Dies anyone have a copy the show DB&GS show at the Albany Egg in upstate NY? I was there and was blown away by the tone coming from Duane's amp that night. I helped load the equipment into the trailer at the end of the night and one of the roadies told me that that was the amp Dickey played with on the Live at the Fillmore East album. The nest live record ever recorded! Merry Christmas

Saw a clip of brother Duane betts at the beacon theatre last night!!! Didn't I tell ya!!!

What's up ? Been a long time since I checked in here with my fellow Dickheads and Dickheadresses... One thing will always stay constant... Dickey Betts is the greatest of all time... His playing and compositions are medicine for the soul...no one has ever made me have that feeling and spirit as seeing Dickey play...the tone, the spirit...they're are no substitutes...he is a one of a kind that will never be duplicated. Thank you Dickey for all the great years and great music and memories...enjoy your retirement. I will continue to enlighten my children and now grandchildren to your magic... Here's to Blue Skies in everyone's future... Singing While I'm :walk:

Hey there everyone! Hope you all had a great holiday! Been listening to the Fillmore album and can't help but think how cool that record was and what an awesome version of Mountain Jam! I have been looking for newer versions with Dickey and it seems like after Duane passed it was rarely played anymore. The clip I found was with DDT from the late 70's. Take care everyone! 😎

Happy Thanksgiving folks!! and remember are service members too!

I would love to see a collectors # 2, maybe some home recordings etc... Love you Dickey Betts Happy Thanksgiving to ALL

Hey SWA22, I think your signature says it all. I agree, no one here seems to want to talk guitar anymore either. I also think that as of now, it's probably safe to say that Dickey has retired. 40+ years on the road has got to take its toll. His amazing body of work speaks for itself. That said, I'd still love to see him in a stone cold blues band.

Hey Leaf, Thanks...no soap dropping on this end...I wouldn't consider myself an ex-con, just a 20 day stint in Fairfax, Virginia for being in the wrong place at the wrong time... Being cooped up with 20 guys with no yard to walk, leads to fist-a-cuffs once in awhile...sh*t happens I'd like to be thought as a songwriter and guitar player not an ex-con...remember Merle Haggard was in Folsom Prison when Johnny Cash recorded his live album sitting in the front row. Prison taught me to appreciate my freedom, every day, every minute, every second! Keep on Rockin' in the Freeworld!
